It will be useful if you play

As a lottery pick, Kong Yi's talent is definitely there. The Bucks have been focusing on training this season, so naturally they are willing to give him a chance to practice more.

Especially in the third home game against the Bulls, UAE scored 16 points in 33 minutes. Although the efficiency was still not high, it was a good start to help the team win.

There were wins and losses in the subsequent games, but the playing time of Arab League was stable at around 30 minutes, and his performance was okay, but he couldn't control the fouls.

To be honest, Li Chengming was a little envious of him when he found out. He didn't even ask for thirty minutes, but could give himself more than ten or twenty minutes. He believed that his performance would definitely not be bad and it would also be helpful to the team.

Ah Lian himself is probably quite satisfied. He has always been very clear about his position, and he never thought that he would be able to make steady progress every day.

On the contrary, his fans and the domestic media were dissatisfied, and they found that the team's management and coach may not have any problems, but the team's players, especially the backcourt combination, did.

Although the Bucks' team's style of play is to use the backcourt as the starting point for offense, Mo Williams, you are throwing a mud horse, have you knocked off the passing key?

There is also Reed, both named Michael, but your surname is not Jordan, your efficiency is not high and you still take so many shots, how dare you?

Especially in the game between the Bucks and the Texas Suns, which was played on the same day as the Magic's game against the Suns, domestic fans were finally able to see the true "Chinese Derby". Kong Yi was in pretty good shape and played well.

In his most efficient game, Xiao Mo and Reed made him cry in the end.

Everyone wanted to see Dayao beat BoGou's No. 1 center in a duel with Manli, but with such a high efficiency, the UAE didn't even score 20 points. Naturally, the coach and teammates were scolded.

As for the outcome, there are still more fans supporting Houston, but it's just that it's too easy to win, which makes them feel unsatisfied.

After five games, the Bucks have two wins and three losses, which is not unacceptable for a team in the rebuilding period.

During this period, Ah Lian rarely took the initiative to call Li Chengming and actually came to comfort him. He didn't know whether it was his own intention or who told him to say this.

In fact, Li Chengming didn't need comfort. He just needed to wait quietly for the opportunity. However, he would naturally not refuse someone's kindness. After some encouragement with Ah Lian, his mood improved a lot.

Although their fans are currently at odds with each other on the domestic Internet, there is really no obvious conflict between the two. It's just that the media and some fans who don't know what they have in mind like to compare the two.



The Magic's schedule since the start of the season has been a bit devilish. They have had four consecutive away games, and Saturday's game against the Suns is their third back-to-back.

The schedule of the NBA is very particular. It is said to be random. In fact, the difficulty level of each team is different, and for a team like the Magic, it is definitely not considered to be favored by the league, and may even be treated a little bit poorly.

After all, although the overall lineup has not changed much, with the addition of an All-Star-level second or third player like Lewis, there will definitely be a need to adjust at the beginning of the season.

Although it seems that Lewis is integrating well at the moment.

However, for the current Li Chengming, he is really looking forward to more back-to-backs, because he feels that only in this way, Van Gundy will give himself more opportunities.

Sure enough, on Saturday's home game against the Suns, Li Chengming came on the court in the last three minutes of the first quarter.

However, at this time, the team was already 5 points behind the Suns. In the first quarter, the away team obviously played more proactively.

The Suns are now 4 wins and 2 losses, and they are also a strong team in the Western Conference. The team has two-time MVP Nash, Stoudemire, who is known as the "little bully" in the country, Brazilian lightning Barbosa, hacker Marion and the former

Grant Hill, the successor of Jordan, and Diaw, the spiritual demon striker, are on the bench. The book strength can be said to be very competitive.

However, the head coach of the Suns, D'Antoni, advocates a run-and-gun style of play, which seems a bit inconsistent with the NBA's main theme of "defense wins championships". This makes their offense, although it looks good and their scoring ability is also very strong, but in the

But they were never able to make further breakthroughs in the playoffs.

Today, facing the defensive-oriented Magic team, it was quite a battle between spear and shield.

After Li Chengming came on the court, he quickly felt the difficulty of facing such an opponent, especially for him, because the Suns were too "fast".

The ultimate pursuit of run and gun is an offense of 8-10 seconds per round. Of course, the Suns cannot really achieve this, but through passing, running, and especially the excellent scheduling of team commander Nash, they can achieve this in an instant.

Break through the opponent's defense to complete offensive opportunities.

At the same time, the Suns are actually not completely lacking on the defensive end.

The starting two-guard lineup, Nash + Barbosa, is a little short in height, but the size in the other three positions is still enough.

And something similar to the Magic is that in the Suns' lineup, Hill also assumed some organizational functions. After all, although he was known as Jordan's successor, he played Pippen's style on the court. He and Turkoglu played in the Magic.

