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

Chapter 115 Fighting Garnett Again

On the 23rd, the Magic went to Boston to challenge the Celtics. This is also the second battle between the two teams this season.

The special significance of this game lies first in the battle for the top spot in the Eastern Conference.

The Magic are now barely ranked first in the Eastern Conference only by winning games, but they played 4 more games than the Celtics and lost 3 more games.

So once the Magic lose this game, with the same number of wins, the Celtics can directly regain the top spot.

And if the Magic wins again, they can continue to overwhelm the Celtics, and even because they won both games in the regular season, there will be certain chances for the rest of the regular season and even the possible encounters in the playoffs. psychological advantage.

Although the regular season and the playoffs are two concepts, if the record is better and the relationship between mutual victory and defeat is stronger, it can still explain some problems.

Unless there is a star explosion in the playoffs, that's another story.

At the same time, because the Magic team won the last match, the Celtics are obviously committed to revenge this time.

Especially Garnett, who was a bit haggard and vengeful, and actually said in an interview in front of the reporter that he wanted to "entertain" Li Chengming, who was in the limelight recently.

Although Li Chengming is very grateful to Kevin in private, it is impossible to show weakness at this time. After hearing this when he came to Boston, he also straightforwardly expressed in an interview that he was looking forward to Garnett's "entertainment", and Certainly not polite.

This also made the game look full of gunpowder from the very beginning, and the two sides began to quarrel when they came up. The referee even had to whistle consecutive fouls to control the situation.

In the end, Li Chengming and Garnett, who were tit-for-tat before the game, hadn't met yet, and the atmosphere had already dropped to freezing point.

The audience at TD North Shore Garden seemed very enthusiastic. As a wealthy family that complemented the Lakers, God knows how long it has been since they welcomed their own superstar, so their love for Garnett is needless to say, and there are so many in the United States. Green Army fans, this is probably part of the reason why the votes for All-Star Garnett suddenly overflowed this time.

Even if his statistics are not as impressive as they were at his peak, he has only received a lot more attention.

Therefore, as Garnett's target, Li Chengming is naturally hated now, and then there is the relationship between Tai Yi before, and he was "welcome" by boos from the audience during the warm-up.

Oh, I suddenly remembered, not only the United Arab Emirates, but Li Chengming's All-Star vote is also higher than Pierce, and he is still ahead by a margin.

So it means that they are too useless, if you have the ability, just send him up.

But the fans at home don't care about this, they only know that this Huaguo rookie is annoying, and they must boo him loudly, preferably to scare the shit out of him.

This has a tactical effect. After all, Li Chengming is also a major player of the Magic team. Without his performance, the Magic team has not been in a good state recently, and it will be difficult to beat the Green Army at home.

Li Chengming didn't know that he had received so much anger, but at the moment when he was about to appear in the rotation, the arena was booed loudly, and those who didn't know thought that Jordan was here, which also made him really feel the fans at home. Welcome".

However, in the CCTV live broadcast room, the sound has been muted, so everyone didn't feel much. Only Director Zhang laughed after seeing the frequent screen switching: "Our two new players, Ah Lian and Li Chengming, seem to be It’s not very pleasant to have trouble with this Celtics.”

Director Sun echoed: "Yeah, last time UAE came to Boston, he was also targeted by the home fans, which affected his state to some extent. As a rookie, his psychological quality is still not that hard, and he is not used to playing in this kind of environment." The atmosphere of the devil's away game. I hope Li Chengming can hold on this time..."

Director Zhang said: "The recent situation of the Magic team is not very good, but Li Chengming is still one of the best players in the team. I think he still has a big heart, and he will definitely not be affected. But just look at him today. Vin Garnett's matchup..."

However, Li Chengming came up with the first ball, but he was not facing Garnett, because after a cross screen, Li Chengming was facing the misplaced Rondo with the ball.

Although this point guard with abnormal wingspan is very good defensively, he is strong in awareness, reading tactics and capturing opponents' running positions, especially the arrival of Garnett, which taught him a lot of experience and made him more mature, but One-on-one marking is not good at all, let alone facing Li Chengming, an inside heavyweight, with the body of a guard.

He can only use skills, but Li Chengming doesn't take that at all, and obviously Rondo, who is only in the second grade, has not been able to integrate those skills, so at the moment he was about to "remove the stool", Li Chengming turned over and shot a jump shot , It even looked like Rondo gave him an open shot.

brush!
When Li Chengming came on the court, the game lasted just over 5 minutes. The score was 10:14, and the Magic were temporarily behind by 4 points.

This time it was only 2 points away, and then the Greens missed the offense. Ray Allen came out to catch the ball and hit the iron with a three-pointer. Turkoglu recovered the rebound and quickly advanced with the ball. Seeing that the opponent retreated He was quick and did not rush to attack. After Li Chengming settled down, he gave the lob.

Li Chengming leaned against Garnett, listening to the chatter behind him, and suddenly bumped into him.

"..."

Garnett didn't say a word, but his face changed instantly, and he didn't dare to say any more rubbish, otherwise Li Chengming would really die if he came again.

However, relying on his astonishingly long arms and hidden little movements, it also caused Li Chengming a lot of trouble.

He had to grit his teeth to eliminate the interference, and only slammed into Garnett's arms until he turned around directly under the basket. Garnett was not shaken and jumped, but kept his arms high to keep interference with Li Chengming. The hand is immediately a block.

Li Chengming moved left and right, did not shake Garnett away, and simply stood up forcibly, but when Garnett reached out, he directly hung up Garnett's arm and threw the ball up.

beep!
Garnett's face suddenly turned black. Well, his face was already dark enough, and it wasn't obvious, but his eyes were obviously a little angry. He opened his hand and walked towards the referee who was whistled next to him, making him subconsciously retreat step.

Li Chengming is now a rising star. Although it is impossible to give him too many resources because of his status as a Chinese national and his opposition to Durant, whom the league strongly supports, he still needs to be taken care of.

What's more, the sparks hit the earth in this game, because the wonderful performances of the two teams this season have been deliberately moved to the prime time to broadcast live across the United States, so it must be treated with caution.

Of course, Garnett is a superstar after all, so after Li Chengming made two free throws to tie the score, looking back, he was immediately found a balance whistle, and Garnett was sent to the free throw line. Immediately MMP.

After Garnett made two free throws, he was inexplicably depressed.

Because he suddenly realized that he said harsh words before the game, but when he actually went on the field, it was Li Chengming who seemed to be more ruthless.

What is his most effective offensive tool?Jump shot, what does it feel like for a [-]-footer to take off and shoot with a [-]-foot-[-] long arm?
Li Chengming felt that it was no different from Dayao jumping in front of him. After all, Dayao's height was the same as Garnett's wingspan, and his wingspan was not as good as his height, not to mention the height of his jump.

But it's Jagged's big jumper. Who would think Jagged?

On the contrary, Li Chengming is directly carrying the ball and rushing against people like a bull. It looks like a 90s iron-blooded hegemony. For the NBA, which likes the past and the present, it is most appetizing to some people.
