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

Chapter 190 Home game against the Cavaliers

"Friends from the audience, friends from the audience, you are watching the NBA regular season broadcast for you by CCTV Sports Channel, the Magic vs. Cavaliers game at home. I am the host Yoga..."

"I'm Zhang-Bryant-Weiping..."

"This is the penultimate game of the Magic team before the All-Star game. At present, domestic fans are very concerned about whether the Chinese player Li Chengming in the Magic team can be selected as a substitute for the All-Star game. What do you think, Director Zhang?"

"The All-Star substitute is different from the starter. It is chosen by the coaches of each team. Li Chengming has no advantage in this aspect. I think he should wait until next season. If he can maintain this performance, then Just be able to go in.

"It's even possible to go in directly as a starter, because his current popularity abroad, such as Europe, America, Japan, South Korea, and Southeast Asia, are all rising. In addition, our domestic fans will also vote for him. Next The season is still very hopeful to challenge the votes of James and Garnett.

"Even if it doesn't work, the coaches will have a stronger impression of him next season, and it will be more likely that he will be selected as a substitute..."

"Okay, so let's get back to this game. The Magic had a difficult schedule early on, but they've had a good schedule lately, both at home. This is their second regular-season encounter with the Cavaliers." Last time, relying on Li Chengming's wonderful performance, the Magic became the final winner. Then Director Zhang thinks which of them is more likely to win this time?"

"I think it must still be the Magic. They are in good form recently. Li Chengming may also be very excited because he is approaching the All-Star.

"Also, when we played against the Cavaliers last time, Li Chengming was famous all over the United States for dunking James. What surprises?"

In the end, Director Zhang also expressed his special expectation for this game.

He has always had a clear preference, and because he has senior qualifications, he doesn't have to worry about saying the wrong thing at all, so he is more daring to say it.

In fact, the preferences of many fans who watch football are also unknowingly rhythmized by these commentaries. No matter whether it is a good voice or a bad voice, they will absorb it, and then even when they watch the game by themselves, they will naturally Substitute in.

Some things may have different results when viewed from different angles.

Yoga also said: "Actually, watching the Magic team's game recently, I think Li Chengming's changes are quite obvious. He has lost a lot of weight now, and his ball control seems to have improved a lot, so sometimes he can directly Start attacking from the perimeter."

Of course, it is still relatively seldom used, if you can not take the ball, you can not take it, otherwise it is easy to lose the ball in the face of pressing.

Guidance Zhang said: "This is also a good thing for the Magic, because after Turkoglu goes down, the team needs another ball-holding core. The organization of other players and the awareness of passing the ball are not good. In this regard On the contrary, Li Chengming has the advantage, he especially knows how to give to his teammates on the weak side."

This is the effect of having a good vision, and this kind of thing is actually very difficult to practice, and requires a certain amount of talent and awareness.

Sometimes the field of vision is not just what you can see with your eyes, and it is not allowed to observe the position of your teammates all the time on the court. This requires you to be familiar with the positioning habits of your teammates and even your opponents in normal training and games. This will also test the tacit understanding between teammates.

Li Chengming didn't pass that kind of high-risk ball at the beginning because he was not sure that his teammates could catch it.

But later, a tacit understanding gradually developed, and his teammates knew that he could pass it on, and they would make preparations in advance, and Li Chengming gradually let go.

In this game against the Cavaliers, Li Chengming knew that the opponent would definitely double-team him, so if possible, without affecting the outcome of the game, he actually wanted to see how many assists he could get. Come.

He has won a triple-double this season, but he followed the trend. He has no intention of deliberately pursuing this kind of data, and often even gives up to his teammates, so many times belong to the "quasi-triple-double" data.

Especially when his offensive threat began to be valued by all opponent teams, and they double-teamed him in the low post one after another. He was often able to send assists and his ability to grab rebounds was improved. The improvement of these two statistics made him Although the scoring data of the team is unstable, it looks more "all-round".

There is also good news for the Magic in this game, that is, the team's starting point guard Nelson has officially returned, but to be on the safe side, Van Gundy let him play from the bench again.

On the contrary, the starting lineup has undergone some changes compared with before.

"Let's look at the starting roster of the Magic today - the other four players remain unchanged, but Li Chengming replaced Evans as the starting three. This is an unexpected adjustment before the game. A James?"

From the point of view of body size, Li Chengming is still a full circle bigger than the 113 kg James.

Obviously, he can't keep up with James' speed in terms of movement, but James is used to the bulldozer style of play, and it may be easy to be deflated when he hits Li Chengming.

This is actually an attempt by Van Gundy on defense, because everyone knows that James has good running and jumping talents, and as a point forward, his level of control cannot be underestimated.

But in terms of technical conditions, he does not have the skillful ball-handling skills of those pure point guards. His dribbling pays more attention to practicality. Relying on his size and confrontation ability, he protects the ball very well and can control it well at critical moments. Hold the ball.

But once you rush up, can you still hold the ball while moving at high speed?

Of course, at this time, he actually still has a layer of golden body protection, which is the superstar whistle.

As one of the most touted stars in the league at present, although there are reasons for his style of play, James has a lot of whistles. He averaged 05 free throws per game for the first time in the 06-10 season, and he also averaged 9 per game last season.

So far this season, he has averaged more than 10 free throws per game, but his free throw percentage is really unsatisfactory. In the past two seasons, he has hovered around 70%, which is better than Howard, but the good is actually relatively limited.

The difference between the two free throws per game is within 1 point. The gap is actually not that big. As an insider, Howard currently averages only 10.7 free throws per game. This is because he is often used to kill sharks.

Of course, as an outside super scorer who is currently considered to be the most lethal in breakthroughs, especially when scoring at the basket is comparable to the inside, James has averaged close to 30 points per game this season, and of course it does not rely entirely on free throws.

However, his outside shots accounted for less than a quarter, mid-range and long-range shots accounted for only about [-]%, and more than [-]% of his points were concentrated near the three-second zone.

It happened to be a team like the Magic with a super center and a strong inside combination; and Howard was going to face the second-highest big center in the league, Big Z. The star competition alone was also doomed. This is a battle of sparks hitting the earth.

"Okay, the two sides jumped the ball, Howard helped the Magic grab the first wave of possession, and Turkoglu directly advanced with the ball..."

The game has officially started, everything before the game has been left behind, and now it is a real contest.

Falling into position to attack, the Magic continued the style of play they played against the Lakers in the previous game. Li Chengming fell in the low post, facing James and directly opened his hands for the ball to play with his back.
