Chapter 109 But he is a handsome player

There are more than two minutes left in the first quarter, the score is 13:20, and the visiting Magic team is temporarily behind by 7 points.

At this time, both teams were starting their rotations. On the small team, Tracy McGrady, who had taken a break, came back with four substitutes. On the Magic team, it was all substitutes, but with Li Chengming there, he could be considered a main force.

McGrady's shooting touch was not good today. He missed the previous 4 shots. This time he finally made a mid-range pull-up.

Trish's efficiency this season, which loves to nap, has reached a new low since he entered his peak period. His three-point shooting and free throw shooting percentages have plummeted. Due to injuries, his athletic ability has also weakened, leaving him with only a sometimes ineffective work.

Take the jump shot.

Li Chengming looked on with envy on his face. Of course, what he envied was not the blurred eyes, the sad stubble, those sexy calves, or his 1-in-5 shooting percentage, but his beautiful shooting.

The heroic figure of the painting.

They say dry pulling is ineffective, but it looks cool.

They say holding the ball with one hand is useless, but it looks cool.

They say Tracy McGrady is no longer as brave as he once was, but he is a handsome player.

Especially since he is taller than Li Chengming, but his dribbling is natural, from controlling the dribbling to shooting, everything is so beautiful. It makes people feel that if he learns this skill, he will definitely become the most handsome boy on the court.

They had played against the Lakers before, and Li Chengming had also seen another current shooting guard with picturesque shooting. I can only say that there is a reason for his high popularity.

Iverson's butterfly step, Carter's dunk, Kobe's fadeaway jumper, and McGrady's pull-up, everyone has a picturesque signature move.

It's a pity that he is destined to be unable to learn. It's not a matter of body shape. Li Chengming feels that it will be difficult for him to catch up just because of his sense of ball.

Unless you "develop" your talent in this area later, for example, you can exchange it for a human-ball combination-related skill in the system mall.

However, Li Chengming also has his own style of play. After all, basketball games are still about who scores more points and who can put the ball into the basket better. Li Chengming may not have such outstanding aesthetics, but his solid footsteps in the low post and

The heavy strength and confrontation left the opposing defender unable to do anything.

McGrady thought about coming to interfere, but Li Chengming had already caused Scola to panic. The whistle sounded and the thug committed a foul.

Scola is also a rookie this year, but he was not selected in the 2007 draft, but was selected by the Spurs with the 56th overall pick in 2002.

However, the Spurs did not sign him immediately because he still had a contract at that time, and the parent team demanded a high buyout fee, which was obviously impossible for the always "frugal" Spurs.

.

So he continued to play in European leagues, and it wasn't until this year that the Spurs sent the signing rights to Houston and bought out his contract, and he was able to officially land in the NBA.

According to the NBA rookie record, Scola is also considered to be a rookie in his first year, but at the age of 27 this year, he can no longer be described as an "older rookie". He has long been a mature product.

He performed well during the game.

So after the start of the game, Scola is basically a microwave-type player who can perform well when he comes on the court.

He has excellent inside footwork and a sense of rebounding. If given enough playing time, it will not be difficult for him to achieve a double-double.

In the tenth game of his NBA career in San Antonio against the Spurs, he even scored his first 20 points. He is also one of the rookies with outstanding performance. However, with Yao in the paint, Coach Adelman chose

Equipping him with a short blue-collar guy like Hayes.

As a rookie, Scola has not yet been able to fully gain the trust of the coaching staff. It was only at this time that he was allowed to play, but it happened to be against Li Chengming.

His current playing time schedule, except for the first half of the first quarter, is actually playing mixed with the main players most of the time.

Van Gundy is still trying different lineup combinations. Of course, he will not mess around. Once he finds something is wrong, he will make adjustments, especially the random combination of inside lines, which invisibly improves his on-the-spot adaptability.

Scola and Hayes are two completely different types. He is 2.06 meters tall. He is not at a disadvantage playing the fourth position, but his wingspan is average. As a white player, he moves slowly, defends poorly, and has explosive power.

He is weak, his physical fitness is relatively average, and he suffers from all the common diseases.

In terms of confrontation, his strength was not weak, but in defense he seemed a bit weak. Li Chengming experienced a completely different style from when he faced Hayes, so much so that he almost couldn't believe it.

