Chapter 309 Killing the Game

"DEFEND!"

"DEFEND!"

TD North Shore Garden Arena, shouted loudly.

At the final moment of the decisive battle, countless eyes of the audience were fixed on the field, the duel between 1.8 meters [-] and [-] meters [-].

Of course, no one really expects Rondo to be able to guard Li Chengming. Li Chengming's current state is not the time for the first quarter. His confidence is slowly coming back, he feels more confident, and he can try to return to the routine style of play.

At this time, the three-pointer is still too risky after all, and it is more sure to hit the basket.

Moreover, his teammates are helping him to open up space. Howard's screens, Lewis and Nelson's running positions will also make the opponent exhausted. At this time, it is impossible to fully focus on his defensive attention.

But in the end, it was still impossible to watch Rondo come to single-handedly defend Li Chengming, so seeing that there was not much time left in the round, Garnett directly let go of Howard's threatening face and came over to double-team.

Li Chengming's vision was blocked at this moment, but he chose to make a decisive shot at this moment, turning around and jumping.

"Li Chengming attracts pincers, but there is no space to distribute the ball. Lu Kai's defensive rotation is very good this round, and it is also difficult for Li Chengming to find an angle to pass the ball. He can choose to shoot directly!"

"This ball didn't, oops it's a little bit...but! Howard grabbed the rebound and went in for the second attack point!"

Yoga suddenly said: "Li Chengming's judgment at this time is very accurate. He must make a shot, and when he made the shot, Garnett and Perkins were pulled away and couldn't return to the basket immediately. Instead, Warcraft Being able to occupy the most advantageous rebounding position, Howard did not disappoint."

Although this may sound to many people as suspected of forcibly taking credit for Li Chengming, but judging from the results and the interaction between the two after scoring the goal, Li Chengming really thought so.

Of course, the idea may also fail, but the judgment made in the blink of an eye is inherently risky, which is better than throwing the ball casually.

The Magic's relatively safe two-pointer chased the score to the last point.

At 105:106, there are still 34 seconds left in the game, and both sides have at least one offensive opportunity. The Green Army must be foolproof in this attack, so that they can grasp the final initiative, so Rivers once again called a Pause here, plan to arrange it well.

The Magic also need this timeout to arrange their defense for this round.

At this time, Van Gundy chose to replace Lewis and Nelson first, and replaced Bogans and Evans. This is obviously to strengthen the defense, especially the rotation of the striker.

With Howard and Li Chengming, the problem of inside and low post defense is not so big. Li Chengming can carry the low post or squat under the basket, and Howard will conduct a sweeping defense.

But they have to guard against the opponent's chance to go outside. Although they are leading by one point now, the opponent is more likely to choose to be on the safe side, first get two points and then kick the ball to the Magic team, but think along this line of thinking , The opponent may also seize this point to arrange outside tactics.

In particular, Ray Allen and Pierce on the opposite side are both key players who can execute lore shots from beyond the three-point line.

"LI, pay attention to your defensive position selection later, the opponent may also break through from your side..."

Van Gundy knew that keeping Li Chengming on the court in this kind of defensive round was bound to be risky, but Li Chengming's current defense had improved a lot, and he had to guard against it. In case this defense was successful, the court must More Li Chengming, a player who can control the situation, is needed.

This also prevents him from calling a timeout in time at a critical moment, or calling a timeout will interrupt the team's fast-break rhythm.

Of course, this is indeed a gamble, but at least even if it doesn't work this time, they still have another chance. As long as they don't let their opponents hit from the outside, the 3-point difference is still very hopeful to be tied.

Once they enter overtime, their physical advantages as young people will become more prominent, and they may play more easily at that time.

Moreover, in Van Gundy's heart, as a strict teacher, he also hopes to sharpen Li Chengming in this way. If he is always well protected, how can he grow faster and more?

