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

Chapter 82 Every point is a new record
Then when the attack came back, the Magic team cleared one side and gave Li Chengming a low single. The opponent dared not double-team with all their strength. Bogans, Evans and Lewis all pulled away.

Moreover, Li Chengming is also much smarter this time. He is not in a position that is too deep, but is near the waist, so that whether it is for the bottom corner outside the three-point line, or for Arroyo to let him turn around again, Opponents will be afraid to move their positions easily when defending.

Moreover, Li Chengming faced the dislocated Granger this time. It was a dislocation singles opportunity formed by receiving the ball after a fake pick-and-roll took away the defender before.

Granger's base was very solid, but defending Li Chengming would be too difficult for him. The two were about the same height, and Li Chengming, an opponent of this size, was not afraid of him, so he would just fight hard.

Granger was so crushed that he couldn't even straighten his legs, and then watched Li Chengming bounce back with the matchbox again, and it was too late to interfere.

brush!
boom……

Thunderous applause and cheers erupted at the scene. The fans seemed to be waiting for the moment of catharsis intentionally. They even seemed to be afraid of disturbing Li Chengming before. They were strangely quiet for several seconds, and they were not released until the final hit was successful.

"33 points! Li Chengming has created his own personal high this season, and he still has the opportunity to continue to improve the record."

"DEFEND! DEFEND!"

With the last 5 seconds left, the Pacers could only serve from the backcourt, and the fans at the scene began to act as their sixth man again.

However, 5 seconds was too difficult for them. In the end, Dunleavy caught the ball and missed a three-pointer, and the arena whistle sounded.

At the end of the three quarters, the Magic temporarily led the Pacers by 90 points at 87:3.

In this quarter, the Pacers won by 8 points in a single quarter. It is not so much that they played well, but that there was a problem with the Magic's offense.

Especially when Howard, Lewis and others were off the court, Li Chengming naturally received more double-team defense treatment alone. As a result, his teammates failed to convert his pass into an assist, which indirectly helped the opponent close to the score.

So sometimes when looking at a player's performance, you can't just look at whether he loses points or wins points, or simply puts the positive and negative values. At least in a single game, it needs to be analyzed in detail.

Can Li Chengming be blamed in this situation?
It's the real "teammates CBA" who can't help it. After all, this is a team sport. No matter how good you play alone, it is impossible to score casually with two double teams.

In the fourth quarter, Li Chengming was replaced for a rest. In the third quarter, he played for more than 7 minutes. In total, he has played 22 minutes in this game, and his stamina bar is also showing signs of being overwhelmed.

However, compared to before, Li Chengming seemed to be more adapted.

In fact, he just exchanged for an attribute that increases the speed of physical recovery in the system mall. Coupled with weight loss, various skills and BUFF additions bring about a reduction in his own consumption, which makes him now more physically exhausted to cope with the game. tolerance.

And recovering quickly will also help him to perform in a better state the next time he plays.

Otherwise, as a rookie, at this time, it is more likely to encounter problems such as the "rookie wall" due to the lack of stamina bar.

Many rookies have encountered similar problems. This is a hurdle in their careers. If they overcome it, they can continue to rise. If they cannot overcome it, they may just disappear from everyone.

In fact, there are many such examples in history. Of course, the performance of the "Rookie Wall" is also varied, and more lies in the opponent's familiarity and targeting of you. In this case, individuals are often required to develop more abilities, so The kind of tricks that are eaten all over the world can basically only be role players.

If you want to become a star, you must at least have more than one relatively stable scoring ability, so that your opponents cannot guess and guard against.

The lineup of the Magic has now changed to Howard and Lewis with a substitute, because they have given enough rest time before, although it seems that the score is forced to close, but at least they are given enough rest, and what they want is to let them play Come to score.

It is best to be able to stabilize the situation in the first half and even pull it away. When Li Chengming comes back, with his current state, even if the Pacers want to counterattack again, they will not be afraid.

Unexpectedly, the Pacers had overtaken the score after 2 minutes. First, Howard missed the ball when he received the ball from the basket and was double-teamed.

Then Lewis caught the ball and made a layup, and the Pacers immediately responded. After the pick-and-roll, Murphy returned a pass from the outside and hit a three-pointer, tying the score.

Then Lewis hit the iron from outside the three-point line. Howard grabbed the offensive rebound and threw it out and made another shot. The Pacers protected the rebound and had no chance to land a fast break.

It wasn't long before the fourth quarter that Nelson fouled five times. Today's game was quite depressing, but there is no need to replace him for the time being.

After Tinsley made two free throws, the Pacers have gone ahead by two points.

Then the two sides fought each other for more than two minutes. The game has reached this point. The physical strength of the main players on both sides has been affected, and the decline in physical strength will inevitably be accompanied by a decrease in offensive efficiency.

