Chapter 162 Geneva refunds money

On January 23, the Magic and the Celtics played on the same day. The Magic defeated the Grizzlies in an away game. The game lost suspense in the third quarter. In the last quarter, the score difference was widened, and it ended up being a 30+ game.

Big victory.

Turkoglu was in excellent form today, scoring 26 points on 6 of 8 three-pointers. Lewis and Howard both scored 16 points. Li Chengming didn't take many shots, making 3 of 6 shots and 5 of 7 free throws, scoring 12 points, 11 rebounds and 8 rebounds.

The quasi-triple-double data of assists can be regarded as regaining some form.

One of the key points of the Magic's victory today is that their three-point shooting exploded. They made 22 three-pointers with a shooting rate of 57%, directly breaking the team's historical record.

In fact, the opponent's small forward Gay performed very well today, but the overall performance of the Magic team was too good. He was alone, unable to defeat many opponents with his fists, and could not turn the tide.

Then two days later on Friday, the voting for this year's All-Stars was completed, and the results were about the same. One week was not enough to reverse the widening gap, so the starting lineup remained unchanged and remained the same.

It just depends on who the coaches will choose to be on the bench.

It was officially announced that the starting five of the Western Conference All-Stars are center Dayao, forwards Duncan and Anthony, and guards Kobe and Iverson.

In fact, McGrady's votes ranked second among the guards, and he should have been the starter. However, due to injury, McGrady eventually withdrew from this year's All-Star Game, and Iverson happened to fill in.

Although the Nuggets' record so far this season is somewhat disappointing, there is no doubt about the scoring ability of the two-gun team. Not to mention the popularity, fans sometimes don't even think about the record when watching football. They hope for a championship.

The point is to see a player you like.

In fact, this kind of mentality is not bad. After all, honor is just incidental. Isn’t the most important thing about watching football is to be happy?

On the Eastern side, of course, there are Howard, Garnett, James, Wade and Kidd. The five of them come from five different teams.

However, except for Howard and Garnett, the other three teams are in trouble. Wade and Kidd may not make the playoffs this season.

This also shows that the All-Stars are actually based on popularity, and if it really depends on popularity, Li Chengming really should go to the main game.

Although he himself feels that his playing style is the same as that of Dayao, which is mainly practical and not suitable for this kind of performance game.

Then the Magic came to Detroit in the evening, and the second showdown with the Pistons in the past few days was also the third game of the season.

Only this time, the Magic lost again.

Wallace fulfilled his promise and the Pistons completed their "revenge".

However, the most outstanding performance in this game was Hamilton. He was in excellent condition and could shoot whatever he wanted. In the end, he scored 35 points, 8 rebounds, 8 assists, and 2 steals with a 65% shooting rate.

The Magic's main loss in this game was on rebounds, with 14 fewer rebounds, and the opponent's shooting percentage was even higher. Wallace only missed one three-pointer, and he and Hamilton teamed up to pull the team together.

hit rate.

In this game, Li Chengming was not as lost as in the last match, but the Pistons still implemented the double-team strategy. Li Chengming scored 13 points on 6 of 9 shots and no free throws.

As expected, the away game was treated like an away game. Li Chengming committed 6 fouls with 5 minutes left in the fourth quarter. The Magic directly lost one of its most threatening offensive points.

And although he sent out 8 assists, he still made 4 turnovers, one of which was quite controversial. There was a suspicion of foul, but the referee did not call it.

Of course, the main reason for this game was that the hole dug in the first quarter was too big. Everyone on the Magic seemed to be lost in the roar of Detroit's home court. They lost nearly 20 points in a single quarter. In the next three quarters, they actually filled the hole, and every time

I could fill in some sections, but in the end I still fell short.

In the end, the audience suffered a bitter defeat at 91:99, and once again ended their winning streak.

Howard and Turkoglu both scored 20+ points. They were chasing points with Li Chengming, but they couldn't handle the pull of other teammates. Lewis didn't know if he was affected by public opinion. This game was inaccurate again and lost in the last minute.

