Chapter 299

Li Chengming didn't go into battle until the last four minutes of the second quarter, when the Magic fell behind by 7 points.

At the beginning of the second quarter, Howard and Lewis led the team to close the point difference, but the Celtics made adjustments after a timeout. They did not double-team blindly on the defensive end, mainly to cut off Howard's connection with the outside.

At this stage, the Magic’s lineup on the field does not have organizers like Li Chengming and Turkoglu, and Nelson is not on the court. The offensive routine is relatively monotonous. In fact, as long as the defensive end focuses and keeps an eye on the outsiders, it will be fine. them.

In terms of offense, after bringing Garnett back, the Green Army played a high pick-and-roll, around Garnett as an axis, and increased the ratio of screen cuts and bottom cuts. The "empty goal tactic" of taking the blind spot behind the defender's vision.

The key to this tactic is not the player who cuts in, but the player who acts as the tactical axis to control the ball, because the point is to be able to find the opponent and pass the ball after the teammates have a chance.

It is also out of the trust of the Green Army coaching staff in Garnett that actually allowing him to play in this way can exert greater tactical value and can also cause greater pressure on the Magic's defense.

The Magic can't easily give him space, otherwise he can shoot directly, or he can choose to break through and hit the basket by himself.

In fact, it is similar to the tactics played by the Magic, that is, let people who can shoot and attack come out as support positions, and everyone else is the end point.

After doing this, one ebbs and another, and the Magic fell into a disadvantage again.

After the two sides gradually switched back to the starting lineup, Pierce suddenly broke out. Taking advantage of the Magic's defensive line, he shot a cold arrow with a three-pointer from the outside line, and suddenly accelerated to break through the basket and caused a foul by Lewis, who was assisting the defense. The score was 2+1. Personally scored 6 points in a row to widen the gap again.

Turkoglu also stood up for the Magic, but then both Howard and Lewis who fouled three times were replaced, and Van Gundy, who had been suppressing his temper for a minute and a half, took Li Chengming back.

Immediately after Li Chengming came on the court, he was greeted by boos from the North Shore Garden. He has always been the least popular player on the Magic side with Boston fans, and it can even be said that he is already one of the most unpopular players with Celtics fans.

Being able to achieve such an "achievement" in his rookie season actually just shows the threat he has in the hearts of opposing fans.

Don't look at them booing vigorously now, if they hear that Li Chengming may join, why don't they greet them immediately?

Of course, he was still an opponent at this time, and there was some sarcasm in the boos, because Li Chengming's performance in the first quarter was poor.

Some fans even stood up and applauded instead of booing, as if they really welcomed Li Chengming's debut.

In fact, this is yin and yang, and the implication is that Li Chengming played to help the home team, so of course they have to welcome it.

However, Li Chengming was expressionless and seemed completely unaffected.

The CCTV live broadcast room still has some doubts about his appearance. After all, the Celtics are now in full swing, and the Magic are in urgent need of chasing points, so there is still some offensive pressure.

Sun Zheng commented: "Li Chengming rested off the court for most of the quarter. I don't know if he can adjust it back, but it seems that Coach Van Gundy still trusts him. The first round of the game is still his main attack..."

It's hard to say what to say if the hand feels cold, after all, in the first quarter, can it be worse if it is cold?

Li Chengming faced Garnett again, and this black baby seemed to have gained confidence in defense, although he knew clearly in his heart that Li Chengming was in an inexplicable state today, and it could not be said that he was so guarded.

But taking advantage of his illness to kill him, does your poor state have any conflict with my confidence?

Afterwards, maybe you can use this to build a little psychological advantage, and then the subsequent games will be easier to play.

He has always used everything to win on the court. This is not only because of his background, but also because he came from the 90s, and he thinks this is the so-called "old-school style".

What I never think about is the opponent's feelings, because I want to send them failure and shadow.

"Hey, the feeling of sitting on the bench just now, is it very comfortable? Do you need me to help you again, the rookie should return to his position, don't try to challenge the old king..."

