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

Chapter 110
In fact, not only did Tracy McGrady and Hyde feel bad today, Dayao was also in poor form. In the first quarter, he was only 7 of 3 against Howard. Now facing Foyer, he is [-] centimeters shorter than him directly. Even Feuer could restrain him a little bit.

It’s interesting to say that Foyer was ranked ahead of McGrady in the draft that year. Although there is also a factor that McGrady is not very optimistic about participating in the draft as a high school student, the current situation of the two is very different. Just a blue-collar role player, McGrady has grown into an All-Star.

And after completing his 4-minute mission, Howard also returned to the court to replace him. His performance against Dayao in the first quarter made him full of confidence. He avoided Dayao's block and contributed a momentum shortly after coming up. A vigorous dunk extended the Magic's lead to 4 points.

However, after this made him swell instantly, he immediately returned to the defensive end and was hit by Dayao's overhead shot, and then the offensive end wanted to do the same, but he ate a big Yao's hot pot, allowing the opponent to counterattack and fight back. tie the score.

If it was the past, Howard might continue to go with Dayao Gang.

But I don't know if he has matured suddenly, or because he might face the pressure of three consecutive losses, he wanted to be more conservative, and then he didn't take the initiative to challenge Dayao, but started a pick-and-roll with his teammates.

In fact, this is the most effective way to attack the defensive center like Dayao. Once Dayao's defense is out of the penalty area, it will be a stake for defenders to pass by. It is difficult to return to the defense in time. The chasing player was blocked by Howard, and there was an open three-pointer directly opposite him.

However, the Magic's three-pointer was quite accurate today. Nelson and Bogans hit three-pointers one after another, and there was an alley-oop to help Howard.

The two teams fought against each other during this period. Houston relied on Wells to bite the score hard. McGrady became the one who was holding back, and missed another shot. In total, he made 9 of 1 shots and 5 of 0. Hyde can be called crouching dragon and phoenix chick.

As a result, the Magic team actually widened the point difference with a not-so-high efficiency.

In the second half of the second quarter, Li Chengming returned to the court only 4 minutes away. At this time, the score on the court had reached 39:33, and Texas Xiaoqiang only scored 9 points in the second quarter.

Su Qun said: "The rotation of the small strong team played really poorly today. The offense was constipated and then counterattacked. The good lead was directly ruined, and after Howard returned to the court, the Magic's defense became stronger. Today, Warcraft His free throws are also very accurate, and he made two free throws in a row, and he dare not foul him again."

A monster that can make free throws has a huge destructive power on the offensive end. As long as he doesn't go one-on-one with Yao foolishly in the low post, his offense is not a big problem, although he still dunks in the pincer attack of Dayao and Hayes Fly once and was blocked by Hayes who assisted in the defense, but the opponent's defense was also disrupted again and again, giving his teammates a chance to score points in the chaos.

Coupled with the restrictions on Dayao on defense, although he still insists on one-on-one defense and not double-teaming, it may be that he has accumulated a lot of experience in training with Li Chengming. In addition, Dayao's state does have some problems today, and some of them are good. He didn't grasp the opportunity to make a phone call, so Happy Beast finally felt elated and happy when facing him.

Su Qun said helplessly: "Dayao's shooting, throwing and even hooks are a little weak today. Howard's restraint is good, but I think it's more of a problem with Yao's touch..."

He still wanted to help to make up for it, but anyone with a discerning eye could see that Howard's defense against Dayao had indeed improved.

Because of the gap in lower body strength, it is difficult for him to stand up directly, but now that he has gained experience, he has given Dayao more interference. Otherwise, if he gives the opponent a chance to hit the basket, such a height will still have an easier chance to score. of.

Xu Jicheng also said: "It may be because of Li Chengming's illness before. Coach Van Gundy saved him this time and brought him up in the last 4 minutes. But the team is in a good situation, and there is really no need to rush to use him."

Su Qun said with a chuckle: "Currently, Fatty is the Magic's most capable player at critical moments of the game. With such an advantage, everyone in the Magic can make a fool of themselves, but they don't really need to rely on him."

"Actually, in today's game, another change for the Magic is that their shots from outside the three-point line have decreased. In the past, they were often able to shoot more than 25 three-pointers, and then they shot around 36% or 33%. Today they are here. The current position only takes 9 three-point shots and hits 5 times..."

In fact, in the last game against the Mavericks, the Magic only shot 14 three-pointers and made 36% of them. Of course, that was a special case.

Today, the Magic found the weakness of the opponent's [-]th position. Hayes was okay to defend inside, but his footsteps were too slow to keep up with the dislocation, let alone Dayao. In fact, it was shared by Shane Battier who made up the position. At this time, he had committed three fouls and left the game early to rest.

And Scola is even more of a defensive loophole, and the opponent dare not let him play more, especially in the case of his offensive efficiency today, because no matter whether it is Foyer or Howard on the court, the defense is against the opponent. He's a big threat.

Even if it is a finished product, it still needs a process of adaptation to the different league style of the NBA.

While Li Chengming was waiting off the court, he would observe his opponents, especially the opponents who faced him for the first time. He felt that this would be beneficial to his game. Hit the opponent seven inches above, even if he may not be that strong, he can still exert a double effect.

Van Gundy is an academic, but it doesn't mean he is pedantic. In fact, he doesn't mind using any means on the defensive end. As long as he can win, it can be said to be tactics.

Li Chengming can use his brain to play, which he appreciates. On the contrary, sometimes he is speechless and regretful when facing Howard, who is full of brains and muscles.

Of course, Howard's athletic talent is really great, so even if he has weaknesses in shooting, especially free throws, he can still become the league's leading center.

It's just that he can play for a few more years with this talent, and after his body declines, if he can't develop his shooting, he is no different from other ordinary blue-collar players.

Even with O'Neal's extraordinary talents, he can only become a qualified starter now, and he can still get a good contract by relying on his past reputation, but it is too much to expect him to play in Kerry's game.

Although it has something to do with his injuries and laziness, after all, with such a large weight, he really needs to be healthy all the time.

This is actually Van Gundy's concern about Li Chengming, but judging from his current physical examination, his weight has been continuously declining, which shows that the "nutrition and weight loss package" provided by the team's nutritionist, the consumption during training and games It is useful, and Li Chengming is not unable to lose weight.

Of course, this will also cause doubts in people's minds. If this is the case, could it be that he could not control his weight because of poor diet control and insufficient exercise intensity?

Anyway, now his weakest point is developing in a good direction.

Especially after losing some weight, you can really see that Li Chengming's skeleton is actually very big, so it is easier for him to hang on the flesh, and now after subtracting those fats, there is no obvious weakening of his body shape and strength .

This allows him to still maintain an advantage in the low position. Coupled with his footsteps and small skills, Li Chengming's performance will not be affected by weight loss.

However, after becoming thinner, his speed increase is not very obvious, but he is stronger in turning and lateral movement, which may be due to his own talent in this area.

Compared with the defense, he is more helpful on the offensive end, because the weight burden is smaller, coupled with skills such as "light as a swallow", the body appears lighter and more flexible, and some players who were not used to Easy to do actions can be done easily.

Just like this time when he held the ball for the first time after he came up, he went down to catch the ball and directly faced Dayao's turn to defend, but he leaned directly on Dayao and threw the ball with one hand in a half-turn in the air. The score also caused a foul, another 2+1.

After scoring this goal, Li Chengming played less than 8 minutes in the first half, but he has already scored 11 points, and the efficiency of 6 of 4 is also very high.

The score came to 45:36. As long as Li Chengming scored the goal, the lead would reach double digits.
