Chapter 315 The First Disciple

The regular season and the playoffs are two worlds.

Although we will meet opponents in the playoffs during the regular season, we don't have the high concentration of sixteen teams in the finals in the usual games, and the fighting power of the Nuggets in this battle is absolutely terrifying. The team also has to eat ashes.

But it's still too early to tell the outcome. Sloan made emergency formations and fine-tuned the lineup during the halftime break. What is surprising is that Malone did not play in the third quarter.

For a long time, the cooperation between Li Shengli and Malone has been the key to the Jazz's victory, and for this game, Sloan has to consider...the two brothers' playing time must be staggered.

If the two are at the same level, it will inevitably lead to the Jazz's offense entering a vacuum period, and the best way is to stagger a little time, even if it is only half a quarter, at least it can ensure that the inside line is maintained every second. Certain lethality.

"Bennot, no matter what method I use, I must suppress Chris!" Jerry Sloan's face was only cold when he first spoke, but when he thought of Benoit's defense, he was beaten by Chris in one quarter. With 13 points, he opened his mouth again and turned into a roar, "Are you afraid of his kick? Are you afraid of fouling or being kicked to death by him?"

"Coach, I..."

"Shut up while stepping on the horse. If you lose this game, you will sit on the bench for me forever and don't look up! What's wrong with the kick, you won't disable him if you step on the horse? This kind of dirty trick has used ten thousand It's over, what are you waiting for, jerk?"

"I do not……"

"Shut up, I didn't let you talk!" Jerry Sloan slammed his fist on the tactical board, "And you, Tyrone, are the same, I don't care about your past data and performance, those who are incompetent just wait to get out !"

"As for Crotty, Carl isn't here, so you should increase your shots in the next game! I have to tell you something today... Li gave you a chance to start at the beginning, but you didn't get any points for your performance this season. Is it?" Sloan's attitude was absolutely stern, but his next words were even more stern, "I know you want to be traded with Li, but I advise you to think clearly... You don't need waste by Li's side, you If you behave like this, don't bother him, okay?"

Crotty has always had a dead face with no expression and is not good at talking, but when he heard Sloan's words that Li Shengli doesn't want trash around him, he suddenly woke up... In the mess of next season, what can he bring to Li Shengli?

No one cared about Crotty's feelings, Jerry Sloan continued to speak to Li Shengli again.

However, compared with other people, his attitude towards Li Shengli has changed drastically. After all, he owes Li Shengli, the Jazz owes Li Shengli, everyone owes Li Shengli, and he can't even keep his own capable general. Li Shengli, who played perfectly in this game, got angry.

"Lee, it's up to you. After half a quarter, I will arrange you to rest and Carl to play, no matter what the situation is, and this half quarter... please give me a satisfactory point difference." Jerry Sloan highlighted the 'please ' This word, and Li Shengli just nodded without asking extra words.

……

After halftime.

The Jazz's lineup was led by Li Shengli, Felton replaced Malone, and the rest were Tyrone, Benoit, and Crotty, and the four walked around Li Shengli.

"Listen, let's play for a while, there is nothing to worry about! Don't deliberately pass to me, just shoot when you have a chance, don't care whether you make it or not, the rebound...is my business!" Just after being scolded by Sloan, Everyone's face was not good-looking, but Li Shengli clapped his hands and shouted at the four teammates, especially Crotty who was hanging at the end.

"Crotty, it's your turn to perform later!"

"What do you need me to do?"

"You have to ask yourself, but... I need a lunatic who dares to shoot!" Li Shengli's voice was relatively low, "Listen to me, the coach has asked you to increase your shots, and you will fire with all your strength in a while! I can suppress the inside. Everyone, so what you have to do is to speed up the pace of the game until no one can catch us!"

"can!"

"It's not possible, it's a must. Don't worry and vote boldly!"

"it is good!"

"Can't you say a few more words if you step on the horse?"

"Yes, ok!"

……

Back to the game.

The Nuggets still attacked in the first round, but Mutombo reappeared and pulled Li Shengli to the left side of the penalty area. Reggie Williams took the opportunity to shake off Tyrone and burst into the basket from the right side.

After the two quarters, the Nuggets had very few breakthrough layups, but this time the opportunity was really good. Felton was also entangled by Lafonso, and Li Shengli seemed to be...too late to defend.