A three-pointer and a mistake directly ruined the final chance to tie the score.

If this had been a home game, Orlando fans might have even started booing Lewis.

Li Chengming also stretched his hips when he came on the field, but he still contributed a decisive victory. It's useless to give you a chance at this critical moment.

Is this Mr. Billion Yuan?

Li Chengming and others will inevitably be asked about related topics after the game. Naturally, it is impossible to say anything bad about his teammates. Li Chengming knows that Lewis still needs to adjust his state. His mentality is a bit anxious, but the more anxious he is, the more likely he will not be able to regain his state.

But as a famous star who still got a big contract, he definitely can't be a green leaf like himself. He also wants to be worthy of the money he gets.

His main problem at present is that his touch is unstable. When he feels good, it's okay, but if he feels bad, it will really hurt the team.

If they were facing an ordinary team, Li Chengming and the others could still find a way to get the team back on the track of victory, but facing a strong team like the Pistons that is almost always online, it would be a bit difficult.

Fortunately, compared with the start of the game, even if they lose now, their offense is relatively stable. This is also an improvement that must be seen.

I believe it will get better and better over time...

Li Chengming didn't expect that his score of less than 15 points in three consecutive games would become news.

Some media said that he was in poor condition after recovering from injury. Some even suspected that the injury had too much impact on him, and some said that he had hit the rookie wall.

In addition, two of these three games were against the "iron-blooded defense" of the Pistons. Some people really thought that he could only abuse others and could not beat strong teams, and that he had shown his true colors.

However, these media are such a virtuous person. They make no noise at any change. In fact, the Magic team does not feel that Li Chengming has declined. If he hadn't used his power to control the ball frequently for the perimeter, their perimeter would have been too.

It may not be that easy to get in.

It's not enough to have open opportunities, you also need to adjust, and you have to encounter a state of hot hands. A shooter is not a microwave oven, even a star-level shooter like Lewis.

For Li Chengming, the biggest problem is actually the decline in personal data, which may affect his All-Star potential.

But it’s impossible for him to put himself above the team’s success, and even if he gets good data, if the team loses because of it, believe it or not, the media will still criticize him?

In fact, it's not that important to make the All-Stars in his rookie season. He will definitely be indispensable in the rookie game anyway. Wouldn't it be good to enter as a starter openly and honestly in the future?

Fortunately, the Green Army also lost, and it was a rare two-game losing streak, losing to the Raptors and Timberwolves at home.

There's not much to say about the Raptors. After all, they are a team in the playoffs, and they caught up with the opponent's full strength. The main four players scored 20 points or more. In this way, the Green Army only lost by two points in the end.

In the game against the Timberwolves, Garnett faced off against his old club. In the end, he didn't know if he saw his former team and was embarrassed to take a cruel shot. He only took 5 shots. The result was that amidst the sounds of Pierce and Ray Allen, the Celtics were defeated.

He was happily dragged into their rhythm by the Timberwolves, and was finally defeated.

This is undoubtedly an upset. Although the original deal with Garnett was seven for one, for such a superstar, seven people may not be able to match the role of one person.

At the very least, if Garnett stays with the Timberwolves, everyone will still expect them to compete for the playoffs this season.

But now everyone knows that they can only perform badly and they can only perform badly. Maybe it's just because these players have also met their old clubs and want to prove themselves.

In this way, the Green Army's total record came to 33 wins and 8 losses, while the Magic's 35 wins and 10 losses still maintained a two-game victory difference. However, they should not be careless. After all, there was still a gap of four games.

Moreover, there will be a direct contest between the two sides soon, which may once again determine the number one spot in the Eastern Conference.

The Green Army has lost to the Magic twice so far this season. Although the regular season is different from the playoffs, which cannot explain too much, it is not a problem if they lose too much. They will definitely try to regain their place.

As for the Magic, they don't want to lose in a row and want to remain first. They definitely want to sprinkle a little more salt on the Green Army. It's best to give them a three-game losing streak.
