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

Chapter 214 I'm Over Jordan

After Howard returned to the court, he started the second quarter with a layup. Roy, who made his debut in the All-Star Game, also quickly entered the state and succeeded in two breakthrough attacks. However, Kidd also made a jump shot, and then Paul also made a mid-range shot. James slipped Cut to the bottom line and then Kidd made a dunk with a through ball, which kept the Eastern team ahead at 41:33.

Since then, the two sides have played several offenses, and of course there have been strikes. During this period, Kidd, James and Howard have continuously contributed wonderful cooperation and completed an alley-oop dunk. This not only helped the East team expand its lead, but also activated the atmosphere of the audience.

Especially yesterday's slam dunk contest has not been enough to watch, and now it is even more satisfying.

After James hit a 3-pointer from the left wing, the Eastern team led by 65 points 54:11.

At this time, Li Chengming played again. Although Van Gundy intended to give him more opportunities and gave him as much playing time as possible, it was difficult for him to decide the distribution of the ball on the field, such as Kidd and James. They can all be the head coach on the field directly, and they may not necessarily listen to him, so it's better not to make fun of yourself.

Anyway, Li Chengming, an all-star, has already gained something, so it's not a loss.

If you want to perform in the All-Star Game, there will be more opportunities in the future, so there is no rush at this moment.

Even if Jordan scored 7 points when he participated in the All-Star for the first time, he would surpass Jordan if he scored another three points.

And this opportunity came soon. After Roy and Anthony of the western team succeeded in attacking to help the team narrow the point difference, Li Chengming caught the ball in the low post and faced Stoudemire. Two consecutive false moves easily swayed he.

He still loves to dance...

Li Chengming had all his hands in the air and scored 2+1, helping the Eastern team to continue to lead.

At the same time, he also successfully broke Jordan's scoring "record" in the first All-Star Game (laughs).

Then the western side suddenly started double-teaming him, which surprised Li Chengming, but he quickly figured it out.

If it is said that there is back and forth in the game, then the defense should be looser, and it is no problem to start earning more points in the second half, but it has been lagging behind. As the stronger Western team on the surface, it must not be able to lose this face. It has to be recovered. Come.

The persimmons were soft, there was no doubt on the field that Li Chengming, a first-year rookie, was the one with the lowest cards on both sides of the field.

The All-Stars are a stage to show themselves. They seem to recognize that Li Chengming is young and energetic, he will do it when he gets the ball, and he will not choose to pass the ball when facing double-teams, but they don't know that Li Chengming really thinks so.

Moreover, their double-teaming is not at the same level as the intensity of double-teaming that Li Chengming encountered in the regular season, so Li Chengming is completely worthwhile. He easily opened the space twice and shot directly, although it was only 2 of 1 shots. However, it also made the opponent panic inexplicably.

Brother, isn't it just an All-Star, there's no need to "fight your life" like this, right?

In Li Chengming's view, it was really necessary.

After all, the All-Star stage attracts a lot of attention, far exceeding the regular season. According to Little Mike, this time is the best time to attract fans.

Moreover, the All-Star has nothing to do with the results of the regular season, and there is no need for Li Chengming to play as reasonably as he does in normal games.

At the same time, he is not good at bombing the basket and outside shooting, so he can only impress the fans by adding some difficult shots. Otherwise, he will score ten or so points in a dozen or 10 minutes. In the end, none of the fans will be impressed. , isn't he here for nothing?
What is called a difficult shot?
Of course, it is a direct hit against the defender, or a shot in the middle of the crowd. It is difficult to make a dunk in this situation. After all, everyone wants to save face. Become your background board, who do you think you are?
This set of Li Chengming still learned from Kobe. Compared with Jordan, Kobe does not have such a good ability to stay in the air, but he can still complete some amazing aerial operations with his own skills.

Of course, the main reason Kobe attracts fans is his super scoring ability, but "picturesque" is also absolutely inseparable.

