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

Chapter 83 40+
At 1 minute and 53 seconds, Turkoglu held the ball at the top of the arc, facing Granger's defense.

Today, when the two were facing each other, it was almost the same to say that Granger beat Turkoglu, and it was on both ends of the offense and defense.

The playing styles of the two are not the same, but what is more consistent is that they are not the kind of fast-paced, physical flow, and the result is a little mutual restraint.

In fact, Granger may not have played better than Bitkoglu today, excluding the three-pointer. It can only be said that the peaks and troughs of the two have collided.

And when Turkoglu himself can't open this point, it's not easy to help his teammates create opportunities.

However, when Li Chengming was on the court, he could be a green leaf with peace of mind and hang the ball high. Li Chengming was blocked by Foster, and he cut directly to the basket. Foster jumped up to block it, but still Li Chengming touched the basketball first, and immediately threw the ball high with one hand when Foster pressed him over.

beep!
Of course the ball missed, but it caused Foster's foul, and Li Chengming was about to go to the free throw line.

"Oh, my God!"

"It's unbelievable, Li went crazy today!"

"Today God came to Amway Arena wearing jersey number 60!"

"After these two free throws, Li's total score will reach 39, which is only one goal away from 40+. There is still time in the game. Can he successfully enter the 40+ club today?"

"Li Chengming is less than 20 years old this year. If calculated according to time...he should be one of the youngest players to score 40+ points!"

"Wait, who was the last player to score 40+ in his rookie season?"

"Hey... To be precise, there should be two, because the interval between them is only three days..."

"Cameron and LeBron!"

……

Li Chengming walked to the free throw line and made two free throws steadily. Although his free throws in a single game this season are still not high, but not counting this game, his shooting percentage is as high as 89%. After this game, it may exceed [-]%. .

This is definitely the best choice for an inside player, let alone all NBA players.

At 1 minute and 36 seconds, Granger caught the ball and made a false pass to Foster. Foster relied on Li Chengming's height and made a layup. At 109:112, the Magic still led by 3 points.

After the two sides fought each other, finally at 44 seconds, Tinsley made a hit to narrow the score to 1 point again.

Director Sun said: "At this stage, it is more confident to hand the ball to Li Chengming. Others either hit the iron or make mistakes."

Zhang guided: "At the critical moment of the game, it should be for the stars to stand up, or for players like Li Chengming who are in good condition in a single game. Helping them create opportunities for singles is a more reasonable way of playing. The problem now is How to pass the ball."

The Magic have such experience, but they will naturally not easily try a more risky lob when they have a better opportunity.

There was no guarantee that he would not be intercepted by the opponent every time. The most important thing was that Li Chengming himself was not tall enough, and it was impossible for him to jump around like those talented monsters.

But after Van Gundy gave instructions from the sidelines, the players on the court signaled that they knew, and then Li Chengming pulled out to cover Turkoglu, and then directly received the ball at the corner of the Magic team and quickly opened the way. He singles on the weak side.

Li Chengming has the ability to shoot beyond the three-point line, and it is impossible for opponents to take it lightly. When other Magic players open up space for him, it is difficult for the Pacers to double-team easily.

"In the last half minute, Li Chengming has to score the goal himself! This is probably the Magic's last chance to attack. Now there is only one point between the two sides. Whether Li Chengming can score this goal is very important."

"The Pacers dare not go forward to double-team. Now that Lewis and Bogans are on the court, and Howard is on the side to find opportunities for cover, as long as they step forward to help defend, Li Chengming's pass to the outside is an opportunity."

"Li Chengming made a move!"

After Li Chengming observed the positions of his teammates, he knew what he knew, and then immediately leaned his back against Foster.

Jim O'Brien obviously also warned that when Li Chengming played back singles, the limited vision was the most suitable time for them to go forward and double-team.

But Li Chengming had already shot a fadeaway jumper before the double-team was formed.

There was nothing he could do about Foster's side. He was so crushed that he couldn't stand up. His size and height meant that he was not as flexible as Li Chengming, and naturally he couldn't keep up with Li Chengming's reaction speed.

In this state, giving Li Chengming room to shoot is similar to letting him open for a layup.

brush!
"40+! 40+! Li has already scored 41 points. This is the first 40 points of this rookie class."

"He became the first rookie in the 07 draft to score 40+ points in a single game, and broke the scoring record of a second-round pick in his rookie season. He is also the second Chinese player to score 40+ points in the NBA. It is also the youngest 40+ scorer after LeBron.

"It's unbelievable. Orlando Smith, the general manager of the Magic, probably wouldn't have thought that the decision he made in this year's draft would bring such a big surprise. He will definitely reward the Chinese favorite Lee's scout!"

