Travel back to be a superstar

Chapter 208

On this day, the Lakers took a special plane and bus to the Time Warner Cable Arena in Charlotte to challenge the Hornets away.

Warming up before the game, Jiang Dashan met Howard, the former No. [-] center.

Personally speaking, Jiang Dashan has no dislike for Howard, but more regret and regret.Howard is known for his dunks, his strong body, and, yes, his innocent smile.

Howard likes to laugh like a child, which has directly become a point of criticism for him-he has no positive heart!
However, looking at Howard's experience, we know that he is not without a competitive heart, he just doesn't like to express it.

If he doesn't work hard, he will basically face retirement. Then, who will raise his 7 illegitimate children!

Howard came to Jiang Dashan on the court and asked Jiang Dashan to take a photo, "J, hello! I am Howard, and I was also a member of the Lakers, although that experience is a bit regrettable! I like China and am very happy to play with you! I think we can take a selfie!"

"Okay!" The two took a photo together!
And this photo also became the starting point for the birth of the Lakers dynasty.Many years later, the old Howard was asked why he was willing to cut his salary to join the Lakers in 2018. He replied, "Because there is a short man that everyone in the world is rushing to! Just like LeBron James. One is in the East and the other is in the West. Everyone is willing to play with them! And I prefer to be in the West!"

Of course, this is something.

. . .

"This is CCTV Sports Channel, I'm Yang Yi!"

"I'm Su Qun, and I welcome the audience and friends to watch today's game. Today, I will send the Lakers away to challenge the Hornets."

"The game is about to start! The starting lineup for the Lakers is still Lonzo, Jiang Dashan, Ingram, Kuzma and Lopez. Ingram hasn't felt good all season. I don't know if there will be a breakthrough in the game!"

"The Hornets start here, point guard Kemba Walker, shooting guard Nick Batum, small forward Michael Kidd Gilchrist, power forward Marvin Williams, and center Dwight Howard. The Lakers may encounter a sniper today. The Hornets have a good record, and all of this is because they got Howard! Howard is indeed almost reborn in the Hornets! Walker is not as sticky as Kobe or Harden, and prefers to pass the ball. In almost every game, with Walker’s assists, he completes more than 3 lob dunks! In a word, Howard is happy! The happy Howard is not only strong on the offensive end, but his defensive level has also risen several notches! He averaged 13.3 rebounds per game, second in the league, second only to Jordan; he averaged 2.9 blocks per game, first in the league!

"Today, I think it's just a point of view. Can Howard give Jiang Dashan a few hats like the great Embiid! I just want to ask, are there any fans who have the same mentality as me!" Xiang Yi gloated.

"Yes!" The fans swiped the barrage, "I'm just waiting to see Howard cover my ginger cap!" "Haha! Although I don't like Howard very much, but if you dare to cover, I will dare to follow you!". . .

The game started, Howard and Lopez jumped the ball.

Howard showed the strength of a dominant center as soon as he came up.

The first is to help the team get the first ball.Then, he came out to pick and roll for Walker. After the pick and roll, he went straight to the basket. After Walker broke through, he directly threw the ball to Howard to send an assist.

"Wow, Howard is really back to the top! He averaged 8.5 shots per game, scored 18.2 points, 13.3 rebounds and 2.9 blocks. It was an alley-oop dunk! Exciting!" Su Qun praised.

The Lakers attacked, Lonzo broke through the middle to score the ball, and Ingram missed a layup, but the ball fell from a relatively outside angle and flew directly into Jiang Dashan's hands.Encountered Howard's siege!

It is worthy of being the league's first center, averaging 2.9 blocks per game!Judgment is very good, Howard did not provoke immediately, but slowed down a little for 0.5 seconds, took off, and stretched out his hand late, almost at the same time as Jiang Dashan pulled the bar to shoot.

"My God, what did you just say, can Howard overtake Jiang Dashan! Just one! Hahaha! Beautiful!" Yang Yi smiled arrogantly, as if Jiang Dashan was his enemy, delighting everyone!

"My God, you're like a wolf like a tiger! Howard!" The fans followed up with a wave of barrage! "666666!" "One more!". . .