And many people criticize Kobe for not being efficient enough offensively. This is true, but it is also because he does have too many difficult shots. This is very helpful for him to attract fans.

In fact, in the few years when the swingman was the most popular at the beginning of the century, these outside stars who played well and were popular were not particularly outstanding in terms of personal efficiency.

As far as the past two years are concerned, Kobe is in the upper reaches of the efficiency.

The characteristic of these people is that they digest a lot of ball possessions. In other words, they pile up shots in exchange for high scores. If the team has a good record, it will be "leading the team", and if the record is not good, it will naturally become a scoring.

This is inseparable from whether the league wins or not, and it is specifically reflected in the penalties. If there is no star whistle, many of them will have to discount some of their data.

This can't be helped, after all, the league has encouraged offense more and more in recent years, and the status of outside stars has soared.

Li Chengming is an insider, and he still plays on the floor. It is destined that there will be a gap between viewing and flying like Howard, but it doesn't matter. You can make yourself more difficult.

For example, if you have nothing to do, you will lean back, plunge into the crowd and throw the ball into the air like twisting twists.

Although the league is targeting him now, and the referees will be more stingy with their penalties, as long as there are more times, some should be given, and it can't be too obvious.

What's more, this is an All-Star.

"Oh, Li Chengming didn't play the ball very reasonably, but he scored very beautifully, very Kobe..." Director Zhang would occasionally like CUE players, such as Kobe, Dayao and so on, and now there are actually more of them. A Lee became famous.

But this time Kobe and Li Chengming had a "dream linkage" in his mouth. Although Kobe was injured and retired, his performance was completed on his behalf, and Li Chengming scored a beautiful 2+ this time. After 1, it's time to go to the free throw line again.

This gave the western team a headache, feeling that it was not right to double-team him, or not to double-team him.

Li Chengming still chooses to go up by himself if they are double-teamed, but they still seem to be unable to resist, because Li Chengming is now very good at shooting directly after protecting the ball. This is an offensive method that he slowly figured out.

This also depends on his unbelievably fast shooting speed. Shooting acceleration is one thing, and he himself intends to rely on this aspect when he is practicing shooting now.

It's also because of the benefits, there is no way, with his height, facing so many long men in the paint, if he doesn't pursue space and speed, he will be easily disturbed.

Especially now that opponents have increased their targeting of him, as well as various habits and understandings have deepened, he must have the ability to make opponents hard to defend against.

For example, like Iverson, everyone knows that he is going to go to the right, but he just can't keep up or guard because it is too fast.

And Li Chengming is the same, as long as the shot is fast enough, people will never be able to catch up, and he is used to this kind of fast shot, and he has the ability to aim in a flash, and the accuracy can keep up, so he will basically not be affected.

This will allow him to make strong shots even in the face of multiple double-teams.

As a first-year rookie, many opponents are still not familiar with him, and they are all arrogant stars. They only think that he is a new star who is packaged and boasted.

But soon, with the starters James Wei returning to the field one after another, Li Chengming took fewer shots and could only come and do some pick-and-rolls for them.

After Wade and James used the screen to break through, they successively staged wonderful dunks and began to detonate the audience again.

The Eastern team continued to maintain the lead, while the Western team was somewhat misfired during this period. Before Li Chengming went off the field, the Eastern team still maintained a 14-point lead.

The only problem is that during this period of time the ball is in Wade and James, and they even came to the line several times, reciprocating each other's flight attendants.

The audience enjoyed watching, but Li Chengming was the one running back and forth on the court, without even a chance to touch the ball.

I can also feel that it is somewhat intentional.

Although James didn't even look at him, it just proved that he was a little guilty.

Li Chengming knew that this kid had always been unhappy with being his background board, but now that the two were teammates, he couldn't face Li Chengming head-on, so he could only use such secret poking methods.

Although he hadn't read any books and couldn't talk about great wisdom, James, who had always been considered a smart man, must be indispensable in this kind of small calculation.

