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

Chapter 391
"Friends from the audience, welcome to CCTV Sports Channel. Today I will bring you the 2008-09 regular season of the NBA. The defending champion Magic will face the Eagles at home, which is also their opponent in the first round of last season's playoffs.

"There are a lot of things to watch in this game. How is the lineup adjustment effect of Li Chengming starting and Turkoglu coming off the bench? The Eagles have signed in the new season, and their rookies have also improved. Can the young ones go further this season and repeat the Magic team? Myth? And what kind of performance will Maurice Evans have when he returns to the home court to face his old club...

"Of course, compared to these, the biggest highlight today is that the Magic will receive their championship ring in the home opener. NBA President David Stern even came to the scene in person, expressing his importance to this scene At the same time, the legends of the Magic, Nick Anderson and Anfernee Hardaway also came to the scene.

"There are still some 'old faces' on the sidelines. For example, Li Chengming's girlfriend and Hollywood actress Amy Adams is well-known now. The movie "Suspicion of Child Abuse" she participated in will also be released this month, and the praise continues. ..."

Before the game, Li Chengming also talked to Amy on the sidelines for a while, and the sweet interaction between the two made the fans on the sidelines cheer.

And when it came to the part of awarding the rings, as the names were called out one by one, and the championship rings were taken from the boss one after another to display, the noise in the Amway Center Arena was also wave after wave.

The cameras also went out of their way to capture the envy on the faces of the Eagles players waiting in the visiting tunnel as Maurice Evans received his ring.

I don't know whether I envy the Magic or the teammate Evans.

When the ring session was over, Nelson spoke as the captain and player representative, and the owner and general manager jointly issued a declaration of defending the title for the new season, which caused a big commotion among the fans, and the stands on all sides became a blue ocean of joy.

This is probably one of the very few regular seasons when everyone consciously puts on uniform uniforms. It is also a way to show that the fans and the team are standing together at this moment.

When the exciting part finally passed, it was time for the official competition.

"Okay, the game is about to start. Players from both teams have entered the field. Let's take a look at the starting lineups of both teams..."

The Magic have successfully established their own starting lineup in the preseason. The newcomer Pietrus will serve as the No. [-] starter, and Li Chengming will be transferred to the starting lineup. The other three starting lines will be the same as last season.

Li Chengming is now playing the small forward position, the same as when he was in the national team. It may be that Van Gundy has seen his performance in the Huaguo men's basketball team, so he has also begun to increase his role in holding the ball.

However, because there is still a big difference between Turkoglu and Turkoglu's style, the play style of this lineup will definitely change. Li Chengming's breakthroughs will be less, and more will be supporting passes after attracting pincers in low singles. , There is actually no essential difference from last season.

After all, it is a style of play that has been proven to work, and there is nothing wrong with it, so there is no need to take the initiative to change it.

For the Eagles, compared with last season's starting lineup, except for Maurice Evans who replaced the second position, the other four players have not changed.

Point guard Mike Bibby, small forward Joe Johnson, fourth and fifth positions are Josh Smith and Al Horford respectively. Horford has experienced the baptism of his rookie season. The top three performers among the rookies last season, he is worthy of his name as a prospect, and now he has secured the team's starting position.

At the start of the jump ball, Howard won the first wave of ball rights, and the Magic's new season journey also kicked off.

In the first quarter, the two sides played more tentatively, and the scores were not high. At 22:25, the Magic temporarily led by 3 points.

After a season's journey, after less than two months of rest, he will return to the team to prepare for the training camp. Moreover, Li Chengming and Howard have worked hard in the national team and have basically never rested. I was so excited when I received the ring, but the fight was rather dull.

In the first quarter, Li Chengming didn't take many shots, 4 of 2, no three-pointers or two shots, but he sent out 3 assists.

Lewis didn't feel good. He only hit one three-pointer in 5 shots, which wasted a lot of scoring opportunities for Li Chengming and Howard. On the contrary, Howard provoked the leading scorer and scored 8 points and 6 rebounds. It is estimated that he could have a double-double in the half. .

