Chapter 256 Howard: If I could do it again...

When it comes to jump balls between Howard and Dayao, the former naturally wins. Even if his explosive power is not as good as before due to injuries, Howard's bounce and explosion are still at the top level in the league. Moreover, Dayao is also affected by injuries and is basically on the court.

I don’t dance much anymore, I’m completely on the floor.

The Spurs had the ball. After Tony Parker dribbled the ball past half-court, he glanced at Wang Chao standing in front of him and without much thought, passed the ball directly to Duncan inside.

Duncan vs. Garnett has been one of the more interesting duels in the past decade or so, but now that the two 38-year-old veterans are facing each other, things have changed.

Duncan took advantage of his tonnage and strength, squeezed his back to the basket, turned around at a 45-degree angle and shot a shot, scoring the first goal.

2:0.

The Spurs took the lead, their only lead of the game.

Because as the Rockets got the ball, the Rockets were always in the lead in the subsequent games.

The Spurs have nothing to do against the Rockets' offense. Although they have the strongest interior defensive combination in the league, Howard + Duncan, their defensive strength on the outside is still seriously insufficient. After all, Leonard, the core player of the team's internal and external defense, went to the Rockets.

there.

The Rockets are exactly a team that focuses on outside shooting and plays small ball tactics and even magic ball tactics.

Garnett came on for a few minutes, showed his face briefly and then left the game, replaced by Middleton.

Wang Chaoding personally guards Duncan at the power forward position, which will not allow the opponent's offensive efficiency to skyrocket due to Garnett's dismissal. On the defensive end, Duncan has to frequently pull out perimeter defense. After all, the Rockets have four perimeter defenders.

As a shooter, if you don't guard, you will definitely be greeted by a hollow three-pointer.

All the Spurs players were forced to move to the outside, leaving only Dayao and Howard's solo inside.

As the saying goes, your uncle will always be your uncle.

Even though he can no longer run fast or jump, Dayao can still use his superb skills to beat Howard under the basket.

This is a crushing blow in terms of body, skills and IQ. If Howard was at his peak, he might be able to take advantage of the decline in Dayao's competitive form to take revenge, but now Howard's form is not much better and he can produce good statistics in the regular season.

The performance is entirely due to the Spurs' tactical system.

At this time, without the assistance of Duncan and other players, facing Dayao alone one-on-one, Howard once again transformed into the monster that Dayao manipulated at will, eating, sleeping and playing with.

Fortunately, Dayao is not as good as before. He was a little exhausted after just a few shots from Howard under the basket. Howard, who has been the three-time Defensive Player of the Year, was not too embarrassed. But Dayao's end did not make the Spurs

The team's unfavorable situation improved.

Replacing Dayao was Whiteside.

Howard looked at Whiteside, who was full of talent and seemed to have springs under his feet, and his eyes were full of shadows of his peak days.

Of course, Whiteside is neither capable nor qualified to compare with Howard in his prime, but compared to Howard in his twilight years, he at least has advantages in terms of mobility and positioning inside to grab rebounds.

The inside of the Spurs can't play the advantage, and there is no chance of the outside. Even if Ginobili on the bench appears, it is necessary to face the siege of Lenned and Bartler at the same time. There is no chance at all.

The Spurs played only once when they first kicked off, and then there was no chance to equalize the score or even overtake.

In the first game, the strength gap between the two teams was obvious. The Spurs were not the rocket's opponent at all. After all, the clever woman was difficult to cook without rice.

A few, in addition to Howard, only players such as GDP and Green, Dior, Mills and other character players.

But on the depth of the substitute lineup, there is no team in the league that can compare to the Rockets.

On the bench, the Rockets of Little Thomas, Chandler Parsons, Midelton, Mideld, and Gobber, the only thing that worried is to give a little more time for the appearance of whom.

Compared with the Rockets, the Spurs can say that there is no place for any position. In addition, they have no way to limit Wang Chao's performance. How can they win the game?

The Spurs who lost the Western Decision's first battle, followed by the second game in West on May 21, lost again, with a total score of 0: 2 behind.

Although the regular season lost 12 games than last season, since entering the playoffs, the Rockets have never lost the ball at home, and the first two rounds have only lost one game.

The return of Da Yao's injury has made the Rockets' strength extremely scary again, and the leader is far ahead of the league.

On May 25, after returning to the Spurs' home, San Antonio, the Spurs finally pulled back a city, relying on Howard and Duncan Twin Tower at the same time, one scored 28 points and 16 rebounds, one 24 points and 10 rebounds.

