Basketball injuries only make me stronger

Chapter 381 Official Announcement, Happy Happy Beast

"The Hornets are hitting their 20th consecutive victory, but before that, two big news had to be broadcast in advance."

Howard was having sex with his girlfriend while watching the news on TV.

"First of all, the first news... Well, not good news for the Hornets and all the Hornets fans...Marc Gasol is going to miss a month or two because of a sprained ankle. Obviously, this will have a huge impact on the current Hornets roster."

"If the first news is just surprising, then the second news will definitely shock your jaw!"

Howard had to stop and looked at the TV suspiciously.

"The Hornets officially announced that Lian Feng will replace Gasol Jr. to play at the 5th position!"

Immediately, Howard's eyes widened, and he burst out laughing after a while.

The girlfriend asked suspiciously, "What happened?"

"I saw the funny news." Howard said nonchalantly
She stared at the TV for a long time, but didn't understand why the news was so funny.

And Howard was not in the mood to enter and exit the game at all at this time. He quickly turned over and got up, found the mobile phone from the messy pile of clothes, and then called the coach.

"Hey coach, have you heard that Lian Feng is going to play center! Hahahaha, I'm dying of laughter. Yes, haven't you watched it yet? ESPN interview, you have to go and watch it right away, or go directly to ESPN's website. I think your tactics and routines that you prepared in the early stage won't work... Lian Feng went to play the fifth position, against me. I really can't figure it out, which guy came up with the idea... I have to laugh for a while..."

The happy happy beast went to take a bath, then threw himself on the bed, thinking about the next game, he was a little happy.

In fact, in the past time, the Hornets have almost gone through the entire league.Neither the Cavaliers nor the Celtics can stop the progress of the Hornets.At this time, no matter which team it is, it is difficult not to fear the Hornets.

The next game is the home of the Magic, to meet the first challenge of the Hornets this season.To be honest, before today, Howard was under tremendous pressure.

He thought hard for a long time, but he couldn't figure out how to defeat this wasp.

In today's league, he is most afraid of two teams, one is the Rockets.Because that giant oriental beast was too strong, the healthy Yao Ming couldn't win at all... Every time he played against Yao Ming, he was always pressed to the ground and rubbed against him from all sides.Another team to fear is the Hornets.

The reason why they are afraid of even the Hornets is because facing the Hornets, their advantages cannot be brought into play at all.

Howard knows his strengths better than anyone.

defense.The paint area is his territory, and no one can show off his power there except Yao Ming.He can average 20+12+2.6 horror data per game.To be honest, if there is no Yao Ming, he thinks he is the number one center in the league.

But the disadvantages are also obvious. His scoring methods are limited to: fast break dunks, lob dunks, two-handed dunks after catching offensive rebounds, dunks after receiving breakthrough points...he was once defended by Cliff Robinson, who was twice his age, and only scored 1 point in a single game...and this process only used one trick: "squat down, get stuck in the waist, and he can't turn around."

On the defensive end, his defensive range cannot radiate beyond the long two points.Therefore, facing the Hornets' plot, he thought countless times: either stay in the penalty area, and then watch the Hornets shoot through the team in the mid-to-long range, or follow Gasol to the high position, and then leave the basket to the opponent.

However, there was a surprise in the news: Gasol was injured, and then double happiness: Lian Feng is going to play center!

Dude, the Hornets broke their own arms.This is a strategy that a little genius came up with.

But yes, Gasol is injured, it seems that only one of Lian Feng and Ibaka can be the center forward, and the height and weight of the others are a bit far away.

But... Even if you use Ibaka, you are better than Lian Feng!
The more Howard thought about it, the happier he became. It seems that the Hornets' winning streak is about to be broken by them!
……

He wanted to play center forward, which once again caused an uproar in the media.

At the press conference, the media asked about it again.He had no choice but to respond: "Why are you all so surprised by this? Are you saying that you forgot about Ben Wallace? He is less than two meters long. Has it made him the most troublesome center forward? And I am no worse than him in terms of weight, height and wingspan. Why are you so surprised?"

It seems very reasonable... Although the reporters felt strange, they couldn't find anything to refute for a while.

Then he was asked some other messy questions, and Lian Feng finally dismissed those reporters.However, it is not surprising that this happens.After all, in this era... they will know soon.

"Last question, do you have any expectations for your new lineup this time?"

"Expectation?" Lian Feng thought for a while, then smiled slightly: "Believe me, this lineup will be a nightmare for other teams in the league...I would like to call it...the death five small lineup!"

……

Before the start of the game, Smith asked Barkley: "Your idol did another surprising thing... How about it? Tell me your opinion, do you think he can defend Howard?"

Barkley snorted and said: "I don't think this is a very outrageous thing. Lianfeng weighs more than 120 kilograms today, and Howard is only that weight. But Lianfeng is shorter than Howard. Do you know what that means? His center of gravity will be lower. Howard's post-up attack will hardly shake Lianfeng."

"But what about the offensive end? It's going to be a pain for the forward to play against Howard, I mean, if the forward plays like a center."

Although Barkley knew that was the case, he still couldn't help rebutting for Lian Feng: "But so what? Why does Lian Feng attack like a center when attacking?"

Smith laughed loudly: "Come on Charles, the team has always had to have a center. Are you trying to say that the Hornets don't need a center when attacking?"

And many viewers in front of the TV watching the game couldn't help laughing after hearing Barkley's words.Although there were already live broadcasts in this era, they were not as developed as later, and live broadcasts in the form of bullet screens still had a prototype in Huaguo, so those viewers ran to Barkley's personal social media to leave comments and ridicule.

With much anticipation, this game between the Hornets and the Magic kicked off.

People looked at the pre-match roster, and the last trace of doubt was dispelled: Lian Feng was indeed No. 5!