"In the No.20 regular season game of his career, Li CM, who came off the bench, scored a new career high, and just a few days ago, he just scored 31 points in the Staples Arena. In just a few minutes, he set a new scoring record for individuals and rookies. Li's current performance will definitely create suspense in the competition for the best rookie..."

"Prior to this, the scoring record of Huaguo players in a single game in the NBA was terrible. In his second year as a rookie, Houston scored 41 points at home against the Eagles. In that game, he made 21 of 15 shots and scored 41 points and 16 rebounds. With 7 assists, the game went into three overtimes, and three insiders on the opposite side were beaten by him to six fouls.

"After this game, there is finally the second Huaguo player to get this score, and it was completed in regular time. Li set a new record. In this game, except for the first three shots, he did not miss a single shot behind him, a total of 20. 17 shots, one three-pointer and six free throws, also scored 6 points."

"LeBron James, who entered the NBA after graduating from high school, is the youngest record holder of 40+ points in history. Behind him is Carmelo Anthony, who was also drafted in the 03 draft. He is only 19 years old and 178 days old. Li CM, replaced Anthony and came to the second position."

"He is also the fastest player to score 40+ points in the NBA. He completed this achievement in only [-] games."

"At the same time, he also came off the bench. Although this did not make it into the top ten of the list, considering that he completed this achievement as a rookie, this will also be an unprecedented achievement."

It's very simple, because in the rookie season, those who can score 40+ points are basically the key training targets of the team. Otherwise, you don't even have the right to shoot. Even if you have that ability, 2 and 30 points are normal, and 40 points is another. It's a matter of one level. It must have the help of the team's coach and teammates, and even the cooperation of the opponent.

For example, James and Anthony were set up as the core as soon as they entered the team. Although the Cavaliers had a "I thought he was here to assist me" Davis who didn't know how to live or die, he was quickly kicked out. It proved the team's determination to cultivate the champion.

The scariest thing is Allen Iverson. He also entered the NBA as the No. 5 pick. He scored 40+ points five times in his first season. He has won the scoring title four times in a single season, averaging 30+ points per game. There are 5 times.

With a height of less than 1.9 meters, it is even more amazing than Kobe to be able to accomplish such an achievement in the NBA where there are so many people.

Perhaps because of this, "Answer" has a large number of fans all over the world where the NBA spreads, because "everyone who has watched the game knows how strong he is."

The same is true for Durant of the Supersonics. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the team gave him unlimited shooting rights. In the first season, he was directly allowed to practice without considering the record. Fear of hitting iron.

The outside world had always been optimistic that he would be the first to score 40 points, and they were even guessing which game, but it turned out that Li Chengming's Zion won the first place.

After Li Chengming hit the ball, the scene also started to shout, and there were even fragmentary shouts of "MVP" among the fans.

Of course, it's not uncommon for Howard, Turkoglu, and even Nelson to have been treated this way before.

But the game is not over yet, the Pacers are 3 points behind, with more than a dozen seconds left, they still have the last chance to attack.

"The Pacers paused and came back to serve in the frontcourt to see if they wanted to shoot a three-pointer or a quick two-pointer..."

The Magic still maintained their original defensive strategy. Of course, Li Chengming was replaced first, and the defensive lineup headed by Howard was replaced.

The Pacers almost violated the five-second serve. After Grant came out to catch the ball, there were less than 10 seconds left after a round of switching. Grant used the screen to break through and intended to pass the ball outside, but was cut by Lewis. Then he snatched it back again.

The whistle sounded while the two were scrambling for the ball, and the referee indicated that Lewis was fouled. Lewis clasped his head in his arms to argue, but nothing could be changed.

In the end, Grant was allowed to go to the free throw line, but the key free throw Grant made two free throws. After Howard protected the rebound, the Pacers quickly chose to foul and send him to the free throw line.

"Howard's free throw efficiency in front of him is still good. At the critical moment, it may be... oops, the first free throw was missed..."

This made the side supporting the Magic fall into a sense of crisis. After all, Howard has a "criminal record".

As for the second free throw, it was obvious that Howard was under more pressure. After closing his eyes and taking a deep breath, he felt his hands were stiff when he made the shot. As a result, he missed the second free throw and didn't grab a rebound.

Fortunately, there was no timeout for the Pacers, and the Magic retreated quickly, without giving the opponent a chance to make a quick attack.

In the last few seconds, the backcourt could not be pressed. After receiving the ball from the top of the arc, Grant immediately sent the ball to the double-team. At the last moment, Tinsley caught the ball and made a three-pointer from the outside——
