NBA: Back to 97, to be the Jagged Bishop

The Suns attach great importance to this game against the Bobcats, just like the Lakers and the Spurs, if they want to win the championship, they will probably have to pass the Bobcats in the end, so if they can win the Bobcats in the regular season, they will be able to establish the finals psychological advantage.

But it's not exactly the same as the Lakers and Spurs. The center position of the Lakers and Spurs is broken. They don't have any expectations of suppressing O'Fat head-on, so they used some crooked methods.

Shark-cutting tactics are really useful when they work, and they are really completely useless when they don't.

The Suns don't follow such crooked ways, they feel that the monster in their hands will be their weight against O'Pang in the future.

It is really Howard's physical test data is too dazzling, giving the Suns boss, management and fans infinite reverie.

In the warm-up session before the start of the main game in the evening, Combe and D'Antoni stood on the sidelines chatting.

D'Antoni looked at the warming-up Arab League, his eyes were full of doting, as a coach, he was definitely lucky to be able to coach such a player.

"Mike, I've always been curious, what exactly is your tactical philosophy?"

Kong Bu couldn't hold back anymore, and asked.

"Huh? Sorry, Kong, I don't quite understand what you mean."

"Tactical philosophy? You want to ask which coach in the league I admire the most in terms of coaching style?"

D'Antoni asked with a smile.

Combe nodded, this is indeed the question he wanted to ask.

"I used to admire Adelman's tactical concept very much. He is definitely a representative of turning decay into magic. Even if he only has a group of players who are not very strong, he can rely on tactics to achieve good results."

"Then the old Adelman coached the Kings, and the Indian boss gave him a strong lineup. Then the Kings still didn't make substantial progress, and I knew his philosophy was not suitable for me."

"Later I felt that George Karl's philosophy suited me. His team liked to shoot. In theory, as long as they were lucky enough, they could shoot any team, whether it was the Bulls Dynasty, the Raptors or the Philadelphia Dynasty."

Combe nodded. This is not wrong at all. When he coached Philadelphia before, he was always deflated by George Karl's Bucks.

"As a result, the Bucks that Carl has coached over the years have been inconspicuous. I knew that luck alone would definitely not win the game."

"What I admire most now is your tactical concept. There are no fixed tactics, and everything is adaptable."

"After all, you won seven championships in a row."

D'Antoni laughed.

Kumbu was speechless. He originally wanted to ask D'Antoni why he didn't play the seven-second offense, but he didn't expect to be flattered by D'Antoni.

During the warm-up session, Ao Pang already looked at Howard with malicious intentions.

"Dudududu!"

The referee blew the whistle to start the game, and the starters of both sides began to play.

Oban and Howard executed the jump ball.

When the two stood together, Howard's one-of-a-kind strong body was completely smaller than Ao's.

Standing in front of O'Pang, Howard looked like an underdeveloped child.

"Son, tonight's game will definitely be the nightmare of your life."

"I'll let you know what happens to nonsense in this adult league."

Ao Pang looked fierce, glaring at Howard and said.

Howard was overwhelmed by Ao Pang's aura, and he failed to beat Ao Pang in the jump ball.

In the Bobcats' offensive round, Ao Pang had already settled down first. This time he directly stuck Howard behind him, and then reached out to Hill for the ball.

Hill passed the ball at the first time, and then Ao Pang turned around and completed a dunk on Howard's forehead.

From the end of the jump ball to the completion of the dunk, it took less than five seconds before and after.

When it comes to the Suns' offensive round, Howard is not the leader of the team after all, he can only be regarded as the third leader of the Suns at best.

In the first offensive round, Nash and Alian played a tactical cooperation, which was a bit similar to the Jazz's Utah Shuangsha two-person pick-and-roll, and then Alian made a mid-range shot.

It's a pity that I couldn't score.

The rebound was also taken off by Ao Pang.

"Boy, in the next round, I will still shoot in the same way from the same position."

"If you have the ability, you come to guard against it."

After Ao Pang passed the rebound to Hill, he turned his head and joked at Howard.

Howard didn't dare to answer, he had already made up his mind that in the next round, no matter what, he would give Ao Pang a little color.

Hill controlled the ball to the frontcourt, and Oban got stuck in Howard's position and began to reach for the ball.

