After the confession failed, I went to the NBA to play and lose weight

Chapter 103 Fans
This Magic is also a back-to-back, just in Charlotte and the Bobcats rematch with 20 points to beat the opponent.

In the first half, the Bobcats were aggressive. Bogans and Lewis lost all three points in the hands of the Magic. Howard was also troubled by foul tactics. The Magic temporarily fell behind by 8 points.

But in the third quarter, they immediately returned a score of 34:13, winning 21 points in a single quarter. The heroes were Nelson, Du Lin and Li Chengming.

Anyway, whenever the Magic team has a frenzy of chasing points from behind, Li Chengming is definitely involved in it, and sometimes he can even make contributions on the defensive end. He contributed three steals in this quarter.

One is due to the element of luck. Raymond Felton on the opposite side somehow dribbled the ball into his hands, and there were two direct interceptions of predicted passes on the route.

Because after winning the last game with defense, Li Chengming thought about it, and decided to enhance his defensive awareness, so he exchanged for the ability to see the "rehearsal" of the opponent's attack (8).

He is actually very clear about one thing. Defense needs to rely on physical talent, but consciousness is also indispensable. How many people with strong athletic ability can only be a pie-eating and jumping man, and like Duncan does not rely on athletic talent to defend of.

In fact, Li Chengming also has the foundation to grow into a strong defensive player. His wingspan, his big hands, and his strength without fear of any confrontation are all good foundations, and consciousness can sometimes make up for the lack of speed. It can even improve his reaction.

In fact, in this game, the opposite "Elvis" Gerald Wallace is a good example for him.

The only thing I can't learn is that it only weighs 100kg...

Afterwards, the Bobcats still wanted to catch up bravely, but Turkoglu stood up again at this time. At the same time, Lewis and Bogans also hit three-pointers one after another when they felt warmer. Five minutes into the fourth quarter, the point difference had been widened. At 5 points, the suspense of the game is not much.

In the last three minutes or so, Van Gundy withdrew his troops ahead of schedule, and he was also relieved to see that the team had finally won a hearty victory.

The ten-game winning streak is an honor for them, but it is also a pressure. As the head coach, he doesn't really want the team to be tight and tied in the winning streak. A strong race condition, but not necessarily maxed out all the time.

But it is impossible for him to let the players release water. Is it wrong for them to want to win?
Fortunately, in this game, it seems that they have adjusted. Although Howard is still not good at free throws, he controlled the turnovers and fouls very well today. Lewis just missed the shot, and the opportunity came out. The situation that Royo is destined to continue to be absent is undoubtedly what he is most happy to see.

As for Li Chengming and Turkoglu, they are relatively stable, and there is nothing to say.

全场比赛结束后，霍华德拿到29分19篮板逼死强迫症，李成名靠着第三节的出色发挥，全场11投7中、三分7投3中得到17分12篮板4盖帽，篮板和盖帽都打破了个人的记录。

Nelson made all six shots and scored 15 points and 7 assists.

Then the next day at home, facing the Grizzlies in the Western Conference, the Magic finally overturned.

……

The house leak happened to rain overnight, which is not an exaggeration to describe the current Magic team.

Before the game against the Grizzlies, Lewis confirmed a truce due to a neck injury, and the Magic added another injury number.

Lacking a star and a major scoring point, the Magic's offense undoubtedly weakened a lot. Van Gundy had to put Li Chengming in the starting lineup, which also weakened their substitute in disguise.

Moreover, Li Chengming's condition in this game was not good. In the first half, whether it was catch-and-shoot or singles, he hit iron. He only made 6 goal in 4 shots, and only scored [-] points with free throws. Very abnormal.

Since he settled in the rotation, Li Chengming rarely encountered this kind of situation, and it wasn't like the time when he was tormented by the opponent's forward defense when he played against the Eagles, but he simply couldn't make a shot.

And the performance of his teammates is actually very good. Howard is more accurate in free throws today. Redick, who came up for the rotation, also seized the opportunity to perform.

So in the first three quarters, everyone staged "Save Soldier Li Chengming" in turn. A group of godly teammates dragged Li Chengming, a pig teammate with big hips, forward, which was also a response to the sentence "We had you before, and now you have us" .

However, the two teams played very stalemate in the first three quarters. Although the Magic took the lead, they didn't lead by much.

Of course, it’s an old problem. The back line on the opposite side broke out. Whether it’s Navarro, Miller, the substitute Lowry, or another Miller, they can take whatever they want from their backcourt defense. There is no strong striker. Help, it's too late for Howard to fill in.

As a result, 3 minutes after the start of the fourth quarter, the Grizzlies caught up and even overtook the score.

Li Chengming was beaten into a breakthrough. The second-year student Lowry, who finally started to emerge this year, is short and strong, and his speed is not slow. Miller's off-ball running position, one bullying Li Chengming is slow, and the other bullying Li Chengming can't defend.

When it was supposed to win points, Li Chengming led the team to lose 0:9.

In fact, the main reason is that he still didn't find his focus on offense, otherwise he could at least maintain the balance and wait for the starter to come back.

In desperation, Van Gundy saw that Li Chengming was really dying today, so he had to take him down first.

He was afraid that Li Chengming would continue to stay on the court. It would be a trivial matter to lose the game, but it would be terrible if it affected his confidence.

After all, a rookie's endurance is still a bit weaker, especially when he was just high-spirited, suddenly fell a somersault, this kind of blow to the head is even more painful, Li Chengming will see in an instant what the media that promoted him to the sky a while ago is actually what it is virtuous.

This can be regarded as a kind of protection for him, but the hole dug is a bit big, and it also makes the Grizzlies' momentum play out. As a result, the main force failed to recover the score after returning.

At the critical moment, Howard made two free throws and one, which directly ruined any hope of tying.

In the end, at 123:119, the Magic lost another home game.

So far, they have lost four times and three times at home. The home audience is really numb—could they actually have a bad luck physique? let them play?

This is of course a joke. It can only be said that the NBA really has some metaphysics in it. It is unnecessary to believe it all, but it is impossible not to believe it.

After the game, Li Chengming came out of the shower and was blocked by reporters in the passageway. Looking at their excited faces, Li Chengming knew that for these guys, the loss of the Magic and his poor performance were the most important thing for them. Double the joy.

It's not that there is any grudge against Li Chengming or the Magic, it's just that there is so much traffic, and the people who eat melons like this sense of gap from heaven to earth.

Isn't your Magic team number one in the league? Isn't your Li Chengming going to compete for the best rookie?
How crazy are you guys now?
We're not crazy at all...

After dealing with these messy reporters, when Li Chengming walked outside the arena with his father, he was surprised when he heard the voice of "LI" outside. When he looked over, Li's father explained: "This should be Your fans..."
