Chapter 403
At the start of the fourth quarter, the Magic still had a 3-point lead, a very slight advantage.
James was still on the court at this time, so he took some time off in the first half, and almost played the second half. It seems that he also knows the importance of this game and must win.
Otherwise, returning to the Magic's home court after the end of the game, the advantage of the penalty will be lost, and it will be even more difficult.
Van Gundy has also disrupted the rotation here, and it turned out that Li Chengming was facing James again on the court.
Li Chengming scored 24 points in the first half. In the third quarter, the opponent double-teamed too much, giving the Magic a lot of opportunities from the outside.
But whether it is connecting the teams or on the defensive end, Li Chengming has done a very good job, and it can even be reflected in the bright data layout.
On the first attack in this quarter, James held the ball at the top of the arc, and the rest of the Cavaliers opened up space for him to break through.
As a result, facing Li Chengming, he took two steps back and stayed on the spot for a long time without taking any action. Seeing that the time was approaching, he suddenly broke through from the right. Li Chengming knew at a glance that he was going to split the ball, and immediately retreated. And guard, give him a certain shot space.
James stopped and forcibly made an emergency stop and missed a jump shot. Both his posture and arc seemed awkward. Li Chengming turned his head and directly recovered the backboard to protect him.
Also at the top of the arc, facing Delonte West's defense, Li Chengming glanced intentionally or unintentionally at James, who was akimbo in the corner next to him, feeling quite speechless in his heart.
West is 193cm tall and is actually a bit shorter in the second position. Although his confrontation and defense are good, it is definitely not the case for him to face Li Chengming, who is a head taller and weighs more than 100 pounds than him funny?
Of course, no one in the Cavaliers can defend against Li Chengming. Ben Wallace's body has deteriorated significantly, Joe Smith's brain is not good enough, Varejao is too weak in confrontation, and Big Z moves slowly. In addition, the Cavaliers don't have any forwards of sufficient size.
You can't let Szczerbiak face Li Chengming, right?
James avoids and does not defend, which is tantamount to dumping the blame on his teammates. The inside line can't stand Howard and Li Chengming, and the outside line can't look down on Nelson and Turkoglu.
Of course, Li Chengming would not condone such a cowardly move, and he didn't even take a step forward. He directly raised his hand and made a three-point shot. Before the opponent had time to decide whether to double-team.
After all, this is two steps away from the three-point line!
But Li Chengming has always been the one who dares to shoot if you dare to let it go. What's more, this is indeed within his range. Although the posture of this ball is not very good-looking, it is right on target, and the net is just like waves when you swipe it. Roll for a while.
"James made Li Chengming defend the ball, and then Li Chengming hit a three-pointer. Here and there, it was 5 or 6 points..."
"The Cavaliers really can't guard Li Chengming, but they must also put pressure on him. Let him make such an easy shot, which is no different from surrender."
"James wants the ball, let's see if he will come back and beat Li Chengming..."
But he chose to pass the ball. Szczerbiak missed a three-pointer from the bottom corner. His playing time dropped rapidly.
If this continues, no one will want him next season.
Looking back, Li Chengming faced West with the ball at the top of the arc. West was more focused this time, and even watched Li Chengming start to cling to him before he reached the three-point line.
But the difference in height was there, and when Li Chengming made another three-pointer without hesitation, West reacted this time, and stepped forward to interfere, but it didn't work at all.
Li Chengming was not the kind of confrontation that would be disrupted by him, and even this time he rushed forward too hard and was fouled.
Then--
brush!
The orange elf drew a beautiful parabola in the air, swiped through the net, and pierced the needle hollowly.
"Strong shot! Li Chengming's two consecutive chasing three-pointers are all counterattacks after the Magic's successful defense, and this time there will be an additional penalty. If they also hit, the Magic will lead by 10 points!"
It is estimated that even the referees did not expect that in the fourth quarter, they gave them such a blow, and then they worked so hard in the first three quarters that their tongues were numb. Isn't it a waste of effort?
Forget it, I'm tired, I can't save it, I'll die, I'll be destroyed...
Li Chengming missed an additional free throw, James got the rebound and quickly counterattacked, but the Magic retreated quickly, especially Howard had already been waiting in the half court, so he could only slow down and re-arrange the attack.
But sometimes it is like this, the more they are afraid of something, the more they will do it, it is like a domino effect, when there is a gap in their offense and defense, it is like a flood leaking, directly washing away the entire team.
After another missed attack and the Magic launched a fast break, Williams had to hold someone back to stop him, the overall morale of the Cavaliers dropped sharply, and the fans at home seemed to have foreseen something.
Even if Mike Brown called two timeouts in a short period of time, he couldn't stop this inexplicable decline.
On the contrary, Li Chengming, who scored two three-pointers in a row and scored 33 points, then returned to the previous regular style of play, but the Cavaliers were so frightened by him. I don't know how many outside and inside positions.
Even if their offense began to recover in the second half, James and Szczerbiak both hit three-pointers, but at this time they were 15 points behind, which was of no avail.
In the last 1 minute, it was only able to catch up to 11 points. In the offensive round of the Magic, when Li Chengming pressed the time to 24 seconds before passing out after being double-teamed, Turkoglu immediately made a three-pointer after receiving the ball. At that time, there is no more suspense and no miracle.
At the end of the game, the Magic finally won an away game, with a total score of 3:1, and they were only one game away from advancing.
