Chapter 276 Outsmarting Howard
The official timeout was about to pass soon. The three referees watched Howard's slow-motion replay repeatedly next to the technical table, and then the three people gathered around to discuss intensely.
Seeing that the time was about to end, the three referees finally reached a consensus, and the on-duty chief referee walked to the technical table to explain the situation to the statisticians.
Naturally, all this was heard by the two commentators sitting next to him. Hayward immediately said to the fans, "The results of the discussion between the three referees came out. Except for Li Kaiming's previous shot, which was blocked by In addition to the foul, Dwight Howard also made unnecessary physical contact with the offensive player after the game whistle sounded, and also attacked the offensive player's face. Considering that there were no serious consequences, Howard was given a first-level flagrant foul! "
As soon as the words fell, the fans at the scene still erupted into strong protests. From the perspective of the fans in the MCI Center, they all felt that Howard's action was too subjective and malicious, and they should be expelled directly.
So, as expected, the entire audience began to boo the referee in unison, and some fans shouted "Trash referee!"
This is the horror of the home court advantage. In fact, the judgments of these three referees are still very fair, but in the eyes of the home fans, impartiality is the biggest favoritism.
This situation will be especially obvious in the playoffs. In the playoffs, every time a penalty is involved in the ownership of the ball and free throws, it will cause the home audience to boo wildly, because all the fans can't wait to let all their players Go to the free throw line, and the player on the opposite side doesn't blow.
This is still a case where the penalty is fair. If there is a misjudgment, the situation of the referee will be even more difficult. The most important thing for America is extreme talent. No referee can guarantee whether he will be judged when he walks out of the court Black shot from behind.
Therefore, under the accumulation of games over time, home field advantage or the home whistle has become an unspoken rule that everyone is well aware of.
Therefore, in the NBA, not only the players have to face huge pressure, but even the referees are not an easy job.
Of course, for this penalty, the head coach of the Magic, Stan Van Gundy, also protested symbolically with the referee, but both sides knew that it was impossible to change the penalty, and they were just pretending to give the other side a step down.
Only when the head coach on the opposite side protests the penalty, the home audience will feel that they have taken advantage of it. This is to relieve the referee from the side.
So, this nba is not just about fighting and killing, but also about people's understanding of the world.
At the end of the timeout, players from both sides returned to the field. At this time, Li Kaiming had returned to normal. With a faint smile on his lips, he walked to the free throw line and made two free throws. teeth!
Howard was still thankful that the referee let him stay on the court, but when he suddenly saw Li Kaiming's grinning grin, he turned his head a little, and immediately felt his blood pressure rushing up like crazy!
Any idiot can see this, this guy is just pretending!
Howard felt dizzy at that moment. He was the best defensive player for two times, but he was played around by a rookie!
Howard's breathing became heavy, his eyes widened, and after the blood vessels on the eyeballs were congested, there were red lines all over his eyes at a glance. At this time, he was like a bull irritated by a matador. Cut that grinning kid into pieces!
After the free throw, when Li Kaiming saw Howard's angry look, not only did he not show any fear, he even showed a bright smile to the latter and poked his head twice with his right index finger.
Playing ball depends not only on the body, but also on the brain!
Howard felt a buzz in his head, his blood surged, and he was going crazy!
He involuntarily clenched his fists, kneading his knuckles, and even took a step towards Li Kaiming, as if he was going to come over and make a move!
Before Li Kaiming could react, Magic teammates Arenas and Vince Carter stood in front of Howard. They blocked the latter at the same time and persuaded Howard to calm down.
After being stopped by his teammates, Howard felt that his mind was a little clearer. This does not mean that he is impulsive. After all, he has played football for many years, so he still has some restraint. The main reason is that he was fooled by Li Kaiming just now. After running around and being ridiculed by the latter, he immediately let his anger go to his head.
After being persuaded by his teammates at this time, Howard gave Li Kaiming a hostile look, and then withdrew from the three-point line.
Next is the two free throws and one throw link for a first-level malicious foul. Except for the free throw player, everyone else must step out of the three-point line to eliminate interference with the free throw personnel.
The most accurate free throw in the Wizards is naturally Li Kaiming, and he is also the victim of a malicious foul, so of course he has to make the free throw himself!
After clearing the irrelevant personnel within the three-point line, the referee gave the ball to Li Kaiming. After catching the ball, the latter slightly bent his knees, then raised his knife and dropped it. He made two free throws and scored 2 points!
At this time, the score on the big screen had become 6 to 5, and Li Kaiming scored 4 free throws alone.
And in addition to this, the offensive round after the free throw is still the Wizards', which is the meaning of a malicious foul.
The Wizards sent the ball up the court. Nick Young stood outside the sideline and gave the ball to Hinrich, then immediately ran to the court.
