Chapter 223 Opening the Counterattack Storm

The second quarter started.

Speaking of which, Jerry Sloan's tactical focus before the game was defense, so the Jazz's defense was very strong throughout the first quarter, and besides that, what made him most happy was the effect of the offensive bombing, completely controlling the game Rhythm.

All the Jazz speeded up, regardless of whether the other positions of the Suns returned to defense in time, but one thing is certain, Li Shengli, who was running wildly, pulled the Suns center far away, and neither Miller nor Mark could catch up.

It is this that allows the Jazz to usher in a short-term opportunity to play more and less in the process of rapidly advancing the frontcourt. Although they can also play in normal offense and defense, it is definitely not as easy as playing more and less.

It is worth mentioning that the first shot in the offensive round is not necessarily Li Shengli. After all, compared with the backcourt players, Li Shengli's body is so big, and his speed is still a bit slower.

But slow is only slow, and whether it is Crotty, Tyrone, or Stockton, Li Shengli, who has just sprinted to the basket, can guarantee the offensive rebounds well. If his teammates can't score, he will hit two An offense, and Barkley wants to make up for the defense, and no one can limit Malone.

For a time, the morale of the Jazz Corps was like a rainbow, and the fight became smoother.

The rhythm of the second quarter is still in the Jazz's fast lane. As for the sun, he can't control the rhythm but can't. He is completely led by the Jazz and can only follow behind to eat exhaust gas.

……

"Damn it, Li is too crazy, isn't he?"

"My God, is he dying? His body will definitely not be able to handle such a fight. Even if this is a tiebreaker, there is no need to cripple yourself!"

Today, there is only this game in the entire league. To say that it is highly anticipated is an understatement. After all, there were nearly [-] spectators at the scene, not to mention the fans watching before the live broadcast. And TNT's middle-aged and elderly commentators Nature will not be absent.

George Gervin and Larry Bird both expressed surprise, while Thompson and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar on the opposite side looked calm but also worried.

"Slow down, you have to slow down, Jerry Sloan is fighting for Lee's career by playing like this!" Thompson said with a heavy face: "The Jazz have played 13 games in the playoffs, but Lee's average playing time has already It's 44 minutes."

I don't know if I don't mention it, but when Thompson reminded, everyone discovered...it seems to be true.

The confrontation at the center position is already fierce. While taking on the offensive pressure, he also has to take on the responsibility of defending the inside line, which consumes a lot of energy.

Even for a team like the Rockets, Olajuwon's average time did not exceed 40 minutes per game, but Li Shengli played an astonishing 44 minutes in the Jazz's playoffs.

In fact, physical consumption is not the key. The key is that after the physical fitness bottoms out, the probability of injury increases, and injuries are too fatal for a player.

"Everything has a price. Li has his own choice. It's useless for you to worry. Just wait and see. The Jazz will not take the initiative to slow down. It depends on how the sun responds." Kareem Abdul-Jabbar said in a low voice.

……

The Jazz Express drove half a quarter, and the sun ate the exhaust for half a quarter.

Paul's seat was a little hot, and he couldn't sit still at all. He called a timeout again, because he was already behind by 8 points in this half quarter, plus the 11 points in the first quarter...

Down by 19 points in a quarter and a half?

This is also playing an egg ball?

And what frightened Paul the most was that Li Shengli scored 30 points and 12 rebounds in one and a half quarters. Because of the acceleration, all his offensive rebounds were used for the second offense, so he still had 3 assists and 2 blocks.

Therefore, if you want to beat the Jazz to overturn, Li Shengli is the top priority.

So Paul took Mark West and replaced him with Tom Chambers. So far, the center position has changed three times, but this time Tom Chambers is really special.

Chambers was once the main power forward of the Suns. At his peak, he averaged 27.2+7 per game and won the All-Star MVP in 87.

However, due to the passing of the peak period and the decline in physical condition, Barkley has become the team's lubricant substitute after joining this season. He is 2 meters tall and weighs 08 kilograms. He is good at mid-range shooting and weak against confrontation.

As for why Chambers was allowed to play the 4th position at the 5th position?

Apparently, Paul was out of luck. Li Shengli beat the available center. Chambers' defense and confrontation were a bit weak, but he was able to catch up with Li Shengli.

