The NBA's opening sling against Chris Paul

Chapter 84

Just when the two sides were biting each other fiercely, Spoelstra made a timeout and made a substitution, which stunned the audience.

Zhu Wan said that Howard's appearance drew applause from the audience.

"Wow, this guy must be [-] this year, right? Can he still run? You know, he is an inside player, and Zach is directly facing him." Alan Houston mocked.

"Come on, I wish you could shoot like your mouth," Scottie Pippen cut him off.

Yes, audience friends, you read that right, that Howard, the younger generation of friends have hardly heard of it, this buddy was also an ancient beast back then.

The star center of the Washington Bullets back then, he signed the league's first billion-dollar contract.

霍华德在子弹队迅速成为内线得力干将，其中1995-96赛季打出场均22.1分、8.1个篮板和4.4次助攻的出色数据，入选全明星赛和常规赛第三阵容。

He became a free agent in the summer of 1996, and the Washington Bullets offered Howard a seven-year, $7 million contract extension.However, the Heat offered a seven-year $8900 million contract.This is robbing people with a clear code, and it can make the magic operator look at it, which shows that its strength is extraordinary.

Pat Riley is very fond of Juwan Howard. He hopes that Howard and Mourning will join forces to form a terrifying inside line. With Tim Hardaway in the backcourt, the lineup structure looks very good.Howard was also happy to defect to Riley, and the two sides signed a contract.

However, the Bullets then sued the Heat to the league and asked for arbitration. They believed that if the Heat gave the contract, it would exceed the salary cap, so the contract was invalid.The Heat miscalculated the salary space. They did not include the bonuses of Tim Hardaway and PJ Brown in the total salary, nor did they include the adjusted salary after reaching an agreement with Mourning.The league eventually declared the contract void.

Riley was very dissatisfied. He originally wanted to file a lawsuit, but the league threatened to fine the Heat $500 million and suspend Riley for one season.That's all, I won't play anymore, I can't make free throws.

Riley failed to get Howard, but it was tantamount to helping Howard increase his worth.Howard finally renewed his contract with the Bullets for 7 million US dollars in 1.05 years, becoming the No.1 with a contract of [-] million US dollars.

不过成为亿元先生的霍华德再也没能打出1995-96赛季的华丽数据，他的职业生涯也就那个赛季达到场均得分20+。霍华德很长一段时间变成了高薪低能的代表。2001-02赛季他球队交易到小牛，随后在掘金、魔术之间辗转。

Since he joined the Rockets and became teammates with Dayao in the 04 season, Howard's life has been colored again. Chinese fans even affectionately call him Uncle Huo, and he has worked hard in the Rockets for three seasons.

It's a pity that due to age and injuries, he eventually became a homeless man in the league, and he played for the Nuggets, Heat and even the Charlotte Bobcats one after another...

Hey, years, a long sigh.

Sure enough, the Grizzlies' ball came to Zach Randolph's hands again, and Howard pushed him with all his strength.

"I guess, this ball Zach will definitely choose to dunk to end it." Alan Houston said.

Randolph vigorously dribbled the ball and squeezed in. Just when everyone felt sorry for Uncle Huo and couldn't bear to watch any more, he retreated. Randolph fell down and the ball went out of bounds.

Withdraw the stool to defend, the old bird is still the old bird, there is always a way to deal with you! !
"This ball... Well, Zach was too careless and got his way." Houston still kept his mouth unforgiving.

The Heat's possession of the ball, LeBron took it to the center line to Wade, Wade took a step and then suddenly gave it to Howard in the bottom corner.

Uncle Huo glanced at the basket, and then at Randolph. Randolph didn't seem to want to pull it out. He smiled slightly and raised his hand to hit a mid-range shot.

"Although I'm not in the arena, there are still legends about my brother in the arena!!" The shot forced Hollins to call a timeout.

Yes, there was a mistake on the offensive end, and the defensive end was targeted again. Hollins decided to remove Randolph. Spoelstra, didn't you replace Howard?

There is no need to use your first-class horse to touch the opponent's third-class horse, just let Zach come down to rest, and save the fourth quarter to fight with them.

From the owner to the coach of the Heat, the players have a good relationship with Howard, and they can also be said to be his fans. After all, Howard has worked hard for so many years without any negative news. If it weren't for injuries, his achievements would be even greater.

Of the Michigan Five Tigers back then, only he and Chris Webber were worthwhile, and the remaining three were also lost to everyone.

Guy and Li Ming kept passing the ball to each other on the upper line, and Arthur suddenly cut to the inside line and stretched out his right hand.

Guy smashed a pass into Arthur's hand, well, it's time to start exerting strength. Although Arthur didn't have the size of Randolph, he was full of impact. After continuous shaking, the elegant jump shot didn't hit the frame.

Also, Howard kept his legs against his waist, and he couldn't really exert his strength, so he could only avoid throwing the ball.

Gay got the rebound, he chose to take the ball outside to reorganize the offense, LeBron patted his head and started to get serious.

"Come on, Rudy, don't pass the ball, come on, let's decide the outcome with me head-on." LeBron kept yelling at Gay.

However, Guy was smart this time, and maybe it was because he had been sitting on the bench for a long time. He made a fake pass and passed it to Li Ming who was outside. Li Ming chose to shoot a three-pointer directly. The shot was too fast. Defensively, the angle was increased deliberately, and it was off course.

The rebound was grabbed by Juwan Howard, and there were two people standing beside James. He could only show a dribble by himself, and dexterously brought the ball across the half court, yes, like a guard.

The fans at the Heat's home court became restless, and they kept shouting "Zhu Wan, Zhu Wan, Zhu Wan..."

"Go ahead, go inside and ravage them."

"Kill the Memphis with your shot."

"Zhu Wan, I want to give birth to a son for you... I want to have a bunch of children with you, Zhu Wan," a middle-aged female fan shouted, her heart-piercing appearance was captured on the big screen at the scene.

This lady may be his fan in college, the commentator said quietly.

Howard tightened his chrysanthemum and gave the ball to Wade on the side. Wade broke through at high speed, and when he reached the edge of the penalty area, he suddenly chose to pass the ball back to Howard, who was in a better position.

71 to 73, Howard lived up to expectations and succeeded in the middle distance again. It can be seen that although he has not lost the work in his hands as he grows older, the touch is still as smooth as ever, just like his 20-year-old appearance.