The positioning of the teams is pretty much the same.

The Magic's offense places great emphasis on Howard's containment in the penalty area. For example, the reason why Lewis was introduced was because of his shooting range, which can open up space for Howard to create one-on-one opportunities in the three-second zone.

But the Suns promoted Stoudemire to the center position. Stoudemire is not afraid of Warcraft in terms of athletic ability. Marion at the fourth position relies on his excellent judgment to move around. In addition, after a serious injury, his athletic talent has declined but his experience

With Hill, who is becoming more and more aware, the Suns' wing defense can even be said to be a bit strong.

In this game, they still deployed a second and third zone defense, and the space left vacant was Nelson's position at the top of the key.

Nelson is short and stocky, and is used to using pick-and-roll screens to break through to the basket, or block jump shots after blocking the space, but sometimes he is afraid to take shots from outside the three-point line.

He was obviously restricted in this game. He tried a three-pointer but failed. Van Gundy finally couldn't bear it and replaced him and replaced Arroyo on the court.

Arroyo was effective as soon as he came on the court. He took a decisive shot when he had a chance from beyond the three-point line. After trying it once, the Suns didn't dare to let it go.

This kind of thing is not afraid that you will miss the basket, but afraid that you will not even dare to take a shot. After all, Howard in the post can still grab rebounds after taking the shot.

When Li Chengming came on the court, he played the fourth position. Whether facing Marion or Diaw, Skinner would not have much of a height disadvantage. The Magic center position was Adonal Foyle.

Arroyo and Dulin are still on the outside, and Ariza is at the third position.

Not only did Nelson play like a fool against Nash today, making too many mistakes on the offensive end and being unable to prevent him, but Bogans also had nothing to do with Barbosa.

Van Gundy had to let the backcourt of Arroyo and Dulin see the defensive effect. Although it was still not satisfactory, it was at least better than the starting backcourt.

But with Li Chengming on the court, the axis of offense unconsciously tilted towards him, because it was really hard to ignore his big size on the court.

In preseason games and training, Arroyo was very happy to cooperate with Li Chengming, so he was willing to give him lobs on the court as long as he got to his position.

The French forward is similar in stature to Li Chengming, with a height of 2.03cm and 113kg, but is still a whole circle smaller in comparison, so when defending against Li Chengming, Diaw also seemed to have a hard time.

However, this guy was very experienced, and he never stopped harassing him. Li Chengming felt that if he fought for a few more rounds, he would be in full bloom.

However, after these few games, Li Chengming has not played much time and has not had many singles opportunities. However, with the summer league and preseason games, he has seen various types of defenders in the professional arena.

It can be regarded as having some targeted experience.

So at this time, he completely ignored his little movements, patted the ball and suddenly pushed it back.

This caught Boris Diao off guard, and he subconsciously wanted to be clever and tilt his body back, but the referee glanced at him and looked away. At this time, Li Chengming didn't care at all, as long as there was no whistle to remind him

He will continue to do his own actions.

He turned around on his pivot foot, and when he turned around, he saw Stoudemire rushing towards him. This guy still loves to dance as much as he did in the training camp of the American team.

However, Li Chengming directly extended his long arm to bypass him and "push" the ball to the side. Foyle received the ball and made an unguarded empty basket. Naturally, he would not miss such a good opportunity.

Scored, three points difference.

The Magic still couldn't guard against the Suns' attack. Barbosa relied on his speed to pass through the Magic's defense. When Li Chengming turned around, he could only watch him go for a layup, and did not dare to stretch his hand again for fear of losing one.

foul.

Looking back at the Magic's attack, Arroyo held the ball at the top of the arc and Li Chengming set a screen for Dulin. Dulin came around to receive the ball but had no chance to take action.

Li Chengming immediately ran to the line at this time. What he has learned the most in training during this period is that only by running more positions in the offense can he have more opportunities, especially when someone in the team is holding the ball.

The enthusiasm of the end will enhance the tactical effect and increase the threat of personal offense.

The most important thing is to let the coach see your efforts.

This time he ran out of opportunities. Dulin's passing vision and awareness were problematic, but that didn't mean he couldn't pass such a simple ball. Li Chengming caught the ball while running, and he charged like a wild boar.

At this time, Marion was shocked when he recovered to the basket. Feeling the pressure coming towards his face, he was startled and subconsciously took a step back.

Originally, he wanted to have a 1V1 men's contest with him, but seeing him retreat first, Li Chengming immediately changed his mind, but he still scored with a light throw while he was in the air.

His palms are so big that he can easily grab the ball in the air, and when he releases the ball, he can control the curvature of his wrist and the strength of his fingers very well. This is something he has spent a lot of effort to develop over the years.

, only your own power-generating skills.
