NBA restricted area bulldozer

Chapter 354 The situation is critical

The atmosphere at the scene was extremely tense at this time, and the security guards rushed up with the anti-riot shield. Some fans might feel that it was a fuss and an exaggeration, but in fact it was still very necessary.

Looking at the most serious brawl in NBA history, Tomjanovich of the Rockets was punched out of the cerebrospinal fluid, which can be called the first tragedy in history, but at that time it was different from the current G4 game...

Because the conflict on the field is sudden, there is no way to prevent it in advance and effectively, but now everyone thinks that Li Shengli will continue to engage Spike, so the solution is much simpler, either expel Spike or send Li Shengli off.

The problem is that neither option works.

The former is the benchmark of the Knicks fans, representing the fan group, it is ridiculous to ask him to leave him for no reason, and the latter is the core leader of the visiting team. It is really because of an "accident" that he was sent off in the finals match. That's fun. It's even bigger, no one will believe that it's not a black whistle, the Knicks are definitely criticized by thousands of people, and the credibility that the alliance has finally established will also be ruined!

There is never a perfect solution to all things. The only difference lies in which solution can minimize the impact. Although the handling of home security seems ridiculous, it is the best choice among the helpless choices, taking care of the emotions of many parties. , and reduce the impact as much as possible.

It's just... someone is worrying too much!

……

Back to the game.

Although all members of the Jazz are fully cooperating with Li Shengli, in fact, they did not suffer at all in this half quarter. Even though Jameson, who came up to receive the award, affected the Jazz's offensive efficiency, Li Shengli's blocking of everyone also suppressed the Knicks. The rhythm, and the leading point difference still maintains a 13 points, and the time is one and a half quarters left.

Regardless of other things, the Knicks are in a state of madness at the moment. After all, this is the first time they have reached the finals in the past 20 years. It is also the closest time Ewing has come to the championship, even if the Knicks do not win the championship You can also earn a lot of money, but no one can refuse the highest honor in the league!

If you fight once, you still have a chance, if you don't fight once, you will lose everything!

Of course, Jerry Sloan saw and guessed this change in the Knicks' mentality. In his opinion, in order to bring down the Jazz, the Knicks had to replace Li Shengli and Malone, who had both committed 4 fouls. There must be no less internal friction, even more intense than ever.

The fact is indeed the case. Ewing broke out to an unprecedented peak state, pulling his partner Smith to crazily attack the inside line of the Jazz, and he succeeded repeatedly. Hands are tied.

Until the end of the third quarter.

The second half became the rhythm of the Knicks chasing points, reducing the point difference to 8 points and entering the final quarter, and the Jazz during the intermission...Jerry Sloan made the main lineup all appear, and Darren, who originally planned to receive the award A few people can only move back a little.

……

"Ewing seems to be starting to explode." The fourth quarter started immediately, and Ma Long said to Li Shengli with some worry. Although he said he wanted to fight another game, he was quite honest in his heart.

"Outbreak? It's too late to explode now!"

"But the problem is... you and I have played a little too much. Unless you are on the court all the time, it will be difficult for Ewing to stop him. In fact, the Knicks' internal and external offensive efficiency has surpassed ours."

"It's okay, there are still 8 points, hold it and win!"

"Hopefully, it would be great if John was here, at least one more offensive point. Also, that guy Smith started to make small moves in the third quarter. I'm afraid that my foul count will not last, and I have committed 4 fouls already! "

"Relax, we have a big score of 3:0, what are we afraid of, this quarter first depends on the rhythm of the Knicks, if they chase too tightly, or overtake, maybe Crotty can help!"

Li Shengli is also a little worried. Reasonably, 8 points can't lock people up. If the Knicks counterattack too hard and recover in half a quarter, the subsequent situation will be more difficult, because the playing time of him and Malone will seriously exceed the standard, and even need to After playing four quarters, the offensive and defensive status will drop.

