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

Chapter 314 A big runaway in the last quarter, regrettably not to blame

From the offensive point of view, although Li Chengming's 20+7+4 data in the three quarters is not particularly eye-catching, it is not a big problem to say that he has tried his best. Can you control the hands of your teammates to help them shoot?

On the defensive end, I knew I couldn't count on him, not to mention being trapped in a foul crisis. Gandy didn't dare to let him go after the fourth foul, so of course he didn't dare to defend, so he could only try his best Interference, in fact, it can also be said that he did his best and there is no problem.

It's just that the teammates also have their own difficulties, and the Green Army's targeting of the Magic is obviously stronger.

Aren't you fighting as a whole, then I'll just dismantle you completely and let you fight on your own.

The result is that the Magic's current offensive mode is similar to that of the Green Army. They all rely on individual singles, attracting double-teams and passing outside shooters, but they can't grasp it.

In fact, except for Li Chengming, the Magic's other players may not be stronger than their opponents in single-handed offense. Howard is too rough, Lewis is too soft, and Turkoglu and Nelson are slower. Connected as a whole, the Green Army can match up one-on-one.

Not to mention that their defense is still very layered, and it is impossible to really play one-on-one with you.

Van Gundy designed so many offensive routines for the Magic, to a certain extent, it is also to cover up the problems of the players' personal offensive ability, and it can also maximize their respective characteristics.

But when personal best points such as Lewis's projection cannot be displayed, tactics cannot achieve results, which in turn affects the overall strategy.

When the fourth quarter started, the impact of the previous rotation disorder began to appear again. In the past, the Magic team, which had been able to gain the upper hand in the rotation stage, was directly suppressed this time. The point difference that was originally in the single digits was quickly widened to two. After just over three minutes, Van Gundy had to call a timeout again.

Su Qun sighed: "The Magic played too hard this time. It feels like they are being led by the nose all the time. They don't have their own offensive rhythm at all."

Yoga echoed: "Ginger is still old and hot. Everyone here at Lukai knows what they should do. On the other hand, the Magic is prone to rush, and when they get anxious, they can't play."

On the bench, Van Gundy looked around and said in a deep voice, "Next we..."

After he said some nonsense, he repeatedly emphasized the tactics. At this time, the head coach also became obviously stubborn, thinking that it was not his own tactics that were the problem, but the players' poor execution.

Of course, he said it more tactfully, and the players were more acceptable.

What's more, it's true. The anxiety of the young players is evident in the Magic players at this time. Turkoglu and Lewis are not playing well today, and they have the most experience at this time.

However, although Li Chengming was impatient, he had recovered a little bit of his true colors at this time.

Although eagerness is not advisable on the field, on the other hand, pressure may turn into motivation instead, and Li Chengming, who originally wanted to play as reasonable as possible, was dazed at this time and only wanted to rely on himself. On the contrary, it has achieved good results.

No, it should be said that it was the effect that made the Green Army's heart jump.

"...Li Chengming got the ball again, and this time he hit with his back. Facing the double-team, he chose to go to the left, and retreated to the middle distance of the free throw line, and again! After Li Chengming came up, he made 4 shots in a row All hits, not only helped the Magic stop the bleeding, but also made the Celtics have to consider adjusting their defensive strategy."

Then the Greens failed to attack, and the Magic played a fast break again, and the point difference approached 10 points.

Then Pierce stood up again, causing Lewis' foul and scoring at the same time, but unfortunately the extra penalty missed.

Today, he is also rushing to score 30+ points, and he has scored 25 points efficiently so far, and he is very bright with Li Chengming.

And Li Chengming's 30th point came soon. This time it was a turnaround jumper facing the defense at a 45-degree angle on the left. The two of Lukai chose to double-team in advance to force him to take the ball, but he made a false move. Played two people and almost caused a foul.

Li Chengming's determination to attack was beyond everyone's expectations. The green army felt annoyed but helpless, because no one could match him or hold him back.

