Stan Van Gundy is quite expected to open the situation from Dwight Howard after Coupard comes on the court, because after several seasons of training, Dwight Howard's offense may be a bit different from Yao Ming, but it has made great progress compared to when he first entered the league. After the team's outside offense encountered obstacles, he hoped that Dwight Howard could open the situation from Coupard.

After all, Kupad is not Yao Ming. Although before Yao Ming came to the Supersonics, his season with the Supersonics could have supported the Supersonics' inside line, but at that time, because of the more famous Chris Wilcox, the Supersonics were mainly offensive on the outside, his ability was not valued by many people. After Yao Ming arrived, he became the team's substitute. Who would pay attention to a substitute player?

Many teams know the importance of collecting intelligence, but when collecting intelligence, there are different degrees of importance. For the core players of the team, not only should they pay great attention to every move, but they should also be analyzed from multiple aspects. For the team's sub-core players, the attention will be reduced by one level, and for other starters and sixth players, it will be the same level. For other players in the regular rotation main lineup, you can basically just pay a little attention.

So Kupad was the team's starting lineup last season, the third or fourth most important player of the team. This season suddenly retreated to the seventh or eighth position. Is there no need for anyone to pay attention to such a player? And he has indeed not performed well. Although he perfectly completed the substitute task when Yao Ming was not on the court, he did not perform well, so it is normal for the Magic to ignore such players.

Even Dwight Howard felt that he had finally waited for his own chuntian and was eager to show his offensive ability. However, he encountered great problems when he first attacked with the ball.

Because compared to Yao Ming, Coupard is faster and has a more flexible footsteps, but he has a weight and lower limb strength that is no less than Yao Ming's, so his defense is more spreading than Yao Ming's defense. As soon as Dwight Howard received the ball, he didn't wait for him to squeeze into the basket, and found that Coupard had already squeezed over and did not give him any time or space to start.

He tried to squeeze in, but Coupard didn't move at all. The strength of his upper limbs could push Coupard away, but Coupard's lower body was firmly nailed to the ground, which showed Dwight Howard's embarrassment. His bounce could only be within three feet of the basket, because even if he couldn't stand steadily at that time, he could jump up and dunk the ball into the basket. However, once he was far from the basket, he would not have the ability to shoot mid-range and would not play singles on his back. Of course, it was not impossible, but he was not very good at bullying such a second-rate insider sometimes, and if he had a little strength, he had no choice. The hit rate of the hook was pitifully low, so Dwight Howard found that he could not squeeze Coupard, and he was more outward than when Yao Ming was when he found out that he was not sure what to do.

Keep squeezing under the basket. Not to mention that the game time is not allowed, even if it is allowed, you have to be able to squeeze. It would be useless if you can't move here for a long time. So after Dwight Howard thought about it, he still passed the ball again.

The first time was like this. On the second time, Dwight Howard felt it was a bit embarrassing to pass the ball out, so he made a back-to-one single and turned to a layup. However, since he did not push Kupad at all, he turned around and was still a distance from the basket, and the layup turned into a throwing shot. The ball slid high above the basket like a roller coaster, and then fell into the hands of Sergii Baka in the distance.

Since the beginning of the game, basically one quarter has passed. Apart from the attack that Dwight Howard faced Yao Ming for the first time, he has not scored any goals in the sports game. If he had not scored another four points by free throws, he would have scored only that pitiful two points. Yao Ming had already scored fourteen points in more than half a quarter, and there were only two free throws.

Yao Ming's shooting percentage in this quarter is as high as 70%. You should know that his opponent is Dwight Howard, the league's number one center who is good at defense, and is also ranked second in the vote for the best defensive player. Such a player actually made his opponent hit more than 70% when defending against the players. This has to be said to be a great shame for defensive players.

However, Dwight Howard's face was still full of charming smiles, and he seemed not angry at all, he did not hate himself or his opponent, and he did not know what situation Dwight Howard would be angry at this. He had been criticized by many people, lacking domineeringness and anger.

When a player is off the court, he can keep smiling in any situation. This is a well-educated performance. However, if he keeps smiling at all times on the court, he is not anxious or angry, he will only be despised. Even if Kobe Bryant has that charming smile, he is like a ferocious person when he is on the court, especially when the team is behind. Even when he is "melon" Carmelo Anthony, he is also very cruel and fierce on the court, Dwight Howard has never seen him.

After Coupard came up, not only did Dwight Howard feel very uncomfortable in defense, but also made great achievements in offense. Stephen still gave him full support like he did to Yao Ming, and he also made two-for-three shots to repay Stephen's support. His offense was squeezed into the basket and hooking, but this move made Dwight Howard helpless.

Through intuitive comparison, we can realize that Dwight Howard's name is not true. Perhaps it is related to his encounter with players like Yao Ming or Kupperd. For players who are far superior to him in terms of strength, especially those with lower limb strength, Dwight Howard really has no good idea. This psychological and physiological pressure also makes him tired early and breathless. You must know that when he is in good physical condition, it is absolutely unimaginable that he is so tired in the first quarter.

After seeing this, Stan Van Gundy replaced Dwight Howard with Marsingott. Marsingott was born in Poland and has a nickname: "Polish Hammer". He was also a second-round pick in 2005 and is an unknown person in the league. He has the lowest salary, but he performed very well this season, especially after the playoffs, when Dwight Howard encountered a foul crisis, he was even more special.

He has a height of two meters and one by one, and his playing style is also tough. After he faced Coupard, because the two were taller, although he could not compete with Coupard in terms of strength, it was not so easy for Coupard to fight. The two fell into a state of entanglement, and at this time Stephen began to show his power from the outside.

With only 41 seconds left in the first quarter, Stephen first made a quick three-pointer, and then quickly completed a steal from Hildotkglu, causing Raf Alstom to foul in the fast break, and made two free throws and deliberately allowed Coupard to grab the frontcourt rebound. At this time, Stephen had already stood outside the three-point line. After taking Coupard's pass, he raised his hand and made a heart-wrenching arrow, hitting a three-pointer, and at this time there were still twenty-three seconds left in the game.

The Magic served again, and Raf Alstom handed the ball to Hiddukgelu. Hiddukgelu paid great attention to the protection of the ball this time. After two consecutive changes of directions, he suddenly passed the ball to Masingota at the basket, and then ran quickly to the other side and took the ball from Masingota again. Although Kevin Durant also ran over at the same time, he gave Hiddukgelu a free shot, raised his hand and threw the ball into the basket, which was also a three-pointer.

Only left the SuperSonics with more than three seconds of offensive time. Earl Watson went over to serve the ball, and the ball was directly sent to Stephen. Although the Magic tried every means to stop Stephen from receiving the ball, they did not have a player on the forward line who could compete with Stephen. While taking the ball while running, they shot the ball far away. At this time, his hind feet had just left the midfield line. The ball ran out of the game. At the same time, the ball flew into the basket.
