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

Chapter 171 The record is hard to break
Li Chengming watched most of the game on the bench, but he was not in a hurry.

As the saying goes, I am lucky if I win, and my life is lost, because he is still young, as long as he stays healthy, there are plenty of opportunities to get high scores in the future.

He will be even stronger in the future. By then, 30 points will probably become commonplace, 40 points will not be difficult, and 50 points will no longer be out of reach, just like Kobe's scoring season.

Although he is more like a big shark in size, Li Chengming actually has a heart to become Peter Pan. He wants to be a top scorer. Choose to use all the points you get to exchange for abilities that can strengthen your offense.

If you follow his basketball philosophy, you always think that a basketball game is a sport that can score more points than anyone else.

After all, basketball is not like football. It is not uncommon for football to score more than 90 minutes in stoppage time, so defense is actually the most important thing in football, even if it is the weakest ball. Team, bite the bullet and drive the bus, it is also possible to sink the space battleship.

But basketball is a completely different sport. Some people say that "defense wins championships", which is true, but there is another saying that offense is also a kind of defense.

Of course, basketball is a team sport after all, no matter how strong one person is, it can affect the game, but in high-end games, the decision to win or lose depends on the quality of teammates.

Li Yong feels that the biggest difference between himself and the previous Kobe is that if he is double-teamed, he will choose to play the ball immediately and trust his teammates.

If you want to stand up to others, it is either because you are in such a good state today and you have some personal grievances, or your teammates are really not good.

Just like in the previous college class games, Li Chengming carried the double-teaming of two people under the basket and hit frequently. If he couldn't do it, he would distribute it to his teammates. It was also for them to get the easiest points. All the scores are related to him, and finally won the championship.

So if the coach chooses not to let him play in the end of the game, there is no problem, as long as the game is won.

If the game is lost...

Then he still has to exchange his thoughts with the coach, after all, it would be deliberately letting him sit on the bench, which is a bit unreasonable.

In the end, Van Gundy really chose to bring him up, and played the decisive moment in the last three minutes or so.

After all, this is the "place where miracles are born". You can score 35 points in 13 seconds, but you can't score 130 points in more than three minutes?

Of course, this is a joke. After all, McGrady played against the Spurs at 35 seconds and 13 points. The point difference was actually overtaken by 8 points, but it is enough to show that it is not impossible to have a point difference of more than ten points for such a long time. Completed, as long as you successfully defend a few times, score a few more goals, and close the score to single digits in the last minute, the suspense of the game will begin to increase greatly.

At this time, Van Gundy brought Li Chengming up, no doubt to strengthen the offense.

Because the Magic insisted on saying that there was any problem in defense during this period, it seemed that it was not enough. They were chased by the opponent for 9 points, and it was more because they gave the opponent too many opportunities after their own offense failed.

This does not include the opponent wasting some opportunities. In this case, Li Chengming, who performed well in this game, is undoubtedly the most confident point to score at this time.

At the very least, bringing him up has a point of restraint, and it can also allow other players to get easier shots, so that they won't be unable to grasp one of them, right?
In addition, when Li Chengming is there, the Magic can fall into the position and slowly press the rhythm. If it is too bad, just give him the ball.

To ensure their advantage, in fact, it is a good way to spend a little more time on each attack. Anyway, the opponent must be the one who is in a hurry first, and it is easy to make mistakes if you are in a hurry, and that is their chance again.

Of course, in this way, the defense may be targeted, but the Magic can continue to use the previous method, relying on frequent rotations on the defensive end to try to protect him.

Just like Lewis' defensive performance this time is actually not much better than Li Chengming. Although he scored a lot of points, he couldn't prevent Pierce's misplaced offense at all. It was precisely because of this in the fourth quarter that Pierce It drove the Green Army to set off a wave of counterattacks.

The appearance of Li Chengming also led to a burst of warm cheers from the fans. The cheers of "LI" resounded through the Amway Center Arena again. Magic fans love this fat man to death.

Yang Jian said: "Relying on his own performance, Li Chengming quickly accumulated a large number of fans, not only in Orlando, but also all over the United States, not just domestic fans. So this time the All-Star voting , he is in the forward position in the Eastern Conference, second only to Garnett and James..."

Su Qun also said with a smile: "I heard from the reporter in Orlando that Li Chengming's jersey commission alone is already close to his personal salary this season, which also shows how popular he is now."

