After the confession failed, I went to the NBA to play and lose weight

Chapter 33 Physical Problems (12)

They didn't stay in Shanghai for two days, and even spent half a day with my mother. The Magic team left again and came to Macau.

Here they will play two more games, and the opponent in the first game is the Huaguo Men's Basketball Team.

This time the men's basketball team took a special title, called "Hua Guo Men's Basketball Star Team", but in fact Dayao and Kong Kongyi did not come. The starting lineup was Liu Wei, Wang Lei, Zhu Fangyu, Wengert and Wang Zhizhi.

Well, it’s actually not wrong to say that, because Wengert is actually an American, and the substitute and Odeje are all stars in Sybil. Taking them out can be regarded as "using the barbarian to control the barbarian".

Of course, there are no specific rules and requirements for the NBA's preseason games, let alone the Huaguo game, where the host and the guest can do whatever they want, so there is no problem with this lineup that should actually be the "Sibie Star United".

The starting lineup for the Magic is Nelson, Bogans, Turkoglu, Li Chengming and Howard. Van Gundy also seems to want to give Li Chengming a chance, and after all, the preseason game is different from the regular season. Most of them are for the team to inspect players and practice lineups.

Of course, it's also because the Huaguo men's basketball team is too weak. Even if there are foreign players, they can only play against Xibey's foreign players, and they are not considered by NBA coaches.

At the Venetian Stadium, the game officially started at almost eight o'clock in the morning.

Finally got the chance to start, Li Chengming also seemed a little excited, although even the system felt that it was not worth mentioning in the preseason, and there was no reaction at all, but because it was played in front of the domestic folks, these two games were very important to Li. Being famous has a different meaning.

It's a pity that Space Yi is still participating in the Bucks' preseason game at this time, and the two teams did not directly confront each other in the preseason, so the contest between Li Chengming and Space Yi that everyone is looking forward to may not be seen until the regular season.

In this game, Big Zhi felt good, helping the Hua Guo team lead at the beginning of 9:3, and Li Chengming, who was full of courage and courage, didn't get a chance to make a move.

Wengert, No. 208 of the Huaguo Men's Basketball Team, is 115cm tall and weighs [-]kg.

In fact, it was Howard himself who was careless, coupled with the lack of vision, otherwise he would have passed directly to Li Chengming at that time, and he would have had the opportunity to face an empty basket.

Van Gundy called a timeout on the sidelines, and the audience and commentators were very excited during the timeout.

Although the Magic team has Li Chengming as their own, the Huaguo United team must still be ranked higher, and emotional factors make them stand on that side.

Yoga said: "Li Chengming can perform well in this game, but I still hope that the men's basketball team can take away the victory."

However, this vision obviously cannot be realized. During the timeout, Van Gundy made arrangements, mainly for the opponent's three-pointer.

Today, the men's basketball team is very accurate in three-pointers, and the inside of the Magic team, Li Chengming is not easy to defend, Howard is alone, Nelson and Bogans are not big enough, and the interference is not enough. .

So Van Gundy decisively replaced Li Chengming and replaced him with Garrity.

Li Chengming sat on the sidelines, looking a little disappointed.

He just felt like it was a chain reaction after playing. The coach was quite optimistic about himself, but now he was left on the bench again.

Obviously if he just played around him, he is confident to deal with Wengert or Big Zhi.

But how can the team play around him as a rookie now?

The offensive end didn't work, and the defensive end didn't work, so he had to end.

And after he got off the court, the Magic started chasing points.

Although Wengert hit a three-pointer at the top of the arc after a timeout, Garrity's perimeter defense effect did not seem to be much better than Li Chengming's, but he quickly played a role on the offensive end, scoring two consecutive three-pointers to help the Magic catch up. To only three points.

After that, the Magic gradually found their status, and the starters played well. They overtook the score at the end of the first quarter, and relying on Augustine's layup, they ended the first quarter with a 24:18 lead of 6 points.

Li Chengming, who was immediately replaced, naturally sparked heated discussions. Some fans felt that the men's basketball team felt so good at first, no wonder he was there.

The commentator also said in the live broadcast room: "Li Chengming is strong offensively and weak defensively, but unfortunately he has not had a chance to play offensively today."

"Hey, boy, cheer up!" Just after helping Augustine wave the towel, Howard turned around and began to comfort Li Chengming.

Li Chengming looked at this happy beast with a heart-warming smile, and his mood improved a lot.

Although some outsiders criticized Warcraft as the leader of the team, sometimes it is too joking and not serious enough, but Li Chengming thinks it is good to have such an atmosphere in the team.

And Van Gundy didn't seem to notice Li Chengming's performance, but just let him get ready to play in the second quarter.

"Keith, pass the ball to Li Duo, or he'll be mad at me."

Hearing the head coach's words, Li Chengming was stunned for a moment, and didn't react until everyone around him smiled and looked at him.

Then seeing Van Gundy's chubby face also showing a smile, he couldn't help scratching his head and laughing stupidly, the depression just now was naturally gone with a smile.

"Okay, come on up guys."

