Chapter 324 Not good, Kemp is in danger!

In fact, in the Spurs' first game against the Jazz, Rodman really collapsed.

His injury was so serious that he couldn't even straighten up, let alone play, and a horrible ball mark on his stomach spread around, as if he had just pulled out a giant cupping pot, and the capillaries burst inch by inch. It is not a fatal bone injury, and it will take a while to recuperate.

However, this is the serious playoffs now, and his injury can be called a bolt from the blue for the Spurs. Because of the vacancy of the power forward, the Spurs core David Robinson has returned to the state of isolation and helplessness before, and the Spurs also In a bigger predicament than the Jazz with one less Stockton.

Based on this, Popovich, who served as the general manager of the Spurs this season, is really speechless to Rodman.

Although the rebounding monster brought about by the trade had a significant effect on improving the Spurs' regular season record this season, how could the regular season be compared with the playoffs, and such a big mistake suddenly occurred, which simply pushed the Spurs into the fire pit!

Can Rodman be blamed for the injury?

The answer is obvious, Rodman is not wrong, the mistake is that his point is too back.

However, Popovich doesn't care about this. He personally has a lot of grievances against Rodman. After all, the root cause is that Rodman went to tease Li Shengli first!

Did you say you asked for it yourself?

It's okay, you go on a horse to provoke a pervert like Li Shengli?

Even if Popovich is the general manager of the Spurs, he has to admit... Li Shengli has grown into a top super center that no one can ignore.

……

Back to the Jazz and Spurs in the second round.

To be honest, the playoffs and the regular season are basically two different things.

In the playoffs, first of all, the opponents in the game are all strong teams, and the intensity of the game is not comparable to that of the regular season. What is more important is... two consecutive games, non-stop play, the two sides' opponents' style of play, tactics and personnel The configuration is all clear, and the real fight to the end is the personal willpower of the players and the execution of the team.

To give a simple example, a tactic is a knife, and children and adults use it to achieve different effects, and Rodman's injury undoubtedly greatly reduced the power of the Spurs to swing the knife. On the other hand, the Jazz...now Even with a wooden stick, it can be [-]-[-] with the Spurs.

So in the second matchup between the two sides, the Jazz took the lead all the way from the first quarter of the game, and they completely suppressed the Spurs until the end of the game.

It is worth mentioning that the Spurs head David - Robinson.

In the second game, he obviously has recovered his position and familiar style of play, and as a master of the face-to-basket attack, he actually played a good statistic, 28 points + 11 rebounds + 4 assists + 3 blocks.

However, this kind of conventional data cannot save the Spurs' predicament, because Li Shengli and him are still not weak in this confrontation. Starting from the back-up technique, they scored 27 points + 18 rebounds + 4 assists + 4 blocks. .

If you really want to compare, the two data are basically the same except for the difference in rebounds, but in fact... Excluding free throws, the Jazz shared Li Shengli's shots because of Malone, and David Robinson's shots are higher than Li Shengli's.

In such a comparison, David Robinson's efficiency value is definitely lower than that of Li Shengli. Even Spurs fans can't justify David Robinson.

The two centers insisted that they could only open 2-0, but compared with the Spurs' [-]th position, Malone was [-]-[-] or even [-]-[-], which greatly made up for the weakness of the Jazz's weak outside offense and helped the team win in one fell swoop. In the second game, the score was [-]:[-].

……

The first round was still 5 games and 3 wins, and the second round became 7 games and 4 wins. Because the home and away game arrangement of the game system is 22111, the third game is the home of the Spurs, and David Robinson, who returned to his home court, played in the third game. Ushered in a wave of state explosion.

To be honest, if we talk about David Robinson, there are probably not many centers in the league who can play. In the third game, he showed his comprehensive ability in turn, and gradually adapted to Li Shengli's weird confrontation rhythm. , The scoring efficiency has soared compared with the previous two games, and I personally got the data of 30+13.

Although he also got the data of 28+11 in the second game, in fact, it is meaningless to compare the data alone, because his data has not increased sharply, but his efficiency has increased sharply.

In the end, with a shot lower than that of the second game, he got a stat higher than that of the second game, and the matchup with Li Shengli was regarded as a [-]-forty open.

As for this victory...

David Robinson's shots were slightly reduced, which was shared by the Spurs' outside line, and the outside line was quite competitive, so the Spurs won the third game, and the big score came to 2:1, giving San Antonio fans hope.

……

After three consecutive games, the two sides are very familiar with the opponent's arrangement, and the fourth game is also the Spurs' home court. Although Li Shengli only has 22+16 statistics, his whole-hearted defense suppresses David Robinson, making David Robinson The stats are even worse, only 17+9, but Ma Long shines, scoring 41 points.

In Game [-], the Spurs lost and the Jazz got the match point.

In Game 4, back to the home court of the Jazz, the Spurs, with a disabled lineup and huge psychological pressure, finally failed to make a comeback. With a big score of 1:[-], they were beaten back to their hometown by the Jazz. The Jazz qualified first and successfully advanced to the Western Conference Finals .

……

The following time was very boring for Li Shengli.

Because the fifth game against the Spurs is on May 5, and the first game of the Western Conference Finals is scheduled for May 17, qualifying first means that he has no game to play for nearly a week.

However, in order to maintain a good competitive state, Jerry Sloan still arranged the team's actual confrontation in groups, and even synchronized the time of the actual confrontation with the first game of the Western Conference Finals, which shows how much Sloan and the entire Jazz attach importance to the Western Conference Finals.

The waiting time is always difficult.

On May 5th, the Pacers who eliminated the Magic broke out and defeated the Eagles, the No. 19 regular season player in the Eastern Conference, with a big score of 4:2. They were the second to qualify after the Jazz.

On May 5, the Knicks and the Bulls met. This round of the series reached the seventh game, and the Knicks narrowly won the tiebreaker. After the second spring, an unusual combat power broke out.

On the same day, the last team in the West to advance to the second round also appeared. It also narrowly won the tiebreaker. The Supersonic Rockets 4:3 joined the Jazz in the Western Conference Finals, and Li Shengli, who was expected by hundreds of millions of fans, faced Ola Zhu Wang's drama was not staged.

……

"Supersonic? They again?"

"Okay, the opponent is supersonic!"

The first time he got the news, Li Shengli chatted with Ma Long. You must know that the current core player of the Supersonics is Sean Kemp. , and the reason why Ma Long is excited is... Both of them are in the fourth position.

If you play against the Spurs, the battle of a super center is very eye-catching, then against the Supersonics, the confrontation with the power forward at the fourth position will be Malone's chance to prove his strength and skills to the entire league again.

The Eastern Knicks played the Pacers, and the Western Jazz played the Supersonics. When the Eastern and Western finals came out, everyone had different thoughts, and among them... Rodman, who had just been misfortune by Li Shengli, showed a Different from the tension of ordinary people.

Supersonic?

No, Kemp is in danger!
