NBA restricted area bulldozer

Chapter 214 Phoenix Trident

5 month 20 number.

In this season's playoffs, the teams in the East and West finals are finally settled.

East, New York Knicks VS Chicago Bulls.

West, Phoenix Suns VS Utah Jazz.

……

The Eastern Conference was the first to start. On the 23rd, the Eastern Conference G1 game, the Bulls maintained a two-round sweep, winning 7 consecutive games, and was finally terminated by the Knicks.

On the 24th, the Western Conference Finals G1 game, Suns VS Jazz.

The Suns are No. 2 in the regular season in the Western Conference this season, so the first two home games are in the Sun’s American West Arena, an old-fashioned home stadium that can accommodate nearly [-] people, and they have all reached the Western Conference Finals. Naturally, there is no need to worry about home tickets* The ** game has not yet started, and the arena is already full.

……

"Phew...the Western Conference Finals!" After the warm-up ceremony, Malone took a deep breath, and Stockton on the side also took a deep breath to calm down.

"Yeah, it's the Western Conference Finals again."

Stockton entered the league a season earlier than Malone. This is the eighth year that the two have teamed up. Before they led the team, the best result was reaching the Western Conference Finals, which is last season.

Time flies and history repeats itself.

The Jazz appeared in the Western Conference Finals again, and it was difficult for Malone and Stockton to calm down in a short time, which was different from being beaten 4:2 by the Blazers last season.

This season's opponents have changed, and so has the Jazz. What remains the same...their desire for a championship.

"Are you nervous? Take it easy, we can win!" Li Shengli joked.

"Damn, who's nervous, I'm just excited." Malone cursed, not wanting to admit that he was a little nervous.

"Is that so?" Stockton gave Malone a disgusted look, "Whether you're nervous or excited, think about this first, how to deal with Barkley!"

"Shit, Barkley's big ass, don't even think about having it easy in my hands today."

"I hope so!"

"No, you should have said... definitely!"

……

The warm-up period is not long. After the two sides are in position, the game will start immediately.

Of course, the starting five of the Jazz Legion are still the same old style, and as long as Li Mars is on the court, the so-called starters basically don’t need to think too much. Crotty and Tyrone, who made their respective big shows in the first two games, naturally also stood at the positions of shooting guard and small forward. .

As for the Suns starting lineup.

Center Mark West, power forward Charles Barkley, small forward Dan Marley, point guard Kevin Johnson, and shooting guard Danny Ainge.

Needless to say, Barkley has rubbed his ass all over the league.

At the beginning of the season, he switched from the 76ers to the Suns. Although he is less than two meters tall, he is powerful. He averaged 25.6 points and 12.2 rebounds per game in the regular season. % of the hit, can suddenly cast.

As for Kevin Johnson and Dan Marley.

The two have grown into one of the most lethal perimeter combinations in the league. Together with Barkley, they are called the Phoenix Trident. They can charge forward and shoot from the outside.

But to be honest, compared to Li Masi in Salt Lake City, the Phoenix Trident is still a bit inferior in terms of lineup luxury, but it is really not comparable. After all, the center of gravity of the Trident is still on the periphery, and Li Masi's Center of gravity inside.

It is worth mentioning that……

If the Rockets are to be played in the second round, it will be a contest between Li Shengli and Olajuwon, then the Western Conference Finals against the Suns will be a contest between Malone and Barkley.

……

The whistle blew the ball.

The Suns starting center Mark West was only 2 meters tall. After a symbolic jump, he went to the backcourt to defend with the team, and Li Shengli accurately sent the ball to Stockton to advance forward.

How will the Jazz play?

Jerry Sloan didn't even have to think about it, the strategy of attacking the general direction came out, and that was to let Li Shengli fight.

Although he doesn't know the allusion of Tian Ji's horse racing, it doesn't affect his understanding of the simple truth. Facing the Sun's weak center position, Li Shengli is the sharp knife that kills the Sun.

Don't care if you can play in other positions!

It is always right to find the most stable point and hit hard.

At this time, the Jazz advanced to the three-point line, Malone ran back and pulled Barkley away, and everyone else was pulling the Suns' defense, but Li Shengli and Stockton looked at each other, went straight to the penalty area, and passed the lob pass over the head .

boom!

