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

Chapter 31 Li Chengming's Weakness (22)

Of course Li Chengming had a bright smile on his face at this time. In fact, when he saw the task of the system, he refused. You can’t tell me to defend James and I will defend. I must see if I can defend.

Then now I find that I can defend myself, at least a little bit.

Regardless of whether James will challenge himself to play next time, Li Chengming feels that it is not a loss if he succeeds this time.

James was naturally furious. The moment he stood up, Li Chengming looked in his eyes and almost thought that he was going to come over and bully him.

But James, what a gentleman he is, it is naturally impossible to do something that conflicts with others on the court, let alone a rookie like Li Chengming.

In order to safeguard the glory of the king, he chose to forgive Li Chengming for his disrespectful behavior.

Disdain!

This is just a gift from the king, just take it.

Just glanced at Li Chengming, and James let his teammates serve and continue to attack.

Now the Cavaliers are still ahead, they can't mess up by themselves.

However, Li Chengming's goal is very effective in boosting the morale of the Magic. A beautiful offense and defense can easily boost morale, so sometimes stars need to play at critical moments, because they can not only score but also score. beautiful.

Not to mention that Li Chengming used a rookie to overthrow the core of the opponent James. Then the Magic actually stabilized the situation when Howard and Nelson were not on the court. a bit.

At the end of the third quarter, the Magic only trailed the Cavaliers by three points 69:72. Among them, Li Chengming made another mid-range shot and a two-point free throw from the free throw line, scoring 7 points and becoming the leader of this period. Great hero.

So Van Gundy thought about it at the beginning of the fourth quarter, and kept Li Chengming on the court, but moved to the fourth position.

But he returned to his familiar position, but he didn't get an opportunity to perform right away, because Turkoglu scored six points in a row at this time, and one of the goals was related to Li Chengming. He grabbed the offensive rebound and passed it back. Turkoglu catches the ball and throws it directly.

The Magic took the lead until Li Chengming went off the field again. With more than seven minutes left in the fourth quarter, the Magic temporarily led by 77 points at 75:2. In the long four minutes, the Cavaliers only relied on Shannon Brown made a three-pointer.

To be honest, even Van Gundy was a little surprised, because Li Chengming did not become a breakthrough on the defensive end during this period, but on offense, his ball transfer was much better than he imagined.

In the previous team training, Li Chengming actually had problems passing the ball when he was disturbed by the defense, especially when the weak side was singled out and had to transfer the ball to the strong side. There were many mistakes.

After all, NBA players are not as lacking in tactical literacy and awareness as domestic college students. They are very professional in blocking space and passing routes. The set of college students is naturally impossible.

After these hours of training, Li Chengming naturally discovered his own problems early on, and began to sum up his experience.

Although he dare not say how much progress he has made now, he also knows that he can rely on his teammates. After all, his current teammates are no longer the waste that he needed to carry all his strength.

After Li Chengming went off the court, the main players of the two teams actually returned to the court one after another. Redick didn’t feel very good. In the end, Van Gundy chose to put Garrity on the court. He can also shoot three-pointers and can replace Lewis to a certain extent. role.

After all, this game has been entangled until now, and neither side wants to give up the unimportant outcome now.

More than three minutes later, the two teams tied at 84. The Cavaliers' role players exploded. Anthony Toliver and Ira Newbell hit consecutive shots, and Van Gundy had to call a timeout.

Looking at the players in a circle, Van Gundy thought for a while, then suddenly called Li Chengming over, and then began to arrange.

"Remember our tactics, play more inside, pay more attention to the transmission of the ball. The defensive end must also defend, help me control LeBron's pass, let me see your energy!"

"YES SIR!"

"OK, go out and win this victory!"

Returning to the field, Li Chengming replaced Garrity this time. This is the first time in the preseason that the coach put himself on the field at the last critical moment. This is also an expression of trust, even if it is only this game.

Seeing Li Chengming's replacement at this time, the others were very surprised, and the audience was naturally very excited. After all, they wanted to see Li Chengming play now, and the victory or defeat was second.

The ball that Lee hit James before becoming famous has become a classic in their minds and has begun to be played on a loop.

