Chapter 298 Prosperous teammates

At the end of the first quarter, Li Chengming made only one hit in 7 shots.

Although the last shot looked incredible, and the commentators were also praising "Amazing", it was only a successful attack and could only score two points. It is impossible to really give him a bonus just because he played so beautifully.

10 points above.

And with a ball like this, let alone an All-Star level player, even if the player plays for a long time and takes too many shots, he might be able to score one or two, so everyone just thinks it's more luck.

Not to mention this, some things about the skills that professional players have honed over time are engraved in their muscle memory.

So sometimes it seems that some goals are more likely to be scored because they are more difficult. In fact, it is also because they have practiced regularly and then just triggered that state, but when put into normal state, it feels different again.

Moreover, do you really expect Li Chengming to miss a single shot in a game?

This may be more difficult than putting in all the shots. He may be in a bad state and feel bad for a while. It does not mean that this person is useless or has completely lost his ability.

Of course, in the CCTV live broadcast room, Director Zhang was catching the ball and kept boasting, "This is Li Chengming's personal ability. Even if you have guarded well, he can still score. It seems to be an unreasonable goal, but it is

If it can score, it’s a good goal..."

"At the end of the first quarter, although Li Chengming performed poorly, the Magic did not fall far behind." Director Sun said with a smile: "This is Boston's home court after all, so it is expected that the Magic will have a difficult time. However,

There are still three quarters of game time, and there is no time to adjust. How do you think the Magic will respond in the second quarter?"

Da Zhi said: "During the rotation stage, especially in the lineup at the beginning of the second quarter, the Magic team should still make some adjustments. Lewis will definitely be brought back. I don't know if Li Chengming will stay on the court. Firstly,

He was not in good condition today, and he also played for a long time in the first quarter..."

In the first quarter, due to Lewis's foul problem, Van Gundy actually broke the regular rotation and replaced Li Chengming on the court in advance.

So I usually let him play at the beginning of the second quarter, but that may not be the case this time.

What's more, as Dazhi said, Li Chengming's on-the-spot performance today was not very good, and the Magic are currently lagging behind. We cannot just count on him to bottom out and rebound under such circumstances.

What if it hits the bottom?

Even if he wants to find his form, he has to wait for the Magic to stabilize the situation and even gain an advantage, allowing him to squander it a little bit.

Sure enough, after the start of the second quarter, the Magic team was temporarily led by Lewis and Howard, with three shooters on the outside: Redick, Dulin and Bogans. Plus Lewis, there were actually four.

Authentic "one star and four stars"!

In fact, in the first game of the Eastern Conference Finals, Redick also got a chance to play for a few minutes, but his performance was not satisfactory.

His shooting ability can definitely help the team. His problem is that his defense is too poor. Compared with Li Chengming, he can use his size to press, and his defense near the penalty area is not bad. As an outside line, his speed is not slow.

He can keep up with people, but he is too weak in confrontation. When others break through, if they squeeze him a little bit, they may be gone.

Moreover, the defensive awareness and experience are slightly insufficient, and it is easy to fake moves and be deceived into fouls.

Fortunately, after all, he has been tempered by college basketball, and his tactical understanding is no problem. In the rotation stage, he only has two minutes, and as long as he doesn't get caught in the weakness and attacks, it won't be a big problem.

Even if the touch comes, he can score three points in a row, which will have more positive effects on the team.

Of course, the Magic's main focus at this time must be Howard's inside offense.

Although after the last game, Van Gundy knew that he could not rely entirely on Howard's inside singles to open up the situation. The Green Army's defense is very experienced in this area, and even substitutes P.J. Brown and Glen Davis can give it a try.

He has certain limitations.

In fact, it is to jam his lower body and take advantage of his weak lower limb strength to limit his ability to move.

His shooting ability is about the same as that of a Warcraft without him. Once he can't move, he basically has no offensive threat.

Of course, this is not guaranteed to be effective every time, and as long as Howard is not stubborn, he can still use his physical advantage to bully the opponent.

For example, when facing Perkins and Davis, the two big fat guys were slow to turn around and react. Even if he wasn't very good at fake moves, he could still turn quickly enough with his speed and flexibility to prevent them from reacting.

, there is absolutely no need to fight hard against them.

As for Garnett, Brown, and even the smaller Posey, Pierce and others, he can still crush them twice.

They will choose a more flexible defensive method, but if Howard's offense is determined enough, he can at least cause one kill.

Although with his free throw ability, this may not be what the opponent wants to see sometimes, but if the main players get too many fouls due to this, it is not worth being happy, and maybe they will suffer even more.

Seeing that Howard and his team were about to tie the score, especially with Lewis and Redick both hitting three-pointers, it looked like the Magic were about to take a shot, so the Greens quickly called a timeout.

Director Zhang immediately laughed and said: "If Li Chengming doesn't play well, the rest of the Magic team will have to step up. They actually have the ability. The Magic can surpass the Green Army and become the league's regular season leader."

First, where is the player’s personal ability?

"Howard is a one-on-one defense this season. If opponents only regard him as a defensive blue-collar worker, they will pay a heavy price..."

Well, although Li Chengming is always accused of bringing trouble to him, he is right this time.

In the past, due to Yao's relationship, Howard's evaluation in China was not very high.

Everyone saw that he always failed when facing Dayao, so they thought he was nothing more than that. They believed that he was recognized by the US media as the number one active center because Dayao was excluded because of his foreign status.

But just like after playing on the same team with Dayao, McGrady was highly praised by domestic football fans and fans took a high look at him. After playing on the same team with Li Chengming, Howard's evaluation suddenly skyrocketed.

Especially when everyone knows that Li Chengming and Howard have a very good relationship in private. In the beginning, Howard was the big brother protecting Li Chengming, a rookie, just like when Dayao was taken care of in Houston and made people love other players.

Many fans also have a good impression of Howard.

Whether it is the Magic team or the players of Warcraft, their popularity in China has risen rapidly in the past six months. As far as Li Chengming knows, many domestic brands have approached Howard to sign a contract, and this guy

Anyone who comes is welcome, just pay.

The center doesn't sell shoes, and it's too high for many advertisements, so Howard's off-court commercial value has always been out of proportion to his popularity and popularity.

But now that there is a Chinese market, this situation is about to change.

The same goes for the Magic. Even some other Magic players, such as Nelson, who have basically no off-court commercial value, are being targeted by some domestic businesses.

This may also be an important reason why everyone has a harmonious relationship with Li Chengming. After all, to a certain extent, these unexpected incomes are all brought to them by him.

In the past, it was a benefit that only people from Houston could enjoy, but now it is also available in Orlando, because Li Chengming, like Dayao, can "promote his teammates."

As for Milwaukee, because Space Yi was completely suppressed by Li Chengming, although it relieved him a lot of pressure, it also reduced the attention received here.

I guess the general manager of the Bucks is regretting that he chose the wrong person...
