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

Chapter 94 Li Chengming's Strength (2?)
Van Gundy expressed dissatisfaction with the team's recent state, especially the defensive aspect, especially the restrictions on the perimeter.

At present, the Magic does lack a core of perimeter defense. As a 3D positioning projection, Bogans is not stable enough. Generally speaking, chasing people around cover is also easy to lose.

It can even be said that the Magic's perimeter is so strong and lacking in speed, which makes it difficult for them to face opponents who are small fast spirits or pitchers in the backcourt.

At the beginning, the opponents would be bluffed by Howard's sweeping defense, but after they found out the penalty area, even the so-called Warcraft had to become a landlubber, and they couldn't be so comfortable. Naturally, they all knew how to attack.

On the front line, Turkoglu and Lewis can only be regarded as average-level defenders. They will not be said to be cash machines for defensive loopholes, but it is impossible to say that they can support Howard's defense to help Howard. And at certain times, Bogans and Howard need to help wipe their ass.

Originally, Ariza had a good defense and the talent to become a 3D player, but isn't this sold?
As for Li Chengming, no one expects him to be an excellent defender. He can play a good offense, do his job of switching defenses and grabbing rebounds.

Besides, it can be said that he has saved the team in the last two games. In this case, he is not satisfied. Is he really the new king of the team?
In the afternoon, Van Gundy also specially arranged an in-team training game, wanting to test the effect of tactical training, and check for gaps by the way.

The two sides on the court are the team's two regular lineups that can be placed directly on the court, Nelson, Doolin, Turkoglu, Cook and Howard, against Arroyo, Bogans, Evans, Lewis And Lee became famous.

Li Chengming went up to the fifth position and directly faced Howard. The gap in height and wingspan was actually not as big as imagined.

You must know that Howard's currently known physical measurement data is still in the draft. As the No. [-] pick in high school, it stands to reason that he should be a little longer now, so you can imagine how much water his body had at the beginning.

Of course, static has its problems but dynamic certainly doesn't lie.

But against Li Chengming, he was a bit deflated both in offense and defense.

It's not surprising that he can't defend Li Chengming on the defensive end. He has played more than a dozen teams in more than 20 games and has a strong defensive inside line, but he can't stand up to Li Chengming one-on-one.

As long as Li Chengming is in the low position to get the ball, with his strength and footwork, he can completely make up for the gap in height. If he doesn't help defend or double-team, he can play single-handedly until his physical strength is exhausted.

Howard had been beaten by Li Chengming several times in the training camp before he officially played the game. In the past few months, after systematic training and "systematic" strengthening, Li Chengming has improved a lot. Not only has strength and skill, but even speed and experience have improved, Howard can't stand it anymore.

But what made him even more uncomfortable was that he couldn't score against Li Yong one-on-one. How it felt to be that little giant in Houston.

Of course, he still has a certain advantage in height and wingspan, but his shooting is not good, so this advantage cannot be converted into scoring. In the end, he can only pass it out, and then score in cooperation with his teammates.

Team training is not like a formal game after all, and Howard doesn't need to protect his face too much. It's just that there are so many people watching on the team, and he can't hold back when he is made a disheveled expression by the younger brother he recognizes.

Of course, as long as he is not obsessed with singles, Li Chengming's defensive end will not be so useful. When he changes guards, he can't keep up with the opponent's breakthrough, and he is easy to be fouled when shooting. These are his natural limitations, even if his awareness improves now. It's impossible to control this slightly clumsy body well.

Recently, he also measured his weight. After the double adjustment of the system and reality, he has now steadily controlled his weight at 270 catties, which is about 135 kg. This is more obvious from the face and stomach.

And after that, it seems to be hard to lose any more.

It's not that he doesn't want to reduce it, but the task requirements are getting more and more outrageous. After he scored 40+ in a single game, the system seemed to start treating him with the requirements of a star, and the task list became:
[Current task: score 50 points in a single game, reward 10 calorie consumption points]

[Pending task 1: 10 consecutive games with 20+, reward 15 calorie consumption points]

[Pending task 2: 5 consecutive games with 40+, reward 20 calorie consumption points]

The difficulty of completing the task has become higher, but the rewards have not increased, obviously because the requirements have increased accordingly.

Moreover, Li Chengming also discovered that at the earliest, he could feel obvious changes in his body after 10 calorie consumption at the earliest, including the elimination of impurities. There is no change in the body.

Another point is that his hunger has begun to become stronger, which makes him full of desire to eat all the time.

Perhaps this is the only side effect of systematic weight loss. If you lose more weight but eat more, it is actually equivalent to directly consuming the calories you absorb, and then your body mass remains unchanged.

Li Chengming didn't know if the system had quietly set a new lower limit. He went through the system mall, and there was nothing in it that could directly consume calories. Obviously, the system blocked the back door, and the final interpretation rests with him. all.

