My template is really center

Chapter 350 Dwight Howard was stunned by the Eagles center four!
And compared to Yao Ming's excellent physical recovery speed and various offensive methods, Kendrick Perkins is a player with high consumption and slow recovery!

After all, this season's O'Neal will bottom out in this quarter in a one-on-one high-intensity confrontation with Dwight Howard, and it will take a period of recovery and rest.

What's more, his own strength is not as good as this year's O'Neill, and his physical recovery is not as good as O'Neill's Kendrick Perkins!

So, after a one-on-one high-intensity confrontation with Dwight Howard for more than four minutes.

Kendrick Perkins needs to rest for at least ten minutes before he can slowly recover!
And now Marc Gasol was in a foul crisis by Dwight Howard, and Perkins had to be substituted because of physical problems.

There are only two veterans in the center players that the Eagles can choose!
The center that Mike Woodson chose to match the Eagles' starting lineup is Uncle Mu who may retire directly after the end of this season.

As for the reason why Mike Woodson chose Uncle Mu instead of Theo Ratliff is also very simple.

On the one hand, Uncle Mu is a player who has not experienced major injuries after all, although there are problems with physical fitness, physical reaction speed, and dynamic talent due to age issues.

But in terms of static talent, game experience, especially rebounding game experience, it is obviously stronger than Theo Ratliff.

On the other hand, the current Dwight Howard has just been suffocated because of Kendrick Perkins, and he needs Uncle Mu, a veteran who is in better physical condition and has more game experience, to give him a good fight. lesson.

Sure enough, Uncle Mu, who was replaced, did not disappoint Mike Woodson's trust.

With full physical fitness, Uncle Mo not only taught Dwight Howard a good lesson, even in terms of game performance, Uncle Mu suppressed Dwight Howard a little bit!

The Eagles were attacking, and Xu Lang passed Darko Milicic's pick-and-roll pass, one step inside the free throw line, and got a good shot.

Then, Xu Lang caught the ball and made an emergency stop jump shot.

It's just that Xu Lang shot the ball a little too hard, causing the basketball to hit the back edge of the basket and bounce out.

So far, it seems that Dwight Howard and Uncle Mu have nothing to do with this attack and defense!

However, the subsequent rebound scramble was Uncle Mu's performance moment!
Dwight Howard, who judged in advance that there might be a rebound scramble for this ball, immediately planned to rely on his excellent sense of rebounding, as well as his strong physical fitness and physical confrontation ability, just like facing Marc Gasol.

He directly suppressed Uncle Mu with one hand and easily accepted the rebound.

But obviously, Uncle Mu is not Marc Gasol, as a top rebounder who has also averaged 13 rebounds per game for several consecutive seasons, and even averaged more than 14 rebounds per game for two consecutive seasons.

Uncle Mu's rebounding experience is completely capable of crushing Dwight Howard.

So when Dwight Howard kept adjusting his position, trying to get stuck with Uncle Mu and easily receive the rebound.

Uncle Mu has stood one step ahead of Dwight Howard in a powerful rebounding position, and through static physical confrontation, the perfect reverse blocked Dwight Howard's various moves.

If Huoad relied on his physical talent, superior bounce speed and jumping ability, he took the rebound from Uncle Mu's head.

Uncle Mu at this age may not have much to do.

But in this case of rebounding sense, card position experience, and static talent, Uncle Mu should not be too easy to handle Dwight Howard!

And Uncle Mu, who completely caught Dwight Howard receiving the rebound, hasn't finished his performance yet.

It can be seen that Uncle Mu, who got the basketball, just took advantage of the light step forward and lowered his hands to lay up, and was about to be stuck in an extremely uncomfortable way. Huo Huade, who was eager to get back to the court, flew up.

Then, after Uncle Mu made an understatement to collect the ball, he leaned directly on the flying Dwight Howard and hit the board with a stepping small throw, ending this offensive and defensive battle for rebounds!

Although this game was at the home court of the Magic and Dwight Howard was also the star of the Magic, the referee blew his whistle without hesitation for such an obvious foul.

Uncle Mu, who stood on the free throw line, adjusted his shooting posture and easily made the extra free throw.

