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

Chapter 245
After returning from this timeout, Van Gundy was not in a hurry to bring Li Chengming back to the field. The plan was to let him accumulate more energy, play the last 3 minutes before halftime, and let him play more in the second half. The rest is also for the purpose of being able to enjoy it later.

Li Chengming doesn't have much obsession with playing time. If the team can win, it's okay for him to play for [-] minutes more easily.

He now has a higher positioning of himself. He doesn't know what level he is based on his current strength, but at least in the system of the Magic team, he is the role that can supplement the system.

In the past, Turkoglu was the key shot for the Magic. Lewis was also an option. Let alone Howard. Nelson was ahead of him. Now Li Chengming is the first option, and he has hardly let the team down. Pass.

So Van Gundy is also very free to use him now. On the premise of ensuring his physical strength and avoiding injuries, he can let him decide the situation on the court by himself, how he should play, and whether he should attack or assist his teammates.

Li Chengming was not there, but the Magic were still able to play their offensive and defensive system. James had to try two mid-range shots, and they both hit.

This gave him some confidence, but it didn't shake the Magic's defense.

Even for mid-range masters like Jordan and Kobe, it is difficult to guarantee their efficiency in this area. It is often a last resort, and in retrospect, it is necessary to ensure that the team can defend against the opponent's attack, otherwise the mid-range "Inefficient", it is difficult to guarantee winning.

James lost the next two times, Howard protected the rebound, and Lewis only needed to block his opponent.

The Magic played a fast break, and the Cavaliers returned to defense quickly next time, but the Magic didn't panic when they fell into position.

In the leading position, they are now more pursuing the success rate of each round of offense, and it is best to be able to play tactics.

Even Turkoglu, who is the core of the tactical organization, does not stick to the ball. The Magic have been implementing an offensive strategy that everyone must run this season, and the same is true in the playoffs.

In this way, sometimes the offense may appear aggressive and reckless, which will increase some mistakes, but as long as the opportunity comes out, the offense will also appear to be very easy.

At this time, the Cavaliers didn't dare to grab double-teams at will, and Wallace didn't dare to go around easily, otherwise a reverse lob from outside to Howard would be an alley-oop, and he could only stop it with a foul.

After Howard gets stuck, Turkoglu or Nelson who returns to the field can directly hand the ball to him. Howard still struggles to play Wallace in singles. Although he has some advantages in height and weight, he is weak. It's still not stable enough in the next game.

In addition, Howard's handwork is too rough, and Wallace is also very experienced in defense. He knows that as long as he is stuck outside the three-second zone, his offensive threat is not much better than himself.

Toss?

Hook?

Face frame breakthrough?

If Howard knew this, he wouldn't be picked on by those celebrities.

To be honest, Stoudemire, who is currently in the center position of the Suns, can shoot and break through everything, and occasionally show off his feet. Coupled with his athletic ability, he is simply a big killer in the face. Up to Duncan can not fall behind.

It's a pity that Stoudemire's defense is not very good, he hasn't improved much after so many years, and he is prone to fouls.

If Stoudemire's offense and Howard's defense can be combined, it's hard to imagine.

However, Zhang Fei's embroidery-rough guys can also do fine work. Howard and Li Chengming often train together in the team, and they often play heads-up. In fact, there is some progress in this respect.

Li Chengming is not very good at defensive backs and breakthroughs, but if you want to hit him hard in the low post or under the basket, he can still withstand single defense.

At least Howard is used to it now, and he won't sway forward as soon as his foot is held back, but after stabilizing his body, he can use the opponent to turn around when he doesn't react, or even wants to move forward.

The defender can unload the stool, and of course the offensive side can also take advantage of this opportunity to play a time difference.

And once Howard has the space to rush up, Wallace can't do anything about him.

"Howard turned around and attacked the frame directly, good dunk!"

In the past, Director Zhang, who was somewhat displeased with Howard, is now showing mercy to Warcraft because of Li Chengming's relationship.

At this time, he is not stingy with praise. After all, after Houston was eliminated, Li Chengming became the "only hope in the village" for domestic fans. The momentum of the Magic is so good. Everyone really hopes to see him win the championship. Champion, standing on the pinnacle of the NBA.

Yoga chuckled and said, "Warcraft's goal is more morale-boosting than Lewis's dunk just now, and the home fans are also shouting. The Magic's offense is so easy here, and it will also put a lot of pressure on the Cavaliers. Let's see How did they fight this time..."

The fans at the Amway Center didn't just scream for Howard, there were even a lot of "MVP" calls.

This is also everyone's hope, because the MVP has not yet been officially announced. Although there are already rumors that it will go to Los Angeles, for Magic fans, they obviously prefer their own Howard.

What's more, he has already won the DPOY. If he wins the MVP and then wins the championship, Howard's career will be completed directly, and he will probably become Orlando's eternal darling.

Of course, part of the reason for this is that they are not happy to see the Lakers players "steal" the honor of the Magic players, just as O'Neal still hates the treatment of him by the Magic, and the Magic fans also remember the Sharks. Exodus and the poaching of the Lakers.

At this time, the Magic players on the court did not celebrate too much, and immediately turned to defense.

In this round, Szczerbiak hit an outside three-pointer for the Cavaliers. He has scored 7 points in this quarter, becoming the player with the most points for the Cavaliers besides Big Z.

Then after a few more rounds, the Cavaliers were able to stabilize the situation and cling to the score, but this was far from enough for them, but there was nothing they could do about it.

The Magic also replaced Turkoglu in the middle to take a break, and directly played the one-star four-shot card. The Cavaliers wanted to repeat the same trick as before, but Van Gundy was prepared, and Howard became a bait instead. The real main attack is the touch Lewis gradually recovering.

结果刘易斯两回合一个三分一次空切2+1连拿6分，本节也已经拿到了12分，帮助球队再将比分拉开到了10分。

And when Gibson made a layup on the Cavaliers side and caused a foul, the Magic directly replaced Li Chengming, and replaced Howard, so the field changed from position [-] to position [-], Nelson, Bo The lineup of Gans, Li Chengming, Lewis, Gortat.

Seeing this, Mike Brown quickly turned the players into a three-two defense. On the one hand, he could watch the outside shots of Bogans and Lewis, and on the other hand, it was convenient to pinch Li Chengming at any time.

The Magic's lineup is obviously a triangle offensive configuration based on Li Chengming's low-post singles. Two shooters, a breakthrough and a blue-collar center.

At this time, Pavlovich became the main defender against Li Chengming, James was standing on the side of the line, and Big Z had just returned from a few minutes of rest in the middle of the line.

Defense alone is obviously not going to work. Although Li Chengming is not as tall as O'Neill and has lost weight now, his weight is still the heaviest in the league, and his strength is also top-notch. There is no one who can compete with him in this area alone. , even Dayao's incomparably solid bottom plate is difficult to stand up to.

What's more, Li Chengming is not a reckless man who can only use strength. When you are trying to confront him with all your strength, he will either turn around and wipe the basket, or turn forward and go to the free throw line to take off and throw.
