Chapter 393 Ten consecutive victories at the beginning
In the past two games, Li Chengming scored not many points, and was taken seriously by the opponent. Even the Kings, who were not very defensive, had a brainless attack on him, and even released Howard.
Since this is the case, Li Chengming is not in a hurry to take action, and the assist data is quite good.
If this continues to fight, according to the words of Director Zhang, "Li Chengming is going directly to assist the king."
Although this may not become a reality, it is impossible for the opponent to pass the ball easily with him, and it is impossible for him to always hit him.
Anyway, for Li Chengming, he will play in another way if his opponent defends. If the opponent has to feel that it is more uncomfortable to let him use data than losing the game, then he will be happy.
Isn't this going to go straight to a record victory?
Fans really have such imagination, because they actually played for a while in the regular season for a while last season. On the one hand, this is the reason for Li Chengming's growth, on the one hand, it is the factor of the team's running-in, and on the other hand, it is the absence of injuries and other absenteeism.
If the Magic can keep healthy this season, they are likely to even create a new team record and achieve 65+ wins in two consecutive seasons. This is quite explosive in history, indicating that a team has been dominant for a period of time.
Of course, it seems too early to imagine this after only three games. I can only say that this is a target, so I can consider it.
However, Van Gundy's attitude towards this is relatively conservative and can be said to be relatively rational.
He knows that it is also very attractive for players to create regular season record records, but if you put too much energy into it, lose too much for regular season record and even cause too fatigue, it will not be beneficial to the playoffs.
For the Magic, the most important goal of this season is actually to strive to defend the title.
Of course, we must first play and see at the beginning of the season. If we feel that there is still strength to attack at the end of the season, it is not a bad idea to try it.
The best record in the NBA's current history is the regular season win record of 82 games, 72 wins and 10 losses created by the Bulls dynasty that year. Moreover, the Bulls also won 65+ wins for two consecutive seasons, and won 69 games in the other season.
The Magic now has two aces, Howard and Lee Chengming, and there is really hope to make a comeback.
Two days later, Monday was again on Monday, and the Magic started their second home game in five consecutive games, facing the league's best record, the Chicago Bulls.
However, the Bulls today have long lost the dominance of the two dynasties led by Jordan back then. It is estimated that they can win the playoffs in the East this season.
For the current Magic team, this kind of opponent must be won.
However, on the Bulls' bench today, Nosioni and Ben Gordon stood up at the same time. The two broke out and won 20+ almost at the same time. As a result, they almost tied the score at the end of the third quarter.
Tkoglu still did not recover his form. Instead, he seemed to have lost his form when he was put on the bench, and he was not even sure about shooting in this game.
However, after Van Gundy was adjusted, Li Chengming and Howard were on the court at the beginning of the fourth quarter, withstood the fierce counterattack of the opponent's rotation stage and gradually widened the score gap.
Li Chengming scored 7 points in a row within two minutes and stood up when needed.
At the end of the game, the Bulls still lost 93:99.
Drew Gooden scored 21 points, making him the most normal performance in the Bulls' starting lineup. If others give some strength, they might win this game.
On the Magic, although Tekoglu made 4 of 15 shots, Li Chengming made 10 of 14 shots, 3 of 5 free throws, scored 24 points, 7 rebounds and 6 assists, Howard made 9 of 11, 5 of 10 free throws, scored 23 points, 16 rebounds and 5 blocks, and the two stars made their strength at the same time.
At the same time, 7 players scored in double digits, which can be said to be a team victory.
Afterwards, the Magic encountered the Phillies, Wizards and Trail Blazers one after another, and achieved another three-game winning streak, expanding their winning streak to 7 games. Their condition was amazing after the start of the game.
Philadelphia's main focus is defense. They have good restrictions on Lee Chengming and Howard, but they also leaked out Tkoglu, Lewis and Nelson on the outside, and the three of them played 20+.
And their own offense could not keep up. While the Magic scored 98 points, they were less than 90 points. It was expected that they would lose.
Li Chengming only scored 15 points, but sent 16 assists, while Howard was limited to fouls and was also affected by the tactics of killing Huo. He didn't play much time and only scored 12 points and 8 rebounds, but still sent 4 blocks.
Howard's defensive skills seem to have reached a higher level this season. He has ranked first in rebounds and blocks since the start of the game, and also ranked in the top three in frontline boards, and ranked in the top five in steals. He has a very good chance of winning DPOY again.
Although there are not many games at present, the names of Magic players can be seen on the data list such as rebounds, assists, blocks, steals, etc., which can prove their strong performance.
As for the efficiency value on both offense and defense, the Magic currently ranks among the top two in the league in both statistics.
So they can limit the Wizards' scoring to below 80 points, and they also scored a season-high 131 points.
At the same time, the 51-point difference is also the largest score difference so far this season.
The Wizards signed a large contract worth $110 million with General Arenas, but Arenas was unable to play at the beginning of the new season.
The result of this game must have allowed the Wizards management to see the huge gap between them and the real champion team, even if the injury-ridden Arenas can make up for the 50-point gap?
Jamison and Caron Butler performed mediocrely in this game, and others couldn't stand up. The Magic once again made a three-quarter check-in.
Howard scored a season-high 31 points, plus 18 rebounds, 3 assists and 3 blocks, and 9 of 14 free throws was not too dragged.
Pitrus also got his second 20 points, Li Chengming scored 26 points, 13 assists and 4 steals. The offense and defense ends in the second quarter were very eye-catching, which was also the key to widening the score.
Tkoglu recovered in this game, scoring 19 points and 7 assists, Lewis scored 14 points and 10 rebounds, and Nelson scored 11 points and 6 assists.
The game against the Trail Blazers was the second time this season was forced to the end, and the Magic were still 5 points behind in the last minute and a half.
But Li Chengming first assisted Tekoglu to make a three-pointer, then made a steal, and then made a layup with one dragon, successfully tied in less than half a minute.
Trail Blazers Roy made a jump shot at the critical moment and made both fouls, but turned around and was beaten to a 2+1 by Li Chengming.
Then Aldridge's jump shot was blocked by Howard, and the Trail Blazers failed to win, losing by 1 point.
Roy scored 27 points in this game, Blake and Otlow also got 20+. The Trail Blazers played well, and at the same time put some restrictions on the Magic's outside.
But Tkoglu broke out, how could he break through, and how did he and Howard cause damage to the basket in succession.
With Li Chengming being restrained by the outside world, the Trail Blazers always miss people under the basket, and there will be problems when they make up for defense.
In this game, Tkoglu made 9 of 12 free throws to score a season-high 35 points, and Howard even made 13 of 20 free throws, but half of them actually came from the opponent's foul tactics that were chased in stages in the third quarter, otherwise the Magic would probably be able to catch up with the score difference at that time.
Li Chengming and Lewis have a relatively average touch. Li Chengming made 5 of 13 shots and Lewis made 2 of 11 shots, but the two of them were still in the middle distance position and outside the three-point line. They can't just look at the data and completely deny their role.
After all, you have won, so it’s all useful. It’s not too late to find a fuss if you lose.
Next, we faced a wave of three consecutive visits, but both the Thunder and the Bobcats were weak teams, but the Mavericks in the middle were difficult to deal with.
However, the schedule is quite friendly to them, so there is no problem. The three consecutive wins ended, which is also the first team in the league to win ten consecutive victories so far.