After all, compared to Dwight Howard's free throw shooting rate of around 50% all year round, Uncle Mu's free throw shooting rate so far in his career has always been above 70%.

It's just the same sentence, Uncle Mu is old after all, and has reached the stage where he may retire at any time.

So after relying on experience to barely block Dwight Howard for a few minutes, Uncle Mu's physical fitness also began to be a little insufficient, and he had to be replaced.

But this is not the end. As one of the few teams in the playoffs that will bring four centers, the Eagles' lineup at the center position is still very thick.

After all, the quality is not enough, let the quantity come together!

Besides, although none of the four centers of the Eagles has reached the All-Star level.

But the strength of each is not bad, even the worst Theo Ratliff still has an overall strength rating of 81 and a defensive attribute value of 87.

So, after Uncle Mu left the court, Theo Ratliff, who was also physically fit and defensively tough, started to torture Dwight Howard again!

Unlike Uncle Mu's skillful defense, Theo Ratliff's tough and brutal defensive style in the 90s gave Dwight Howard a completely different confrontation experience.

Tough physical confrontation and proper defensive positioning made it very uncomfortable for Dwight Howard to face Theo Ratliff.

And when Theo Ratliff also started to play and began to bottom out, the halftime game was over.

Dwight Howard, who played the entire first half of the game, was panting as he watched the Hawks' four center players with completely different styles.

Suddenly, I regretted that when the second quarter came up, Marc Gasol was in a foul crisis and was replaced.

After all, when facing Marc Gasol, Dwight Howard had a headache for Marc Gasol's passing ability and mid-range and long-range shooting ability.

But on the offensive end, it is difficult for Marc Gasol to limit Dwight Howard, who is flying into the sky and escaping from the ground. Dwight Howard can also give full play to his physical advantages and rebounding advantages.

And when he met the other three center players of the Eagles, Dwight Howard suddenly found that his advantages in offense and rebounding were not only not brought into play, but were even faintly suppressed.

Especially when facing Uncle Mu, Dwight Howard even felt that in less than 4 minutes, he seemed to be matched by a veteran center who was about to retire.

During the period when Uncle Mu was on the court, Dwight Howard's overall offensive efficiency was less than 50%.

What's more deadly is that in the first two games, Dwight Howard's ability to grab the rebounds inside the Eagles was not reflected at all in less than 4 minutes.

Although Uncle Mu didn't perform much on the offensive end after he came on the court, and he couldn't achieve the tactical system that drove the Eagles like Marc Gasol.

But as a veteran, as a basic salary substitute for the Eagles.

Being able to barely pair up with Dwight Howard, the absolute core of the Magic, made it impossible for Dwight Howard to play his due role on the offensive end, which already made Mike Woodson feel happy.

At the same time, with Dwight Howard misfired on the offensive end, the Eagles also gradually expanded their lead in the second half of the second quarter.

At the end of the halftime game, the Eagles entered the second half with a five-point lead.

There is no doubt that Dwight Howard, who played at the beginning of the third quarter, has already made plans to not rest in this game!

I just waited until Dwight Howard came on the court and watched the Hawks put up a three-center lineup of Kendrick Perkins, Darko Milicic, and Marc Gasol, and shouted inwardly.

"What are you doing~~~!"

Kendrick Perkins, Marc Gasol, Darko Milicic looked for a chance to cut, and Dwight Howard spent the entire third quarter of the game feeling a wave of O'Fat's treatment at his peak .

And because the Eagles played three centers, the entire three-second zone was completely blocked.

This also makes it difficult for Dwight Howard to exert his physical dexterity and extremely superior ability to punch frames!

Of course, when Dwight Howard was surrounded by three insiders, it also gave the Magic's outside shooters some respite.

After all, adding one more center means that the Eagles have one less player who can expand to defend the three-pointer.

Fortunately, Xu Lang himself has an extremely strong defensive ability, which can barely cover most of the defensive interference from the three-point line.

Coupled with the feel of the Magic's pitchers in this game, it can only be regarded as normal, neither good nor bad.

Therefore, although the strength of the Eagles' perimeter defense has declined.

But the Magic's shooting percentage outside the three-point line and offensive firepower have not increased much.