Obviously, Van Gundy did not give up Li Chengming, but just wanted to endure him. At the same time, letting him play when the team is leading can also give him free hands and feet to perform without any pressure.

It means that he has done both good and bad people, and he has indeed made clear arrangements for Li Chengming.

"Li Chengming is on the court again. The second quarter is the offensive opportunity for the men's basketball team -- oops, it's a pity that the ball didn't make it!"

"Looking at the Magic's attack, Bogans came up and directly lobbed Li Chengming. Li Chengming faced Ao Dejie. The height difference between the two was half a head, but Li Chengming's body did not suffer at all. I can't bear it..."

Li Chengming didn't play well before, and the Huaguo star team didn't take him too seriously. Ao Dejie, who had played briefly in the NBA, even planned to teach this rookie a lesson with jealousy.

Li Chengming's size didn't make him cowardly, but after being bumped twice, he immediately felt a little cowardly, and he had to.

Why is this kid so fierce?
Anyone who meets Li Chengming head-on for the first time will have this feeling, even the stars of the US team training are the same, let alone him.

And Li Chengming would choose to be cautious and reasonable in yesterday's balance of power situation, but in this kind of advantageous situation, he is no worse than anyone else, so when he senses that the other party is about to retreat, he becomes even more motivated, first ruthlessly. Leaning back, Ao Dejie instantly felt that his feet were about to lose his footing.

It was at this moment that Li Chengming turned around and roared, and shot at the same time.

"Li Chengming's hot-blooded jumper, here it is!"

"Oh, Li Chengming beat this Ao Dejie with his hands."

For the commentator, although he represents the Huaguo star team, Li Chengming is his own.

When retreating, Li Chengming beat his chest, finally venting some pressure.

The strength gap between the two teams is too great, and then there is such a disparity in the matchup as Li Chengming, and Ao Dejie can't defend alone.

He also wants to make some small moves, but Li Chengming has the experience of facing Master Gudeng, and these few times the position is relatively deep. If he has other calculations, Li Chengming can use it near the three-second zone. Hooks and throws to finish, not necessarily physical contact with him.

And after the star team had no choice but to double-team, he assisted Bogans to hit an outside three-pointer, which directly opened up the whole situation from his point.

Nearly 5 minutes into the second quarter, under the leadership of Li Chengming, the Magic's substitutes had pulled the score to 13 points. The Huaguo Star Team called a timeout, and Van Gundy was also going to let Li Chengming go off the court to rest first. .

For Li Chengming, this style of play can maximize his personal advantages, but at the same time it consumes too much energy.

Even if he has lost some weight now, the burden is still there, not to mention that the low position is hard to dig, even the position is stuck, and the position itself needs to consume melee.

Li Chengming's physical strength is already considered good, and he can still fight, but Van Gundy thinks it is unnecessary, after all, they are not only Li Chengming.

If it is to test the players, these 5 minutes are almost enough.

"Li Chengming came off the court to rest. In the second quarter, he scored 8 points and 2 assists. He almost defeated the men's basketball team by himself. The men's basketball team is under a lot of defensive pressure, and it feels like the rhythm of the offense has also been affected."

The Huaguo star team's foreign players are basically insiders, and the outsiders are domestic players. Liu Wei's physical fitness and shooting skills are just like that. Even if they face Li Chengming in a pick-and-roll, there is no way to hit him directly.

After passing him, the Magic's flanks will quickly help defend, and the Magic's defensive rotation is very fast. They can't find a chance and waste time reorganizing.

After they made a few three-pointers in the first quarter, the Magic's defense changed. The formation expanded outwards, a bit like a two-and-three, but it became Li Chengming at the basket. This is to make up for his maneuvering. lack of sex.

The opponent's offense was not smooth, which naturally gave the Magic some fast break opportunities.

After Li Chengming went off the court, the Magic still firmly held the advantage. Arroyo suddenly broke out and scored consecutive points. The Magic opened the point difference to 67 points with 37:30.

The fans on the sidelines have lost their voices. At this time, it feels like shouting or not shouting, after all, Li Chengming is not on the court.

"I didn't expect the gap with NBA teams to be so big..."

Although it was not unexpected before the game, when it happened, it still made many people find it difficult to accept. Even Li Chengming's performance was not many people paid attention to.

At this stage, the Magic didn't have any more painstaking killers. The second half was almost played with a rotation lineup, and Li Chengming naturally got more chances to play.

However, Arroyo got up to speed, and Li Chengming didn't compete with him for the limelight. He only did some work of grabbing rebounds and opening up space.

The Huaguo Star Team originally wanted to let him go, but he was honest after scoring two long points. Li Chengming's shooting must not give him an open chance. Even in the confrontation, his hand shape is very stable, so he can't catch it to the ball, or try not to release it comfortably.

Of course, it can also consume his physical strength, because this match lasted 9 minutes. Even in the preseason match, this kind of confrontation is not at the same level as the college class match-the opponent is too far behind, so after the match Li Chengming was sweating profusely and panting, as if he had a kidney failure.

Fortunately, his endurance and cardiorespiratory ability are good, and he can adjust after rest, but this feeling makes him feel a little worried.

I never thought that physical strength might become my weakness...
