You should cross the mountains like a brave man

Chapter 628 The Trash Can of History
As I said before, after Weixia's second battle, James can be ranked second in the most dramatic event of the lockout season. However, with Orlando's traditional performances, his No.2 can't be kept. If you feel wronged, just go to No.3 and give in. The NBA goat's draft pick comes from this position.

It seems that most of the good guys will have this moment.

The moment when the human setting collapses.

Magician's HIV virus, Jordan's 1993, Kobe's 2003, James' 2011 Any star who wants to establish a perfect image will mess up his image because of something.

This year has been a season of image collapse for Howard.

When Howard entered the league in 2004, he was only a 19-year-old high school student, but his personality at that time had already caught up with the famous Lakers-AC Green who had sealed himself with a big bird for 16 years for his physical and mental health.

Howard, who was born in a choir, is an extremely devout Christian. He has every reason to believe in God. He was even canonized as the "Son of God" by the scouts who watched him grow up.

This makes Howard's biggest dream when he enters the league is to add a cross to the league's iconic villain.

With no million dollars in his account and no throngs of women of childbearing age queuing at the door, Howard said he enjoys chatting with people who don't have faith and wants them to gain faith if given the chance.

Howard said what he said, he did communicate with many women who have no faith in many ways and deeply, and saved their lives. In the end, official statistics show that Howard and 5 different women had 5 illegitimate children.If one of them had not died unexpectedly, these things would not have been exposed.

In some unverified versions of legends, Howard’s data on illegitimate children has been expanded to 8×8. In fact, more than half of women under the age of 30 in the United States are unmarried and give birth first, and this number will jump to 70% among black women.

Of course, as a person who is proud of his skin color, he must not only engage in women of his own ethnicity, but also women of other ethnicities.Thus, Howard also contributed to the unmarried first pregnancy rate of 21% for white women and 41% for Latino women.

But after all, private life is just an after-dinner conversation, and basketball fans pay more attention to court performance.Basically, Howard ruined a team in just one month of the lockout season.

In December last year, Howard made two trade applications.

In the trading rumor area, Howard has a relationship with 29 other teams in the league in turn, like a man who stretches and shrinks and stretches and shrinks. After rumors with all the teams, he suddenly doesn't want to be traded.

He attributes his decision to "I'm loyal."

"While a championship is what I want most, the love of Orlando and the fans is my first consideration."

How touching, but not many people like him.

Some people say that because of Howard's operation, he made James' image look better.

Next, Howard repeatedly stomped his decision to the ground and repeatedly smashed his decision, reaffirming his loyalty to the city and his desire to stay in the Magic.

Even a stone girl might be flooded by such repeated teasing, the Magic naturally listened to the deals of the teams with trembling hands.

Yahoo reporter WOJ became famous in this incident, almost every time he gets news one step ahead.

Howard wanted to go.

Howard didn't want to leave again.

Howard wanted to leave but had something to hide, so he decided to play for another year.

Before the trade deadline, the decisive moment came: Howard decided not to go.

Even the owner of the Magic was alarmed. He had a long talk with Howard, saying that Howard is a very good young man. He just didn't know that what he did now would make him regret when he got old.

Then things calmed down for a while for the Magic.

But the chemical reaction, the tacit understanding, the player's perception of Howard, the team's attitude towards him, and his tactical status. All have undergone tremendous changes.

The Magic made it all the way to the playoffs, and their record did not match their own lineup at all.

Howard can be said to be the second most influential player in the league, second only to James.With such a superstar at his peak, he only reached No. 7 in the low-competitive East, which is direct evidence that this team is divided from top to bottom.

Now, what the 76ers will meet in the first round of the playoffs is such a team.

The 76ers' first-round opponent last year was also the Magic.

But this year is different from last year. The Magic's combat power is a mystery.

If Howard and the team have a good understanding, they are the best team in the league to protect the rim and avoid fouls.They are also the best team in the league to protect backboards.They also own the league's second-best [-]-pointers.Wade, James, and Kobe Bryant all performed below average during the regular season playing Magic, but Weisha was fine, because Howard would always ask for the ball as if he had lost his IQ when he met him.However, the magic's containment of superstars is still not to be underestimated.

Then, the most dramatic scene came.

Howard: I can't recite well, you guys have fun, I won't accompany you.

At first, several players on the Magic team suspected that Howard was suspected of fraud.

