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

Chapter 296 Hollowed out?

Van Gundy was actually a bit worried about this, so he paid special attention to Li Chengming's side during training.

Originally, he was most at ease with Li Chengming, but after seeing the news of Li Chengming and Amy's "sister-brother relationship", he frequently looked at him.

However, Li Chengming didn't feel very good during training today, and he seemed a little casual. He looked like the kind who had been sucked dry by a woman and couldn't cheer up.

It's actually because he's more relaxed, even playing.

But at this time, the coach was preconceived, so naturally he saw the other side.

But now Li Chengming, although he has not finished his rookie period, is still under this contract, but his status in the Magic team is no longer the same. Even if the head coach wants to talk to him about some issues, he has to think more about it. one time.

So Van Gundy didn't reprimand directly in front of everyone, but called him aside alone afterwards.

He didn't hide it, did something like a riddler, and asked directly: "Li, you are not really like what they said, you were hollowed out by a woman, why do you look so empty today?" ?”

This remark was a little joking. In his opinion, it would be best to make Li Chengming realize the problem himself.

He believes that Li Chengming's efforts after such a season are not faked. It is acceptable for young people to be confused for a while and not think clearly, as long as they can find themselves later.

Li Chengming was stunned for a moment. To be honest, he was still not used to discussing his private life with his colleagues.

If Howard, Augustin, Gortat, Redick, etc. will also be in contact in private, and they can be said to be friends, then for the coach Van Gundy, they are pure colleagues, and they are treated as superiors.

It's okay to joke occasionally, as it involves too personal issues, he will not ask the other party and he is not used to the other party interfering with him.

However, he also understands why the coach would ask such a question. Although he is helpless, he still needs to explain it carefully, "Sir, if you are talking about my bad performance in training before, then it has nothing to do with my...well, my relationship. It's just that my own attitude is a little more casual, and I won't do it again in the future."

He said that, but Van Gundy might not believe it, he only said that when young people wanted to save face.

But his own meaning has been conveyed in place, and talking too much may really cause the other party's rebellion, so he smiled, helped his respect and left after a few more words.

Li Chengming scratched his head, knowing that the coach still has concerns, but it doesn't matter, as long as he performs well in the game, he will be fine.

But Li Chengming would not have thought that some things just happen by chance.

If he treats it casually in training, his performance seems to be acceptable in general, but in the game, this reason is obviously not feasible.

"Li Chengming's state is a little bit wrong today..."

In the evening in Boston, amidst the cheers and cheers of fans in TD North Shore Garden, the third game of the Eastern Conference Finals was ushered in. The Magic challenged the Celtics away.

This game is crucial. If the Celtics lose again, the 3-0 leading Magic will definitely not let the victory slip away from their hands, and no one thinks that the Celtics can win another four games in a row.

But if they win this game, then the Green Army has a high probability of winning the next game in a row. In this way, their home court is defended, and the suspense of the series is very likely to finally enter the stage of the tiebreaker.

At that time, it will be difficult to say what home and away advantages will be. It all depends on who is more stable on both sides.

The Magic didn't make it to Game [-] before, but in other words, they haven't gone through the tie-break test yet.

Especially the psychological impact of taking the lead and being overturned consecutively has a great impact on young players. It is hard to say whether they can adjust in time, and a bad one may cause a catastrophe.

Of course, CCTV also broadcast the game. Zhang and Sun, together with Da Zhi who was specially invited during the offseason, jointly commented on the game.

At 10 minutes and 23 seconds into the first quarter, the Magic called a timeout. Li Chengming missed all three shots and made two turnovers within a few minutes of playing. Highlights scenes.

The five rounds of offense failed, allowing the Magic to have a small lead, but the situation was suddenly reversed, allowing the Greens not only to overtake the score, but also to show momentum.

Seeing that the situation was not right, Van Gundy called a timeout in time to suppress it.

Garnett has been particularly active these few minutes, returning to the home court as if some BUFF had been added to him, screaming and fighting like a wolf, Lewis was directly fouled twice by him and left the field early.

Although the hand feeling is not good, he only made 6 of 2 shots so far, but he played really hard and really hard, which aroused the excitement of Boston's home fans. They felt that under such momentum, they would definitely win this game.

In fact, the biggest change for the Green Army this time is the movement of the ball. Among the five starters, except for Perkins, all pass the ball, and they can pass it. This is very important.

In fact, apart from Rondo himself who is a point guard, Garnett, Pierce and Allen were all stars of their respective teams. Now Ray Allen, who runs more without the ball, used to partner with Lewis in the Supersonic The musket is also a lot of attacking with the ball.

On the contrary, it felt that the team had suppressed their offensive talent before, so it seemed that they did not have the desired effect.

The other is the issue of the distribution of ball rights. If it weren't for the difficult situation now, it would be difficult for everyone to reach such a consensus and tacit understanding.

However, although the Celtics played very proactively, Garnett and Allen's touch is relatively average, otherwise it is estimated that they will have a double-digit lead now.

In contrast, of course, Li Chengming's problems here are more serious. After all, the Magic team mainly focuses on him. If he doesn't play well, it will also cause a chain reaction on the team.

This kind of performance made the three commentators who had always placed high hopes on him and praised him before the game feel a little slapped in the face. Sun Zhengpin asked Director Zhang: "Mr. Defense, has there been any changes, so it makes him look more uncomfortable..."

Director Zhang is definitely professional in respect of respect, and he had to explain for a long time. The conclusion is that the Green Army has stepped up targeting Li Chengming, and the Magic also needs someone to stand up at this time and help Li Chengming share the burden. pressure.

Dazhi next to him was dumbfounded, thinking he could still say that?

He sort of understands why Dayao is working so hard in the NBA, and there are still so many sunspots in the country...

In fact, anyone with a discerning eye who understands penalty kicks can see that instead of stepping up their defense against Li Chengming today, the Celtics seemed a little more relaxed today compared to the previous two games where they had to double-team every time they got the ball.

On the contrary, Li Chengming himself seems to have a problem. I don't know if it's the hand feeling or the physical reason. It feels like he can't find his focus.

Although it can still be seen that the ballistic trajectory is actually quite positive, it is thrown out with either too much strength or too little strength, and in the end it can only be hit by iron and mistakes.

During the timeout, Van Gundy naturally pointed out Li Chengming's problem.

It's okay not to say anything at this time, but it's not the time to take care of the players' face.

Li Chengming noticed that his teammates looked at him inexplicably, and he couldn't laugh or cry in his heart, knowing that they had misunderstood.

But how can he explain it now?
It's true that I didn't play very well on the court just now, and there's nothing to blame for it. Only a real performance can prove that he wasn't affected.

But Li Chengming himself didn't know what his situation was now, he gritted his teeth and decided to forget everything before, otherwise his emotions would be affected, and his state would also be affected. It's not just a matter of feel.
