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

Chapter 188 See you in the finals
"EVERYONE, MAKE SOME NOISES!"

Of course, the on-site DJ has to play a role at this time. First, it is to adjust the atmosphere. After all, in such a tense moment, during the pause and break, it is still necessary to relax the strings in everyone's hearts. It is not good to keep the nerves tensed.

After all, watching the game is entertainment and pastime, and it should not affect the body and life too much.

The second is to create pressure on the opponent. The noisy away environment will make the away team feel like being targeted by the whole world. If the psychological quality is not good, there may be performances such as technical movement deformation and lack of strength.

Because the offensive time this time is relatively long, and now it is evenly divided, Van Gundy did not take any risks.

First, we still have to make sure that the ball is passed and received smoothly, even if it is passed to the backcourt.

Second, this time is enough time to play a set of offensive tactics, so you must stabilize your rhythm and don't rush, because at this time they are the one who holds the initiative, and the win or loss depends on them. The opponent should be The urgent one.

The Lakers didn't dare to foul easily and send them free throws. Not to mention that there was no Howard on the field to cut them, they couldn't guarantee that they would score in their next offense, so they could only choose to defend, and they would definitely choose to hold the ball. The strategy of double-teaming and pressing.

The first is to force him to play the ball and make passing mistakes, and the second is to let the ball go as far as possible to players who are not good at shooting, or in this game, players who are not so accurate, which will also help them quickly re-establish their defense.

Van Gundy also knows this, but the five players currently on the court can all shoot, but they are the ones who dominate the ball, and Turkoglu should be the most stable in his hands.

So this time the serve was handed over to Li Chengming. Turkoglu came out to receive the ball with the help of Lewis' cover, and immediately faced two double-teams, and passed the ball to Bogans. Pass it out, but spend some time first.

But soon, seeing that the opponent was about to press again, he threw the ball like a hot potato again. This time, after passing Lewis's hand, it returned to Li Chengming's hand who raised the free throw line to respond.

He also deliberately glanced at the timer, the last five seconds, thinking that his last attack in regular time gave Kobe a chance to tie the ball. start up.

Because the Magic team opened up and moved from time to time, the Lakers had no way to double-team him in the first place. After all, if the pass is made at this time, it must be a chance to make a shot.

In the end, Gasol faced him, trying to interfere with his height and long arms.

Gasol is 2 meters tall and has a wingspan of 13 meters. This static talent is his most powerful weapon on the defensive end. Even if he is a little "soft", he can still form interference and even block shots in the confrontation.

If it wasn't for his slow speed and lack of jumping, which couldn't be compared with those blacks who can run and fly, Gasol's defense would definitely be improved to another level.

But in the face of Li Chengming, these are definitely not disadvantages. Even Li Chengming's flexibility compared to Gasol only has a slight advantage when turning around, and the lateral movement is not as good as the opponent.

This time, Li Chengming didn't try to use a method he was not good at, but changed his rhythm. After taking two steps to adjust, he opened up some space and directly leaned back to shoot.

Kobe next to him, who was about to double-team at the right time, saw that a huge mass of meat flew into the air in front of him. Although the height was a bit like flying like an eagle, the impact brought by his size was still great.

And this time at least the appearance is done, it really resembles his own movements.

It reminded him that when Li Chengming was interviewed before, he seemed to mention that he watched Jordan and his jumper and learned from it.

However, when he saw the opponent's technical moves before, he felt that it was a joke. The completion of this movement was not even comparable to that of Carter. Want to compare with him and Jordan?

Of course, although the posture looks a little stiff, it may be because of the size of the body, the movements are not so smooth, a bit like "stuck frame", but at least the efficiency is guaranteed.

No matter how many movements you do before shooting, and no matter how beautiful your shooting movements are, isn't the purpose of sending the ball into the basket?

Fans will say who's shooting is better, but Kobe wants to be more accurate. After all, he imitated Jordan at the beginning. It was only one reason why he played better. The main reason was because of Jordan's strength. Be like him.

