Chapter 314 The rampage at the end of the chapter, regret not taking the blame

From the offensive end, although Li Chengming's 20+7+4 data in the three quarters does not look particularly eye-catching, it is not a big problem to say that he tried his best. What can he do if his teammates cannot grasp the opportunity passed out?

Can you control your teammates' hands to help them shoot?

On the defensive end, I knew I couldn't count on him, not to mention that I was stuck in a foul crisis. Even though I got my fourth foul, Gundy didn't dare to let him go. So of course I didn't dare to defend him, so I could only try my best.

Interference, in fact, it can be said that he tried his best and there is no problem.

It's just that teammates also have their own difficulties. The Green Army was obviously more targeted against the Magic this time.

If you don't fight as a whole, then I'll simply dismantle you completely and let you fight on your own.

The result is that the Magic's current offensive model is similar to that of the Celtics, relying on individual isolations to attract double-teams and pass out, but outside shooters cannot grasp it.

In fact, except for Li Chengming, the other players on the Magic team may not be better than the opponent in offensive one-on-one ability. Howard is too rough, Lewis is too soft, and Turkoglu and Nelson are slow. If they cannot form a team,

If they are connected as a whole, the Green Army can definitely take on them one-on-one.

Not to mention that their defense is very layered, and it is impossible for them to really play one-on-one with you.

Van Gundy designed so many offensive routines for the Magic, to a certain extent, to cover up the players' personal offensive ability problems, and also to maximize their respective characteristics.

But when personal optimal points such as Lewis's shooting cannot be used, the tactics cannot achieve the effect, which in turn affects the overall strategy.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, the impact of the previous chaotic rotation began to appear again. The Magic team, which used to have the upper hand during the rotation phase, was directly suppressed this time. The point difference that was originally in single digits quickly widened to two digits.

Counting, after just over three minutes of play, Van Gundy had to call a timeout again.

Suqun sighed: "The Magic team played too hard this time. It feels like they are being led by the opponent all the time. They have no offensive rhythm of their own at all."

Yoga agreed: "You are still smarter when you are older. Everyone on the Green Kai side knows what they should do. On the other hand, on the Magic side, it is easy to get impatient. Once you get impatient, you won't know how to play."

On the bench, Van Gundy looked around and said solemnly: "Next, let's..."

After talking some nonsense, he emphasized the tactics again. At this time, the head coach also became obviously stubborn, thinking that the problem was not his own tactics, but the players' poor execution.

Of course, he said it more tactfully, and the players were more accepting of it.

And it is also true. The impatience of young players is very obvious to the Magic players at this time. Turkoglu and Lewis did not perform well today. It is difficult for them, who are the most experienced, to say anything at this time.

However, although Li Chengming was impatient, he actually regained some of his true colors at this time.

Although it is not advisable to be eager on the field, on the other hand, pressure may turn into motivation. Li Chengming, who originally wanted to play as reasonably as possible, was carried away at this time and only wanted to rely on himself.

On the contrary, it achieved good results.

No, it should be said that it had a frightening effect on the Green Army.

"...Li Chengming got the ball again. This time he hit the ball with his back. Facing a double-team, he chose to go to the left and retreated to the mid-range of the free throw line. There it was again! Li Chengming took 4 consecutive shots after coming up.

All hits, this not only helped the Magic stop the bleeding, but also forced the Celtics to consider adjusting their defensive strategy."

Then the Green Army failed to attack, and the Magic team turned to fast break again, and the point difference was close to 10 points.

Then Pierce stepped forward again, causing Lewis a foul and scoring at the same time. Unfortunately, he missed the extra penalty.

Today he was also aiming for 30+ points, and he has already scored 25 points efficiently, making him a standout with Li Chengming.

Li Chengming's 30th point came soon. This time it was a turn-over jump shot from a 45-degree angle on the left side against the defense. The two people on Lu Kai's side chose to double-team in advance to force him to play, but he faked.

The action deceived two people and almost caused a foul.

Li Chengming's determination in attacking surprised everyone. The Green Army felt annoyed but helpless because no one could match him or hold him down.

