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

Chapter 255
During the timeout, the first sentence Van Gundy said made everyone stunned: "Next, let's cut the big money."

The first action Li Chengming reacted to was to look at Howard, and the Warcraft was expressionless.

But everyone really felt very interesting in their hearts. In the past, they were the ones who were chopped off, but one day they could kill others.

In fact, Howard was cut in the previous two games against the Eagles and the Cavaliers at home.

But it didn't affect the situation of the game, and this time because of the Cavaliers' home whistle, Howard was in foul trouble, and the Cavaliers didn't seem to need to use foul tactics.

It's just that the Cavaliers don't cut it, they have to use it at this time.

This is also a helpless choice made by the Magic to prevent the opponent from opening for the rest of the time when the Magic is in trouble.

If executed well, they might be able to use this opportunity to lead by a few points at the end of the half-time.

At present, only the last 2 minutes before the end of the game can not foul people without the ball. This is because the previous shark-cutting tactic was introduced to prevent the team from directly profiting from this rule at critical moments.

In other words, there is no such restriction in the first three quarters.

So when the Magic's offense was blocked, just as Wallace took off the rebound, Foyer immediately went up and fouled.

In fact, with the sudden replacement of role players on the Magic side, some people have already guessed what they want to do.

It's just that using this trick at this time doesn't give the Magic the feeling that they're at their wit's end, on the contrary it's a bit ironic.

Ma Jian said cheerfully: "You see Howard laughed off the court. He was the one who was cut before, but now the Magic have cut someone else. If the knife doesn't cut himself, he can still have fun."

Filled with a smile, he said, "The key is that it is really useful. You see, Wallace missed the first free throw..."

Generally speaking, for this kind of players who are not very good at free throws, the first free throw is very important, because the first free throw can boost confidence, and maybe the second free throw can also be hit.

And if the first free throw is missed, especially if he is being used as a slashing tactic, the pressure on the second free throw will be huge, and there is a high possibility of missing the shot.

Sure enough, Wallace's second free throw came out. Li Chengming used a point grab to take off the backcourt rebound, and the Magic immediately launched a fast break.

The Cavaliers reacted very quickly. After all, they all knew that Wallace had a big problem with free throws. His teammates didn't have much confidence in him. They were already ready to check out. West and Szczerbiak immediately Just ran halftime.

Where is James?save me...

Oh, he's rebounding here.

He didn't grab the rebound, and he couldn't retreat the first time.

Li Chengming directly passed a pass to Evans in the frontcourt. Evans caught the ball and wanted to make a layup, but was destroyed by West who was chasing the ball and went out of bounds.

This fast break can be regarded as their defense, and it is still the Magic's frontcourt.

This time Li Chengming pulled out to catch the ball, and he was not in a hurry to make a shot when facing James. He first observed the positions of his teammates, and when he saw that they were all pulled away, he understood, dribbled the ball slowly and carried James to the low position like this.

Because of the style of play, Li Chengming and James actually don't directly face each other most of the time.

Even if Li Chengming will defend James, James will not choose to defend Li Chengming in many cases. After all, although James is considered a heavy forward, he is only in the forward position. Li Chengming is the tonnage and physique of a center forward, not to mention his strength. comparable.

However, after Li Chengming received the ball, Lewis directly took away another defender. James couldn't change defenses with his teammates at this time, so he could only squat down and watch Li Yong's movements.

With James' physical talent, he has the foundation to be a low-post defender.

However, Li Chengming, who is opposite him, is also a low-post killer with the top offensive ability. He directly crushed him with strength, and James seemed helpless.

Although the heights are similar, but the size difference is too much, Li Chengming is almost a circle bigger than he looks.

James wanted to remove the stool, but he was afraid that Li Chengming would not be caught.

After so many contests, he could tell that the fat man looked very simple and honest, but he was actually a ghost, and he had accumulated a lot of experience after playing for a season.

Because most of his offense is concentrated in the low post, and he played a deterrent effect early on. In the second half of the regular season, many teams have made various targeted arrangements for him. Li Chengming can be regarded as insightful. various defenses.

