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

Chapter 347 The King of Amway Center
The Magic also has one of the most depressed players, and it is undoubtedly Howard.

Most of the others are sometimes not in good shape, playing badly, and depressed because of their poor performance, but he is the whole series, and he has to be frightened from time to time, lest the opponent foul him and send him to the free throw line.

Whether it's the Eagles, the Cavaliers, or the Green Kai, or the Lakers, they will be killed if they are in doubt.

Because the Magic are in the lead most of the time, and the opponent wants to chase points, this is undoubtedly a good strategy.

Of course, Howard also has good free throws when he performs well. Generally, the opponent will not consider using this method when it is more than 70%. In that way, he will not disgust them, but disgust himself.

But for a player who has only hit 70% of his free throws so far in the playoffs, shooting [-]% of his shots is already blossoming for him.

Even Howard himself doesn't expect much, so every time he goes to the free throw line, he almost has a dead face, and the less confident he is, the more he can't make a penalty, and the more he can't make a penalty, the less confident he is, entering a vicious circle.

The only good thing is that opponents rarely choose to foul him at the beginning, and if the bonus is accumulated so quickly, it is not good news for themselves.

But for the Lakers in this game, there is nothing to take into account. In this case, how can they care so much? Just use the simplest, rude and effective method. Wharton came up and fouled twice, and then accumulated 5 committed a foul.

Li Chengming watched from the sidelines and couldn't help but slapped his forehead. Fortunately, Howard finally didn't miss two consecutive free throws today. Today, he basically made two free throws and made one of two free throws. Anyway, there is still one. A hit of about 60% is not so unacceptable.

Fortunately, the Lakers' three-point efficiency has dropped significantly at this time. If it is as explosive as the first quarter, Li Chengming even doubts whether they will be able to pull the point difference to 10 points in this short period of time.

Hand-to-hand combat has the same effect on both sides, and the feel has declined. Gasol, who is in the best form of the Lakers today, also missed a layup that was almost empty.

A lot of physical energy is consumed, and it is easy to have such a slippery hand, and not only this game, but the entire series and the entire playoffs.

This kind of fatigue is actually cumulative, how can it be fully recovered in just two or three days?

At this time, it is good for the Magic, because they can continue to play the opposite perimeter. In this case, it is the safest to play under the basket, but the Lakers can’t watch you foolishly. hit it.

While the Lakers were cutting Huo's tactics, they were also trying their best to prevent Howard from receiving the ball. In the absence of Li Chengming, the Magic only had him as a fulcrum inside, and Lewis still floated outside to shoot.

During this period, Turkoglu and Lewis each attempted two three-pointers and only hit one.

When Li Chengming came on the court, the two teams only played 5:6 in the 8 minutes of the game. It is conceivable how low the offensive efficiency is.

The only good thing is that Van Gundy pressed Li Chengming on the bench to rest for a while, but at this stage of the rotation, he directly took up the offensive banner again. Scored 5 points and led the team to a 6:0, forcing the Lakers to immediately call a timeout.

Director Zhang was surprised and said: "Li Chengming's state today is really amazing. The Lakers are indeed a little loose on his defense, focusing on single defense, but every time he comes on the court, he can directly play a personal wave. .”

Sun Zhengping sighed: "The Lakers really don't consider changing their defensive strategy. If this continues, it is really possible for Li Chengming to score high points and let the Magic win."

"The Lakers' offense has come down. If they can't defend anymore, they may have to go far in this game..."

The Lakers also know this, and Kobe knows that he should stand up at this time.He took the ball and started running the pick-and-roll with Gasol.

Phil Jackson's famous work is the triangle offensive tactic, which does not mean that he only knows this set of tactics, not to mention that the triangle offense also contains some specious changes.

And Gasol, as a Spaniard, played the Spanish pick-and-roll at his fingertips. Through his support and scheduling, Kobe used his flexible running position to get the chance to shoot at the basket.

The Magic's defense has been torn open, and this is something that can't be helped. Any kind of defense will have weak points that are neglected, and sometimes even have to release part of it, and it is impossible to take care of all of them.

There has never been a truly impenetrable defense, and even the effectiveness of the defense depends on how the opponent's offense is played.

A very clever part of the Lakers' game is that they played a lot of tactical changes, and they don't insist on relying on the personal ability of the stars to solve the problem, which will make the Magic's defense tired.

But the biggest problem now is that they still can't prevent Li Chengming.

"Li Chengming hit again in the low post singles. He scored another 8 points after he came up. He was about to go to 40 points. Now it is the third quarter, and the third quarter is not over yet. Will Li Chengming be able to score at the end of today?" How many points?"

Li Chengming has only played 20 minutes so far, and his scoring is almost twice as much as his playing time.

The home fans are going crazy at this time, they like to see the victory, they like to see the home championship, and they also like to see the stars soaring points.

What's more, Li Chengming is now the darling of Orlando, and the support and love of local fans for him is really increasing every moment.

The ESPN commentator couldn't help but said: "LI is about to conquer the Amway Center today. Seeing the cheers from the audience, he is the 'king' here tonight!"

The Lakers called a timeout again, but when everyone thought that they would arrange new defensive tactics this time to target Li Chengming, they did not expect that they would remain the same without any change.

It's just that Kobe was a little anxious at this time. When Li Chengming faced Odom again to perform singles, he suddenly came up and grabbed it. Li Chengming wanted to pass the ball to Turkoglu, but Kobe missed it by a hair. The tip touched it.

In the end, Kobe and Turkoglu grabbed each other at the same time, and they even rolled around on the ground, while Li Chengming and Odom all gathered around to look for opportunities to start.

At this point in the fight, both sides are actually a little bit over the top, they only have the ball in their eyes, and they don't seem to be so scrupulous about their actions.

The referees had to come up and blow the whistle to separate them, and finally awarded a point for both sides.

Seeing this scene, Xu Chengji suddenly said: "In the last game, Kobe's flying save suddenly inspired the fighting spirit of all the members of the Lakers team, allowing them to overtake the score with momentum in the fourth quarter, and finally win the game. Copy the previous game?"

Some fans also jumped in their hearts when they heard this, and wanted to call him to shut up his crow's mouth.

However, during the jump ball, the Turks helped the Magic protect the possession of the ball, which gave everyone a little peace of mind.

But then Turkoglu's pass still made a mistake. This time, Ariza and Odom jointly intercepted the pass. Farmar happened to pick up a pass by the side, and then looked at the forward who had already sprinted. Kobe Bryant wanted to make a direct assist with a long throw, but was destroyed by Evans and went out of bounds. At least they didn't have a chance to make an easy fast break this time.
