Orlando Sentinel: Dreaming back to the 1995 Finals, Howard Howard officially took over from Shaquille O'Neal and led the Magic to the Finals.
Shark O'Neal debuted in 1992 and played in the Finals in 1995. After waiting for 3 years, he had a chance to prove how powerful he was.
Warcraft Howard debuted in 2004 and played in the finals in 2009. He waited for 5 years before he could tell everyone that he had to prove that he was very powerful and could win the championship without anyone else teaching him.
There is not much difference in the leadership level between O'Neal and Howard. What you need to know is that the reason why Howard is two years late is because Howard was drafted out of high school.
…
Los Angeles Times: There are at least 4 games left to achieve the goal of defending the championship!
Kobe is about to surpass O'Neal and win his fifth championship ring ahead of schedule.
The Lakers waited for three years and three years to prove their vision. Kobe was more self-disciplined than O'Neal and had a brighter future.
After all, the Lakers management did not pay attention to the selection in 2004.
The strongest head coach has emerged. As expected, Jackson can't wear all the championship rings on both hands, and he is as good as the King of the Rings.
…
June 4, Staples Center Arena.
Night falls.
At this time, the home court of the Lakers was about to host the G1 game against the Magic in the 2008/09 season finals. The lights were bright and there was a sea of people.
The stars here are even brighter.
The pretty cheerleader girl's waist twisted even more flatteringly.
The faces of enthusiastic Lakers fans smiled even brighter.
During the warm-up, Kobe and Howard chatted very enthusiastically, and they talked about it for a few cents.
Regardless of the outcome of the finals, both of them are winners. Today, they are indeed very easy to talk to and their words are very nice.
Gasol and Odom also joined in.
Su Bei still quietly warmed up and shot.
This game will be broadcast live by TNT Radio. Barkley, Kenny Smith, Mike Breen and Marv Albert form a four-man commentary team.
"Without the Celtics as an opponent, the Lakers have become the most popular team to compete for the championship.
As long as everyone is not blind, they will choose to side with the Lakers.
In terms of the Magic's foundation and lineup, they are still far from the championship.
We were able to reach the championship only because of injuries and the injuries of our opponents, which allowed the Magic to take advantage."
"It can't be said that the Magic still have some strength, and their lineup was very restrained against the Lakers in the regular season.
In 2 games during the regular season, the Magic achieved 2 wins.
If it weren't for injuries, it would be really difficult for the Lakers to win the championship.
The Magic's only winning point was lost due to injuries.
Nelson Jr.'s injury and season reimbursement cost the Magic their biggest advantage against the Lakers.
Although Nelson Jr. will come back early after reaching the finals, it is still very demanding for a player with a height of 183.
Because, with a natural loss of 183, it is a miracle to be able to play in the NBA. Nelson Jr. has also made the All-Star team, which is the ultimate.
It's just a pity that injuries are merciless. Nelson Jr. returns early and his ability to recover is the key to the Magic's ability to last a few games..."
What is the truth about winning rate and not winning rate?
It is meaningless anymore. The Lakers have the greatest chance of winning. Any winning percentage given to the Magic is all lies. Dreams are always necessary?
What if there are fans who really buy tickets to watch the game for their so-called dreams?
Sometimes, chicken soup is still worth a lot of money.
Just like merchants can create one festival after another in order to sell goods.
However, there are still people willing to pay for the festival promoted by a bunch of soft articles.
That's too far.
The 2009 finals have begun.
Magic's top five, Howard, Lewis, Turkoglu, Courtney Lee, Alston.
Lakers five players, Bynum, Gasol, Su Bei, Kobe, Fisher.
Beep——!
When the whistle sounded, the referee threw the basketball high in the air. Howard was worthy of the Warcraft and defeated Bynum forcefully and scored the first attack for the Magic.
Players rushed forward like a tide, and Su Bei followed Turkoglu to the left flank.
"Alston brought the ball to the frontcourt, fought positionally, and distributed the ball to Turkoglu.
After three threats, he stepped, stepped, picked up the ball, flicked his hands, and hoisted the basketball to the basket.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Peng——!
After catching the ball and crashing into Bynum, Howard used his body to get to the basket, hit the man and ate up Bynum..."
Bang-dang——!
Howard's body is incredible.
Bynum couldn't stand it, but Howard's offense still came through.
"It was so nervous, Howard obviously used too much force.
I missed all my shots close to the basket. Apart from nervousness, I can't think of any other reason..."
Well, except for the reason that his body is invincible and his shooting is poor.
Hong Kong, Howard is on the court, as long as he has the accuracy on the bed, he will not miss like this.
"Bynum grabbed the rebound and passed the ball to Fisher to advance.
The rhythm was still leisurely. After halftime, the ball was given to Kobe.
Turkoglu, who was guarding Kobe Bryant, looked around and found no waves, so he passed the ball to Su Bei on the right."
"Courtney Lee defended, Su Bei lifted the ball and took a feint shot, passed by, went to the inside, saw Howard rushing towards him, and casually sent the basketball into the sky..."
Bang-dang——!
Bynum dunked with both hands, his whole body hanging from the southeast corner.
0 to 2!
"You can't escape Kobe, who is a freshman in junior high school, but you can't escape Su Bei, who is fifteen.
On the stage of the Finals, the Magic failed to consider the task of allowing rookie Courtney Lee to play shooting guard.
