NBA restricted area bulldozer

Chapter 340

The existence of Spike Lee is just an episode in the first quarter, which can be regarded as a dramatic expansion beyond the battle of the finals, but when it comes to the game... the two sides still bit the score quite tightly in the first quarter, and there is no surprise for Spike. Too much impact on the Jazz.

For the Jazz, Ma Long's poor hand feeling was reflected from the beginning. The outside line that has always been weak did not have much offensive performance. On the contrary, the double insurance in the inside line took effect.

首节出手10中8，罚球2中2，单节18分！

Whether it's free throws, mid-range shots or storming the basket, Li Shengli's stability is frighteningly high. What's even more frightening is that Ma Long is willing to give Li Shengli a gun stock, just like Li Shengli used him as a blue-collar partner before, and his data is rare. There was a phenomenon of 4+7 and more rebounds than points.

4 points in a single quarter is not satisfactory, but 7 rebounds in a single quarter is quite impressive, after all, he averaged only 11.2 rebounds per game.

From this point of view, with Li Shengli's selfless proof, Malone has also adapted to such a role change, making the Jazz's inside toughness stronger... Either two blossoms and let the opponent explode in place; or one attack and one assist, the offensive efficiency maximize.

……

With a score of 28:27, the Jazz entered the second quarter behind by 1 point.

At this time in the Madison Garden Arena, the irascible fans led by Spike have basically died down. Even if there are occasional boos, it is not as extreme as the first quarter. On the contrary, Pat Riley ...It is rare to replace the Knicks' core Ewing, and Herb Williams replaced Ewing!

Get off Ewing?

What does it mean?

Li Shengli was a little confused about the Knicks' intentions, so he still landed in the second quarter of the game. Although every game in the finals is very important, but with a big score of 2:0, if the Jazz also win the G3 game If you win the match point, the psychological pressure on the Knicks will be very high.

……

The Knicks go first.

Herb Williams was used as a substitute. To be honest...his offense and defense could not pose a threat to Li Shengli, but this time the offense was launched from the inside out. Starks, the current main scorer of the Knicks, scored a three-pointer. Divide the ball.

Offensive and defensive easy side!

Li Shengli gave Crotty a pick-and-roll from a high position, turned around and went down to the basket to catch the ball, but Williams stuck Li Shengli with a livid face and tensed muscles, and handed over the task of defending Crotty to his teammates.

In such an instant, the opportunity to call out came out.

Crotty has never been a player who is afraid of hitting the iron. Williams didn't care about him, and when the defense was not in place, he shot directly and decisively. Although it was the iron, the ball was not shot by Li Shengli, so Li Shengli Taking advantage of the momentum, he grabbed the offensive rebound not far from the basket.

In this position, it is too easy to play a second attack. However, when Li Shengli landed and wanted to take off for the second time, Pat Riley on the sidelines yelled regardless, causing Williams to swing his arm directly. He rushed up and fouled, but the goal was missed, allowing Li Shengli to go to the free throw line.

Want to rely on foul suppression?

How can there be such an easy thing!

Even amidst the boos of the home fans, Li Shengli still made 2 free throws.

……

In the next game, everyone could see Pat Riley's intentions.

From the performance of the Jazz in the first quarter, Li Shengli's offensive efficiency of 10 out of 8 is too terrifying, but the efficiency of others is not enough, so Pat Riley's arrangement is naturally aimed at Li Shengli, and the best way to do so It is high-pressure confrontation and tactical fouls.

Although fouls are not very economical for a player with a hot touch, fouls will inevitably occur under high-pressure confrontation, so the purpose of replacing Ewing... On the one hand, he wants to retain his relatively precious number of fouls, and on the other hand, he also wants to reduce the number of fouls slightly. Stagger the playing time of him and Li Shengli to maximize the ratio of time and efficiency!

Therefore, the entire second quarter is the rhythm brought out by the Knicks.

But whenever Li Shengli receives the ball, Herb Williams will fight with all his might, and he will show stronger defensive skills than Ewing when he doesn't care about fouling. Even Oakley has slightly relaxed his defense against Malone. Assist Williams.

Pat Riley's arrangement was effective. Li Shengli made 8 of 5 shots in the second quarter.

Although on the surface, both the number of shots and the number of hits are in a downward trend, in fact, the Jazz's offense is still led by Li Shengli, even crazier than the first quarter, and the reason why he took 8 shots is because he still has 5 shots were fouled, not counted in the shot data, only free throws were counted.

Shot, 8 of 5!

Free throws, 10 of 8!

Li Shengli scored another 18 points in the second quarter. Including the first quarter, he scored 36 in the half. And because of the Knicks' targeting of Li Shengli, the pressure on the Jazz's other positions was greatly reduced, and the offense became smoother. They fell behind at the beginning of the second quarter. 1 point turned into an 11-point lead!

……

The atmosphere in the Jazz locker room at halftime was quite relaxed, especially for head coach Jerry Sloan.

To be honest, coaching a third-rate team without superstars, no matter how strong Sloan is, he would be too good for nothing. But coaching the Jazz... He once felt that he was the most relaxed head coach in the league. , even the weak outside line can't stop them from moving forward. It's the combination of Li Shengli + Ma Long's inside double kings that carries everyone to run!

"Shit, how do you feel about the finals? It's not as difficult as the previous rounds!" Ma Long grumbled while feeling secretly refreshed.

"Why, big brother, do you still want them to make it more difficult?" Benoit teased, "If it weren't for Li's good hand today, this game would not be easy!"

"That's right, but as long as Li maintains this feeling, the opponent won't be able to deal with it at all. We still win this game!" Crotty also said.

"Okay, don't brag about me, finish the last two quarters and get the match point!" Li Shengli's tense nerves have not yet relaxed, even if he doesn't want to make himself too important, but in fact the outcome of the game It depends on his performance, "Keep up, if you really get the match point, the Knicks will have no hope of coming back, and in the next few games, I will guard for you, you can play whatever you want, play Be happy!"

With a word from Li Shengli, everyone except Ma Long was excited!

After all, in the finals, if Li Shengli can be fed into a data fat man on the battlefield of the finals, even if he is fed, it will be a highlight moment in a lifetime. If you think about Li Shengli carefully, the fact is really like this...

Throughout the history of the NBA, no team can come back in a 0:3 situation, because under the 7-game 4-win game system, wanting to make a comeback means that the trailing side has to win 4 games in a row.

What is the concept of winning 4 games in a row?In the middle of this, there is also the psychological pressure to leave after losing a game. It is estimated that no one can imagine that kind of despair, so this finals... The outcome of the G3 game is particularly important. As Li Shengli said, the Knicks lost Winning G3 is tantamount to losing the finals!

……

What the Jazz can see, the Knicks can also see, and the atmosphere in their locker room is terrible, everyone's face is full of resentment and resentment, especially...

"This game, we must not lose, definitely!"

"Looks like it depends on me? I really hope they can withstand it, or else..."

"I've been aggrieved until now, and it's finally time for us to perform!"

"That's right, if we don't fight once, we won't have a chance!"