Horford and Howard, although there is only one word difference in the translated names, but one is a monster, and the other may only be regarded as a beast. The gap is too great.

Howard caught a rotten persimmon, so why not bully him to death?
In the first quarter, two blocks were sent out, which also caused Horford to end the field early with two fouls.

It's just that the free throws are still old-fashioned, 6 of 3, which is good.

In the first half of the second quarter, Turkoglu led the team. This is very similar to the way the Magic played last season. The difference is that Li Chengming was replaced by Turkoglu.

It's a pity that the Turks didn't feel good today, and they didn't play as expected. Although the hits were not bad, they made 2 mistakes and gave the opponent a score. Instead, the Eagles overtook by 3 points.

When the main players of the Magic team returned to the field one after another, after the second quarter, it became the final lineup of last season, and the situation suddenly reversed again.

First, Li Chengming received the ball from the outside and flicked, dribbled a step to the free throw line and succeeded in a jumper. When he came back, Howard sent another block. Turkoglu received the ball and passed it to Nelson. Nelson hit a layup.

Little Fatty's technical moves are not beautiful, but his basic skills are very solid, and the most important thing is being able to punch in.

Then the two teams gained each other, and when Bibby broke through the ball in one round, Li Chengming and Howard contracted at the same time, causing his pass error. The Magic did not achieve a fast break, but Li Chengming and Howard completed the pick and roll. He made an alley-oop, widened the point difference to 7 points, and stopped the opponent.

This wave of 11:3 offense seems to have brought the fans back to last season, especially the wonderful cooperation between Li Chengming and Howard, which can be regarded as breaking the outside world's doubts about their relationship.

In fact, even Howard is not immature enough to not perform well in order to compete with Li Chengming. They are all professional players. There is no conflict between their positions and abilities. The most important thing is to cooperate with each other to develop their strengths. , It's not good for both parties if they really want to fight.

What's more, this is still the beginning of the regular season, even if there are conflicts, they will not intensify so quickly.

After a timeout, the Eagles had a problem with their first attack. The defensive line formed by Li Chengming and Howard suffocated Smith.

At the end of the half, the Magic had widened the point difference to double digits, and after just a few minutes of strong performance, the Eagles were completely suppressed and unable to resist.

The Chinese and American commentators couldn't help but sigh: "The Magic team is too strong!"

Strong or not, they must have a reason not to lose today.

After the intermission, Li Chengming, who seemed to have adjusted his exhausted emotions and re-adapted to the NBA, broke out in the third quarter.

The Olympic scoring champion came to the arena, combining sudden shots, 8 of 7 shots, 5 of 5 free throws, and scored 20 points in a single quarter.

Because the Eagles' defensive center of gravity was tilted towards Howard's side. Instead, they were demolishing the east wall to make up for the west wall. As a result, Li Chengming's side was left out. Overwhelmed.

After readjusting in the fourth quarter, he still wanted to struggle, and even used the hacking tactics.

It is worth mentioning that in the new season, the NBA officially issued new rules for this foul tactic, especially in view of the crazy foul performances of the Magic's opponents in the playoffs last year, which restricted it. For Howard and the Magic , which is obviously a benefit.

The Eagles also lost hard, even if they have been booed at home, they don't mind.

However, the hole they dug in the third quarter was really too big. With a 17-point difference, they managed to catch up to 9 points with the slashing tactics. In a blink of an eye, Pietrus and Turkoglu wiped out the suspense with one three-pointer each. .

In the final home opener, the Magic beat the Eagles 108:92 and got off to a good start to the new season.

李成名全场出战33分钟，17投14中高效拿到38分，霍华德21分16篮板6助攻5抢断5盖帽，数据华丽得不真实。

The new aid Pietrus was also very eye-catching, scoring 4 points with 15 three-pointers.
