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

Chapter 118 Pulling
半场李成名出战刚好11分钟整，8投5中得到14分6篮板2助攻。

霍华德同样是8中5，但是罚球8投却只有3中，拿到13分8篮板，另外还有3次失误和2次犯规；特科格鲁也算尽力了，投篮5中3，罚球四次全中得到11分。

Lewis didn't take many shots, 3 of 1 three-pointers scored 5 points, and the rest were scored in twos and threes.

而在绿军那里首发更是几乎全员高效，隆多6中5拿到14分3篮板4助攻就不说了，皮尔斯、加内特和雷阿伦得分都上双了。

The biggest difference between the two teams is actually the comparison of the scores of the substitutes, but this is not a problem, because the Big Three on the Green Army's side are all in different periods of rotation. The substitute players do not take many shots but share the defensive burden. Nothing wrong with that either.

In the case of the Magic, in fact, it is only a few main players who shoot and score, including Li Chengming, who can be regarded as a "pseudo-substitute".

The Magic are slightly inferior in shooting percentage, but they make more three-pointers, which widens the gap in free throws.

However, it was not time to use foul tactics in the first half, but with Howard's free throw performance today, if the situation is still anxious in the second half, maybe he will use it directly, which will also be a hidden danger.

During the intermission, Director Zhang said: "The Magic's scoring is relatively concentrated, that is, Li Chengming, Howard and Turkoglu, and Howard is not allowed to make free throws.

"And in the recent games, I don't know if you have noticed that Rashard Lewis, who was supposed to be the team's second scoring point, doesn't seem to be scoring much and his efficiency is not high now."

Director Sun also said: "Yeah, I thought that Li Chengming and Howard might not be compatible, but I didn't expect that the one who really conflicted with him seemed to be Lewis. However, Lewis may only be a matter of state, and he has some opportunities. live.

"And he was also affected by injuries before, which may have affected his state. The season is still very long, and there is still time for him to slowly regain his state."

Of course, this actually has a certain problem of possession of the ball. As Li Chengming now appears more in the fourth position and has more playing time and shooting opportunities, a lot of what he occupies should belong to Lewis. Offensive scenes, including partnering with Howard.

Stars are not gods after all, and even compared to the kind of role players who can play in the microwave oven, stars need the ball more and need to hold the ball to find the feeling.

Although Lewis shoots well, he is not the kind of shooter who relies entirely on catching and shooting. At least in the interior, he needs a certain face-up attack to open up the situation. In this way, at least when he is in a bad state and feels bad, he can Keep your confidence, and then slowly get back to the state.

But now that the team has Li Chengming, when Lewis feels bad, they habitually go directly to the more stable Li Chengming to solve the problem.

In this way, the team's offensive problem may be solved, but Lewis' personal offensive problem has not been solved. From another perspective, this may be a good thing for Li Chengming, but for Lewis, he still wants to go further. For the team, it may not be so good.

Van Gundy also saw this, so many times now he staggers the playing time of Li Chengming and Lewis as much as possible, and then gives Lewis some opportunities to attack independently.

It's just that if he follows the substitute lineup, he is likely to be beaten by others, so it's hard to say whether this is good or bad for him.

Lewis himself was also very depressed when he missed the shot. When he was off the court, he rubbed his face with a towel, and then stared blankly at Li Chengming on the court.

It was already the end of halftime, and in the second half, four and a half minutes into the third quarter, Lewis had to go off the court to rest because he had accumulated four fouls.

However, in the time before this, his performance was not very qualified, and he and Howard could even be called crouching dragons and phoenixes.

First, he missed a three-pointer from the outside, and when he went down to catch the ball for a layup, Garnett, who followed behind, directly gave him a big cap.

After finally catching the ball from the basket and making a foul, he scored, but because his left foot went out of the baseline first, he was ruled invalid and turned into a mistake.

