As the referee blew the whistle at the beginning of the game, Howard, the Warcraft, was standing in the middle circle and planned to jump the ball with the big shark O'Neal.

This scene fell into the eyes of the commentator on the scene, which made Mark Woodson feel that something was different.

"Before this game, many fans made a special trip to see the match between Howard and O'Neal."

"But when these two people were standing in the middle circle and preparing to jump the ball, this scene really made people feel sad."

"Even if you want to be famous in person, O'Neal is far higher than Howard so far, when these two people stand together at this moment, it really makes people sigh that the era that belongs to O'Neal has passed."

At this moment, when Howard and O'Neal stood in the middle circle and were preparing to jump the ball, one of the two was at the peak of their careers and the other was in their twilight years, forming a very sharp contrast.

Compared to Howard's muscle mass, the big shark O'Neal is now fat and looks more like a fat man who has gained weight.

It can be said that when the two people stand together, the fans will not doubt who can win the ball this time.

As the referee threw the ball high into the sky, Howard jumped up instantly and directly pushed the basketball to the back of the court.

But when Howard landed, he realized that O'Neal did not take off at all in this midfield competition.

Because O'Neal, who is 37 years old this year, knows very well that even if he gets a piece of shit, he will never be able to jump over Howard.

So even though he had already known the result, O'Neal didn't spend any time, and he didn't get the final goal, and he was embarrassed to play.

Faced with this scene, as Howard took the lead in getting the ball after the opening, the entire Orlando fans fell into a carnival in an instant.

Even though Howard's jump to the top was an elderly shark whose teeth could not bite his prey, when Howard was able to act like a mighty man on O'Neal's head, it still made the fans on the scene feel comfortable.

Although in a sense, this can be considered a pathological psychology, for these fans, what they want to see is that their team can do everything.

I'm afraid there will even be some fantasy that if Michael Jordan returns now, then Su Jiu can definitely beat Jordan to the ground in one-on-one.

As Howard took the lead in getting the ball for the team, Su Jiu slowly advanced to the half after receiving the basketball.

And at the same time, O'Neal and Howard, who were moving to the whole audience, were talking and laughing, and it seemed that they were making fun of the jump just now.

After all, Howard and O'Neal's personalities can be called a living treasure, so when these two people are together, there are really too many common topics.

The most important thing is that this is just a preseason game after all, so for the two, it is basically just a formality.

By the way, I will try to get some tactics with the team. As for on the court, there is no need to do my best.

After spending halftime with the ball, he stood on the court again after several months, and his opponent was the same familiar Cavaliers. This scene made Su Jiu feel a little dazed.

Among them, since Tkoglu was poached by the Raptors in this offseason, this means that Su Jiu may play a large number of ball-holding and offensive roles in the new season.

Even during this offseason, Stan Van Gundy has always wanted Vince Carter to play the role of Tkoglu, so that Su Jiu can make a difference on the ball.

After all, as an experienced stadium veteran, although Carter is not a pure passer on the court, he can still play the role of this shot emitter with his selfless spirit on the court.

But after nearly a month of running-in during the offseason, although Carter is already competent for this role.

However, if compared with the combination of Tkoglu and Sujiu, Carter's shot speed will indeed be a little slower.

You know, if you only talk about passing ability, then Tkoglu must be above Vince Carter.

In addition, Carter and Su Jiu have never cooperated on the real field before, so for this, the two must have a long-term running-in in the real game.

Instead of being able to reach that seamless state without the team's training.

After all, even Tekoglu and Su Jiu had gone through a whole season of running-in before they could give everyone a wonderful cooperation between the two on the finals stage.

Standing at the high position with the ball, Su Jiu looked around and found that the Cavaliers were guarding a two-three-way joint defense, and O'Neal was completely at the low post, with no intention of coming out.

Seeing this formation on the Cavaliers' defensive end, Su Jiu immediately understood Mike Brown's intention.

That is, to use the joint defense to try to put O'Neal in the penalty area, so as to avoid being transferred from the penalty area by Su Jiu and Howard.

After all, the pick-and-roll connection between Su Jiu and Howard was a major means for the Magic's offensive end last season.

So at this point, Mike Brown, who had already suffered a loss, defended the second and third-tier defense at the beginning.

I believe that in this game, Mike Brown will set up a double tower lineup, just to maximize the ability of the second and third joint defense to protect the penalty area.

This will avoid the Magic's more chances of attacking the basket and Howard's powerful performance at the basket.

But after a whole season of baptism, and Su Jiu already had an excellent basketball philosophy, so when he saw the Cavaliers guarding a two-three-way joint defense, Su Jiu subconsciously focused on the outside.

In the NBA, joint defense can be said to be a very popular tactic, because joint defense can often make up for the shortcomings of some players in their personal defensive ability and the flaws that are easily targeted on the defensive end.

However, joint defense is a very test of the players' position, which means it will test the cooperation between the back and forth movements.

And the biggest flaw in the second and third-tier joint defense is that it has weak defense ability on the outside.

It can be said that when Su Jiu held the ball at the high position in the middle, the Magic only needed to use a small pick-and-roll and delay to shoot a three-pointer at the 45-degree angle on both sides.