In fact, the best defensive strategy for them to deal with Li Chengming should be to use Perkins to defend, Garnett to assist in the defense, plus harassment from the outside flanks, but in this way, the inside is easy to open the door.

Now it is hard to silence Howard and Turkoglu. If they temporarily change their defensive strategy and make that side come alive, it will be really difficult to fight.

Can Li Chengming alone be able to deal with them as a team?

What's more, he can't have every attack, can he?

The choice of the Green Army is to slow down the offensive rhythm, reduce the number of rounds, and ensure that the first time to return to the defense after the attack fails, so as to prevent the opponent from organizing an effective wave of fast break.

This does have some effect, but they are the first to lose efficiency.

This time Pierce missed a three-pointer from the outside. The Magic did not rush to play a fast break, and the ball was handed over to Li Chengming, who was on the weak side and low post, to deal with it.

Lukai's double-teaming came faster than before, but Li Chengming raised the ball high, felt that the opponent "acted" a little after the match, and made a foul.

Although I haven't reached BONUS yet, this time I also reminded the other party.

This is the home court of the Magic. The referee doesn't say to take care of the Magic, but they definitely don't want to use foul moves to defend as they did in the previous two games.

Of course, the scale of the playoffs is relatively open at this time, but Li Chengming played very smartly, and if they raised their hands high, they would be able to see clearly.

And if they want to force Li Chengming to make a wrong move, they must first be able to squeeze each other.

A very important advantage of Li Chengming in dealing with double teams is his size and weight, which allows him to have a certain amount of space to move around even after the ball is dead.

If you are forced into a hurry, like now, the referee will usually give some face.

On the defensive end, once they become not decisive enough, the defensive deterrence of the Green Army has dropped a lot. Li Chengming also calmed down at this time, and he still knew in his heart that he could not win the game by himself alone, and he had to put his teammates together. All need to be mobilized.

It's okay to attack alone, but you must let your teammates create a threat so that the opponent cannot attack him unscrupulously.

After all, even he couldn't let himself face two or three people every time he attacked, and shot in the crowd, and then he had to guarantee efficiency.

When the time entered the last 2 minutes, the score entered single digits unknowingly. With the efforts of Li Chengming, the Magic team gradually had a sign that it was about to rise.

And the process of the last 2 minutes made Lv Kai break out in a cold sweat.

First, Li Chengming missed a three-point shot from the outside, but Lewis rushed to grab an offensive rebound and caused a foul, and he seized both free throws.

Then Pierce caused Li Chengming's fifth personal foul, as well as two free throws.

At 1 minute and 20 seconds, Li Chengming held the ball in a high position. The Magic ran an eagle attack. Nelson attracted Li Chengming, who was defending and then passed back to the free throw line. .

At 55 seconds, Lukai's attack returned without success again. Rondo seemed to have a brain twitch for a moment. He was sentenced to a technical foul for hugging Turkoglu who had already rushed up. The Turk made a free throw and received Li Chengming 13 seconds later. The layup was successful with a pass, and the point difference was only 4 points.

Rivers used up his second timeout of this section at this time, and after making some arrangements, Garnett came up to catch the ball and hit the rebound to stabilize the situation.

At 30 seconds, the Magic team hit a three-pointer from the outside, and they were still three points away. As a result, the green card consumed almost 3 seconds of time, and Rondo was forced to play a three-pointer. The team requested a timeout.

Van Gundy arranged a catch tactic, Li Chengming swayed a shot to cover Lewis, Lewis came out to catch the ball and hit a three-pointer, but the three-pointer was ruled invalid this time.

Because Pierce fouled Li Chengming first, and when the replay confirmed that Lewis made a three-pointer, the time was up.

Li Chengming went to the free throw line to execute a free throw. He made the first free throw, but deliberately missed the second free throw and wanted to grab an offensive rebound for a second attack. Unfortunately, although he got the time, he didn't have enough time to make a shot.

At the end of the game, the Magic lost by only 97 points at 99:2 at home.