To a certain extent, they can also be regarded as a duel between rookies.

After being ravaged by Li Chengming on the defensive end for two consecutive rounds, the home fans couldn't bear to watch their matchup. The on-site commentator even said: "For Dayao's sake, let the Argentinian go.

Lee can put the basketball in the basket with just one turn, so why bother?"

Obviously Adelman also realized that not everyone is like Hayes. Hayes can at least withstand Li Chengming, although he still can't guard against him, but Scola will be eaten alive by Li Chengming if he continues like this.

It was also thanks to Li Chengming's strong attacks that the Magic team chased the score to 4 points before the last half minute.

Then LOSER Hyde missed a shot, Li Chengming protected the rebound, and then faced Scola again in the low post. He continuously drove into the paint and then turned around and was about to lay up when the whistle suddenly sounded.

Li Chengming still threw the ball into the net, but then he realized that he had committed an offensive foul.

Referee No. 83, who is estimated to be 38 years old this year, made a gesture of hitting someone with the ball. Li Chengming glanced at Scola, who was being pulled up by his teammates, and stepped forward to argue with the referee.

I don’t understand it when I see someone else calling the referee for a foul, but when I actually play the game myself, I know that it is necessary to maintain a certain amount of communication with the referee, even if he really committed a foul this time.

Because judging from the replay, Scola did stand in a good position and his feet were just outside the circle. Li Chengming was suspected of using his elbow when he turned around. He could have blown it or not, but Scola fell neatly to the Toyota Center.

I have contributed to cleaning the floor, so I have to give him some face.

Li Chengming also knew that it was indisputable, so he said a few clichés and went back to the basket.

Because the number of fouls has accumulated, Scola is going to take a free throw directly at this time.

After both free throws were made, the score difference was six points again, and there were still 15 seconds of attack time. Li Chengming served to Dulin to advance with the ball. He did not deliberately ask for the ball to be returned directly. That was an immature performance.

So he brought it up and set up a pick-and-roll for Dulin, and then after breaking it, he attracted the defense from the outside, allowing Dulin to kill Scola and force a layup against Scola, but he also caused a foul.

After both free throws were made, there were 2 seconds left. The Xiaoqiang team missed a long-range three-pointer from the backcourt. The first quarter ended with the score at 20:24.

Suqun concluded: "In the first quarter of the game, the Magic team was not in good shape at the beginning. Maybe it was due to the fatigue of traveling and traveling, and the overall shooting rate was not high. But after Li Chengming came on the court, they gradually narrowed the point difference, and Houston The rotation lineup simply cannot withstand the Magic’s counterattack.”

It's normal for the defense to be unable to stop them, but they also didn't play well offensively and failed to hold on to the score advantage.

Although they are still in the lead, the momentum has already come to the Magic's side.

However, because he started early in the first quarter, Li Chengming took a break at the beginning of the second quarter. Lewis and Turkoglu came on the court together, along with Dulin, Evans and Foyle.

This lineup produced good results. Of course, it's not so much that they played well as it was that the opponent's offense was more stretched.

The Texas team's current lineup featured Yao and Scola on the court, McGrady was still on the court, and the backcourt combination was Hyde + Alston. As a result, the back line was overwhelmed.

Alston can at least respond on the offensive end, but Hyde really can't score and defend.

Dulin made consecutive breakthroughs and drew fouls, and Evans also hit a three-pointer directly against the 188cm Alston. The Magic went on a 9:4 run and directly overtook the score.

The main problem is actually that during this period of time, the small team clearly had a strong point like Yao. As a result, Alstom attacked. After Alstom's attack, Tracy McGrady's attack, and then Hyde or Scola caught the ball and made a shot.

Of course, Yao had some problems of his own. He once made a mistake when he failed to catch the ball with his buttery hand, and missed two consecutive penalty kicks under the basket. In the end, the rebound was snatched back by Lewis.

The two teams actually contributed to a 4-minute iron fight. The efficiency was not very high, but the rebounds were quite fierce. The two teams added up to more than 40 rebounds, which is 40 pieces of iron. The output of the Houston Steel Plant The efficiency is amazing.
