"The game that impressed me most, or the most important game in my career, was not the hard-fought Game 7 against the San Antonio Spurs, when we finally won and won the championship for the first time. It was in 2005.
The game against the Suns on January 13th. When I first entered the league, I thought I could do anything. Later, the superstars in the league told me with facts time and time again that I was just a rookie. When I was confused and confused
, the head coach said something to me, but I didn’t dare in the beginning of the game, I was still a coward. In the end, I finally put down all the burdens and worked hard to do what Paul said, and I really did it. From that day on
Only then did I truly find my place in this league." - "My Flying History", the autobiography of Josh Smith.
…………
Although the Magic gave the Suns two blockbusters in the opening game, the Suns, after all, had many big names and were well-informed and quickly regained the score.
McGrady once again started his personal singles mode, and suddenly found the feeling of shooting. Marion's defense was completely useless, and he pulled up in front of him from the left wing twice in a row, and both of them went in.
Marion looked down at the floor where McGrady had just shot. He walked over and stepped on it twice. Then he felt annoyed and crushed it hard. The soles of his shoes rubbed against the floor and made a harsh "squeaking" sound, as if he had stepped on it.
It's not the floor but McGrady himself.
Of course, no one noticed Marion's series of small moves, everyone's attention was focused on the game.
In the first quarter, the main players of the two teams fought fiercely. Although Josh had a dunk at the beginning, he was shrouded in the shadow of Stoudemire. Except for fast break dunks, there was no position battle.
Stoudemire won the head-on confrontation.
29-28, the home Suns lead by one point.
But after entering the second quarter, the Magic's substitutes began to show their strength.
Maybe Diaw's personal aura is indeed consistent with Phoenix's underground magnetic field. In the second quarter, he made whatever shots he wanted. He made 3 mid-range shots and 3 3-pointers, and also scored 2 free throws steadily. Especially in the half.
At the end, he casually took the ball from his three-point line and threw it towards the Suns' basket. The brown-red basketball was like a fireball launched by a medieval trebuchet, flying across more than half of the court and hitting the basket hard.
, then bounced off the backboard and fell into the basket, scoring his 17th point in a single quarter.
In fact, when the ball was released, Diaw didn't even point it in. After throwing it, he turned around and walked back to the locker room. As a result, he heard the cheers of the audience as soon as he took two or two steps, and then the bench
His teammates rushed over and punched and kicked him. When he asked, he found out that the goal had been scored. He was also very excited, raising his hands high and high-fiving his teammates.
"Wow~ what did we see? This ball actually went in, hahaha, I don't even know what to say." Barkley and Kenny Smith in the commentary box were also amazed by this lucky ball.
With Diaw's extraordinary performance, 55-62, the Magic overtook the score and beat the Suns by 8 points in a single quarter.
The go-ahead score, the buzzer beater at halftime, everything was moving in the Magic's favor, but no one expected that an accident would happen right at the beginning of the third quarter, completely reversing the situation of the game.
After the start of the third quarter, Howard returned to the court, cooperating with Varejao, Diaw, Hill and Nash.
The Suns are also half main force and half substitute. Howard played very well in this game because Hunter, who is opposite him, is really a mediocre player. In addition to his outstanding height, his strength and speed are not superior to Howard.
, the skills are also half a pound to half a pound, both of them are in the barbaric stage.
But Howard relied on his excellent physical fitness to frequently grab rebounds and score directly over Hunter...
This time, Nash, Diaw, and Hill played a three-man crossover similar to Princeton's moves on the strong side, making the Suns' defensive players spin around, and then Nash got the opportunity to take a shot from the outside.
But the interspersed movement just now was so exciting that Nash couldn't help but make an extra half circle. As a result, when he took the shot, his feet were already a little floating, and the opportunity was wasted.
The ball hit the neck of the basket directly and bounced out.
Hunter faced the basket, striding forward with his arms outstretched, waiting for the ball to drop a little lower before grabbing the ball.
He thought well, but suddenly he was hit hard on his right side, and then he felt a gust of wind blowing from the right side. He looked sideways and saw a white figure leaping high from his side.
In fact, when Nash took the shot, Howard suddenly felt that the ball was useless. However, in order to avoid three seconds, he pulled out of the paint area and is now in a relatively deep position. For ordinary people, it is very uncomfortable to grab rebounds in this position.
Easy, because you are stuck outside and not in the two areas where rebounding is easiest.
But is Howard an ordinary person? Maybe you would say that he is not an ordinary person. Wrong, absolutely wrong, he is not a human being at all.
This position just gave Howard room to sprint. When he saw that Nash's ball had indeed missed, he pushed hard with his right foot, rushed forward, and rushed directly to the basket. Before colliding with Hunter, he jumped high
's leap.
Howard jumped very high, chanting, "Hello, spectators on the second floor," then grabbed the basketball with both hands in the air and pressed it down, resulting in a clean dunk.
Because the force of rushing forward is very strong, Howard did not land directly after dunking. Instead, he grabbed the basket and made a protective movement.
Howard hung on the basket, and due to inertia, he did a standard pendulum swing. When he swung behind the backboard, it was fine, but when he swung back, something happened.
Everyone still remembers that Hunter was still riding horseback with Na.