Of course, generally speaking, the impact on Li Chengming is not great, and it even fits his idea of ​​"sustainable development" at the beginning, but it will be troublesome in the offseason, because it may be difficult to directly pass the Doing tasks to achieve calorie consumption does not consume so much without competition, but the hunger will not be reduced.

Doesn't this mean that he will gain weight again every offseason, and then wait until the new season to "lose weight"?
Thinking about how many people would think he was unprofessional when he came back with a big belly, Li Chengming felt a little headache.

I'm afraid there will be another nickname by then, such as "pork belly"?
But having said that, it will be even more difficult to complete the new mission goal at that time, because the standard has improved, but his strength will also be different, and the status of the team will also increase, and the possession of the ball will also increase. The task should also be easier.

Of course, in this situation, Li Chengming originally expected to exchange some things, but now because the task is not easy to complete, it is not easy to get rewarded calories, so I want to save the current points for emergencies Fortunately, his abilities in all aspects are sufficient at present.

In terms of physical strength, it can speed up the recovery of physical strength, and under the positive effects of all aspects, his physical strength consumption has been reduced, and he knows how to use strength and skills, and knows how to save effort on the court.

In terms of speed, there are gyro turns that increase the speed of turning and over-screening, and "Light as a Swallow" (10) that increases the jumping speed. Li Chengming's jumping is not bad. What he really lacks is the ability of instant explosive power and continuous jumping , this is not only due to body size, but also due to the limitation of his own talent.

In a basketball game, jumping high once is nothing. After all, this is not a high jump competition. It requires an instant burst of take-off and a second quick take-off. advantage in all respects.

Just like Dayao, he is tall enough, but his weaknesses in wingspan, short hands, and jumping prevent him from gaining any advantage in rebounding. Coupled with his weakness in mobility, Once you leave the penalty area, your defensive skills will be reduced by half.

In terms of injury prevention and anti-interference, Li Chengming now also has "jacks" to protect ankles, "knee pads" (10) to enhance knee resistance and resistance to confrontation, and invisible gloves to enhance the flexibility and anti-interference ability of fingers and wrists (10 ).

It is equivalent to saying that Li Yong is now protecting as much as possible the parts that are most likely to be collided or even injured during sports games on the basketball court.

In fact, there is also a kind of "armor" (1000) that can cover the whole body in the system mall, but it is too expensive. up.

He even wondered if it was possible that the system would set a price that was basically impossible to achieve because there were no such things at all, just to make him want to quench his thirst?
In terms of offense, the low-post "Yan Luo", the "iron-blooded jumper" and shooting acceleration, and the "four-up three irons" that can play a role under certain conditions, help vision and passing "scope" - Can also be applied to shooting.

In terms of defense, he has strength and speed, and his awareness has always been there. Now he has accumulated experience step by step. "(10), being able to flexibly use his wingspan to steal when defending alone.

After careful calculation, he also exchanged a lot of things, which is also the reward he deserved for completing a lot of tasks and consuming a lot of calories in the past two months.

So he feels that what he is like now is definitely enough to be used in the arena. With the current benchmark, it seems that the only thing left for him to become a star player is voting.

Of course, one must accumulate popularity, and of course there are data, honors, and qualifications that are enough to convince people.

As for whether his current strength can keep up with the requirements of the system, Li Chengming feels that he still has to consider two aspects. He is now comprehensive in all aspects, including defensive weaknesses, offensive strengths, and physical improvement. It should have reached the standard of touching the All-Star side.

And this standard is the most standard, because the All-Stars will be affected by other factors, and the strength cannot be completely quantified, but the system's evaluation will definitely not lie.

In other words, if he can be given unlimited shot rights under the condition of sufficient physical strength, Li Chengming thinks that averaging 20 points per game is not difficult for him, and he also needs to consider the help to the team. No one will like it. And chasing after a star who always loses is called a brush.

Of course, it is also a skill to be able to win the scoring champion.

Li Chengming's advantage is that while he can ensure his personal offensive efficiency, he can contain the opponent's defensive power and create good scoring opportunities for his teammates. This is also a star standard.

Of course, it's hard to say anything that hasn't happened. After all, Li Chengming is now in a team environment like the Magic. If he really leads the team personally, it's hard to say whether he can still have such a performance.

After all, if the opponent really pours all their defensive power on him and targets him more, his offense will definitely be affected, and even the defense may be consumed by the targets.

This also reminded him of Dayao. As the core insider in Houston, he was targeted in this way, not only by opponents, but sometimes even by referees.

So although opponents including O'Neal have recognized his strength, many domestic fans look at his statistics and think that he is not even a first-class center in the league. Fans voted the same.

"What's the matter, what are you thinking?"
