It just so happens that today is a suitable opportunity for Li Chengming to play more. Although Garnett and Posey move very fast, and Rondo and Tony Allen can also rotate in time, there is a good thing today.

, that is, the players on the Magic team are in great enough shape at the beginning, and even the role players can shoot.

Very good at shooting!

Especially his touch from outside the three-point line directly stretched the Green Army's defense.

So after Li Chengming caught the ball in the low post this time, Garnett and Posey watched helplessly for a while but did not dare to really come forward and could only pretend to interfere.

Scalabrine, on the other hand, pressed down his center of gravity to bear Li Chengming's impact, but was still pushed back.

The outside world has always thought that after Li Chengming lost weight, the weight of his body would be reduced, and his low-level strength would be weakened. However, they did not expect that he lost weight without losing strength. Even because his muscles became more solid, his explosive power at this moment still appeared.

Stronger.

And after losing the meat, Li Chengming now bumps into hard bones, which is even more difficult to bear.

Scalabrine wanted to say "I can handle it," but the fact was that he couldn't handle it. In the end, he was pushed to the basket and tried to hold it up to give Garnett and the others time to come over and attack him, but he didn't expect to be beaten by Li Chengming.

He hit the layup directly.

Not only was he unable to guard him, but he also committed a foul and was subject to an additional penalty.

Suqun smiled and said: "Today Li Chengming scored a 2+1 as soon as he started, and he is in good condition. Things are going smoothly for the Magic now!"

Yang Jian also said: "If this continues, the Magic will probably play the most exciting game of the season today."

When the offensive end plays well, everyone is more daring to make moves and shoot, and confidence is often a necessary condition for shooting.

Professional players who can come to the NBA stage are already leaders in this field, but some people are not able to display their abilities. Sometimes it is due to shortcomings on the psychological level.

Especially for role players, when the game is going well, their handwriting will often be smoother because they are not under too much pressure and are not afraid of taking the blame.

Rivers originally changed to such a lineup after the timeout to strengthen defense. Today's Magic team's tactics are also very targeted. Van Gundy made it clear before the game that they will make a fuss about the "old arms and legs" of the Green Army.

, so we should pay attention to moving the ball more and mobilize the opponent's defense to make them exhausted.

In this way, even if they fall behind in the early stage, it won't matter. After all, the game lasts for 48 minutes.

He didn't expect that he would take such a big lead before the first quarter of this game was over, which surprised him.

In response to this, Rivers came up with a defensive lineup that rotates faster and is more targeted. With Rondo's scheduling and organization, Garnett can provide support when receiving the ball or choose to attack on his own, so the offense can be carried out.

It's not bad, at least it's comparable.

But I didn't expect that after Li Chengming of the Magic team came up, he directly switched to positional warfare and single-point blasting. Once their flanking attack failed to work, this lineup's positional warfare also lacked stable scoring points when Garnett was not easy to take shots.

Yes, you can't always expect role players to step up.

Li Chengming once again directly defended Garnett. Garnett wanted to repeat his same trick, but this time Howard outflanked him in time. Garnett was able to see through Garnett's transfer of the ball and destroyed the ball out of bounds.

In the end, the ball was guarded for 24 seconds. When the ball was forced to be transferred to Tony Allen, it was already doomed when he was still on the outside. Of course, his shot also missed. Scalabrine grabbed it.

By the time we reached the rebound, time had expired, so we had no choice but to hand the ball back to the Magic.

Then Li Chengming received the ball again in the low post. Garnett saw the right opportunity and lifted up, blocking Howard behind him, making Li Chengming afraid to pass the ball rashly.

But this time the Magic also took precautions. Under Howard's reminder, Dulin came up in time to receive Li Chengming's pass and then passed it to Howard on the other side. Howard directly faced Konglan and dunked hard with both hands and added 2

point.

Garnett returned to defense and was unable to stop him. He didn't want to be dunked, so he took two steps back.

Then he heard Li Chengming's laughter. Although he didn't know what it meant, he thought it was ridicule.

Obviously, it is indeed a mockery.

Although Li Chengming himself has done this, after all, being dunked is a background that will be taken out and beaten repeatedly, so why O'Neal would rather push people and fight than get dunked, but this is

It doesn't stop him from making fun of Da Hei Wa.

The Green Army must score in this round, because the point difference has reached double digits. If the point difference continues to be widened and a big hole is dug in the first quarter, it will obviously not be good for them.

In particular, the Magic team is in full swing. If this continues, it is not impossible for them to pull the point difference to 20 points. After all, there are still several minutes left in the first quarter.

As one goes and the other goes, the Green Army's momentum will also fall to the bottom, and they will have to play under pressure all the time. This will disrupt the team's normal rotation, because if they want to chase points, they will probably need to use more main players, but the main players are older than Long.

There are many and they are all relatively big.

Just as Van Gundy expected, the Green Army has a group of old arms and legs, and the physical distribution is not good enough that they will be unable to keep up with them later. Therefore, they must bite the score at this time, and can use their experience to stabilize the situation later and slowly catch up.

It's a pity that Rondo couldn't find a chance to pass the ball to Garnett. He and Howard were competing for position and Rondo chose not to take the shot.

This season, Rondo averaged over 10 points per game and took less than 10 shots. In the first two games, it was obvious that the Big Three attracted defense and gave him the opportunity to steal chickens. Coupled with fast breaks, he was very efficient.

But today the Magic played well offensively and did not give many fast break opportunities. Moreover, Ray Allen's three-pointer was not accurate, and the team's space could not be stretched. Garnett was injured and took fewer shots.

Unable to digest so many moves, his true colors began to show.

As a point guard with average shooting, Rondo relies on sharp breakthroughs and passes to create threats on the offensive end. If he is allowed to shoot from the outside, it is not an exaggeration for him to make 17 of 47 shots, and he may not even be able to do it.

As a result, Garnett was a little anxious and fouled Howard while rushing for rebounds. He accumulated exactly two fouls in the first quarter and had to rest.

Li Chengming immediately laughed and said: "Someone can't beat him and takes the initiative to apply for a foul and leave the field?"

Garnett turned back and glared at him. Next to him, Rondo saw that the situation was not good and quickly stopped the big brother who was on the verge of an explosion. At the same time, he also glared at Li Chengming, thinking that this rookie was really annoying.

However, Li Chengming felt that the more his opponents hated him, the better. This was a competition, and both sides were competitors. What should they like to do?

After Garnett came off the court, the Celtics' defense became weaker. One obvious point is that Evans and Dulin were able to frequently cross from both sides at 45 degrees and use Li Chengming's cover to cut inside to the basket.

Down, neither Perkins nor Scalabrine had time to react.

Or he reacted, but after attracting the defense, the ball was passed back to Li Chengming behind him. Even if there was a defender in front of Li Chengming, he was only a defender, so it would be a good opportunity to shoot directly.

After three or four consecutive games like this, the Green Army's offensive efficiency still couldn't pick up, and the point difference was really heading towards 20 points.

Yang Jiandu was a little surprised and said: "Before the game, everyone thought that this game would be like sparks hitting the earth. I didn't expect it to be so unexpected after the game started. It didn't look like a battle for the top spot, but like a strong team fighting against each other."

Of course, even if a strong team is playing against one another, the gap will usually not be so wide in the first quarter.

In the last half minute, it was another offensive round for the Magic, and they were trying to squeeze the time to 24 seconds.

At this time, Howard also came off the court to rest. On the court was Li Chengming with four shooting spots, Arroyo, Bogans, Cook and Lewis.

The score is 17:35. If there are 2 more points, the score difference will be 20 points.