After the ball passed, Ao Pang still turned around to squeeze Howard away, and then completed a dunk under the basket. If you watch the whole set of movements in slow motion, it is almost exactly the same as the previous round.

Howard's complexion changed drastically. He knew that things were in trouble, and he seemed to be no match for O'Pang at all.

In the offensive round of the Suns, Howard received a pass from the United Arab Emirates.

He didn't want this ball at all, and there was a giant standing behind him, how could he score points on him? '

But the ball has already been caught, so he can only bite the bullet.

With a "bang" in the next second, Ao Pang's fat body flew up and knocked Howard with his ball cap to the ground.

After successfully blocking the shot, Ao Pang violently beat his chest and roared, venting the frustration of the previous two games.

In the first two games against the Lakers and Spurs, he played too aggrieved. Tonight, taking advantage of the fact that the Suns would not use the shark-slashing tactic against him, he completely broke out.

There were only two rounds at the beginning, and Ao Pang had already scored 4 points, 1 rebound and 1 block.

Howard was capped and looked at the roaring Ao Pang with horror on his face. It was only at this moment that he clearly realized how cruel the NBA is.

In the first two games, he played against Bus and Big Ben.

Although the bus looks extremely ferocious, he is a man of heaven after all, and his style of acting is relatively restrained. After the team confirmed the victory, he didn't do much to the immature Howard.

But Daben has a fierce face, but he is the kind of stuffy player. The key point is that he doesn't attack much. He can't beat his chest and roar after grabbing a rebound, right?
So Big Ben didn't leave a particularly deep impression on Howard.

Now that he met Ao Pang, and he was a thoroughly irritated Ao Pang, Howard's end was coming.

In the next round, Ao Pang went crazy, dunking Howard in various offensive rounds, blood caps in various defensive rounds, and also grabbed Howard to collapse in rebounds.

等到首节打了8分钟，奥胖竟然已经入账了14分6篮板4盖帽1助攻。

This is because his shooting percentage of 8 of 7 is too high, otherwise the number of rebounds must be more.

"Hey, tell this kid how many points he got tonight."

Ao Pang made an offensive round, walked to the side of the technical platform, and yelled at the on-site commentator.

The commentator is the resident commentator of the Suns. Of course, he wears the same pants as the Suns. Seeing how rampant Ao Pang is, he wants to say something to him.

It's a pity that after looking at Howard's personal data, he really couldn't speak.

Played 8 minutes on the court, the same as O'Pang's playing time, Howard currently has zero points, and other statistics are also very embarrassing, 1 rebound, 1 assist, 1 steal and 3 turnovers.

That 1 assist was obtained by grabbing an offensive rebound and passing the ball to the UAE.

That 1 steal was lucky enough to copy the ball passed by Hill to O'Fang.

It can be said that in these 8 minutes, Howard was useless and could not find any bright spots. It seemed that he was no better than the meme that the Lakers used as cannon fodder.

D'Antoni looked embarrassed.

He thought that Howard might not be Ao Pang's opponent tonight, and might be suppressed by Ao Pang.

But it was absolutely unexpected that Ao Pang could suppress Howard to such an extent, it was like a father beating his son, and there was no way to fight back.

Kumbu replaced Oban and replaced Varejao.

As soon as he saw Varejao play, Howard suddenly came to the spirit.

This guy is a rookie in the same class as himself, he is the top pick, and Varejao is the bottom of the first round. The gap between the two can be imagined.

If I can't beat Ao Pang, is it possible that I can't beat you Varejao?
In the end, he really hadn't played. During Varejao's 3 minutes on the court, the only extra data Howard had was two fouls.

He wanted to prove himself too much. After getting the ball, he slammed Varejao like a wild boar. That was not in Varejao's arms. His superb acting skills don't need to wait any longer.

As a result, in 3 minutes, after Varejao scored 2 points and 2 rebounds, he also added two more fouls to Howard's technical statistics.

D'Antoni is speechless, it's a bit unreasonable, I can understand if I can't beat Ao Pang, but I can't beat Varejao?He even wondered if the champion he had chosen might be a parallel importer.

In the first two games against Bus and Ben, Howard's performance was actually very good. A high school center faced two first-line centers in the league. He contributed double-doubles in both games. What more bicycle?
But Howard's performance tonight was a bit eye-catching.

