Chapter 178 High Difficulty Mission

Admiral, David Robinson?

The No. 87 pick in the draft in 89, he served in the Navy for two years. It was only in the 90-24.3 season that he officially set sail and joined the Spurs. In his rookie season, he scored 12 points, 3.9 rebounds, and [-] blocks. He is definitely the first-line center among active centers. top notch.

And last season... the average rebounds and blocks per game have increased, especially the blocks, averaging 4.5 per game.

If you want to beat such an opponent, you can't just talk about it, and how can it be considered a blow?

More offensive or defensive?

Looking at the data or looking at something else?

It can be said that even a few big centers at the same level would not dare to beat Robinson, right?It's okay to explode each other, but if you want to explode unilaterally, unless Robinson... has a bad stomach and diarrhea.

……

In the room, the two looked at each other, Li Shengli scratched his head, and Crotty had a bad face.

"Don't worry!" Seeing the disappointment on Crotty's face, Li Shengli explained, "My mission is in the first half. If everything goes well, your playing time will be 10 minutes in the second half, regardless of the situation. .”

"I want to know what tasks the coach has assigned to you."

"The task is very simple, lock Robinson."

Lock up Robinson?

What kind of lock?

Crotty asked urgently: "What's the specifics?"

"In the first half, he had to score within 10 points, and I had to overwhelm him with rebounds and blocks!" Li Shengli waved his hand.

"This... Then what if Robinson takes a rotation in the first half?" Crotty grasped the point. If Robinson really took a rest in the first half, then this task would be too funny and too easy. After all, everyone Not playing.

"No, what I may have expressed was not very clear. It was not the first half, but the 24 minutes of my confrontation with him during the two quarters." Li Shengli explained: "In these 24 minutes, if I can do it, the rest It's up to you as much as you want, but it's not more than 10 minutes. Of course, if I can't do it, your chance...is gone too."

……

Damn, that's a good idea.

Crotty lamented Jerry Sloan's 'cunning'.

You know, Robinson is the core of the Spurs. Li Shengli can suppress his scoring, and he can also suppress his rebounds and blocks. If nothing else...the Jazz at that time could already determine the lead, and the 10 minutes of performance time given to him, It's really not a big problem.

However, it is still too difficult to compress Robinson's scoring to less than 24 points in 10 minutes.

What if Malone and Li Shengli double-team and a foul occurs in the middle?

If one is not done well, it will be 2+1, and one-third of the task limit will be gone.

But relying on Li Shengli's single defense, you have to be careful of being fouled by Robinson, and you have to limit Robinson's scoring, and you also have to suppress rebounds and blocks. do it.

You know, Robinson's current average playing time is about 40 minutes per game.

The first 24 minutes of playing are the peak of his physical fitness. If the score is within 10, and he continues to maintain a high-pressure defense in the following time, he can score 15 points in the game.

Although 15 points does not seem like a lot, for Robinson, the core of a team and a super giant center... this is definitely a rare low point in his state, and even if he gets into this low point, this is only one of the tasks , followed by the suppression of rebounds and blocks.

One by one.

It is very difficult for Li Shengli to do it.

"What about the score? How about your score?" Crotty suddenly thought, if Jerry Sloan asks for Li Shengli's score, then the difficulty will be escalated again, which also proves that Jerry Sloan doesn't want to give him Chance.

"Of course the scoring must be suppressed, but... because of the task of limiting Robinson's scoring, this is the easiest point compared to rebounding and blocking shots."

……

Within 24 minutes, scoring, rebounding, and blocks were all suppressed, and Robinson's scoring was also limited to less than 10.

This is definitely hell-level difficulty!

If Jerry Sloan rejected Li Shengli's request in a disguised form, then he didn't have to go around so many detours. As the head coach, he just refused and it was over. No one can say anything if Crotty is not allowed to play. .

But to say that Jerry Sloan didn't refuse... Then why does this hell-level difficulty task exist?

You know, Li Shengli and Olajuwon have fought against each other.

Although Olajuwon's state was dissatisfied in that game, Li Shengli still couldn't suppress his scoring well, and Robinson and Olajuwon are both top centers, how could it be possible that they didn't have many brushes on offense?

Arguably, the mission's only silver lining is the time limit of 24 minutes, not all of Robinson's playing time.

……

The next night.

Utah Jazz vs. San Antonio Spurs at the Alamo Dome.

In this game, both teams are locked in the playoffs. It is hard to say whether they will win or lose. Even if this is the home of the Spurs... Spurs fans dare not say that they can win this updated version 2.0 of the Jazz, because the Jazz center The position was replaced by Li Shengli, who was in the limelight.

However, almost no one would compare Li Shengli and Robinson together. After all, one is a rookie center leading the new generation, and the other is a top center in the current league.

……

The Jazz lineup needless to say.

The only thing to say is that at the shooting guard position, Jane Fuhenlis continued to play his starting lineup, while Crotty was still the drinking fountain on the sidelines, eagerly watching Li Shengli's debut.

The Spurs' starting lineup for this game.

Center David Robinson, power forward Antawn Carr, small forward Sean Elliott, point guard Vinnie DeNagro, shooting guard Dale Ellis.

Needless to say, Admiral David Robinson is the absolute core player of the Spurs. When he first joined the Spurs, his nickname was 'Lieutenant of the Navy', but as his status and role in the team improved, fans gave him the nickname He rose to the rank of general.

Power forward Antoine Carr, the poor version of Barkley, the peak season data is 20.1 + 5.5 rebounds played in the king, the offensive ability is greater than the defensive ability, is Robinson's inside assistant, and the performance is competent.

Small forward Sean Elliott, this year's All-Star player, is naturally good, and the Spurs' No. [-] scorer.

And there's Dale Ellis, Mr. 50.

The career-high 53 points in a single game was scored when he played for the Sonics in the 89-90 season. 5 minutes.

……

The referee signaled both sides to enter the field.

With Crotty's ardent expectations, Li Shengli walked to the halfway line and prepared to jump the ball, while David Robinson stood opposite him.

As a top star, Robinson can't see arrogance, all he can see is his muscular body.But because... Li Shengli's task for today has been set, and all the opportunities Crotty longs for are on him, so he must do his best, and looking at Robinson in front of him, his heart is full of fighting spirit.

Robinson naturally also took a look at Li Shengli in front of him. When he saw Li Shengli's weird eyes, he murmured in his heart, because Li Shengli looked... very hungry? !

This feeling is hard to describe, but Robinson probably understands that the kid in front of him is trying to grab data from him, because he has seen too many rookies like this, and without exception, no one can succeed.

The only ones who can compete with him are the few top centers today.

This Li Shengli in front of him?

Robinson felt that he...wasn't qualified yet.
