On the big screen in the center of the Amway Arena, the starting lineup of the Spurs was played, center Nesterovich, power forward Duncan, small forward Bruce Bowen, shooting guard Michael Finley, point guard Tony Parker, and the Magic. On the side are center Tony Barty, power forward Dwight Howard, small forward Hedo Turkoglu, shooting guard Stevenson, and point guard Jamal Nelson.

The jump ball was spread between Nesterovic and Dwight Howard. Although he was two centimeters taller than Howard, Howard's bounce was [-] centimeters higher than Nesterovic's. The result of the jump ball was natural. However, the ball fell into the hands of Turkoglu, and Turkoglu immediately made a long pass to Nelson. Nelson made a shot without waiting for Howard and others to get in position. Howard jumped up and caught the ball in a hurry. Then it was re-handed to Turkoglu, Turkoglu passed to Stevenson, Stevenson passed to Nelson, then Nelson made another jumper, still missed, and then the rebound was firmly held by Howard again Caught in hand.

Stephen was very happy watching from below, this Nelson is so funny, there is no sign of a shot, Stephen thought he had encountered another Iverson, no wonder Howard averaged so many rebounds per game, that's how it is, Nelson is so nonsensical A jumper like that, even if the number of rebounds is not high.

Moreover, the Magic didn't seem to have the awareness of grabbing rebounds. Letting Howard grab rebounds alone, he probably felt that he didn't need to worry about rebounds with Howard around. , Prepare for a face-to-face attack.

Dwight Howard initially played the guard position, but later he grew taller and then moved to the inside, so his dribbling skills are very good, and his attacking ability is also very strong, but his low-post offensive skills such as hooks and backs at the basket are a bit lacking. .

Facing Duncan's defense, Howard didn't even make two fake moves to shake Duncan away, so he had to shoot from a long distance from the basket, but this is not his good shooting range, compared with Nowitzki and the others. , Howard did not have the ability to shoot in the middle, so the ball missed the basket. Since the only rebounder of the Magic stood outside, the ball was easily accepted by Nesterovic.

After Tony Parker got the ball, he handed the ball to Duncan inside, but Duncan tried two times and found that there was no chance, so he passed the ball back, and Parker handed it to Michael Finley on the other side. It's the Spurs' offensive routine all the time. Duncan has no chance to let Ginobili. Parker is only the third choice of offense. But Michael Finley has just entered the starting lineup, but he doesn't have such a strong desire to shoot, so he passes it back. Tony Parker, Tony Parker felt the difference. When Ginobili was around, Ginobili had the right to organize the ball on the outside. Parker was just a breakthrough player, but now he has become an organizer. , making it difficult for Parker to adapt for a while.

However, Parker reacted quickly, as he usually did, and rushed towards Nelson. Nelson was short and weak, and Tony Parker was most willing to bully this kind of opponent. Sure enough, it seemed that he didn't feel any resistance , Tony Parker threw Nelson behind, Howard hurried over to help defend, Parker had already taken off and was about to make a shot, when he saw Howard's big hand stretched out above him, Parker retracted his hand, and handed the ball from Howard's side to Duncan passed, and Duncan settled the battle this round with a light layup.

Howard just ran to his own half, and Nelson came over with the ball. After dribbling for a while, Nelson didn't even look at other people's positions, and directly made a three-pointer from the outside. Seeing this, he hurriedly jumped up, grabbed the rebound, and threw it to Stevenson on the outside. As a result, Steven unceremoniously made a three-pointer, which still deviated from the basket, and the rebound was taken by Howard.

This game has just started, and Howard has got four rebounds, and they are all offensive rebounds. It seems that this game will continue to develop like this. Howard's rebounds may exceed [-]. While sympathizing with Howard, just after defending in the backcourt, he had to grab a rebound again when he came back. The ball was given to a teammate, but the teammate didn't cherish it at all.

But soon the Magic's outside players found the touch, Howard also lost the opportunity to brush the rebound, and he also lost the opportunity to shoot. In addition to playing some role on the defensive end, he almost disappeared on the offensive end. Fortunately, the coach of the Magic team called a timeout, and then rearranged the tactics. Howard was able to touch the ball every once in a while.

Sitting on the court, Stephen feels that Howard is quite miserable. Such a big champion is reduced to the blue collar of the entire team, and he can't even touch the ball. If you compare it with Yao Ming and Bogut, you will know Howard How miserable the mess is, it is clearly the cornerstone of the team. Yao Ming can at least guarantee his status in the team. Although there is still a small problem with the right to shoot, the team attaches great importance to Yao Ming. Comparable, at least the Rockets are willing to replace the entire team for Yao Ming. Although Bogut didn't play very well at the beginning of the Bucks, he was not used as a pure blue-collar player like Howard.

