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

Chapter 45

As a lottery pick, Tian Yi's talent is really there. The Bucks are mainly training this season, so they are naturally willing to give him the opportunity to practice more.

Especially in the third home game against the Bulls, the UAE scored 33 points in 16 minutes. Although the efficiency is still not high, it can help the team win, which is also a good start.

There were wins and losses in the subsequent games, but the playing time of UAE was stable at about 30 minutes, and the performance was not bad, but the fouls could not be controlled.

To be honest, Li Chengming was a little envious of him when he knew about it. He didn't ask for three or ten minutes, but he could give himself ten or twenty minutes. He believed that his performance would definitely not be bad, and it would be helpful to the team.

Ah Lian himself is probably quite satisfied. He has always been very clear about his position, and he never thought that it would be enough to make steady progress every second of every day.

On the contrary, his fans and the domestic media were dissatisfied, and they found that the team's management and coaches may have no problems, but the team's players, especially the backcourt combination, have some problems.

Although the Bucks' style of play is originally based on the backcourt as the starting point of offense, but Mo Williams, you are a mud horse, has the pass key been picked by you?

There is also that Reid, both named Michael, but your surname is not Jordan, how dare you take so many shots without being efficient?
Especially in the match between the Bucks and Texas Xiaoqiang, which was played on the same day as the Magic's game against the Suns, domestic fans were finally able to see the real "Huaguo Derby". In his most efficient game, Xiao Mo and Reid cried out.

Everyone wants to see Dayao beat Bogou's No. 20 center to the center, but Ah Lian's efficiency is so high that they haven't scored [-] points. Naturally, the coach and teammates will be scolded bloody.

As for the victory or defeat, there are still more fans supporting Houston, but it is too easy to win, which makes them feel unsatisfactory.

After five games, the Bucks have two wins and three losses, which is not unacceptable for the rebuilding team.

During this period, it was rare for Ah Lian to take the initiative to call Li Chengming, but he still came to comfort him, and he didn't know if it was his own meaning or who made him say so.

Li Chengming actually didn't need consolation, he just had to wait for the opportunity quietly, but he would naturally not refuse someone's offer, and he felt a lot better after sharing his encouragement with Ah Lian.

Although the fans of the two of them are now in a state of tearing apart on the domestic Internet, there is really no obvious conflict between the two, it's just that the media and some fans who don't know what they are thinking like to compare the two.

……

The magic team's schedule since the start of the game is a bit of a devil. Before the wave of four consecutive away, Saturday's game against the sun is their third back-to-back.

The NBA's schedule is very particular, it is said to be random, in fact, the difficulty level of each team is different, and like the Magic, it is definitely not favored by the league, and it is even treated a little bit badly.

After all, although the general lineup has not changed, but with the addition of an All-Star-level second- and third-level leader like Lewis, it will definitely need to be adjusted at the beginning of the game.

Although it seems that Lewis is well integrated.

But for the current Li Chengming, he wished for more back-to-backs, because he felt that only in this way would Van Gundy give himself more opportunities.

Sure enough, when he returned to the home game against the Suns on Saturday, Li Chengming played in the last 3 minutes of the first quarter.

However, at this time the team was already behind the Suns by 5 points, and it was obvious that the visiting team played more proactively in the first quarter.

The Suns are now 4 wins and 2 losses, and they are also a strong team in the Western Conference. The team has two MVP Nash, Stoudemire, who is known as the "little bully" in China, Brazilian Lightning Barbosa, Hacker Marion and the former Jordan's successor, Grant Hill, and the spiritual demon forward Dior as a substitute, can be said to be very competitive on paper.

However, the head coach of the Suns, D'Antoni, advocates running and bombing, which seems to be a little inconsistent with the NBA theme of "defense wins the championship". This makes their offense look good and have a strong scoring ability, but in The playoffs have never been able to make further breakthroughs.

Today, facing the defensive-oriented Magic, it is quite a contest of spear and shield.

After Li Chengming came on the court, he quickly felt the difficulty of facing this kind of opponent, especially for him, because the Suns were too "fast".

The ultimate pursuit of running and bombing is the offense of 8-10 seconds per round. Of course, the Suns can't really achieve this, but they can pass the ball, run, especially the excellent scheduling of the team commander Nash, and they can be in an instant. Break through the opponent's defense line to complete the offensive opportunity.

At the same time, the Suns are not completely absent on the defensive end.

The starting double guard lineup, Nash + Barbosa is short in height, but the size of the other three positions is still enough.

And somewhat similar to the Magic, in the Suns lineup, Hill also took on part of the organizational functions. After all, although he was known as Jordan's successor, he played like Pippen on the court. The positioning of the team is about the same.