In addition, under the encirclement of the three inside lanes, Dwight Howard's rebounding ability against the sky has also been greatly restricted.

This further reduced the ability of the Magic's outside shooters to continue their firepower a lot.

Therefore, overall in the third quarter, the Eagles are still in a state where the Eagles continue to widen the gap between the two teams.

Of course, Dwight Howard didn't do nothing in the face of the encirclement of the three center players.

For example, it caused Kendrick Perkins to foul three times. For example, he played Uncle Mu and Theo Ratliff so that he might not be able to play in the fourth quarter!

Of course, judging from the fact that the Eagles have achieved a 13-point lead at the end of the three quarters, there is basically no need for Uncle Mu and Theo Ratliff to play in the fourth quarter.

Similarly, judging from the performance of Dwight Howard in the second and third quarters of the Eagles' four-hero battle, Dwight Howard's personal strength is still worthy of recognition.

"Charles, I think Dwight Howard's performance in the past three games should be worth taking back what you said before. Dwight Howard couldn't be a star 20 years ago."

"No, no, no! I still say that, I admit that Dwight Howard's defensive talent, rebounding talent and physical talent are all at the top level of the league.

But there is not enough offensive ability, especially when facing top inside players, players who do not have personal offensive skills.

It was very difficult to become a star in the era when all kinds of talented insiders flourished 20 years ago!

And in this game, Dwight Howard was so embarrassing by two veterans, which is the best proof. I think if it is O'Neal in the past and Yao Ming this season, it is impossible to be restricted by the two veterans of the Eagles of. "

"As for this season, and the three games in this series, Dwight Howard seems to be doing pretty well.

I think, on the one hand, Dwight Howard's physical talent is good enough, but I think it's more due to the withering of high-quality center players in the league and various rule changes that are not conducive to heavy tank centers. of. "

Obviously, Dwight Howard still has a long way to go if he wants to conquer this group of veteran inside stars in the league with his own game performance.

Of course, it is meaningless to say these things now. The Magic, which has trailed by 15 points in three quarters, will probably lose this game.

And in the fourth quarter, Dwight Howard, who has been playing for three consecutive quarters without a break, began to decline in physical fitness, and his footsteps began to lose his agility. It's hard to be as strong as the first two games.

The Magic started to play harder and harder!
Of course, on a certain level, this may also be a good thing for Dwight Howard, a young player who is high-spirited this season and intends to become the number one center in the Eastern Conference.

After all, only after experiencing such a high-intensity match and various difficulties can Dwight Howard break through the predicament of a blue-collar center and further grow into a true super giant player.

Of course, this game was dead, and in the 4th minute of the fourth quarter, the Eagles extended their lead to 20 points.

The Magic had to choose to give up this game again.

At the end of the whole game, the Eagles won the game with a 23-point lead, and at the same time pulled their big score to 2:1.

There is no doubt that although the player with the best data performance and game performance of the Eagles in this game is Xu Lang who scored 34 points, 31 rebounds and 6 assists in 13 minutes of playing alone. .

However, in the end, the players who helped the Eagles win this crucial game and won the game with a crushing score were the four center forwards of the Eagles.

If there were no restrictions on Dwight Howard by the center four, it would be impossible to win this game so easily.

In this game, under the siege of the Eagles' center four, they played a total of 40 minutes and only scored 18 points and [-] rebounds.

The total shooting percentage is only 48.7%, and the free throw percentage is only 49.6%. Dwight Howard.

It was also his worst performance in this round of the series, or since he entered the playoffs!

At the same time, after the Eagles killed the Magic again in this game.

The major sports media around the world who originally wanted to get another wave of traffic in this game.

He could only change the announcement overnight and become a fan of the Eagles and Xu Lang again.

That's right, although many people can see that the four center forwards of the Eagles contributed to this game, but not many people recognize the strength of the Eagles' inside players.

Many people are even waiting. When the Eagles meet the Celtics with a stronger inside and the Rockets who may enter the finals, they will once again publicize the weak nature of the Eagles inside. of!

Of course, for the Eagles, the game still needs to continue, and it is impossible to give up the game because of insufficient internal strength.

And just the day before the fourth game of the series between the Eagles and the Magic, a sad news that shocked the world reached the United States.
