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

Chapter 346 Two Depressed People
"Kobe played the fast break alone and dunked lightly, which saves energy." Director Zhang said with a smile: "During this period, the Lakers are relying on defense, and the Magic may need to adjust first."

However, Van Gundy folded his hands on his chest, expressionless, and didn't call to stop, and didn't even call the players over to give instructions.

In fact, the Magic players have not been affected too much. Turkoglu's low singles Ariza succeeded and slightly stopped the bleeding, 32:29.

Kobe turned his back again in the low post, and Bogans went up to double-team. He was not in a hurry to get the ball out.

If you want to say that the most depressed person on the Lakers side of the Finals, Ariza is expected to compete for No.1.

He was suddenly exchanged to the Lakers during the season. Although the Lakers have reached the finals, the Magic team on the opposite side happens to be their old team, and they are leading them 3:1. This time they are also standing on the edge of a cliff. Accidentally watched the other party hold the cup.

If the Magic wins the championship in the end, he will definitely die of depression, because if he is not traded, then he can also be a champion.

The point is that Cook, who exchanged with him in the past, has no chance to play now. The existence of Li Chengming makes the Magic not need him to play at all, unless the game enters garbage time, he may be allowed to make an appearance.

So at this time, he may also be the one who wants to win the Magic most besides Kobe.

Facing an empty basket this time, he directly vented his emotions with a slam dunk, and wanted to show the Orlando fans a look at himself.

It's just that they don't remember that Ariza was still a player of his own team a few months ago. At that time, he was only in the rotation of the team and was not very conspicuous. He was traded directly before he left a deep impression on the fans. .

"During this period, the Lakers played very proactively. Don't the Magic want to change?"

On the contrary, the commentators began to get anxious about the magic, but Van Gundy, the old god, was more like a Zen master than the Zen master over there at this time.

After Turkoglu broke through and assisted Lewis to make a three-pointer, he even sat back directly, as if he was relieved.

"Maybe this is also the current confidence of the Magic. As long as they don't get widened during this period of time, they can still regain their initiative when Li Chengming and Howard come back."

The fans at home seemed very excited, shouting loudly both in the defensive and offensive rounds.

Especially after every goal, it will be accompanied by the shaking of the magic flag. Looking from a distance, the stands seem to be surging with waves, which is very visually impactful.

This kind of atmosphere really makes domestic fans very envious, not only envious of this scene, but also envious of the way other people's leagues are made, and think about their own...

However, Van Gundy was very calm on the surface, but after 2 minutes he still took Li Chengming and Howard together, which also proved that his heart was not so calm.

"Li Chengming and Howard are back on the court. The Magic still feel unstable and want to regain their advantage earlier."

Xu Chenghe laughed and said, "Now it depends on whether the Lakers will release Li Chengming a little bit. Anyway, if you dare to let me go, I will fight Li Chengming until you dare not let him go."

In Li Chengming's first attack after he came on the field, he felt a subtle change in the opposing defense. The opposing defender, the penalty area defender and the wing defender formed a triangle that could be encircled at any time, but compared to the previous intensity, this Still kind of letting him go.

He naturally tested the ball first, and then he was relieved after confirming that the strength of the opponent had not improved.

At the same time, there is no doubt in my heart that I don't have the idea of ​​​​a conflict of spirits. Isn't it because the other party dares to do this because he despises him?

It just so happens that I feel good today, and my condition is good. Since you want to try, I don’t mind getting a high score in the finals. When the time comes, the statistics and victories will be taken away together, and you will cry at the end.

When he made up his mind, he completely entered the state.

The rest of the time became his performance time again, but at this time Li Chengming knew that he had to pay attention to offensive efficiency, and he would no longer deliberately play tricks.

This is not without hidden worries for him, that is, if he consumes too much at this time, what will happen in the second half.

In addition to betting on his touch, the Lakers also have the idea of ​​consuming him in this way. When he is exhausted, the real effect of this defensive strategy will be revealed.

Of course, this also depends on their good offensive efficiency today, and the Magic's defense can't be restricted. Otherwise, if the score is really pulled, Phil Jackson can't change.

But for the fans, they don't care about this. Seeing that Li Chengming scored another 14 points in a single quarter with super high efficiency, and when he scored 29 points at halftime, everyone already had a premonition that the Lakers would still be like this in the second half If he doesn't change his defense, Li Chengming may get a super high score today.

And relying on his consecutive strong hits, the Magic overtook the score in the second half, leading 51:55 to 4 points at halftime.

Li Chengming alone accounted for more than half of the Magic's points, and no one else scored in double figures.

As for the Lakers, Kobe Bryant and Gasol continued to play today, and Odom was troubled by fouls and his performance was mediocre, but the Lakers took a lot of opportunities from outside and seized a lot of them, with a hit rate of more than 13%. He scored [-] three-pointers, and it can be said that he was biting the score entirely by relying on three-pointers.

When the score was overtaken by the Magic, it was also a time when consecutive shots were missed, but the three-pointer is inherently unstable, which is nothing unusual.

At halftime, because the Magic still took the initiative, the home fans rejoiced and seemed to have imagined the situation of winning the cup after the game.

But in the locker room, Van Gundy carefully reminded the players, especially Li Chengming, to keep calm in the second half.

"Whether it's LI, Dwight, or anyone else, if you get the chance, you have to dare to fight, don't have any psychological pressure." Van Gundy knew that at this time, he was worried about their mentality. After all, the championship is close at hand, excited and excited , Even worrying about gains and losses may affect the problem of concentration on the field, which in turn affects performance.

Their strength has been proven, and they must be stronger than the opponent, so now it depends on their performance.

At the same time, he also emphasized the defense, "You guys have done a good job defending against Kobe, and it's the same in the second half. Don't let him have too many chances, press him to death!"

Although Kobe also scored 11 points in the first half, he made 10 of 4 shots and his efficiency was mediocre, because the Magic were strictly guarding against him, and even preferred to open three-pointers outside.

Facts have also proved that they cannot always be accurate.

This is not only the instability of outside three-pointers, but also the difference between role players and stars, and the offensive grasp is very different.

It is true that Li Chengming cannot guarantee that he will score every goal, but he hits an astonishing shooting percentage of more than 70% in the half, and the opponent has to shoot close to [-]% of the three-pointers to compare with him.

Is this possible?

Not to mention, even if the Magic let it go here, they will try their best to let a non-shooter like Odom who is not so sure about three-pointers.

The 15 minutes of halftime passed quickly, and the third quarter began. The first 3 minutes were still a tug-of-war. The Lakers even narrowed the point difference to 1 point by relying on hacking tactics.