A loud bang.

In a tense and terrified mood, Mark West seemed to have seen the scene of the world falling apart. Li Shengli completed a restricted area gliding, plus an alley-oop.

How to stop this?

How the hell are you going to play this?

Mark West had already been mentally prepared to face the perverted slugger Li Shengli, but now it seems... this preparation is not enough.

Barkley is a flying pig?

So what is this guy, a land-air amphibious bulldozer?

……

The opening gliding relay, the opening of the Jazz Corps, the morale is like a rainbow.

I have to say that the cooperation between Li Shengli and Stockton has become more proficient, because if you want to complete this cooperation, it is not only important to grasp the timing, but also to test the tacit understanding between the two.

Easy to fight again.

Li Mars made his first appearance, and the Phoenix Tridents also launched a joint operation. Kevin Johnson advanced with the ball, first swayed away from Stockton, and broke into the inside...

It is always dangerous to be breached.

Because in the man-to-man defense, as long as one link is broken, it will inevitably affect the defensive line in a short time. After all... a breakthrough requires supplementary defense, and supplementary defense means that another off-ball position has leaked open.

Malone was nearby, and he had no choice but to defend, but it was Barkley who leaked!

"Next, Barkley!" Kevin Johnson broke through with a smile on his lips, and Barkley was so familiar with this scene that he immediately rose from the ground after receiving the ball.

Want to shoot?

How can it be so easy!

Li Shengli mobilized in an instant, first squeezed away Mark West, and then flew out with a flying body. Mark West and Barkley were stunned by his body that covered the sky.

Mark was baffled that he was like a sand sculpture, and he would disperse as soon as he pushed, because Li Shengli, who burst out of strength in an instant, was not human at all; and Buckley was baffled... Li Shengli's flying was too fast, and what was even more terrible was the gap between the two of them. height difference.

Is it a vote or a point?

The time left for Barkley was only a blink or two, and his body made a choice for him, and he shot decisively, but... the instinctive choice is not always correct.

boom!

A loud bang.

Because of his full physical fitness at the beginning and the distance from Barkley, Li Shengli had to be fast in order to block the goal. Not only did he move fast and take off fast, but he also had to move fast.

This series of speeds has been interpreted to the extreme.

If you use a high-speed camera to play it back, you can see... the moment his palm touched the ball, the ball deformed in a large area. Fortunately, the quality of the ball used in the NBA is good. After the internal gas rebounds, it seems that there is no serious problem , at least not visible to the naked eye.

All-out volleyball smash!

This power is still too amazing, but the embarrassing thing is... Li Shengli was facing the referee of this game, and the big smash jumped directly to the referee's face.

It hurts to be hit in the face by a basketball.

These amazingly powerful players in the NBA are terrifying, and Li Shengli's big smash really knocked the referee to the ground and slapped him.

beep!

In the silent American West Stadium, only a strange whistle could be heard. The linesman rushed over to see the boss, and everyone on the scene, including the audience watching the live broadcast, all looked at the 'culprit' Li Shengli.

Hit the referee?

How ruthless is this special code!

Didn't say a word when you came up, and you overthrew the referee first? !

Speaking of it, it is not uncommon for referees to be injured. After all, some strange things will always happen in the fierce competition. It is normal for players to fall and hit the referee occasionally.

But this time it was different... The game had only been going on for 1 minute, and the nearby fans and staff saw the referee's face covered in blood and fainted, they all took a breath and had toothaches.

Are you going to get a box lunch now?

Fortunately, the NBA officially expected this situation... Players have substitutes, and so do referees. The substitute referee came on the stage and temporarily took over the work of the predecessor.

However, this configuration is only limited to the playoffs. In the regular season, the referees are usually handed over to blow the rest of the game. After all... referees also need money to blow the whistle. Who can ignore the cost!

There was a delay of more than a minute.

The 'starting' referee for this game has been confirmed and received a lunch box in advance, so the game continued, and the substitute referee and the two line referees became more aggrieved the more they watched Li Shengli.

You know, in NBA games, no one can shake the referee's position on the court, but Li Shengli's perverted smash directly jumped off the original referee, scaring the two line referees.
