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

Chapter 135 Ignite the arena
Van Gundy's expression darkened for a moment, and then his expression became a little helpless.

Howard felt a little aggrieved and wanted to argue with the referee, but this foul was actually not controversial, and it was indeed his frizz.

In other words, it ignored the ability of Scola, the face of an older rookie.

This Latin American man with flowing long hair seems to have used their football talent in another place. Even Li Chengming is amazed by the change in footsteps.

Li Chengming can at least rely on his own experience to make judgments, but Howard still exposed that he sometimes loves to dance too much and cannot control his physical instincts. This can be his advantage. It can become a problem.

There were still 10 minutes to go in the fourth quarter, and Howard, who had just played for more than a minute, had to be replaced first, and Van Gundy thought about it and decided to bring Li Chengming up ahead of time.

Howard's defensive strength dropped after the game, so he can only make up for it in offense. Today, the Magic's offense is most assured by Li Chengming. Of course, Nelson is also in good condition, but he almost played the third quarter and also needs to rest.

The Magic are now able to drive the bench on their own, except for Howard and Turkoglu, that is, Li Chengming.

Lewis' offensive form is fine, but he is clearly in a low period during this time.

It is said that the biggest disadvantage of expensive things is that they are expensive. Van Gundy is not dissatisfied with Lewis. He also occupies a very important position in his own tactical system, but now when the team needs him, he cannot stand up. This is indeed a bit disappointing.

Fortunately, they still have Li Chengming!
Li Chengming only came back after resting for two or three minutes off the court, but to be honest, because he didn't attack much before, he didn't consume a lot of energy, so at this time his physical strength is still relatively abundant.

He first hit a goal against Scola's defense. Scola's deficiencies on the defensive end are as obvious as his advantages on the offensive end. Of course, not everyone can easily catch it.

As a Latin American player, he has also inherited certain characteristics, such as actor-level performances, but it may be that he has just entered the NBA and is not able to let it go. Facing Li Chengming, it is really hard for him to say that he has any advantages.

Li Chengming's running and jumping ability is affected by his body shape and his hips are relatively stretched, especially in sports battles. He seldom hits amazing goals, and most of them are simple and unpretentious low-position skills.

But in front of Scola, Li Chengming has become the more advantageous side.

Not only did the ball go in the air, but it also drew Scola's blocking foul.

This has to mention the adaptability of international players, especially established players who have already played professional games, to the NBA, including Dayao back then.

Because the rules of FIBA ​​are different from those of NBA. For commercial purposes and to encourage offense, especially outside offense, the NBA has made many settings for inside lanes, including reasonable collision zones. The current FIBA ​​does not have such settings.

Of course, the NBA's reasonable collision zone is just a statement that is easy to understand.

And just as some NBA players are used to the rules of the NBA, playing in international leagues may be exhausting. Latin American players like Scola come to the NBA with different rules. Although they have adapted, sometimes they will inevitably make mistakes. Next some small mistakes.

For example, Scola failed to stand outside the collision zone, and if one foot was still inside the arc, he was naturally sentenced to a defensive foul.

Li Chengming stood on the free throw line, but this time the extra penalty did not make a free throw, he was also taken aback for a moment.

And Howard on the bench next to him couldn't help laughing when he saw this scene. It's not unusual to make 2 of 1 free throws, but 2+0 is more funny.

Yang Yi also said cheerfully: "So far this season, Li Chengming, as an insider who mainly plays low-post singles with the ball, doesn't count too many free throws, but his shooting percentage has reached more than 90%, which is a very amazing statistic. .”

In fact, this seems to be predictable. Of course, it is not about Li Chengming's free throw percentage. It is strange that the punishment is not good.

His shooting ability itself is very good, and now it is getting more and more accurate. After entering the NBA, scientific and systematic training is also helpful. After all, there are not only nutritionists, physical trainers, but also special shooting trainers here. In a certain aspect, help players find the right way to improve.

Although this kind of improvement is not as intuitive and strong as the system, for Li Chengming, this is what makes him feel at ease.

Sometimes he also worries about the origin of his system, and feels a little unreliable about his current success, so compared to those system skills, he even cares more about these ordinary things accumulated bit by bit.

92:87, still 5 points difference, the game is still going on.

However, Dayao was not on the court at this time, and Houston lacked a core that could surround the court. This made their offense look very organized, but limited to the player's ability, it was short of a goal.

In the third quarter, Wells, the hero of the Magic, continued to play, perhaps because of the coach's entrustment. His shots in the past few rounds were mainly to cover his teammates and defend well, and he did not shoot rashly.

Scola wanted to try singles again after catching the ball in the low post, but this time he was succeeded by Li Chengming who took the ball from behind. Wells failed to get the ball back and knocked out of bounds.

Turkoglu returned to the court at this time. After holding the ball and pushing it across the half court, he handed it to Du Lin for a transition. After receiving the ball from the flank with the help of Li Chengming's screen, he made a direct shot without hesitation and hit a three-pointer. .

"The screen given by Li Chengming directly caught two people. Turkoglu didn't adjust and shot directly. The ball was also very comfortable. The Magic approached the score by two points. Houston urgently needs someone to stand up at this time Score!"

In the fourth quarter, due to physical reasons, the players' state will decline. At the same time, during the tug-of-war, every round is very important. At this time, the gap between role players and stars is reflected.

No matter how accurate the front shot is, the role players will be under pressure at this time, and they dare not shoot or "dare not go in". However, no matter how hard the front shot is, the stars still have the confidence and courage to make shots at this time, and they may shoot more and more.

Against Bitkoglu, Battier stretched his hips at this time, and Turkoglu got the long rebound directly after missing a three-pointer. Nelson immediately counterattacked and scored, and the Magic tied the score in one fell swoop.

Adelman had no choice but to ask for a timeout. Dayao's playing time is not too much today, because there will be back-to-back games at home the next day, and he is facing the Knicks, which must be won. On the contrary, magic can be let go.

In addition, Dayao also suffered 4 fouls on his back, so he thought about playing later, but he didn't expect that the players couldn't maintain the advantage of the point difference, which made him tie.

A clever woman can't cook without rice. These Houston players cannot be said to be bad, but they are all ordinary roles.

After the timeout, he still didn't take Dayao back directly, and planned to let Alston come up to grab points first. Even if this balance is maintained, it would be good to give Dayao more rest time.

Alston was also the best player in Houston besides Dayao in the first three quarters. He is expected to score 20 points today, but he made a pass error first. Li Chengming used his long arms to predict the steal, and then unexpectedly The man dribbles the ball and rushes forward.

"Li Chengming made a steal! Immediately...Alston caught up, but he couldn't stop Li Chengming alone. Li Chengming chose to force him, causing Alston's foul and the ball was in the basket. It's a pity that I came out in a circle..."

However, Li Chengming's ball still ignited the Amway Center, and all the players stood up and cheered. Li Chengming once wanted to end it with a dunk, but considering that there were people around him, there was no guarantee that the other party would not do anything, so he just slowed down three times. A layup draws a foul.

After walking to the free throw line and making both free throws this time, the Magic have achieved a lead in the score.
