I'm really not a superstar

Chapter 286 A battle to set the world
With the referee throwing the ball in the middle circle, the finals began.

Yao Ming grew taller, Howard jumped higher, and the two touched the ball almost at the same time.

Under the joint interference of the two forces, the ball changed its trajectory and flew out along the center line.

Dorsey was one step faster and grabbed the ball first.

Immediately rushed to the magic basket.

Turkoglu stood in front of Dorsey, trying to limit his progress.Perhaps because of the Turkoglu star card used before, Dorsey is very familiar with the opponent's movements and intentions. When he turned around while running, he shook the opponent away, and then went straight to the basket like a sharp dagger. .

Dorsey jumped high and was about to dunk.

But as soon as the hand was raised, the ball was suddenly blocked from behind by a strong force.

Dorsey heard cheers from the Orlando fans.

In less than 8 seconds after the opening, Dorsey was blocked!

Dorsey turned back sharply, only to see that the person blocking the shot was Howard.

This guy who looks like Dorsey has the same excellent explosive power and jumping ability.

With a beautiful behind-the-scenes block, he announced to the Rockets that this is World of Warcraft!It's my place!
At this time, Howard is at his peak, and in the league's trading market, he can be exchanged for James alone.

In the previous life, the league did not rank Howard among the top 75 superstars, which is really unbelievable.

However, although Warcraft is powerful, it also has nemesis.

He can't be arrogant in front of Dayao. Yao's height, weight, solid footwork, excellent basket skills and precise shooting all restrain Howard's characteristics in all aspects.

The Magic attacked and the ball hit Howard, who wanted to play Yao Ming one-on-one.

Howard arched his back, but Dayao's horse gait was very steady, and he couldn't stand it at all.

Howard turned around and wanted to rush to the basket, but Yao Ming had already prepared, predicted in advance, and took a big step horizontally, blocking Howard's route to the basket.

Howard's skills were not good enough to bypass Yao Ming, and he couldn't move the arch, and he couldn't rush in, so he had to force a shot.

But Dayao was too tall, and when he stretched out his hand, it covered the sky and the sun, and Howard couldn't see where the basket was at all.

Howard's shooting is still a bit rough, usually aiming at the basket, he may not be able to make a shot, let alone a blind shot under the interference of Dayao.

The ball was thrown inaccurately and bounced off the backboard.

Scola grabbed the defensive rebound, handed it to McGrady, and slowly organized the offense.

The Rockets' policy is very clear, which is to play slowly, grind slowly, and play positional warfare.

Although this may sacrifice Dorsey's impact, there is only one player in the lineup who can charge, but almost everyone on the other side can charge. Sacrifice yourself a little and limit the opponent's team. This deal is worth it!
In positional warfare, the ball will naturally pass through Yao Ming's hands.

Tracy McGrady moved slowly through half court, waiting for Yao Ming to settle inside the three-point line.

The ball passed to Yao Ming, and Howard defended one-on-one.

Due to the existence of Warcraft, the Magic is one of the few teams in the league that does not flank Yao Ming, does not assist in defense, and does not go around the front.

This is not to say that Warcraft can defend Yao Ming alone, but that the coffee position is here. As the number one center in the league today, if he needs the help of his teammates to defend Yao Ming, wouldn't it be too embarrassing?

Dayao played very comfortably without flanking or going around. His offensive methods are very rich, and he is handy in fighting World of Warcraft.

Dayao pushed his back, using it as an axis, and turned around quickly.

Warcraft was very alert and blocked the inside line, preventing Dayao from entering.But Dayao didn't have to go in at all, he just jumped up and shot.

Dayao was already taller than Howard by a large margin, and after jumping up, he had a higher shot point, which Howard couldn't reach, but Dayao's shooting was very stable, and the ball hit the basket accurately.

This contest of offense and defense is the epitome of Howard's fight against Yao Ming.Howard's offensive method is too simple, Yao Ming is very reliable in defense, and Dayao's offensive methods are very diverse, making Howard difficult to defend, even with just a turnaround jump shot, Howard cannot defend!
Of course, as the current number one center in the league in name, Howard will not be completely at the mercy of Yao. His speed and explosive power are still very advantageous during the fast break.

But the Rockets have been guarding against this move for a long time. They try to slow down the rhythm as much as possible and play positional warfare, just to prevent Howard from rushing up.

Overall, Yao Ming played Howard very steadily.

But if Howard couldn't open it, the Magic's overall offense stagnated.

Although they have many excellent outside players, they are known as "one-star four-shot".But it is with Howard as the axis. Driving the team's offense.

In the past, Howard could deal with opponents alone in the interior, and others could expand the defensive range as much as possible and increase the defensive force on the outside without any scruples, so that they would have advantages both inside and outside.

However, their opponent now has the only player in the league that Howard can't beat——Yao Ming!Because they were at a disadvantage in the competition with Dayao, other players of the Magic team, instead of being able to fight unscrupulously on the outside, had to come over from time to time to support the inside.

Under the ebb and flow, the Rockets' advantage is very obvious.

From the very beginning, the Rockets' tactics were very clear, slowing down the tempo and resolutely using Yao Ming to fight Howard.

Also received very good results.

Almost from the first minute, the Rockets were in the lead.

At the end of the first quarter, at 32:25, the Rockets led by 7 points.

At the end of the second quarter, at 65:53, the Rockets led by 12 points.

In the third quarter, the Magic team got worse. Howard was impetuous and fell into a foul crisis. The experienced Yao Ming made several fouls in a row. Van Gundy had to replace Howard. In this way, the basket became Yao Ming's All over the world, the little Chinese giant is rampant inside.

At the end of the third quarter, the score was 90:73, and the score was extended to 17 points.

Originally, the outside world thought it was a contest between Mars and the Earth, but they didn't expect it to become a one-sided competition.The fourth quarter entered garbage time early.

The final score was locked at 111:98. The Rockets won by 13 points!
此役，姚明狂砍33分13个篮板4次盖帽，而霍华德只得了12分12个篮板2次封盖。

The data of the two is a judgment call.

After this battle, the evaluation from the outside world was a little listless, and the mood was waning.Obviously, Howard can't beat Yao Ming, and the result of the contest between the two directly determines the competitiveness of the two teams.

This game is almost a comprehensive comparison of the strengths of the two teams.It can be said that the Rockets will decide the world in one battle!

If the Magic can't come up with a good solution in the next game, then this year's finals will lose suspense early.

Except for the fans of the Rockets, no matter whether it is the league, the media, sponsors, or the majority of neutral ordinary fans, they are unwilling to see such a result.

In addition to the championship itself, another topic of discussion is: the current league's No. [-] center has already been decided.

If nothing else happens, the Rockets won the championship trophy, and Yao Ming will also be elected as the MVP of the finals. By then, he will be the league's No. [-] center!His historical evaluation will also greatly leap forward several grades!
Don't forget, he dragged a broken foot and exploded the monster!

All of this is based on the premise of no accidents.However, for the ill-fated Rockets this season, accidents will never be absent...
