Chapter 334 Skyhook Gorilla?

The Jazz trailed by 18 points at halftime. It’s not uncommon for this situation to happen, but it’s not a good sign that this situation happened in the first game of the finals. Jerry Sloan has no way to deal with it, especially in this game. Ewing, who appears to be in peak form.

The Jazz's player configuration has no way, nor does it allow Jerry Sloan to make a big move on the established tactics like the original Supersonics coach George Karl, and the only thing he can do is to refine everyone on the original basis. Responsibilities, and even the specific implementation of the offensive and defensive rounds.

It can refine the tactical position, and it can provide little help to the Jazz, at least not enough to recover the 18 points behind, and the most critical point is Li Shengli. Either use defense to completely kill Ewing, or use The high-efficiency offense made up for the previous disadvantages.

However, the biggest problem now is Li Shengli's touch.

There is one thing to say, if the Jazz is based on a single-core combat system centered on Li Shengli, if he is forced to make a move, maybe the situation will be better, but in fact it is not like this... because the Jazz operates in the game. There is also Malone in the inside line.

……

How could this be?

Li Shengli's mood at this moment is extremely complicated. Although no one can maintain the peak state forever, although he can accept cold hands, what he really can't accept is...not having hands in such an important game.

"Li, are you okay?" In the locker room during the intermission, Ma Long patted Li Shengli and said, "Don't put too much pressure on yourself. If it's a big deal, let it go. You know... If it weren't for you, we probably wouldn't even It's hard to play in the Western Conference Finals."

"Let it go? Don't let the coach hear what you say."

"Nonsense, I'm already very quiet. I wouldn't say it normally, but Ewing's state is really good this time. I don't want you to put too much pressure on yourself, even if you lose the first game." It doesn't matter, as long as..."

"Let's go, the game is not over yet, I didn't admit it, why are you so anxious!"

"Shit, it seems that I am not suitable for your psychological counseling work, because you bastard...you don't feel anything at all?" Ma Long scratched his head, looked at Li Shengli who had no emotion, and cursed with a smile.

Mentality is too important for a player's on-the-spot performance, which is why there are reasons why alternative defensive tactics have the best reason to spray trash talk and go too far. This is to combat the opponent's mentality, but what surprised Ma Long is... not in good form Li Shengli doesn't seem to be too anxious.

Wait a while.

Because the intermission time is not too much, Jerry Sloan pulled the tactical board after pondering for a while. Although the general direction of internal main and external auxiliary tactics has not been changed, everyone's tasks have been refined to The specific positioning, and then implement the offensive tactics for the second half against Li Shengli and Ma Long.

……

In the third quarter, the momentum of the two sides has been revealed. Ewing and Oakley are smiling like chrysanthemums, Ma Long's face is livid, but Li Shengli did not show much emotion.

"What about pressing us to death?"

"Idiot, didn't you think that you would be blown up when you talked big?"

Ewing and Oakley taunted Jazz unscrupulously, while Ma Long was on the verge of going berserk, but was pulled by Li Shengli, and said in a low voice: "What are you in a hurry with them, we will perform in a while."

"Then it's up to you?"

"Okay, I'm fine!"

"Damn it, me too!"

"Come on then!"

"go!"

……

In the third quarter, the Knicks took the lead.

The tough defense instilled by Sloan's midfielder on the players is still somewhat effective. The defensive team led by Crotty desperately blocked the Knicks' outside shots.

Although the offensive team's running position can involve the defensive team's formation, and the mobile phone will be hidden at the moment when the defensive team's formation breaks up, but obviously this time, the Knicks did not find it, and after more than ten seconds of dawdling, this The ball was handed over to Ewing, who was relatively stable in offense.

coming!

Ewing is in place!

Li Shengli and Ma Long looked at each other.

Throughout the first half, Ewing and Li Shengli did not have an advantage in the confrontation. What prevailed was his shooting touch on the move. Li Shengli chose to be close to the body this time, and he also poured all his strength to the bottom, with his focus slightly on his right foot.

Stick it so tightly?

Are you not afraid that I will go straight to the basket?

Li Shengli's abnormal defensive posture made Ewing a little suspicious, but time was running out, he could only turn around and charge from the left, and from his point of view... Malone was still entangled with Oakley on the right side, even if he encountered Malone , You can also choose to give Oakley the ball.

It is impossible for a person to have too many thoughts in an instant, and the idealized state basically does not exist, because Ewing found that... Li Shengli followed up, refusing to give up an inch!

Oh shit!

Is this bullying my short legs?

Speaking of which, even if Ewing has reached the peak of his state, his peak cannot escape his own shackles, and this shackle is speed.

Although it is not slow compared with second-rate centers, it is a disadvantage in the same level of confrontation.

Nowadays, his style of play is often outside, and the influence of the speed attribute is there, but not that big, but... Li Shengli uses close defense to help him infinitely magnify this influence.

Speaking of which, every defensive player knows to maintain a certain defensive distance and leave enough space and time for reaction.

If you really want to defend closely, the biggest problem is that it is easy to lose your position and be squeezed into the basket by offensive players to score. However, Li Shengli still chooses to be close and use speed to make up for the loss. Even if it is a round of confrontation, Ewing leans a little inside It doesn't matter, because he can still carry him out again.

Continue to back up, turn around, and come down three times in a row. Ewing is so dizzy that he is about to vomit. Every time he wants to rush in, he will always be stood up in advance by Li Shengli, and then pushed out. He can't get close to the basket at all. He really didn't dare to make a move in front of Li Shengli.

Fuck, time is running out!

Ewing had no choice. He had to choose one for the shot or for the ball. After turning his back, he tried to fly Li Shengli in a Buddha-like gesture, but Li Shengli was rooted and unmoved, but he had an idea, and directly outside the penalty area. Two steps away, he chose to use an oversized hook to throw the ball to the basket in order to prevent Li Shengli from blocking the shot.

This... This horse is a skyhook gorilla?

There was an exclamation at the scene, Thompson in the audience laughed, and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar had a cold face, probably thinking that the large hook used by Ewing was too ugly, but the result was obvious... Ewing failed to score, and Malone grabbed it first rebound.

……

In this round, the Jazz's defensive work was the ultimate.

The Knicks didn't find a chance to make a shot from the outside line. The time to pass the ball to Ewing was 12 seconds. Ewing wanted to beat Li Shengli, but he couldn't break through the defense in the remaining 12 seconds. Instead, he was forced to make a hook. Grandpa Hand, Skyhook Gorilla.

Li Shengli is back!

It blocked Ewing for 12 seconds.

For a moment, the home fans swept away the downturn in the first half and raised their arms and shouted, because seeing Ewing's appearance... At least 12 waves of offensives were repelled within 4 seconds, even if he was given another 12 seconds for singles, it would probably be the same In the end, and this time Li Shengli pulled the brakes on the inside, it was undoubtedly the horn of the Jazz's counterattack.

……

Back to the Jazz offense.

Although the momentum has picked up a lot, the Knicks have enough food to stay calm. The 18-point lead gives them a psychological advantage. It is also because of the blockade from the outside. Seeing this situation, Li Shengli and Ma Long glanced at each other again... …

Malone received the ball from a high position, and then passed it to Li Shengli, who was carrying Ewing and squeezed to the basket. What Li Shengli thinks about being in the basket has nothing to do with the touch, and Oakley really can't ignore it.

But when he turned around to look for Li Shengli, he saw that Li Shengli threw the ball high the moment he turned around, and when he went to find the ball again... Malone had already taken off, alley-oop plus super split button , once again ignited the audience.

Oakley is so dizzy...going to throw up!
