NBA restricted area bulldozer

Chapter 317 First win of the playoffs

Because of the combination of Li Shengli and Crotty, other positions are more involved in defense, while Sloan directly off the main force, sending all speed players on the court to cooperate with the fast-paced offense and defense on the court.

The faster the pace, the more mistakes, this is indisputable!

Crotty's ball-handling ability is not as good as Stockton's. Fortunately, Sloan's "cunning" saw this. The impact speed of the three speed players flew up, even if the fast-moving Crotty made a mistake and was cut off, It can also ensure that there are enough people to fight for the ball or return to defense quickly.

And speaking of Crotty.

Unlike the first 6 minutes, the shooting was terribly low and the free throws were astonishingly accurate, so there was no need for the Nuggets to foul him except for the fast break, and it was this slack that allowed Crotty to recover from his hits.

Made 4 of 2 three-pointers.

As for free throws, they are still efficient, 4 of 4.

……

The third quarter was definitely the turning point of the game, as the Jazz entered the fourth quarter with a 6-point lead.

从下半场开场落后的8分，到现在领先6分，第三节里外里打出了一个36:22、反超14分的高潮出来，而克罗蒂单节拿到惊人的24分，李胜利更是单节两双、10分+12板+3助攻+2盖帽，包揽的全队几乎全数的出手。

Somewhat surprisingly, the Jazz still didn't send Malone in the fourth quarter.

To be honest, Ma Long's playing will not affect the rhythm of Li Shengli + Crotty, and can even supplement part of the rebounds and firepower when Li Shengli misses the second attack, but Jerry Sloan also understands... the meaning of this It's not big, but Ma Long has a sense of overkill and has become a supporting role in this game.

Therefore, Sloan simply let Li Shengli continue to fight with Crotty. Anyway, the rhythm is good. As long as the rhythm is broken, Malone's appearance will be to maintain stability, which is of great significance. It not only gives Li Shengli face, but also makes Malone a The pivotal finale general will not lose his share.

In the case of a good situation, this is the best way to get the best of both worlds outside the game.

……

No one will sit still, and the Nuggets are naturally actively breaking the situation.

The jazz's tempo is fast, so let's force the tempo down, so Iser's formation is to press the whole court, so tight that it is terrible, in order to suppress Crotty's surprise attack.

The effect of this is of course obvious. In the middle of the fourth quarter, the fast pace of the Jazz's comeback was really suppressed, but before that, Li Shengli still led Crotty to score 5 points The advantage came out, and the total score lead reached 11 points.

Leading by 11 points in the half quarter? !

The game is basically stable.

Sloan finally called a timeout and played another monstrous five-up.

Crotty returned to the field but the hand feeling was not good. Without the blessing of Li Shengli, he could not play very good results. Li Shengli played three and a half quarters and it was time. As for the other three positions, they were all speed substitutes, so they were played. It's okay to change the main force.

So Malone led Tyrone, Benoit, Felton, and Bond to set up the Jazz's situational stability maintenance team, and made their debut again, preparing to defend the country that Li Shengli had conquered. Will play again.

Crotty scored 3 points in the first half, but scored 28 points in the second half. There is a big difference between the two, with a total of 31 points.

As for Li Shengli, with a triple-double of 35 points, 23 rebounds, 11 assists, and 5 blocks, the total of the two is 66 points. If Malone is included... In this game, the data of the Jazz players is polarized and rich. , The poor starve to death.

Of course, this also shows that the Jazz's firepower is very concentrated, but the concentration of firepower has advantages and disadvantages. If you fight smoothly, you will kill people, but if you fight badly, you will be killed.

Fortunately, this one is the former!

……

Ma Long led the team to take over the game, and Li Shengli had no worries at all.

On the one hand, the three guns on the periphery of the Nuggets are almost unable to hold on, and they have been exhausted with him until now, and their physical fitness and hand feel have dropped. On the contrary, Ma Long is like a gangster who has just been released from prison, and he is relentlessly catching the main force of the Nuggets. Power forward Lafonso hit hard.

Although the Nuggets are still desperately resisting, without Li Shengli's suppression, Mutombo also showed his aggressiveness, but Felton, who re-entered the fifth position, is also a meat shield. There is no reason to let Mutombo Comfortable, it was a [-]-[-] split, as for Malone playing Lafonso, it was a [-]-[-] split.

The inside line is dominant, and the outside line is inferior.

The point difference, the Jazz couldn't expand it, and the Nuggets couldn't shrink it. They hung around 10 points back and forth, and this situation lasted until the last round... The Nuggets were desperate.

The score between the two sides was fixed at 101:110, and the Jazz took the lead in the first round of the playoffs.

You must know that the Nuggets broke out in this game. Chris is simply a magic weapon, and it is their highest outbreak. However, even so, they were knocked off by the Jazz. Hall is very pessimistic about the upcoming games.

The highest outbreak can't beat others?

If the next game, the next game is a normal performance, or even a low performance, isn't it fucked?

What kind of fight is this? The more Isel looked at Li Shengli, the colder he felt all over his body, because he really couldn't think of any way to contain this kind of super center. It might not be effective to put the inside power on him, but This method has not counted Karl Malone!

As for the next few games, Issel can rely on Chris and his main shooting players. However, shooting must be matched with rebounds. Dry shooting without rebounds is tantamount to drinking poison to quench thirst, and all he can do is to use tactical arrangements for Chris and the others. Create more shots and let Mutombo and Rafonso fight for rebounds as much as possible.

……

The Jazz have hit the ground running.

At the same time, there will be a total of 8 teams and 4 games on the first day of the playoffs.

In the West, the Jazz won the Nuggets by 1 points in the G9 game, and the Rockets won the Trail Blazers by 1 points in the G10 game. These two games were not upset, and the outcome was expected.

In the Eastern Conference... the Eagles, the No. [-] player in the regular season, were beaten by the Heat at home.

至于另外一场的则是魔术对阵步行者，魔术同样是主场被捶，奥尼尔拿到了33分+19板+5盖帽的数据，首次登陆季后赛的哈达威拿到了12分+10助攻+9篮板的准三双。

The Magic played really well, but the Pacers had a big hitter, Reggie Miller, who made 18 of 9 two-pointers, 7 of 3 three-pointers, 10 of 10 free throws, and scored 37 points in one fell swoop. With a 1-point lead, O'Neal, who was also playing in the playoffs for the first time, cried, and this guy's free throws were still stable, 6 of 1.

To be reasonable, if it is not a moving free throw, O'Neal will take 1 more free throw for overtime and 2 more free throws to directly win, and the requirement of 6 out of 3 free throws cannot be lower, but in the case of no interference at home , still not able to do it.

O'Neal cried, but Malone laughed.

Since being stolen by O'Neill's monkey, Ma Long has been thinking about finding opportunities to taunt O'Neill all the time, and after the magic game, the two talked passionately on the phone for half an hour...

To be honest, O'Neal's life is difficult. This season is the first time in the history of the Magic to rush into the playoffs. Both the experience of the competition and the background of the team are half behind the opponent. All hopes are on O'Neal.

But no matter how difficult the day is, we have to live it!

Li Shengli sympathized with O'Neill, comforted this old friend by phone, and sincerely wished the Magic... being swept away by the Pacers.
