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

Chapter 128 New Year's Eve
The next day, the Magic suffered another back-to-back, returning home to play the Bobcats again.

However, because the consumption in the previous game was not too high, and after the winning streak started again, the morale of all members of the Magic team was high, and it seemed that they had regained the state and spirit during the [-]th consecutive victory, and easily captured the cat.

Howard grabbed 21 rebounds again. Unfortunately, because of the fall of free throws, he only scored 14 points and failed to get 20+20.

And Turkoglu and Lewis also hit hard one after another, scoring 20+, and the five starting five players from the Magic all scored in double figures.

When playing against the Heat, because Nelson sprained his ankle while chasing Wade and retired, he did not play in this game and rested directly.

Fortunately, after the inspection, the problem is not serious, just a little sore and swollen. I should be fine after two days of rest, and I can catch up with the next game.

所以本场阿罗约顶替首发出场，11投5中拿到13分5篮板8助攻。

Li Chengming played 23 minutes. He changed his style of play today. Because he ate dumplings outside the three-point line, he scored 7 points on 5 of 15 shots and helped the team directly open the point difference in the second quarter.

In the first quarter, the Bobcats, who were still in good shape and took the lead, fell behind by 11 points at halftime, with a net loss of 15 points in a single quarter.

Then they could no longer pull back the point difference. In the third quarter, all members of the Magic team took the game away with force, allowing Jason Richardson to score 34 points and swallow the bitter fruit of this defeat.

Perhaps the Magic's early schedule was too fast and too difficult, so this period of time has been arranged for them.

After the Knicks, Heat, and Bobcats, it was the Bulls' turn.

The Bulls may have had a glorious history, but that was long gone in the 90s.

This game was the last game of the Magic in 07. They also wanted to make a good ending, so they didn't... No, in fact, they still gave some opportunities in the first quarter.

However, after Li Chengming and other substitutes came on the bench, they quickly overtook the score, and the point difference was directly opened up in the second quarter.

The comeback Nelson came off the bench and turned into a bench gangster with Li Chengming, facing the best sixth man on the opposite side, Ben Gordon.

Facts have proved that two fists are hard to beat four hands. Although Ben Gordon scored 32 points, 4 rebounds and 2 assists, he was still defeated in the face of the Magic with two 20+ scoring benches.

Of course, in fact, all three of them can be regarded as having starting strength. Li Chengming's role as a substitute is a position conflict, Nelson is coming back to find his status, and Gordon is the team's positioning, which is to let him come off the bench to grab points.

However, none of them can compare to the real most dazzling star today. Howard grabbed 20+ rebounds in three consecutive games, which was shocking and became the only active player. · Wallace more times than Howard.

O'Neal's scoring ability is stronger, but his performance on rebounding is still slightly inferior.

Of course, it could also be that the big fat guy is lazy, after all, he is the one who can get 40+20 in the finals.

In this game, Howard's shooting was not good. He only made 10 of 4 shots, but he was not as good as a free throw. He only scored 16 points, but he grabbed 23 rebounds, 3 steals and 7 blocked shots. Data, completed an alternative quasi-triple double.

It was also because of his performance on the defensive end that the Magic even had a clean sheet in the first half of the third quarter. It was only after Gordon came on the court that they broke the Bobcats' scoring drought.

At the end of the game, the Magic won five consecutive victories with 108:94.

Li Chengming scored 20 points and 10 rebounds, which was the first time in his career that he scored 20+10. He successfully triggered the hidden task reward and gained... 5 points of calorie consumption.

╯ (╯ ▽ ╰) ╭

Nelson scored 22 points, Lewis 17 points, Turkoglu 14 points, and six of the team scored in double figures.

After this game, not only Li Chengming and Nelson's performance on the bench, but also Howard's 20+ rebounds in three consecutive games are talked about. One really came back."

The previous [-]-game winning streak shocked the league with the youthful energy and terrible resilience displayed by the Magic. They were good offensively and defensively, but they fell back in the middle, and now they seem to be back to the past, at least according to the statistics.

