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

Chapter 223
Although it was a pity that he did not break the active record in the end, 25 assists in a single game is still enough to be listed in the annals of history, and he can also share the best active service with Kidd.

And this data also broke the single-game single-game assist record in the history of the Magic, and also created a new rookie single-game assist record, which is also worthy of special mention.

Many records of those ancient seals have certain characteristics of the times. It is naturally not easy to break through. For example, Zhang Dashuai averaged 50 points and [-] or [-] rebounds at every turn. Who can stand up to this?

There is no doubt that the overall level of competition is now higher than at that time, and the competition is also more intense, so it is even more difficult to achieve some data.

At the same time, Li Chengming also scored 30+ points and double-digit rebounds, and completed a triple-double of 30+20+10, which is also very unique in history.

So after this game, he directly became the focus of all reporters at the post-match press conference.

Although the Magic team has won and lost in the past eight games, it seems that the ups and downs are not small, and Li Chengming has exposed many of his weaknesses, but the Magic team, Howard, Li Chengming and others are still the most watched group in the league. star.

Because of his team record and outstanding personal performance, Li Chengming even faintly approached Dayao's attention in China, and at least in terms of popularity, he could rival Dayao in a short period of time, but he didn't have such a deep background and national awareness. degree only.

These, I am afraid, will have to wait until the Olympics next door to cultivate.

So there was no suspense. As soon as Li Chengming took his seat, many reporters began to ask questions. He was the focus of attention.

"What does it feel like to break the record today?"

"It's a very strange experience, that is, for the first time, I feel that I have the possibility of becoming history."

As soon as the words came out, both he and the reporter laughed.

This description is also very interesting, but of course the reporter can understand what he means.

"Did you think before the game that you would do something big?"

"That's definitely not the case. Before every game, I don't deliberately think about how many points I will score and what kind of performance I will have. Instead, I just think about winning this game!"

Li Chengming's words are obviously not just words, anyone who has watched the game knows that it is true.

It is precisely because Li Chengming puts the team's victory and defeat first, so his reputation has been good until now.

Even if he had his ups and downs some time ago, and made some outrageous mistakes, and even when he was targeted by opponents on the defensive end, the voices of external criticism did not form enough voices.

Of course, it's also because the duration is relatively short, and Li Chengming's data is still relatively favorable. If it takes longer, or his data drops, then the evaluation will definitely plummet.

This game is not a long drought, but it is also good for Li Chengming at the moment. At least some people say that Li Chengming can disappear for a while regardless of the voice of his teammates. After all, "assist" is the best explanation.

Not because of what this can show, but because their logic can be used against them.

"Li, regarding the best rookie, do you think you're pretty sure now?"

Li Chengming smiled, shook his head and said: "I won't think about it now, because this is not my selection, nor can I decide. All I can do is continue to play every game well. When the time comes, it should be My nature is mine. If it is not mine..."

He suddenly paused for a moment, which made the reporters a little surprised. As a result, the scene was really quiet for a while. It was not until Li Chengming himself burst out laughing that everyone started laughing.

He didn't say anything, but everyone understood it, and the league should understand it too.

The problem now is that there is no controversy at all, so there is no need to do things that forcibly create controversy.

In fact, after the official roster of the All-Stars came out and Li Chengming became the Eastern team's substitute, the controversy about the best rookie seemed to have an answer.

After all, this is the alliance's choice, and it seems that the alliance chose Li Chengming between Li Chengming and Durant.

Of course, this is actually an answer that can be had without much thought.

If the regular season ended at this time, Li Chengming would be able to accept the award immediately.

In the last less than [-] games, unless Li Chengming performed poorly and Durant suddenly broke out to complete the overtaking, otherwise there would be controversy.

Although it is common for these awards to be controversial, it is still difficult to make an upset when there is very little controversy.

In contrast, Howard's MVP and DPOY both have strong competitors. The former has Paul, Kobe and others, and the latter has Garnett.

His advantage is that his personal data and team record are very good, but because of Li Chengming's brilliant performance, he will lose a lot of light in the MVP competition.

On the contrary, it is DPOY. Everyone knows that Li Chengming is not good at defense, and maybe it can give him extra points.

……

This game seemed to make Li Chengming suddenly enlightened. In the match between the Magic and the Warriors at home on March 3, Li Chengming scored a triple-double again, and after there was no pressure to chase the record, Li Chengming performed more freely. Only 8 error.

