Chapter 60 Defensive Weaknesses
wow...

Until this moment, the atmosphere that was a little calm and even suppressed before was like throwing dynamite into a lake and blasting it, and the noise went straight to the roof of the stadium.

Exclamations and boos rang out one after another from the sidelines. The Cavaliers side was in a state of shock; the magic team's bench was full of demons dancing, with towels and paper cups flying around.

The players of the Magic team couldn't help but ran to Li Chengming across the half court. They couldn't help but pat his body and touch his head one by one. Own.

And Li Chengming stood there after landing at this moment, he seemed a little dazed, but he didn't expect that he would really do it.

Of course, thanks to James' willing cooperation, if he had been as smart as himself to find a way to run away instead of meeting him, even if it was a bit embarrassing, at least such a shocking scene would not have occurred.

However, for a star of James' level, retreat may be more difficult to accept than failure. At that time, he actually didn't have much choice.

He is also young, maybe he will know in a few years, sometimes fighting and retreating is not a kind of iron blood?
And after getting up with the support of his teammates, and looking at Li Chengming, who was surrounded by the Magic teammates and still a little stiff, James' face instantly became very ugly, and he could even feel his heart raging from his eyes. anger.

I think he has been the pride of heaven since he turned to play basketball. With this body, he has no opponents in his age group. He has always been the one who dunks others. When was he...

Oh, yes, it's okay.

But in his heart, facing Li Chengming was a bit of a plot of grievances, and it was this kind of psychology that made the choice to face him just now, and it was precisely this that made him even more unbearable now.

Not only did I not get back the place, but I let him do it again.

He will definitely fight back!
It's just that Mike Brown didn't give him this chance, and replaced him in the next round. In fact, it was to protect him, but James got a mouthful of old blood stuck in his throat. When he got off the court, he glanced at Brown expressionlessly. , did not greet him.

After the referee managed to disperse the hot-headed players on both sides, the game finally continued. Van Gundy was also very clear-headed. Although he still kept Li Chengming on the court, he was not allowed to touch the ball in the future. Performance.

To be honest, although this ball is very explosive, it has greatly boosted the morale of the Magic team, especially at the critical moment when the opponent is chasing points, and it is also a big blow to the morale of the opponent. The score was re-opened soon after.

But for Li Chengming personally, it is still a bit dangerous.

If James had thought more about the ball just now and pulled him down in the air, or put a foot under it, Li Chengming might have been injured.

So he needs to calm down, but Van Gundy also saw more possibilities for Li Chengming from this ball.

Usually he plays on the floor, but his physical fitness is there, and he can do it with one or two shots occasionally.

And this is very useful at critical moments. On the NBA stage, talent is more useful than so-called hard work.

After a few more rounds, with less than 2 minutes left in the third quarter, Li Chengming was also replaced. This is also a kind of protection for him, otherwise it always feels like he is provoking James. .

The league is not only about fighting and killing, but also people with sophistication and seniority and status. For a rookie like Li Chengming, if he keeps pushing his nose on his face or even jumping on other people's face to shit, James doesn't have to do it himself, maybe some younger brother will stand up up.

If Li Chengming fell here, it would be too worthless.

Of course, Li Chengming knew what was good and bad, so he didn't say anything, but he was still in a good mood, and he fisted and clapped his teammates one by one at the end.

"Hey, to tell you the truth, I wanted to dunk him a long time ago, but unfortunately you preempted me."

Li Chengming turned his head and looked at Ariza who was talking to him. He never expected that this little black boy would suddenly show his crab legs, and asked curiously, "Uh, what's your holiday?"

Ariza scratched his head in embarrassment, and said, "He dunked me before, and I always wanted to find a chance to return it."

Is there such a thing?
Li Chengming can't remember, after all, Trevor Ariza is a small person, what is there to brag about for a superstar like James who is separated from a small person?
The media doesn't publicize it, and the outside world doesn't know about it. Probably only Ariza will remember it in his heart.

But he still held grudges, Li Chengming patted him on the shoulder and smiled, he liked it.

The so-called enemy of an enemy is a friend. Although Li Chengming felt that he and James were not enemies, they both looked at each other a little uncomfortable, and their positions must be opposite, so he felt that his relationship with Ariza was much closer.

Ariza even chatted with Li Chengming about James's black material that he didn't know. When Li Chengming asked him why he knew so well, he said that he read his dirty stuff on the Internet the night he was detained.

Li Chengming: "..."

……

Both Li Chengming and James were off the court, but for the two teams on the court, the strength gap was immediately highlighted.

