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

Chapter 280 Protection
In the second quarter, many people were surprised that Van Gundy still left Chengming Li on the court.

But at this time, it is paired with Lewis and Gortat. If it is not for Li Chengming's height, this can be regarded as a "three high" lineup.

This actually depends on Lewis' style of play, because both his and Li Chengming's shooting range can be extended beyond the three-point line, and the two can complete the offensive end at any time.

Of course, it is usually Lewis who opens up the space outside, and Li Chengming breaks through with the ball.

At the end of the regular season, "thanks" to Turkoglu's injury truce, Li Chengming got a lot of opportunities to exercise with the ball, and his progress and growth were so rapid that the coaching staff was pleasantly surprised.

Although Li Chengming still exchanged some skills, such as "fancy ball control" (5 points), "butterfly piercing flower steps" (5 points), etc., coupled with some skills he had before, his singles with the ball , The ability to break through the frame is greatly enhanced.

His own personal efforts cannot be ignored, let alone the system skills, which are just a single skill after all. Objectively speaking, they are a bit rigid, but it is impossible for you to make slow movements frame by frame when playing, and connect them one by one. Failure to do so may turn into a mistake.

And there is also awareness, which is relatively lacking in the system mall, which can enhance the awareness of prevention and vision, but the situation judgment and temporary decision-making in the game still needs Li Chengming to do it himself.

The most important thing is that if you want to become a comprehensive golfer who can even control the overall situation and have the ability to change the game, you can't just do your job well.

Give everything to your teammates, so what else do you need?
These not only require hard work on your own, but also need to continuously accumulate game experience. At the same time, you must be able to transform these experiences into a part of yourself, and be able to consciously and timely make response judgments on the spot.

Now Li Chengming is still a little green in launching an attack from the outside, and there are still restrictions on his size and weight, but his overall offensive ability is good enough to support him to change his style of play at any time in the face of any situation. Passive defenders are often defenseless.

Just like after the start of the second quarter, Li Chengming broke through with the ball twice in a row to attract the defense. He scored the ball to Lewis, once assisted him to hit a three-pointer, and once he passed it out. In the end, Du Lin found Gortat under the basket. There are also layups.

Because of the change in style of play, the Magic unknowingly sped up a bit, and for the Celtics, it may also be a little uncomfortable.

In terms of offense, the Celtics are still self-sufficient in their rhythm and success rate. Another advantage of Garnett on the offensive end is reflected, because the range can reach to the free throw line. After pulling the ball to a high position, a seven-footer As a support point, the defender can shoot directly if he doesn't mention it, and there may be an open space if he mentions the inside line. Garnett's ability to dominate the ball determines his good chance to find his teammates as soon as possible.

During those years in the Timberwolves, Garnett played like this.

In the first 3 minutes, the two teams basically played their own way. From the view of the audience, they just felt that the two sides on the field were fast and slow at times, but no one could guard the other. It seemed a bit honest and honest.

But if things go on like this, the Magic will be more comfortable, because after they invested too much defensive resources in Li Chengming, there are a lot of outside opportunities. Today, Lewis and the others also feel pretty good, currently maintaining 45% The three-point shooting percentage has hit 9 three-pointers.

After Dooling scored a layup off a screen to give the Magic a six-point lead, Rivers called another timeout.

There are no major problems in offense and defense, but they just can't even out the difference. It can only be said that they have not done their best in both.

The state of the Green Army today, compared to the previous two rounds of extreme performances at home and away, can be said to be much better.

But all the members of the magic team on the opposite side are not giving up much, which makes them sit still.

After the timeout, the Celtics also changed their personnel. Both Perkins and Pierce were replaced on the court first, and the offense and defense were also adjusted.

On the side of the Magic, Li Chengming still stayed on the court, but Howard was brought up, and Nelson also returned to the court. Turkoglu continued to rest off the court, obviously hoping to take the opportunity to expand his advantage.

With this lineup, they can play faster. Howard's running and jumping advantages can be maximized in chaotic battles, allowing him to attack the opposite penalty area like a striker.

"nice shot!"

Xu Jicheng suddenly yelled, but it was the next round after he came back. When the Magic team was attacking, Li Chengming tricked Pierce with a false move on the field, then turned around and took a big step directly to the basket with an extreme backward move. The throw shot scored, and it also caused Garnett's thug foul.

Garnett's wingspan advantage has become a disadvantage at this time.

Of course, Li Chengming's goal is also very difficult. In most cases, it can cause fouls but it is difficult to score.

"This ball is definitely a five-best ball!"

Facing a first-defense player like Garnett, even if it weren't for the Magic's record this year, which gave Howard a lot of extra points, Garnett should be able to win the DPOY award this year.

Li Chengming also has additional penalties, which is exactly the purpose of Van Gundy to keep him on the court, and the effect is obviously very good.

The Green Army will continue to linger in the dilemma of whether to double-team Li Chengming, and Li Chengming can take advantage of this. As long as he sees that the defense on the opposite side hesitates and fails to form a double-team immediately, he will directly superior.

He hasn't taken many shots so far, but he's only missed one and missed a free throw.

And the opponent was scared and defended a little tighter, and he would immediately hand the ball to his teammates in time.

After practicing for more than half a season, the Magic already know how to make full use of Li Chengming's ability to attract double-teams in the low post, and everyone else will try their best to seize the opportunity that may be fleeting.

No matter how good the defense of the Green Army is, once they attack, there will inevitably be gaps.

However, the Green Army suddenly began to play pick-and-rolls at positions [-] and [-] on the flanks. Kassel came to face Li Chengming and used his own experience to try to beat him alone. The purpose is actually very clear. The most important thing is to be able to cause Li Chengming's foul and beat him down directly, which is the most significant achievement.

Although "Alien" Kassel looks weird, his strength is not bad. Now because he is getting old, he can't play like before, but he still has a lot of consciousness, experience and skills, so he can At this time, he was entrusted with an important task by the coaching staff.

Of course, Li Chengming also expected it, or the coaching staff had already prepared for it.

Sometimes the opponent's core foul is not only for fouling, but more importantly, it is of strategic significance, that is, to knock the opponent's core off the court and weaken the opponent's strength on the court.

It is also based on this that Van Gundy will send Howard up. When necessary, Li Chengming can let go and let Howard face Kassel.

Although the defensive pressure is poured on the side of Warcraft, this is what he did. Unless he also fell into a foul crisis, otherwise he should have been the last barrier inside the Magic.

If Cassell was younger, it might have some impact on Howard, but not now.

And Li Chengming didn't let him go directly in a daze, but consciously forced him to Howard's side, and finally found a nearby point where Cassel might shoot the ball, and immediately went to block the position, which can not only block the pass, Can also take advantage of the situation to grab rebounds.

Cassel only made one successful foul by Li Chengming, and all subsequent tactical intentions failed, that is, throwing it out and allowing Pierce to throw a three-pointer. Otherwise, this wave may allow the Magic to widen the point difference. double digits.
