Chapter 1026 1025. Future No. 1 Center Candidate (Asking for Monthly Votes)

After the game, Dwight Howard hid in a corner of the Amway Arena and took out a small notebook to write down: I was bullied by the Hawks again today. Ace Liu, Jason Terry, Kwame Brown, Rasheed Wallace, Tracy McGrady... So many of these people are not good people. When I become the strongest player in the future, I will never be their teammates... Even if I am a teammate, I will not pick and roll with them!

…

93 points, it is the first time that the Hawks' score has not exceeded 100 this season. The Magic's defense is really good, the rhythm is slow, and the players are very motivated. Even Nelson's defensive attitude is impeccable, but he can't defend. DeShawn Stevens, Hill, Rahim, and Howard are all defensive masters. The Magic's overall defense is very good. After the Hawks scored 27 points in the first quarter, the Hawks did not score more than 25 points in the next three quarters.

But the Magic only scored 84 points!

Except for Rahim's 31 points, 16 rebounds and 3 assists, and Nelson's 13 points and 6 assists, no one else on the Magic scored in double digits!

Howard scored 8 points and 7 rebounds in the whole game.

Never give Howard a chance to score. If he really couldn't be stopped from attacking the basket, there was no way, but if he had a chance to foul when he didn't stop him from attacking the basket, Kwame Brown, Rasheed Wallace, Josh Smith and Mourning would never show mercy and send him to the free throw line.

4 out of 14 free throws, Howard caused 7 shooting fouls in this game, but only got 4 points. He only had 6 successful shots in the whole game, 2 out of 6 shots!

The Hawks scored 93 points. The highest scorer was not Liu Mang, McGrady or Jason Terry, but Kwame Brown!

Kwame Brown shot more than 20 times for the first time in his career. He played for 41 minutes, 15 out of 25 shots, and 6 out of 13 free throws. He became the absolute main attack point of the Hawks. The whole team served him and scored 36 points and 9 rebounds!

Liu Mang scored 25 points, 4 rebounds, 5 assists, 8 of 17 shots, 4 of 9 three-pointers, and 5 of 6 free throws. He was still so stable. McGrady scored 9 points and 7 assists. Iguodala and Josh Smith each had three assists, most of which were to feed Kwame Brown.

Kwame Brown almost vomited from eating so many free throws today.

In the end, the Hawks defeated the Magic with a score of 93 to 84, which was considered difficult!

Liu Mang felt that this game was like a game against the Heat. It was too tiring!

The main reason was that the Magic's defense was really amazing. It was too difficult to help Kwame Brown create scoring opportunities. Fortunately, the Hawks had good defense and maintained a lead of nearly 10 points, and they kept it steadily until the end.

Liu Mang really didn't know what to say about Kwame Brown's free throws. It was too bad!

He was only slightly better than Howard on the opposite side. It was really heartbreaking to see him shoot 6 out of 13 free throws. If he missed a few free throws, Kwame Brown really couldn't get 36 points. He shot 2 out of 8 free throws at the beginning, which looked even worse than Howard. Howard shot 3 out of 6 at the beginning, but Howard shot 4 out of 14 free throws at the end, which also made the Magic desperate.

The Magic relied on a much stronger defense than last season. It's not that they didn't have a chance to win, but their offense was too bad.

If Howard's free throws were more accurate, the Magic would have a chance to catch up in the end, but unfortunately he was so bad.

As for the reason why Magic's Brian Hill didn't use Tekoglu, Liu Mang also found it. Tekoglu and the current Magic team are not a good match. When he came on, the Magic couldn't even keep the fig leaf of defense.

But no matter what, the Hawks won and Liu Mang's mission was completed.

It's just that... Kwame Brown shot 6 out of 13, so he only got 36 points with a tip-in with two minutes left, and he almost didn't complete the mission.

Liu Mang only got 2000 superstar points.

Fortunately, this season's data Wei Ning, with almost 20+5+5 data and game wins, got more than 1900 superstar points, more than 3900 superstar points, which are catching up with the superstar points when he got 50+10.

This game is a little less, but a new series of tasks has been opened, plus the Celtics' hostility to the defending champions, and the winning streak task against the Bulls, there are still many opportunities to accumulate superstar points.

It's a good start, and Liu Mang is quite satisfied.

Watching Kwame Brown and his teammates dancing with Prince amid the boos of the fans at the scene after the game, Liu Mang ran away... to avoid being dragged to dance square dance together...

...

...

36 points and 9 rebounds, Kwame Brown set a new career high score.

Kwame Brown scored 36 points and Howard scored 8 points. The comparison of the two's data made people see the "gap" between the two high school top pick centers.

Howard had several times squeeze Kwame Brown or Mourning to grab rebounds, but Kwame Brown blocked his feet and made them slip on the floor, which made Howard famous.

