Chapter 764: Against the Magic
It was 7 pm on December 21, and the Magic also had many people at home. This season, due to the Magic's outstanding record and dazzling style of play. Although it was affected by the subprime mortgage crisis, many fans still came to support them and watch their game! The Magic's attendance rate is also ranked in the middle and upper level of the league!
In fact, overall, the NBA has been greatly impacted by this economic crisis. This impact is reflected in different levels. For example, big cities like Los Angeles and New York, their attendance rates are similar to those before, and the losses are only part of the sales of jerseys. Some are teams with better fan base, and their attendance rates are not large, such as the Spurs, Celtics, etc.! The other part is because the city's economic sources are rarely impacted, and the people there generally have good income. The attendance rates of these places are similar to those before, such as the Rockets, the Trail Blazers, the Nuggets, etc. The remaining places either have poor urban foundation or the team has no outstanding results!
The Magic team is a team with good foundation and good record in the city fans! The impact they received is still relatively small. He Yiming saw that the Magic team still has an attendance rate of about 7 floors today, which is already very good in today's league!
....................................................................................................................
No matter how the Magic's attendance rate is, the game between the two teams will still start! Today, the Magic's lineup is:
Point Guard: Jamill Nelson
Quantile: Michael Pitrus
Small forward: Xidu Tekoglu
Power forward: Rashad Lewis
Center: Dwight Howard
A typical lineup with a large and four small teams is also the regular main lineup of the Magic team. It is with this lineup that the Magic team squeezed into the top three positions in the East!
He Yiming and Howard stood in the middle circle to jump the ball. The referee glanced at the players on both sides and then picked up the whistle! He Yiming and Howard tightened their leg muscles!
After all, this is a monster, a guy with amazing bounces. I don’t know what training Howard did after the Olympics. He Yiming saw how Howard’s bounce was stronger than before, so He Yiming didn’t dare to take it lightly. On the other hand, Howard still remembers how He Yiming abused him in the Olympics. Since then, he didn’t dare to underestimate He Yiming. Moreover, he clearly remembers that He Yiming’s bounce was also very good, and he can be regarded as his opponent! Both of them showed all their strength, and this time the jumping ball was full of gunpowder!
"Dou!" Following the whistle, the ball was thrown high by the referee, and two huge figures rose up directly to the ground, competing for the basketball! The bodies of the two giants collided in the air, and Howard's face was a little wrong. He found that He Yiming's power was so great. He Yiming didn't care what Howard was thinking in his heart. After he had the upper hand in the confrontation, he directly stretched out his hands to try to get the racket away!
On this side, Howard was shocked when he saw He Yiming's movements. He didn't want He Yiming to take the racket away so easily. He saw that he was tightly tilted his teeth and pulled them up a little while stretching out his hands to slap the ball! But as soon as he stretched out, he discovered the problem! Why? Why didn't my hand reach his palm?
That's right, even if Howard wants to slap the ball, he has to consider whether he can take the racket from He Yiming's hand. You must know that He Yiming's height and he has a very amazing armband. Based on He Yiming's height, he actually gave him such a long arm span. Relatively speaking, Howard's height is short, and his arm span can only be considered average, but his bounce is amazing. He is not very outstanding in other things in the inside line at all! This is why after a great emperor was released, the media praised the emperor, but no one chased him, the monster! But later the emperor was injured and injured. It was obvious that it was not as outstanding as people expected, and people began to pursue Howard again!
He Yiming slapped his hand and took the racket away. Howard could only watch He Yiming slapped the racket into his own camp. He Yiming won this jump ball!
After Luke Walton moved quickly and controlled the ball, he passed the half-time slowly. The first ball was left to Kobe to play! Kobe faced the Magic's Michael Pitrus defense, He Yiming didn't need He Yiming to cover it. He first kept dribbling, and then broke through. Michael Pitrus followed Kobe to break through and stood next to Kobe without giving Kobe a chance, but Kobe didn't move his right foot and turned around, directly shook him with an unstable center of gravity. Kobe turned around and came back again. He missed Michael Pitrus. Then Kobe stopped and made a jump shot, and the ball hit directly!
Kobe played this ball very easily, which also caused the Magic's defense problem. Although their offense was very strong, they just made a bunch of three-pointers, their defense was really not very strong. At least when facing scorers like Kobe, they had no way to limit Kobe's score!
The offensive and defensive transition, after Kobe scored the first goal, the ball rights belong to the Magic! Magic point guard Jamill Nelson dribbled quickly through the half, Howard also ran quickly through the half, and the Magic's tactic was fast fighting! Unfortunately, the Lakers' tactic also had a fast attack move! Can the Magic still play the rhythm they wanted when they met the Lakers?
After Jamil Nelson passed the half, he had to make a breakthrough without waiting for his teammates. Facing Luke Walton's defense, Jamil Nelson shook and then blocked Luke Walton with his body to break into the inside. On the other side, Kobe came to make up for the defense. The two of them clamped Jamil Nelson and did not give him a chance to make a breakthrough. Jamil Nelson could only pass the ball!
The ball was given to Michael Pitrus on the other side. He seized the opportunity and jumped up directly, just a shot, ignoring Howard's request for the ball in the inside! Fortunately, the ball hit! 2:2!