Well, so I even imitated the movement of sticking out my tongue...

At this moment, it was like the slow motion of "Slam Dunk". After thinking so much, Kobe also tried to step forward to interfere, and almost formed a double-team in the air with Gasol.

But Li Chengming had already made a shot, and the moment his fingertips left the ball, Gasol's hand came over, as if he was giving him a high five.

There should be music at this time, followed by a vigorous narration: Congratulations to the male and female guests, the successful holding hands!
It's just that everyone's attention was on the leaving basketball at this time, no one noticed the movement here, and no one cared about Li Chengming who was knocked to the ground for the time being.

In order to avoid the defense, Li Chengming specially adjusted the arc higher, and because it was a tie at this time, even if the goal didn't go in, it would go to overtime.

Although this will be a greater test of his physical strength, there are others on his side, and Gasol and Kobe on the opposite side seem to be really unable to move.

Kobe, who is physically weird, stuck out his tongue before, maybe it was really cooling off, rather than paying tribute to Joe's gang leader.

After all, today he has carried Li Chengming on the defensive end, blocked Howard, topped Turkoglu, and pounced on Lewis. Also have to be tired.

So Li Chengming really didn't have any pressure to shoot this time, his mind was very relaxed, and his hands seemed a little loose.

state!
When many fans saw the ball hitting the edge of the backboard and jumped up, their hearts jumped, and they felt terrible.

To be honest, although this last period looks exciting, it is also a bit torturous. At this time, I thought that it would be best to end it with a lore as soon as possible.

Fortunately, because the hand is loose, the strength is not too great, it just bounced up a little, and immediately returned to the track, and then slid along the basket for a small half circle. slipped down.

wow——

"what!"

"what!!!"

"Lore! Li completed the lore again. He didn't completely kill the game in regular time, but he won't waste another chance!"

This time, there was no time left for the Lakers. The light was already on at the moment of the shot, and the Lakers would not have another chance to tie.

It was slow to say, but in fact it was just a moment of silence, and the whole arena immediately boiled up.

But immediately under the referee's signal, he paused for a while with some worry.

Not only the referees, but the Lakers players are also signaling to see if Li Chengming's shot has timed out.

Li Chengming himself was actually a little nervous. After all, he was calculating the time in his heart, so there would inevitably be errors.

If you miss the lore because of the timeout, you will feel very uncomfortable.

It would be fine if he wins in retime later, but if he loses, he won't be able to sleep tonight.

Of course, if the ball is really not counted, then it may have to be added up to see if there was a foul just now.

It may not be played at the last moment. It is called leaving the game to the players to decide, but it also depends on the situation.

"Beep!"

Finally, after watching the replay, especially the moment when Li Chengming made a shot, the referee declared the goal valid.

"The lore is valid! The game is over!" Yang Yi shouted: "Li Chengming really saved the team this time, and he seized this last chance. The Lakers played well enough today, but the Magic obviously The better one.

"127:129, the Magic ushered in another victory at home, and the fans can go back to sleep and get ready for their weekend..."

Director Zhang said with some regret: "The Lakers defended the ball well, but Kobe's defense was a little slower, and Li Chengming has already made a shot. Of course, we still have to congratulate the Magic and Li Chengming."

Magic fans couldn’t help but slander, you sound like you’re on the side of the Lakers, no, you’re talking on Kobe’s side, only Dayao can shift his position a little bit, it’s okay for Fatty to play so well Can not be done.

Yang Yi added: "After this game, the Magic's record has reached 41 wins and 11 losses, and they are still in the top spot. Then on Wednesday, we will bring the Magic's home game against the Cavaliers. At that time, please pay attention to CCTV and Sports Channel ..."

Back at the scene, the Magic's celebrations were still going on, and the Lakers players had already left the field quickly. At this time, they naturally couldn't see these celebration scenes, so they could only go back to the locker room to lick their wounds.

And they can't stay yet, because there is still the next away game waiting for them.

The Magic team still enjoyed the cheers of the fans in the arena for a while. In the following weekend, not only the fans had a holiday, but they also had no games, so they could have a good rest.

