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

Chapter 81

This time Li Chengming received the pass from Lewis steadily, turned around and made an unreasonable fadeaway jump shot. Facing Sean Williams, he was obviously bullying him because he was not tall enough and not fast enough.

Li Chengming didn't know how much hit rate his shot had reached at this time according to the superimposed effect of the "Four Ups and Three Irons" skills. He only knew that his mentality was very stable now, and he felt that his shot would definitely hit.

Of course, this still requires you to create your own shooting space and not be interfered by the opponent too much.

Because even after the superposition, the hit rate is definitely not fixed, but will be weakened by the impact of the defense. For example, if the hand movement is deformed after the confrontation, the head will also fail.

However, Li Chengming is not afraid of performance, and has also entered a comfortable rhythm. The more he plays, the better he feels.

With 3 minutes left in the third quarter, Li Chengming pulled the ball to the right waist to catch the ball. After facing Williams once sinking the ball, he made a jump shot again. Williams wanted to step forward and could not interfere. hit.

At the same time, Williams was too late to stop and was called a foul after knocking down Li Chengming.

"This is a 2+1, Li Chengming hit another jumper, and there is an additional penalty!"

"Li Chengming beat his chest and roared, and the 30 points will be reached soon. This game has almost become his solo performance."

Originally, Li Chengming always roared habitually when shooting, which was for the bonus effect of "iron-blooded big jump shot".

Although it was at the same time as the shot or a short while before the shot, even if the opponent reacted, it was too late to interfere with his shot speed, but it was hard to guarantee that the opponent would not notice the pattern and predict it in advance.

Because of this stronger BUFF in this game, Li Chengming simply chose to keep his mouth shut, which would be more unexpected.

He has always felt that it is an advantage that he is good at thinking on the court, although sometimes he hesitates and delays some opportunities because of this.

Then Sean Williams received a pass and caused Nelson to foul. Nelson actually performed well except for three points today, but he was troubled by fouls. After four fouls, he went off to rest again and replaced Arroyo.

At this time, the Magic's positions 1 to 5 are Arroyo, Redick, Bogans, Cook and Lee Chengming. Brian Cook, who came from the Lakers due to Ariza's trade, is a space-type fourth position. , is somewhat similar to Lewis, but he is only a blue-collar and can only catch and shoot, so it is natural to open up space when he comes up.

And Li Chengming danced solo in the low post, facing Jermaine O'Neal's defense, he chose to sit directly.

O'Neill's strength and confrontation are not weak. His excellent defensive awareness combined with his physical fitness can ensure his defensive effect in the low post. However, Li Chengming's completely ruthless collision made O'Neill, who was deliberately squatting in the pit to defend, look dark. There is red, purple in red, purple in...

Just as Xiao Ao breathed a sigh of relief, he saw Li Chengming turn around and lean back, and directly shot a jumper.

There is another important reason why Li Chengming's jump shot beauty cannot be compared with those swinging forwards and guards is because of his take-off height. It is a bit exaggerated to say that he is standing on the ground, which is basically the height of a matchbox.

On the one hand, this is because Li Chengming does not need to jump so high, because his excellent shoulder width and wingspan can guarantee his shot point, and on the other hand, because his explosive power is still insufficient at the moment of sinking to take-off.

This is actually "killing one thousand enemies and harming eight hundred", but as long as the opponent is stuck so that he doesn't jump up so quickly to interfere, it is successful.

After this hit, Li Chengming clenched his fists and roared, feeling that it was coming.

And on the big screen, Li Chengming's data performance tonight was immediately shown at the right time, and he had already scored 31 points, which made the fans excited.

For these local fans, watching Li Chengming, a rookie, perform well, may even be more important and joyful than this home game victory.

This is also the reason why Li Chengming was accepted so quickly by Magic fans in Orlando. There is a kind of "cultivation" happiness, which is also a feeling that fans overseas, including domestic fans, cannot understand and understand.

After all, most of them are fans, following the stars, the team probably only counts for the time being in Houston, and this is because of Dayao.

Although the "Li Zhige" that Li Chengming was looking forward to was still absent, there were more and more fans wearing Li Chengming's jersey in the stands. After his goal, the voices became louder and louder, and he became more and more home-like.

In fact, there were bad slogans on the Magic's home court before. It's not that the team indulged, but it's difficult for you to grasp if people hide and put them up. You can't just search them casually.

But as Li Chengming's performance got better and better, this situation became less and less common.

Prejudice can be broken by hard power, just like Bruce Lee and Jack Cheng.

