Chapter 731
After N breaths.
This duel arrived.
9:00 PM.
United Center.
There was only half an hour left until the game between the Bulls and the Magic.
Both teams were on the court doing their final warm-ups.
On the Magic side.
Howard's technique as a whole was relatively rough, and his free throws weren't very accurate either.
But his destructive power in the paint was truly too powerful.
Several alley-oop dunks during warm-ups, or his own self-toss-and-dunk, etc.
Every time he worked in the high air, it would make many fans who saw it open their mouths in surprise.
Talent freak.
Howard was definitely a talent freak.
On this foundation, everyone then thought of his explosive performance of 22 points, 15 rebounds, and 5 blocks in the last game.
Everyone unanimously felt that this duel should have something to watch.
Soon.
The real game arrived.
"Jump ball!"
The jump ball between Yao and Howard.
"Hah!"
Yao's gaze focused, he bent his knees, and leaped high; his absolute height advantage made it seem like he would grab the ball and flick it away long before Howard.
However.
He seemed to have underestimated Howard's vertical leap ability.
Although he was half a palm short.
But... Howard's astonishing jump speed and arm span allowed him to catch up to Yao even after falling behind him.
He flicked the ball away before him.
"Whoa~"
The astonishing vertical leap and explosiveness made many fans marvel.
The Magic had the first possession of the game.
"Bang bang bang!"
Nelson pushed the ball over, positioned himself at the arc, not in a hurry to attack at all, watching Howard and Yao fight for position in the paint until Howard successfully fought for position.
"Wow!"
With a high toss, Nelson gave the ball to Howard, who faced Yao's defense after receiving it.
"Bang!"
Continuous physical confrontation, there really wasn't much flashy technique, he just chiseled into the paint. Then... in a situation where the opportunity wasn't that good.
He gathered the ball.
Leaping up like a flat-ground pull-up, almost ignoring Yao's defense right in front of him, what?
Howard scored a very tough offensive basket over Yao, not a poster dunk, but still very tough.
This made the fans further feel the powerful physical talent belonging to the "Beast."
"This physical quality is really good!"
Yao, who was completely eaten alive, couldn't help but sigh, then squinted his eyes, "No matter what, I'm the second-in-command of a championship team, how can I be played like this by a rookie?
No.
I have to play it back!"
So during the change of possession.
Yao asked for the ball in the low post on the left, also playing Howard one-on-one, but... the effect wasn't as desired.
Howard's defense in the paint was still quite considerable.
At the current stage, Yao wanted to eat Howard alive with a hard core; there was an opportunity, but it wasn't like it was every time.
Unfortunately.
It didn't succeed this time.
But Yao wasn't the kind of willful player; if he couldn't attack this time, he would come back next time.
"Wow!"
Yao decisively passed the ball out.
"Hahaha!"
Howard saw Yao couldn't attack and passed the ball, and couldn't help but laugh excitedly, "Is this a championship center? Nothing special!"
Howard laughed very loudly, like a sunny and cheerful big boy!
But at the same time.
The ball Yao passed out was received by Su Yan, who cut in from the free-throw line, what?!
After receiving the ball, he accelerated one step inside the free-throw line and flew up the moment he grabbed the ball.
"What?!"
Howard felt as if his eyes were covered by something, he hurriedly turned to look, and discovered Su Yan already above his head.
His gaze focused.
Just about to leap to block, but it was already too late.
The next instant.
"Boom!"
Su Yan rode on Howard's neck and violently smashed the basketball into the rim!!!
Su Yan posterized Howard!!! ===== CHAPTER 733 =====