The more important point is...offensive.

Using Chambers' stable mid-range shot to kill and attract Li Shengli's defense, the Trident will naturally be easier.

……

So in the middle of the second quarter, all the members of the Suns also speeded up. Ten people on the field ran wildly, crashed repeatedly, and had traffic accidents. However, because Chambers was speeding, Li Shengli stood up again to take the rhythm... Originally, the Jazz Express became slow. tractor.

Jazz attack.

The rhythm of high-speed advancement is not there. Although Chambers is actively defending around the front, Li Shengli easily squeezes him away.

Offensive and defensive easy side.

As the new firepower, Chambers won the All-Star MVP at the beginning, which is enough to show his offensive ability. In the case of insufficient confrontation, he has to compare with Li Shengli in flexibility.

Slip outside the penalty area, if Li Shengli does not follow him, he will shoot, if he is pulled out of the penalty area, he will be given to the Trident to rush to the basket, and this time... Chambers made a fake shot in an attempt to attract Li Shengli, but Li Shengli remained motionless, with a strange feeling in his eyes.

Play feints?

If it were Olajuwon, I would not be able to jump this ball.

You can jump, but it's not necessary. Even if you are one step late, no one who deserves the hat can escape!

In this regard, Li Shengli is very confident, but Chambers on the opposite side feels a little humiliated. After all, he has made fake moves, so can't he just step on the horse and give some reaction?

And... are you looking at a fool with your eyes?

For a while, Shinobu thinks more and more angry, and takes a step back and thinks more and more losses.

Chambers straightened his back and jumped with his feet on the ground. This distance was the distance he was most confident in. However... Li Shengli was also confident in this distance.

Boo!

There was not much movement, Li Shengli cut off Hu and grabbed his cap.

Cap grabbing? !

So bullying!

Do you really think I am shameless?

Chambers' face was livid, and all the members of the Suns saw that the limelight was wrong, and immediately returned to the defense like crazy. After all, the Jazz Express had played for a quarter and a half, and they were used to the fast pace.

However things changed.

Li Shengli passed the ball to Stockton. With all the Suns in an emergency position and facing an enemy, the Jazz tractor slowly pressed into the frontcourt. Malone even took the time to tie his shoelaces. They all want to wash their feet and be a hygienic Good Boy.

……

puff!

Paul was so angry that he vomited blood!

Fearing that the Jazz would be too fast, he asked Chambers to play and the whole team speeded up, but after the speed increased, the Jazz told him... I stopped driving and played tractors instead?

This makes Paul feel powerless!

And this game was like the Sun and the Jazz opened a room, preparing for a big battle. The Sun was ready to go and yelled Come on to the Jazz loudly, but the Jazz said lightly... I'm done!

It's over... It's over?

Didn't you just take off your pants when you stepped on the horse?

Run away, Paul completely ran away!

He punched the tactical board at hand, because he was completely kited by the Jazz, and he didn't even touch the rhythm of the whole game.

The Jazz Express, led by Li Shengli, beat the Sun so hard that he couldn't lift his head.

The Jazz tractor, also Li Shengli, caught Chambers and tore it wildly, causing the sun to completely fall inside.

And the position of the center...is poisonous, and anyone who comes will be ridiculed by Li Shengli.

……

Playing until the end of the first half, Jerry Sloan's interior offensive nuclear bomb Li Shengli had already detonated, and the exploding Sun's rim shot up into a mushroom cloud. At this moment, the American West Arena was full of mourners, and the fans watching the live broadcast were frightened. enough...

Because Li Shengli's halftime statistics have reached 40 points, 15 rebounds, 4 assists, and 4 blocks.

Although in the previous game, Barkley shocked everyone by scoring 47 points in 43 minutes, but Li Shengli at this moment is about to start a counterattack in Salt Lake City...

As for Salt Lake City tonight, although the game is not here, there are still a large number of diehard fans gathered in the Triangle Center Arena. After receiving an urgent report, Jazz owner Larry Miller waved his hand and opened the arena...

A strange scene has appeared!

There were no players on the field, only the live broadcast was played on the big screen, but the atmosphere was surprisingly warm, and the hustle and bustle resounded through the city that had been silent for a long time. The crowd created a precedent for the NBA to watch live games without players at home.
