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

Chapter 146 No Foul
After the timeout, both sides chose to make substitutions, and Li Chengming was also replaced for a rest. The time he didn't play yesterday will make up for it in three quarters today.

When it came to the contest in the rotation stage, the Magic began to fall into a disadvantage.

After both Li Chengming and Lewis were off the field, the inside line lacked a fulcrum. Turkoglu did not have a strong desire to attack today, but he gave Du Lin and Bogans a few outside shots and failed to score.

However, the Jazz's offensive efficiency is not high. Korver's state has always been mediocre. Millsap, who became a surprise player in the contest between the two sides, did not choose to attack by himself after being taken care of. He also wanted to play for his teammates. .

It's just that he is not Turkoglu's type of organizer after all, and he is not tall enough.

One of the biggest problems with the Jazz's bench is that their height is not good enough. Howard has a height advantage for the Magic. After he is off the court, there are Cook and Foyer. Even Turkoglu himself is taller than the opponent.

These various pros and cons factors are intertwined, but the Magic did not lose too many points in the end. At the end of the third quarter, they were still only 2 points behind, 83:85. The offensive efficiency of the two teams can be said to be good, and the tactics are also effective. , And from 14 points behind in the first quarter, it is only 2 points away from catching up now. The resilience of the Magic is beyond doubt.

Su Qun said with emotion: "When we watched Houston and Texas Xiaoqiang's games, the first half and the second half were sometimes different teams. The Magic also looked like different teams in the first quarter and the next two quarters, but It's completely reversed."

"In fact, a very important reason is the strength of the role players. Whether it is the core of the Magic team or the role players, they all understand their tasks and can do their jobs well. Even if there are occasional failures When things are going well, some teammates will stand up and take care of each other.

"I think it's mainly as a team. Each of us learns from each other's strengths. This is the key to victory. No matter how good you are alone, can you beat the opponent's team? Can you play referees and fight against the will of the league? Even Jordan, he Without teammates like Pippen, he couldn't have won the championship..."

Su Qun said with a smile: "So Li Chengming also said before that their current team atmosphere is very good, not only because they have been winning, but also because everyone is using their own advantages, learning from each other's strengths and helping their teammates. There isn't a single person in there who is truly useless."

And right away, Brian Cook demonstrated what it means that no one is really useless. Turkoglu was plagued by fouls and didn't play much in the first three quarters, so he came up first to bring a substitute in the fourth quarter.

As a result, Cook stood next to him and helped him cover for two fouls, and then went off the court directly.

The jazz home whistle blew a little too frequently today. There was only a slight controversy in the first half, and they stopped playing at the beginning of the third quarter. Turkoglu's poor performance today is the reason for his own state, but he was also messed up by the whistle mentality.

However, after Cook left the field, Turkoglu still failed to escape being called for the fifth foul. At this time, more than three minutes passed, and the Jazz regained the lead to 5 points, because Turkoglu's attack The foul also became the Jazz's possession of the ball.

Van Gundy saw that the situation was not good, so when the ball was hit out of bounds by Redick and became a dead ball, he replaced the Turk first, and then replaced Lewis and Li Chengming.

The two of them cooperated well in the second quarter, and Van Gundy also hoped to make up the gap through the offense of the two. After all, the difficulty of the defensive end has increased a lot because of the home whistle.

Since it is not easy to defend, then attack more. If the referee still wants to target, then the game will be lost if they lose, and it is not their problem.

When the two played, he also reminded them to pay attention to body control and not to foul easily.

Although the two are relatively safe now, the Magic have already accumulated four fouls in just over three minutes, that is to say, after the whistle for a common foul is sounded, the Jazz can go directly to the free throw line up.

"The penalty for this game is a little bit biased towards the Jazz." Su Qun said a little conservatively. Although he was on an online platform, he was still an older generation of media people and would not take a clear-cut stand.

Ma Jiandao: "The Magic seem to be strengthening their offense. Van Gundy replaced both Li Chengming and Lewis on the field. Lewis has found some sense of offense in these two games, so now he matches Li Chengming and Howard no matter how they match, Both can guarantee the Magic's offense, which is very good news for them.

"If the Magic want to go further this season, they will definitely need Lewis to perform at his level, worthy of his 1 million yuan contract!"

After playing, it was still the Jazz's offense. The frontcourt served, guard Jason Hart came out to catch the ball, and Kirilenko received the ball from the top of the arc.

As an all-around small forward, Kirilenko is not only the core cadre of the Jazz's rotation defense, but also does a lot of work on the offensive end.

