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

Chapter 265 After the game and the fourth game
"The young magician made a key steal, the magic team 3:0, and the promotion situation is very good!"

"The magic boy of Huaguo once again showed his power. After attacking, he reproduced his defensive potential, stealing a lore and killing Cleveland. LeBron James made a fatal mistake and ruined the home victory. He was one step away from being eliminated."

"The last pick counterattacked a miracle! LI saved the team again, how many times is this?"

"It's better without Warcraft? Howard watched the battle off the court, and the magicians will be united to defeat the King and seize the ride!"

"Is there hope for consecutive sweeps? The Magic are only one game away from advancing, and the Cavaliers are already on the edge of the cliff in the fourth game."

"James' performance caused dissatisfaction among the fans. What happened to the Eastern Conference champion last season?"

……

The media are all followers of the trend, and they will jump wherever the trend goes.

本场詹姆斯17投6中，但是有13次罚球，命中了10次，砍下25分5篮板8助攻，失误也控制在3次。

What is incomprehensible is that he made 5 of 3 shots from outside the three-point line, which means that he only made 12 of 3 shots inside the three-point line.
And if you only look at the data, you will find that he still has 3 steals and 4 blocks, and he defended the gate properly. In fact, only one of the four blocked shots directly created a fast break opportunity, and the follow-up magic attack was still successful after two fan-outs, and the gold content was not that high.

Of course, the key is that the Cavaliers still lost.

If you win, then it's time to blow it up. As for the hit rate, it's just a small problem.

But when he lost, even though his overall performance was much better than the previous two games, he still couldn't avoid being criticized, and even attracted more criticism.

Adding insult to injury is the drama that the media is best at, and the same is true for the fans. If you don't rush to step on it at this time, you are still waiting for your "resurrection" to come back next season?
That's right, in the eyes of many, James can only look forward to next season.

0:3 behind, still lost the most important first home game, it is not impossible for the Magic to take them away in one go in the fourth game.

On May 5, the game between the Celtics and the Raptors and the Spurs and the Hornets began again.

The two away teams have proved that Jiang is still old and spicy. The Celtics are still playing very anxiously, which is actually their normal away performance since the playoffs.

But in the end they relied on Pierce's key goal with 1.3 seconds to kill the Raptors.

Bosh missed the last shot, the Raptors lost a best chance, and the two teams returned to the same starting line.

And this time the Celtics, who are back at home, may not give the Raptors another chance like they did in the first game.

So the outside world changed direction, and then began to be optimistic about the Green Army again.

As for the Spurs, the away game staged a wonderful victory, continuing Ginobili's starting strategy in the previous game. Duncan's recovery surprised the fans even more.

In this game, Duncan scored 22 points, 15 rebounds and 4 blocks, and dominated the game on both ends of the offense and defense. Thanks to his outstanding performance, the team won by 10 points in the second and third quarters.

The instability of the Hornets youth team has also begun to appear. Except for Paul who scored 20+ steadily, no one of his teammates scored more than 11 points, and the offensive efficiency is even worse.

The Hornets' promotion situation suddenly became the same as that of the Raptors, which is not optimistic.

The playoffs focus on experience, and veterans are at an advantage in all aspects except physical strength at this time.

Another day later, it was the turn of the game between the Lakers and the Jazz, but unlike the other two sides, the Jazz returned to their home court to win two consecutive games.

Kobe also scored 30+ points in these two games, but his teammates were not good enough in the first game. The Jazz's Boozer and Deron, both internal and external cores, stood up. Deron got a double-double, and Boozer He even scored 20+20, blowing up the Lakers' inside line.

After this game, the media promoted how "soft" Gasol was for two days, which seemed to prove that it was a matter of course for them to vote for Kobe as the MVP.

And in this game, Gasol and Odom all stood up, and even Fisher scored 5 points in 4 of 15 three-pointers, but the Jazz team blossomed. Deron scored 29 points and 14 points. Assists, proving that he is no worse than Paul.

Both teams played well offensively, but the Jazz sit at home and their morale is booming.

Three consecutive series have been scored 2:2, this entanglement even makes people doubt whether there is a script.

Everyone's only hope was placed on the match between the Magic and the Cavaliers. As a result, the Magic really overturned.

