Chapter 133 The Magic Team’s Goal

When another star player in the team was injured, Houston's lineup list suddenly made people feel shabby.

None of the five starting players can gather more than three serious starting players. Streetball King Alstom is actually more suitable to be the sixth player. Bathir is a qualified role player in 3D, but it is not inconsistent. The remaining Luther Hyde and Chuck Hayes, which team can play the starting player?

This was placed on the court, just like Yao and his three and a half flaws.

This lineup, coupled with the former superstar McGrady, who has already declined significantly, has just experienced a change of coaches and a new tactical style. It is still a system like Princeton, which cannot really achieve results in less than half a season. It has previously scored 15 wins and 17 losses, and it is not surprising that it is only ranked 11th in the West.

Shortly after five wins and one loss at the beginning of the game, he suffered a six-game losing streak. It was probably the time for the players to have a huge blow to their confidence at that time and it also severely spent the tactical running-in time.

For the Magic, losing streak is a strange thing. It only once this season has caused panic for the fans, but for the previous mosaics, losing streak is common.

Before this game against the Magic, they had just suffered a series of losses, losing to the Warriors and the Celtics in succession. The match against the Celtics was a pity. They fought to the last moment and lost with 4 points.

But in this lineup and this state, I have been fighting with the Magic until now, so are they actually okay, or are the others on the Magic not doing well?

Li Chengming's tendency is that when Howard was troubled by fouls and suppressed by Yao Da, the Magic's defensive core was pinned, so problems naturally arise on the defensive end. Coupled with Yao Da's restraining power on the offensive end, these players who were not so strong could also score.

Where is the Magic this season’s strength?

Different people may have different views, but for Li Chengming's own game experience, all this is based on Howard's current super game influence, so once Howard plays a game that is not comfortable, the Magic often has a hard time.

Instead, as some people outside said, Li Chengming is in good condition and the Magic team is easy to play, and loses if they are not there. This is somewhat a bit of a survivor deviation, and the sample is not big enough.

Of course, Li Chengming now has a certain ability to use offense to change opponent's strategies, but it is still a bit bad to change the game situation. In his opinion, either the offense is so strong that it directly destroys the opponent's system like O'Neal, or the defensive end can support a system.

So there is no problem with Howard being the number one center in the league today. After all, Yao Yu cannot do this. He mainly has his own physical strength and defense replacement, especially his performance in the second half is often very different from the first half, which weakens his entire game influence.

Of course, when Yao Ye was on the court, Houston's starting lineup was still comparable to the Magic. At the end of the first half, relying on Yao Ye Ye Ye's restraint, Alstom hit the last goal of the first half, helping Houston maintain the gap at 3 points.

The Magic made a three-pointer in the last attack and failed to play in the first half. The Magic fell behind by 55:58 at home and entered the midfield break.

The home fans were immediately awakened to the bad feeling. Could it be that they would lose again today?

No, don't want that kind of thing!

Why, the team clearly has a good record this year and has so many good players. It's Friday's break, so you can watch the game as much as you want. These are two happy things that are superimposed together. Why is this happening?

...

"Damn, who poured a glass of water on my seat, how did it feel wet?"

"Did you wet your pants?"

"You've just wet your pants, and you'll always wet your pants when you go to my house!"

When he came to the locker room and heard the sound inside, Van Gundy, who had originally wanted to comfort him, was indeed a little relieved when he heard this.

For him now, the team's loss is not scary, what is scary is that it affects the team's atmosphere.

As Osty Smith said to him before, the Magic are now on the right path. Although the fans have high expectations and the outside world is optimistic about them, even the boss does not think about winning the championship immediately this season. After all, it is not only Lee Chengming, but also Howard is still very young.

Simply put, this season, we will focus on training and hone the lineup, then go through more tests in the playoffs, and then consider the Eastern Conference Finals or even the championship.

You should know that looking at the history of the Magic team, this team, which was founded in 1989 and is relatively young, not only hasn't won the championship, but it has only reached the finals once, that is, the time when O'Neal was swept by Olajuwon.

So although the management also shouted the slogan of winning the championship, they did not have great expectations for it. After all, they knew how difficult it was to win the championship.

It would be better to sign Lewis to keep Howard better. Didn’t he renew his contract?

The main reason is that they are still very young, and young means capital, and they can develop for a few more years.

What's more, there is a surprise like Li Chengming now?

Li Chengming not only brought help in combat power, but also helped the Magic team better develop another market.

Speaking of this, we have to mention the Bucks again. The Bucks' team history is much more exciting than the Magic, but Milwaukee is really not a good place and it is definitely incomparable to Orlando, whether it is the city itself or the football market.

So even if you choose Alien, it will actually be of limited help to the team's development. Even domestic investors in China will not like them because of this.

On the contrary, Orlando has a certain foundation, and now with Li Chengming, it is even more powerful.

General Manager Smith asked Van Gundy to give Li Chengming more opportunities. He didn't need to say that Van Gundy would do it. Li Chengming is becoming more and more important in his arrangements now.

Not only on the court, he learned to adjust the atmosphere even off the court. Anyway, as a newcomer, no one is very good at talking about him.

Well, the main thing is that Howard is under the cover and he performs well himself, otherwise it might be a different situation.

The voice I just heard was obviously Li Chengming's. After Van Gundy smiled and pushed open the door, he saw Li Chengming and Augustine, and Redick were fighting each other on his back.

When they turned around and noticed that the coach came in, they immediately sat in their respective positions and began to look deep.

After all, the team is lagging behind now, and it’s okay for Li Chengming to say that Redick and Augustine have not yet settled in the position. What if the coach feels that they are not enterprising and have no sense of honor and disgrace on the team?

"Well, it seems you're more optimistic than I think."

Howard looked up and grinned, thinking he was talking about himself.

Tekoglu and Lewis quickly glanced at Li Chengming, wanting to wave your hand and say that you have misunderstood and it has nothing to do with us.

"This is a good thing. Let me kick them hard in the second half. Home fans are looking forward to victory so much, don't you want to disappoint them, right?"

Hey hey hey, this Japanese coach shows show way!

...

"The second half is about to begin. The Magic looks very good. Did the head coach say something during the break?" The broadcast screen went to the stadium. When I saw the Magic's bench, I was amazed for a while.

Ma Jian smiled and said, "The Magic have always been pretty good this season, and they may have won a lot. And their core, Howard's personality is very similar to O'Neal before, and they are both big treasures."

Yang Yi said: "It is true that this atmosphere is better for the entire team and for newcomers like Li Chengming. OK, the game is about to begin, and Houston was still leading by 3 points in the first half. So in the second half, let's see what performance the two teams will have. Can the Magic fight for a breath at home and also make the home fans feel relieved?"

"The third quarter game has begun! It's Houston's ball right, Alston dribbles, and Yao Da is carrying Howard to ask for the ball again. Howard made three fouls in the first half, and he still needs to pay attention to his movements. Yao Da is turning around and hooking up when he receives the ball!"

Ma Jian said: "Howard was suppressed and couldn't get up and jump up at the first time. After that, Yao Yao had already taken action. This was a failed defense. Yao Yao scored 12 points in 5 of 9 in the first half, but he used his restraint to create opportunities for his teammates. So he didn't take many moves, but he was very efficient...

"Magic offense, do Howard want to play one back after getting the ball? Yao Da was stuck in the position and he couldn't get into the basket. In the end, it was passed. Tekoglu broke through and layup was interfered with. Yao Da directly blocked the two people, Bathir protected the rebound. Houston's fast attack opportunity!"