Then, Watkins, a spinal surgeon from Los Angeles, conducted a detailed examination of Howard and was diagnosed with a back hernia.At that time, doctors advised him to inject drugs to relieve pain, and then see if further treatment is needed.Unexpectedly, his injury worsened day by day. In the end, Watkins and the magic medical team reached a consensus that surgery was necessary.

The Magic announced that Howard would be reimbursed for the season, which made the 76ers lose pressure to advance in the first round.

Without Howard's magic, there is almost no threat, and the truth hurts, but it is the truth.

Game1 starts in Philadelphia

The Magic generals also wanted to activate Ewing's Law from Howard, and they came to a core to reimburse themselves but performed bravely, dreaming of defeating the 76ers in the spring and autumn.

Howard didn't play, and Cousins ​​faced Glenn Davis and JJ Hickson, both of which were pocket insiders who were not strong enough to resist him.

In the first game, Cousins ​​scored 32 points and 15 rebounds. He played happily and scored 7 assists. He walked off the court happily.

7 assists is also the single-game assist record of his playoff career.

"Wish has always encouraged me to be myself, I play so well thanks to him!"

The last time Cousins ​​credited his teammates for his outstanding performance was in college.

Although it is an inconspicuous small step, it is a big step for Cousins ​​​​from a bad boy to a sensible one.

As for when to come out next, it depends on luck.

Losing a burst of Magic still feels good.

"Big baby" Davis said with joy: "We will not back down just because someone doesn't fight. Or, on the contrary, we will fight to the end because of this. No matter who is absent, it will make us stronger. Please look forward to it, we will definitely hand in a satisfactory answer sheet!"

The most confident point of the Magic is their inside defense.

That was once.

When Howard was there, they had the least number of fouls per 40 minutes in the league, because they missed people from the outside, so Howard naturally helped to check for gaps and make up for gaps.

Now that Howard is away, they need their own initiative.

Game2
Wei Xia and Cousins ​​​​take turns to turn their backs. As long as they are in position, the peripheral players will pass the ball to them, and then increase the frequency of air cuts.

Wei Xia and Cousins ​​​​can choose to play singles, or attract double-teams to transfer to the outside shot, or pass to teammates who cut inside to attack the basket.

This is basically the 76ers' positional starting move.

Therefore, the 76ers are one of the teams with the most post-ups and the most in-cut free throws among all teams.In terms of lethality of free throws, it ranks second in the league, second only to the youthful and unlimited Thunder.

Tonight, the Magic's help defense suffered a felony, and they couldn't cope with the flood of penetration from their opponents.

At this time, someone remembered Howard's kindness. I'm afraid that person has already finished his last game wearing a Magic jersey.

The Magic lost the first two games of the series.

Anyone else come out to cheer?

some.

Veteran Jason Richardson said: "The 76ers did what they should do on their home court, and now it's our turn. We also have to defend our home court!"

Wishes are good, but they are difficult to realize.

Game3
Wei Xia had a touch at the beginning, because he was seeking a low-post offense and gave Cousins ​​a lot of low-post space.

Cousins ​​and Wei Xia, one from the outside and the other from the inside, the Magic lost control on both sides and collapsed.

3 is better than 0
Basically, the series between the 76ers and the Magic went like this.

The 76ers are about to complete the record of eliminating the Magic from the playoffs for two consecutive years.

And this time, it may completely change the future direction of Magic.

Without Howard, it is impossible for the Magic to beat the 76ers. After winning three games in a row, even if Howard comes back with full blood, it will not help.

What may be more important than whether the fourth game can win back his dignity is where Howard will go in the summer.

It is safe for the time being.

Howard said that he is a loyal person. Although he had an affair with 29 teams and vaguely showed envy for James, fans still want to believe that he is a loyal person.

Before the fourth game, experts began to warm up for the semifinals between the 76ers and the Heat.

The ownership of the MVP will also be announced during the semifinals.

Judging from the current situation, Wei Xia has a great chance.

His record is better than James and Durant. Rose has already won it once. This year's record and personal data are not outstanding. Moreover, he suffered a torn ACL in the first round.

The Bulls have basically lost their competitiveness, and there are only two powerhouses in the Eastern Conference. The Celtics are pretending to be pigs and eating tigers, and the Thunder seem to use their talents to throw the old men in the Western Conference into the dustbin of history like the autumn wind sweeps away the fallen leaves.
