Chapter 246 A Double-Digit Lead
Li Chengming's hand feeling is very soft, this is a well-known thing, the footsteps return to the footsteps, and there are quite a few hand flaws after shaking out of the space, but Li Chengming doesn't need to worry about this here, this is also the original hand feeling Combined with some skill bonuses.

Now in training, Li Chengming does not need to hit 100% of the cards, and he can occasionally stage a jump shot that hits every shot.

The shooting percentage from beyond the three-point line can also reach [-]% or even [-]%, which is an amazing statistic.

Therefore, Li Chengming standing outside the three-point line will not be like James, and he can still be let go a step or two, because he can basically get in if he is allowed to shoot open positions. On the contrary, he is easily affected when he is disturbed. The range is too far, it is not easy to grasp.

In the next offseason training, this is what Li Chengming plans to focus on.

Of course, Li Chengming would not go outside to take risks if he could attack stably in the low position, and it was only in this position that he could easily attract double-teams.

Just like this time, James came forward to double-team shortly after he got the ball. It seemed that he wanted to hit Li Chengming who was unsteady and caught off guard, but Li Chengming now has "hawk eyes", which can be said to be eye-catching. When approaching, the ball was passed to Bogans who was vacant outside.

It was too late for James to turn around to defend. Bogans caught the ball and shot directly, and hit a three-pointer steadily. It was so easy.

Director Zhang excitedly said: "It's different when Li Chengming comes up. The Magic's offense is simple but effective. Even so, the Cavaliers don't dare to defend him alone!"

Yoga smiled and said: "Li Chengming can't be restrained by single defense. If you let him run to the basket, this offense will be sure, so it is impossible for the Cavaliers to let him attack by himself. I would rather bet on the Magic's outside shots. Enter."

Of course, the probability of this kind of simple opening is still relatively low. The Cavaliers made some mistakes in defensive communication. In the next round, Li Chengming was double-teamed and then split the ball. Nelson caught the ball and immediately sent the ball to Lewis in the corner. The direction shifted, but at this time Gibson made a save and broke the ball out of bounds.

After re-serving the ball, Nelson came out to catch the ball. Li Chengming pulled up to a high position and made a pick and roll for him. After changing defenses, he faced Pavlovich. Nelson seemed to be planning to play by himself. He dribbled and broke through with Pavlovic for a high hit. The basket was interfered and missed, but Li Chengming, who followed up, grabbed the offensive rebound.

James suddenly came up and slapped him on the back of his hand, intending to take the ball out, but the whistle sounded the next second.

James and Li Chengming were taken aback at the same time. After seeing the referee's signal, Li Chengming expected it, but James threw the ball and spread his hands and went forward and shouted: "I caught the ball, no foul..."

He wanted to explain his intentions, but the referee didn't know what his intentions were. He was really a thug, and his voice was so loud. Is he blind or deaf?

The replay of the scene clearly showed that Li Yong caught the ball first before letting him cut the ball.

James looked up at the big screen with his hips akimbo, and shook his head. He didn't know whether he felt wronged by being targeted or helpless. Anyway, he must be a little unconvinced.

The home fans also unrestrainedly booed him in high decibels, especially when Li Yong's hand was slapped, and a big red mark was placed there, which made people feel that he was not running for the ball It's simply for people.

Of course, it is estimated that no one can see it so clearly in the blink of an eye. Li Yong also thinks that James should not be intentional this time, but it does not prevent him from fouling. At this time, the number of times has been accumulated. He even sent Li Chengming to the free throw line twice. Free throw.

This is also the reason for James' helplessness and dissatisfaction. This is tantamount to giving the Magic a successful offense in vain, especially considering Li Chengming's stable free throws. 87% hit rate.

Sure enough, Li Chengming walked to the free throw line and made two free throws steadily.

Then it seemed that he was affected by this foul. James suddenly turned on the berserk mode. He got the ball at the top of the arc and went straight to the basket to kill.

At this time, it was Li Chengming who was guarding the restricted area. This might be his response.

However, the Magic continued to use the previous defensive strategy at this time, but the personnel were changed.

Although the defensive quality is definitely not comparable to Turkoglu + Howard, but after withstood the breakthrough in front of him, it is impossible for him to directly break through to the basket for an easy layup.

Moreover, Li Chengming was still waiting for him. If it was a one-on-one outside the reasonable collision zone, James would not be able to stand up to him. After being stuck in the position, he tried to draw a foul but failed, wasting two opportunities for nothing.

He should have changed very quickly, or he calmed down, called two more pick-and-rolls, and planned to switch to a guard to play against the smaller guys.

At this time, the Magic had no choice but to go forward to attack, otherwise Nelson and the others would definitely not be able to stop him.

Although Li Chengming felt that his back was too clumsy, he didn't have to sit too deep, he could just turn over and hit the board with a jumper at 45 degrees, he still had to grind a few more steps inside, not so much to attract Double-teaming, Li Chengming thinks it's more likely that he didn't have the confidence to shoot too far from the basket.

Although the Magic did spend a lot of effort on targeting James, they basically defended him in the vicinity, and the rest of the Cavaliers did not give him enough help, but so far there are still 11 out of 3. The performance of 6 turnovers still made Li Chengming feel very disappointed.

Not to mention those fans who support the Cavaliers and him, James, are so disappointed.

Are you sorry for them?

Although before the start of this round of the series, the situations of the two teams were not comparable, and everyone regarded the Cavaliers as dismounted, but they all believed that James was the key to the Cavaliers' breakout and the decisive factor in their victory over the Magic. .

As a result, this decisive factor was pulled first. In this half, it was not even as good as the performance of Big Z, who was considered by some fans to be holding him back.

In the last minute, the Magic team switched back to all the main players. Li Chengming returned to the fourth position. James called the pick-and-roll and wanted to hit him. It seemed that he regarded him as the only breakthrough for the Magic team at this time.

However, after the second half of the season, the Magic has been able to hide Li Chengming well without being affected by other factors.

At least he will not be allowed to be the first line of defense facing the opponent's outside line. Basically, he is delayed on the line, and then his teammates immediately follow up to change defenses. James even needs to call three pick-and-rolls in a row to switch to him. At this time, the time has taken 17 seconds.

The last 7 seconds were too late, so James could only rush to score. This time, Gibson in the bottom corner was upbeat, hitting a 3-pointer, and even caused a foul by Bogans, and there was also an additional penalty.

At the end of the first half, the Magic ended the half with a lead of 56:45 and 11 points.

If it weren't for Gibson's key 3+1, the Magic led by 15 points, and there would be basically no need to play later in this game.

But that's it, the Magic also played directly against the Cavaliers for halftime.

At the halftime summary, Director Zhang said: "The Cavaliers' defense is good, and there are restrictions on the Magic, but their offensive state is worse than that of the Magic. If they can't get it back, especially the core James himself If the offense is not played well, it is impossible to expect to win."
