Chapter 295 Eastern Conference Finals(1/2)
On May 19, 2011, US time, the Magic and Heat ushered in their first game in the Eastern Conference Finals. (")
No one expected that in the first quarter of this game, the protagonists were not James, Wade, Dwight Howard and Wu Feng, but Mike Miller of the Heat.
In the last half of the first quarter, Mike Miller scored 10 points alone.
In the first quarter, the Heat showed 120% of its combat effectiveness. The two teams, whose combat effectiveness seemed to be similar to Wu Feng, now gave the Heat a full 7 points ahead, which Wu Feng did not expect.
Back on the bench, Stan Van Gundy immediately made adjustments. The second quarter started, which was an opportunity for the substitutes to play. Only the strongest defense Gerald Wallace and Dwight Howard from the inside were left, and the remaining main players were all off.
JJ Redick replaced Vince Carter on the court, Chris Duhon replaced Wu Feng, Dwight Howard replaced veteran Nazel Mohammed, and Brandon Bass replaced Ryan Anderson.
After the substitutes came on the court, they fought against the Heat's substitutes, but it was obvious that the Magic's substitutes today were not the Heat's substitutes.
The Heat's substitutes are unique. They will never add icing on the cake and will not give carbon from the snow. Seeing that their team has taken the lead, and this is their home court, such a tailwind is one of the Heat's substitutes' favorite ways to play.
The level was already a little worse, and now the opponent's combat power and spirit are stronger than his side. The substitutes on the Magic team were vaguely devastated in less than three minutes after they played.
At this time, Dwight Howard, who is the pillar of the inside, finally stood up.
Dwight Howard did not use his strength to get the position too early in the inside. Two big men over two meters on the opponent were stuck in the inside. On the other hand, he was the only one in the inside, so he was easily double-teamed by the opponent.
He is not afraid of facing the opponent's double-team defense, but there is no need to compete with the opponent's physical strength from the beginning of the game. He can reasonably allocate his physical strength to ensure that the whole game puts pressure on the opponent.
Thinking of this, Dwight Howard gave up his plan to get into the inside and instead raised the high position to play a pick-and-roll for Chris Duhon.
Seeing Dwight Howard leave the inside and quickly get up, Chris Bosh also quickly followed him out.
Using Dwight Howard's high pick-and-roll, Chris Duhon quickly accelerated and broke through to the Heat's inside.
When Chris Duhon was about to break through Dwight Howard, Heat's point guard Mario Chamos wanted to bypass Dwight Howard, who was stuck in front of him, to intercept Chris Duhon's progress.
Chris Bosh also moved his footsteps in advance, holding up his hands to block the possible route of Chris Duhon's breakthrough.
However, when they saw Chris Du Hong running around Dwight Howard, they were stunned for a moment.
"Where is the ball?" The two of them were confused at the same time.
With a "swish", Mario Chamos and Chris Bosh looked back and saw the basketball fall from the basket and was caught by his teammate Eric Danpier standing under the basket.
Looking at the basketball caught by Eric Danpier and Dwight Howard, who was raising his right hand in one step inside the three-point line, Chris Bosh secretly underestimated this guy.
Dwight Howard quickly retreated and excitedly slapped Chris Duhon as he ran past him. The latest chapter of the Church
Mario Chamos took the baseline serve from his teammate Eric Danpier, and then controlled the ball and slowly advanced towards the Magic's half.
Chris Bosh used his stronger body than Dwight Howard to get the ball in the penalty area.
Seeing this, Mario Chamos hanged the ball into the inside line with a high lob.
However, they all despised Dwight Howard's reaction.
With a "bang", Dwight Howard slapped Mario Chamos' pass to the other side, but what made Dwight Howard extremely depressed was that the ball was still in the hands of the Heat.
After Eric Danpier grabbed the ball, he forced himself to play Brandon Bass. After turning around and passing Yi Jianlian, he rushed straight to the basket. Judging from his style, he was preparing to make a shocking dunk.
Seeing that Big Ben was passed by the opponent, Dwight Howard immediately turned around and prepared to make up for Eric Danpier, but did not relax his attention to Chris Bosh.
"This old guy will pass the ball to Chris, this softie, well, that's the case." Dwight Howard calculated in his mind.
Eric Danpeil rushed to the basket and saw Dwight Howard greeting him, a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth. Then, when he made a layup, he flipped his hand and passed the ball to Chris Bosh behind Dwight Howard.
Seeing this, Dwight Howard was not surprised at all, but was delighted.
Chris Bosh took advantage of Dwight Howard's turn and raised his hands to prepare for a powerful dunk.
However, at this critical moment, a big hand pressed on the basketball that Chris Bosh raised with both hands, and then the basketball was slapped directly by the big hand and slapped out of the field.
"So handsome, Dwight's block is so exciting." Wu Feng sat on the sidelines and stood up excitedly.
"Yes, this guy finally showed our momentum. Haha, next we are going to counterattack." Vince Carter also stood up from his seat and said happily.
"Good, Dwight, that's it." Stan Van Gundy walked to the sidelines and shouted at Dwight Howard on the field.
"I know, boss." Dwight Howard responded with a smile.
Chris Bosh shook his hair and stared at Dwight Howard fiercely. In Wu Feng's appearance, he didn't look soft at all as people said.
Mike Miller served on the sideline, Mario Chamos carefully organized the Heat's offense after receiving the ball.
Since he played, he has not performed at all. As the team's first substitute guard, Mario Chamos is under a lot of pressure.