He used a gesture with the ball, and Su Jiu's gesture for Iverson and Carter, who had been in the league for many years, understood Su Jiu's intentions in an instant.

As Su Jiu gave the signal, Iverson came out on the right to catch Su Jiu's pass, and then changed from a no-ball mover to a starting point for holding the ball, and exchanged with Su Jiu and the others.

After all, compared to Su Jiu, Iverson's shooting ability on the off-ball side is not a matter of doing it.

So when the team wants to focus the offensive focus as much as possible on the outside, Su Jiu can be regarded as the core of this team.

After playing without the ball, Su Jiu started to cut downwards, but when he walked down to the three-second zone, he suddenly completed a retracement run upwards.

And at the same time, Vince Carter immediately made a pick-and-roll for Su Jiu. After the whole process, it could be called a smooth flow.

Using Carter's pick-and-roll and the adjustment of the position in the joint defense defense, Su Jiu rushed directly into the 45-degree angle position outside the three-point line on the right.

While Su Jiu successfully came out of the open position, Iverson also arrived at the first time and quickly transferred the ball to Su Jiu's hand.

Although Iverson is not an excellent passer, this kind of ball is simply a slight connotation for Iverson, who has been in the league for more than ten years.

After receiving Iverson's pass, the defensive player in front of Su Jiu had not yet returned to his position as soon as possible.

So after a little adjustment outside the three-point line, Su Jiuze completed the projection outside the three-point line with his hand!!!

"Swish~"

3:0

As the sound of basketball entering the net sounded, after a few months, Su Jiu finally hit an outside shot in the official basketball game again.

And this goal was also the first shot in this game, and the first goal was scored.

After Su Jiu made this three-pointer, although it was just an ordinary preseason game, the audience at the scene still felt a little excited.

Because from the current perspective, the Magic's overall chemistry seems to be very good, and Su Jiu's personal form in the new season is also perfect.

At least from the moment, the Magic seem to be on the right track and are fully capable of striving for consecutive championships in the new season.

The Cavaliers' offense, compared with the Cavaliers, the Magic still defends the one-man-to-man defensive tactics.

After all, Howard has excellent personal defense ability and his feet are also very fast, so under normal circumstances, Howard is not afraid of the pick-and-roll in the high position to pull him out of the three-second zone.

At the same time, Howard at his peak also had efficient ability to defend against small and large.

So under normal circumstances, as long as you don’t encounter inside lines like Oku and Murphy that can completely pull out of the three-point line to shoot, Howard’s point will definitely be a big nightmare for all teams with breakthroughs as the main focus.

Facing the Cavaliers' offense, the Magic are responsible for playing against LeBron James on the defensive end.

Because among all the players in the Magic team, there are probably only two players, Sean Marion and Little Little Little.

Among them, Little Little Little is too thin compared to James's personal impact, so if you really have the ability to limit James' performance, then there is definitely only Sean Marion.

Although Su Jiu has gained weight this season, he thinks he can play against LeBron James at a certain time, if Van Gundy doesn't ask for such a thing, then Su Jiu will never want to recommend himself.

After all, isn’t it good to be a salted fish on the field?

I also thought about taking the initiative to compete with James on the defensive end. If I could say this, how many kilograms of fake wine would he have to drink?!

When Marion defended LeBron James on the court, this means that Vince Carter was responsible for defending JJ Hickson, who was the fourth position.

Although Carter is only 1.98 meters tall, fortunately, Carter weighs more than 100 kilograms and is not much lighter than Hickson in weight.

In addition, Hickson will definitely not become the main offensive point of the Cavaliers, so in this case, Carter did not lose too many disadvantages in his personal misalignment with Hickson.

As LeBron James stood at a high position with the ball, when he saw that Marion was responsible for defending himself in front of him, James frowned slightly.

Then he asked JJ Hickson for a pick-and-roll on the offensive end, and as for why O'Neal, who was not the center, came to the pick-and-roll.

Because if O'Neal came to pick-and-roll, then this means that Howard, who faced O'Neal, would also come out to delay.

So as long as James has no problem with his brain, he definitely doesn't want to take the initiative to trouble Howard.

After all, this is really fucking terrible...

Using pick-and-roll, James has always wanted to use pick-and-roll to try to replace the defender with Carter, so as to facilitate some personal singles against Carter.

You should know that Marion's defensive ability is very versatile on the front line. Even Marion at this age can no longer completely lock James in one-on-one personal defense.

But playing Vince Carter on the offensive end will obviously be much higher than playing Marion.

So James has been trying to find a way on the offensive end to see if he can replace Vince Carter with his own defender through pick-and-roll.

However, facing James's idea, Stan Van Gundy obviously had expected it before the game.

Since Hickson has no shooting ability outside the three-point line at all, when Hickson comes to pick-and-roll for James, Marion and Carter on the defensive end will retreat backwards at the same time.

In order to keep up with James' breakthrough and switch defenses among these two people.

Because the entire league is basically aware of James' personal flaws during this period.

That is, James's outside shooting is not stable, and at least he is far from reaching the point where he can kill the game with just an outside shooting.