Li Chengming's salary in this rookie season is really not worth mentioning, so in fact, most people still have no idea.

Of course, Suqun also made a common sense mistake on this point, that is, the money received by the individual players is not affected by the sales of jerseys, but is linked to the salary cap.

Anyway, everyone knows that Li Chengming is very hot and popular now, and foreigners also like him very much.

Just like Dayao at the beginning, these days there is still emphasis on "the moon in foreign countries is relatively round". Young students like becoming famous all yearn for Europe, America, Japan and South Korea.

Later, I found out that apart from the European, American, Japanese and Korean regions, I can really still yearn for it, and I don’t need to mention other aspects.

Of course there are good places, but are they that good?
Just like in China, although there are disadvantages, you can’t always compare everything with the best foreign countries, and then come to a conclusion that the so-called domestic is worse than foreign countries. It seems that there are only Chinese, The same as the other two countries.

Gossip less, back to the game.

Under the cheers of the fans at the scene, Li Chengming was also in full swing.

However, the green army still saw him very closely and refused to give him a chance.

But Li Chengming was not in a hurry to attack by himself. He knew that the Celtics would eventually chase points at this time. If they still blindly piled defenses on his side and let the rest of the Magic score easily, then they obviously didn't want to win the game.

Just like Li Chengming, who was paying attention to his waist position this time, Evans, who slipped to the baseline on the other side, directly received a through ball from Turkoglu to the basket and scored. When he was about to serve, the Celtics Over there, I took the time to discuss the defensive strategy.

So in the next round, they were not as fierce as they were, but Posey desperately went around and carried Li Chengming to prevent him from receiving the ball.

But Evans shot directly from the outside, but unfortunately missed. As a result, Li Chengming turned around and got stuck in the position to grab the rebound. He missed the score again, but caused a foul by Powe.

Probably because he was a bit unfamiliar at the beginning, he missed the first free throw, and Li Chengming himself couldn't help laughing.

Su Qun also laughed and said, "Oh, what a pity this free throw, otherwise I would have scored 41 points directly, which would have equaled the previous record."

Yang Jian explained: "Li Chengming's second free throw is still stable. The Green Army defends around the front, but there will definitely be mistakes and omissions at the basket. Moreover, the current lineup of the Green Army does not even have an advantage in height. Howard and Li Chengming Being able to control the rebounds well also puts higher demands on Boston's offense."

At this time, there is actually another option, and that is to shoot more three-pointers.

Because the three-pointer is farther away from the basket, the force used is greater, and the trajectory of the rebound is easier to deviate from the basket. In this way, even if the insider does not have an advantage, they can rely on the judgment of the landing point or actively rush. If you get a chance, the two sides will become a [-]-[-] situation.

But obviously, at this time, the Celtics still choose conservative mid-range two-pointers and the basket. Ray Allen, the most stable three-pointer in their lineup, can't do it this time. Pierce and Posey can shoot. , but can only shoot a little bit, not to mention that Posey has to be stuck at the basket, Pierce has to play in the low post, can Rondo count on the free time?
Fortunately, although Rondo couldn't shoot, he was still stable in the pick-and-roll with the ball, which helped Powe create a misplaced opportunity to face Evans. As a result, the ball not only scored, but also caused a foul by Howard.

Su Qun shouted: "A beautiful attack! This time came very timely, and it seemed very extreme. Howard was almost about to interfere."

It can be seen from the replay that Howard is only a few inches away from the cap. If the cap is reached, it is a good block, and of course it is a good goal.

Bowie was ordered in a crisis today, and he performed well, so Rivers gave him a chance. It was really unexpected that Garnett was injured and retired, and Perkins and Scalabrine were not suitable to play at this time, and they couldn't defend against the offense. Still a drag.

At least Bowie can still have such a ball, this is his value.

After making the extra free throw this time, the point difference came to 14 points. It was Li Chengming who missed a free throw before, and the inside and outside were equal to two points gone.

Then came the offensive round of the Magic team, and the defensive strategy of the Celtics did not change. Posey and Powe were going around on both sides, preventing Howard and Li Chengming from receiving the basketball easily. This is also a spectacle on the court. up.

On the one hand, it is because these two people are limited by their height and stature, and their single defense in the interior is a bit unreasonable. On the other hand, it also shows that Li Chengming and the others are a great threat in the interior. Once they get the ball, they will definitely double-team. Easy to get vacant.

