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

Chapter 329 The City of Angels
In basketball games, teamwork is always more difficult to defend than one person fighting alone. No matter how strong a person is, it is impossible to take care of all the roles on the court by himself. If you want to get all the data, the result may be In the end, there are only data left, but no victory.

Just like James in the Cavaliers, his style of play makes his basic stats look good no matter what, it seems to be very comprehensive, but rebounds can be blocked by teammates, and assists can be helped by teammates. Personal offense and winning are not necessarily driven by teammates.

Of course, that is not the basketball appearance that Li Chengming expected, coupled with the barrel effect, so his priority at this time, of course, can still make up for his shortcomings, and at the same time strengthen the defensive end that brings the most help to the team and teammates.

"Moving steps, jumping, etc., it is not easy to change, and I have really improved, and I dare not do it casually, because it is still a burden on the body. My current style of play is actually enough to avoid injuries. , Continuation of career is the most rational choice.

"So I'd better strengthen two aspects, one is the experience prediction on the defensive end, and the other is..."

Cut the ball!

Li Chengming found a "ghost hand" magical skill that can help increase his stealing ability.

This skill is worth 30 points, just by looking at it, you can tell that it is extraordinary.

The system mall is very fair. Every skill has value. Low-value skills are not necessarily useless, but high-value skills must be useful.

It just so happened that after Li Chengming thought about it, he felt that this skill was also very suitable for him.

When defending, his physical fitness is actually not very suitable for use in all aspects, and there are flaws, but in terms of arm and finger length, it can become his advantage.

Especially when defending behind the back, relying on a pair of long arms to interfere from time to time, even the slender fingers can effectively increase his defensive area at this time.

Then when the opponent backs up to protect the ball, he pokes forward when he is not paying attention, causing the opponent to drop the ball. At this time, he only needs to pounce forward to control the ball, and at least it can cause a scrimmage.

Defensive enthusiasm is a good thing, but if you don't have enough experience and skills, being too aggressive may be a bad thing. For example, if the referee's scale is slightly tighter, a foul may be committed.

And a key part of the ghost hand's skill is that the word "ghost" means its concealment, which can not only make the opponent unexpected, but also avoid the attention of the referee.

Even if there are some actions that may be judged to be fouls, as long as the referee does not intentionally target them, it is impossible to capture them.

After all, the human eye is not like a video camera, with a slow-motion function, it can also clearly see all kinds of physical contact from multiple angles.

To put it bluntly, one of the places where the professionalization of the NBA has done a good job is in this kind of on-site recording. It's like turning the stadium into a huge stage, and you can see everything you want.

But with so many rounds and so many actions on the court, it is impossible to stop every time to have a clear look before continuing the game, and the rhythm will be completely broken.

So in many cases, small moves that can escape the referee's sight can also be judged as good defense.

And this can also effectively avoid the referee's biased whistle, because no matter how they blow it, they still have to blow it based on the action on the scene, but if it is an invisible action and they blow it, it may be considered a black whistle.

After so many years in the NBA, excluding those fans on both sides who feel wronged when they say that the public is right and the woman is right, there are actually relatively few real black calls.

Especially on occasions like the finals, even if the Heat's comeback in 06 was considered controversial, it could at most be said to be Wade's body whistle.

After all, the finals are no more important than anything else, and NBA officials generally don't choose this time when they want to do something.

In addition, like this year, it is good for the NBA whether it is the Magic or the Lakers winning the championship. On the contrary, compared with the story of the Lakers' "Return of the King", the new king of the Magic has risen and won the first championship in team history. Li Chengming, a Chinese player who won the championship as one of the core players, may be more topical, and it will be more beneficial for further marketing in China.

Next, the Magic will play two away games. It is foreseeable that the Magic may suffer a bit from the referee's penalty. This is also a disadvantage of playing away games.

Li Chengming felt that this magical skill brought him a lot of help, and besides that, for the defense of the penalty area, he chose an icon of "Standing Cap Master" to light up, and at the same time gained this skill.

As the name of this skill suggests, it is to stand still and complete the block. The required conditions are actually relatively harsh, but it is very practical for Li Chengming.

Because his movement and jumping explosiveness are still somewhat limited, but if he can use this skill to interfere or block shots when facing the opponent's defender one-on-one, it is not easy to be called a foul because he has already established his position.

It may even cause offensive fouls in reverse. This is the conclusion Li Chengming came to after studying the characteristics of this skill.

He also tried the method of creating offensive fouls on the defensive end before, but the scale was not very good. If there is a skill bonus, the certainty will be much greater.

Li Chengming didn't plan to exchange all the remaining ones, so let's see the effect first.

After such an arming, Li Chengming felt that he was a small reinforcement, and he was confident in the next road trip.

In fact, strictly speaking, they will not only face two away games next, but the schedule of the finals is not the same as before. After two consecutive home games, they will face three consecutive away games, and then Go back to the side with the home court advantage, which is the 2-3-2 pattern.

This is why, after the Magic team lost their first home game, the outside world will look down on them all of a sudden, and after the big score is 1:1, many people still think they are very dangerous.

The next away game is very important. Once won, it will not only smooth out the disadvantages of losing the first home game, but also overtake in the series. This way, it will have a psychological advantage and the next game will be more favorable.

On the contrary, it is a trade-off, needless to say.

Then finally came the game day. On June 6, the Magic team had a routine training in the home arena in the morning, and at the same time, they also had to do a physical examination, such as the detection of heart rate and physical strain.

I took the plane to Los Angeles at noon. After a short rest, I will have a pre-match warm-up training at the Staples Center, shoot shots, trot to exercise my muscles and bones, and then I will accept media interviews.

Talking about the next game, Van Gundy said: "We know it will be very difficult to play away games. The Lakers have a deep championship background and are a strong opponent, but we will not give up easily. Before the end of the game, no one will give up. Will know the result..."

Howard laughed and said: "We are not the same as we were in the first game. Now we have found ourselves. Whether it is in the Amway Center or in Staples, it makes no difference to us. We will show the best state coping with...

"Our goal? Oh, of course it's the O'Brien Cup. Who doesn't come here to win a championship?"

The Lakers were also interviewed. Kobe had a serious expression. In fact, when he passed the Western Conference Finals, he still showed some relieved smiles. He also seemed happier after the first victory.

However, the defeat in the last game seemed intolerable to the Black Mamba, so he also expressed his belief in winning, and Gasol next to him was asked what he would do against Howard and Li Chengming today. When doing it, he showed a wry smile while talking.

Kobe watched and listened from the side, seemed a little dissatisfied with his tone, but didn't say anything.

In fact, the Lakers are very clear that this game is likely to be their biggest opportunity. If they win, they can say that they have half a foot in the victory, but if they lose, the situation is really going to be complete. Turned towards the Magic.

Before the game, the two players who occupied different sides of the training venue did not communicate with each other. Occasionally, when they looked at each other, there seemed to be sparks flickering.

Then soon, it finally came to 07:30 in the evening. The third game of the 07-08 NBA Finals officially started at the Staples Arena, home of the Los Angeles Lakers!
