Chapter 215: Howard's Challenge

If Howard, who is less than 19 years old, is a young beast, then 20-year-old Yang Di is a beast that is gradually showing its fangs. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

This made Howard a little unconvinced, he is the champion this year! And Yang Di is just last year's second-round show, the two have different starting points, how can Yang Di, who has only played for a year, be better than him?

So before the game started, Howard held his breath and wanted to beat the Warriors on the Oakland court and surpass Yang Di in statistics.

In the evening, in the arena in Auckland.

Before the start of the game, Yang Di heard the electronic synthesis sound of the system.

"Instant Mission, Howard's Challenge (S-Rating) -- The young champion Xiu challenged the West Coast's fiery host, improved his form by 20 percent, defeated the Magic, blocked Howard three times, and completed three dunks. Task rewards, random rewards for S-level items, and free attributes plus 3. ”

Yang Di was taken aback, the S-level task shows that this task is very difficult!

Also, Howard already has the ability of 12+10+2, an increase of 20%, I am afraid that he will directly enter the S-level category, and the state of the warriors during this time is poor, and it is even more difficult.

He looked at his teammates who were chatting around him, closed his eyes and lowered his head, and entered the system space.

In the space, in addition to Bruce Bowen's training card, Yang Di also has a training card called "Big Heart", and the 100 percent training degree is only 16 percent complete.

This training card was obtained after the killing of the Timberwolves, and it is different from the previous template training card. After completing all 100 per cent of the training, Yang Di will be awarded the title of "Big Heart", which will give him the ability to stay calm and steady in key moments of the game.

Bowen's training card has two drills, one is a three-point drill, and the other is a defensive drill.

Yang Di has been training with Bowen to hold the ball in the past few days, and one more training session can basically be completed, but the growth effect of his defensive attributes has not improved much. Yang Di guessed that it was probably because his defensive attributes were gradually on the verge of a bottleneck, and if he went up, he would encounter the unknown energy redemption field again.

The surrounding Dunleavy and others also smiled knowingly when they looked at Yang Di bowing his head, Yang Di always has this habit of bowing his head and closing his eyes, and I don't know why, it probably happens every day, sometimes in the training hall, sometimes before the start of the game, and even in the locker room.

The players all speculated that this was probably Yang Di's mysterious prayer from China, otherwise he would not have played so well in every game.

Before the start of the game, the players entered the ceremony on the spot.

Amid the cheers of the Bay Area fans, Yang Di stood up from the bench with his arms raised and high-fived his teammates with a smile. Under the dim light, everyone shouted in unison, and the morale was high.

He stood under the basket, jumped slightly, grabbed the basket with both hands, and did several pull-ups, revealing his sharp muscles and huge No. 8 jersey to the camera under the basket.

Howard also has a lot of supporters, and his dunks and big hats have made their mark in the league, and they are not bad to watch.

He waved his hand happily and grinned like a big boy next door.

……

TNT televised the game, and Barkley and Smith made a bet before the game began, "The Warriors are definitely going to lose again." ”

Barkley opened and closed his big mouth up and down, and said categorically: "The Magic team has been in good form recently, winning several games in a row, and is currently in the 5th position in the East with 12 wins and 6 losses, which is much better than the Warriors' 8-9 loss, and the most important thing is that the Warriors have lost three in a row. ”

Smith shook his head and retorted with a smile: "I have a different opinion, the Warriors are now experiencing three consecutive defeats, but they have rested for three days, this time they must have made sufficient preparations, and the desire to win will be stronger than that of Magic." ”

Neither of the two can say anything, and in the end, Barkley bets that the Warriors will lose, and if the Warriors win, he will eat ten burgers on the air.

Smith laughed and said that this punishment was too low-level, compared to Yao Ming's bet last time.

The camera cuts to the stadium, where players from both sides stand on the pitch and prepare for the game.

Dwight Howard, who was slender but somewhat muscular, stood in the center circle, staring at Yang Di. Yang Di also looked at him and sneered.

Magic starting five: PG Steve Francis, SG Catino Mobley, SF Stecy Ogmont, PF Tony Barty, C Dwight Howard.

From the perspective of personnel composition, this is almost a copy of last season's Rockets, the difference is that Yao Ming has become Howard, and the small forward has become 36-year-old California veteran "Plastic Man" Stercy Ogmon.

The Warriors continue to start with Fisher, Richardson, Dunleavy, Murphy and Youngdy.

The referee walks up to the center circle, holds the basketball in one hand, and grabs the whistle with the other and puts it to his mouth.

"Toot ~"

With a whistle, the fans in the stadium let out a noisy shout, the basketball was thrown straight into the air, and Howard, who was holding his breath, roared, "rubbed" the ground, and jumped up like a rocket launch.

Yang Di was taken aback by Howard's explosive power, and he also jumped up at the same time, but obviously the bullet speed was a little slower than Howard's, this guy's bounce power, I'm afraid it has to be S-level!

Howard tossed the basketball away and snorted as he landed, as if defiant.

Yang Di looked at him, moved backwards in small steps, and the whole magic team pressed down.

When he first entered the league, Howard didn't have any low-post skills, and the Magic's tactical arrangement for him was also based on high-post blocking. Outside the three-point line, Francis waved at Howard.

Yang Di immediately chose to take a step back to defend, and the player report said that Francis's three-point shooting has always been ineffective, and the three-point shooting tendency is very low.

Defending Francis was Fisher, who stepped up and crossed Howard's pick-and-roll.

Francis was half a step ahead, and Yang Di could only delay in front of him. Francis hits the ground and splits the ball to Howard, who is down.

Yang Di moved sideways in small steps, blocking in front of Howard.

Howard does not have Yang Di's dribbling skills, and in the face of Yang Di's open long arm, he directly feints with his right hand and turns on the spot, which is also one of his few offensive means so far.

A playful smile crossed the corners of Yang Di's mouth, and Howard's offensive options were also expected by him.

He made a small lateral adjustment, unaffected by his first feint, still firmly in front of him, and Howard spun in a circle, holding his right arm high to lift the ball up, a half-tossed shot.

Yang Di jumped high, straight arms up, big hands pressed down, just on top of his exposed basketball......
