At the end of the game, the Magic defeated the Knicks by 31 points 120:89, and finally won the winning streak again.

Li Chengming only played 16 minutes in the first half and didn't take many shots because his teammates were all in good shape, especially Lewis who seemed to have regained his offensive sense amid the Knicks' poor defense, shooting 10 of 16 and 5 three-pointers.

Scored 28 points and 5 rebounds on 5 field goals.

Turkoglu was also very efficient, scoring 22 points, 4 rebounds and 10 assists on 9-of-12 free throws. Howard scored 16 points and 12 rebounds on 10-of-13 free throws. Dulin also scored 14 points on 4-of-7 free throws.

Li Chengming made 5 of 7 shots and only scored 12 points, but he got 10 rebounds and 8 assists. Especially on the offensive end, he frequently attracted double teams and scored from the outside.

Today, the Magic shot 46% from beyond the three-point line. This was despite Bogans wasting a lot of opportunities with 2 of 8. Otherwise, Li Chengming might be able to produce another economical and practical triple-double.

Come.

After two consecutive victories, they will go to the road again to challenge last season's championship, the Miami Heat.

Miami is a well-known tourist city, and of course it is most famous for its passionate beaches and nightclubs.

The Magic still won easily in this game. After O'Neal and others left one after another, the former defending champion has almost become a weak team. Wade, the first championship and FMVP of the 03 generation, performed well in this game.

, scored 43 points, but couldn't stop the Magic from putting out the fire.

The two teams were evenly matched in the first half, but Wade, who had 20+ points in the half, took the most credit.

He can combine sudden shots and sudden points, not only scoring for himself, but also creating opportunities for his teammates. Under his leadership, Ricky Davis, Haslem, Dorell White and others performed very well.

The team held on tightly to the score and entered the intermission with only a 3-point deficit at halftime.

While the outside world was still discussing whether Wade's state today and his anxious game could allow him to score 50+ points, the situation suddenly changed in the third quarter. The Magic used a second and third zone defense and frequently double-teamed Wade to force him to play the ball.

The strong rotation of Evans and Bogans on the wings and the sweeping defense of Howard seriously hindered the Heat's offense.

On the offensive end, Howard and Li Chengming dealt a devastating blow to the Heat's bombardment of the penalty area. The two scored 20 points together in the third quarter, helping the team open the score to double digits.

After that, the situation of the game could no longer be reversed. Wade, who had suffered a severe loss of physical strength in the fourth quarter due to excessive consumption, could no longer maintain his efficiency. When his lethality dropped sharply, the Heat

There is no chance for a comeback.

In the final 107:95, although the Magic only won by 12 points, they completely suppressed their opponents on both offense and defense in the second half. If not for his teammates in the first half who allowed Wade to regain some form and score some magic goals, the game would have collapsed long ago.

.

Li Chengming only played 21 minutes in this game and did not take much action except in the third quarter. He made 5 of 9 shots and 4 of 4 free throws, scoring 15 points, 7 rebounds and 8 assists.

Howard scored 29 points and 21 rebounds, missing only two free throws. Turkoglu scored 16 points, 5 points, and 5 points. Lewis scored 15 points on 3 of 8 three-pointers. Seven players on the team scored in double figures.

Anyway, Li Chengming has now discovered that his teammates are really stable when they get better.

Or is it just because of the abuse of food that you are out of shape?

In this situation, it is not appropriate to take more shots on your own, especially since you don’t know whether the two opponents before and after are crazy enough to take care of you. Li Chengming can’t fight back when faced with double-teams. I don’t know whether this can be done.

Not in line with his playing philosophy.

He always pursues reasonableness and teamwork when playing. If his teammates have better opportunities, he is willing to go out, so it is impossible to score high points.

However, these two games also gave Li Chengming a different kind of fun to collect statistics. His rebounds and assists were rising sharply, precisely because his opponents gave him too much defensive care, sometimes even excessively.

In assisting defense, Li Chengming is good at distributing the ball. This pass will be an open opportunity, and most of his teammates will also shoot.