The head coach of the Cavaliers is Mike Brown. He has a bald head and wears glasses. He has a kind face. At this time, he watched Li Chengming play from the sidelines and just stayed for a while, then fell silent, as if he wanted to imitate Zen master, it's a pity that the eyes are not in place, there is no fugue wandering in the void, and the sense of mystery is missing.

James fans just feel heartbroken. How come the team has such a coach? When will I, James, meet a famous coach?
"Okay, the game has restarted..."

The two commentators who were also screaming for Li Chengming's goal before, laughed when they saw Li Chengming playing again in the CCTV live broadcast room.

Although I feel that the Magic coach gave Li Chengming more opportunities today to please the domestic fans, but they are still very satisfied, especially Li Chengming's performance is not bad, so they are even more satisfied.

The live broadcast just now has been replaying the ball, replaying every timeout, and the two of them also talked about the hype. Those who didn't know thought that this game was led by Li Chengming. In fact, Howard is now the one with the highest score. and Nielsen.

"Let's take a look at the Magic's next attack. There are still more than three minutes to go. The score of the two teams has been biting tightly. It may be a stalemate until the end--excuse me, Li Chengming came up and received the ball in the low post , against Gooden."

The Cavaliers' defense is still very reliable. Mike Brown may hand over the offense to James, and he is not very good on the spot, but there is still a way to tune the defense, not to mention that the Cavaliers have gathered so many defensive elites.

They were able to reach the finals last season, relying on the league's best defense, but on the offensive side, because Hughes doesn't seem to fit well with this James-centered system, making the top 20+ scorer have not been able to show With the expected strength, in the end, you can only play the single-core that James takes care of.

It was precisely because of the monotony of the offensive play and the flaws in James' shooting that the Spurs caught him that he was swept cleanly in the finals.

However, although Gooden restricted Duncan with Big Z and others in the finals in June and let Shi Fu's FMVP fly away, he seemed unsustainable in the face of Li Chengming.

Of course, after receiving the ball, Li Chengming also felt very uncomfortable facing Gooden's turbulent hands behind him from time to time. He wanted to find a comfortable angle to shoot, but the opponent obviously would not easily give him this opportunity. In addition, the situation was different at this time. Every attack is very important to the team, and Li Chengming still made the choice he felt was the best.

Seeing Li Chengming passing the ball back to Turkoglu on the sidelines, Van Gundy shook his head secretly.

Although I know that asking him to shoulder the burden of the team now is a bit difficult, and this choice is not a problem, it is very reasonable, but it seems that Li Chengming still does not have enough confidence in himself, or he is guilty at the critical moment.

The fans were also a little disappointed, they wanted to see Li Chengming play by himself.

The two commentators in the CCTV live broadcast room began to speak for Li Chengming: "This ball, the choice is very reasonable. The position Li Chengming wants is not deep enough. Gooden is still very experienced in defense. There are still people on the side who may interfere at any time. Li Chengming It's right not to shoot directly, it would be better to pass back and reorganize."

After Nelson used the pick-and-roll to break through and assist Howard for a dunk, Director Zhang immediately said: "Hey, doesn't this ball prove that Li Chengming's choice is correct, and he should re-transmit it. There is a more reasonable way of scoring. Li Chengming It also gave enough threats from the side, so that the Cavaliers did not dare to approach and press easily..."

Now Li Chengming's fans couldn't help but want to roll their eyes when they heard it. Cooperating with Li Chengming to fart can be said to help the team win opportunities, right?
After a few offensive and defensive rounds, the Magic still led the Cavaliers by two points. At this time, Devin Brown came out to receive a pass from James and was about to kill the basket, but Li Chengming and Turkoglu immediately stepped forward encircled.

In fact, this goal had an omen ahead, because there was an almost identical scoring routine in front of it, and it was rare for Li Chengming to form a tacit understanding with his teammates.

Brown wanted to pass back to James again, but Li Chengming blocked it with his body, stretched his arms and intercepted the ball.

Nelson's short legs were already moving fast ahead, but James was the first to catch up.

Li Chengming made a lob that crossed the half court. For him, he didn't need special practice for this kind of pass. He heard too many passes before. Nelson caught it very comfortably. Before James arrived, he made a standard three-step layup. hit.

At 89:85, the score was stretched to 4 points.

At this time, there are 18 seconds left in the time, and the outcome of the game has been decided.
