Chapter 31 Li Chengming’s Weakness (22)

Of course, Li Chengming had a bright smile on his face at this time. In fact, when he saw the system's task, he refused. You can't ask me to defend James, so I will defend. I must see if I can defend.

And now I find that I can defend myself, at least a little bit.

Regardless of whether James wants to challenge him next time, Li Chengming feels that he is not at a loss after successfully setting up the game this time.

James was naturally furious. The moment he stood up, Li Chengming looked in his eyes and almost thought he was coming to challenge him.

But James, what a gentleman he is, would naturally not do anything to conflict with others on the court, not to mention that the target is a rookie like Li Chengming.

In order to safeguard the king's honor, he chose to forgive Li Chengming for his disrespectful act.

Disdain!

This is just a gift from the king, so take it.

With just a glance at Li Chengming, James asked his teammates to serve and continue the attack.

The Cavaliers are still leading now, and they can't mess up their position on their own.

However, Li Chengming's goal is very effective in boosting the morale of the Magic team. A beautiful offense and defense can easily boost morale, so sometimes stars need to appear at critical moments, because they can not only score but also score.

of beautiful.

Not to mention that Li Chengming was the core of defeating James as a rookie. Then the Magic actually stabilized the situation when Howard and Nelson were not on the court, and did not let the score further open, and even got closer.

a bit.

At the end of the third quarter, the Magic trailed the Cavaliers by only 69:72 by three points. Li Chengming also contributed a mid-range shot and two free throws from the free throw line. His 7 points became his best score during this period.

Great hero.

So at the beginning of the fourth quarter, Van Gundy thought about it and kept Li Chengming on the court, but moved him to the fourth position.

He returned to a familiar position, but did not get a chance to perform immediately, because Turkoglu broke out and scored six points in a row. One of the goals was related to Li Chengming. He grabbed the offensive rebound and passed it back.

Turkoglu caught the ball and made a direct throw.

The Magic took the lead until Li Chengming came off the court again, with more than seven minutes left in the fourth quarter. The Magic temporarily led by 2 points at 77:75. In the long four minutes, the Cavaliers only relied on

Shannon Brown hit a three-pointer.

To be honest, even Van Gundy was a little surprised, because Li Chengming did not become a breakthrough on the defensive end during this period. On the contrary, on offense, his ball transfer was much better than he thought.

During the previous team training, Li Chengming actually had problems with his passing vision when he was interfered by the defense, especially when the weak side had to transfer the ball to the strong side in a duel. If there was no intermediate transition, it would be difficult for him to distribute the ball directly.

There were many mistakes.

After all, NBA players are not as devoid of tactical literacy and awareness as domestic college students. They are very professional in blocking space and passing routes. They have a set of experiences that have been summed up long ago. Li Chengming also wants to use his own

The way college students behave is naturally impossible.

After these hours of training, Li Chengming naturally discovered his own problems early on and began to sum up his experience.

Although I can't say how much progress he has made now, he also knows that he can rely on his teammates. After all, his current teammates are no longer the wastes he used to need to carry.

After Li Chengming left the game, the main players of the two teams actually returned to the court one after another. Redick didn't feel very good this time. In the end, Van Gundy chose to put Garrity on the court. He can also shoot three-pointers and can replace Lewis to a certain extent.

function.

After all, this game has been entangled until now, and neither side wants to give up easily. The outcome was not important at first.

After more than three minutes, the two teams were tied at 84 again. The Cavaliers' role players broke out. Anthony Tolliver and Ira Newbell hit consecutive hits, and Van Gundy had to call a timeout.

Looking at the players gathered in a circle, Van Gundy thought for a moment, suddenly called Li Chengming over, and then began to set up.

"Remember our tactics, play more inside, and pay more attention to the ball's transmission. You must also guard the defensive end, help me control LeBron's passes, and let me see your energy!"

"YES SIR!"

"OK, let's go out and win this victory!"

Returning to the court, Li Chengming replaced Garrity this time. This was the first time in the preseason that the coach put himself on the court at the last critical moment. This was also a sign of trust, even if it was only for this one game.

Seeing Li Chengming take the field at this time, everyone else was surprised, and the audience was naturally very excited. After all, they wanted to watch Li Chengming play now, and the victory or defeat was secondary.

The ball that Li hit James before he became famous has stayed in their minds and become a classic, and it has started to be played on a loop.