Although this is just his own guess, or it may be that the heart of a villain is the heart of a gentleman, Li Chengming still feels a little uncomfortable.

But he has nothing to say. After all, let alone him, Howard can't challenge James' status now.

It's okay if Garnett is on the court, but if Garnett is not there, James is undoubtedly the biggest player in the Eastern Conference.

In fact, there are also reasons why the West is strong and the East is weak. Look at the grades of the stars. Apart from James and Garnett, who else in the East can compare to Kobe, Duncan, Nowitzki, Nash and others on the opposite side? .

If it was Kidd two or three years ago, it would be okay, but it is obviously not working now.

Howard's rise is too fast, and the accumulation of honors is not enough for the time being; as for Wade, an FMVP seems to have exhausted his luck. The past two seasons have been plagued by injuries, so naturally there is no progress. That's the case for the time being at the coffee table.

And as Bosh played to replace Li Chengming, Li Chengming would not play again in the first half, and the data was fixed at 14 points, 6 rebounds and 2 assists.

Of course, there is still the second half, but from this half, it seems that Li Chengming has probably prepared himself psychologically. A villain drama was staged.

A little white man said calmly: "The world is like chess, and the world is so sophisticated. Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes. It cannot be avoided. Be normal, be normal."

A black villain said with a sly smile: "It's not rude to come here, it's not too late for a gentleman to take revenge, just wait!"

The little white man said: "It's better than Jordan has experienced this kind of ostracism, and even he was ostracized publicly. I am already considered good, and I have a big brother Howard with me."

The little black man said: "Jordan came back with revenge soon afterward? But he is not on the US team, so that's just right. He will fight back when he played against the US team in the Olympics. There is always a chance..."

After the end of the field, Li Chengming sat on the sidelines to rest, but Director Zhang and yoga in the commentary began to chat.

"Oh, Li Chengming played really well after playing today, and I don't feel any nervousness because of the change of the occasion." Director Zhang said with a smile: "It reminds me of Dayao's first time on the court. very different."

This is very different, not only referring to different situations and performances, but Li Chengming and Dayao are also completely different.

Yogi nodded in agreement, and said, "I thought that Dayao's mentality was already very good. Li Chengming gave me the feeling that a newborn calf is not afraid of tigers. Although he looks dazed, but he plays ball Come here and appear to be very clear-headed. To be honest, it is really rare."

In fact, after all, it is still strength in the final analysis.

If Li Chengming didn't play well, even if he was given time and opportunity, if he didn't perform, then it would look like he was not fearless, but a pure idiot.

"Hey! At this time, the camera was shown to Li Chengming who was on the sidelines. It seems that the American side also likes him very much."

This is also normal. As a new star this year, in the All-Star Arena, which is not home, you can see a lot of spectators wearing Li Chengming's jersey to support him. No, but it can also explain Li Chengming's popularity rising like a rocket.

The floor flow is not very entertaining, and it can also be viewed from two aspects of scoring. In the eyes of many old football fans, Li Chengming's low-post kaleidoscopic style of play just scratched their itch.

It's like in those old-fashioned action movies, watching the rigid dismantling of each other one by one, but it is far more interesting than those blowers, slow motion, and circling.

At least it looks like it's a real fight, and the moves are better than those soft fake moves that you don't even want to use.

If it weren't for Li Chengming's crookedness, he might have attracted even more fans in a short time.

In addition, he has a good personality, can play and talk, the team has a good record, has high media attention, and appears in the news many times, so he can naturally attract enough attention, and he has become a big traffic player.

When enough people pay attention to him, every move will be newsworthy, and the media will give him more shots, forming a virtuous circle.

After the end of the first half, the West team recovered some points in the last minute or so, and the point difference remained at [-] points.

Li Chengming followed everyone back to the locker room for the halftime break. In fact, he really wanted to stay where he was and watch the halftime performance. However, he still needs to play in the second half. Although the consumption is not too much, he has to rest. He can only wait until later. I went to watch it on replay.