In fact, their best defensive strategy against Li Chengming should be to use Perkins to defend, Garnett to help defend, plus harassment from the outside flanks, but in this case, the inside line will easily open up the goal.

Now it's hard to keep Howard and Turkoglu silent. If they suddenly change their defensive strategy and let the other side come alive, it will be really difficult to fight.

Can Li Chengming really be able to deal with their team?

Besides, he can't have it every time he attacks, right?

The Green Army's choice is to slow down the offensive rhythm, reduce the number of rounds, and ensure that they return to defense immediately after the attack fails, preventing the opponent from organizing an effective fast break wave.

This does have some effect, but it is they who suffer the first loss of efficiency.

This time Pierce missed a three-pointer from the outside. The Magic did not rush for a fast break and handed the ball to Li Chengming in the low post on the weak side.

Lu Kai's double-team came faster than before, but Li Chengming raised the ball high, felt the opponent's hand and "acted" a little, causing a foul.

Although I haven’t arrived at BONUS yet, this time I also gave the other side a reminder.

This is the home court of the Magic. The referees may not say they should take more care of the Magic, but they must not think of using random fouls to defend like they did in the previous two games.

Of course, the scale of the playoffs is relatively relaxed at this time, but Li Chengming plays very smartly. If he raises his hand high, they will see it clearly.

And if they want to force Li Chengming to make a mistake, they must first be able to squeeze the opponent.

A very important advantage that Li Chengming has in dealing with double teams is his size and weight, which allows him to have a certain amount of space to move around even after the ball is dead.

If you are pushed into a hurry, like now, the referee will usually give you some face.

Once the Green Army became less decisive on the defensive end, the defensive deterrence of the Green Army dropped a lot. Li Chengming calmed down at this time, and he still knew in his heart that he could not win the game by himself, and he had to bring his teammates together.

Just mobilize them all.

It's okay to attack alone, but you must let your teammates create a threat so that the opponent cannot attack him unscrupulously.

After all, even he can't make every attack against two or three people, and attack in the gap between people, and then he has to ensure efficiency.

When the time entered the last two minutes, the score unknowingly entered single digits again. Thanks to Li Chengming's efforts, the Magic team gradually showed signs of gaining momentum.

What happened in the last two minutes made Lu Kai break into a cold sweat.

First, Li Chengming missed a three-pointer from the outside, but Lewis rushed to grab the offensive rebound and caused a foul. He made two free throws.

Pierce then caused Li Chengming's fifth personal foul and two free throws.

At 1 minute and 20 seconds, Li Chengming held the ball in the high post. The Magic ran an Eagle attack. Nelson attracted the defense and passed back to Li Chengming at the free throw line. He hit another shot from the mid-range. In the fourth quarter, he scored 38 points.

.

At 55 seconds, Green Kai's attack failed again. Rondo seemed to have a brain twitch for a moment. He hugged Turkoglu who was already charging and was sentenced to a technical foul. The Turks made a free throw and received Li Chengming's pass 13 seconds later.

The pass was passed and the layup was successful, and the point difference was only 4 points.

Rivers used his second timeout of the quarter at this time. After some arrangements, Garnett caught the ball and shot and hit the board to stabilize the situation.

At 30 seconds, the Magic hit a three-pointer from outside and were still 3 points away. However, Green Kai used up the time and almost 24 seconds this time. Rondo was forced to hit a three-pointer to end the game. Howard protected the rebound and the Magic took the last six seconds.

The team requested a timeout.

Van Gundy arranged a catching tactic, and Li Chengming feinted a shot to cover Lewis. Lewis came out to catch the ball and hit a three-pointer. The whistle sounded, but this three-pointer was ruled invalid.

Because Pierce fouled Li Chengming first and the replay confirmed that Lewis had made a three-pointer, the time was up.

Li Chengming went to the free throw line to execute the free throw, and made the first free throw. He intentionally missed the second free throw and tried to grab an offensive rebound for a second attack. Unfortunately, he did not have enough time to make a shot.

At the end of the game, the Magic lost at home 97:99 by only 2 points.
