Chapter 246 Double-digit lead

Author: Tiamo the Withered

It is well known that Li Chengming's touch is very soft. There are many people who make mistakes after moving out of space. However, there is no need to worry about Li Chengming here. This is also the original touch.

Combined with some skill bonuses, it has a certain effect.

Now in training, Li Chengming can occasionally perform perfect jump shots without hitting the target 100%.

The shooting percentage from beyond the three-point line can also stably reach 60% or even 70%, which is an amazing statistic.

Therefore, when Li Chengming stands outside the three-point line, he will not be like James, and he can be let go by one or two steps, because he can basically score if he is allowed to shoot in the open. On the contrary, he is easily affected when he is interfered. This is also because

The range is too far and difficult to grasp.

In the next offseason training, Li Chengming plans to focus on this area.

Of course, being able to attack stably in the low post, Li Chengming will not take risks by running outside, not to mention that only in this position can he easily attract double teams.

Just like this time, James came forward to double-team him shortly after he got the ball. It seemed that he wanted to catch Li Chengming off guard because he was not on a stable footing. But Li Chengming now has "Eagle Eyes", which can be said to be that he can see six directions. When James

When approaching, he passed the ball without looking at anyone and passed it to Bogans who was free outside.

It was too late for James to turn around and try to defend. Bogans took the ball and shot directly, making a steady three-pointer. It was so easy.

Director Zhang said excitedly: "It's different when Li Chengming comes up. The Magic's offense is simple but effective. Even so, the Cavaliers don't dare to defend him alone!"

Yoga smiled and said: "Li Chengming cannot be restrained by one-on-one defense. If he is allowed to run to the basket, the offense will be guaranteed. Therefore, it is impossible for the Cavaliers to let him attack on his own. They would rather bet on the Magic's outside shooting."

Enter."

Of course, the probability of such a simple opening is still relatively low. The Cavaliers made some mistakes in defensive communication. In the next round, Li Chengming was double-teamed and then passed the ball. Nelson caught the ball and saw the defense and immediately pushed the ball to the bottom corner. Lewis

The direction changed, but at this time Gibson made a save and destroyed the ball out of bounds.

The ball was served again. Nelson came out to receive the ball. Li Chengming pulled up to the high post and set a pick-and-roll for him. After switching defenses, he faced Pavlovic. Nelson seemed to be planning to play by himself. He dribbled through and relied on Pavlovic to hit high.

The layup missed due to interference, but Li Chengming followed up and grabbed the offensive rebound.

James suddenly came up and slapped the back of his hand, intending to take the ball out, but the next second the whistle sounded.

James and Li Chengming were stunned at the same time. When they saw the referee's signal, Li Chengming expected it, but James threw away the ball and stepped forward with his hands open and shouted: "I caught the ball, there is no foul..."

He wanted to explain his intention, but the referee didn't care what the intention was. He really hit his hand and the sound was so loud. Is he blind or deaf?

The live replay clearly showed that Li Yong got the ball first and then let him cut the ball.

James looked up at the big screen with his hands on his hips and shook his head. He didn't know if he felt aggrieved at being targeted or if he was helpless. Anyway, he must be a little unconvinced.

The home fans also gave him high-decibel boos without restraint, especially when Li Yong was slapped on the hand, and a big red mark was placed there, which made people feel that he was not running for the ball.

Basically, they are going for people.

Of course, no one could see it so clearly in the blink of an eye. Li Yong also felt that James might not have done it intentionally, but it did not prevent him from committing a foul. At this time, the number of fouls had accumulated, and Li Chengming was even sent to the free throw line twice.

Free throw.

This is also the reason why James is helpless and dissatisfied. This is tantamount to giving the Magic a successful offense in vain, especially considering Li Chengming's stable free throws. Although entering the playoffs has declined due to the intensified confrontation, it still has some advantages.

87% hit rate.

Sure enough, Li Chengming stepped to the free throw line and made two free throws.

Next, it seemed that he was affected by this foul. James suddenly turned on the violent mode. After getting the ball at the top of the arc, he went straight to the basket and seemed to want to attack the Magic's penalty area in this way.

At this time, it was Li Chengming who was guarding the penalty area. This may be considered a response from him.

However, the Magic team is still using the previous defensive strategy at this time, but the personnel have been changed.

Although the defensive quality is definitely not comparable to Turkoglu + Howard, after withstanding his previous breakthrough steps, it is impossible for him to directly break through to the basket for an easy layup.

Moreover, Li Chengming was still waiting for him. If it was one-on-one outside the reasonable collision area, James could not resist him. After being stuck in the position, he tried to draw a foul but failed, wasting two opportunities.

He responded quickly, or calmed down. He called two more pick-and-rolls, and planned to switch to the guard to beat the smaller guys.

At this time, the Magic had no choice but to step forward and attack from a flank, otherwise Nelson and the others would certainly not be able to stop him.

Although Li Chengming felt that his back was too poor, he didn't have to sit too deep, he could just turn over and hit the board with a 45-degree jumper. He still had to take a few more steps in. Rather than

It was to attract double-teams. Li Chengming thought it was more likely that he lacked confidence in shooting too far away from the basket.

Although the Magic have indeed put a lot of effort into targeting James, basically using everyone nearby to guard him, and the rest of the Cavaliers have indeed failed to give him enough help, they are still 3 out of 11 so far.

The performance of 6 mistakes still made Li Chengming feel very disappointed.

Not to mention the fans who support the Cavaliers and James, they are so disappointed.

Is it worthy of them?

Although before the start of this series, the situations of the two teams were not comparable, and everyone regarded the Cavaliers as a disgrace, they all believed that James was the key to the Cavaliers breaking the game and the decisive factor in their ability to defeat the Magic.

.

As a result, this decisive factor took hold of him first. In this half, it was not even as good as Big Z's performance, which some fans thought was holding him back.

At the last minute, the Magic team replaced all the main players. Li Chengming returned to the fourth position. James called the pick-and-roll to hit him, seeming to regard him as the Magic team's only breakthrough at this time.

But after practicing in the second half of the season, the Magic have been able to hide Li Chengming well without being affected by other factors.

At least he won't be allowed to become the first line of defense against the opponent's outside line. Basically, he will delay the line, and then his teammates will immediately follow and switch defenses. James even needs to call three pick-and-rolls to switch to his side.

At this time, 17 seconds have elapsed.

There was no time in the last 7 seconds, and James could only rush to score. This time, Gibson in the corner did his best and hit a 3-pointer. He even caused a foul on Bogans and received an extra penalty.

At the end of the first half, the Magic ended the half with an 11-point lead at 56:45.

If it weren't for Gibson's crucial 3+1, the Magic would have led by 15 points, and there would be basically no need to play the rest of the game.

But even so, the Magic directly suppressed the Cavaliers for half the game.

During the midfield summary, Director Zhang said: "The Cavaliers' defense is good and there are restrictions on the Magic, but their offensive state is even worse than the Magic's. If they can't get it back, especially the core James himself.

If the offense is not good, it is impossible to expect to win."