In these few games, the Magic's offensive and defensive efficiency has returned to the top three in the league. The only problem may be that they are facing weak teams. Even if it is a five-game winning streak, there are back-to-backs. It is hard to say whether there is any water in it. .

At present, the Magic have played 33 games, which is almost the most in the league. They have a record of 27 wins and 6 losses, which is still two more wins than the Celtics.

However, the performance of the Celtics with 25 wins and 4 losses is equally astonishing, and it also surprises them with their terrible stability.

Although we formed such a lineup during the offseason, everyone knows that we are aiming to win the championship, but the lineup is one thing, and winning the championship is another.

History is not without a good lineup but poor performance. The most recent is the Nets troika. Kidd and Carter are the kings respectively.

What's more, it seems that this kind of team formed at the end of their careers. Whether it was the old Big Three in Houston or the F04 of the Lakers in 4, they all ended in failure.

Before that, except for Garnett, Ray Allen and Pierce can only be regarded as All-Star level, in fact, it is difficult to talk about "giant".

You must know that when Houston "gathered together", the two MVPs, Olajuwon and Barkley, teamed up with Glider, the former "second shooting guard", and the Lakers were the core of the three consecutive championships. The core players who both led the team to the finals, the MVP-level Malone and DPOY Payton, ended up with nothing.

The only good thing is that Garnett and the others are actually still in their prime, and when they join forces, their combat effectiveness is much stronger than others, but their adaptability is still surprising.

But it will only take two or three years to achieve results, and if it fails after that, it will really fail.

……

Compared with the previous Christmas, New Year's Eve is relatively less lively.

However, during the vacation, Li Chengming took Jon and Sheila to watch a movie together.

They wanted to come out to watch the blockbuster Christmas movie before, because the magic was not arranged for the Christmas war, and Li Chengming could rest and spend a good Christmas.

For NBA players, there is really no choice but to make a choice when encountering such a holiday and game conflict.

Of course, this year's Christmas game is exciting enough even without the Magic. The Lakers and the Suns, and the Cavaliers against the Heat, these two games alone are worth the ticket price.

In fact, Li Chengming didn't go out. He just had dinner with his father and the McGilton family at home and watched the Lakers game by the way.

It is worth mentioning that the Green Army is also not scheduled for the Christmas game, which may be a good thing for the veterans, they can have enough time to rest and spend time with their families.

The reason why Li Chengming didn't choose it at the time was that there were too many people outside, and he didn't like to join in wherever there were many people and where the excitement was like the children.

What's more, with his current reputation in Orlando, it might not be a good thing to appear in a crowded place. It would be bad if it caused some riots. As a celebrity, you must have this self-awareness.

Today happened to be a working day, and there was no holiday for Christmas and New Year's Eve, so there were relatively fewer people in the theater.

But Li Chengming was recognized when he went to the place. Of course, he was not alone with the two children. The borders of foreign countries are not necessarily safe. Among other things, there are also pickpockets in such crowded places.

So bodyguards are necessary at this time, and not one, but two, just to protect both sides and open the way.

After all, his body shape is too eye-catching, and he can't even pretend to be a disguise.

Bringing bodyguards is more for isolation. After all, no one dares to provoke him easily because of his size, although this may be more eye-catching.

Fortunately, coming out at this time is either to bring family or couples. The main purpose is to date, and watching movies is second. Seeing a celebrity like Li Chengming, I just stop and watch for a while, and it will not affect him too much. .

However, Xie La still complained a little when entering the cinema, "I knew this would happen, so I would book the movie tickets first and come back."

That way, they can wait until after the movie starts and just come in, with a lot less hassle.

Jon glanced at Li Chengming, grinned and said, "If you don't come out with Li, it shouldn't be such a trouble."

Xie La snorted, "Isn't it because he said he wanted to treat guests, I agreed to come down..."

Seeing the girl's duplicity, Li Chengming and Qiao En looked at each other and smiled.
