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

Chapter 116 Hidden danger
Not to mention others, even Garnett himself is quite envious of Li Chengming's style of play. After all, he grew up watching the 90s NBA ball, and he also has a longing for the kind of strong confrontation game where the inside muscles collide. .

But helpless, how can I not help myself grow this body and muscles, he is born so thin and tall, expecting him to fight with others in the interior, it is meaningless to consume him.

On the offensive end, as Garnett has first-class ball-handling skills inside, the main method of personal offense with the ball is a turnaround jumper. With a height of [-] feet, he has the effect of swinging forward and guard, which also makes his shooting impossible. Defense depends on his own feeling.

If you want him to fight like Li Chengming, first of all, strength is not his personal strong point, that is tantamount to exploiting weaknesses and avoiding strengths, there is no way to fight like this.

On the defensive end, Garnett has never been famous for his one-on-one top defense on the inside, but he can use his super long wingspan and movement to help defend, make up defense, and even switch defenses on the outside. The ability to keep up with the opponent and completely cover it to force the opponent to only play the ball.

So they are all false reports of height. Others report higher. For example, defenders with a height of 1.8 meters must report to 1.9 meters, and those who are less than [-] meters must report to [-] meters. Or, like Ben Wallace, add a The afro has only reached the registered height of [-] meters, which is actually only about two meters.

On the contrary, Garnett wants to report short. The reason is simple. He doesn't want to play center, and he doesn't even want to play inside in the first place.

It’s just that it’s too tall. At that time, it wasn’t like it is now. A seven-footer who made a big change of direction or shot a three-pointer from the outside, what was he thinking?

In fact, according to the current configuration of the Celtics, a meat shield on the inside defends, Garnett helps defend against interference, and can attack at any time. Even if he encounters the peak O'Neal, he can fight a little bit. Howard is alone. It's also easy to deflate against them.

But who knew that there would be a freak like Li Chengming in the Magic?
With a height of two meters, relying on his strength, he was able to forcibly kill a bloody path inside.

In fact, what makes Li Chengming the most powerful now is not his low-post singles ability. No matter how powerful he is, the opponent can also equip a meat shield against him like he did against O'Neal back then, at least making him less comfortable. .

Li Chengming doesn't have O'Neal's running and jumping ability. If he just relies on his strength to make a fallback jumper like a swingman, he won't be able to achieve the effect he is seeing now.

The key is that Li Chengming can also pull out and shoot, with a soft touch that even extends beyond the three-point line. He can be inside and outside, three and four. This is his most buggy point.

And the key is that as a rookie, appearing on the already good Magic team, the inside line can be matched with Howard, a master of penalty area defense and pie-eating, who can cooperate with him on the offensive end and help him fill up on the defensive end. This, on the contrary, allowed him to maximize his role.

Especially the Green Army needs to defend both Li Chengming and Howard, and no matter which one Garnett is facing, he will suffer a little when defending alone.

From the point of view of the inside line alone, Garnett is the only one in the Celtics who can match the Magic. The rest are either defensive blue-collars or rookies. If the defense is strengthened, it will inevitably lose part of the inside offense.

On the defensive end, it is still difficult to defend, because whoever faces Garnett, Li Chengming or Howard, will directly play singles, forcing them to double-team, and the ball is an opportunity.

The defense of the Celtics is very strong. They have many elite defenders. Garnett himself is a master of sweeping defense. There are James Posey and Tony Allen on the flanks. Rondo and Eddie House are on the back line. The defense is good, and Ray Allen is also on the level.

The decline in Garnett's scoring and other statistics this season is actually related to his focus on the defensive end. Because Pierce and Ray Allen are in the team, he does not need to take on the main task of the team's defense and can concentrate on defense. And he, who is eager for a championship, is also willing to drop his identity to do those dirty jobs.

But in the face of the current inside of the Magic team, the defensive resources of the Green Army are somewhat insufficient.

In the next round, Li Chengming faced Garnett again. He really couldn't stand it alone. When he got to the basket, Perkins had to come forward to flank him. Because Li Chengming was short and easy to bully, he couldn't see the other side. Howard on one side is prone to mistakes if he plays the ball rashly.

Unexpectedly, Li Chengming threw the ball up without even looking at it, and a figure suddenly appeared behind Perkins, catching the ball and dunking directly, turning the two people who just turned around into the background plate.

"Li Chengming assisted Howard for a dunk, and the Magic are still clinging to the score!"

Director Zhang chuckled and said, "This Li Chengming, I feel that the Magic's offense is different. The Celtics have to defend against Howard and Li Chengming. Is Garnett's defense strong? Strong, but he is not suitable for defending these two types. If you make him stand up to either one, he will not be able to withstand it.

"They have to help defend and double-team, so that teammates' opportunities will come out. Of course, it also depends on their tacit understanding. It seems that Coach Van Gundy is usually aware of this and has rehearsed emphatically."

Director Sun said: "I think Li Chengming's passing ability is also somewhat underestimated. Although he doesn't have many assists per game, he rarely makes mistakes when he distributes the ball. At least he can allow the Magic to reorganize their offense."

When returning to defense, Howard and Li Chengming clapped their hands, and both of them had bright smiles on their faces.

Seeing this scene, Director Zhang immediately said: "It was rumored before that because Li Chengming's performance is getting better and better, Howard has a sense of crisis. Now it seems that there should be no problem."

"I don't think the problem is too big. Judging from the evaluations of Ah Lian and Dayao in the interviews, Li Chengming is actually quite good-natured and good at being a man, and he doesn't really steal the limelight. This is more from the US side. The media is up to something..."

This is not a rare thing. Dayao was criticized by many people because of the two vote winners, and then changed the rules.

Putting it on Li Chengming, it would be strange if he didn't say anything.

The game on the field is still going on. Although the Green Army can't prevent the Magic from attacking, but the same, the Magic can't prevent them either.

The result was that the two sides played back and forth for the rest of the time. By the end of the first quarter, at 25:27, the Magic temporarily fell behind by 2 points.

The scoring efficiency of both sides is actually not bad, but the rhythm of offense and defense is slowly suppressed, and most of them fall into positional battles.

The Celtics have been used to dragging their opponents into this rhythm this season, and then slowly tortured and finally used their most familiar methods to end their opponents.

Although the Magic has Howard, a mobile center with strong running and jumping ability, from the back line to the front line, they all prefer the rhythm of positional warfare. They rely on pick-and-roll and other tactical cooperation to use breakthroughs and conduct the ball to create scoring opportunities.

Now there is another low-level killer like Li Chengming, a fighting chicken in positional warfare...

However, although the pace of the game is slow, the offensive and defensive dismantling of the two sides is very enjoyable to watch. Whether it is the fans on the scene or the audience in front of the TV, they are still full of interest.

At this time, Director Zhang said: "The Green Army is very efficient, and they are blooming more. The Magic's offense is a bit too concentrated on the inside. Although the opponent can't defend them, if they get better later, their offensive efficiency will be improved." The decline, the situation of the game may also change..."