The Magic's offense emphasizes Howard's restraint in the penalty area. For example, the reason why Lewis was introduced is because of his shooting range, which can open up space for Howard to create one-on-one opportunities in the three-second zone.

But the Suns promoted Stoudemire to the center position. In terms of athletic ability, Stoudemire is not afraid of World of Warcraft. Marion in the fourth position relies on his excellent judgment to sweep around. In addition, after a serious injury, his athletic talent has declined but he has experience. With Hill, who is becoming more and more conscious, the Suns' flank defense can even be said to be a bit strong.

In this game, they still put up a two-three defense, and the empty space happened to be Nelson's position at the top of the arc.

Nelson is short and stocky, and he is used to using the pick-and-roll to break through to the basket, or to block the jumper after blocking the space, but sometimes he dare not shoot outside the three-point line.

In this game, he was obviously restricted. He tried a three-pointer and missed. Van Gundy finally couldn't bear it and replaced him, and replaced Arroyo.

Arroyo was effective as soon as he came on the court, and he had a chance to make a decisive shot from outside the three-point line. After trying it once, the Suns didn't dare to let it go directly.

This kind of thing is not afraid that you don't have a basket, but that you don't even dare to make a shot. After all, the inside Howard can still grab rebounds after a shot.

And when Li Chengming came on the court, he was playing at the fourth position. No matter facing Marion, Dior, or Skinner, he would not have too many height disadvantages. The Magic's center position was Adonal Foyer.

The outside line is still Arroyo and Durin, and Ariza is on the third position.

Not only did Nelson beat Nash headless today, but he couldn't prevent too many offensive mistakes. Bogans also couldn't do anything about Barbosa.

Van Gundy had to let Arroyo and Dooling's backcourt to see the defensive effect, although still not satisfactory, at least better than the starting backcourt.

But after Li Chengming was on the court, the axis of offense unconsciously tilted to his side, because it was hard to ignore his big man on the court.

During the preseason and training, Arroyo was also very happy to cooperate with Li Chengming, so he was willing to drop the ball to him as long as he was in position.

The French striker's figure is similar to Li Chengming's. The height of 203 kg is 113 kilograms, but it is still a whole circle smaller in comparison, so Dior also seemed uncomfortable when defending Li Chengming.

However, this guy is very experienced, and the harassment in his hands has never stopped. Li Chengming felt that if he played a few more rounds, he would probably be colorful.

But after these few games, Li Chengming didn't have much time to play and didn't have many singles opportunities, but with the addition of the summer league and preseason games, he had seen various types of defenders in the professional arena, and also It can be regarded as having a certain targeted experience.

So at this time, he completely ignored his small movements, took a shot of the ball and suddenly pushed it back.

This made Boris DIAO seem caught off guard, and subconsciously wanted to be clever and lean back, but the referee glanced at him and looked away, and Li Chengming didn't care at all at this time, as long as there was no whistle to remind him will continue to do their own actions.

Turning around the axis, he saw Stoudemire rushing towards him when he turned around. This guy still likes to dance as much as he did in the US team training camp.

Li Chengming directly stretched out his long arms to bypass him and "push" the ball to the side. Foyer received the ball and put it on an unguarded empty basket. Naturally, he would not miss such a good opportunity.

Scored, three points difference.

The Magic still couldn't defend against the Suns' attack. Barbosa passed the Magic's defense all over by relying on his speed. When Li Chengming turned around, he could only watch him go to the layup, and he didn't dare to reach out again for fear of losing one. foul.

Looking back at the Magic's offense, Arroyo held the ball at the top of the arc and Li Chengming made a screen for Du Lin. Du Lin circled around to receive the ball but had no chance to make a shot.

Li Chengming immediately ran off the line at this time. What he learned the most during training during this period is to move more in the offense to have more opportunities, especially when someone in the team is holding the ball. Positivity at the end will enhance the tactical role and increase the threat of personal offense.

And the most important thing is to let the coach see his own efforts.

This time he ran out of chance. Du Lin's vision and awareness of passing the ball were problematic. It didn't mean he couldn't pass such a simple ball. Li Chengming caught the ball while running, and he charged like a wild boar.

At this time, Marion, who was recovered to the basket, was taken aback. Feeling the pressure on his face, he was startled, and subconsciously took a step back.

Originally, he wanted to compete with him in a 1V1 man's contest, but Li Chengming immediately changed his mind when he saw him retreating first, but he still scored with a light and small throw while he was in the air.

His palms are large, and he can easily grab the ball in the air, but at the moment of the shot, the arc of the wrist and the strength of the fingers are well controlled. This is something he has spent a lot of time practicing over the years. , Only belong to their own power skills.