In RealGM, a comprehensive basketball forum that has become popular in the United States in the past two years, someone specially made a GIF of Howard doing the "moonwalk", which completely showed the weakness of Howard's lower limbs to the fans who did not watch the game.

"Howard's legs... seem to be telling the opponent: Come and ravage my lower body!"

"The person above, how can you talk like that? Howard is paying tribute to the King of Pop! Look, these beautiful moonwalks are not something that ordinary people can do."

"Actually, it wasn't just against Brown. When Howard faced Yao Ming and O'Neal, it was even worse than this." Some netizens posted several more GIF pictures, which are some "classic" scenes of Howard facing O'Neal and Yao Ming.

"It's not just them, as long as they are good players, Howard didn't have an easy time last year. I thought he would improve this year, but the results were similar." Another netizen compared Howard to Kendrick Perkins and Nestero. A GIF of Vicky and others was posted.

"You have exposed all of Howard's weaknesses! How will Howard play in the future? He is my number one center in the future!"

"The number one center? Yao and O'Neal don't age that fast..."

"But they will always get older. Howard is not yet 20 years old. Apart from Brown, Stoudemire, and Milicic, there is no player in the NBA who can match Howard's talent. Last year's best rookie Okafor this year He played very poorly and had no chance to compete with Howard for the future No. 1 center. Stoudemire is not strictly a center. Brown is mainly responsible for defensive tasks in the Hawks, and offense is secondary. Milicic has a weak character. It’s also difficult to compete with Howard for the number one center.”

"What was said upstairs is correct. Although it is cruel, Howard is already the most powerful contender for the number one center in the future. For team honors, Howard may not be able to catch up with Brown, who has won two consecutive championships, but in terms of data and personal honors, I More optimistic about Howard.”

…

Netizens talked and talked, and the building tilted again, starting from Howard's lower body strength and talking about the topic of the No. 1 center.

However, the words of netizens are not in vain. Many team coaches are also paying attention to topics on the Internet and broadening their thinking.

There are also many netizens who really understand football, just like many head coaches who do not have a professional background. Sometimes netizens will give some good ideas to let the coach get some inspiration.

Just like the views of netizens, the head coaches of many teams, after Howard's rapid progress this season, also saw that Howard's future is unlimited, and his future is brighter than last season's best rookie Emeka Okafor. Too much.

The Magic's selection of big men is really nothing to say. They selected three No. 1 big men in O'Neal, Webber, and Howard, all of whom are extremely talented.

Howard's progress in his second year, coupled with the previous examples of O'Neal and Webb, many team coaches are certain that as long as he is not injured, Howard will definitely become a top three insider in the NBA one day.

The team's team building ideas and future plans are not just looking at the immediate future, but making long-term plans for the next three to five years. Fighting against Howard, who has grown up, has already entered the future plans of many teams.

But I was still waiting and watching before, and I hadn’t yet taken the specific step of how to defend Howard in the future. However, fans directly showed all of Howard’s poor performance when facing a center with certain mobility and strong defensive enthusiasm. come out.

Howard was inexplicably tricked by netizens...

For a time, the value of a stand-up center like Kendrick Perkins has increased slightly.

It depends on whether Howard can continue his explosive performance before playing the Hawks this season.

In the last game of four consecutive away games, they played the Wizards. After the Eagles played the Magic, they flew to Ashton, the capital of the United States, the next morning. Some Washington fans who were picking up the Eagles held pick-up signs with the Eagles. The sign of the hotel where he stayed directly said "Welcome to Ashington". The airport was okay, but when we arrived at the hotel and saw the sign of Ashington, Liu Mang's teammates kept teasing Liu Mang.

Liu Mang said helplessly: "Well, I don't like to be in the limelight, but I can't help it. I have my own light, even if I hide in a dark corner, I still shine... Hey, let me go... Someone spank me! Who! Stand up!"

The teammates laughed and ran into the hotel, leaving only Iguodala who could not run fast to help Liu Mang carry a big bag.

"Is it you! Andre, I'm so disappointed. I treat you as a younger brother, but you are actually interested in my butt!" Liu Mang went up and patted the bag on Iguodala's back hard, almost knocking Iguodala off. Pull and crush to death.

Iguodala continued to be miserable: Boss, it’s not me!

The hotel concierge quickly came to help Iguodala take the backpack...it's so heavy!

Iguodala is so desperate. Whenever the weather gets colder, Liu Mang carries a lot of stuff when playing away games, usually two boxes and a large backpack.

The NBA season starts in late autumn, and most of the season is in the cold season. The key is that the Hawks have a good schedule and rarely alternate between home and away games. This is a good thing for the Hawks. Travel is not as tiring as the continuous alternation between home and away. But for Iguodala, Liu Mang’s exclusive younger brother, it’s too miserable!
