NBA Tyrant

"Coach, I've heard of a coach who is good at building defense!" Howard looked at the head coach with eager eyes.

"Oh, who is it?" Johnny

looked at Howard suspiciously, exuding a burning gaze, and couldn't help but doubt Howard's orientation, swallowing a mouthful of saliva with difficulty, and moving two steps to the side with some fear.

"Ahem! His name is Jeff Bouzdrick! A coach who is very defensive, we can ask him to be our head defensive coach.

Seeing the head coach's movements, Howard coughed dryly to hide his embarrassment.

In retrospect, it was 2004 and Howard didn't know where Buzdrick was, but what was certain was that he was definitely working as a basketball coach.

"Bzdrick, are you sure?" Johnny

looked at Howard with wide eyes.

"Ahh

"Why?"

"Let's go, go to my office and see the Nuggets we're going to play against on the No. 6! See if their head coach is the Bouzderrick you said!"

Johnny patted Howard on the back and walked to his office first.

Howard has a bad feeling that it is likely that Buzderrick is now the head coach of the Nuggets.

However, in my impression, the Nuggets seem to be coached by Coach George Karl in 04, and if it is now Bzdrick as the head coach, I think he will not be in charge of the Nuggets for too long, and it will be okay to dig it up when the time comes.

Sure enough, when Howard saw the name and photo of the head coach of the Nuggets from the head coach's computer, he sighed silently

, "It's him, it's a pity,"

Howard lowered his head weakly, but thinking that he should be fired soon, Howard still had some expectations in his heart, and his mind turned.

"By the way, head coach, check if there is any conflict between his current coaching with the Nuggets and Anthony or the Nuggets players

!" "Okay, I'll see!"

Johnny tapped quickly on the keyboard with both hands.

As you said, Bouzderrick

is a coach who values defense, but Anthony is obviously not a player who likes to defend, so there are many reports on the Internet that Bouzderrick is dissatisfied with Anthony's casual play and despises defense.

Including Anthony, in front of the local media in Denver, he also said that Bouzderrick likes to inexplicably accuse him of not being active defensively, but in fact he has done a good job.

That's right, it is estimated that before the season is over, Bouzderrick will be fired because of the conflict with Anthony. No wonder the Rockets in the Magic Ball era will not tolerate Anthony's joining, well, understood, understood

!] "It seems that the two have been in conflict for a long time, according to the conflict between the head coach and the superstar, the team will dismiss the practice of the head coach, haha! It is estimated that Bouzderrick is not far from being fired, although it is a bit disrespectful to the profession of Bouzderrick

and the head coach, but what I said is also the truth! We will invite him over when the time comes! We respect him and value the head coach! I have a lot of respect for you, Coach!" Seeing

that Johnny's face was a little wrong, Howard quickly made amends.

"Alright, I know you didn't mean to disrespect me, let's go! It's 9 o'clock, it's time to arrange tonight's tactical play!" Johnny

felt relieved when he heard Howard's reassuring words behind him, and slowly got up from his seat.

7:30 p.m., Amway Arena, Magic vs. Grizzlies.

The starting lineup sent by the Grizzlies: Point Guard: Earl Watson

Quarterback: Mike Miller

Small Forward: Bunch Wells

Power Forward: Pau Gasol

Center:

Casu The Grizzlies

also gave special care to the new center Casu, and promoted Cassu to the starting position, wanting Cassu to play in front of his old club.

It's a pity that the Grizzlies are facing the Magic, which is now the No. 1 team in the East, and there is a super gate of Howard on the inside.

At the same time, when the Magic team faces a team with a strong point of interior offense, they generally let Howard defend this strong point, even if the opponent is not a center.

So, tonight Howard switched to the power forward position again, specializing in defending Gasol.

Perhaps most fans have the impression that Gasol has a soft style of play, weak defense, and is blocked by various bouncing powers.

Especially after joining forces with Kobe Bryant, the fans affectionately gave Gasol the title of 'sister-in-law'.

However, Gasol's defense has never been slack, even if it will become a background board, he is still active and full of strength on the defensive end.

It's not like some players hide away when they see someone jumping up and about to dunk in order to not have a backdrop.

Moreover, Gasol not only has excellent offensive ability, but also his ability to respond to the court, share the ball, and appeal are very strong, and he is a very qualified auxiliary second-in-command.

Just like this game, even in the face of Howard's strong defense, Gasol played 40 minutes and made 8 of 17, still scoring 20 points, 6 rebounds, 4 assists, 1 steal and 2 blocks.

And Kasu, who was highly anticipated, showed a very struggle, and without the 'big cake' to eat, he had no inside single offensive ability at all.

Because of his poor performance, he only played 20 minutes in the third quarter, and was pressed to the bench in the fourth quarter.

The Grizzlies head coach was reluctant to give Casu any more playing time, and ended up with a dismal 2-of-8 shooting stats of 4 points and 4 rebounds.

On the other hand, on the Magic team's side, Battier, who is also a new signing, is under the cover of the manager's intentional tactical arrangement and the tacit understanding of his teammates.

Played as a starter throughout the game, in 37 minutes, 9 of 17, 5 of 9 three-pointers, and got 25 points, 6 rebounds and 1 steal.

At the Magic's home court, with 2 minutes left and the team leading by 15 points, Johnny arranged for him to take a break, and the fans in the stadium gave him a warm and long applause.

Howard, who also got off the break, gave Battier a heavy hug.

"What a beautiful show, you're going to be an indispensable hero for our Magic team!"

Howard played 34 minutes, 10-of-13, and easily scored 26 points, 14 rebounds, 8 assists, 1 steal and 4 blocks on the Grizzlies.

In the end, the Magic 106-91 Grizzlies won the game easily, and in the first week of December, they won a wave of three consecutive games for the team to get off to a perfect start.

After the game, the head coach of the Grizzlies, Fratero, faced an interview with reporters, and said to his chagrin that the Magic deceived them, causing them to lose important scorers and outside gates.

When Howard heard this, he and Johnny looked at each other and smiled.

You treat Battier as an ordinary stone, but we treat Battier as a priceless jade!]

At the post-game press conference, a reporter asked Howard.

"Howard, will you be confident that you can beat the Nuggets led by superstar Carmelo Anthony next?"

Howard raised his eyes slightly to look at the reporter, smiling and disdainful in his heart.

"

We are the first in the East, and now we are tied for first place in the league with the Suns, and the Magic are not afraid of any challenge!

"Anthony is just a scout! I'm the top pick! If you want to compare Cleveland's James to me! But in terms of team record and personal data, can they compare to me?".