"Nice job, Reggie!" Mutombo was very happy that his pulling was not in vain, because Li Shengli was at a distance that could not interfere with Reggie Williams' layup, but Li Shengli didn't want to give up.

"Get out!" There was a loud shout, the voice was so loud that it was unimaginable, even the audience in the first row were startled. Reggie Williams, who was the first to bear the brunt, saw Li Shengli stepping over, and the ball was dropped directly. Felton received this guy's 'pass' with a dazed expression.

"Damn, what are you doing?"

"He is so far away, what are you afraid of!"

"Stop talking, back on defense, back on defense!"

At this moment, the Nuggets players are not calm, and Li Shengli yelled and let go of the goal that he was sure of?Isn't this mistake too low-level?

Mistakes are common, even if they are a little low-level. Fortunately, the Nuggets returned to defense in a timely manner. From outside the three-point line on the court, he made a direct shot.

To be honest, Crotty's shooting doesn't have too many characteristics. The ugly point is that it is dry and dry, unlike Jordan's picturesque backward leaning and Reggie Miller's kicking chicken thief, but he hits Just by surprise, although he missed a three-pointer, Li Shengli still caught the rebound, turned around and smashed the ball into the basket with Mutombo on his back.

……

Hit a little fast!

There are no rules yet!

Is this the Jazz already panicking?

Issel was smiling happily on the sidelines. The current situation is too friendly for the Nuggets. On the other hand, the Jazz's offense this time, although it is true to score, but there is really no cooperation. attack.

In Issel's view, the Jazz are already on the road to collapse, and he has already passed this game, thinking about how to respond to the second game.

However...the Jazz's disorganization is unreasonable, especially Li Shengli is unreasonable.

The Jazz in the first half of the third quarter seemed to be going crazy. Jerry Sloan clearly told Crotty to increase his shots at halftime, but what he didn't expect was that the shots would increase so much. Just vote.

Half a quarter, just half a quarter, Crotty threw 6 three-pointers. Although he only hit 2 of them, several of them were caught by Li Shengli on the offensive rebound and played a second offense. There were also other positions. It accounted for a part of the shot, and this situation made everyone look stupid.

Within 10 seconds, the Jazz will definitely launch the first attack!

If the running time from the backcourt to the frontcourt is also counted, it is almost as if you are in position.

Within 3 seconds, if the first attack fails to score and there are rebounds, the second attack must be finished!

Li Shengli did not reason with the Nuggets at all. The 3-second second attack meant that from his grabbing the board to landing, and then taking off and shooting, it was almost done in one go.

An attack does not exceed 13 seconds at most?

However, the facts are far scarier than this statistic.

Because Crotty's defensive strength was reduced, he concentrated on waiting for Li Shengli's backcourt rebounds to grab a fast break, but single-handedly and long-distance raids as if he was dead. Crotty was brought down by the defender three times in succession, and he completed it with efficient free throws in disguise. attack.

So on average, an attack by the Jazz will be completed in less than 10 seconds.

The Nuggets were completely caught off guard. Although they still maintained their efficiency in the first half, they had no choice but to follow suit against the background of the Jazz's rapid acceleration. The more it soared, even Isaiel couldn't save the situation even by calling a timeout.

The Nuggets led by 8 points in the first half, but were wiped out just over halfway through the third quarter. Li Shengli scored 6 points abruptly, and the real horror was Crotty...

6 of 2 three-pointers from beyond the three-point line, failed!

1 for 0 on two-pointers inside the three-point line, it's rubbish!

To be reasonable, this kind of efficiency would have been beaten to death by the head coach on any team, but Jerry Sloan was not.

Because Crotty made 8 of 8 from the free throw line, made a rescue, and scored a total of 6 points in 14 minutes. The Nuggets knew that Crotty shot at a high speed, and he was fouled under tight defense. , In addition, the three attempts to grab the fast break were actively intercepted.

To be honest, there are a lot of players in the NBA who have offensive garbage and accurate free throws, but not everyone can follow a big brother like Li Shengli, and no matter whether it is the fans at the scene or the audience watching the game, everyone knows... Order The first disciple under the throne, Crazy Crotty reappeared.

Disciples don't need too much strength, disciples need more faith, you believe in order, even a pig can help you take off, and the treatment enjoyed by the first disciple, let the benches and drinking fountains who are not well-known in the entire league see it So greedy, I set up the pots and pans and watched the arrival of order.