Howard came back and hit him in the chest with his foot. But this was nothing. First: everyone was working in the paint, and they were all covered in lumps and bruises as they had practiced the martial arts of the Thirteen Taibos. Second: Howard didn't show any signs of it.
The force is purely due to the inertia of the collision.
But Hunter felt something sweet in his throat, and it turned out that he had swallowed the gum.
Originally, Howard had been jumping up and down with himself in the first half. One moment he took a rebound off his head, another moment he dunked directly, and now he was so scared that he swallowed all his chewing gum. As the saying goes, "What can I bear?
What is intolerable?"
Hunter was also willing to go all out, with evil in his heart and courage from both sides, and he kept doing nothing. When Howard was falling, he gave him a gentle push on the back.
Howard was letting go of the basket and his body was in a state of free fall. When Hunter pushed him like this, he immediately lost his balance. After landing, he bent over and stumbled forward three steps before he regained his balance.
Howard is 19 years old. He is young and energetic. He doesn't like anyone at all. Not to mention that you Hunter cheated on me so much that he almost made me fall down and embarrassed me in front of everyone. He was also very angry after he stood up.
, his eyes widened, he turned towards Hunter and struck out with the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms, right on Hunter's chest.
Hunter knew something was wrong as soon as he saw Howard's posture, but he didn't expect Howard to take action so quickly. He was completely unprepared. After being pushed like this, he took three steps back in a row, and then fell to the ground.
On the ground.
Some readers may say that this is unscientific. With the flexibility of an NBA athlete's body, it is rare for someone to take so many steps back and still fall when pushed from the front unless they fall directly.
Indeed, under normal circumstances, Hunter would have stopped and stabilized after taking two steps back. But he was also unlucky, and he ran straight towards Varejao...
When Varejao saw Hunter leaning over, he was not his teammate, so of course he couldn't help him kindly, so he turned his body to the side and made way for him to retreat.
But Varejao is bad, please be careful. I am talking about the upper body side. His upper body gave way, but he made a hook with the sole of his foot.
"Bang!" Hunter fell to the ground and fell onto his back on all fours.
Hunter was not a good person either. He had a rough look on his face. After falling to the ground, he stood up directly with his back and rushed towards Varejao.
Howard here originally pushed him, but after seeing him fall, his anger subsided. But when Hunter got up and ran to Varejao, the fire suddenly came up again, and he also rushed towards Hunter.
come over.
But fortunately, the other players of the Magic and Suns were relatively sensible. In addition, the movements of both sides were not particularly big. They felt that it was not worth fighting, so they quickly separated the three players.
But when the referee saw that this was not going to work, he came over and blew the whistle on Hunter and went out directly. Then he also blew the whistle on Howard and Varejao, and they went out the same way.
Howard originally pushed someone, his action was so big, and it was inevitable that he would be ejected, so he didn't say anything, turned around and walked to the tunnel with a drooped face. But Varejao looked at it with an innocent face.
Referee, "why?" He felt that it was unfair to eject him. It was Hunter who wanted to attack him, so why did he get ejected?
The referee looked at him with contempt, and then made a hooking movement.
Varejao said nothing now and followed Howard off the field. Edison knew something was wrong as soon as the referee blew the whistle. When he saw the two of them being sent off, he followed Howard and the others to the tunnel.
This is Phoenix. Your Magic players dare to push my Suns players here. Although you didn’t wag your fingers at my Tracy McGrady, the fans at the scene couldn’t bear it. First there were boos all over the place, and then they walked towards the tunnel.
Howard and Varejao threw things, but nothing particularly offensive. They were just towels, handkerchiefs, popcorn, plastic bottles and the like.
Howard was angry at first, and now you are here, but fortunately he understands that he can't fight with the fans and can only vent his anger on himself. It's good that he saw a fire hydrant. When Edison saw it, he quickly said to him, "Don't be impulsive.
, I’d better leave this thing to Stoudemire.”
Howard didn't understand what Edison meant, but he also knew that he was doing it for his own good, so he didn't take any action. However, he took off his wrist guard and threw it to the ground. With a "swish", the wrist guard fell.
I know I have flown to that dimension.
Naturally, Edison couldn't keep following the two of them. When he saw that the two of them were no longer so angry, he probably wouldn't cause any big trouble anymore. He immediately told Thibodeau to keep an eye on them and quickly returned to the arena.
Because of an accident on the court, the referee called a timeout, so the game had not started when Edison returned to the court. All the Magic players looked at Edison on the bench. Edison frowned and tapped his temple, thinking for a moment.
Let Wallace and Josh prepare to play. Josh will play center and Wallace will play power forward.

This book is the first book I wrote. I originally wrote it to fulfill a dream of mine. I always wanted to write a book when I was in college, but I was too playful at the time and didn’t write it. Now I feel that I can’t put it off any longer.
I have to go down, otherwise I will have no chance at all after getting married, so I started writing this book.
I read a review of the book and someone said what it will be like after it is put on the shelves. It’s really hard to say. The rules the editor gave me said that I need to collect 8,000 words before it can be put on the shelves. Now it’s only 3,000, which is a big difference. And according to my original idea, I wanted to write 1 million words, and now I have half of it.
.
So I simply stopped thinking about those messy things and just told my own story to entertain myself and the people who read this book. This is also good.
My own children are always good, so in fact, I really hope someone can tell me in a book review what is wrong with my writing, so that I can make progress.