The head coach of the Cavaliers is Mike Brown. He has a bald head, wears a pair of glasses, and has a very kind face. At this time, he just stared at Li Chengming from the sidelines and was stunned for a moment, and then fell silent, as if he wanted to imitate.

Zen Master, it's a pity that his eyes are not in place, he doesn't wander in the void, and he lacks that sense of mystery.

James fans just feel heartbroken after watching this. How come the team has such a coach? When will James meet a famous coach?

"Okay, the game starts again..."

The two commentators who had also been screaming for Li Chengming's goal before were laughing when they saw Li Chengming playing again in the CCTV live broadcast room.

Although it feels like the Magic coach gave Li Chengming more opportunities today to please the domestic fans, they are still very satisfied, especially since Li Chengming performed well, so they are even more satisfied.

The ball was replayed during the live broadcast, and it was replayed every time it was paused. The two of them were also talking about it and they were all excited. Those who didn't know thought that this game was led by Li Chengming. In fact, the one with the highest score now is Howard.

and Nelson.

"Let's take a look at the Magic's next attack. There are still more than three minutes left. The score between the two teams has been very tight. It may be a stalemate until the end - Huh, Li Chengming came up and caught the ball in the low post.

, versus Gooden.”

The Cavaliers' defense is still very reliable. Mike Brown may leave the offense to James, and he is not very good at adapting on the spot, but there is still a way to train defense, not to mention that the Cavaliers have gathered so many defensive elites.

They were able to reach the finals last season by relying on one of the best defense in the league, but on the offensive side, because Hughes did not seem to match well with the system with James as the core, which made the former 20+ scorer unable to show his performance.

To show the expected strength, in the end they can only beat James' single core.

It was precisely because of the monotonous offensive style and the fact that James' shooting flaws were caught by the Spurs that he was swept cleanly in the finals.

However, although Gooden and Big Z and others restricted Duncan in the finals in June, allowing Shi Fo to lose the FMVP, but he seemed unsustainable in the face of Li Chengming.

Of course, after receiving the ball, Li Chengming seemed uncomfortable facing Gooden's hands that were constantly turbulent behind him. He wanted to find a comfortable angle to shoot, but his opponent obviously would not give him this opportunity easily. In addition, the situation was different at this time.

Every offense is important to the team, but Li Chengming still made the choice he felt was best.

Van Gundy saw Li Chengming pass the ball back to Turkoglu on the sidelines and couldn't help but shook his head secretly.

Although he knows that asking him to shoulder the responsibility of the team now is a bit overwhelming, and this choice is okay and reasonable, but from a closer look, it seems that Li Chengming is still not confident enough in himself, or he feels guilty at the critical moment.

The fans were also a little disappointed. They wanted to see Li Chengming fight on his own.

The two commentators in the CCTV live broadcast room began to speak for Li Chengming: "As for this ball, the choice is very reasonable. The position Li Chengming wants is not deep enough. Gooden still has a lot of defensive experience. There are people on the side who may interfere at any time. Li Chengming

It was right not to take action directly, but it would be better to reorganize the situation after passing the ball back."

After Nelson used a pick-and-roll breakthrough to assist Howard for a dunk, Director Zhang immediately said: "Hey, look at this ball, doesn't it prove that Li Chengming made the right choice? He should re-conduct it and find a more reasonable way to score. Li Chengming

It also provided enough threats from the side, so that the Cavaliers did not dare to press forward easily..."

Now even Li Chengming's fans couldn't help but want to roll their eyes when they heard this. Even farting with Li Chengming can be said to be helping the team to gain opportunities, right?

After several offensive and defensive rounds, the Magic still led the Cavaliers by two points. At this time, Devin Brown came out to receive the pass from James and was about to kill the basket. However, Li Chengming immediately stepped forward with Turkoglu to form a

encircled.

This goal actually had an omen in front of it, because there was an almost identical goal scoring routine in front of it, and it was rare for Li Chengming to form a tacit understanding with his teammates.

Brown tried to pass back to James, but Li Chengming blocked it with his body and stretched his arm to intercept the ball.

Nelson's short legs were already moving very fast in front, but James was the first to catch up.

Li Chengming made a lob pass halfway through the court. This kind of passing does not require special practice for him. He has heard it passed many times before. Nelson received it very comfortably. Before James arrived, he made a standard three-step layup.

hit.

89:85, the score was extended to 4 points.

At this time, there are 18 seconds left on the clock, and the outcome of the game has been decided.
