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

Chapter 74
Of course, after the game, no matter whether it was Kobe's side or Li Chengming's side, the reporters asked them to evaluate their opponents.

Happy Beast didn't feel dissatisfied because he was robbed of the limelight after the game. On the contrary, he was very happy to see the little brother he knew performed well, and kept smiling at him from the side.

However, Li Chengming is actually not very impressed with Kobe in this game. The shooting is picturesque?This is something everyone knows, but they didn't have a direct match. If he was asked to comment on Odom, then he might have something to say.

In the end, I had no choice but to say some perfunctory polite words based on the principle of applauding if I don’t know how to say it.

He later found out that before the game, a reporter from Los Angeles asked Kobe how Li Chengming was. At that time, Kobe didn't know whether he didn't hear clearly or he didn't care because he was upset by the poor team situation at the start. He asked instead, "Who is Lee CM?" ".

When the reporter asked him this question after the game, Kobe just shrugged and said: "Although I want to say that we were destroyed by Dwight, and our inside line couldn't stop him at all, but Lee's performance-everyone You know a rookie who got 30+ at Staples, huh?"

These words praised Howard and Li Chengming at the same time, and quietly expressed their dissatisfaction with "Little Shark" Bynum.

Although Bynum's performance today is not bad, but he and Odom let Li Chengming, a first-year student, take whatever he wants, and Kobe, who is very competitive, will naturally not be satisfied.

He is also dissatisfied with the management. After all, he has always hoped to compete for the championship with himself as the core after O'Neal left, and then to justify his name. It is not only by relying on the big shark that Kobe can win the championship.

But with this lineup, even the Magic can't beat them, so why talk about a championship?
Perhaps this game can make the Lakers management learn from the pain and make up their minds to make a trade.

One Ariza is simply not enough, not to mention that Ariza did not get a chance to play in this game, obviously we need to observe again.

But that's not about the Magic, they're busy with their game schedule.

The last opponent of Wu Lianke is facing the Warriors back to back, and it is also the famous "Golden State Gang".

"Captain" Stephen Jackson, "Second Shooting Back in the West" (self-proclaimed) Monta Ellis, bearded Baron Davis, and Mark Barnes, although there is not a first-line star, but all of them None of them are easy to be with.

It was this lineup last year. Under the leadership of the "crazy experimenter" Nelson, they overthrew the Mavericks, the league's first and 4-win team in the regular season, with a big score of 2:67, and also nailed Nowitzki to the pillar of shame.

After being overturned by the Heat in the lead in the finals in 06, the German chariot has been questioned by the outside world. Last season, he made a comeback and led the Mavericks to the first record in the league, and won the MVP based on this. Thinking that another black eight miracle has been achieved instead?

So Nowitzki was ridiculed by the outside world twice this summer, and was dubbed a "soft guy". After being overturned in the finals, he fell in the last step anyway. Getting his pants ripped off in one round is unreasonable.

Black eight is an honor to the Warriors, even if they fall in the second round, no one will laugh at them, but it is naturally a shame to the Mavericks.

However, there are many reasons why the Warriors were able to overthrow the Mavericks. Their strength is actually the same. Even if it is a back-to-back away game, they have nothing to fight back against the Magic.

The Magic established a 10-point lead in the first three quarters, especially Li Chengming broke out again in the third quarter, scoring 8 points on 5 of 15 shots in a single quarter, continuing his good state and helping the team expand its advantage.

In the fourth quarter, the Magic did not give their opponents a chance and won the game steadily.

Li Chengming played 24 minutes and scored 22 points, 7 rebounds and 3 assists. Howard scored 13 points and 9 rebounds with 20 of 23 free throws. Nelson and Bogans both scored 22 points. Nelson also scored 11 assists, plus exactly 20 points Lewis, five players of the Magic team with 20+ points, overwhelmed the Golden State gang, which was all soldiers and scored in double figures with seven players, and continued its victory.

In the game, the most impressive thing was in the second quarter. Li Chengming had an alley-oop pass to Howard. Turkoglu passed it to Li Chengming after a pick-and-roll. Li Chengming no look pass directly seconds Passing to help Howard, this wonderful connection cooperated with the top five goals of the day.

This season's Magic team can be said to have both teamwork and individual outstanding performance, with many dunks and wonderful passes, so it has become a frequent visitor to the top five and top ten shots.

……

"Magic has five consecutive victories in the Western Conference and won five consecutive victories. Li Chengming performed well and scored another 20+!"

"The best rookie list, Li Chengming, is expected to rise to the first place. Recently, Li Chengming, who has won 20+ and 30+ consecutively, has become the biggest surprise of the Magic this season?"

"I thought it was just a rookie, but it turned out to be a thigh?"

"Can Li Chengming get the best of the week for the first time in his career?"

"Fat guy is awesome, I'm already tired of blowing."

"No matter what the final result is, the best rookie in my heart is Li Chengming, just like the best rookie in my heart was Dayao that year. Asking is my own."

