, 33, Howard, abandoned his muscles and past pride and persistence, chose to return to the end of the 10s of the Lakers, and told everyone with practical actions that the man who can "sell James " may be gone, but as the "pillar supporting James", he can still do it. This will not be the strongest Howard I have ever seen, but now he is my favorite Howard.
Back to the Lakers Howard has made a lot of contributions on both offense and defense recently, and even once dominated the top 2 block rankings with Davis, making him, who is like a "prodigal son, turn around", become the most reassuring existence on the bench.
, especially the 14-point, 13 rebounds, 2 assists, 2 blocks and 1 turnover in this game, including a shooting percentage of 7 shots and 4 offensive rebounds that I fought hard to grab, all of which wrote the highest number of individual individual data this season. Even with 20 minutes of playing time, the slightly more 3 fouls were still not bad, helping the Lakers defeat the home Spurs 103-96.
gradually abandoned Howard, who was too eager to play singles at the low post, accepted a simpler and more effective offensive mode, and cooperated with James and others.
's transformation not only improved Howard's grasp of goals, optimized the team's overall attack, but also repeatedly boosted morale at critical moments, showing his experience and value of ruling the 2000s and 10s, called " Warcraft ".
In addition to the 100% shooting percentage in this game, Howard did not slacket offense in the stamina and successfully transferred it to defense and rebounding consolidation. Howard, who changed his identity with
, may not be able to surprise us every day on the offensive end, but his signature defense is becoming more and more eye-catching as he gets along with the Lakers. In the last five games, Howard has given out at least 2 hot pots per game, with an average rebound count of 8.6, including three games that have scored at least 3 offensive rebounds.
And the three games mentioned above include today, Howard won two double-double with 100% FG% twice, such as driving the offense with defense, and using fighting spirit to infect the entire team, helping the Lakers defeat their opponents.
You should know that these are achieved within about 20 minutes of playing time. This is the lowest playing time since Howard's career, but in a limited time, Howard decided to shine his light so that the best monsters could be out of the gate and rage. When the time comes, he would get off work with peace of mind, without any suspense. I don’t know why, this feeling of returning from injury and being the former star center as another star center always gives me the feeling of déjà 2006 Heat champion center Mo Ning . The same defense and the same toughness, but the more touching struggle after being condensed, just like Dwight Howard now.
Maybe this is not the strongest Howard I have ever seen, but now he is my favorite Howard.
If you really want to compare it, I personally think Howard's role positioning, as well as his rebounding count of 8+ and a high FG%, is very similar to Ed Davis at the Nets last year. He is just a "power enhancement version" in defense and blocks, and has occasionally made achievements in offensive rebounds.
0 The two people who set out on the bench are clear and simple. As blue-collar workers, they are doing their best, exceeding everyone's expectations. Full of fighting spirit always boosts the team's morale, inspires teammates to sound the counterattack horn, or strengthens the victory.
In this era where more emphasis on outside lines and speed, the two seem to be travelers traveling from another time and space, and fully demonstrated the passage from "Slam Dunk" that "those who control rebounds can control victory." In the corner where everyone is not paying attention, they carved out their own green leaf legends one by one.
Warcraft is still a monster, but "change angle, change identity, and set off again."
