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

Chapter 109

With more than two minutes left in the first quarter, the score was 13:20, and the visiting Magic team was temporarily behind by 7 points.

At this time, the two teams have been on the rotation lineup one after another. The Xiaoqiang team has McGrady, who took a break in the middle, and comes back with four substitutes. The Magic team has an all-substitute lineup, but with Li Chengming, it can be regarded as a main force.

McGrady didn't feel good about shooting today. He missed all 4 shots before, but this time he came up with a mid-range pull-up and finally scored.

The sleepy Tracy's efficiency this season has created a new low since he entered his peak period. The three-point and free throw percentages have fallen off a cliff, because the injury has affected his athletic ability and weakened. Pull out the jumper.

Li Chengming looked at him with envy on his face. Of course, what he envied was not his blurred eyes, embarrassing beard, and sex calves, or his 5-of-1 shooting percentage, but his beautiful shooting. The heroic posture of the painting.

It is said that dry pulling is inefficient, but it looks handsome.

It is said that holding the ball with one hand is useless, but it looks handsome.

It is said that McGrady is no longer as brave as he used to be, but he is a handsome player.

In particular, he is taller than Li Chengming, but his dribbling is so natural, from control dribbling to shooting, it is so beautiful. It makes people feel that if you learn this skill, you will definitely become the most beautiful boy on the court.

They have played against the Lakers before, and Li Chengming has also seen another active shooting guard with picturesque shooting. It can only be said that there is a reason for his high popularity.

Iverson's butterfly crossing, Carter's dunk, Kobe's fadeaway jumper, McGrady's pull-up, everyone has a picturesque signature action.

It's a pity that he is destined to be unable to learn, and it's not a matter of size. Li Chengming feels that it will be difficult for him to catch up with the ball alone.

Unless you "develop" the talents in this area later, for example, in the system mall to exchange for a combination of human balls and related skills.

However, Li Chengming also has his own style of play. After all, a basketball game is still about who can score more points and who can put the ball into the basket. Li Chengming may not have such outstanding aesthetics, but he has solid footsteps in the low post, and The heavy strength and confrontation make the opposing defender have nothing to do.

McGrady wanted to come over to interfere, but Li Chengming had already caused Scola to panic, the whistle sounded, and the thug fouled.

Scola is also a rookie this year, but he did not come from the 07 draft, but was selected by the Spurs with the 02th overall pick in 56.

However, the Spurs did not sign him immediately, because he still had a contract at that time, and the home team demanded a high buyout fee, which was obviously impossible for the always "thrifty" Spurs .

So he continued to play in European leagues, and it wasn't until this year that the Spurs sent the signing rights to Houston and bought out his contract that he was able to officially land in the NBA.

According to NBA rookie records, Scola is also considered to be his first year as a rookie, but he is already 27 years old this year. He can no longer be described as an "older rookie". He did well in the game.

So after the start of the game, Scola is basically a microwave player who can perform well on the court.

He has excellent inside footsteps and rebounding sense. If he is given enough playing time, double-double data is not difficult for him.

In the tenth game of his NBA career against the Spurs in San Antonio, he even scored his first 20 points. Equipped him with a short blue collar like Hayes.

As a rookie, Scola has not been able to fully gain the trust of the coaching staff, so he was only allowed to play at this time, and it happened to meet Li Chengming.

His current playing schedule, except for the first half of the first quarter, is actually mostly mixed with the main players.

Van Gundy is still trying out different lineups. Of course, he will not mess around, and he will adjust if he finds something is wrong, especially the random collocation of the inside line. It seems that his on-the-spot adaptability has also improved a little.

Scola and Hayes are two completely different types. He is [-] meters tall. It is not a disadvantage to play the [-]th position, but his wingspan is average. As a white player, he moves slowly, has poor defense, and has explosive power. Weak, physical fitness is relatively average, and all the common problems that should be there are all taken up.

In terms of confrontation, his strength is not weak, but in defense, he seems a little soft. Li Chengming experienced a completely different style of painting from facing Hayes, so that he almost couldn't believe it.