In fact, there were rumors before the game, and after the list came out and it was confirmed that Turkoglu was absent from the game due to physical discomfort, many people felt that it was not good.

Without Turkoglu, Li Chengming and Nelson can replace him in the offensive role, but no one can completely replace him in defense.

Especially for the restrictions on James, the rest of the Magic team is not big enough, Lewis is not strong enough, and Li Chengming is almost too fast.

In addition, Howard was targeted by the referee for two consecutive games, and he would be replaced within a few minutes on the court.

结果这场没了束缚的詹姆斯果然打出了四场以来最好的个人表现，出手20中8，三分5中2，罚球9中6，砍下24分6篮板13助攻，仅有4次失误。

Defensive data, 3 steals and 3 blocks, is another day that fills up the data list, and the comprehensive attributes are fully displayed.

Of course, if you don’t win the game with similar statistics in the last game, especially if you make a key ball error, that’s hip pulling; if you win this time, it’s still not satisfactory, especially compared to his performance in the regular season or even the first round. Than, there will still be people who praise him.

In fact, the overall performance of the teammates in this game was even better. Although West "revealed his original shape" and Wallace's offense returned to a barren state, the Cavaliers' bench opened up this time.

And it was Mike Brown who took the lead in taking James down, and then came up to bring a substitute, and during the period of "staggered travel", it worked out.

Because the Magic put Li Chengming in the starting lineup, the rotation link was naturally weak, and they couldn't prevent James' breakthrough, and the offense still couldn't play, which made the Cavaliers play a fast break.

This is so rare. You must know that when the Cavaliers faced the Wizards in the first round, they got a lot of fast break opportunities, but there were very few opportunities in the first three games against the Magic.

James' advantage of switching offenses could not be brought into play, and it was like breaking half of his arm.

The game finally regained its feeling, and even found teammates in the bottom corner for several rounds in a row, and three three-pointers directly opened the score.

In this way, the Magic fell into a passive state of substituting for digging holes and filling in for the main force. In the first half, they fell behind by six points at 47:53 and entered the intermission.

In the second half, Van Gundy tried to make adjustments. Although they lost this game and returned to the home court, they still have a high probability of winning, and they can go back to sell tickets.

And being promoted at home is an invisible benefit for Orlando fans, but what Van Gundy is most afraid of is long nights and dreams.

Wasn't the Heat's Eastern Conference finals back then because Wade and O'Neal suffered from injuries successively and were finally overturned?

But now Turkoglu has a physical problem. If the series continues to drag on, it is not known who will follow in his footsteps.

Van Gundy is particularly worried about Li Chengming's state. After all, he is still a rookie. He has to play so many games in the first year, and his fatigue will become more obvious as he goes on.

But I didn't expect the Cavaliers to resort to cutting Huo tactics first in the third quarter to expand their lead; after Howard went off the field, James continued to attack the Magic's inside line. As a result, there were only two fouls in the first half Li Chengming made two consecutive fouls within 1 minute and was also in foul trouble.

This time the Magic were in a real embarrassment. After taking down Li Chengming, the Magic relied on Lewis and Nelson to barely support the situation. Unfortunately, Lewis' outside touch was mediocre today, and Nelson was also defended very badly by West.

After three quarters, the Magic were still behind by double digits.

They tried to make a final effort in the fourth quarter, but at this time the referee came out to grab the show. First, Li Chengming made five fouls, then Howard was double-teamed and made a mistake. Gibson converted and scored 2+1. Lewis' shot was fouled and was not called. After Z received the rebound, he launched a fast break and directly passed James for a dunk, another questionable 2+1.

James returned the free throw, Van Gundy complained about being blown T again, and made another free throw, so the magic was over. They were still behind by 15 points in the last minute and a half. Van Gundy chose to replace all the main players, which was equivalent to letting go of the game.

35 seconds 13 minutes, 8 seconds 8 minutes, they are all rare, not to mention they are not behind so many points in such a short time, and they are behind by double digits in the last 2 minutes, basically there is no suspense, and there is no need to try anything.

Van Gundy is even more in order to protect the main force, this game can be abandoned, as long as the players are not injured.