"Even if you don't say that you are not your own person, it is obvious that Li Chengming performed better. Dayao and Stoudemire can still be said to be hard to distinguish. Durant has a little more basic data than Li Chengming, and other aspects are better. What is it compared to Li Chengming?"

"Household book? (smiling face)"

"Li Chengming has really lost weight. When you didn't see him lift his clothes in the last game, you almost had abs."

"Is there any picture?"

"Wait!"

"The picture is here [picture]"

"Pfft, what a big abdominal muscle!"

"..."

"The abs are a bit rounded, but there is one thing to say, the fat brother has indeed lost weight. Is it because the food of the American emperor is too bad?"

"What do you think, people earn money and can't eat whatever they want. It's obvious that professional players need to absorb nutrition, so they must not eat randomly."

"You're thinking too much. Professional players don't have so many taboos. They consume so much. It's not a big problem to eat hamburgers and Coke. Of course, there must be nutritious meals, but I think the NBA is too confrontational and consumes too much. .”

"Indeed, Fat Brother probably sweats like a big bucket after a game."

"Hahaha, I laughed. The fight with the sun was the most obvious. When Stoudemire wanted to grab his hand, he just slipped away and missed it."

"Don't be embarrassed, this is Fat Brother's sweaty tactic."

……

This wave of five-game winning streak in the West should have been a devil's schedule for the Magic, but in the end the Magic successfully avenged their most difficult opponent, the Suns, and won a wave of five consecutive victories. There was also a wave of seven consecutive victories ahead.

This also makes them look like a strong team from the outside world.

At present, 20 games and a quarter of the regular season have passed. The Magic have played a terrifying record of 17 wins and 3 losses, temporarily ranking second in the Eastern Conference, second only to the Celtics with 18 wins and 2 losses. Coincidentally, One of the games the Celtics lost was the Magic.

This can't help but make the outside world start to exclaim, the Magic seems to have finally "rebuilt successfully"?

In 04, the Magic won the No. [-] pick. After selecting Dwight Howard, the outside world has no doubts about their choice, and they also look forward to the Magic's glory when O'Neal was there.

When O'Neal led the team to the finals, although they were swept away, it was their best performance in so many years.

After several years of sinking, they won the No. [-] pick again, and selected another No. [-] pick. Howard's growth also seems to prove that their choice was correct. Last season, they finally reached the playoffs, and this season they have strong support Joining, in fact, their progress this season is predictable.

It's just that everyone still didn't expect such great progress, and there was even a faint voice that they might compete for the championship.

In this regard, ESPN commentator A. Smith commented: "It's too early to talk about this. The regular season is only a quarter past. The team that just starts to show up every year may not be able to have the last laugh. Opportunity. In other words, they now belong to one of the championship groups."

With Howard and Lewis on the inside, Turkoglu in the organization, the backcourt is relatively stable, and the overall defense is also online. It is indeed beginning to take shape as a championship team.

Of course, Li Chengming has been mentioned quite a few times, especially in his first year as a rookie. Although he has played as a substitute in the current 19 games, and he was still a marginal role in the team at the beginning, except for the Knicks Absent from World War I, he played 16.9 games and averaged [-] minutes per game. He has already gained a firm foothold in the rotation.

The shooting percentage is 64.5%. This is not obtained by eating cakes and using easy balls like those blue-collars. No matter how high the shooting percentage is, that kind of scoring is not a big threat to the opponent. It is an acceptable and acceptable score.

Even Howard has a lot of simple shots to eat cakes and directly catch passes and dunks, but even in this way, his shooting percentage this season is only [-]%.

And the 87.4% free throw percentage also saves him from being caught in the dilemma of being afraid of being fouled by the opponent at the critical moment against the Suns like Howard, and even needs to let him go off the court to rest first.

Averaged 15.1 points, 4.7 rebounds and 2 assists per game, hit 1.2 three-pointers, and 2.2 free throws. Among all the rookies this year, the data performance was only slightly lost to Durant.

Although it is difficult to directly judge his strength because of the small number of shots overall, after all, it is well known that digesting shot rights is also an ability, but Li Chengming's efficiency is still quite eye-catching.

Especially as one of the two hottest rookies at present, compared with Durant, Li Chengming not only has a better team record, but also his personal victory contribution is not bad, and his offensive and defensive efficiency is also higher. More than Durant.

In addition to being able to form an advantage over Li Chengming in terms of basic statistics, Durant has been compared to Li Chengming in many advanced and advanced statistics.

Even the domestic media no longer compare Kong Tianyi with him at this time.

The gap between the two has now widened. Although Ah Lian continues to serve as the starter and can play more than 20 minutes per game, it is still a bit worse than Li Chengming.

Domestic fans can say that the Bucks' guards don't pass the ball, or that the coaching staff doesn't know how to train them, but in fact, after watching the game, they should know that after more than a month of more than a dozen games, Space Yi still seems a bit out of tune in terms of rhythm.

If it's because of his personal habits, it's not a good thing for him.

In fact, in this case, the Bucks still did not give up on him, which can be said to be benevolent.
