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

Chapter 338

With 5 minutes and 17 seconds left in the second quarter, the score was 41:33. Van Gundy finally waited for the dead ball and replaced Nelson, who was out of shape.

Fatty not only made many turnovers today, he already made 4 in the halftime, and he shot very hard, 3 for 0.

In the game, there were still 5 of 3, 8 points and 6 assists. This state almost fell to the Mariana Trench.

Then the Magic lineup became again, Evans, Turkoglu, Li Chengming, Lewis and Howard.

From Howard's point of view, this is a one-star attack, and from Li Chengming's point of view, it is another triangle attack.

The Lakers also took back the starting five. Today, except for Kobe, the other four are actually in good condition, and today the referee's whistle is slightly biased towards them, and they can always get fouls when they enter the paint.

However, the Magic's foul distribution is relatively even. Except for Turkoglu's 2 fouls, the rest of the main players have only 1 foul, and there is no foul crisis for the time being.

In fact, a few minutes before halftime, the two teams have already entered the decisive stage ahead of time. Both teams know that at this time, how much they lead and how much they fall behind enters the intermission, which will have a qualitative change.

Bryant remained calm and began to seek to make kills to regain his touch, while giving his teammates some opportunities.

Odom scored consecutive cuts and stepped up after Gasol.

But at this time, the Magic's outside three-pointer exploded. Of course, the reason was because of Li Chengming's explosive output, which made the Lakers have to guard against it.

For some players, you can let him go on purpose, and let him score [-] or [-] points, which is acceptable, but for some players, if the single defense is not enough, you must attack the ball, and if the flank attack is not enough, you must defend the ball. Stealth on the pitch.

But this is obviously impossible. If it is like Dayao, the body is too big and the speed is slow, and because the hand is not good enough to catch the ball and not flexible enough, it is easy to be a buttery hand. It can really limit it, but Li Chengming is flexible and fat, and He is now swinging between the 3rd and 4th positions, and can directly attack from the outside by himself.

If he couldn't get in, he just shot a three-pointer from the outside, but he saw that the defense on the other side was so tense, so he chose to attract firepower by himself and let his teammates come.

There are only so many defensive resources in total, not to mention that they are still piled up inside. Not only Li Chengming, but also Howard dare not release them. In this way, the Magic's outside lines will have many good opportunities.

Lewis even dared to get two three-point opportunities with two big steps open. There is no reason for him not to shoot this kind of shot, even if he was not accurate before, but they paid him to let him do it.

Speaking of which, Lewis was signed by Van Gundy and Osti Smith. Of course, he may not have thought that Smith would directly use a contract of [-] million yuan, which confused Lewis and Van Gundy.

If it weren't for Li Chengming's sudden emergence this season, the Magic might not be able to make it to the finals, or even the Eastern Conference finals, so I don't know how he will be criticized for this big contract.

Van Gundy is also fortunate that Li Chengming is obedient and coaxing, and is willing to make sacrifices for the team. Otherwise, this season will be like this, and he will become the team's scoring leader in the playoffs, and he has been asked to be a substitute. People may be about to make a fuss.

So he put Li Chengming in the starting lineup this time, which can be regarded as giving him a sweet date, or it can be said that he is CPU him.

Of course, Li Chengming will not be PUAed so easily, but in his opinion, this season is the time when he is expected to create a legend. He doesn't think about others, he has to think about himself.

It was so easy to get to the finals and win the championship. He had to consider whether this was the only chance in his life.

Even if there is any idea to make a fuss, it should be a matter of next season.

And even when the time comes, he won't make too much trouble, it's best to subtly form a change.

He is not a child, if he is not the boss of the team and cannot get the FMVP, he will just play badly and lose the game.

Lewis's character is exactly the kind that needs to have confidence to support his playing state. This confidence has improved, and the accuracy has improved. The two three-pointers directly brought the point difference back to 12 points, and also helped Li Chengming add 2 assists .

"Before I knew it, Li Chengming had already scored 6 assists in the first half. Will he get a triple-double today?"

Director Zhang laughed and said, "Li Chengming didn't compete with Kobe for scoring today, and started to compare assists. Both of them should be able to assist in double figures today."

Hearing this, the audience rolled their eyes secretly. Could it be that Li Chengming didn't compete with Kobe? Isn't this because Kobe couldn't score and could only compare assists?

In other words, although Kobe's condition is not very good today, he also tried his best. Who called his teammate Xibe, can't drag him to defeat the Magic?
Well, Kobe, cute pinch...

Xu Jicheng said: "I have to say that Li Chengming's state in these three games is really good, and as long as his teammates don't pull the crotch and can score the ball he assigned, the Magic's offensive threat is too great. It's just hard to resist."

Sun Zheng commented: "This game is mainly due to Kobe's absence. The Lakers' offense still depends on him. Others can play on the Magic's side. Anyway, I can score here."

Continuing to play like this, the point difference will only get wider and wider. "Zen Master" became a master of time-out this time, and called a time-out to rearrange it again.

The Magic also made adjustments. Van Gundy replaced Howard and Turkoglu first, and also matched Li Chengming with a four-shot lineup. The distance is good, and they can go in when they get an open chance.

According to Van Gundy's thinking, as long as the score advantage can be maintained, it is not a big problem to be chased for two or three points. In the second half, Howard and Turkoglu can play one more fight, and then let Li Chengming rest. Just maintain their physical strength and state.

Anyway, let's see how the lineup works out, and if it doesn't work, it's okay to change it back.

The Lakers have no other choice in this situation. In this lineup, basically only Li Chengming is a point of threat with the ball. Lewis and the others can only pass it on a little bit, and it is impossible to expect them to dominate the ball.

So their goal is also very clear, just to use the Magic's one-on-one quadruple against Kobe.

What this set of "box tactics" bully is that you have no other offensive point with the ball. After locking that key point, if other players can't shoot directly, it is easy to fall into a trap and make a mistake when dealing with the ball after delaying time.

But Li Chengming was in good shape at this time, and even ignored the defense and hit a 2+1 throw in front of the two. His hands were deformed in the air, and he still swiped the net. In the atmosphere, Howard stood up and twisted his body with a towel, grinning and showing his big white teeth.

The CCTV commentator was also laughing here, and Sun Zheng commented: "Li Chengming used this magical goal to tell the Lakers: You can't guard me, and the Lakers haven't scored yet. It's down to 16 points!"

"Oh my God! Are the Lakers going to be able to beat Li with a substitute?" Kenny Smith laughed strangely, somewhat gloating.

Barkley, on the other hand, declared: "The Lakers are over, LA is over, this goal will make them completely lose heart, the championship belongs to Orlando!"

But of course the Lakers did not give up so easily, nor did they lose heart.

Not to mention that even if they lose this game, they still have a home game to fight for, and this game is not over yet.

It was the first half. It is not uncommon for them to lead by 20 points in the first half and come back in the second half. As long as the midfielder can adjust well and get back the feeling, especially Kobe Bryant, everything is possible.

However, before the end of halftime, they were not able to close the point difference, and finally fell behind the Magic by 43:59, 16 points, and entered the intermission.
