NBA restricted area bulldozer

Chapter 154

A few days passed in a flash.

This year's slam dunk contest has nothing to watch. There is no Air Jordan, no glider Drexler, and no Wilkins who is the essence of human movies. The championship was won by the rookie Hadro Miner of the Heat. As for the three-point contest, it was won by Mark Price of the Cavaliers.

And the next step is the main event, the All-Star Game.

……

The All-Star game has always been highly entertaining to attract fans, because the participants are all the most popular players in the league. These people gather together and compete on the same field, which is really rare for fans in the long regular season schedule. A sight to behold.

Although the previous All-Star games were all done with real knives and real guns, the official has considered the reasons for viewing, and the defensive intensity of the main games in recent years has not been strong. The game became a little more exciting, and it is very common for both sides to score more than 130 points. Even the All-Stars in 87 scored an astonishing 149:154.

However, it is relatively speaking that the defensive strength is not strong. It is impossible to have no defense at all. What about the brush.

……

Western starting lineup: David Robinson (Spurs), Charles Barkley (Suns), Clyde Drexler (Blazers), the rest is the Utah duo of Malone and Stockton , and the leading coach in the West is the Suns coach Paul Westphal.

As for the east...

Needless to say, the starting lineup is full of old acquaintances, and the substitute list...Li Shengli is most concerned about the center position, the gorilla Ewing from the New York Knicks, because the Eastern All-Star coach is the Knicks head coach Pat Riley.

"My playing time...not much!"

Finally, it's the All-Star game, but it's hard for Li Shengli to be happy, because after thinking about it, he knows... Riley will more or less take care of his player, the gorilla Ewing , and Ewing took a certain amount of playing time, which is equivalent to compressing his time.

……

The game is about to start, and players from the east and the west begin to appear one after another. As the players selected for the All-Star, each of them has a high enough popularity. It is these players who offer a visual feast for them.

"Li, sit on your bench and watch me play!"

"Go away, go away!"

"Hey, is this your attitude towards starting as a substitute? Just wait, maybe we can have a chance to join forces. Seriously, I am so looking forward to playing a game with you as a teammate."

O'Neill rubbed his hands, walked onto the field with his toes high and high, and Li Shengli was very angry on the bench. Speaking of it... since the NCAA, he has always been the absolute main starter, and now he is sitting on the bench It was the first time for him to watch other people play on the Internet.

On the bench, Li Shengli sat next to Ewing, and Ewing had a cold face, obviously he didn't want to talk to Li Shengli, including O'Neal who had already played.

In fact, I don’t blame him. Two rookies suddenly appeared, and they pressed him on the head of an NBA veteran during the All-Star voting session. Anyone would be angry, but Li Shengli didn’t care, after all, he was not popular. The dollar of love can make everyone like themselves.

……

The referee stood at the midfield line and signaled both sides to prepare for a jump ball.

O'Neal in the east and Robinson in the west, there is absolutely no suspense about the jump ball. Even if this is an All-Star game with mostly performances, then you can't let the backcourt players jump the ball for the sake of gimmicks.

O'Neal pouted his ass, and Robinson did the same. When the referee ran the ball, O'Neal took the lead and successfully pushed the ball to the back. The Eastern team took the lead in the first round.

After all, this game was an All-Star game, both sides were first-line players in the league, and there were still a bunch of people waiting to come off the bench, so the ten players on the field started with full power, which drew cheers from the audience.

Needless to say, Jordan, as the biggest player in the east, staged a flying battle with the glider Drexler in the west. One is a flying man and the other is a glider. Made a few difficult dunks.

As Jordan's gold medal partner, Pippen also performed eye-catchingly. He cooperated with O'Neal's inside line and repeatedly broke through the Western basket.

If Jordan, Pippen, and O'Neal are having fun together, then Thomas and Johnson are also actively looking for a sense of presence, but...they feel a hint of "maliciousness" from the Western team's Utah Shuangsha.

First of all, Stockton, defending Thomas is really playing in the playoffs. As a point guard textbook, his defense is also good. opponent.

The second is the confrontation between Johnson and Karl Malone. In this kind of game, it is not very authentic to use iron elbows, but Malone has reached the peak of his current position, not only because of elbows, he has repeatedly confronted Johnson head-on, even though Johnson is also He's a muscular guy, but compared to Ma Long, he's still a size smaller, and he's been rectified to be docile.

……

Uncomfortable!

Uncomfortable bad!