李成名出战39分钟,砍下33分12篮板15助攻的超级三双,同时还有4抢断3盖帽,数据华丽表现全面。
霍华德虽然六犯离场,但还是拿到了22分16篮板,尼尔森20分7助攻,刘易斯和特科格鲁都拿到了15分,甚至巴莫特都得到了4分3篮板2抢断1盖帽的不错数据,只出场了6分钟。
骑士队那边,詹姆斯27中11,三分9中3,罚球19中14拿到39分10篮板8助攻,但他的失误也达到了惊人的10次,完成了一个另类“三双”数据。
As for the CBA teammates who worked hard, Z9 scored 5 points and 12 rebounds in 9 of 17, West scored 7 points and 18 assists, Xiao Mo scored 5 points, Varejao made 6 steals and fought [-] fouls, it is really bad , couldn't provide any help at all, and was completely played by the Magic.
At the end of this game, those Cavaliers won a game and felt that they had hope of a comeback, and the voice of clamoring for the finals "23VS24" suddenly disappeared again.
Li Chengming and the others returned to Orlando after the interview, and many fans happily came out to pick them up.
Although they have already won the first championship, the fans are not so easy to be satisfied. If they have one, they want to have two, and they want three, four, five, six, seven.
Now the Magic is one step away from the finals, and the hope of defending the title is great.
And being able to return to the home court to end the series is what makes Orlando fans the happiest. Play one more game, so that they can witness it with their own eyes in the arena, and share this joy with the team and players in time.
Although Li Chengming and the others were very tired, they still agreed to the fans who came forward to ask for autographs and group photos. After all, they are still waiting here at this point.
After getting ready to rest for two days, Amy also came to Orlando ahead of time, and Li Chengming also lived in the love nest of the two that night.
By the next day, the news of the battle report had spread all over the world. In the eyes of the outside world, the Magic could declare victory in advance and enter the finals to wait for their opponents in the West to decide.
At this time, the Lakers and the Nuggets were tied 2:2. This match looked evenly matched. Except for the last game where the Nuggets won by double digits, the two teams played to the end of the first three games, basically winning. hope.
On the evening of the 27th, Game 31 of the Western Conference Finals began. The Lakers took down Tianwangshan with all their might. Anthony scored [-] points and lost. For the Nuggets, it was even more difficult.
They must try their best to return to the home court to defeat the Lakers and drag the game into the tiebreaker. Although there is little hope, there is still some.
The sixth game will be their life and death battle, "WIN OR HOME".
Although, this game itself was played at "HOME".
For the Cavaliers, the next fifth game is a life-and-death battle. Compared with the Nuggets, they still have a home court advantage, but they are playing away this time.
And even the penalties started to be a bit unfavorable to them at the beginning-the so-called not taking advantage of the whistle is a disadvantage, so not taking advantage of the whistle is tantamount to a penalty penalty, "away whistle".
In the first quarter of the Magic team, the momentum was like a rainbow. Li Chengming continued the good form of the previous game. He scored 22 points with full firepower and made 7 of 7 shots, including 2 of 2 three-pointers and 6 of 6 free throws. 35:25 The lead reached double digits.
In the second quarter, the Magic chased after the victory. Turkoglu, Lewis, and Pietrus hit three-pointers one after another. It rained three-pointers at the Amway Center, which kept the Cavaliers' momentum of chasing points suppressed, and they couldn't take the lead at all.
Li Chengming scored another 8 points and scored 30 points in the halftime. At the same time, he also had 7 assists and 5 rebounds. He was about to get a triple-double—the premise is that the Cavaliers can hold on in the second half.
At halftime, the Magic extended their lead to nearly 72 points with 46:[-], basically announcing the end of the game in advance.
The home fans stood up and rejoiced at the end of halftime, celebrating in advance, as if they had won the championship.
At halftime, Van Gundy naturally told his disciples not to take it lightly and be careful.
However, he was also relieved in his heart. He originally thought that this alliance might still be guaranteed, but he didn't expect them to give up directly.
And in the case of the referee not intervening, the gap between the Magic and the Cavaliers is almost visible to the naked eye, and the personal abilities of the players alone are not as good.
Neither James nor Li Chengming and Howard can fully exchange their sons. The gap between the other teammates is actually not that big.
To put it simply, even if the Magic lacks Li Chengming or Howard, they are still very likely to beat the Cavaliers, but it will be a little more troublesome, not to mention both of them are present.
Not to mention that the Magic has retained the championship lineup, and the overall running-in and team understanding are far better than the Cavaliers.
Of course, the gap would not be so big at halftime, but after the Magic team's rain of three-pointers opened up the score after consecutive misses in the second quarter, I felt unmotivated.
Back in the second half, the two sides reversed. The Magic's touch dropped, while the Cavaliers gradually found their outside touch. West, Williams and even Gibson hit three-pointers one after another, narrowing the point difference to 14 points in the third quarter.
However, Howard stood up and frequently attacked the basket to cause damage, and sometimes reached 2+1, stabilizing the situation.
So by the end of the third quarter, the Cavaliers were still 20 points behind.
In the fourth quarter, it seemed that they finally realized that standing on the edge of a cliff with one foot, they had to fight desperately, and the atmosphere on the field suddenly became full of gunpowder. Stabilized the situation a little.
However, the Magic led too much, coupled with the fact that they were not on the court a little bit, and played a little loosely, and a lot of points were recovered in the first half of the fourth quarter.
Seeing a little dangerous, Van Gundy had to bring the main force back to the field.
But the momentum of the Cavaliers seems to have returned. With James and West layups, the point difference came to 11 points, and Van Gundy had to call another timeout.
