Weight gain still has a lot of impact. Kwame Brown weighs 122 kilograms and faces Howard who is 115 kilograms. His bounce and speed are a little bit inferior to his opponent. Although it is small, when the two focus on jumping balls, especially

It was because Howard had been bullied by the Eagles to take the jump ball very seriously that Kwame Brown lost the jump ball for the first time this season.

The Magic attack first.

Nelson received the ball and advanced towards the frontcourt.

After arriving in the frontcourt, Nelson did not pass the ball to Hill, but handed the ball to Rahim. Rahim was forced to start relying on his advantage of playing the fourth position and controlling the ball quickly, from the outside.

Launch an attack.

Hill is okay in singles with the ball, but his efficiency is not high. The key is that his organizational ability with the ball has declined. His organizational ability has declined because his efficiency in singles has declined, which has become a vicious cycle. After playing a few games, he gave up the ball.

Concentrating on scoring and relying on his height and wingspan to grab rebounds, of course, is not very productive. His performance last season can basically be regarded as the final brilliance of a star.

Nelson and Hill have no competing interests. Nelson is only in his second year, so his contract will not be affected. Only those players who want to renew their contracts will be affected by Hill, because Hill's contract accounts for one-third of the salary cap.

When Hill gave up the ball, Nelson was even happier. After Raheem finished playing, it was his turn.

Rahim received the ball at the top of the arc, and Rasheed Wallace felt in trouble. This former teammate who entered the NBA at the same time as him and was in his prime in his twenties, Rasheed Wallace knew.

How strong he is, after all, he was a member of the "female love group" back then.

Raheem can shoot out of the blue, can drop into the low post, and has a certain three-point ability, but he doesn't dare to let it go. Rasheed Wallace feels that it is difficult to guard against breakthroughs.

Rahim decisively chose to break through. Rasheed Wallace quickly followed up, but still couldn't keep up. He could only chase after Rahim closely. Kwame Brown under the basket also stood for three seconds.

On the right side of the zone, we are ready to help defend.

Rahim rushed inside, attracted Kwame Brown to help defend, and passed the ball to the left side of the three-second zone. After receiving the ball, Howard prepared to take a step to dunk...

etc!

Wasn't the king of technical fouls chasing Raheem? Howard saw Rasheed Wallace coming and rushed towards him! As soon as Howard received the ball, he was blocked by Rasheed Wallace.

before!

Raheem still has some limitations in organizing the offense. Vision is not necessarily good if he is tall, nor is his vision bad if he is short.

Raheem's vision was very average, and he basically relied on breakthroughs and distribution of the ball to organize the offense. He did not notice that Rasheed Wallace, who was following behind him, was not rushing towards him. He saw Kwame Brown coming up to cover the defense, and he also

I thought I had attracted a double-team!

Indeed, in theory, Raheem can also attract double-teams. Howard's scoring surge this season has a lot to do with Raheem's ability to score under the basket and attract double-teams.

Howard saw Rasheed Wallace coming forward, so he calmed down, turned sideways and hit the low post, and bumped into Rasheed Wallace, preparing to use his body to clear the way for him!

Howard hit Rasheed Wallace hard, and Rasheed Wallace suddenly dodged to the side. Rasheed Wallace was so smart that he knew how to avoid his own disadvantages and defend his opponent.

Howard savagely collided with Rasheed Wallace, knowing that he couldn't stop him, so he took advantage of the time and pulled out a chair!

Due to lack of strength in his lower limbs, Howard relied on the explosive power of his upper limbs to hit the back when he hit him. His center of gravity was too high. Rasheed Wallace pulled his chair away and threw him to the ground sideways!

Apart from the pain, the fall did not damage Howard, but he dropped the ball!

Rasheed Wallace's excellent defensive awareness completed a perfect defensive switch!

Kwame Brown turned and bent to grab the ball before Raheem and immediately passed it to Rasheed Wallace.

Howard, who was lying on the floor, reacted very quickly. Without any defensive awareness, he pulled Rasheed Wallace's foot. The referee's whistle sounded and Howard committed a foul!

The Hawks' switching defense and the defensive effect of the inside defense when they are not super inside players. Except for O'Neal, the Hawks' inside defense in the first six games this season has been very good. Gasol was blocked yesterday and made 4 of 14 shots.

Howard made a good tactical foul. He got up and patted his shoulder. He smiled again and turned back to defend.

The Eagles' fast break was interrupted and they fell into a positional battle.

After Liu Mang received McGrady's serve, he raised his eyebrows at McGrady. McGrady ran to the front court. Liu Mang understood. He came first and advanced toward the front court.

There's a reason why McGrady asked Liu Mang to come first. McGrady's defender is DeShawn Stevenson, a top-notch defender. Liu Mang's opposite Nelson is far behind.

When Liu Mang reached the frontcourt, he didn't even stop. He passed the center line and began to accelerate toward the right. Nelson quickly moved to the left. Liu Mang reached outside the three-point line and suddenly changed direction to the left.

