"Warcraft" Howard was unstoppable, and Camby had already suffered a lot with just one move.
With explosive physical fitness and unparalleled athletic ability, Howard is worthy of being a man who can replace James alone during his peak period.
"Warcraft" is so brave, the Magic naturally keeps feeding Howard the ball.
Although Turkoglu is arrogant, he does have the ability to connect people.
He has a high success rate in launching tactics after the pick-and-roll. Of course, "Melo" Anthony has to take the blame.
Facing Turkoglu, Anthony was a little depressed.
With a pick-and-roll, "Melon" ran away without knowing where.
In addition, when Howard is flanked by Camby and Kenyon Martin, "Warcraft" will distribute the ball to the outside.
Turkoglu and Nelson are the most direct beneficiaries of the "Warcraft" ball distribution.
Their three-pointers are very accurate. On Nelson's side, Iverson is still keeping a close eye on him. If he occasionally misses someone, Li Yan will quickly make up for it.
The problem lies with Turkoglu. Melo's defensive enthusiasm is average and he did not stick to Turkoglu.
This gave Turkoglu a lot of opportunities to calmly shoot three-pointers.
Turkoglu has also become the Magic's best player besides Howard.
At the end of the first half, the Magic beat the Nuggets 56, and the two teams were evenly matched.
Turkoglu performed well with 12 points and 6 assists, while Li Yan on the other side had 6 points and 8 assists.
Although the two did not face off directly during the game, in a sense, Turkoglu had an advantage in statistics.
"Hido, you played great. The pass I received today was very comfortable." Howard gave Turkoglu a thumbs up in the locker room.
"Warcraft" Howard has a particularly good character and is the representative of "happy basketball". The "Warcraft" who was so excited did not hesitate to praise Turkoglu.
On the other side, Nelson also smiled and said: "Yes, what a Chinese magician, he can't compare with you at all."
"He just gets the glory of the answer and the melon. If even the melon can't defend you, who is he?"
"You are the successor of the magician!"
Turkoglu puffed up his chest amidst praises from his teammates.
What could be more satisfying than stepping on the head of the "Chinese Magician" who is currently in the limelight!
Turkoglu smiled slightly and said calmly: "These are all false names, there is nothing to fight for.
I don’t want to be the successor of a magician, I’m just me, Hedo Turkoglu! "
At this moment, Turkoglu felt that he was no longer a "Turkish magician". His self-confidence was overwhelming, as if he was the reincarnation of the ancient god, and an aura of forcing the king spread!
The second half begins.
Turkoglu received a ball from "Warcraft" Howard outside the three-point line and hit it with his open hand.
Amid the cheers of the audience, Turkoglu roared loudly and rushed to Li Yan:
"Chinese boy, you can't do it either!"
Li Yan was speechless for a moment. You hit a half-empty shot in front of the absent-minded Melo and yelled at me.
It's like someone eating a melon and then saying to the pie seller on the other side: "This melon is sweet, but your pie is garbage!"
There was no logic in this operation, but the fans were very happy to eat the melon. They kept cheering for Turkoglu in the stands.
Turkoglu was inspired and took a step forward to declare a challenge to Li Yan:
"Li, do you dare to fight me!"
Li Yan's anger couldn't be suppressed in an instant. How dare you, a scumbag who doesn't even get a reward, dare to come here and provoke me?
Li Yan looked back at George Karl on the sidelines. The old coach was already worried about Anthony's defense.
Now there was no need to consider Anthony's feelings.
George Karl nodded, and then shouted: "Cameron and Lee switch defenses!"
Li Yan walked towards Turkoglu: "As you wish!"
Nuggets round.
Iverson advanced with the ball, while on the other side Li Yan fell to the low post.
This is one of the tactics George Karl created based on the characteristics of the players.
Li Yan turned his back to gain position, and Iverson successfully fed the ball in.
Li Yan holds the ball and Turkoglu defends.
After two consecutive attempts to dribble the ball, Li Yan skillfully used changes in his footsteps to get away from Turkoglu.
He moves like a butterfly, making people's scalp numb.
This is the home court of the Magic, and Li Yan does not have "superstar privileges."
The bald referee on the side watched Li Yan's footsteps attentively.
Although it looked a little suspicious, he didn't see anything wrong.
Li Yan got rid of Turkoglu, and "Warcraft" Howard immediately came up to him.
Turkoglu, who was being teased with Li Yan's footsteps behind him, also rushed over angrily.
They were attacked from both sides, but Li Yan didn't panic at all.
His excellent vision allowed him to find a solution instantly.
With a flick of his wrist, the basketball was passed through the gap.
The basketball came to Camby's hands, "Boom!"
The second-place finisher in 1996, who had been suppressed by "Warcraft" for a long time, finished with a one-handed dunk.
…………
Turkoglu's speed is not fast or even a bit slow. He relies on his brain and rhythm to play.
But this is just the professional counterpart for Li Yan. "Master Li" specializes in all kinds of "great wisdom".
After only a few rounds, Turkoglu was already sweating profusely.
It's so weird, no matter what method he uses, the Chinese kid opposite him can always follow him like a shadow.
Without the brains and rhythm, Turkoglu was left with only his 208cm body.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!" Turkoglu resisted but made no progress. The disdainful expression on Li Yan's face made him even more crazy.
"Are you okay?" A mean voice came from behind: "Come on, try harder!"
Turkoglu was furious, and the man's dignity cut off the possibility of his passing the ball to escape.
In a desperate move, Turkoglu turned around and jumped with determination.
Li Yan is not a "giraffe" like Bosh. There is no moisture in his height.
Li Yan's outstanding wingspan gave him the upper hand in this one-on-one duel between real men.
"Bang!" Without any surprise, Turkoglu fell from the clouds to the ground with a big hat.
In the transition from offense to defense, Iverson scored another 2 points with an easy layup.
In the next round, Turkoglu still had no chance.
The self-esteemed Turkish player sadly found himself at a comprehensive disadvantage.
This Chinese boy who seems easy to deal with is an out-and-out "tough guy"!
Continuous encounters with the wall gave Turkoglu the idea of retreating, but Li Yan had no intention of letting the Turks go.
Continuous dribbling, Li Yan kept changing the rhythm to mobilize Turkoglu's center of gravity.
Turkoglu never imagined that he would be slipped around like a dog in the rhythm area where he is good at.
Turkoglu soon lost his strength, and his footsteps and body center of gravity began to deviate——
"Bang!" Turkoglu's feet softened and he sat down on the ground.
He could only watch Li Yan Juechen leave with dismay.
Li Yan knocked down Turkoglu and succeeded in a European step layup.
Facing his embarrassed opponent, Li Yan smiled contemptuously:
"Carry it away! Next one!"
