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

Chapter 327 A tie

The rumors of public opinion are based on whichever side is powerful, they are all sloppy, and it is impossible to expect them to have an unshakable position.

It's as if after the first game, the outside world has become more optimistic about the Lakers. At that time, they even wished to step on the Magic and Li Chengming, how to belittle them.

At that time, the public opinion environment between the Lakers and Li Chengming was very bad, but the player's reputation has always been based on his own, not public opinion, so one game is enough to completely reverse the public opinion situation.

This time, Li Chengming made 22 of 15 shots and scored 30+ again. The magnificent data of 36 points, 11 rebounds and 5 assists in the game also "proved" himself again, so that those voices who were still belittling him before temporarily disappeared.

Of course, if they don't perform well in the future, they may show up again, but this kind of face-slapping feeling is quite refreshing for Li Chengming.

With his excellent data performance, he was undoubtedly elected as the home MVP, and then accepted a post-match interview with CCTV.

Director Zhang came up and expressed his congratulations with a smile, and then asked: "You defended the home game in this game, but you will go to the away game for the next two games. Do you think you can win two games in a row?"

"It still depends on the situation. I can't say for sure now, just like I didn't expect us to lose in the first game. But we will definitely do our best to avoid the situation like the first game. If I hope, it must be two Win every game, then go home and win the cup."

When interviewed by the domestic media, it must be in Mandarin. Li Chengming felt that what he said was quite standard, and he would not have any stage fright.

"Now the domestic fans are supporting you to win the championship, what do you want to say to them?"

"It must be thanks to everyone for their support, and then I hope to continue to support me and the Magic. I also hope that I can return to China with the championship and share the joy of winning the championship with everyone."

"Hahaha, then I wish you success in advance!"

"thanks, thanks……"

"The last game you lost was a big blow. How have you adjusted in the past two days? We can notice that in this game, you and your teammates performed very differently from the last game. Even the name of the team would never have guessed that it would be the same team..."

Li Chengming said with a wry smile: "First of all, we must forget the loss in the last game, but we can't forget it completely. It means remembering the result of the failure, but forgetting the feeling of failure, and then this is our own. I think we The strength is still there, as long as you can maintain a relaxed attitude, it is still very easy to win."

"Hey! It seems that there is still a lot of self-confidence in becoming famous, but young players really need to have this kind of self-confidence and this domineering arrogance! Then we all know that this is only your first season in the NBA , To get the best regular season record in team history in your rookie season, reach the finals and expect to win the championship, it should be a very special thing for you, right?"

"certainly……"

"..." Director Zhang may still want to ask some questions about the men's basketball team, but after thinking about it, he thinks it's not appropriate at this time.

If this is asked, it will distract Li Chengming.

In any case, the finals are the most important thing for him at the moment. The Olympics are still two months away, so there is still time to think about it after the games.

And being able to win the championship, the addition of this new NBA championship player is also a booster for the men's basketball team.

So he asked a few simple questions about the game instead, and Li Chengming answered them one by one, and ended the short interview.

After that, Li Chengming has to go back to the locker room to take a shower and change clothes, and then go to the post-match press conference.

Amy didn't come today, so I can only share the joy with her on the phone.

In addition to Li Chengming, Lewis who performed well outside the three-point line and Nelson who sent 9 assists attended the press conference. The height of the three is still arranged from low to high, which looks like a mobile phone signal grid.

The focus of the reporters is of course Li Chengming. Now he has completely surpassed other rookies in the same class. When others are still comparing with the first and second graders, Li Chengming's comparison object has become the MVP level Kobe .

In terms of scoring alone, he is indeed the player with the strongest scoring ability in this playoffs except for Kobe, and he is currently the second most 30+ times.

Kobe also scored 27 points today, 18 of 9 shots and 9 of 7 free throws. Overall, he is still not as good as Li Chengming.

The Magic's defense against Kobe is actually that the outside three-pointer can be properly released, but once he enters the three-point line, when he gets the ball, he will be marked by one person and harassed by one person, ready to double-team him at any time to force him to take the ball, which is similar to how opponents deal with Li Chengming.

It's just that today both Gasol and Odom are pulled. Gasol only performed well for a while. Odom made 4 for 0 shots from beyond the three-point line, which made the Magic even more daring to let him shoot outside. As a result, he dared not vote again.

At this time, the tactical effect of him raising the high position to support will also drop a lot, especially the passing line will be captured by the Magic. If he can't play an offensive threat, it will be half useless.

Fisher still has 7 of 4 three-point performances, but he is not fast. The Magic are chasing closely and don't give him too many open opportunities. He will not force a shot if there is no good opportunity.

After all, not everyone is like Kobe. Even if Fisher has a 0.4-second lore and is considered a big-hearted player, it doesn't mean that he can let go of his shots.

Sometimes role players seem to have high efficiency, but it is really because they have fewer shots and most of them are opportunity shots.

This is the gap between stars and ordinary players. When falling behind or in adversity, most of the stars still need to stand up to solve the problem.

Even if it is a role player's lore, isn't it often an opportunity for the star to attract the defense and come out?

A reporter also asked Lewis, he made 8 of 6 three-pointers today. Although he was only 15 of 8 overall, this kind of three-point accuracy is much more important for opening up space than simply looking at the shooting percentage.

This also made him look radiant. The team won and he performed well, which relieved some personal pressure.

After all, although Li Chengming stole the biggest pot in losing the game, he was not uncommonly criticized.

After Nelson also answered two simple questions, the press conference ended. After two days of rest, they will go to Los Angeles on the 11th to start their road trip to the Finals.

Although the Staples Arena is not like Utah's home court due to the geographical characteristics of Los Angeles, the audience's entertainment is stronger and the pressure of the Magic team will be reduced accordingly, but the home field advantage lies in other aspects. In short, it is indeed not very beneficial to them.

Therefore, the coaching staff did not relax at all. In the past two days, they had an urgent meeting to study, preparing to sum up the experience of the past two games, good and bad.

Although there are researches before the finals, many things can't be confirmed until they have actually played it on the spot.

Especially the situation of each team is different, and the effect of playing is also different.

In the training session the next morning, the coaching staff called the players together to brainstorm.

"Tell me your own thoughts, no matter right or wrong, good or bad, you can say it for everyone to use as a reference..."