Speaking of which, the design of the Magic jerseys is quite good-looking, especially the blue jersey with two stars on the blue "Magic" logo, with white letters and black borders on a blue background, which has a very smooth aesthetic feeling when moving .

Therefore, although the Magic's home court is mainly white, fans are actually more willing to wear this blue jersey to watch the game and support the home team without a unified team management arrangement.

In this home game, the number of fans wearing Li Chengming's No. 60 jersey has also increased significantly. It should be said that after Li Chengming signed the contract, the jersey experienced two waves of hot sales. The first time was when Li Chengming just appeared in the field of vision of Orlando fans. , That is, from the preseason to the beginning of the regular season.

Then, after the outstanding performance against the Suns, dunking James, and defeating Durant, Li Chengming has become the most reliable scorer of the Magic, and even makes people feel that this summer is the biggest One deal was not Lewis, but signing Lee Sung-Famous.

Of course, his hot sale is for him personally.

But it is conceivable that as the game continues and Li Chengming's personal performance continues to rise, his jersey sales will get better and better in the future.

Now it is only inferior to old players like Nelson, but it is already ranked in the top six of the team, and even in the short term it is only a little worse than Howard and new aid Lewis.

Jerseys are different from sneakers. There is a saying in the NBA that "insiders don't sell shoes". sneaker contract.

On the contrary, the forwards and guards can get high-paying contracts without playing. James negotiated a big contract with Hook before participating in the draft. Durant was just selected and did not play in the next game. A big contract worth tens of millions of dollars arrived.

To be honest, when Li Chengming knew this, he was envious, jealous and hated. After all, although Hook contacted him now, he was not satisfied because the price he gave was not high, and he felt that the other party did not value him. Feel.

Although in terms of the status of the hook, this is understandable, but for Li Chengming, he must feel uncomfortable in his heart.

He still holds the idea of ​​continuing to show that he will slap the other party in the face, so naturally it is impossible to agree to sign the contract.

The jerseys sold in the team store also include some peripherals that use personal portraits. Li Chengming, as a player, can actually get a certain amount of income from it.

This is not a stipulation in the previous contract, but after Li Chengming's performance got better and better, Li's father asked to negotiate with the team. The team also made some concessions in consideration of his future contract renewal.

Therefore, when Li Chengming saw these fans wearing his own jerseys on the sidelines, he could really be regarded as his "parents". Even if many of them were foreign faces with high noses and deep eyes, he didn't consciously feel a little familiar.

Even after the next hit, affected by the atmosphere of the home court, Li Yong unconsciously began to wave and incite the audience to make noise when he retreated.

When Director Zhang saw this, he couldn't help laughing: "It seems that Li Chengming is adapting well in the Magic now, and he already regards himself as the master of this stadium."

Director Sun said: "This is also because of the draft. Like Dayao, although it is a traded pick, it can be regarded as a rookie selected by the team itself, and from the last pick to the current best rookie. No. [-] in the East, this is definitely the biggest surprise for these local fans."

"Yeah," Director Zhang nodded, and sighed a little: "Actually, the demands of these fans are very simple and pure. They just want to see wonderful games and the team's victory. As long as they are part of the team They are willing to give applause for their good performance and for helping the team."

"But this game is far from over. Although the Magic are still leading, they don't have a big advantage. Now it looks like they are relying on Li Chengming to support them..."

In fact, Li Chengming didn't expect it to be like this, especially in the next two consecutive rounds. After he attracted the opponent's double-team and passed out, Redick and Cook both ended with iron strikes. As a result, the Pacers played A wave of 5:0 spurts brought the score closer to 1 point.

At this time, there were still 28 seconds before the end of the third quarter. Both sides had a theoretical offensive round. Li Chengming was a little depressed, and Van Gundy had to use up a timeout in this quarter.

He originally wanted to see Li Chengming in such a good state today, the Pacers will definitely choose to double-team him during this period of time, so that others can be free, whether it is an inside pass to Cook or a three-pointer to Redick outside. Points are opportunities.

Facts have proved that the Pacers have also bagged it, but unfortunately the other players are in such a poor state that they failed to seize the opportunity and instead gave the opponent a chance.

The situation on the court is changing rapidly. If the opponent suddenly plays the state to overtake the score, even if it is only one or two points, the feeling is completely different, and his idea of ​​resting the main players such as Turkoglu, Howard, and Lewis during this period is also a waste of effort.

So after the timeout, Van Gundy chose to bring Lewis up first, replacing Cook at this point, and continued to help Li Chengming open up space. At the same time, he also replaced Redick with Evans to strengthen his defense.