Director Zhang naturally talked about Li Chengming again, "Oh, Li Chengming was not present during this period, and the efficiency of the Magic team has dropped significantly. This time they seem to be suffering from 'Li Chengming's dependence'."

Director Sun immediately echoed: "Li Chengming's efficiency is too high this time, but his physical strength is indeed a problem, so it's okay for Coach Van Gundy to take him off the court to rest. The problem is that Howard and Lewis are so rested. It didn’t work for a long time.”

This is the most hurtful thing. In the second half of the third quarter, Li Chengming's "leading the team" didn't achieve the desired effect. It hurt. As a result, Howard and the others came up to attack more stagnantly, which made Van Gundy frown on the sidelines. Wandering back and forth, wanting to command but really don't know how to have an effect.

After all, it is impossible for him to play on the court himself, and he can't play, and the state of the players is hard to say.

I don't know if it's because he came back from vacancy for a while and his hands were cold. After Howard came back to the court, he even made two mistakes with his butter hand.

Originally in a good state today, I hope to have a double star shine with Li Chengming again, but the result is that I just sit on the bench and lose my state.

Fortunately, the basic defense is still there, and the mobility of the lineup can still be guaranteed at this time, and the defense speed is very fast. Even if the offensive efficiency is poor, the Pacers cannot guarantee that they can play effectively every round.

The result of this is that the scores of the two teams rose alternately afterwards, and there was a gap of 2 or 3 points back and forth. Suddenly you overtook me, and suddenly I overtook you.

Then when Li Chengming was about to play again, there were still 5 minutes left, the score was 103:104, and the Magic won by one point.

Although the Magic made a lot of turnovers, with Nelson, Arroyo, Evans, and Howard all making five turnovers, the Pacers had to rely on the defensive position when the Pacers failed to make a fast break. Facing Howard's defense, Lewis was also active at this time, and he could not score on the offensive end so he focused on the defensive end.

What Lewis is most afraid of is an opponent who can attack in the low post. The Pacers currently do not have such a person. Xiao Ao has declined significantly now, and his singles are not as sharp as before.

It is meaningful to hold on to the score and wait for Li Chengming to return. Today, Li Chengming is the "savior" of the Magic. He let Lewis rest first after playing, and then he came back to connect with Howard inside.

Howard made a dunk against O'Neal and caused a foul. It may be that he was in a state of excitement and there was an additional penalty.

In fact, his free throw efficiency today is pretty good, currently 14 of 12, so the Pacers don't dare to foul him.

Then Li Chengming hit a low post and hit a fadeaway jumper again, and the home fans were excited again.

Director Zhang said with a smile: "You see, the fans on the sidelines have started to call Li Chengming's name, and they all call him 'Li', because his name is difficult to pronounce, and it is easier and clearer to call him this way. And you see Many fans at the scene were wearing Li Chengming's '60' jersey..."

"Because this number was chosen with the 60th pick in the draft, generally speaking, there are very few people who choose this kind of number that is too late. However, if Li Chengming continues to develop like this, it is possible to play this number."

Director Zhang chuckled and said, "Dayao's number is 11, Ah Lian's number is 9, Dazhi has 15 and 16, and their numbers are quite normal. Li Chengming is not taking an unusual path. "

In fact, from the beginning of the draft, Li Chengming has already taken an unusual path compared to these domestic seniors.

He is now walking out of his own way!

"Back in the game, Li Chengming got the ball in the low post again. The Magic did not fight back, but because Howard and Li Chengming have two completely different inside killers, their positional offense can also play very beautifully. .”

"The Pacers finally chose to double-team the ball, eh...but Li Chengming didn't pass it out, and he directly leaned back and shot the two of them. Dunleavy reacted, but Li Chengming's shot was too fast, he could only use Barty Er's blindfold method, hoping to interfere with Li Chengming.

"However, Li Chengming was not affected at all. He still made shots, and he still made shots! How many consecutive hits has Li Chengming made? He scored 37 points in a single game!"

The skills given by the system can indeed quickly improve his personal abilities, but the use of them in specific competitions still depends on how Li Chengming himself operates.

This is called combining theory with practice. If you just follow the scriptures and talk on paper, the effect will probably be greatly reduced.

In particular, there are still many unspoken rules in the NBA, including penalties, etc. The standards for stars and ordinary players are different.

Of course, Li Chengming still can't show his big elbows like Howard unscrupulously, so he always keeps a part of his low-post offense, which makes it impossible for him to exert his full strength of "Yan Luo immediately". Come.

But only the back hit + fadeaway jump shot, as long as no one is guarding him, he can shoot directly to death.

Then, unconsciously, the game came to the last 2 minutes, the score was still staggered, and Li Chengming, who had already scored a game-high 37 points, became the target of the opponent's strict defense at this time.

The result of this is that it is easier for teammates to take chances...
