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

Chapter 292 Live Teaching
Van Gundy's original idea was to let Howard play the role of Lee Cheng-ming, to attract the defense to score the ball, or to run directly into the basket. Garnett has a gap in weight and strength, and he must not be right for him.

In this way, when Li Chengming is not around, he can continue to maintain a low threat in order to affect the defense of the Celtics and force them to shrink to the basket.

The Raptors almost completed the dark horse counterattack, didn't they rely on three-pointers to explode?
For the Magic, this should be a routine operation, but it has more inside advantages than the Raptors, making their offense more stable.

So the Raptors can only be dark horses, and they are the constant strong.

But the problem is that Warcraft's singles are so three-handed, relying on a turn to kill the basket, or a small hook change, the technical aspect is really too rough.

You said that letting him play like this will definitely succeed a few times, but Garnett has all kinds of small moves when defending, and he is very experienced in blocking positions, and he can even predict Howard's action steps in advance.

A reckless guy like Howard, who didn't even have any fake moves, was spotted by Garnett just as he was about to turn around, and then he raised his elbow and swept over. Garnett hit his face and then lay down on the ground, attacking directly. Foul.

Van Gundy watched and patted his head from the sidelines, also a little speechless.

It can only be said that while he overestimated Howard, he also underestimated Garnett on the opposite side.

Although Garnett was easily beaten by Li Chengming, it was not that he was not good at defense, but that he really couldn't defend Li Chengming's type, just like Howard couldn't defend Dayao, although there were not many people who could defend alone. Can guard against them.

But this does not affect the defensive ability of the two of them, because what they are best at is actually assisting defense and supplementary defense. It is the defensive area brought about by athletic talent and mobility, and they can build a defensive system around them.

And players like Li Chengming and Dayao can only think of ways to keep them from getting the ball, or pinch them to force them out, and let them go to the low post and inside to get the ball one-on-one, really can only pray They were in a bad state at the time.

Fortunately, he was able to correct his mistake in time. Although Howard was full of depression, he had already recognized the reality in his heart. After all, he had been beaten by Li Chengming a lot in team training, and he had long realized the difference in personal offense between the two sides. There is a gap.

If not, how could Howard be willing to let Li Chengming lead the offense and cooperate with him as a blue-collar?
As the head of the family, you must have a heart, but it also depends on where you put it.

In order to win at this time, Howard will not play any petty temper, obey the coach's command, and then honestly cooperate with the pick-and-roll.

In contrast, the change of going down after the pick-and-roll is more suitable for him, allowing him to have space to rush up, so Garnett has no choice but to send him to the free throw line.

Just after 4 minutes and 32 seconds of the third quarter, Rondo's pass was intercepted by Evans and out of bounds. Both sides chose to substitute during the dead ball stage.

Van Gundy actually chose to bring Li Chengming to the court ahead of time at this time, and this time he replaced Lewis, who was going to play a dual-core inside.

After Li Chengming came up, the offense became better. Whether he was facing Garnett or Perkins, he could go directly, while Howard kept running aside, or mentioned the line to cover his teammates, or along the baseline. Come over to receive the pass, there is no chance to pass it out, and there is a chance to directly attack the frame by yourself.

Coupled with the pull of the three shooting points outside, the Green Army's defense had to expand a little at this time, giving Li Chengming enough room to attack.

Because of the distance, he didn't dare to double-team at will, so it was cool for Li Chengming to fight face-to-face.

When he attacked with completely different methods three times in a row, he turned over a jumper, turned a small top into the field to catch a small throw, and hooked a sideways turn. He also caused a foul and penalty for Perkins. At 7 minutes, the magic fans were so excited that the atmosphere exploded directly.

The commentator MAX also smiled with a little excitement: "LI's three attacks seem to be teaching Dwight on the spot, but it seems that Dwight is more excited than himself."

"LI is the new favorite of the city. Although his style of play is not as violent as that of Warcraft, he puts the game in its own rhythm through his skillful and multi-faceted offensive skills, which is equally pleasing to the fans in the eyes of the fans."

"I think this is a huge blow to the Bostonians. LI is destroying their confidence and will determine the trend of this game!"

At the same time, fans from various countries who watched the game in real time were also very excited. Although basketball is a team sport, who can resist individual heroism?
Looking at those players who are very popular, there is no one who has super personal ability and is extremely destructive on the offensive end.

For example, Jordan, Iverson, O'Neal, Kobe, McGrady...

And many players have their own signature skills, such as Iverson's crossover, Jordan and Kobe's fadeaway jumper, McGrady's dry pull, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's sky hook, Olajuwon's big dream footsteps...

The players who emerged after the new millennium gradually lost a lot in terms of personal signature ability. It is okay to say outside, at least there are Arenas, Wade and others, but inside, it can be said that they have withered.

This is also the reason why some fans don't recognize Li Chengming's strength. First, there is Howard in the Magic insider. If there is no Warcraft, let him be alone. He can't shoulder the offense and defense like other insiders in the past; At present, the overall hardness of the inside line in the league is incomparable with before.

Although there are still players such as Garnett, Duncan, and Nowitzki, strictly speaking, they all belong to the previous generation of players, and they basically have to give way after playing for a few years, and there are really few insiders in the new generation. .

Of course, there are also reasons for this era and the fact that the league encourages outside attacks, but apart from Dayao, there are indeed not many traditional insiders with sufficient technical skills.

Li Chengming is actually not counted, because his style of play is difficult to judge him by tradition. His range can extend beyond the three-point line, and he has certain organizational attributes. In addition, his lack of height makes him unstoppable in singles. But still limited.

At least when a teammate misfires, the opponent can double-team with more confidence, and his efficiency will inevitably drop.

Of course, he is not going to face such a situation now. The Green Army has poured enough defensive resources into him. If the Magic can't grasp it, then they are too sorry for their salary that is so much higher than Li Chengming.

Evans shot well here, with two consecutive three-pointers and a mid-range shot, both of which were left open by two steps, and it is of course a skill to be able to grasp it.

In particular, although the defensive formation of the Green Army has been stretched and shrunk sharply, the strength of their flank rotation is actually maintained. The opportunity to make a shot is only a matter of two or three seconds. To be decisive, you must also have confidence, and the most important thing is to be able to invest.

This hurt the morale of the Celtics again and again. When Howard, Turkoglu and others went off one after another, Lewis came back, and when Li Chengming moved to the third position, the Magic became a triangle offense again.

In addition to weakening the strength of the defense and giving the opponent a lot of opportunities, the firepower can still be maintained offensively, and it is also ensured that the opponent will not easily crush the score.

Li Chengming also played the rest of the third quarter. When the Magic team failed to attack from outside and was about to be counterattacked by the opponent, he simply took over the banner of offense by himself, and gained by moving without the ball. Once at the basket, he shot a cold arrow from outside the three-point line, scored 5 points in a row, and stabilized the situation.

At the end of the final three quarters, the Magic still had an 87-point lead at 79:8 and entered the final quarter.
