Howard's mentality is really a bit explosive.

This is his fourth consecutive free throw line.

Penalties or something is his least favorite thing.

He took several deep breaths in a row, and the instructions of Carter and Lewis in his ears had bored him, and the noisy voices made him want to hit people.

"boom!"

The first ball was significantly stronger, and the ball bounced high behind the basket.

"Shit!"

Howard snarled.

He was greeted by the cheers of nearly 20,000 fans on the scene.

The hacking strategy is not good, but the scene where Howard misses free throws is ridiculous and exciting.

The last big man who was treated like this was sitting on the sidelines in a suit. As an opponent, he could only helplessly smile.

Hacking tactics, only the hacked people know how **** they are.

"Muscles relax, don't let the surrounding things disturb you."

Carter's voice came again in his ear, and he couldn't stand it anymore.

After dribbling the ball, he apparently recovered.

As a result, the draw was too large. The ball crossed a low parabola, not to mention the box. The direct net did not touch it, and it went directly out of the sideline.

Three non-stick!

Fans on the scene were also stunned, and then smiled directly.

Tang Tian also looked at the sidelines for a moment.

Howard's strength, throwing a shot put is not trivial, which shows that his mentality really collapsed.

Stan Van Gundy also saw that after the Cavaliers' offense caused Howard's personal foul for the third time, he was forced to replace Howard.

Howard came off the court, the Cavaliers' internal disadvantages no longer, and soon recovered the momentum a little bit on the field.

At the end of the half, the Cavaliers reversed the situation and turned 62 to 57 to get a 5-point lead.

And this is not the end of Howard's nightmare.

In the third quarter, the Magic finally managed to get the momentum back, and the Cavaliers began to cut back.

At the end of the cut, Howard didn't want to make a free throw, but threw it for a rebound.

The Cavaliers will certainly not give the opportunity to play steadily and expand the lead a little bit.

In the end, the Cavaliers beat the Magic 118-106 with a wave of chops before the end of the game, winning the third game and winning a 2-1 lead in the big score.

Howard made 30 free throws and only 11 of them were hit.

Although he personally scored 32 points and 12 rebounds, the Magic rhythm was completely disrupted. Except for Carter's 16 points, no one even scored in double figures, and it was reasonable to lose.

After the game ended, Van Gundy protested to the league at a press conference that the Cavaliers' approach greatly reduced the game's enjoyment and the league should issue relevant regulations to stop it.

Tang Tian agreed with Van Gundy's protest, but he was not worried at all.

The previous-generation league also experienced this process, but it was a very long process, far from being solved by this series.

Howard is the Magic's biggest hole card, and his free throws have become the team's biggest lifeline.

The Cavaliers grabbed this by die, just like grabbing the seven inches of the snake, and you can't break free anymore.

In the fourth and fifth battles, Howard scored 29 and 32 free throws respectively, hitting 9 and 12 of them, and the soft mentality of the penalty hand also collapsed.

The Cavaliers also successfully won the game, thereby eliminating their opponents 4 to 1, and successfully reached the Eastern Conference finals.

At the end of the series, at the press conference after the game, a reporter asked Tang Tian's evaluation of Howard.

"He is a historical big man, strong, with top-notch athleticism, defensive built-in system, but like most big men, he has his own short board, not every big man can be as versatile as Yao Ming Yes, if he had to give a comment, he was the second center in the league. "

This is a very pertinent evaluation. Yao Ming has just won the regular season MVP three times, and the second center has been praised.

The Cavaliers ended their semi-finals, and on another field, the Celtics and Hawks were once again in a fierce battle.

After three consecutive years of fighting, they already know each other completely, and they are fighting on the spot.

After five games, the Celtics lead 3-2.

At this time, the league is about to usher in the selection of the best general manager.

Since its establishment in 1972, the Alliance General Manager Award has produced dozens of outstanding general managers, and it is also the biggest praise to general managers.

The biggest favorites to win this year are two newcomers, and two old acquaintances, Tang Tian of the Cavaliers and Steve Kerr of the Suns.

The Cavaliers lineup has changed a lot. At the beginning of the season, it was considered by many to be one of the top teams, but after a series of magical operations, it not only ranked third in the east, but also held two in the summer next year. The high draft picks just showed everyone else's face.

The Suns ranked ninth in the Western Conference last season and missed the playoffs, but last summer they traded O'Neal, renewed Nash, recruited Hawes, and then traded to Dragic before the trade deadline to kill in the fiercely competitive West. To the third in the west, Steve Cole turned from assistant coach to general manager, proving his super high IQ to the people.

As members of the former Rockets coaching staff, the two became competitors this time.

In the end, who can be selected is also quite interesting.

The Celtics are preparing for the sixth game of the Hawks series. Angie, the team's general manager, travels to Atlanta with the team.

As the best general manager of the 07 ~ 08 season, and also the general manager of the team that is very likely to play against the Cavaliers, Anji was naturally asked this question in an interview.

"Which of Tang and Steve deserve this award? I think Steve is clearly more worthy of this award ~ lightnovelpub.net ~ The competition in the west is far more intense than in the east.

Tang is more like a lie, he used some methods to get some high draft picks.

And he did not hesitate to trade away the team center who has played for the team for 11 years. He did lead the team to a very good season, but it should be his coach's ability, not the general manager's. "

The conflict between Anji and Tang Tian began in the summer of 2007 and reached a peak in the 2008 finals. I thought that two years should be forgotten. I did not expect Anji to be grudged.

That night, the Celtics defeated the Hawks 102-97 and 4-2, advancing to the Eastern Conference Finals for the third consecutive year.

Their opponent is the well-established Cavaliers.

Anji's words are sensitive, because the two teams will soon meet in the next Eastern Conference finals, becoming more and more interesting.

Before the finals kicked off, this interview was again planned out, and a reporter said in front of Tang Tian.