Li Chengming just sneered at the remarks of the second, and then made a light and natural spin jump. I closed my eyes...turned over and made a jumper, and shot in mid-air. The arc was perfect.

Garnett knew that he was going to make a shot, so he came up to interfere, but because he himself was fouled twice, so he was somewhat restrained at this time, and he seemed to feel in his heart that it was this kind of situation where he would interfere but not interfere. Next, it is the most tormenting.

Because once the opponent fails to score, his confidence will be hit more easily, and it is not even easy to find excuses.

But the ball hit the top of the backboard, and this time it spun into the basket obediently, and the clear sound of brushing the net was heard, and Li Chengming added two more points.

"Good shot! Facing Garnett's defense, Li Chengming made a shot with his vision completely covered, and still hit the board. It seems that Chengming also had some considerations off the court and used a relatively safe method... "

Finding the board and shooting should be something that beginners can do, and it is the easiest.

Of course, if you really want to practice the "big basic skill" Duncan's 45-degree rebound shot, it can be regarded as a small killer move on the court, stable and effective.

Garnett turned his head and glared at Li Chengming, but he didn't take it seriously.

This can only show that the defensive pressure he gave was not enough, so in the next round, when he faced Li Chengming again, Li Chengming still wanted to turn around and shoot a jumper with a light touch, and Garnett went up to cover it.

But to his astonishment, Li Chengming shot the ball at an unbelievable speed, as if he was about to make the shot when he was turning around, and he didn't even look at the basket to aim.

This is not a bad thing for Garnett. After all, it can be regarded as forcing the opponent to change his shooting rhythm. How can the efficiency be so high?

But this time it was another rebound, and the position of the rebound was higher, which didn't look like a normal shooting trajectory at all.

However, the ball spun in again, and then fell into the basket.

brush!
"After Li came up, he made two consecutive fadeaway jumpers against KG. Does this mean that he has returned?"

"Boy, don't even try to hit me on the head again!"

"Oh?" Facing Garnett's cruel words, Li Chengming, who returned to defense, just waved his hand casually: "Ah, I know, I know..."

"This kid..." Garnett gritted his teeth tightly, secretly hating him.

In fact, he also knew in his heart that the reason why Li Chengming had been so easily disturbed by Li Chengming was that in the final analysis it was because he had nothing to do with him.

If he can't defend, if he attacks, he doesn't have much advantage against Li Chengming in a one-on-one match.

Moreover, Li Chengming has always been very self-aware, unless it is absolutely necessary, he will avoid the battle. Now the Magic team is also very good at using delays, switching defenses and other methods to protect him.

If the Green Army is too obsessed with this, it will fall into the trap of the Magic.

Of course, although Li Chengming scored consecutively, the offense of the Green Army is no problem. Pierce didn't take many shots today, but the efficiency is very high, almost every time.

Looking back, Li Chengming asked for singles in the low post for the third time in a row. He looked like he was crazy and wanted to prove himself, which made many Magic fans shake their heads.

However, he hit the ball twice before, so it is impossible not to give it to him this time, not to mention that he is facing Ray Allen this time, an obvious dislocation formed after the screen change.

Of course, the Green Army will not let Allen face him alone. After he catches the ball, he immediately steps up to double-team, forcing him to take the ball and prepares to complete the defense with Allen immediately.

But Garnett was attracted by Turkoglu to the other side. Whether it was Rondo or Pierce double-teaming here, Li Chengming was not afraid at all.

He even turned around suddenly, and still insisted on shooting at the two of them after shaking out of the space.

Not only leaning back, but also independent with the golden rooster, as if afraid of being disturbed, and then hit the board.

At this moment, Garnett next to him felt as if old opponents such as Kobe, Driver, and Duncan had all appeared on the opposite side.

brush!
After playing in the second quarter, Li Chengming made three three-pointers and rebounded from the bottom.

wow——