And Howard can be called "a bright moment". Not only did he only hit 1 of [-] free throws when he was sent to the free throw line twice, but the flight attendant actually conceded a goal.

Under their performance, the Green Army successfully widened the point difference. When Li Chengming played, the score had become 53:62. If it weren't for Turkoglu's three-pointer + breakthrough foul and scored 5 points in a row , the score difference seems to be going to double digits.

After Li Chengming came on the field, Lewis was replaced. At the same time, Van Gundy also brought up Du Lin and Evans, and Turkoglu also went off to rest first.

"Li Chengming once again faced Garnett. This time the collision between the two sides looked very intense. Garnett didn't ask for help. He planned to withstand the defense alone..."

"Li Chengming is also very cautious, because he needs to guard against traps, especially when facing this kind of defensive old-fashioned stick, it is very likely that he will accidentally get the ball out, or cause a dribble to hit someone."

At this time, Director Zhang's voice suddenly rose, "Li Chengming turned around and shot a fallback jumper. Garnett realized it and stretched his arms to interfere, but Li Chengming still made a shot-oh, it's a pity that the ball lacked a little luck and didn't hit it." Go in. Hey! But Howard grabbed the offensive rebound and dunked it directly at the basket, and Perkins couldn't stop him at all!"

When Li Chengming made the shot, Perkins was stuck in the position, but Howard jumped up directly from behind him and dunked the ball into the basket with one arm, almost pressing on Perkins, which was like a dunk.

However, Perkins has probably been used to calling it the background board for a long time. Although he frowned and felt a little uncomfortable, he didn't say anything.

At this time, Li Chengming took the initiative to lean into Garnett's ear and BB a few words: "Hey, you guys had a great time just now, but don't even think about getting another chance, because I'm here!"

Garnett sneered: "Don't talk to me about the garbage that missed the ball..."

Li Chengming smiled, but he was not angry, and saw if the other party was angry.

Garnett was really angry, with a fire in his heart, he leaned on Li Chengming on the offensive end in the next round and wanted to turn over and shoot a jumper, but because he was pushed out by Li Chengming when he was in position, he didn't get stuck in the position at all. , although Ray Allen still hoisted the ball in, but Garnett made a direct shot too hastily, and he hit it firmly.

After Howard got the rebound, he saw Li Chengming turned his head and shrugged at him, he couldn't help but gritted his teeth secretly, but he comforted himself in his heart, knowing that this rookie wanted to provoke himself deliberately, because they were behind, he provoked himself and wanted to make mistakes. Hope to win.

As long as he doesn't fall for it, they have no chance.

Yes, that's right.

But looking back at the Magic's offense, Li Chengming made an off-ball screen for Evans. Evans was about to shoot after receiving the pass. This time Garnett and Pierce made a communication error, and the two went to catch Evans at the same time. Si, instead vacated Li Chengming.

Evans passed the ball to Li Chengming and hit a jumper, his 16th point.

The point difference came to 4 points again, but Rivers did not call a timeout.

The Greens attacked, Pierce faced Evans in a low post, and Evans couldn't defend against this big ass. Li Chengming had to go up to double-team, Pierce sent the ball to Garnett, and Howard immediately defended.

Garnett made another pass to Perkins. Perkins didn't take a direct shot to the basket, but Howard turned around and blocked it. He wanted to pass back to Garnett. Turning around, Ray Allen caught the ball and saw that there was not much time to adjust and shot directly. This time he missed.

Li Chengming protected the backcourt rebound against Garnett, then quickly turned his head to take a look, and directly passed it to Du Lin who was about to go down. Du Lin caught the ball and made a layup, adding another rebound and one assist. .

With only 2 points left, Rivers finally called a timeout.

"Li Chengming led the team to catch up with the score as soon as he came up, and the Green Army had to call a timeout."

Seeing Li Chengming's outstanding performance, the live broadcast room of CCTV, which was still somewhat lifeless just now, suddenly came alive, and the joy of the two commentators could finally be heard from the voices.