"Crotty? This kid might be able to enter the defensive second team in a few more seasons, but the offense...he is still far behind. At most, he is more courageous than others!"

"That's enough. Don't forget that Crotty is the only three-pointer the Jazz can see. Maybe it can be used at critical moments. In short, our chances of winning this game are still greater than Ewing's."

"Okay, let's keep the point difference first, we don't need to think about the following things, let the coach have a headache."

……

Finally, the crucial fourth quarter begins.

The main players of the Jazz were all at once, and the Knicks naturally couldn't hold back their energy. The two sides fought back and forth, but the Knicks still took the initiative... Defensive point guard Harper was pulled to defend the Jazz's outside firepower. The effect is good, and Crotty on the Jazz's side is also uncomfortable defending Starks. In comparison, it is probably a six or four, and the Knicks are six.

As for the inside contest.

Mason bit the bullet and hit the basket repeatedly to attract Li Shengli's defense. Ewing, who had returned to form, suddenly burst out with terrifying offensive efficiency, and his mid-range shots were terribly stable. On the other hand, Li Shengli... Physical fitness is still an unavoidable problem, and his offensive and defensive state is somewhat different. The decline gave Ewing the upper hand, and objectively speaking, it was six or four.

As for Malone's match against Smith, because of the limitation of the number of fouls, Smith raised his head and played a [-]-[-] offense and defense unprecedentedly.

Although the game cannot be compared simply by odds and odds, the Jazz were still at a disadvantage when simply looking at the confrontation in the fourth quarter, and until 7 minutes into the final quarter, the Knicks tied the score abruptly. With this rhythm, the Jazz can't brake yet.

……

The last 5 minutes, 93:93!

Everyone knows that the Jazz will definitely be doomed if the game continues like this, because the rhythm of the game is in the hands of the Knicks, and Ewing has no way to deal with it. It is no problem for Li Shengli to defend alone, but the problem is that Mason has also raised his head. , Repeatedly hit the inside line to pull Li Shengli and create opportunities for Ewing.

It is worth mentioning that, behind the Knicks' pace of chasing points, Li Shengli and Malone have not only exceeded the playing time, but also broke 5 fouls. If they are not careful, they will overturn. In fact... the Jazz Chariot has already turned half up.

……

"Lee, you hit it again!" Jerry Sloan called a timeout when the Knicks overtook, "Felton, you change Carl to help Lee stabilize the rebound, as for the positioning... Smith has also played more than two quarters, you must grab the low position first, and play the double tower with Li!"

"Don't talk yet!" Jerry Sloan suppressed Felton and said to Benoit: "Benoit, if you make me a problem again, I promise you will never touch the ball in the future. Go, go and give me the ball." Crotty picks and rolls. As for Crotty, you pull out of the three-point line and shoot them for me!"

Jerry Sloan spoke quickly, reemphasizing everyone's mission.

The reason for winning Malone is very simple, 5 fouls and physical fitness are the reasons, but the most critical thing is that in the last 5 minutes, Jerry Sloan must ensure that Li Shengli and Malone must be present to execute the key ball attack.

As for Benoit, not being able to prevent Mason from breaking through is a big problem, but it is still a good choice for the big man to pull out to pick and roll Crotty, and the reason why Crotty is allowed to hit a three-pointer is really forced by the situation. Bundle!

Take a gamble, if you win the bet, you will win the championship, and if you lose the bet, you will not die. The Jazz's first three wins gave them the confidence.

Even if Crotty's shooting percentage is really bad, Jerry Sloan's Li Shengli + Felton's twin-tower combination can effectively control rebounds and play a second offense. It can be regarded as the second insurance. After the death, there is no hope of even turning the tables.

"I've said all I need to say, relax your mind a bit, I just want to see your attitude now, just do your best to do the tasks I assigned to you. Alright, get ready to play!"

Jerry Sloan set the tone with one word, and as the coach also gave the generals a dose of reassurance, and in the next 5 minutes, everything will be decided!