At present, Li Chengming's effect on the Magic is definitely not as good as that of James on the Cavaliers. Let's not say that the team is not friendly, but this Cavaliers is obviously built around James, and he usually organizes the ball. The team's offense suddenly turned off the team's brains. Although the others were not completely incapable of playing, they still played a bit messily.

On the Magic side, Howard reappears in the penalty area to sit in the penalty area, just like the magic needle of the sea, and it can also ensure that the Magic can complete more defenses and counterattacks.

So far this season, the Magic's counterattack score is at the forefront of the league, relying on the effect of the defense with Howard as the core.

The result of this is that Mike Brown had to bring James up again early in the fourth quarter, because the Cavaliers had fallen behind the Magic by 11 points after three quarters.

And Van Gundy seems to have suddenly become enlightened, or this seemingly rigid coach occasionally has this kind of bad taste, and he even took Li Chengming on the court afterwards.

However, instead of letting him go to the third position to face James, he arranged to go inside to bully Alexander Pavlovich.

James still seems to be brooding over Li Chengming, but sitting on the bench for a while is enough for him to calm down, and he is no longer obsessed with finding Li Cheng's list.

But let teammates pull Li Chengming out, and it's still okay for the defender to hit him in a misplaced position.

When changing defenses after pick-and-rolls, Li Chengming actually knew the opponent's back line in his heart, and even took time to learn about many players in the league.

The information that the team can get is definitely more and more useful, and some game videos can also be seen, from which at least they can know what kind of defense is the best to use when facing different players.

For example, those with strong breakthrough shots and weak shots should take a step forward and wait for sudden shots. Naturally, those with strong shots should interfere at any time, and be careful not to be close to the body, because his turn is slow, and if he is too close, he is easy to be caught Overcome this weakness directly.

Li Chengming knew that if he was pulled to the outside, he would only be the team's first line of defense, but that didn't mean he could relax completely.

But knowing it is one thing, and defending it is another. Daniel Gibson seems to have used a hundred-for-one card today. Now he has shot five-for-five, and Li Chengming dare not let it go. The result is that he defended too much. From the outside, it is easy to be swayed, and it is not as easy to chase back as it is to James.

And Gibson broke through the inside twice and passed to the air-cut James. James played off the ball like a decent player.

In fact, it is not difficult for him, as long as he throws off the defender in an instant and receives the pass, the basket is empty for him, because Howard and Li Chengming have been pulled out, and it is too late to return to the defense, and the big deal is to pass again. go out.

After playing like this for 4 minutes, the Cavaliers recovered a few points. Seeing that Li Chengming was being targeted as a breakthrough, Van Gundy quickly replaced him.

Li Chengming was a little depressed, and when he was on the bench, he secretly looked at the things in the system mall, thinking that he should add a little defensive skill to himself, and always doing this is not the answer.

Of course, Lewis and Garrity will also be trained by the guards, but they will not be targeted so hard by their opponents. Li Chengming wonders if James gave the team a death order to make them break through themselves?

However, after Li Chengming left the field, the Cavaliers were much more relaxed on the defensive end, because the inside threat suddenly weakened. Can't stand James' breakthrough.

Even if Howard is replaced, the Cavaliers have also replaced Big Z and Gooden. If the two work together to limit Howard, he will feel very uncomfortable, and he cannot guarantee that he can pass the ball every time.

This time, the Magic's offense had a little problem. They were caught by the Cavaliers in less than 3 minutes and were only 4 points away. Van Gundy quickly called a timeout, and then looked back at Li Chengming on the bench. The next is also a little helpless.

The Cavaliers are not weak, or the Magic are not yet strong enough. One is that they have not yet completed the run-in. Lewis and Li Chengming have not yet fully integrated into the team. The other is that the defensive system built by Van Gundy has not yet taken shape.

On the offensive and defensive ends, sometimes there is a need for trade-offs, and this is where Van Gundy feels a headache.

In the end, he gritted his teeth and decided to put Li Chengming on the court, and then just like the previous Huaguo game, he put on the lineup of Nelson, Turkoglu, Li Chengming, Lewis and Howard. Fame and Lewis switched places.

In this way, on the offensive end, Li Chengming and Lewis can cross positions at any time, and Turkoglu naturally knows where to pass the ball on the court.

On the defensive end, on the one hand, it can avoid James' misplaced singles. At least Turkoglu is not at a disadvantage in size. After coming out, you can still keep up with the interference, at least you can limit your opponents to the mid-range area, allowing them to use scoring methods that they are not good at as much as possible.