The Lakers will definitely not tolerate them, so they will naturally take advantage of this opportunity.
Of course, it is very possible for the Magic, but they have no choice. They also want to be a good defensive player, but there is only one JJ Redick on the bench..."
JJ Hodik is strong in offense and weak in defense, and the defense is also a question of giving away points.
Swish——!
Turkoglu returned the favor and hit a three-point jumper against Subei's defense.
With a height of 2.08 meters, a point-forward style of play, a smart style of play, and the effect of withdrawing from the air, Su Bei is really not used to it defensively.
“Terkoglu’s three-point shot was very decisive.
Howard, a powerful rebounder, is likely to be his source of confidence.
Of course, Turkoglu also has some quality, regardless of defense, he is definitely an All-Star."
3 to 2!
"Kobe broke through and passed Turkoglu without going deep into the penalty area.
Howard's striking power in the penalty area is still very strong, and he can distribute the ball, making Bynum the most handsome boy on the court..."
Bang-dang——!
It was Bynum's two-handed slam dunk again, his whole body hanging on the basket.
3 to 4!
“The Magic’s perimeter lineup is really hard to describe.
Alston is not wanted by the Rockets, Courtney Lee is still a child, Turklug is not talented enough...
The Magic's three perimeter shooters may not be enough for Kobe Bryant.
In terms of outside strength comparison, the gap is still too big."
The Magic's offense seems to know its own business.
But, having already reached the finals, there are no excuses.
The more you are looked down upon, the more resolute and tough you must fight.
"Alston took the ball through half-time and he broke through, like passing through the streets in the early morning, past Fisher.
When it comes to dribbling, Alston is pretty reliable. How is his finishing ability?
Alston made an emergency stop and took a two-point shot..."
Swish——!
Playing in the finals for the first time, Alston, as the backup point guard, was not overwhelmed and instead played very bravely.
5 to 4!
"Beautiful, Als used people and shots to challenge Fisher's offense.
This is critical!
If the Magic wants to beat the Lakers, they have to exploit the Lakers' weaknesses and attack them hard.
Whether Alstom can defeat Fisher is the most important factor that determines this game."
"Looking back, the Lakers played a triangle team strategy.
Su Bei received the pass and lobbed it to Gasol, and Fisher cut into the basket.
Huh?
Alston did not chase directly, but teamed up with Lewis to flank Gasol.
About to lose, Alston stole Gasol, pushed the pace, and started a run-and-gun battle.
Subei retreated quickly, Alston paused, and then passed the ball to Howard who came back, received the ball in the penalty area, and jumped up..."
Bang-dang——!
Su Bei dodged and allowed Howard to slam dunk with both hands under the basket and hit two points into the basket.
7 to 4!
It was promised that the Magic would have a flaw on the outside. Unexpectedly, at the beginning of the game, it was very dramatic.
The sudden explosion on both ends of the offense and defense really caught the Lakers off guard.
Fortunately, the advantage is still on my side.
Kobe received the ball and singled out Courtney Lee. The Magic wanted to use a newcomer to test the effectiveness of Kobe's offensive machete.
As a result, you will die if you try.
"Three threats, speed up to the free throw line, raise your hand and shoot a two-point fadeaway jumper..."
Swish——!
Courtney Lee's blocking defense was ignored. Kobe scored the points with force and showed no mercy, scoring a mediocre two-point goal.
7 to 6!
Magic offense.
Alston dribbled the ball across half court and made another breakthrough. Against Fisher's block, he raised his hand and shot a two-point jumper...
Bang-dang——!
Without Jordan's life, but suffering from Jordan's disease?
Alston's offensive and defensive brilliance at the beginning made him think that he was the protagonist. As a result, he continued to challenge Fisher's offense and missed the shot.
"The transition between offense and defense, the Lakers' run-and-gun offense.
Fisher received Gasol's pass, took two steps, and passed the ball to Kobe.
Breaking through, entering the penalty area, Kobe made a three-step layup... No, he split the basketball while running.
Su Bei received the ball from outside the three-point line, raised his hand and shot a chasing three-point jumper..."
Kotglu's outburst and reaction were still half a beat too slow. We could only bet that Su Bei's three-point pistol had no bullets.
Swish——!
If you guess wrong, you have to stand up straight and admit your mistake and get beaten.
Su Bei's three-pointers were always missed and hit the basket accurately.
7 to 9!
Bang-dang——!
Alston has the heart to be the protagonist. This is not a bad thing, but he just does it by himself when he gets the ball, and he doesn’t have any ideas in mind?
Do you really think that the Magic play the Rockets' Princeton system, where role players can take any shot?
Can you ignore the position of the core players and let them follow you?
All I can say is that it's all Benzema's fault.
Stan Van Gundy was angry, rushed to the sidelines, and lectured Alston.
“f…x!
Give that damn basketball to Howard or Kurt Grew!
uand?(Do you understand)”
Alston replied with a confused face.
In his previous life in Northern Jiangsu, because he didn't understand and thought that in a free and democratic country, he could buy all kinds of things for zero yuan, as a result, he was taught how to be a good man by the great Van Gundy and was forced to sit on the bench and eat ashes.
After losing, Alston actually dared to talk back and complained to the media: the head coach refused to give him more playing time.
He is also a talented person. I didn’t know it, but I thought he led the Magic to the finals!
