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

Chapter 253
Of course, the referee can also call a foul, but looking back at the Magic's offense, Evans hit the basket with almost the same action and hit Joe Smith, and even the latter's arm was still pressing down, but he didn't whistle foul.

The Cavaliers got the rebound and went straight to the fast break. They didn't miss the chance to play more or less in the frontcourt, and easily scored two points.

Although the referee's face remained unchanged and he turned a deaf ear to it, the seasoned Van Gundy knew very well that this form of his own was necessary, because unless the league issued a deadly order to keep the Cavaliers, otherwise it would be this game, or this There will be a little interference in the first three quarters of the game, and the rest will be left to the players to decide.

If that's the case, the referees will start to act in the first two games, instead of the third game "Godfather's Care" is long overdue.

So this is estimated to be the same as the third game between the Celtics and the Raptors, which is to forcibly create suspense.

In the future, maybe in order to appease the opinions of the Magic team, some balance calls will be found.

Although sometimes the so-called balance whistle is more disgusting than the partial whistle, it is not pleasing to both sides.

These are all routine operations in commercial leagues. Although David Stern was very successful in promoting the NBA, many of his operations were controversial. He intended to help Jordan get the All-Star MVP, but he messed it up.

There are even more controversies in the game, the Princeton King, the regret of running and bombing the Suns, the "black whistle" controversy in the 06 finals, and domestic fans are familiar with it. In the previous playoffs between Houston and the Mavericks, the former was in the 2: With a lead of 0, the referee began to whistle a large number of Yao's pick-and-roll fouls and walking violations, which ruined Houston's good situation and was reversed by the Mavericks in the first round.

This kind of comeback is even more unacceptable than being turned over by the Jazz last season. After all, last year it can be said that he was not as skilled as others and did not seize the opportunity.

Of course, even so, Stern's contributions to the NBA must still outweigh his demerits, and it is estimated that his successors will hardly surpass him.

The Cavaliers were able to reach the finals last season. It can be said that they played a gap period when the old overlord Pistons went downhill and the defending champion Heat also suffered from injuries and core decline.

After all, the league has been looking for a "Jordan successor" after Jordan retired. Kobe stopped the league from praising him because of off-court controversy, so newcomers need to come out, and James, who debuted as the "son of the chosen one", is naturally very It is suitable to take on this burden.

Although last season was finally swept out by the Spurs in the finals, it still allowed Stern to see the potential of James and the Cavaliers.

However, the Cavaliers this season is obviously not suitable for hard-charging. Not only will the Magic have to be black, but the Green Army will also have to be black, and then whether it is the Lakers or the Spurs in the West, they may also be black.

Just ask who the Cavaliers can beat here?

The league is not stupid, so let alone other teams will be dissatisfied, and it is not convincing to outside public opinion.

So Van Gundy's pressure was to the point, and he walked back immediately.

The referee didn't seem to be affected, and the first quarter ended quickly. The Magic relied on Du Lin's breakthrough layup to chase the score to 29:32, only 3 points behind and entered the second quarter.

"This game is not very good for the Magic. Today the Cavaliers are in full swing at home, and Li Chengming and Howard were both troubled by fouls in the first quarter. It is obvious that the Cavaliers are making a fuss about them and want to If we beat them down, the biggest advantage of the Magic over the Cavaliers will be gone..."

Today is still CCTV's live broadcast. Ma Jian and Yangyi sit down to explain. Although Yangyi didn't specify the referee's problem in his words, the meaning is still there.

Although the difference in points is not big, Li Chengming and Howard, the two cores of offense and defense, are both trapped in fouls, which is definitely a bad signal for the Magic.

Ma Jian also said: "It depends on how Van Gundy arranges the rotation of personnel. The foul crisis not only restricts Li Chengming's appearance, but also a big test for the head coach to arrange the rotation."

After all, there are only so many players who can play. In the playoffs, where sometimes point-to-point may affect the overall situation, the lack of defense or offense may be caught by the opponent.

That's why the rotation is often shortened in the playoffs, that is, many people can play in the regular season, and they can also buy time for the main players. If the intensity in the playoffs increases, it may be a side effect.

There is also a big problem in the Magic team that it is almost impossible to find a person who is truly integrated offensive and defensive. That is to say, when the head coach matches the lineup, he always has to give up certain aspects.

If the core is not strong enough, whether it is Howard's defensive drive or Li Chengming's offensive deterrence, it is rare in the league... No, in short, because of the personal ability of the core players of the Magic, Van Gundy only needs to match the role players well. Play a good power.

But once the main force is directly targeted, for example, not only Li Chengming and Howard, but also Nelson, Turkoglu and Lewis all had a foul in the first quarter, and they may all be targeted in the future, then the Magic team is indeed quite difficult. that's it.

However, Van Gundy was still unaffected. In the second quarter, he chose to rotate according to his original idea. Li Chengming and Nelson were one inside and one outside, with Bogans, Durin and Gortat.

This lineup had a good effect against the Eagles before, and the offense can play defense and can also be stable, especially when facing the opposite bench lineup in the rotation stage, it often has miraculous effects.

In short, Li Chengming's "abusive dish attribute" is too strong, and the more dishes he faces, the stronger he becomes.

Both Bogans and Dooling can do 3D. They are responsible for widening the space to catch and shoot. Although Te is not physically strong enough, he is not very good at low-post single defense and top defense, but relying on his mobility and judgment ability, he is very good at defending pick-and-rolls. He does not suffer from outside impacts and can also guard the penalty area.

Van Gundy is now using Gortat more and more, and even in the playoffs the Poles got more opportunities than in the regular season, because he can replace Howard's role to a certain extent.

Of course, the defensive coverage is still far behind Howard, but being able to stand up for a while can help Howard share a lot of pressure, and he cooperates well with Li Chengming.

At the same time, on the offensive end, he is also very good at cooperating after the pick-and-roll roll. Compared with Howard, he is better at supporting the pass. He can only be said to be a European player.

Nelson likes to play with him the most, and he sent out two consecutive assists. The Cavaliers were attracted by Li Chengming because of their defensive attention, which inevitably gave other Magic players a chance to play.

Li Chengming's hands were easily tied up due to foul problems, so Van Gundy also arranged for Nelson to attack first, and the effect was really good.

After the arrival of Lewis and Li Chengming, Nelson's status in the team has dropped a lot, and the ball rights have not been allocated to him. This somewhat makes the management feel that the signing with him last year was a bit of a loss.

But to be honest, he is really the only point guard that the Magic can really use now.

And at this time, he was able to stand up, which was actually not a loss to the contract he signed.

In this way, when the second quarter was played for more than 3 minutes, the Magic led by 3 points. Although Li Chengming could not score a point during this period, he sent an assist, and his tactical role on the offensive end cannot be ignored.

Even on the defensive end, he also contributed. Not only did he cooperate with Gortat to protect the backcourt rebounds, he also contributed a steal and a block in the defense.

If it weren't for the explosion of West on the Cavaliers side, and the efficiency of all 5 shots has been super high so far, this wave will be opened up by the Magic.

Mike Brown scratched his head, had to call a timeout, and then wanted to trade James back first.

But for the Magic, Van Gundy also knew that it was very important for them to win this game, so he took Lewis back first, and moved Li Chengming to the third position, but he played Teco in the previous regular season. During Gru's absence, Li Chengming's "ball-holding core" style of play.