The Warriors are currently chasing the critical moment for playoff tickets. Of course, it is not easy to compete for the playoffs in the West. The competition is very fierce, so every game at this time is very critical for the Warriors.

The bearded Baron Davis broke out and scored 33 points, and "Martial Saints" Stephen Jackson and Monta Ellis also performed well.

但是魔术队这边三人20+，霍华德全场15中9、罚球14中10砍下28分14篮板5盖帽，刘易斯三分7中4拿到20分7篮板4助攻，李成名则是11投10中，罚球8中7得到28分11篮板10助攻。

The Magic went into the first quarter with a 38-point lead at 26:12 and entered the second quarter. As a result, the offense stagnated in the second and third quarters, and the Warriors frequently counterattacked.

In fact, there was a problem with the offense during the rotation stage. The substitutes dug holes and filled the main force. At the end of the third quarter, the Warriors overtook them by 5 points.

In the fourth quarter, Li Chengming led the team to start a Jedi counterattack, winning by 20 points in a single quarter. In the end, the Magic won the winning streak with 120:105.

Relying on his performance in the past three games, Li Chengming also successfully won the best of the second week of his career.

There was another back-to-back in these three games. The Magic won all three games. Li Chengming averaged a triple-double and performed amazingly.

This also allowed the outside world to reverse the recent unfavorable public opinion situation for Li Chengming personally, and it turned into a good situation in an instant.

However, Li Chengming didn't have time to care about the outside world's opinions. These days, they had a two-day battle at home, so it was much easier.

On the following Monday night, they first easily defeated the Eagles at home. Li Chengming, Howard and Lewis seemed to have become the new "Big Three", with 20+ again.

其中霍华德拿到30+15的数据，刘易斯三分8中4得到25分，还有3次抢断。

Li Chengming scored few points, scored 14 points in 7 of 20, but had 11 assists. Unfortunately, he only grabbed 8 rebounds. It is a pity that he failed to have three consecutive triple-doubles.

Now he is madly addicted to assists, but he is not deliberately brushing up the data, which can be seen from his assist-to-loss ratio.

In fact, Li Chengming himself has some experience. After opening up on his side first, attracting double-teams and then passing the ball, it is actually easier to get assists.

Of course, the opponent's defense will also change accordingly, and it is not realistic to rely on this to get too many assists.

Li Chengming is simply rich in offensive methods, and there is not only one method.

It's a pity that this time he started 6 for 6, but he didn't expect to be surrounded by double teams, and he felt cold. In the second half, he went 8 for 1, which is rare.

Fortunately, it did not affect the overall situation, because Howard showed his influence on the defensive end. As long as the Eagles fail to achieve a quick counterattack, it will be difficult to get a good shot under his sweep.

Although he only blocked one shot this time, he is too intimidating on the defensive end. Even ESPN's commentators said that Howard, who performed like this, deserves a good look from the judges who voted for DPOY. Maybe if they didn't vote for him will change their minds.

After a smooth four-game winning streak, especially in the last three games, the three of Li Chengming performed well, and the overall offensive and defensive operation of the Magic team is also very good. The outside world can't help but exclaim that the previous "invincible Magic team" is back.

And soon Turkoglu also returned to the team. In the home game against the Clippers on the 12th, Turkoglu, who had rested for a month due to injury, officially announced his comeback.

This time point is just right, including this game, there are still [-] regular season games at the end, they can still have a good run-in.

In fact, there is no need to run in at all, he can seamlessly cut into the current team, but everyone returns to their previous positions.

However, the tempering during this period of time has finally yielded results. Van Gundy obviously didn't want to let it go so easily. Most of the time when Grew was not on the court, he followed the previous style of play.

Even when Li Chengming and him were on the court at the same time, Li Chengming's side was now the main player as much as possible. Instead of the low-post singles core as before, he directly launched tactics from the outside, which was unimaginable before.

Obviously, Van Gundy is also determined to train Li Chengming.

Fortunately, Turkoglu is a very low-key and obedient player. Generally, he does what the team needs and what the coach arranges. He never complains, and he never fluctuates because of the decrease or increase of his role.

So he is also the most stable player on the Magic team other than Howard and Lee Cheng-ming. Those two are stable because they have a basic set, and Turkoglu's stability is reflected in the fact that he can't make shots, but he won't be almost useless like Lewis. Still able to contribute to the team in other ways.

So Van Gundy also likes to use him very much. Generally, coaches will like this kind of hard-working and outstanding players.