Mario Chamos stopped moving forward one step outside the three-point line and waved to Chris Bosh to come up and cooperate with him.
Mario Chamos knew very well that Chris Duhon's movements were not as fast as he was, but his own breakthrough could not be too much.
What he wants is the advantage of the first step, allowing Eric Danpier to make a wall for himself, one can surround him to shake off Chris Duhon and the other is to transfer Dwight Howard, who was rewarded with Chris Bosh, who had just won the big hat from the penalty area.
Mario Chamos doesn't want Chris Bosh's tragedy to repeat itself, but he is also quite shocked. He knows Chris Bosh's strength.
Seeing Chris Bosh on the top of the ranks, Dwight Howard naturally followed. The latest chapter of the Church
"Opportunity!" Mario Chamos saw Dwight Howard following his center forward with him, he suddenly switched the basketball to his left hand, and lowered his body and began to accelerate.
Chris Du Hong suddenly found that his opponent was much faster than before, and his retreat had missed the first move defense opportunity.
Moreover, Eric Danpier, who came up from behind, also delayed his return route and could only watch Mario Chamos kill to the basket.
"It's over!" Mario Chamos was delighted. Now his eyes were only the basket belonging to the Magic.
Speed up and flew, he wanted to end the attack with a beautiful dunk.
Mario Chamos was approaching the basket infinitely, and his body after taking off the air was like a black lightning. His right hand holding the ball condensed his full sprint.
At this time, Mario Chamos had the only one close-to-point basket in his eyes, and he could not see the expressions of his teammates at all.
If he could see it, he would certainly see something from those surprised eyes.
The moment Mario Chamos' hand pushed the basketball toward the basket, a big hand magically appeared between the basketball and the basket.
"Bang!"
This crisp and loud sound echoed over the entire field, and the slap seemed to hit the hearts of all the fans who supported the Heat again.
Mario Chamos, who lost his balance in the air, flew out of the bottom line horizontally and hit the basketball stand hard.
The moment before landing, he saw a tall guy falling in the air behind him, his right hand still maintaining the posture of Mario Chamos making a layup.
"Bang, bang, bang", the basketball got out of the field.
"pretty……"
"This guy Dwight is now a bunker again..."
"So handsome..."
Dwight Howard's two beautiful blocks in a row have won the praise of many Magic fans at the scene. Many fans shouted Dwight Howard's name loudly, and half of the entire stadium has been boiling.
Mario Chamos, lying under the basketball rack, had no idea what had been born behind him just now.
When did this hateful guy appear behind him? If it weren't for him, the attack just now would have been a perfect ending.
Although he did not see how he was blocked by Dwight Howard, the fans on the sidelines and the players of the two teams clearly saw the entire process of the blocking.
When Eric Danpier mentioned the cover of the arc, Dwight Howard followed him to help Chris Duhon with help.
Mario Chamos forced his start before Eric Danpier was completely stuck. On the one hand, this is because he is confident in his explosive power of speed, and on the other hand, it is because he has not scored since he started playing, and his eagerness to show is at work.
Dwight Howard's defense was not as fast as he expected, because Dwight Howard knew that this guy was very fast. He was afraid that he would not be able to form a more effective defense with Chris Duhon at the first time, so he decided to stay behind.
It just so happened that Mario Chamos used his Eric Danpier to break through as a wall, but he did not realize that Dwight Howard did not completely follow Eric Danpier to the top of the arc. At the moment of dislocation, not only Chris Duhon's movement was blocked, but Dwight Howard's figure was also blocked by Eric Danpier.
Dwight Howard was like a hunting lion at this moment, lurking behind the prey when he launched an attack. The moment Mario Chamos soared into the air, Dwight Howard showed his sharp teeth.
With a height of more than 30 cm, Dwight Howard's slender arm span and excellent jumping power, a clean and beautiful block was created.
This beautiful block obviously has no suspicion of foul, but since the ball was slapped out of bounds by Dwight Howard, it is still the Heat's right to play.
The Heat attacked, Mario Chamos took control of the ball.
Chris Bosh took advantage of teammate Mike Miller's unball cover and went straight to the bottom line. He received a timely pass from Mario Chamos and a jump shot from the open space.
With a "swish", the ball hollowed into the net!
Chris Bosh waved his fist excitedly.
Transposition of offense and defense.
Dwight Howard quickly rushed into the opponent's penalty area, then pressed against Eric Danpier behind him, and asked for the ball from the point guard Chris Duhon who was already standing in the arc.
Chris Duhong took advantage of a beautiful change of direction to get rid of the entangled space of defensive players and lifted the ball into the penalty area.
Dwight Howard used his long wingspan to successfully catch the ball in the air.
Seeing that he could no longer stop Dwight Howard from receiving the ball, Eric Danpeil began to push Dwight Howard on the back with his raised arms, trying to get Dwight Howard to get off the three-second zone line.
In the fight of pure power, Dwight Howard moved forward and then leaned back sharply.
The old guy Eric Danpier has obviously been attacked by Dwight Howard many times, so he could only push forward with force, hoping not to be too ruthless by Dwight Howard.
However, the next second made his wishful thinking completely fail, and the impact did not come as he expected.
On the contrary, Dwight Howard passed by his right side along the bottom line like a gyro at the moment when the two of them were about to come into contact.
Eric Danpier, who defended Dwight Howard, was completely disrupted by Dwight Howard's sudden cut, and he could not make the next defensive move at all.
