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

Chapter 132 Three are not as good as one

Although the Magic's home record is not very good, after all, the team's performance so far this season has been very unexpected, so the attendance rate of the Amway Center is still steadily improving, and the fans will look forward to it again every time. Show up in the arena, waiting for the team to reap a home victory.

And when encounters such as Howard, Li Chengming, and Nelson who performed well in the team's draft, the joy of an old father who watched his children grow up and become successful also came to his heart.

Correspondingly, those Houston fans who watched the game in various places have very complicated hearts.

It is mainly a pity that the team did not select Li Chengming in the draft, although they also have a "rookie" who performed well in the team.

In addition to Scola, an old rookie who just landed in the NBA this year, there is actually another rookie in Houston's lineup, Aaron Brooks, a 1.8-meter-two, 22-year-old older rookie point guard.

He also played in this game. He played for a few minutes in the transition period to cover the vacancy of the back line. His performance was only passable, but compared with Li Chengming, it pales in comparison.

There is no way, the 26th pick in the first round, there is no better choice, and it is impossible to open the eyes of the sky.

Compared with Brooks, what makes people more regrettable is that they used the No. 54 pick to select Australian striker Brad Newley. He did not stay after Summer League, which means that the pick was wasted. .

It's fine if there are no good players in the back, but Li Chengming was selected with the No. 60 pick.This is also the most regrettable thing for fans.

After all, the combination of Scola, Brooks and the gone Newley may not be as good as Li Chengming alone.

Of course, it's not just them. Any team other than the Magic that has a draft pick, including the SuperSonics, has regretted not choosing Li Chengming, from the management to the fans. Naturally, the Mavericks regret the most.

Ma Jian also mentioned: "Before I saw some Houston fans on the Internet, what would happen if Li Chengming and Dayao were on the same team. Then I still think it is better now, not to belittle Li Chengming. Personal ability, but in Houston, he may be a Scola at most now.

"Many people still ignore that in the Magic team, with Howard inside, Li Chengming can rest assured that he can play well in his comfort zone. This is a rare growth environment for rookies. As an offensive For a rookie player who is strong and weak, I have to say that Li Chengming's luck is also a bit good.

"Because Howard's style of play is focused on the basket, and after the pick-and-roll, the low post is actually relatively easy to let go, and he can even help grab offensive rebounds for a second offense, and he can wipe his ass on the defensive end. Li Chengming checks for gaps and fills in gaps.

"In comparison, I think the situation on the side of the United Arab Emirates is relatively worse. Although he may not be as good as Li Chengming in terms of ability, but if he is next to Howard, I think he should also play better. It's better now..."

Of course, this is just his personal opinion. It is not necessarily true that football commentators and commentators can understand football better than fans. What's more, things that haven't happened are just casual talk.

It's like some fans still think that Ma Jian is the number one power forward in history...

Yang Yi didn't answer the question directly, and changed the topic calmly, "During this time, Li Chengming has done a good job of restricting Dayao, going around, getting stuck, interfering... It can be said that he has exhausted all kinds of means .Yao is also very eager to perform in front of this little brother, but he can't guarantee that he can score every goal."

"I think Houston should still create more opportunities for Dayao to catch and shoot the ball better, and don't let him waste his energy for nothing. If Dayao and Li Chengming are exchanged, it is not very cost-effective for them. You are just one core, and there are Howard, Lewis, and Turkoglu on the opposite side..."

This is actually the reason why Li Chengming took the initiative to ask Ying to defend Dayao, and Van Gundy agreed directly, because Texas Xiaoqiang's lineup is actually weak except for Dayao. If this core is restricted, it will be difficult for other players. Count on standing out.

If Li Chengming can consume Dayao more, then Howard can play more comfortably in the second half.

Of course, there is no doubt about the pressure Dayao brought to Li Chengming. After all, there is too much height difference. Besides, he also knows that Dayao can shoot when he is pulled up. Can't defend.

In this case, even if he is allowed to catch the ball, he has to find a confrontation for the opponent as much as possible. On the one hand, push him out as much as possible to prevent him from getting too close to the basket.

Although Dayao's offense can be regarded as having no dead ends within the three-point line, the closer he is to the basket, the more accurate he will be.

The second is to interrupt his rhythm and disrupt his body balance when he senses that he is about to shoot.

This is after observing from the sidelines in the last game and several matchups in this game, and gradually figured out some of the referee's standards.

In fact, the mentality of the referee is not difficult to understand, and there are also targets for Yao, but on the other hand, just like O'Neal facing the basket and James in the tank breakthrough, many foul-like actions are even considered tacit approval of.

Everyone's fans think those are foul moves, but in a game like the NBA, whether it is a foul is not based on the rules or conventions, but on-the-spot needs.

For example, referees need to find some balanced whistles, such as superstar whistles for ornamental purposes, or home whistles. Of course, there are also black whistles that are privately required by the league and even involve gambling.

And this kind of reverse superstar whistle, from another point of view, is also to maintain the fluency of the game, otherwise they really can only make them go to the free throw line and make penalties, penalties, and penalties.

Fans know that only fouls can stop them, and the league is certainly not foolish.

It’s just that O’Neill and James suffered losses in this area, and they can make up for it in other areas, but Dayao doesn’t have the convenience in this area. It may be due to discrimination, or there may be other reasons.

Originally, McGrady could enjoy some of O'Neal's benefits and some of Dayao's benefits like Kobe back then, but since the two joined forces, they have not played a season in a serious and healthy way. Either this injury or that injury, plus The flaws in the team's lineup have caused them to always be stuck.

If there is no progress in the second half of the season, maybe it can only stop in the first round.

"nice shot!"

At this time, it was Houston's offensive round on the field, and Dayao still stood up and responded strongly. After receiving the ball, he directly hit a ball on the top of Li Chengming's head. He also fouled Li Chengming because of looking for a confrontation, and scored another 2+1. .

When he has sufficient physical strength, strength and concentration, Dayao is indeed unstoppable.

The additional penalty was also hit this time, and Houston led by 3 points again, and there was less than 1 minute left in the game, that is, three or four rounds, and the first half was coming to an end.

The Magic of course want to tie or even overtake to end the half, so the midfielder has a psychological advantage.

Nelson held the ball and pushed forward. Li Chengming ran out to catch the ball on the wing and pulled Hayes out.

He made a fake three-point shot. Hayes seemed a little nervous and was tricked. Li Chengming dribbled the ball and went straight to the basket. Dayao came to defend him. Li Chengming did not challenge him and gave it to the other side Lewis.

It's a pity that Lewis missed a three-pointer from the corner this time, Dayao protected the rebound, and Li Chengming didn't foul rashly.

However, they missed the attack this time, and the ball was shot out of bounds. When the ball was dead, Van Gundy brought Howard up to replace Lewis at this time, intending to strengthen his mobility.

In just over half a minute, if you control it, it shouldn't be so unlucky to fill in another foul... right?

The Magic team was on the ground, and Nelson still gave the ball to Li Chengming. Li Chengming observed the positions of his teammates, leaned his back and turned around to shoot, ignoring his opponent this time.

The opponent didn't have time to double-team this time, and Hayes didn't dare to reach out casually. Although his fouls weren't too many, he knew that he probably couldn't prevent Li Chengming and paid for the foul in vain.

"Li Chengming let out a roar, his iconic hot-blooded jump shot, his movements are actually very smooth, and after losing weight, this movement looks better." Yi Yi commented with a smile, and it was really hard to tell whether it was a compliment or Make complaints.

"There are more than 20 seconds left in the end. Houston should press the time and then hit the success rate..."