The two teams played again. The Magic team relied on the outside three-pointer to rain down like rain, but they played a game with the Spurs. The Spurs were fine in other aspects, but it was Turkoglu. Position, Bruce Bowen's defense is a bit difficult.

Turkoglu is a Turk, with a typical European player style, accurate shooting, comprehensive skills, and high basketball IQ, but I don’t know what’s going on. When they failed to integrate together, the Kings threw him to the Spurs. Under Popovich's training, Turkoglu gradually adapted to the NBA's style of play, and then he went to the Magic. It only took him one season. His own scoring average has increased to double digits, and he has become the distributor and organizer of the Magic's ball rights.

Although his three-pointer is not as sharp as Peja Stojakovic, he is [-] meters tall like Peja, and he also plays the small forward position. In this way, almost half of the league's opponents Every player suffers from height, and some power forwards are not even so tall. Bruce Bowen has a hard time coping with him.

Popovich knows him very well, but there is no good way. None of the outside players in the team has such a height. Bruce Bowen is still in his early two meters, Stephen is less than two meters. Not to mention Lunt Barry and Van Exel.

But after watching it for a while, Popovich couldn't bear it anymore. Turkoglu actually forced Bruce Bowen twice in a row. He has improved. Popovich really didn't expect that he would only be on the outside. Shooting shots and jump shots after breaking through, I didn't expect that after one season, I would even learn to play hard from the outside. Bruce Bowen is really at a disadvantage in terms of strength, but fortunately, I still have a pawn that is specially used to deal with This kind of power player.

Stephen only paid attention to Howard, and was a little confused after being called by the coach. He heard that he was defending Tekkolu, but Stephen didn't care. up the pitch.

Stephen had just entered the field and hadn't started to move yet, so he was slapped by Turkoglu once. Turkoglu knew that Stephen was very powerful and he was very tough in defense, so when he was about to break through again, Stephen Squeezing over very hard, Turkoglu immediately sat on the ground with a plop as if he had been slammed, holding the ball tightly in his hands.

The referee came over and gave Stephen a blocking foul. Stephen glanced at Turkoglu, how could such a big man fall down as soon as he hit it? He didn't look like a fragile bamboo body, but when Stephen suddenly saw When the strange look flashed across his eyes, he immediately knew that he had been fooled.

Stephen immediately put on a very nervous look, and kept sneaking eyes at the bench next to him, as if he was very worried about the foul just now, Turkoglu smiled suddenly, he used to stay in the Spurs Of course, he knows how strict Popovich is, but what he doesn't know is that Popovich treats him differently from Stephen. Stephen, who intends to train for a long time, just makes a little mistake on the court. Popovich I won't just replace Stephen. Losing money means gaining experience, which is a process that young players must go through.

Seeing Stephen's nervous look, Turkoglu was re-serving and trying to force Stephen. Stephen seemed to hesitate for a moment, then stood firm and bravely met him. He immediately increased his strength, although he knew Stephen's strength It's very big, but looking at his body and shape, he always felt that the rumors were a bit exaggerated, so he pushed it with all his strength. He felt that Stephen had committed the foul just now, so he must not dare to use his utmost strength. This time he must Let him suffer again.

Who knew that Stephen had expected him to do this long ago. When Turkoglu was about to approach, Stephen suddenly dodged backwards, dodging Turkoglu's strong grab. Turkoglu never thought that Stephen would let him go directly. Open, all the strength in his body suddenly fell to the empty space, his figure suddenly staggered, and he almost fell to the ground. Stephen reached out from the side and took the ball out of his hand, and threw it directly to Tony Parker. Following closely behind Parker, except for Nelson who could keep up with the speed of these two, the Magic team left behind. Faced with this two-on-one situation, Nelson wanted to guard against this and that. , As a result, no one could guard against it. When Tony Parker came to the basket, he suddenly threw the ball into the air, and Stephen immediately jumped into the air and dunked the ball into the basket.

After learning this lesson, Turkoglu became more careful, and never dared to play this kind of mind in front of Stephen again. However, due to his height advantage, Stephen couldn't impose much restrictions on him when shooting outside. But compared to Bruce Bowen being raped repeatedly, it is much better.

However, through this point, Popovich found out, if facing the kind of power forward floating on the outside, can Stephen be allowed to defend? Since Stephen has so many advantages, should he increase his playing time, or Just put him in the starting lineup.