Although Li Chengming's real progress this season is still due to the system and "weight loss", Van Gundy feels that giving him more opportunities to perform and try and make mistakes is also a key, just like during Turkoglu's absence. It's like asking him to practice his organization.

"Don't worry, sir, I will definitely pay attention!" Li Chengming solemnly promised, and there seemed to be a little excitement in his blood.

He likes a challenge, especially when it comes to things he doesn't seem to be good at.

Although failure may be ushered in, if you want to make yourself stronger, you cannot be afraid of failure.

"...Okay, let's get back to the game. Next is probably the last attack of the Bostonians in this game. If they succeed, or even better, they can make a three-pointer, then they can basically seal the victory.

"And this is also a moment to test the Magic's defense. They have done a good job in the previous time, but obviously the success or failure lies in this last move-heh, we saw that Coach Van Gundy did not choose to put LI on the court at this time. Has the newcomer King of Huaguo's defense also been recognized by him?"

Li Chengming stood in front of the sideline, opened his hand and began to interfere with Garnett who was serving.

After Rondo came out to catch the ball, Garnett immediately went back to set up, and Li Chengming also followed closely.

The Green Army also seems to want to press the offense to the last time, and then leave the Magic with the last chance to attack, and also to test their defense.

When the time entered the last ten seconds, the ball began to be handed over to Pierce. After several screens, Li Chengming had to switch defenses and stared nervously at the opponent.

Compared with Garnett's mouth full of dung, Pierce can also talk trash, which is relatively more civilized, but it also appears to be more pretentious.

Similar to "See, I will kill you there later", Li Chengming's answer to this is also very simple: "Even if you score, it is only called a quasi-lore, idiot!"

Pierce's masseter muscles on both sides tightened, his eyes were serious and cautious, and he suddenly changed direction. The movement itself was unpretentious, but Li Chengming was deceived by the fake movement of his shoulders, and was almost disappeared by Akira, half a body behind in reaction Come here and catch up immediately.

Pierce was taken aback by his reaction. The key point was that Pierce himself was not good at speed. He couldn't completely get rid of Li Chengming when dribbling the ball, so he could only carry him with half of his body and continue to kill.

At this time, Howard also came to help defend, and Pierce's passing vision is relatively poor, which can be regarded as one of his shortcomings.

The other is probably the psychology of wanting to be a hero.

There is nothing wrong with this. It can even be said that one of the essential keys to becoming a star is to dare to take responsibility for shots and the consequences of failure at critical moments.

Pierce chose to make his own shot at this time, and he almost decided the outcome of the game in his own hands.

However, it was not easy for him to make a shot between the two of them. Before reaching the air, the action was almost deformed, and there was no way to make it more complete. Under the interference of Li Chengming, the strength of the ball was obviously not very strong. right.

Howard turned around and leaped high to pick off the rebound. At this time, Bogans and Evans were about to go down, and the Greens returned to defense quickly. The frontcourt formed a two-for-two, but there was still a chance for a fast break .

To be on the safe side, Howard gave the ball to Li Chengming first for a transition, but Li Chengming didn't even look at it and passed it to Turkoglu on the other side in seconds. The Turk received the ball while running, and his eyes kept on While paying attention to the situation ahead, he chose to give the ball to the safer Evans first.

There was a gap in front of Evans, but standing at the bull's horns, he didn't have the confidence to make a direct shot at this time, so he chose to pass the ball out, which has already delayed an already good offensive opportunity.

Of course, insurance can't be said to be completely wrong at this time, at least Turkoglu and Li Chengming rushed to the back foot.Bogans passed the ball back to Li Chengming just when he was almost surrounded by two people at the basket and almost made a mistake.

At this moment, Li Chengming just took a step inside the three-point line, and suddenly he was so lucky that he didn't even look at Turkoglu, who was opening his hand for the ball on the other side. Hands cast directly.

"Li Chengming! Take a three-pointer - can you do it this time, can you?"
