Chapter 421 Aerial Operations

The game was broadcast live by TNT across the United States, as was CCTV.

"One of the biggest things to watch tonight is not whether the Suns will complete their 21-game winning streak, but whether Howard can challenge the Hammers' dominance in the paint."

In the TNT live broadcast seat, Barkley said.

"What do you think?" Kenny Smith asked.

"I?"

When asked this question, Barkley gritted his teeth and said: "I think the hammer will win. The young boys are not yet able to challenge the hammer."

"Why? Do you have any basis? You must know that Howard's statistics are not bad, and he also had 18 rebounds twice. Of course, he can't compare with the Hammer, but his physical fitness is better than the Hammer, and he is more explosive and jumps faster. High, and the strength is not much worse..." Smith said.

"There is no reason, I just think that the hammer is the greatest king of the paint area." Barkley insisted on his own opinion.

"the greatest?"

Smith is confused, Barkley, are you blowing too much?

"well……"

Barkley sighed in his heart, the beauty star is not so easy to rub, and he still has to do it if he agreed to the conditions of the hammer, otherwise it will be difficult to explain, that kid is not the one who can suffer, so continue to cover his face and brag .

The game started, Li Ba and Howard jumped up.

"This animal!"

Completely defeated, Howard took off at least one foot higher than Li Ba, which made him feel helpless.

However, in terms of bullet speed, he feels that he will not be weaker than Howard, and is at a considerable level.

"Do you want to optimize the follow-up again?"

I still have 100 million nanoworms, one is to prevent injury, and the other is to exchange for special nanoworms to optimize the wrist, should I use it now?

Magic offense.

Francis advanced to the top of the arc.

Howard ran straight to the basket.

With a height of 211 cm, a weight of 108 kg, and a wingspan of 223 cm, he can touch the top of the backboard. Such an inside monster goes to the basket, and the point guard only needs to throw the ball in, and then wait for the sound.

Therefore, Li Ba will never let Howard get close to the basket.

Howard is very fast, Li Ba can't overtake, so he directly hits him with his body.

"Boom!"

The two rushed to the basket at the same time, shoulders touched when they were below the free throw line, and then separated in an instant.

"..."

Howard was horrified, such a strong force?

He was hit directly, which he never had in high school, nor since he entered the league.

"Little rookie, come, fly one on the uncle's head, let me see if you have wings."

Li Ba was slightly stagnant, and continued to take two steps forward, stopped under the basket, glared at the big boy Howard, and hooked his fingers at him.

"What do I want?"

Howard leaned forward and asked curiously.

"Then I'll tear it up." Li Ba sneered.

Howard choked, the hammer was so fierce, he didn't like it.

"Boom!"

He leaned on Li Ba, wanting to turn around and hold the latter in place behind him, but as soon as he leaned on him, the surging force pushed him away in an instant, and he couldn't stand on his feet at all.

"Little rookie, you are too lazy, come play with me after gaining weight."

While talking trash, Li Ba exerted all his strength to push Howard outward, and Howard didn't even have a chance to turn around.

"Dwight is too thin, so there is no way to carry the Hammer, O'Neal, and a powerful center like Daben. His weight gain plan must be completed on time."

On the sidelines, Magic coach Johnny Davis said to the coaching staff behind him.

Francis saw that Howard was not in place, so naturally he couldn't pass the ball. Although Howard had a small hook, it was so far from the basket and was unreliable. He threw a three-pointer against Marbury's defense .

Coming to the Magic this season, compared to the Mosaic team, although he still focuses on organization, he has more freedom in scoring and greater authority, so it is not a problem to make a few shots.

"boom!"

The basketball hits the hoop.

"Snapped!"

Li Ba turned around and jumped up, grabbing the rebound.

The Suns, Marbury, Joe Johnson, and Marion quickly played, and the Magic had Francis and Mobley returning to the defense in time. The frontcourt was three-for-two. Joe Johnson rushed into the paint and received a pass from Marbury. , dunk a ball.

The Magic attack.

Howard ran to the basket again, but was pushed out by Li Ba again.

"I can't stand up, if it's not in place, Howard's lower body strength is lacking, and his upper body strength is obviously not as good as the hammer." Zhang Lili shouted at the CCTV live broadcast.

If it is not in place, Howard had to go to the low post on the left wing.

Just when he reached the low position on the left wing, he suddenly turned around and rushed to the basket again, and reached out to Francis at the top of the arc for the ball.

Li Ba hurriedly turned to follow, but lost half a step.

"Very smart." Yu Jiazan said.

Yes, Howard saw that he was too tough, so he wanted to use his explosive power like a gas explosion to hit the basket.

Strength, he thought to himself, was inferior, but explosive power, he was sure that he was better than the hammer.

Seeing this, Francis hurriedly jumped up to pass the ball, otherwise he would not be in a hurry.

The ball flew over Marbury's head and flew over the basket.

Howard adjusted his pace while tilting his head to watch the ball, which slowed down his momentum slightly.

At this moment, he was extremely excited, because he was about to fly over the hammer's head.

No one is allowed to fly over our heads. Although he is just a rookie, he still hates this sentence. He likes flying the most.

Li Ba didn't look at the ball, lowered his head and tried his best to speed up. When Howard watched the ball and adjusted his pace, he not only caught up with the half step that fell, but also took the lead in taking off.

"Boom!"

Li Ba took off with a half-beat first, with his right arm raised high, catching the ball with one hand.

Howard jumped up, but just as he jumped up, he was pushed back to the floor by a big hand, but it turned out to be Li Ba's left hand.

"Snapped!"

Li Ba successfully intercepted the ball with one hand.

"Beautiful aerial work! Now is the time for the Hammer's performance." The Sun's home commentator started his roar excitedly.

At this moment, Marbury turned around very quickly and went down.

"boom!"

The Magic didn't return to defense in time, Joe Johnson followed up with strides, received a pass from Marbury, dunked with a one-armed tomahawk, and the Magic basket trembled violently.

"I don't watch the ball, I think this is the biggest advantage of the hammer, and this is also his greatest place." Barkley boasted vigorously.

"Yeah, it does move the hammer at full speed," Smith said.

Magic offense.

Howard was pushed away from the basket by Li Ba again, and when three seconds were up, he had to get out of the paint.

This time he made another switchback run, but Francis didn't give it to the rookie, but gave it to Grant Hill on the left-wing three-point line.

Hill took the ball, Battier took a step back to defend, and closed his eyes with a single palm.

Hill didn't play well in the past two years, but he feels good this season. He feels that his injury has healed and his self-confidence has soared.

Taking the ball, he turned around and leaned against Battier, breaking the latter's eye-blocking method, then swung left, shaking Battier's feet, turned right again, and broke through Battier with one step.

This series of breakthrough movements is very smooth and gorgeous, quite like Jordan's successor.
