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

Chapter 218 Excited
The next Magic team is a back-to-back game, the next day they will go to the capital to play against the Wizards, but also the first of their last [-] games.

During the time when the All-Stars came back, it seems that they have returned to the intensive and scalp-numbing stage at the beginning of the season. The league is really inappropriate in arranging back-to-back arrangements for the Magic.

When it’s loose, it’s pretty loose, and you can have consecutive home games, or you can have several days in between, but it’s really tight when it’s tight.

But the good news for the Magic is that they have injuries, but the Wizards' injuries are more serious than theirs. Arenas and Butler are unable to play due to injuries, and only Jamison leads the team.

Even so, Van Gundy did not dare to be careless.

After all, the current state of the team is indeed not very good. There is a feeling that anyone can win, but also anyone can lose.

Li Chengming and Howard are relatively stable, and Lewis and Nelson are also fine. The key to victory or defeat depends on the performance of those role players.

It is unrealistic to expect the core to fly every game. After all, this is a team game, and role players should not stretch their hips too much, especially on the defensive end.

If they can stand up and help Li Chengming share some defense, it will obviously be better for the Magic.

The game was also broadcast on CCTV, Director Zhang first expressed his concerns about the Magic: "Recently, the Magic's state has fluctuated a lot. The impact is still huge…”

Sun Zhengping smiled and said: "I think this is also a painful period that must be experienced. After all, Turkoglu is a very important part of the Magic team's system. His absence not only affects the operation of the system, but also affects Van Gundy's platoon. Soldiers deployed.

"Now Li Chengming is used as the starter, which greatly weakens the rotation stage of the Magic team. It seems that everyone will not be able to play all of a sudden. The new rotation must also need to be adjusted. After a period of time to adapt, The effect should be better."

In fact, putting Li Chengming in the starting lineup at this time is definitely not the best choice for the Magic.

Li Chengming's characteristics allow him to stay on the bench to score points and "travel off the peak" in order to maximize his role.

In this way, not only the rotation needs to be re-run, but also the starting lineup.

But the problem is that now Li Chengming can't hold back. It's okay to say that Nelson is injured. After all, it is impossible for Li Chengming to go to the first and second positions. The number position, on the contrary, let Li Chengming put on the starting lineup and swing with Lewis, and they can also have a good chemical reaction.

In fact, although the defensive and organizational problems are not small, the offensive firepower of the Magic's starting lineup during this period is not low. Li Chenglist can also help the team by relying on singles.

What should be said is that because of the weakening of the rotation, if the starters cannot always have the advantage, then the loss of points in the rotation stage is the most critical place for them to lose the advantage of the game.

It's just that now that he has embarked on this path, Van Gundy doesn't want to turn back, and try to go to the end first to see what happens.

After all, since we have decided to temper the young player Li Chengming, we still have to believe in his ability to learn and adjust.

In fact, it was a familiar process for him to go from the bench to the starting lineup, and at least Li Chengming's personal performance was stable, which was due to his strength—a rookie is the first in combat power, which is already It has been recognized, and it is also the basis for looking forward to good changes in the future.

It is playing a new role and positioning in the starting lineup. It still takes a certain amount of time to find the feeling.

In fact, the coaching staff didn't watch. After these few games, they would record Li Chengming's performance in the form of video, and then give him a small lesson in the video analysis class, analyze the pros and cons, and help him improve. .

From the perspective of training, Li Chengming still listened to it, and made some progress. It only needs to be reflected in the game, and then it will be truly effective.

However, whether it is organization or defense, it not only requires his personal efforts, but also requires the cooperation of his teammates in many cases. This is no longer the effect of personal skills or tactical adjustments, but depends on their own understanding.

So maybe as the lineup develops and the tacit understanding slowly grows, it will naturally improve. In this regard, the entire coaching staff is still relatively optimistic.

The Wizards is located in the capital of the United States, and its full name is Washington, District of Columbia. It was named after the first President Washington.

After the 90s sank into the millennium, with the addition of Arenas, the team re-emerged.

This season, due to Arenas' injury problems, the Wizards' Big3 has not been able to get together to play in full health.

However, they are still able to stabilize in the ranks of the playoffs, which also shows that there are many capable players in the team.

For the Magic, even if such a team lacks two stars, it is still a challenge and a good whetstone.

As for Li Chengming, when he woke up early this morning, he suddenly had an inexplicable premonition that he felt very good today and would play very well.

This is not the confidence of a 100% hit card, but a mysterious intuition. In fact, many players, especially stars, have experienced it. It is precisely under this intuition that sometimes they make shots that seem unreasonable. , Incredible ball, sometimes hits the face, but sometimes can really make it.

Li Chengming also had this feeling before, but there was no game that day, so he could only squander all his touch on training.

This is the first time that this feeling coincides with the game day, which makes him very excited. When he was still in the locker room before the game, he kept shaking his body in position, almost making Howard next to him think he was knocking. medicine.

Even Van Gundy was alarmed, Li Chengming gave the Happy Beast who magnified the matter a hard look, and explained that he was just excited, did not take drugs, and never touched that stuff himself.

I don't know if they believe it or not, but there is nothing they can do if they don't believe him. In fact, for many people present, taking drugs is nothing at all.

Many people have had contact with aunts in college or even high school, and they may still be in contact now. In this circle, many people have smoked more or less. It is not a secret. Li Chengming has seen it when he went to nightclubs, and even Others took it to the locker room to show off.

Of course, the idiot who brought the item to the locker room would immediately face an internal suspension and a fine. It would be fine to discuss it in private, even if he took it privately and no one would care, it would be a problem if he brought it to the table.

But for Li Chengming, who has studied history, he only hates this thing, and he doesn't care about its toxicity or addiction, anyway, don't get involved.

In this environment, he will not judge others because of this, and it is even less likely that he will not contact them because of this, but he must be respectful and insensitive.

This is just a small episode, and it will soon be forgotten by everyone.

But after the game started, everyone finally understood what Li Chengming meant by "feeling excited".
