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

Chapter 88 Halftime Offense and Defense (22)

In the second quarter, Horford didn't play at all-although he was generally not in the right position. After Li Chengming played, he faced two Williams, Marvin Williams and Sheldon Williams.

Of course it's just the same last name, it doesn't really matter.

It's just that according to the general rules of the NBA, except for a very small number like Kobe, most of them are represented by their surnames directly. Only those with the same surname in this specific situation will be called by their first names.

Otherwise, during the game commentary, there may be words like "Williams passed to Williams, Williams missed, Williams grabbed a rebound and scored".

Marvin Williams, who is only 2 meters tall, has a terrifying wingspan of 06cm. He was the No. 222 pick in 05. He has a strange static talent, but this season has not improved significantly. As an insider, his scoring efficiency is not high. The team doesn't expect him to score.

However, on the defensive end, after two seasons of growth, Marvin has fulfilled his part of his physical talent. In addition to his relatively slow movement speed limited by his size, he has excellent performance in post-up defense and switch defense.

If his 3-point shooting improves, he'll be a decent 3-and-D.

The 108kg Ma Wen also looked thin in front of Li Chengming, and his lower limbs were not stable enough, but his super long wingspan gave him a great help on the defensive end.

Li Chengming was taken aback when he leaned against the opponent for a moment and realized that his hand was passing through his armpit and was about to touch the ball in his hand.

In fact, his wingspan is not bad, and his body is thick enough, it is really not common to be able to take the ball from behind like this.

Feeling that his back was a bit difficult to hit, Li Chengming simply turned to face the frame. The opponent's one hand covering his face and the other hand feinting to interfere also brought a lot of pressure to Li Chengming.

Li Chengming chose to take a step to the side, and Ma Wen hurriedly followed, but Li Chengming took another step back and then quickly combined the ball before he could catch up.

As the shooting speed became faster and faster, Li Chengming felt that his shooting method seemed to have changed unconsciously.

However, Li Chengming's first shot was just to check his condition, and he played more relaxedly. He hit the frame directly, and Smith turned around to protect the rebound.

Smith's personal offensive ability is relatively limited. After three seasons, he has not been able to reach an average of 20+ per game. The first scorer of the Eagles is Joe Johnson.

However, Smith can give the team a lot of help in terms of defense, including assist defense, complementary defense and rebound protection.

In fact, Smith's positioning in the Hawks is a bit similar to Howard, but he is a striker after all, and his influence on the defensive end is not as great as Howard, a center.

The Eagles attack, and Smith holds the ball to advance. In the starting lineup, Smith's offensive task is mainly to play one-on-one singles on the weak side, which is somewhat similar to Li Chengming's positioning.

In the substitute stage, he can also organize offense with the ball.

Although limited by his shooting ability and his personal scoring ability is not strong, Smith is an all-rounder and has his own way to lead the team. To put it bluntly, it is a bit like James' style.

This time, Smith made a strong kill on the inside after covering the screen and caused a foul by Li Chengming. He made two free throws and made one, 30:21.

Looking back at the Magic's offensive round, Li Chengming pulled out a pick-and-roll with Arroyo and received a pass from Arroyo. Marvin immediately stepped forward to block Li Chengming's route.

Li Chengming glanced out of the corner of his eye, and hit the ground to Du Lin who cut inside. As a result, Du Lin was also blocked by Lorenzen White under the basket, and then distributed the ball to Foyer, who made a mid-range shot.

For the Hawks, Smith played singles on the weak side again. Bogans couldn’t hold him back. Dooling stepped forward to double-team him and immediately split the ball. Axi Law missed this time, but Smith hit the offensive rebound and got stronger and didn’t hit. Going in caused Foyer's foul and went to the free throw line again.

With two free throws this time, the Eagles still lead by 9 points.

Next, Li Chengming received a pass in the low post, faced Marvin again, and chose to go straight with his back.

Li Chengming turned over and shot a jumper. As a result, a big man came out of the diagonal stab and blocked the ball that Li Chengming had just shot.

Smith has explosive physical fitness, and his bounce exceeds one meter, which makes his assist defense block data explode. In the past two seasons, he has averaged nearly 3 times per game, and he can be called the block leader on the front line.

Li Chengming was a little depressed, but it was not a big problem. After all, he often walked by the river, so how could he not get his shoes wet.

To be honest, the floor-flow style of play is very useful to ensure the safety of the body, and it is relatively stable, but there is a disadvantage that these quality men are easy to jump up and block shots, especially after the shot, because the arc is generally not high and they are easy to reach So, you can hide from the opposing defender, but you can't hide from the assisting defender.

Of course, there is another advantage of the free hand on the floor. After being capped, there is a high probability that it will fall back into his own hand, but this time the tragedy is that Li Chengming didn't react and didn't catch it, and the ball went out of bounds when his hand touched it.

This is not only covered once, but also one more wrong statistics, the pain in my heart can be imagined.

However, after two pick-and-rolls and defenses in the next attack, Li Chengming had the opportunity to face Smith directly. He tried it and felt that the opponent's strength seemed to be stronger than Marvin.

But this is not a big problem. After all, the size gap between the two is even bigger, and Smith can't stand it if Li Chengming exerts his strength.

Li Chengming took advantage of the moment when he was pinned down by him and turned around, but Smith's reaction was also very fast, and he was able to keep up. Li Chengming noticed that he was chasing him and made a fake move, and then half turned around and shot again. Who would have thought of Smith Can still catch up unexpectedly.

Although he didn't touch the ball, it really startled Li Chengming and made him lose most of his strength in an instant. The ball hit the front frame and popped out. Smith turned around and took the rebound.

Smith is not only able to jump and has strong instant explosive power, but also his bullet speed is terrifying, which makes him able to take off quickly for the second time even if he is shaken away.

However, Li Chengming, who has suffered under Smith twice in a row, and who has been enjoying a lot of glory recently, can imagine the depression in his heart.

Since participating in the regular season, Li Chengming's performance has been relatively stable. Even when he encounters strong defensive players like Garnett and Duncan, he has not suffered much. He can also play against the big sharks who are not at the top or the small sharks of the Lakers. Some tricks on footsteps, but I didn't expect to feel uncomfortable in front of unknown players of this unknown team.

Well, at least in the eyes of him who never pays attention to the Eagles, he is indeed not well-known.

Of course, Howard didn't feel much better than him after playing, but the way of depression was different.

Even ESPN's commentary is joking: "Today seems to be the day of death for Dwight Howard and Lee. Although the strength of the Eagles is not as good as that of the Magic, their forward defensive ability is very strong, especially the assist defense and cover defense are very fast. , Li's rhythm could not be reflected, but he was caught because of his weakness in speed.

"As for Dwight, his performance at the free throw line was terrible today, and he's a credit for the Magic falling behind!"

In fact, Lewis didn't feel good today. As Mr. Yiyuan, Li Chengming's performance has been getting better and better recently. In fact, in contrast to another situation, Lewis' contract seems a bit unworthy.

Although he does fit Howard very well and plays a tactical role, but as a slender fourth in space, he needs Howard to wipe his ass on the defensive end, but his offensive performance is still very unstable.

Although Li Chengming and Howard are troubled and restricted, they can still play a role today, but when Lewis can’t make a goal, he may even be a side effect on the court, because it will make the opponent more Unscrupulously double-teaming the two insiders.

Fortunately, Turkoglu stood up at this time, and Howard also frequently grabbed offensive rebounds at the end of the second quarter. At the end of the half, the Magic were still 45 points behind 50:5.