Thomas and Johnson were really uncomfortable. The other three had a good time, because the opponent's defense was all over, but the two of them encountered Utah's double evil, and they completely made the playoffs, and their stats were so bad.

until the end of the first quarter.

东西部比分打成了28:33，东部队落后了5分，而托马斯4分、3助攻，约翰逊4分、3篮板。

Johnson said nothing.

As a point guard, Thomas holds the ball. Even if he encounters Stockton's defense, he can quickly break through the basket and score more than 4 points, but... Malone doesn't want to let him go. If he breaks through Stockton, he will face Malone. And thinking about Ma Long's iron elbow, he also felt trembling.

But he didn't want to pass the ball to the other three, so he stared at Johnson to feed the ball, but the problem was still Malone... This big brother focused on Thomas and Johnson, which turned the East team upside down. Fortunately, Jordan and Pippen teamed up Needing the ball, coupled with O'Neal's rebounds, stabilized the score.

……

Section two.

The substitutions in the All-Star Game are not too particular. The biggest consideration is to take care of everyone's playing time, so... O'Neill and Thomas were replaced, and Ewing made a cheerful appearance. Three-point contest champion, Mark Price of the Cavaliers.

Because Thomas was fucked down, Stockton's defense against Mark Price immediately dropped, but Johnson hadn't fallen yet. Malone maintained his high-intensity suppression, and without Thomas' special care, Johnson really wanted to Crying, he became the number one soy sauce player on the Eastern team.

Except for Johnson, who was a bit miserable, the other players on both sides attacked each other crazily. They played all the dunks, windmills, tomahawks, and alley-oops. The scoring started the hurricane mode until the end of the halftime... The score of the two sides reached 70: 75, the West team still maintained a 5-point lead.

……

In the third quarter, Li Shengli finally ushered in his chance to play.

Because the game in the fourth quarter is relatively intense, the starting players will usually be present, so the third quarter will be handed over to the substitutes. , It is estimated that they want to give the time of the fourth quarter to Ewing.

At this time, Thomas and his Pistons teammate Dumars played in the third quarter of the East, plus Wilkins, and the remaining two were... Li Shengli and O'Neal.

Li Shengli and O'Neill join forces? !

Who knows what kind of arrangement this is, if both of them piled up to the basket, this... Western team can still get close to the basket? !However, the All-Star emphasis is on viewing, and they are basically one-on-one offense and defense, so there is no big problem.

……

"It's finally me!" Li Shengli couldn't wait.

"Oh, hell, I guessed it right, Li, we really teamed up!" O'Neill was also very excited, "Look... there is a teaming up between Olajuwon and Kemp in the west, who are you going to defend against? "

"You choose yourself, it's the same for anyone on my side!"

"Then I will guard against Olajuwon, you go to Kemp!"

Sean Kemp was the 89th pick in the 17 draft. Although the pick is not high, his athletic ability and physical talent are very strong.

It stands to reason... It is not a big problem to win the No. 89 pick with his ability. After all, the No. [-] pick in [-] was Pervis Ellison, the Bullet team that clamored to compete with Li Shengli in style and level. The center and parallel champions are on the list.

But Kemp comes from a slum. Although he has a strong talent, he is an extremely irritable and undisciplined player. Simply put, he is a person who is prone to trouble on the court and can't control himself off the court.The rookie season did not have a very impressive performance, but as time went by, last season also averaged 17.8 points + 10.7 rebounds per game, which is on the rise.

As for Hakeem Olajuwon, one of the top centers currently in the league.

Unlike the East, there is Admiral David Robinson in the West, so he has also been reduced to a substitute, but...even if it is a substitute, no one dares to underestimate such a top center. After all, the votes of the All-Stars cannot represent strength.

……

"Are you sure?" Li Shengli glanced at O'Neill with a smile, "Seriously, if you are embarrassed by Olajuwon, it will be ugly. Why don't you... let me deal with him?"

"Shit, do you think you can be better than me?! Anyway, defense is all about playing. I can't stop his attack, but he can't suppress me either." O'Neal expressed dissatisfaction.

"It's up to you, call me if you can't bear it anymore!"

"Get the hell out of here, let's talk about Kemp first! Did you see Thomas, you unlucky bastard, don't try to catch his pass, so for a while..." O'Neal whispered to Li Shengli with a grin, for fear of being caught hear.

"Fuck, brother, can this fucking work?"

"Why not? Look at my face and act!"