Li Kaiming moved from a 45-degree position to help Hinrich block Arenas. Hinrich took the opportunity to break through to the inside. At the same time, Li Kaiming also went down after the pick-and-roll. He was much faster than Hinrich without the ball. , and the pace is very big, one step to the position of the free throw line.
Hinrich's breakthrough attracted the attention of the Magic, and Ryan Anderson barely kept himself in front of Hinrich, while opening his arms to interfere with the latter's line of sight.
Arenas followed behind and surrounded Anderson. Hinrich didn't panic at all. After waiting for a second, he directly hit the ball and passed it to Li Kaiming who went down one step into the penalty area.
As soon as Li Kaiming got the ball, Howard, who was squatting in the penalty area, and Anderson, who was defending Hinrich, turned around and double-teamed them.
Howard's defensive positioning is very particular, which can interfere with Li Kaiming's shooting and not leave space for Brac.
Faced with this situation, Li Kaiming knew that hesitation would lead to defeat, so he didn't hesitate at all after receiving the ball, and directly faced Howard's defensive throw and shot.
I have to say that Howard's ability to protect the frame is really strong. If Li Kaiming's ball meets any other center, he will be very sure to get it.
But Howard's interference actually made the ball hit the iron. What's more, after interfering with Li Kaiming's shot, he was able to quickly turn around and take off for the second time, and then won the rebound competition with Blatche!
He is indeed the most powerful blue-collar player in history, and his defense alone can get a top salary.
And Howard also seemed to want to release the anger that had accumulated in his heart for a long time. The moment he grabbed the rebound, his two muscular arms suddenly exerted force. He landed on the basketball, and there was a loud "snap", as if what was in his hand was not the basketball, but Li Kaiming's head...
Arenas dribbled the ball to the frontcourt as usual, but this time he did not hold the ball and play hard. Although before the game, his teammates told him to take as many shots as possible, but Arenas knew in his heart that if he If he wants to stay in the current team, he can't do it.
The reason why he can shoot unlimited shots in the Wizards is that, in his opinion, he is the person with the highest status and the strongest ability in the Wizards. This is his team, so he can play as he wants.
But now in this Magic team, Howard and Carter are not inferior to him. If he is a foreigner and starts to grab the right to shoot before his butt is warmed up, it will not be a wise choice.
Therefore, even though Arenas really wanted to shoot every attack by himself, he couldn't do that. He could only comfort himself in his heart. The victory of the game was more important than his personal statistics...
So after coming to the front court with the ball, Arenas first called Howard to come out to cover, and then waited for the latter to go down in place. Li Kaiming helped Blatche assist and missed Anderson. The ball passes.
Anders made a direct shot after catching the ball at mid-range. Li Kaiming was a step slower when he returned to the defense, and Anderson scored two points.
6 is better than 7!
The Wizards were attacking, and the Magic had begun to guard against Li Kaiming's tactics as a screener. In desperation, Li Kaiming had no choice but to cover for the other teammates and use his own offensive threat to open up space for them.
Hinrich held the ball and broke through to the three-point line. He found that there was not much chance, but he did not dare to attack the basket, so he had to pass the ball to Nick Young on the outside. After receiving the ball, Nick Young used Li Kaiming's cover to score three-pointers in one step. Divide the line, and then shoot back from mid-range.
8 is better than 7!
The Magic team served from the bottom line, and the anger in Howard's heart obviously has not subsided. He just wants to vent his anger by piercing through the inside defense of the Wizards, so he just forgot that Arenas is the protagonist tonight, and went to the frontcourt After that, he asked for the ball directly at the waist, and singled Brac after catching the ball.
I have to say that every center seems to have a point guard dream, and Howard is no exception. Many people say he is rough, and he just wants to make all kinds of fancy moves in the penalty area to prove that he is a technical center. It's like a certain tank anchor in later generations trying to prove that he is a good-looking anchor.
But the problem is that facts are facts, and it’s useless to try to overthrow it. Howard changed from a back body to a face frame after receiving the ball, and then slapped the ball awkwardly twice like a trained gorilla. But Blatche, who was standing opposite him, was unmoved.
You don't even have a basket to cook four vegetables and one soup?If I were to dance today, my last name of Brac would be written backwards!
Finding that his change of direction did not mobilize Blatche's defensive focus, Howard gritted his teeth and began to squeeze towards the basket!
Standing by the side, Li Kaiming was delighted to see this scene!
Looking at the two shots you made in front of me, I thought you were going to make a very technical step-back jumper, but in the end you still leaned in with your body to force the top?
Howard originally had mediocre lower body strength, but now he doesn't even have the speed advantage when dribbling the ball. So the ball was easily defended by Blatch, who took off the rebound and handed the ball to Hinrich to dribble to the frontcourt.
As for Li Kaiming, he was both bad and bad. After he came to the frontcourt, he directly pushed Ryan Anderson to the same position as Howard and asked for the ball with his back, preparing to teach the man named Huo a lesson on the spot and let him take a look. The horse is called basketball!
