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

Chapter 247

"The Cavaliers are doomed!"

As the league's new super giant with the fastest rising momentum, James' fans in China are also in a period of continuous blowout. It may be because of his violent style of play, talent for flying into the sky, and all-around statistics. It may also be because of his old-fashioned Face?

In short, James, nicknamed "Little Emperor", also has a lot of fans in domestic forums, and just like many people used to use other stars to overwhelm Yao, now there are also many stars who like to use their favorite stars Come and press Li Chengming.

Among them, Jamie has the most, and the reason is very simple. Since Li Chengming entered the league, the most conflicting and topical thing is the "bad relationship" with James.

The media also likes to exaggerate in this way, which makes many fans think that they really have some deep hatred.

Then the fans on both sides were brought into such a rhythm, and they also fought with each other, and the conflict naturally deepened.

During the regular season, there are often scolding battles, not to mention the playoffs, they have to play a whole round of the series, and even before the start of the game, the topic of comparison between the two sides has covered the entire forum.

And when it really hits, it will be a gluttonous feast. On the other side, not many people even pay attention to the game between the Lakers and the Jazz.

Although Comey is also huge, the topic of their game is obviously not as high as here. At most, the "remnants" of Houston are counting on the Lakers to help them avenge. After all, there are still many because of the relationship between Kobe and McGrady. The hotness of affection.

Sometimes likes and dislikes are so strange, depending on the timing, they may change at any time.

Many people also stand on their own standpoint, and the ass determines the head.

Just like the Cavaliers will take a few unfavorable calls and feel that they are biased, Magic fans will also laugh at the other party for not being able to afford to lose.

Of course, opening champagne at halftime is a big deal, so many people are still not so sure, discussing how to maintain their advantage while discussing how to make a comeback. As for the real "battle", we have to wait until the game is officially over.

During the halftime break, Li Chengming saw Howard watching the news on his mobile phone, curled his lips and said, "I'm so impatient, why don't I watch it after the game is over?"

Howard scratched his head depressingly and said, "I was almost bored to death in the first half, they were targeting me!"

Li Chengming nodded understandingly. He knew that Happy Beast actually had something on his mind at this time, but it wasn't about this game. This concern came from the MVP.

In fact, he already knew in his heart that he was out of action. The media's wind vane was very clear. During the period when the regular season was about to end, they were all talking about Kobe, which already explained the problem.

And the league is actually more willing to praise Kobe, not to mention that Kobe was originally one of Jordan's successors they promoted, and he was also the most hopeful one to succeed Jordan. He should have won an MVP if he could complete the failed team season of defending his title.

It's normal for Howard to want to win the MVP, who wouldn't?
And with such an opportunity, it is human nature to worry about gains and losses, and even affect the state of the game.

As for his complaints, it was just an excuse. After all, it wasn't the first time he was targeted like this, and he was also targeted in the regular season. Not to mention that he should have gotten used to it, at least he shouldn't complain like this.

Li Chengming couldn't say anything, he could only pat him on the shoulder to comfort him.

Van Gundy didn't say anything in this midfield. He believed that by this time, everyone knew what to do next.

Although the performance after the break this time is not very good, the victorious temperament brought to them in the first round is still there, especially in the series against the Hawks, there are still two and a half games where they are behind and overturned. This makes them not panic at all, as long as they continue to be themselves in the second half.

The performance of the opponent also gave them confidence. The defense is already in place, and the offense will naturally come back. Compared with the defense, they are more confident in their offense that tops the league in the regular season. After all, they have what the outside world calls "four-star". .

At the end of the halftime break, everyone regained their spirits and reappeared. At this time, Van Gundy made a small change, allowing Li Chengming to appear directly in the second half.

Li Chengming was stunned for a moment, and then he came on the stage naturally, and everyone was also not surprised.

Li Chengming only played 10 minutes in the first half. In fact, everyone knows that Van Gundy is definitely planning to save it for more use in the second half.

But this obviously surprised many people, including the Cavaliers. Even James looked at Li Chengming a few more times when he was on the court. Any tactical changes?

Compared with Mike Brown, who is old-fashioned and flexible, the outside world has a high evaluation of Van Gundy, especially in the regular season of this season. The coach is the best recognition for him.

Although many of his attempts and training are based on his record in the regular season, this record is also achieved by him leading the team, and many tactical attempts have shown results later, including the previous first round, which is very rare. .

At this time, except for Nelson, the Magic's other four forwards are all over [-] meters tall. Although there is another [-] meters on the opposite side, the other four positions are at a disadvantage in terms of height.

Because Li Chengming's position at this time is also very strange. It looks more like the second position. In fact, it is a swinging forward and guard like Jordan and Kobe. It also uses the triangle offense as a blueprint. Li Chengming takes the ball in the low post and plays singles. Man screens, air cuts, standing in the sweet spot, and getting stuck under the basket, each performs its duties.

As for the defensive end, the Magic guarded a zone defense, Turkoglu stared at James, Howard guarded the penalty area, and Li Chengming mainly looked at the 45-degree flank of the strong side, so that even if he was too late to defend, his teammates could help. He fills in.

On the offensive end, relying on Li Chengming's deterrence, as well as the pull of the outside line, the opponent is exhausted. Double-teaming Li Chengming, following the outside line, and missing simple ball opportunities inside.

In fact, this is the practice of making up for what is lacking. As long as the other party is patient, they can usually find opportunities.

Defense is definitely impossible, so what about offense?
The biggest weakness of the Magic's lineup is their slow movement speed. Li Chengming, Lewis, and Turkoglu are not good at speed, especially in pick-and-roll defense. Squeezing is definitely impossible, so they can only switch defenses.

But the Cavaliers' offense was initiated by James. If he didn't break through, he wanted to pick and roll for a smaller defense. As a result, he turned from Turkoglu to Lewis on the outside, and then from Lewis to Lee Chengming. None of them were him. Can move easily.

Letting West play two and Big Z play two more is not efficient, and Howard gets stuck, Li Chengming or Turkoglu recovers to protect the rebound, and they all have a fast break in the frontcourt. Opportunity, Nelson succeeded in two consecutive fast breaks with 1-for-0 layups, relaxed and happy.

This made James' face as black as charcoal, and his eyes seemed to be brewing with death rays.

He had no choice but to stand up, and the only way to stand up was to break through. In the first half, he missed all three outside shots, and now he basically dared not shoot.

If you are behind by more than ten points, if you miss a three-pointer, you will be hit back directly, which is really difficult.

But to break through, you have to face layers of defense. After borrowing one layer, there is another layer. There is no room for strength at the basket. If the pass cannot attract help defenses, it will only cause mistakes and be counterattacked.

It took only 4 minutes to play like this, and the score difference was about to go to [-] points. Mike Brown could only call another timeout.

But scratching my head and scratching my head for a long time, there is really nothing I can do.

The Magic sit at home and occupy the right time, place and people. They are not easy to play.

And the Magic treats them like a bloodline suppression, and a father beats a son. From the regular season to now, they really have nothing to do.

Director Zhang laughed and said, "Now the Cavaliers have too many problems. In the third quarter, both offense and defense were problems. The Magic played much more smoothly, and a midfielder recovered his form."

Yoga said: "Coach Van Gundy directly brought up Li Chengming. It's really good. They don't suffer from the Cavaliers defensively. They also have a size advantage on the offensive end. The Cavaliers need to change their lineup."
