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

Chapter 282 Determination
"It's a little surprising. Li Chengming and Howard are both off the court now. The Magic actually withstood the pressure during this period. The Green Army failed to seize the opportunity, and the score was opened again by them."

Ma Jian sighed: "The Magic's lineup may not necessarily be stronger than the Celtics, but it is indeed more reasonable than them. At least in terms of offense, they play more team and more reasonable."

With the last minute and a half left in the half, Rivers called a timeout again, and his expression looked a little uncomfortable.

After all, he has been pressed and beaten all the time on the court, even if he is actually prepared in his heart, it will be a different feeling to face it in real life.

It should be said that facing the Magic in the playoffs must be the last result Bostonians want to see. Even the most loyal fans of the Celtics felt a little difficult when the results of the Eastern Conference Finals came out.

The current situation only confirms this result.

Moreover, it seems to be more difficult than they imagined.

When they came back, both sides replaced all the main players, but the Green Army temporarily replaced Perkins, and turned into a lineup of one big and four small, and replaced it with Posey, who is more mobile.

This is obviously to make up for the football team's lack of outside shooting, and it is also hoped that the effect will be achieved in a short period of time, and it is best to be able to close the score.

But in this way, the team's inside defense has problems again.

I couldn't prevent it in the first place, and I couldn't prevent it now.

In the final time, the two teams lost one by one, and they were actually targeting the opponent's weak points in defense.

The Celtics began to look for outside shooting opportunities. Ray Allen and Posey hit three-pointers one after another, but the Magic kept hitting the basket. Although the shooting rate was higher, the scoring efficiency could only be said to be comparable.

In this way, the 7-point gap was maintained until the end of the half. When the referee blew his whistle, he said: "The halftime is over. At 43:50, neither team scored more than 30 points in a single quarter. For the team, it is a relatively rare situation, and it also shows that the defense of the Green Army is indeed very good, but the offense is much worse in comparison, which is their biggest problem now.

"However, before the end of the game, Li Chengming was fouled once by Pierce, and he has been fouled three times so far. I think this is a hidden danger for the Magic team?"

Ma Jiandao: "It depends on how the two teams will respond in the second half. In fact, the Green Army tried to beat Li Chengming several times in the second quarter, but we saw that they basically failed. Obviously, the Magic side People also have to deal with it.

"And it's not only the Celtics who are doing work, the Magic are also targeting. Garnett also has three fouls. If the exchange is carried out according to this method, then I think the Magic will still make money."

Many people think that the law of the Green Army's home game dragon and away game has something to do with the penalties of home and away games. The home game is relatively relaxed, and they are more daring to make moves here, and the defense is easy to tighten up.

But in the away game, whistleblowing may not be good for them. Their defense is discouraged, and if their offense is not on par, they will naturally get into trouble.

However, the offensive guarantee of the Green Army is still there, like Pierce and Ray Allen, you dare not let it go, and you can't say when it will start.

The difference with the Magic is that whether it is the regular season or the playoffs, the Celtics have many times to grind to the final decisive game, which has something to do with their star ability, big heart and seasoned experience at critical moments .

In this regard, it is obvious that the Magic are still inferior to them, so a mere seven-point lead is definitely not their psychological expectation.

During the halftime break, when returning to the locker room, Howard suddenly came over and grabbed Li Chengming's shoulders, and said with a lewd smile: "Why didn't your female star come to watch the game today?"

The news of Li Chengming and Amy's date naturally broke out. This time, Li Chengming really got the favor of the woman.

Although Amy Adams can only be regarded as a second-tier star in Hollywood at present, the influence of Hollywood is not comparable to that of the NBA.

Even Li Chengming made the headlines of a weekly gossip magazine, mainly because the news that Amy broke up with her ex-boyfriend has not been out for a long time.

Although this is very common in Europe and the United States, every time something happens, there will be news. Sometimes celebrities will even deliberately find an opportunity to leak their relationship to increase the chance of exposure. After all, this represents money.

Of course, as a star in the two fields, this wave also gave Amy a deeper impression among basketball fans, and it was not all good for her.

However, in the face of reporters' interviews, both parties only said that they were good friends.

In fact, they are indeed just friends now. For the time being, Li Chengming's mind is still on the playoffs, and he doesn't want to develop further with each other.

Unless the opponent takes the initiative first...

Glaring at the monster who smiled maliciously, Li Chengming didn't even bother to explain to him, anyway, he probably wouldn't believe him if he said it.

It should be said that no one in the team believes it. How old are you, and you still have a pure friendship between men and women, and lie to children?

At this time, the atmosphere in the locker room of the home team seemed relatively relaxed. After all, they played well in this half. Although they didn't lead much, they still had the advantage. As long as they continued to play like this, there should be no problem in this game.

Because of the previous two rounds of competition, the Celtics didn't have many cards to play, especially in the interior defense. They almost didn't even stand up to Bosh, let alone the Magic's interior combination.

And as long as they can't think of a way to target, this is the home court of the Magic, and there are key players like Li Chengming and Turkoglu, the Magic still have more confidence.

However, Van Gundy, as the head coach, naturally needs to pour some cold water on the disciples to cool down, "Guys, before the end of the game, I hope you don't relax too much.

"At the beginning of this season, no one could have imagined that we could get to this point, but now that we have come here, I don't think you want to stop here, do you?"

The players looked at each other without speaking, but their expressions were slowly changing.

In fact, some players in the Magic team really think that it is good to reach this stage. Although they have thought about the finals and championships in the future, they don't have such a strong idea.

The most eager for the honor of the championship is the main core, because this is a very important part of their honor bonus and future contracts.

Especially the likes of Howard, Turkoglu, and Li Chengming have each won good personal honors this season. If they win the championship again, it will really be a successful season for them.

And for Van Gundy himself, even more so.

He was suffocating in his heart, and wanted to prove himself to the Heat and Riley.

"At this point, we can only keep moving forward and there is no way out. If you can't keep up, I can give you a holiday in advance!"

The ruthless words made the locker room eerily quiet.

Although Li Chengming and the others didn't have to worry about sitting on the bench, they were shocked by the coach's determination.

Not to mention other players, such as Gortat, Redick, and Augustine, in addition to worrying, they were also a little excited.

If you can really win the championship...

After finishing the ugly words, Van Gundy changed his tone and began to talk about the arrangement for the second half.

He didn't intend to take the initiative to change, but he also thought about how the opponent would target him. Howard's free throw and Li Chengming's foul problem would definitely become the two key points that were caught by the opponent in the second half.

On their side, it is best to strike first.
