The convulsion superstar of basketball

Chapter 52 52. Constipation War

On the court, as the referee blew the whistle, the two sides also announced their starting lineups.

Bobcats:

Felton, Richardson, Gerald Wallace, Diaw, Okafor.

Magic:

Nelson, Pietrus, Lewis, Turkoglu, Howard.

The two sides also sent their regular lineups for this season in this game.

Just looking at the lineup of the Bobcats, it can be seen that the Bobcats' paper strength is not weak at all, and even in defense, they are simply making a difference.

The only shortcoming is probably that the scoring points are not particularly prominent.

Because whether it is Richardson or Felton, although these two people can also complete the offensive task on the court, but if they want them to carry the banner of a team's offense, it is obviously still a little bit late.

After the game started, Howard was the first to jump to the ball for the Magic.

Speaking of Howard and Okafor of the Bobcats, the two have quite a relationship.

Both are also rookies in the 04 class, Howard is the No. [-] pick, and Okafor is the No. [-] pick.

The two have been compared to each other by the media when they first entered the league.

But in the battle for the best rookie of the year, Okafor finally beat Howard to win the best rookie of the year.

In his rookie season, Okafor's performance can be said to be very eye-catching, and it is not an exaggeration to describe him as the peak of his debut.

But in the next few seasons, Okafor was plagued by serious injuries. Since then, instead of improving, Okafor's performance has declined every year.

Until this season, although Okafor was still able to contribute double-doubles per game, compared with his rookie season, it has already experienced a very large decline.

Coupled with injuries and weight problems, Okafor has lost the agility that people are optimistic about after entering the league.

Today's Okafor has basically been completely reduced to a meat shield insider with tonnage.

On the other hand, Howard, who was mediocre in his rookie season, has grown into the league's number one center at this time.

Looking at the two Okafors, who were of equal age and equal in age back then, and looking at their current situation, this also made Su Jiu deeply moved off the court.

With the Magic taking the lead in attacking, the lineup of the Bobcats on the court may not perform very well on the offensive end, but on the defensive end, these people all have good defensive capabilities.

Especially Elvis Wallace, is one of the few defensive monsters on the league's front line.

So the Magic still habitually handed the ball to Howard for processing.

Although Okafor has lost the agility he had when he first entered the league, his low-post defensive ability is still very strong. After all, the 20-pound weight gain is not in vain.

This has also led to the fact that although Okafor is far from being comparable to Howard today, facing an inside line like Howard who mainly relies on physical fitness to force him, Okafor still has a lot to do on the defensive end.

At least it is much stronger than Dampier, who claims to be the second center in the West.

With the contest between the two teams on the court, the score has been controlled within a very small range. The Magic, the league's number one team, did not take any advantage when facing the Bobcats.

This obviously made many fans' eyes widen, feeling very incredible.

Barkley: "The Magic seem to have encountered a little trouble in this game. The Magic are currently ranked first in the league with an absolute crushing advantage, but in this game, the Magic seem to have no good way on the offensive end."

"We all know that Larry is a well-known defensive coach. He still pays more attention to the team's defensive ability. Therefore, after Larry took office as the head coach of the Bobcats this year, we can now see the transformation of this team."

"Although the Bobcats will suddenly experience a power outage on the offensive end, their defensive ability has actually reached an average level in the league, or even above average."

Kenny Smith: "Yes, from the current situation on the court, we can also see that the Magic also have no good way to face the Bobcats' defense."

"Because the offensive burden of the entire Magic team is actually on Dwight and Rashad in the starting lineup, but it is Gerrard who is defending Rashad today."

"We don't need to say much about Gerrard's defensive ability. This is a player whose defensive ability can be recognized by all fans."

"And Dwight's physical fitness is very good. Facing most of the insiders in the league, he can use his body to crush him, and he doesn't need too much technology at all."

"But Emeka (Okafor) also made his low defensive ability very good due to his previous weight gain."

"Although due to the troubles caused by injuries in the past two years, there was news of Emeka's weight loss during the offseason, but judging from his current body shape, we still haven't seen the results of his weight loss."

"So when both Dwight and Rashad have some trouble on the offensive end, it's obviously keeping this Magic team from opening up."

"Based on past experience, I think that at this time, Stan should consider bringing Su to the field in advance."

"Because once the Magic couldn't open up the situation before, Su's playing would become the extremely unstable X factor, and it also brought very different effects in the previous few games."

Barkley: "I also think so at the moment, because the Magic's current lineup on the court is still too dependent on Dwight, and Dwight currently does not have much advantage on the court."

"So Stan can indeed make some adjustments to the situation on the court in advance. Anyway, the Magic has been unable to open up the situation on the offensive end at this time. Even if the next substitution does not get better, it will not be too bad."

At this time, Van Gundy watched the offense on the field as if he was constipated, and he also stood on the sidelines with his arms crossed, frowning all the time.

Even the problem that the commentator can see, of course Stan as the head coach can also see it, but he is in his position and seeks his own affairs.

It is because Van Gundy is the team's head coach that he has more things to think about. This makes Van Gundy keep thinking about whether to take Su Jiu to the game in advance.

At this moment, as Howard's inside pass was once again destroyed and out of bounds by the Bobcats, Van Gundy finally couldn't stand it.

Then Van Gundy waved his hand to Su Jiu who was on the sidelines.

"Su, take off your clothes and get ready to go on stage."