To some extent, they can also be regarded as a rookie showdown.

And after being ravaged by Li Chengming on the defensive end for two consecutive rounds, the home fans couldn't bear to watch their matchups. The on-site commentary even said: "For Dayao's sake, let this Argentine go. Lee just needs to turn around and put the basketball in the basket, why bother?"

Apparently Adelman also realized that not everyone is like Hayes. Haiye can at least stand up to Li Chengming, although he still can't guard against him, but Scola will be eaten alive by Li Chengming if he continues like this.

Also relying on Li Chengming's strong attack to score consecutively, the Magic chased the score to 4 points before the last half minute.

Then LOSER Hyde missed a shot, Li Chengming protected the rebound, and then faced Scola again in the low post.

Li Chengming still threw the ball into the net, but then realized that it was his offensive foul.

Referee No. 38, who is estimated to be 83 years old this year, made a gesture of dribbling the ball. Li Chengming glanced at Scola who was being pulled up by his teammates, and stepped forward to discuss with the referee.

I don’t understand the referee when I see other people’s fouls, but I know it when I really play. It is necessary to maintain a certain amount of communication with the referee, even if he really fouled this time.

Because judging from the playback, Scola did stand in a good position, and his feet were just outside the circle, and Li Chengming was suspected of supporting his elbow when he turned around. Contributed to the cleaning of the floor, so you have to give him face.

Li Chengming also knew that it was indisputable, so he went back to the basket after saying a few clichés.

Because the number of fouls has accumulated to the number of times, Scola will go directly to free throws at this time.

After both free throws were made, the point difference was six points again, and there were still 15 seconds to attack. Li Chengming served to Du Lin to advance with the ball. He didn't deliberately ask for the ball and hit it back directly. That was an immature performance.

So he brought it up and made a pick-and-roll for Durin, and after dismantling it, he attracted the defense on the outside, allowing Durin to kill the basket and face Scola for a layup, but it also caused a foul.

With 2 seconds left after both free throws were made, the Xiaoqiang team missed a three-pointer with a long shot from the backcourt. The first quarter ended with the score 20:24.

Su Qun concluded: "In the first quarter of the game, the Magic team was not in good shape at the beginning, maybe it was a lot of work, and the overall shooting rate was not high, but after Li Chengming came on the court, they gradually narrowed the point difference, and Houston The rotation lineup can't withstand the counterattack of the Magic team at all."

It's normal for the defense to be unstoppable, but they didn't play well on offense and failed to hold the score advantage.

Although still leading, the momentum has come to the Magic.

However, because of the early start in the first quarter, Li Chengming took a rest off the court at the beginning of the second quarter. Lewis and Turkoglu played together, leading Durin, Evans and Foyer.

This lineup has played well. Of course, it is not so much that they play well, but that the opponent's offense is more stretched.

At this time, the Texas Xiaoqiang team's lineup on the field is Dayao with Scola on the inside, McGrady is still on the field, and the backcourt combination is Hyde + Alston. As a result, the backline was overwhelmed.

Alston can at least respond on the offensive end, but Hyde really can't get in and out.

Du Lin made consecutive breakthroughs and made fouls, and Evans also directly hit the 188cm Alston with a three-pointer. The Magic played a wave of 9:4 and directly overtook the score.

The main problem is actually that during this period of time, the small strong team obviously has such a strong point as Yao. As a result, Alstom attacked, Alston finished the attack on McGrady, and then Hyde or Scola caught the ball and missed a shot.

Of course, Dayao himself has some problems. He missed a ball with a buttery hand and made a mistake. He also missed two consecutive penalty kicks at the basket. In the end, Lewis snatched the rebound back.

The two teams actually contributed to a 4-minute iron battle. The efficiency was not very high, but the rebounds were quite hard. The two sides added up to more than 40 rebounds, which means they hit 40 irons. The output efficiency of the Houston Steel Works It's amazing.