Not only the inside tower, the three -point shooter outside the Spurs also played the same power at the same time.

But even if such a super level play, the Spurs are just 112: 109 three -pointers win the Rockets.

The victory of this game did not make the Spurs' fans happy at all. They only felt desperate. The gap between the two teams was visible to the naked eye. Although the Rockets lost in this game, the Spurs could only be played under the level of super level.

In this way, you ca n’t expect the competition assassin game in the future.

Moreover, anyone who can see it with all the people can see that the Rockets did not do their best. It can be seen from the Rockets' conservative use of Dayao.

Da Yao, who returned from injury, was like a cherishing animal in the Rockets, strictly controlled the appearance time, and did not do any dirty work on the field.

In this game, in the face of the devil's home of the Spurs in the league, Da Yao played very shortly, only for about 18 minutes.

Nor did it appear.

This is enough to show that the Rockets do not pay attention to the victory or defeat of this game, or selectively put water, and choose a gentle blunt knife to kill.

This can also be understood that the Spurs are the old team of the league, and they are not very clean. Even if Bao Wen has retired, there are still such players who are dirty and tired.

If there is a thorn team 3: 0 in this game, no one can guarantee whether the other party will do any dangerous behavior.

Of course, Wang Chao is not afraid. He has a reinforced iron and bone talent. Unless he draws a knife on the opposite side, he stabs him with 21 knives, or the American -style residence will be performed at all.

After finally getting back the injury, Wang Chao didn't want Da Yao to be abolished again without playing in two games.

Although the Spurs have strong strength in Wang Chao, after all, they are not rivals. Moreover, the Rockets have already led 2: 0, and they can slow down a little rhythm to avoid unnecessary trouble.

Sure enough, although he lost to the Spurs in the third game, the fourth game of the West Decision Series on May 27th, the Rockets won again.

It is also the home battle, but the Spurs in this game have no playback games, as if the beasts who were forced to go to the road, the result was that Wang Chao led the team 107: 94 to win the game, rewriting the total score to 3 to 3

: 1.

3: 1 In the case of backwardness, there is no example in history that there are no examples of the next three cities reversed, but it is still too few, especially on the stage of Western Decision. Considering that the Spurs' old lineup and outer score ability

Lack, the probability of turning over is almost equal to zero.

Sure enough.

In the fifth game of West, the game was returned to the Rockets home.

At its own site, the Rockets showed the horrible offensive capabilities to the fullest. They scored 67 points in the half, and the team scoring the team was 95 points higher!

On the other hand, the Spurs are only 71 points in the three quarters, and 24 points behind.

The fourth quarter of the Spurs players such as Howard and Duncan are sitting on the bench to see the complete process.

After all, the score of 24 points, with the main position of Spurs, the team with a low offensive rhythm is almost completely impossible to catch up.

Howard sat on the bench, his eyes were slightly complicated.

Unconsciously, it has been two years away from the Magic team.

In the two seasons of two years, Howard won three consecutive championships from the first center of the league from the first center of the league.

Whether you go to the Lakers and Kobe to form a super F4 group, or come to the Spurs partner Duncan to form the top dual tower of the alliance, or at the beginning, Wang Chao led the team to lead the magic team alone. Several attempts ended in failure.

In the three consecutive championships of the Magic team, I thought it was just the beginning of a glory career. I did not expect it to be a heyday.

At this time, howard, from time to time, I still think of the days of fighting against Wang Chao that year, and I will also imagine it. If Wang Chao stayed in magic at the time, and he was willing to become Pippen around him, are they now they are?

Have you already launched an impact on the second three consecutive championship?

Unfortunately, if there is no thing, Howard made his choice, and Wang Chao also had his own plans. The three -game championship period of the Super Demon Combination was destined to be a past worthy of memory. That's it.

4: 1.

The Rockets defeated the Spurs at home, and the score of 4: 1 eliminated the Spurs officially entered the finals. This is also the third consecutive year that the Rockets reached the finals.

In the first year, because of the injury of Da Yao, the Rockets defeated in the finals. In the next year, the three giants of the three Green Army giants were won.

The finals 4: 0 swept the heat to report a revenge.

Now, in Wang Chao's third year with the Rockets, the Rockets have once again made it to the Finals, charging towards the defending champions. The one standing in front of them will most likely still be their old rivals, the Miami Heat.
