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

Chapter 298 Wang teammate

At the end of the first quarter, Li Chengming made only one of seven shots.

Although the last shot looked unbelievable, and the commentators were also praising "Amazing", but it was just a successful attack and only scored two points. Top 10 points.

And like this kind of ball, let alone the All-Star players, even if the drinking fountain has been on the court for a long time and takes too many shots, they may be able to score one or two, so everyone just thinks there is more luck.

Even without mentioning this, some things are engraved in the muscle memory of the skills that professional players have honed over time.

So sometimes it seems that some balls can be scored more because they are more difficult. In fact, it is also because they have practiced in normal times, and then they just trigger that state, but in normal state, it feels different again.

Moreover, is it really expected that Li Chengming can't make a single shot in a game?

This may be more difficult than investing in it all. He may be in a bad state and feel bad for a while, and it doesn't mean that this person is useless or completely incapacitated.

Of course, in the CCTV live broadcast room, Director Zhang was catching the ball at this moment and kept blowing, "This is Li Chengming's personal ability. Even if you have already defended in place, he can still score. It seems unreasonable, but it is If you can score, this is a good goal..."

"At the end of the first quarter, although Li Chengming did not perform well, the Magic are not far behind." Director Sun said with a smile: "This is Boston's home court after all, and it is expected that the Magic will play hard. But There are still three quarters of the game, and there is no time to adjust. How do you two think the Magic will deal with it in the second quarter?"

Dazhi said: "In the rotation stage, especially in the lineup at the beginning of the second quarter, the Magic should make some adjustments. Lewis will definitely get it back. I don't know if Li Chengming will stay on the court. Firstly, He is not in a good state today, and secondly, he played for a long time in the first quarter..."

In the first quarter, because of Lewis' foul problem, Van Gundy actually broke the regular rotation and replaced Li Chengming in advance.

So usually let him play at the beginning of the second quarter, but this may not be the case.

What's more, as Da Zhi said, Li Chengming's performance on the spot today is not very good, and the Magic is also lagging behind, so we can't just expect him to bottom out and rebound in this situation.

What if you touch the bottom?

Even if he is looking for status, he has to wait for the Magic to stabilize the situation and even gain an advantage, allowing him to spend a little bit.

Sure enough, after the start of the second quarter, the Magic was temporarily led by Lewis and Howard, with three shooters on the outside, Redick, Dooling and Bogans, plus Lewis actually made four.

Authentic "one star four shots"!
In fact, in the first game of the Eastern Conference Finals, Redick also got a few minutes to play, and his performance was not satisfactory.

His shooting ability can definitely help the team. His problem is that his defense is too poor. Compared with Li Chengming, he can rely on his size to press, and the defense near the penalty area is not bad. As an outside line, his speed is not slow. It can keep up with people, but the confrontation is too weak. When others break through, if they squeeze him a little, they may lose them.

Moreover, the awareness and experience of defense are also slightly insufficient, and it is easy to cheat and foul by fake moves.

Fortunately, after all, it has been tempered by college basketball, and there is no problem in terms of tactical understanding. In the rotation stage, it lasts for 2 minutes.

Even if the touch comes, he can score three points in a row, which will have a more positive effect on the team.

Of course, at this time the Magic must focus on Howard's inside offensive.

Although after the last game, Van Gundy knew that he could not rely entirely on Howard's inside singles to open the situation. The Green Army is very experienced in defense in this area, even the substitutes PJ Brown and Glenn Davis. He has certain limitations.

In fact, it is to jam his lower body, take advantage of his slightly weak lower body strength, and limit his ability to move.

The shooting ability is about equal to that of a monster without it. Once it can't move, there is basically no offensive threat.

Of course, this does not guarantee that it will work every time, and as long as Howard himself does not have a headache, he can still use his physical advantage to bully the opponent.

For example, in the face of Perkins and Davis, the two big fat guys turned around and reacted slowly. Even if he is not very good at fake moves, but relying on his own speed and flexibility, he can still turn around quickly and make them unable to react. , There is absolutely no need to fight hard with them.

As for Garnett, Brown, and even the smaller Posey, Pierce and others, he can still crush them twice.

They will choose a more flexible defensive method, but if Howard's offense is determined enough, at least one kill can be caused.

Although with his free throw ability, this is sometimes what the opponent wants to see, but if the main players suffer too many fouls, it is not worth being happy, maybe they are more at a loss.

Seeing that Howard led the team to tie the score, especially when Lewis and Redick both made three-pointers, it seemed that the Magic's Wuxian was about to shoot away, and the Greens quickly called a timeout.

Director Zhang immediately laughed and said, "If Li Chengming doesn't play well, the rest of the Magic must stand up. They actually have that ability. The Magic can surpass the Greens and become the league in the regular season." First, where are the players' personal abilities?

"Howard has defended one game at a time this season. If opponents only regard him as a defensive blue-collar, they will pay a very painful price..."

Uh, even though Li Chengming was going to be involved every now and then to recruit him, but this time he was right.

In the past, because of Dayao's relationship, Howard's evaluation in China has never been very high.

It is also because everyone sees that he is always deflated when facing Dayao, and thinks that he is nothing more than that. They think that he was recognized by the US media as the number one center forward in active service because Dayao was excluded as a foreigner.

But just like McGrady was looked up upon by domestic critics and fans after being on the same team with Dayao, after being on the same team with Li Chengming, Howard's evaluation also skyrocketed.

Especially when everyone knows that Li Chengming and Howard have a good relationship in private, and Howard has always been the big brother to protect the rookie Li Chengming at the beginning. Many fans also have a good impression of Howard.

Whether it is the Magic team or the Warcraft player, the popularity in China has risen rapidly in the past half a year. As far as Li Chengming himself knows, many domestic brands have come to find Howard to sign, and this guy Anyone who comes is not rejected, just give money.

The center does not sell shoes, and many advertisements are too high to be suitable for it, so Howard's off-court commercial value has always been out of proportion to his popularity and popularity.

But now with the Huaguo market, this situation is about to change.

The same is true for the Magic, and even some other Magic players, such as Nelson, who have little off-court commercial value, have been targeted by some domestic businesses.

This may also be an important reason why everyone has a good relationship with Li Chengming. After all, to some extent, the income from these unexpected joys can be regarded as brought to them by him.

In the past, it was a benefit that only people in Houston could enjoy, but now Orlando also has it, because Li Chengming, like Dayao, can "prosper his teammates."

As for Milwaukee, because Space Yi was completely suppressed by Li Chengming, although it relieved him a lot of pressure, it also reduced the attention here.

It is estimated that the general manager of the Bucks is regretting choosing the wrong person...
