Chapter 121
Sure enough, after the Magic team's lineup in the fourth quarter was laid out, Director Zhang and Director Sun were a little confused.

"At this time, only Li Chengming is brought up alone, and he is asked to lead four substitutes alone. Will Coach Van Gundy be a little overwhelmed?"

Director Sun speculated: "Is it because of the penalty, but there is still a whole quarter in the fourth quarter, and the situation may still change..."

The Celtics were also puzzled by this, and they taunted at the scene whether the Magic had taken the initiative to give up the game, and the home fans still booed Li Chengming on the field.

But 2 minutes later, when Li Chengming faced Posey with the ball in a low position again, he arched his back to the basket and scored the goal and caused a foul. He went to the free throw line and made an additional penalty. At the same time, his personal score also reached 21 points At that time, there was an eerie moment of silence at the scene, and the home fans seemed to be strangled and unable to make a sound.

But then there was a burst of more violent shouts, but for Li Chengming at this time, instead of creating pressure, it made him eager to try.

Li Chengming smiled happily, but when he noticed the referee next to him, he restrained the joy on his face.

If the other party really came here with a mission, he would be provoking it. Provoking the fans is a good thing, provoking the referee is asking for trouble in this commercial league, even the stars can't do it easily.

The two directors in the CCTV commentary booth also praised Li Chengming's performance in these 2 minutes. Director Sun said: "After Li Chengming came up, he scored two offenses and got a fast break opportunity once, helping the ball. The team tied the score.

"It seems that the Celtics have to call a timeout to adjust first. After Garnett left the field, their defensive communication was a bit messy, and they didn't grasp the timing of the double-team. They gave the Magic some opportunities."

Director Zhang also smiled and said: "Coach Van Gundy really trusts Li Chengming. He has already started to lead the team alone in just over 2 games. Li Chengming is the boss on the field in these [-] minutes, and he has lived up to it." What the team expects from him."

But what puzzled them was that the Greens served from the backcourt as usual, and House got the ball and pushed it directly to the frontcourt. Rivers did not call a timeout.

He stared and opened his mouth on the sidelines, without moving a bit, he seemed to be in a daze...

However, there is always a "giant" on the Celtics field. Ray Allen's hand feeling is also good today. Allen took two steps forward and suddenly retreated to widen the distance. Du Lin couldn't control his body and couldn't keep up.

Ray Allen made a jumper and hit it easily.

It is worth mentioning that Rashad Lewis and Ray Allen, the former supersonic two-gun combination, are now their own masters. Teammates who once fought side by side have now become rivals.

It's just that Lewis has been in a mediocre state recently. He has averaged less than 15 points per game in the past three games since his comeback, and his three-point shooting percentage is less than 30%. This is also an important reason why the Magic have played more difficult recently.

Some domestic fans even began to laugh and say that Lewis's contract should be divided in half to Li Chengming. After all, he doesn't play like a rookie at all, but more like the real second leader of the Magic team.

In this game, Lewis still failed to recover, but the three-pointer came back a little bit, and he, who was supposed to be in charge of confronting Ray Allen, failed to make up for it. Fortunately, Li Chengming was able to make up for it.

Then in the Magic's offensive round, Li Chengming didn't ask for the ball in the low post. He played the same routine too much and was easy to be guarded.

Although it is said that one move is popular all over the world, the Green Army can't really defend against it, but it is easy to be targeted by the referee when the position at the basket is grabbing position, because there are many body movements, it is better to hit it honestly Tactics to see the effect.

After all, in addition to Li Chengming, Arroyo also has a certain ability to control the ball in this lineup.

What's more, this kind of card position consumes a lot of energy. Although he didn't play much before today because of foul problems, he also fought hand-to-hand with Perkins, Garnett, and Pollard for more than ten minutes. Time is simply meaningless consumption, and now I still look a little tired.

This time Li Chengming pulled out to pick and roll for Arroyo. After switching defenses, Arroyo faced Posey and got half a body ahead to the basket.

He seemed a little irrational about the ball, but he didn't have time to think about it at that moment. He was afraid of the ball being snatched away, and he was afraid of making a mistake in the pass, so he simply shot and wanted to foul.

But the referee didn't blow the whistle, but at the moment Arroyo made a shot, Li Chengming was already stuck in his position, and then jumped up to point out the basketball that came out of the basket as expected.

Evans received the ball and shot a three-pointer directly. The Green Army's defense line has been disrupted at the moment, and they didn't care about him at all. This time they did.

"Maurice Evans scored another three-pointer, and the Magic overtook the score. If we continue to play like this, we still have a chance when the main players come back!"

Director Zhang chuckled and said, "The Magic team really relies on Li Chengming. He can even do the dirty work, and even if he's a head short, he can point out the rebounds directly from his position."

In fact, it is precisely because of his short height that he can only choose this method. Otherwise, it is very likely that the rebound will be snatched by Perkins behind him.

Of course, it is true that Perkins's own bounce is average, and his wingspan is not much beyond Li Chengming.

Li Chengming and Evans clapped their hands when returning to defense. The latter has almost scored 10 points today. Although he did not take many shots, he has only conceded one goal so far.

However, they still failed to defend on the defensive end. Ray Allen attracted the defense and went straight to the basket this time. Li Chengming didn't realize the ball, and he was already slow when he turned around. He hit an easy layup.

He didn't go forward to avoid being fouled again when he got it, and more than three minutes had passed, and Van Gundy was ready to replace the main players one after another at this time.

Li Chengming has played even beyond his imagination during this period. If I really want to talk about the turning point, Rivers did not call a timeout to re-arrange when the score was tied in 2 minutes, so although the Magic can't prevent it, they The offense was opened, and the referee seemed really confused by this lineup, so he didn't intervene much.

When Howard, Lewis, Turkoglu and Bogans replaced one after another, Li Chengming also moved to the third position.

But maybe because Li Chengming was in a hot state at this time, and he was worried that the referee would mess with him, he quickly let him score more points at this time, so the next offensive round was still the main attack on Li Chengming.

Empty one side to give him a chance to play singles with the ball in the waist. This time Li Chengming faced Pierce, who had switched defenses, and Garnett, who also returned to the court on the other side, was eyeing him.

The two sides are now a duel of the main players, and Rivers, who realized the situation belatedly, didn't seem to think of a way to deal with it, so he simply put the starters back on the court.

Pierce, who had made two free throws on the offensive end to stabilize the score just now, faced Li Chengming, and it was very difficult to carry. The two were about the same height, but Pierce was even worse than Li Chengming in terms of wingspan. Pierce's size is already considered a heavy forward and even affects his movement speed, but on the defensive end, he can't help Li Yong with his unique big butt.

Li Chengming's shoulders suddenly swayed left and right. Pierce swayed and opened his hand to the right, but Li Chengming turned around and wiped Zuo.

Later, Garnett stepped forward to block in time, and Li Chengming made an emergency stop and shot a fallback jumper. The ball even adjusted its arc, and the basketball passed Garnett's fingertips and entered the basket.

brush!
With his 23rd point, the Magic also overtook the score again, 85:84.

Director Zhang shouted: "In the fourth quarter, Li Chengming scored 7 points in three consecutive games. It's already unstoppable!"
