Chapter 182
"The Magic directly let Turkoglu play the point guard position this time. Against Fisher, it is indeed not easy to defend him..."

Turkoglu was originally the organization core of the Magic, but it was directly put into such a lineup, which is equivalent to four strikers on the scene, and Turkoglu's style of play also reminds people of James of the Cavaliers.

Although James is the third position, he is also the equivalent of a point guard in the Cavaliers. He has the ball in his hands and the offensive organization is determined by him.

Of course, no team will really see James as a point guard, and it is impossible for the point guard to defend him. This is a defense change after the pick-and-roll, and the offensive opportunity will only be available when misplaced.

But now the Lakers' lineup does not have a more suitable defender.

In the end, Kobe took the initiative to replace Fisher, but he couldn't guard against Bogans or Li Chengming. Bogans came out to catch the ball and made a three-pointer. Fisher was too slow and was blocked directly behind the screen. He didn't turn around until he shot, and there was no way to interfere.

So after two rounds, Fisher was also replaced and replaced by Vujacic and Luke Wharton, who were tall enough.

Luke Walton is the son of NBA star Bill Walton, one of the top [-] superstars. Unfortunately, his talent is average, but in the triangle offense, his height, vision, and ball intelligence can ensure that he can become a fulcrum on the wing, for example When the low-post offense is not smooth, pass it out and re-transmit it.

This season, he averaged 7 points and 3 assists per game, which is also a good role player data.

The overall height of the Lakers' lineup on the field has improved, which is equivalent to a center and four forwards. They can match up with the Magic, and it is difficult to form a good chance of dislocation.

But when Kobe and Gasol faced Bogans and Lewis, they were still able to score.

Conversely, the Magic's offense was also unstoppable, because Li Chengming was also in a singles position in the triangle. Although it was an on-the-spot change, it was not unheard of during the team's training.

In fact, the tactics of basketball games are ever-changing. Many changes are composed of basic pick-and-rolls, screens, air cuts, etc., and being able to complete passing and running positions can actually be a preliminary system.

If it's just catch and shoot, it's even easier.

Li Chengming's matchup advantage at this time is more obvious than the two stars of the Lakers.

Compared with Howard, his offensive methods are more abundant, and he is more difficult to be restricted in singles.

For example, when Howard singles Gasol, the Spaniard's foot is very stable, he is not easy to push, and he will be disturbed when he stands up forcibly.

However, facing Gasol who is nearly a head taller than him, Li Chengming still has a variety of options, whether it is a shot that opens up the space, a step back from the frame, a jumper after a back turn, or even a hook.

Howard's hook looks very lame. Although there is a certain success rate, the posture is too rigid, it looks like he is lifting an iron, and the arc is unbearable to look directly at. The most important thing is that the forward swing is too long, and it is easy to be interfered by the defense arrive.

But Li Chengming can run the ball lightly at the moment of turning around, and in order to deal with opponents who are taller than himself, he will increase the arc.

Because of his "aiming" skills, he will even calculate the angle of the shot when he makes the shot, and the usual training can also show the effect at this time.

Now Li Chengming is no longer practicing some simple shots, but shots on the go and interference. Through various angles and various quick-adjust shots, he gradually improves his shooting ability enough to deal with any situation in the game.

Now it seems that it is a bit of nonsense and gimmicky, but it may be effective when it is not sure.

In fact, in this process, a thing called "sense of the ball" is gradually cultivated.

Some players are born with a good sense of the ball, but this thing can also be improved through acquired training.

It even includes hand-eye coordination, balance between left and right hands, as well as body coordination and flexibility. For a chubby man like him, there must be some difficulties, but he is not afraid of practicing. Even if he can't improve, at least he can maintain it.

And in the process, sometimes you can discover some of your own defects, and you can also appreciate the joy of constantly improving your own technical characteristics.

Anyway, Li Chengming enjoys this very much, so he has become the new training madman of the Magic team, especially in shooting. He is comparable to Lewis, but the direction of the two is not the same.

During this period, Kobe also defended Li Chengming twice. The difference in size between the two is too big. Of course Kobe has his defensive skills, but Li Chengming has experienced so many games, especially this kind of first-defense player, and he is already prepared.

What is the most effective way for a small man to defend a big man?
Definitely not hard resistance, small movements are accompanied by unloading and retracting force, as long as the timing is used well, making the opponent's offensive foul is the most cost-effective and successful defensive method.

Li Chengming has suffered a lot, and his size and strength are particularly easy to suffer in this regard, because the referee has every reason to believe that he can knock a defender two meters away.

Li Chengming won't fall repeatedly in the same ditch after eating a ditch and gaining wisdom.

However, the road is one foot high and the devil is one foot high. Kobe relied on his experience to let Li Chengming suffer a dark loss. If it weren't for Li Chengming's wit, he passed the ball in time and then fell to the side. The referee's whistle probably It rang.

As a result, the Lakers were stunned for a while, but Turkoglu happily shot a three-pointer and scored. The referee said the goal was valid, and Kobe immediately got up to find him to argue, thinking that Li Chengming made an offensive foul first.

He's in a hurry, he's in a hurry!

"Beep!"

The referee couldn't take it anymore and gave Kobe a T.

The teammates next to him all came over to stop him, and then Kobe stopped.

But when he passed by Li Chengming, he suddenly showed a hearty smile, "KB? Welcome to Orlando..."

Kobe was stunned for a moment before he realized that he hadn't said anything before, and now he was responding to his two "invitations" in the first half.

This rookie...

Kobe gritted his teeth, and suddenly understood why KG didn't like this kid so much.

But soon he burst out laughing again, that's funny, isn't it?
In view of the fact that Li Chengming can still maintain a free throw percentage close to 90% after half a season, it can be regarded as an encouragement to him, and Lewis and Turkoglu have also agreed, and now the Magic's technical foul free throws are made by Li Chengming implement.

After he scored this goal, the Magic finally opened up to 6 points, and his personal score finally reached 20 points.

The Lakers also pay enough attention to him. Once the low post forms a singles stance, they will step forward to interfere and double-team as much as possible. It's just that the Magic's outside performance is very good today. Li Chengming's pressure has eased a lot, and he can shoot more easily. up.

Director Zhang said with a smile: "Li Chengming's direct matchup with Kobe is better than Li Chengming this time. However, it is also very helpful for Li Chengming to match up with the superstars of this alliance. If it is not for the two people's size If the gap is too big, he may still suffer a bit.”

Yang Yi also said: "The game experience is very important. Li Chengming's game experience was not enough at the beginning, but now he is getting better. After all, Kobe has been in the league for ten years, and he is definitely not comparable to the current Li Chengming."

"Yes," Director Zhang said, "Li Chengming's defense is also improving now, and it will get better and better in the future. The official suspension, now both sides have to be replaced, Li Chengming should still stay on the court, just now Howard The four offenders are off the field first, and the Magic need an inside core to sit on the field at this time."