"Coach, would you like me to play a little longer tonight?"

"I have a feeling I might be able to get a quadruple-double tonight."

"I want those damn guys to open their eyes and see that I, Shaq, is still the number one center in the universe who can dominate the basket, um, the number one center in the universe that is tied with Yao Ming."

"Even this new kid dares to look down on me. I must make him pay the price and teach him a lesson he will never forget."

After Ao Pang looked at his technical statistics in the first quarter, his mind became active.

What he said to Kongbu sounded outrageous, but in fact, O'Pang's little calculations were clanging. He had already won an 80+ classic under Kongbu.

In that game, I actually had a chance to score a quadruple-double, but unfortunately, if I want a quadruple-double, it is impossible to be 80+.

Between quadruple-double and 80+, Ao Pang chose the rarer 80+.

In tonight's game, he has already blocked 4 shots in the first quarter. As long as his luck is not too bad in the next time, he has a good chance of a quadruple double.

"Okay, let's play then."

"Get a quadruple-double and wipe out the bad luck for the Bobcats. We did have a bit of a rough start to the season."

Combe laughed.

"I'm afraid the Suns won't dare to continue putting that kid on the field."

"If this kid wasn't there, I really wouldn't be sure to hit double figures."

Oban worried.

Combe shook his head, "Don't worry, coach D'Antoni is not the kind of person who is afraid of failure. He will definitely let Howard play the whole game."

"The Suns want to win the championship, and sooner or later they have to pass our Bobcats. We can't let Howard avoid you forever."

As Comb expected, D'Antoni immediately put Howard on the court when he saw Ao Pang return to the court.

And he didn't deliberately reduce the proportion of Howard's shots.

He just wanted Howard to gradually absorb the experience of fighting O'Pang in the matchup.

It's a pity that D'Antoni's contact with Howard is too short, and he still doesn't understand Howard's disposition that mud can't support the wall.

Some players, such as Jordan, Kobe, and Iverson, are more frustrated and courageous. If he loses to you in one game, he will try his best to kill you in the next game.

After being abused for a quarter, Howard was completely discouraged, and all he could think about was to quickly end this nightmare game.

"Son, make a move!"

"Are you really willing to end this game with 0 points? Damn it, can't you have something to do?"

Ao Pang also noticed that Howard didn't dare to make a move, so he became agitated by speaking directly.

Howard didn't make a shot, how could O'Pang's block be in double figures?How can he get a quadruple double?
It's a pity that Howard just remained unmoved and continued to be his coward.

"You don't make a move? Are you not afraid that fans all over the world will laugh at you? Are you not afraid that people will say that you are a parallel importer like Kwame Brown?"

"By the way, let me tell you some good news. Don't think that you can regain the face of this game in the next game."

"Because your opponent in the next game is Yao Ming. He is much more ruthless than me. He and I are life and death friends. I will definitely take care of him and let him score 100 points on you!"

Ao Pang was so angry that he started talking nonsense.

Ao Pang's aggressive method didn't have any effect, but D'Antoni's side worked. Seeing Howard has been shrinking his head, how could he bear it? After calling a timeout, he directly asked Howard to increase the number of shots he took. .

Howard was about to cry, feeling that this coach had a grudge against him?Obviously I am not the opponent of that fat man, why do I have to make a fool of myself?
He is just a rookie, and he has no ability to disobey the coach's tactical arrangement, so he can only bite the bullet and play.

Ao Pang was so happy that he grinned from the corner of his mouth to the back of his head, and his block data had already started to skyrocket.

In the middle of the fourth quarter, O'Pang jumped up and blocked Howard. This block was also his tenth block of the game.

34 points, 13 rebounds, 11 assists and 10 block!

It only took O'Pang three and a half quarters to complete the quadruple-double feat. Since then, there has been another O'Neal on the quadruple-double rankings.

Kumbu has been watching the match between Howard and O'Pang all the time. After watching it, he only has one feeling in his heart.

That is, there is also a gap between champions.

The gap is too big, Howard is just a toy in front of O'Pang.

What's even more sad is that, under Stern's speechless schedule, Howard will face Yao Ming in the next game after finishing his match against O'Pang tonight.