Even if the shot fails, Li Chengming can get an offensive rebound with his body.

Although he may not always be able to get it in his hands, due to his height and jumping power, he relies more on his judgment of the landing point to point the ball out to his teammates first. If he can get it, he will

You can directly attack twice and score.

And because of the ups and downs in scoring, Li Chengming's fans began to worry more about the selection of the best rookie than him.

Especially domestic fans, the Arab League has given up hope. The gap between him and Li Chengming and Durant is widening, and even other rookies are gradually catching up.

The previous regret that Dayao lost to Stoudemire made them a little bit bitter after all, and they hoped that Li Chengming could win this award to make up for the original regret, although there seemed to be no inevitable connection between the two things.

But Li Chengming's team is in good shape now, and his personal performance cannot be said to be bad. Just because his teammates perform well, he gives up the stage to his teammates and is willing to be a green leaf.

Moreover, some time ago, Li Chengming took more shots and scored more, which also squeezed some of the team's big players' ball rights and shot rights. As a rookie, this is his normal position now.

Of course there is nothing wrong with thinking rationally, not to mention that the Magic are the seed to compete for the championship this season. If they can really reach the finals as the main force or even win the championship, wouldn't it be better than a "small award" such as Best Rookie?

But emotionally, everyone still wants to see Li Chengming win this small award first.

After all, you can still win the championship in the future, but the Rookie of the Year award is only for this time. Just like a certain little king, if you miss the Rookie of the Year award, you will never get it again in this life, even if he wins more hits in the future.

Award, that would be an eternal regret.

"It would be great if Li Chengming was in the Bucks..." So someone repeated the old tune again. This was actually raised by the UAE fans before.

They began to think that Li became famous because he was able to adapt so quickly and perform so well in the Magic. It would definitely be different if the Arab League were transferred to a strong team like the Magic.

Of course, Li Chengming's subsequent performance made it difficult for them to be tough.

But now Li Chengming's fans are beginning to hope that Li Chengming and the Arab League will be swapped, because in a team like the Bucks that focuses on training, Li Chengming will definitely be able to get more shots, and maybe he will surpass him early on.

Durant's scoring average.

Even with the addition of Li Chengming, the Bucks may be able to win a few more games.

And Arab League can also get experience in the Magic Team and grow up as quickly as possible. Even if he does not grow up as fast as Li Chengming, he will still have the opportunity to show off his skills in next year's Olympics.

In fact, what makes them most dissatisfied is that compared to Li Chengming, Durant's efficiency is too low.

They used to be black volutes, but the Seattle Steelers are no worse than Los Angeles this season. Durant has played good games, but his current scoring is really based on his right to take shots.

As a forward who mainly focuses on shooting, his average shooting percentage per game is only hovering around 40%. This is in line with the back line, and even the defenders are more accurate than him.

Li Chengming's shooting percentage has dropped a bit now, but it is still above 55%. This is because he sometimes tries some three-point shots. His three-point shooting percentage is also 36.7%, which is not bad.

In the past 28 games of the Magic, Li Chengming has played in 26 of them, averaging exactly 17 points per game, firmly occupying the second place in the rookie scoring list, but still has 2 points with Durant, who has fallen back recently.

difference.

Although he now surpasses Durant in basic statistics such as rebounds, assists, blocks, as well as various advanced statistics and efficiency, scoring is undoubtedly an important indicator.

Well, actually it just depends on which one the official recognizes more.

Just like the current best rookie list, Li Chengming slipped to second place in the latest issue because his recent data has been too unstable.

But even so, even if this month is not over yet, Li Chengming has already booked the Eastern Conference Rookie of the Month for this month, and Durant can also win it.

There is a big gap between them and the one behind them. For example, here in the East, whether it is Horford, the Arab League, or Noah and others, that is, Horford is slightly competitive with multiple double-doubles, but his performance is relatively

Li Chengming's highlights are still not eye-catching enough.

Of course, due to the decline in the Magic's record this month, Howard should not be able to win the Best of the Month award again.
