NBA money-spending system sparks jealousy among female celebrities.

Chapter 290 Madness! "Flame God" vs. "Warcraft", a Forced Showdown!

In this era where three-pointers are not yet the main theme.

Attacking the basket is the mainstream offensive strategy for all teams.

Dwight Howard, standing under the basket, will surely be able to unleash his powerful defensive talent.

This is one of the reasons why he can be called the "best center in the league".

But now... even though he is extremely intimidating under the basket, his position around the basket is also very good.

Their defense was also extremely focused.

But with no one going to the basket and no one attacking it, he was truly helpless, like a mere errand boy standing under the basket!

"Ha~"

Kenny Smith also chuckled and remarked, "Dwight Howard has DPOY-level defensive ability, but he can't utilize it."

This is terrible.

The magicians must be very anxious; they urgently need to find a way to get out of this predicament!

in a hurry.

The magician was too hasty.

With their outside three-pointers failing to find a way to break through, Dwight Howard's formidable inside defense was rendered ineffective.

The opponent's "twin stars" couldn't stop their three-pointers.

The first quarter is over.

The Knicks are already leading by 9 points, with the difference approaching double digits. How can the Magic not be anxious?

They are desperate to change the status quo!

Next section.

First, there was a match between the substitutes.

The cycle lasts 3 minutes and 42 seconds.

Pietrus and Gortat stepped up, contributing both inside and outside to help the team narrow the 9-point deficit to 6.

"Beep!"

Coach D'Antoni called a timeout.

Both teams' starting lineups have returned.

"Shh!"

Su Yan immediately pushed Matt Barnes aside in another confrontation, took a step back, and launched a three-pointer.

A combination of violence and elegance.

Cold-blooded hit.

Unfortunately... this time he rushed in a bit too hard, which caused him to step on the line after retreating, resulting in a long two-pointer.

The score is only 2 points.

But its deterrent effect remains significant.

"How can it be so accurate!"

Matt Barnes was somewhat devastated.

Carter's face was extremely grim. "I didn't even have time to try and make a save; Su Yan's three-pointer was both fast and accurate!"

"Yes."

Nelson was also horrified, "Three-pointers using screens, three-pointers from off-ball movement, or even forced three-pointers with the ball, etc."

Su Yan has too many ways to shoot three-pointers.

And it always manages to hit its target; its efficiency is terrifying. It's really too troublesome to deal with!

indeed.

Su Yan's [Max Level Three-Point Strike] is just that terrifying in terms of destructive power.

However, the Magic's weak perimeter defense is also a factor.

If we keep fighting like this, we'll suffer another defeat tonight.

Under the basket, Dwight Howard, the "beast," repeatedly assumed a defensive stance, preparing to protect the rim and block shots.

But it's of no use.

Too many times, I could only stand there under the basket, watching the spinning basketball pierce the net, and then... I had to run back and forth.

"Something's not right, the rhythm of this game is off!"

Howard growled.

Feeling extremely frustrated, he gradually became irritable and quite unhappy.

"How annoying!"

Magic head coach Stan Van Gundy also looked exasperated, saying, "No, no, the Knicks' three-point shooting is too accurate."

We absolutely cannot let them keep throwing like this.

No matter what means are used, even if the point difference widens further, we must force Su Yan into the paint and make him match up against Howard.

Let the monsters teach him a lesson.

Only by suppressing Su Yan can we have a chance to launch a counterattack and turn the game around!

Think of this.

A glint of madness flashed in his eyes, and he immediately called a timeout, telling the players: "At all costs, lock down Su Yan on the perimeter and force him into the paint!!!"

"clear."

"Understood, Commander!"

The Magic players agreed.

Carter narrowed his eyes. "To push us to this point, Su Yan, among all the undrafted players I know, I would call you the strongest!!!"

Pause back.

When Su Yan received the ball again at the right edge of the arc, Matt Barnes, Wilson Chandler, and Lewis were on the ball.

They all rushed up.

The three men surrounded and forced their way in.

Su Yan remained calm and passed the ball to Wilson Chandler in the low post on the right side before the double team fully formed.

Get the ball and you're in an open position.

Someone's going to chase after the magician, right?

No.

Nobody was chasing them.

Leave Wilson Chandler open; if he can hit a long two-pointer or a three-pointer, the Magic will accept it.

Wilson?!

He raised his hand and fired a mid-range shot.

"Bang!"

That's really not very helpful.

"Only by forging iron can I have a chance to shine!"

Howard roared with excitement as he leaped high into the air, first setting the basketball in his hands.

A second jump.

Protect the backboard.

Give the ball to Nelson to advance, bring it to the frontcourt, don't rush into a fast break, wait for Howard to get into position before attacking.

Su Yan's defense is very strong.

The Magic completely avoided him; the players Su Yan was guarding would never attack, no matter how good the opportunity was.

Keep passing the ball.

Doing this might not give you a great chance in the end, but it's still better than shooting under Su Yan's defense.

"Bang!"

Carter missed a three-pointer from the corner.

It's ok.

Even if the shot misses, it's okay. As long as we can contain Su Yan on the offensive end, that's good news.

Offensive and defensive transition.

Su Yan had just received the ball when he was once again surrounded by three players on the outside, making it impossible for him to force a three-pointer.

Pass the ball?

The teammates were really nervous; they weren't used to this kind of stage yet, except for Curry who was a little better.

But Nelson kept staring at him.

In short, the Magic went crazy, leaving Wilson alone and letting David Lee and Tyson get the ball to isolate Howard.

Su Yan and Curry, three-pointers are prohibited.

This situation persisted for a little over four minutes in the second quarter.

Wilson was able to hit some open shots, and David Lee and Tyson also scored in the paint.

but.

The Magic undoubtedly played better and with more composure.

The deficit was as high as 9 points, but with 4 minutes left in the second quarter, they narrowed it to just 2 points, a difference of only one possession.

"Ok?"

Su Yan narrowed his eyes. "Looks like they really aren't planning to give me any chances and force me to break through and attack the basket?!"

Two points less?

Or do you... think I can't break through "Superman" Howard's defense?!

However, since he can't shoot three-pointers right now, he can't keep passing the ball to teammates who aren't good enough.

I still need to launch a strong attack.

"Then, as you wish: Breakthrough!!!"

Next round.

After Curry pushed the ball over, he passed it to Su Yan, Matt Barnes, Carter, and Lewis at the top of the key.

They launched another encirclement and suppression.

The goal is simple and straightforward: Don't shoot three-pointers, don't shoot three-pointers, don't shoot three-pointers.

Su Yan's gaze sharpened, and this time he didn't intend to pass the ball: "Since you're blocking my three-pointers, since you've forced me to move so far forward."

"Then...it should be easy to break through!"

The idea fell.

With his center of gravity low, he suddenly dropped the ball the instant he grabbed it with his right hand, pushed off the ground, and accelerated forward.

All of a sudden.

He drove past Matt Barnes, who was closest to him, and immediately ran into Carter and Lewis.

The speed remains unchanged.

Before the two could close in, he threw the basketball forward, maximizing his speed with the [Swiftness lv1] enhancement.

Take advantage of every opportunity.

Su Yan burst through the gap between the two players, dribbled past three others, and drove straight to the basket.

Very handsome?

The God's-eye view is indeed very cool.

Carter and his two teammates remained calm and composed, showing no signs of panic, after all... this was part of their defensive strategy!