His shooting is not particularly outstanding, but he can also be trusted as a spot-up shooter with range beyond the three-point line.

However, the Jazz rely more on his organizational support on the offensive end, including if the pick-and-roll tactic cannot be initiated at one time, handing the ball to this transfer station to find another opportunity is a common choice.

Kirilenko also has a certain back-up singles ability, and can rely on his body to take down the opposing defender one-on-one after a dislocation is formed.

At this time, when Deron was resting off the court, he, like Turkoglu, became the core organization of the Jazz. After directing his teammates' running positions, he handed the ball to Millsap in the low post on the right.

After Millsap received the ball, facing Lewis, he made a tentative three-point threat first, and then looked around. His teammates pulled away to let him play singles.

Millsap rolled Lewis with his back and hit it in, but Lewis defended the ball very well and did not give him a comfortable point of attack. Millsap missed a turnaround jumper under the interference of the long arm, and Li Chengming took off the rebound. The Magic advanced quickly.

Kirilenko showed a strong defensive awareness at this time, standing in the middle of the frontcourt with one defense and two defenses, ready to block the passing path at any time.

Li Chengming simply handed the ball to Lewis and let him slowly lead the half court.

Lewis passed the top of the arc to Arroyo and made a single block. Arroyo used the screen to break through with the ball. Kirilenko immediately stepped forward to help defend. Arroyo passed to Evans. Evans actually The opportunity had already been given but he was not greedy for credit, so he returned it to Li Chengming who arrived in time.

Li Chengming didn't shoot after receiving the ball, but a simple back luck passed Korver, who had thrown too hard, and took a step forward to hit a mid-range jumper.

"Good shot, Li Chengming was very calm in the face of defense, and chose the attack he was most sure of!"

The Jazz also had a mid-range shot by Harprin, and the Magic also had a layup after the pick-and-roll.

At 93:97, the Jazz had a 4-point lead, and it was the Magic's offensive round.

At this time, the lineup on the court was Nelson, Evans, Lewis, Li Chengming and Howard, and the Jazz was the regular starting lineup. Okur, who also fouled four times, also returned to the court.

In fact, anyone who has watched the game today knows how obvious the home whistle is, but judging from the fouls and free throws, the two teams are about the same, which also shows the skills of these referees.

But looking at the distribution of free throws, only one of the players on the Jazz team did not get free throws, and everyone's free throws were relatively average, mostly 4 to 5, while the Magic team mostly concentrated on Howard and Li Chengming. Inside storm players.

Today, Li Chengming also got his season high of 10 free throws, two of which were additional penalties. Howard even walked to the free throw line 10 times. He has already made almost 20 free throws, and his shooting percentage is 74%, which is not bad.

In fact, from the perspective of play, the Jazz mostly shoots after pick-and-rolls or screens. For example, Korver, who has a poor shooting performance today, just relied on free throws to score 5 more points, which is unbelievable.

Of course, it’s still the same sentence. Fouls and free throws are actually not very controversial in themselves. What is problematic is the double standard.

The Magic don’t give fouls until they are almost overturned, while the Jazz only foul when they get a little dirty. The penalty scales on both sides also make their scoring and defense intensity different.

This is the reason why the Magic's scoring is relatively concentrated today. It's not that they don't want to play team basketball, but that they can't play in this situation and can only respond with superstars.

Fortunately, except for Turkoglu, the Magic's other three scoring points performed well and were able to match up with the opponent.

And there is no way around this situation, they can't argue with the referee about this, it's not only a waste of time, but also may invite more intense attacks, they can only find a way to fight their own.

Basketball doesn't lie, they also believe that they play well, even shitty penalties can't decide anything.

"...Looking at this shot, Li Chengming pulled to the flank at 45 degrees to make a screen, and then pulled to the bottom corner. Nelson broke through and scored the ball. Li Chengming made a feint and broke through with the ball-foul!"

boom!
At this moment, just like Kirby's "Tarzan crushing the top", Li Chengming's body was knocked over by Boozer firmly, and he fell heavily on the ground. Even the floor seemed to be shaken. The audience in the front row nearby They even felt that they could hear the dull loud noise, and they were startled.

The other players of the Magic team immediately rushed up and squeezed away Boozer, who seemed to be still provocative, while observing Li Yong's situation. The Jazz also protected Boozer behind them, forming a confrontation with them.

And on the bench of the Magic team, everyone from the coaching staff to the players wanted to rush into the field, but they were stopped by the staff. Only Van Gundy went to the referee next to the technical table and yelled: "Shit , he is murdering, if you don’t send him off, you will be blind, deaf, and brainless!”