Looking at this scene, Yang Jian couldn't help laughing and said: "The defensive dilemma that the Green Army will face in this game can be seen from this round. Li Chengming's offensive state is very good today, and we can't let him get the ball. , Howard could have fouled, but because he made good free throws today, he didn't dare to commit fouls casually.

"Actually, at this time, I think the effect of replacing Perkins may be better, at least he can match Howard. But it may be because without Garnett, other people are not easy to match with him..."

In fact, the reason is very simple. It is entirely because the Green Army chose to attack desperately, so they used two people who are less than [-] meters tall to top the inside line. What they need is their offensive mobility.

In terms of defense, it is unlikely to be able to defend anyway, so let the Magic play outside, so at least they will be less efficient.

Then this time Turkoglu tried to score a three-pointer and missed. Posey and Bowie reacted quickly. Seeing that Turkoglu wanted to shoot by himself, he turned around and got stuck. Protect the backboards.

It's just that the green army's attack also returned in vain, and Pierce singled out Li Chengming without provoking it.

This time, Li Chengming also switched defenses. In fact, he has already been swayed away by Pierce, but it may be that he made too many fake moves before and spent a lot of energy, or it may be that he has exhausted too much energy after playing for so long. Out of breath, he hit the front edge of the backboard directly.

Howard got the rebound and passed it to Lewis. Lewis passed it to Turkoglu. The ball arrives.

"Beautiful! Turkoglu didn't rush to deal with the ball, but waited for a while, and Howard happened to come from the backcourt. The Green Army also made a mistake in defensive communication, and actually let Howard run directly into the paint. , completed this beautiful alley-oop goal."

Yang Jian looked at the replay and was full of praise, "This is definitely a top-five sports goal. The Green Army's defense is still good after Garnett's injury and retreat. It didn't give the Magic too much to rush. The opportunity to get up, especially Howard has only taken 10 shots in this game so far.

"One is because the Green Army has not allowed him to catch the ball, and the other is that it is difficult for him to rush up when he is trapped in the defensive wall, and it is difficult to send him a pass like this. Of course, it is also because today's teammates Played well, Lewis in the first half, Li Chengming in the first three quarters..."

The game time is passing, the Celtics are grabbing points, but the Magic are also scoring. The point difference has not changed for a long time, and the Celtics are getting more and more anxious.

As a result, Posey fouled Li Chengming while competing for position, and sent him directly to the free throw line. The kid was still spreading his hands and pretending to be in a daze, trying to argue with the referee.

However, the referee rarely turned to Li Chengming this time and insisted on letting him make a free throw.

The fans and commentators were all refreshed at this time, "Li Chengming is finally about to make free throws again, let's see if he has a chance to break his own scoring record. The first free throw has been made! It's very stable, and the second free throw should not be asked—— Oops! Just as I was about to say no problem, the ball spun around the basket two or three times and ran out by itself.

"What a pity!"

This is the voice of all the fans at the moment. Li Chengming was also a little stunned, holding his head in disbelief when he returned to defense.

Anfernee Hardaway, who was invited to commentate on the spot today, also burst out laughing when he saw this scene. As a star of the Magic team, Hardaway, who was once one of Jordan's successors, has left too many shortcomings in his career due to injuries. , also officially announced his retirement last year. This is also the first time he came to the scene this year and served as a commentator.

In fact, at this time, everyone wanted to see Li Chengming break the record, but sometimes it is so dramatic, the more you think about what will happen, the less it will not happen.

Not only him, but the fans also felt that it was a pity, and at the same time they found it funny.

If the free throw had been thrown directly, it might not have had the comic effect, but it was deflected two or three times, and was finally turned away.

Powe took the rebound, the Green Army failed to launch a fast break, and they were not in a hurry, mainly because it was useless to be anxious.

This time it ended with Rondo's end. No. 9, who had been playing for a whole game, finally scored with a beautiful change of hand. Unfortunately, the point difference was still 14 points.

The time is approaching the last minute, and the game is completely without suspense. Unless the magic team stands still and lets the green army fight by themselves, otherwise even if the time runs out and the green army does not attack, the green army will not be able to catch up.

Even the Magic's substitutes have already stood on the sidelines, waiting for substitutions at any time.

At this time, Li Chengming was also outside the three-point line on the flank and got the last chance to make a shot.