But fortunately, the referee whistled Howard for a thug foul.

And Howard also reached out his hand immediately after landing, and pulled up Jiang Dashan who had fallen to the ground.

"Good job J!"

"You're good too! Howard!"

Made two free throws!The score came to 2 to 2.

At 3 minutes and 20 seconds of the first quarter, Walker turned inside and played Lopez with his back under the basket. Howard squeezed Lonzo away and came to the basket in two steps from the baseline. Walker threw it behind him without looking at people. Howard dunked again.

But Howard lit up his muscles after landing and did not return to defense in time.

The Lakers went straight to the fast break.

Kuzma took the ball, Lonzo went straight to the basket, Jiang Dashan and Ingram cut in from the two wings respectively, and the frontcourt was 5 against 4.

"Ingram made an air cut layup and missed! But Howard was still at the center line, haha! I was so funny! Lopez got the rebound! Jiang Dashan came to the left corner at this time! Open! Catch the ball for a three-pointer! Shot! This ball is entirely Howard's fault! Just reached the center line, turned around and ran to the Lakers basket again! Really, it's unspeakably funny! Howard himself couldn't help laughing!" Yang Yi and Su Qun laughed together.

At 5 and a half minutes, Jiang Dashan broke through the basket from the bottom line and scored, helping the Lakers to a 12-12 tie.

However, when Jiang Dashan landed, he sprained his left foot. Although it looked fine, Wharton still called a timeout, replaced Jiang Dashan with Clarkson, and then asked the team doctor to check Jiang Dashan in the locker room.

"It is now 10 minutes and 11 seconds of the first quarter. Dashan came out of the locker room and looked in a good mood. He should be fine! I'm so worried!" Yang Yi explained.

Su Qun continued, "However, when Dashan was off the court, the Lakers had a bit of difficulty on the offensive end because they lacked a sharp breakthrough point. They were beaten by the Hornets 16-8. Now the Lakers are 20-28 behind by 8 points. I don't know when Walton will let Dashan play."

After the first quarter, the Lakers trailed 26 to 36 by 10 points.Walker was 5 of 3, with 8 points and 4 assists; Howard was 4 of 4, all of which came from Walton's assists, and all of them were lobs. He scored 8 points, 6 rebounds and 1 block.
At the beginning of the second quarter, Jiang Dashan played again, but Wharton also made adjustments at the same time. The other players were Bogut playing center, Lopez power forward, Ingram small forward, and Kuzma playing points!
At the start of the game, Jiang Dashan organized the offense with the ball.When he came to the top of the arc, he beckoned Bogut to come out to pick and roll.Running over, Howard made up the defense, Jiang Dashan made a low single with his back to the basket, and made two tops!Howard was pushed back two steps!

"My God, you are so strong!" Howard was surprised!

"Concentrate, I'm going to shoot!" Jiang Dashan turned around with his left foot as the axis, stepped back and leaned back 45 degrees, and shot two points from close range!Although Howard jumped up and tried to block the shot at the first time, Jiang Dashan retreated far away, completely out of Howard's defensive distance.

28 to 36, recovering two points.

Howard gave Jiang Dashan a thumbs up while running to the frontcourt to settle down.

Jiang Dashan responded with his eyes!
"What's the situation! Howard and Jiang Dashan are flirting with each other!" Yang Yi looked incredible!

"These two didn't meet, did they? When did it happen?" Su Qun also questioned, "Hey, it seems that the two of them got on because of today's game! The Lakers will definitely leave Luol Deng next year, and Lopez will also be traded in all likelihood. After all, he can't afford tactical status! Bogut is more appropriate to start. What is Howard thinking?"

Wall broke through with the ball at the top of the arc and gave the ball to Batum. Batum, who is 2 meters 03, faced Jiang Dashan and directly made a three-pointer with the ball in a high position!
but!

When Batum held the ball in both hands and raised it to shoot, Jiang Dashan slapped the ball away just as he raised the knife to his chest!

Fast attack!

Jiang Dashan ran forward with the ball directly from the right wing!Kuzma and Ingram supported from the center and left wing respectively.It directly caused Williams to give up his defense and Jiang Dashan hit a layup.

30 is better than 36!
