"Warcraft" Howard, the man who could replace James alone at the peak, blocked the league's most anticipated 23VS24 in the '09 East Finals.

After that, Howard officially became the league's No. 1 center (although he was blown up every time he met Yao Ming), and his status skyrocketed.

The Magic also have a super interior player again after O'Neal.

However, fate is always strikingly similar, O'Neal resolutely went to the big city of Los Angeles after spending his rookie period (rookie contract period) with the Magic, and then teamed up with coach "fake monk" Phil Jackson and the potential guard Kobe Bryant at the time, and completed three consecutive championships in the Lakers to reach the peak!

The same goes for Howard, after Orlando couldn't see any hope of winning the championship, this guy also left the city that nurtured him, and also came to Los Angeles, and also teamed up with Kobe!

Moreover, when he teamed up with Kobe, he still came with the name of "No. 1 center", and the Lakers' lineup was much better than when O'Neal came! (Referring to the ability value in 2K13, Howard 96 center first, Kobe Bryant 93 and Wade tied for first point guard, Nash 88, Gasol 86)

But this powerful lineup was beaten by the Spurs last season, especially in the first round of the playoffs, the Spurs directly swept the Lakers!

Moreover, Howard has been injured in the Lakers, and the "New Four Kings" have played no more than 20 games together in a season, and the Lakers' record is really not good. Coupled with the basketball philosophy disagreement with Kobe, Howard was not happy with the Lakers for a year.

But after coming to the Rockets, it was different, when Howard came to the Rockets, many outstanding centers in the history of the Rockets came to congratulate him, seeing him as a kind of center inheritance.

And Harden is a fun-loving person, there are not too many conflicts between him and Howard (not yet), although Howard's status in McHale's tactical system has declined a little, but the team can win, and Howard's current average of 19+12 per game is also a first-class center's data!

So now the atmosphere in the Rockets is good, and Howard likes it too.

……

The referee signaled that the two teams could start the game, and the starters of both teams began to enter.

The Spurs' three young men, Gadio and Maddy, this "new troika" with various people has become a regular operation for Popovich.

On the Rockets' side, the "Morden" duo, small front Parsons, point guard Jeremy Lin, and big forward are still Jones.

Whiteside and Howard stand in the center circle ready to jump.

The two men stood together, and from the side, Howard was a little shorter, but he was noticeably stronger, especially his arms, the muscles on which were bulging as if they were embedded in two volleyballs.

"Tick-"

The referee blew the whistle and threw the ball high into the air.

"Up!"

The two big black men instantly rose into the air, Howard had a much better back injury in the Rockets this year, and now his physical function is not as fierce as it was during the total victory, but at least he has about eighty percent of his skills.

And Whiteside is approaching his peak, and now this guy is a physical monster, as long as it involves physical work, he will not instigate anyone.

Both of them jumped with all their might, and at the same time stretched out their arms, at this time, I have to say that a little bit of Whiteside is useful, and it is this little bit that makes him point the ball first!

Although the direction of the ball is not too good, it is enough for Maddie on the Spurs' side, with a long arm stretched, he stopped the ball directly in mid-air!

"Hold steady."

Maddie shouted in her mouth to stabilize the rhythm, but the movement of her hands was very fast, and she pushed the ball directly to the basket with both hands after half court!

Jeremy Lin feels that Alexander, who has suffered for a long time in height, is now Maddie actually playing like this with the first ball, how can he defend it?

"Empty pick-up, empty pick-up!"

The bearded Harden, who was entangled with Qin Yan, shouted at the top of his voice, I have to say that Harden is really talented in passing......

After Whiteside jumped the ball, he quickly rushed inside, estimating that the time was almost up and he took off, and he saw clearly the look that Maddie gave him after jumping the ball just now, this ball Maddie wants to let himself relay in the air!

Reaching out in the air, Whiteside grabbed the flying basketball accurately, and then bent his body into a big bow in the air, and he was about to smash the ball into the basket!

"Don't even think about it!"

A black figure suddenly appeared in front of him, and then Whiteside felt a strong force coming from the front, and the ball in his hand almost flew out of his hand!

Howard! At this time, this guy is the only one who has the ability to block Whiteside's dunk of this level!

Seeing Howard's hideous expression, he then raised his two big hands high, and blocked Whiteside's dunk with a movement like a volleyball blocking!

Although he didn't take the cap down directly, Whiteside finally couldn't hold the ball in his hand under Howard's continuous power interference, and the basketball flew away!

"Mine!"

At this time, Leonard, who was fast and killed, jumped high and just caught the ball in the air, and Leonard shot directly without waiting for him to land!

"What are you kidding?"

As soon as Howard landed here, when he saw that Leonard was about to score this goal from the air, he suddenly felt that he was being despised by him, he twisted his body with amazing speed, and with a strong foot, he immediately jumped again, and then waved out his big hand mercilessly!

"Smack!"

Leonard's shot was a little slow, and before the ball flew to the highest point, Howard caught up, and this slap directly flew the ball out!

"Drink—"

After Howard landed, he beat his chest domineeringly and roared, dare to be presumptuous in front of me? Is it really the super center "Warcraft" who won the best defensive player and the king of blocks that year?

Or is it that after the back injury, I haven't let these people see my domineering for too long?

The Spurs took the throw-in, and now they have just five seconds to attack because of Howard's block.

Qin Yan was entangled by Harden, although the defense of this 200-pound dead fat man has always been ridiculed as "eye defense", but if he gets serious, it is not so easy to get rid of, you must know that Harden's physical test data is not lost to Wade! There is still no problem with a healthy Wade entangled Qin Yan.

Maddie could only catch the ball and hurriedly step back to shoot, but he didn't feel it at the beginning, and the ball hit the neck of the basket and flew out.

"My rebounds!"

Howard, who dominated the inside line, jumped high, two long arms stretched out, and his big hands turned into two big pliers, clamping the basketball tightly, and Whiteside was stuck behind him, although he also stretched out a hand, but he did not have the advantage in strength and failed to grab the ball.

After all, Howard has been playing in the league for almost ten years, and his experience and skills in the card position are indeed not comparable to the current Whiteside.

Warcraft is still that Warcraft, in the absence of Duncan, Spurs, how to deal with him?