"Ding...the most powerful first step is triggered, the host's speed will be 5 within two seconds of this breakthrough..."

With a lightning-like change of direction, Nelson moved ahead of time, leaving too much space for Liu Mang to reach the inside without any hindrance.

Howard's potential as an inside defensive gate has begun to shine this season. He stepped forward and blocked Liu Mang. At the same time, he also blocked Liu Mang's angle from observing the inside pass.

However, because Nelson did not give Liu Mang any hindrance, Liu Mang had already chosen the passing route when he broke through, took the initiative to stick to Howard sideways, and shot the ball towards Howard's crotch...

Crotch pass!

Kwame Brown caught the ball under the basket and put the ball into the basket with both hands!

The gap between Liu Mang and Rahim's passing is obvious, and the opportunities created are very different.

In transition between offense and defense, the Magic attack.

The Magic's slow start continued. Raheem rushed inside and stopped passing the ball. He missed a one-step pull-up jump shot on the right side of the three-second zone!

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Howard currently ranks second in rebounds per game this season, second only to Garnett's 13.7 rebounds per game. He is pushing hard with Kwame Brown, trying to

Rushing for offensive rebounds, rebounding is their team's only advantage.

But... Kwame Brown didn't go to grab rebounds at all. He just wanted to prevent Howard from grabbing rebounds. He used a body stronger than Howard to resist Howard.

Howard rubbed forward, rubbing like crazy, and then...

Feet slipping on the floor!

You can't squeeze in at all!

After Rasheed Wallace was almost shot, Raheem rushed inside and grabbed the ball. Fortunately, Rasheed Wallace reacted quickly. When he rushed in, he went directly to the block instead of trying to defend the ball.

He blocked the ball and narrowly won the rebound.

The Magic retreated quickly. Their lineup retreated quickly and could always drag the game into a positional battle. Although Hill's offense with the ball declined, his defense became better. The Magic couldn't see it before the start of the season.

Hill's decline was so much because of this. Hill's speed and enthusiasm were fine, but his ability to hold the ball and attack was not as good as he wanted.

Liu Mang received a pass from Rasheed Wallace, advanced slowly, waited for his teammates to get into position, and started a positional battle.

After advancing to the front court, Liu Mang passed the center line and continued to accelerate the breakthrough!

After the first attack, the Magic's defense changed. When Liu Mang broke into the mid-range, Hill had already blocked him, and Liu Mang quickly took the corner!

The Magic's defense was very selective, letting Prince, the Hawks' worst scorer, get open shots.

After Prince received the ball, Howard was ready to squeeze Kwame Brown to grab the rebound. But to Howard's surprise, Kwame Brown retreated to the free throw line, making Howard very puzzled and disappointed with himself.

Are your teammates so confident? Or don't they fight for offensive rebounds and prepare to defend against counterattacks? The Magic counterattack very quickly, but their counterattack efficiency is not good!

Instead of catching the ball and shooting as the Magic players expected, Prince received the ball and dribbled toward the basket!

Howard's enthusiasm was beyond words, and he immediately turned around and took up his position. As long as Prince took a shot, he was confident that he would block it! This kind of direct breakthrough also gave the inside a chance to block the defense. Howard was able to defend seven or eight times out of ten!

After Prince rushed to the edge of the three-second zone and jumped up, Howard jumped high and blocked all of Prince's shooting routes. At this time, Prince threw the ball toward the free throw line, and Howard turned his head in the air.

At first glance, Kwame Brown's face was already facing him!

Howard was knocked out in the air, and Kwame Brown dunked from behind!

The Magic never expected that the Eagles' opening offense would be all about Kwame Brown!

Moreover, even Prince’s half-hearted dribbling and passing skills chose to pass the ball to Kwame Brown!

It is not uncommon for Prince to provide assists. He also averages 1.5 assists per game when he receives the ball and is defended. However, his breakthrough and distribution is indeed something the Magic did not expect, so they can let him

It's so easy to break through and pass the ball.

Kwame Brown scored 4 points in a row!

Next, Howard started the most difficult game in the second year of his career. He discovered that the malice he felt at the beginning of the game was not an illusion, it was real!

The Eagles are targeting him!

Kwame Brown and Rasheed Wallace mainly blocked him from scoring. When grabbing rebounds, they would rather let Raheem grab the rebound than block his rebound.

On the offensive end, if he can pass the ball to Kwame Brown, no matter how difficult it is, he will try his best to pass it to Kwame Brown to score.

The Eagles' plan was strictly implemented. Even though Raheem had a strong rebounding ability and rushed to grab offensive rebounds many times, they still refused to let him go.

Howard was typing and typing, but he couldn't be happy anymore!

At the end of the first quarter, Raheem scored 9 points and 4 rebounds. The Magic scored 20 points in a single quarter. The Eagles did not score many points and the pace was very slow. They scored 26 points, but Kwame Brown alone scored 26 points.

Scored 11 points! 5 of 8 shots!