So at this time, just celebrate to your heart's content, even Nelson, who is still on a truce and wearing a suit, is greeting the fans.

Then as a matter of course, Li Chengming, who scored 30+ again and completed the lore, did his part to become the MVP of the audience and accepted the reporter's interview.

This game was also broadcast live across the United States, and it was only transferred after the start of the season with the rise of the Magic. Of course, the Lakers, regardless of their record, are as eye-catching as ever, and their schedule of live broadcasts across the United States has never been less.

So before the game, it attracted much attention, but the game process was ups and downs, and it was very worrying until the last moment of overtime.

Many viewers in front of the TV even felt that the time would definitely be increased, so they couldn't hold back and went to the bathroom, but instead missed the real lore.

After the interview, returning to the locker room was another celebration, and then at the press conference after the game, Li Chengming and Howard attended together.

The atmosphere was also very good. After the reporter congratulated them, they also asked some random questions. They answered what they could say, and ended in harmony.

Then the two left the field, and in the passage, Howard suddenly grabbed Li Chengming's shoulder and asked, "What did Kobe talk to you about in the arena just now?"

Li Chengming also found it funny to see him nervously worried that his little brother would be wooed away.

After all, Li Chengming has always said that he is learning from Jordan and Kobe, so even if he never admits who he is a fan of, everyone still takes him for granted as a fan of Jordan and Kobe.

It's as if some people insisted that he was a hardcore fan because he praised Garnett, and said that his hot-blooded jumper was an imitation of Garnett.

Um, this seems to be true, can't you say wrong?
It's all about the system...

"It's nothing, he just praised me and said that next time we meet, they will definitely win, that's all." Li Chengming could only say that Kobe's mouth won as much as his elbow.

Of course, the Lakers are indeed an opponent that should not be underestimated. They are not complete. If Bynum returns from injury and grows, as the starting center, Gasol can return to his more comfortable No. [-] position, its role must be stronger than that of Nelson on the Magic side.

So when the time comes, the competition between the two sides will completely disappear, and it is still unknown who will win.

Howard snorted and said, "The next time we meet, it will be the playoffs. They should first think about how to break through in the West."

This is true, the two teams have finished their regular season games this season, unless they can only meet in the playoffs.

And the two teams are divided into east and west, and they can only meet each other in the finals.

At that time, it will not only be revenge, but also compete for the championship, not just one game, at least four games will be decided.

Li Chengming shrugged and said, "We also have to think about breaking out from the east, don't we?"

Howard laughed and said, "Isn't there me and you? Detroit and Boston, we have won. Who else is our opponent in the East?"

Although the regular season and the playoffs are not the same thing, this is mainly due to the experience of the players. For the core of the Magic team who is too young, the confrontation and penalty scale in the playoffs, and even grasping the opponent's weaknesses in offense and defense The impact of the onslaught will make them suffer.

However, for the battle against potential opponents in the playoffs, especially in the same half area, the regular season contest still has certain reference value.

This is especially true for young players like them. The psychological advantages established in the regular season will make them dare to fight hard. Unless they encounter setbacks in the playoffs, they may be able to pass the opponent directly with that breath.

Of course, if the current ranking continues until the end of the season, they may have to wait for the results of the Pistons and the Celtics in the playoffs, which is a good thing for them.

Therefore, the record in the regular season is also useful. The ranking is not about how high it is, but about a proper position and home court advantage.

Of course, if you are confident enough about your own strength, it doesn't matter who the opponent is, then kill the Pistons first, avenge last season, and then kill the Green Army, interspersed with a Cavalier or anyone.

But obviously, the Magic has not reached that point yet, and Li Chengming and the others don't have such high self-confidence. They are really invincible in the East.

What's more, the regular season is not over yet, the Green Army is still clinging to the back, and the result is still variable.

Thinking about it, Li Chengming also smiled at Howard and said, "You have missed one opponent..."

"Who?"

"Knight, or James."

Also, their opponents in the next game.