So now he has already practiced how to deal with various situations, and he will not be easily fooled at all. Even James has to worry about being shaken away by him.

Because Li Chengming's fake movements didn't match his body shape at all, they were done very realistically, or else he was flexible and fat.

He has strength, skill, and even an occasional display of athleticism.

For example, this time he turned his back on James, and when James was still pushing hard, he suddenly turned over and made a jump shot, and the ball flew across the air and landed firmly in the pocket.

It was too late for the Cavaliers to form a double-team, because theoretically Li Chengming hadn't reached the best attacking position yet.

But if his offensive radius can spread to the three-point line, he can shoot as soon as he takes the shot, and he can shoot when he feels good and confident, but there is no solution.

Then the Cavaliers attacked and the Magic started fouling Wallace again.

This time Wallace made two free throws and one, he was relieved, but because of his free throw problem, the Magic has already tied the score, and then the Magic will attack again.

This round is still the same routine, Li Chengming came out to catch the ball, Lewis took away the defender, James was just about to move and saw Li Chengming suddenly dribbled the ball to the basket and had to pull back.

But Li Chengming was not in a hurry when he saw this, and began to put his back on his back again.

James complained incessantly in his heart, and scolded Wallace thousands of times in his heart, who said that he could switch defenses as soon as he said, saying that offense is not good enough and defense is not good, MADE is trash.

Here, Li Chengming suddenly confuses James by shaking his shoulders, then turns around and takes another step to the basket. Facing an empty basket with a forceful abuse, he pulls the basket out of a hole that is visible to the naked eye. bent state.

This time the movement was very smooth and fast. James was so confused that he stood there like a log. When he realized that there was no one in front of him, Li Chengming was already dunking.

"Good shot!" Yang Yi immediately exclaimed, "This ball will definitely be among the top ten shots of the week. Even if the opponent is not James, Li Chengming's turn around and dunk this time is also very beautiful. It's like a textbook fake turn with your back!"

Even the audience at the home court of the Cavaliers couldn't help but marvel when they saw Li Chengming.

The main thing is that their "KING" became the background board, which is shocking and annoying.

James turned his head to look at Li Chengming, who was about to return to the defense, and looked a little helpless with his arms akimbo.

For some reason, he felt that the opponent seemed to be a little shorter than himself, but he was able to hold high and fight like a big center two or three heads taller than him.

Moreover, Li Chengming's technical movements are very solid, and he will not be like Howard, who can only be violent and hard, so James dares to say that he can still withstand it. After all, Howard is only a few kilograms heavier than him, and Howard's lower body strength It is indeed a problem, and the shooting is not good. As long as James sinks his body and carries him outside the penalty area, he can still limit him as much as possible.

Howard's real threat is not his singles, but the roll after the pick-and-roll, because the athletic ability is there, and the impact is even more exaggerated than Stoudemire, and it is difficult to block.

Looking back, as expected, Foyer fouled Wallace again, and this time the timing was very accurate. The Cavaliers had the last offensive round left. James wanted to press the time. The basket and Wallace were stuck, and the action was too large and was called a foul.

At this time, James really wanted to discuss with the referee, "Can it be counted as a foul?"

He suddenly felt that the so-called home whistle was not a fun thing sometimes.

Let's just have a good attack, shall we?

Of course, the home fans can see the situation clearly, and they can only boo the Magic for such a shameless act.

But Van Gundy didn't mind at all, this was exactly the effect he wanted, and it could even be said that Li Chengming's accomplishment was somewhat beyond his expectations.

Now the Magic are leading by two points, and they still have the ball in the future. Regardless of whether Wallace can make these two free throws, they can at least enter the intermission on an equal footing.

In the case of so many away games being targeted in the first half, he felt that this was enough.

In the second half, I think the referee will be more restrained. In fact, the referee seems to have restrained himself at this time, otherwise they may all look for opportunities to praise Li Chengming first.

After all, when he wants to get stuck in position and play singles, his hands cannot be completely clean. If he really wants to catch it, there must be a reason.
