In a game between the Lakers and the Kings that ended earlier, the Lakers at home won 122-114, winning three consecutive games in the recent past, and vogel finally did not paranoidly use the five small lineups throughout the game, but chose to give backup center Howard plenty of time to appear. In the 21 minutes of playing time on the bench, Howard scored 14 points, 14 rebounds, 3 assists and 2 steals on 6-of-12 shooting, staged multiple dunks, and suddenly let people see the "Magic" figure of the first center in the league at the Magic.
As a 04-year champion who once exchanged James, Howard also made a lot of mistakes because of his youth and madness, especially when he left the home team Magic, just joined the Lakers, and Kobe, Gasol, Nash and other people to form an "F4" combination, once let the Lakers fans see the hope of the championship, but because of his untamed, unwilling to let himself become a blue-collar coolie, the Purple and Gold Legion also collapsed in the first year of the F4 group, and then Howard successively turned to the Rockets, Eagles, Hornets, Wizards, Successive wandering careers also made him fall out of the star altar, and finally returned to the Lakers in the 19-20 season, when howard, who was 34 years old at the time, finally repented and began to accept the fact that he became a role player.
And that season Howard really put down his body, do some blue-collar coolies to do dirty work, the entire season down his average data has fallen to the lowest career at that time 7.5 points 7.3 rebounds, although the data can not be the same as the peak of the day, but Howard's role in the offensive and defensive ends of the court, indeed for the Lakers to win the final championship to make a contribution, if he did not help thick eyebrows in the box to share the pressure, the Purple and Gold Army may not be able to pass the Heat. In the following season, the Lakers did not choose to renew his contract, putting Howard to the 76ers, and he still played an efficient performance in the Lakers in Philadelphia.
After the end of the season, Howard also chose to return to the Purple and Gold Army with a basic salary of 2.6 million, but Howard, who entered the palace three times, failed to usher in reuse in 20 years, many games were directly refrigerated by Vogel, even Lakers fans were uneven, thinking that Howard should not suffer such unfair treatment, and this game against the Kings, once again played the second double-double performance of the season, it is also Howard's actual action to hit Vogel, he is still worthy of a main rotation list. As of now, Howard averaged 5.2 points and 5.6 rebounds per game in only 15.3 minutes of playing time, shooting 60% from the field, if you really want to get enough opportunities, Howard's rim performance will not be inferior to the thick eyebrows, and I hope that this battle of proof can make Vogel use Howard more after that, he really deserves more playing opportunities!
