NBA restricted area bulldozer

Chapter 366 Is it the real dish, or is it playing us?

Back to the end of the game.

Kidd did not play as expected, and Crotty continued to take his place, while Li Shengli and Curry rotated for a period of time in the first half, and their physical fitness was enough to support the final quarter of the battle, so at this time, the three brothers Still present at the same time.

It is estimated that the impression of all the media and fans on the Magic is still at the fourth place in the Eastern Conference last season, and no one is too surprised that the Mavericks entered the final quarter with a 3-point lead. After all, everyone believes that the Mavericks also have the ability to hit the playoffs fighting power.

However, in fact, there are still problems with the Mavericks. Compared with the Magic, at least Crotty is far less aggressive than Hardaway at this point, and he was able to overtake in the third quarter... Brian- Hill had to admit that Li Shengli had done too many things.

李胜利目前上场了两节半，数据26分、13板、5助攻、3盖帽、1抢断；奥尼尔的有效在场时间是同步的，数据是22分、11板、4助攻、3盖帽！

It's good to have suppression, but this weak suppression is also within the normal fluctuation range. After all, O'Neal made 8 of 3 free throws.

From this point of view, Hill didn't even think about defeating Li Shengli, just like he didn't believe that someone could defeat his O'Neill, but the problem now is... Crotty is very annoying.

Although the offense was messed up, it also suppressed Hardaway to a certain extent with defense. The most important thing is that this guy is bold and careful, and his seemingly stunned shots actually include Li Shengli's subsequent possible moves. within the scope of consideration.

As for the Magic's break, Hillmen is clear!

The first is that the inside forces don't care about Crotty, unless they are going to the basket; the second is to let Scott cooperate with O'Neal to suppress all possible follow-up actions of Li Shengli. As for the others... Although Curry and Nixon shot With a [-]-[-] split, Hardaway was also suppressed by Crotty, but in the final quarter, Hill wanted to use O'Neal to stagger the position and open up the situation, and the akimbo defensive power forward Smith equipped by the Mavericks for Li Shengli was the best breakthrough.

……

In the first round of the last quarter, the Magic attacked.

Hardaway suddenly threw back a shot to his teammate Nixon outside, and the moment the iron hit, the penalty area became restless.

Predicting where the rebound will land, Li Shengli single-handedly played tough O'Neal + Scott. As for Smith, he probably trusts Li Shengli very much, and is ready to... counterattack!

What's going on, buddy?

I got fucked by two people!

Li Shengli is really helpless!

Even if Smith could block Scott a little bit and let him do O'Neal alone, he wouldn't be so embarrassed now, being sandwiched between O'Neal and Scott, seeing the ball in his hand was directly dialed out, and Hardaway slipped into the inside line for a layup succeed.

"Hahaha, you bastard, I'll let you grab me! Guys, defend yourself, keep your spirits up, follow me in this quarter, knock them down!"

O'Neill laughed, and led the team back to the defense. On the contrary, Li Shengli hung behind with a stiff face, not knowing what to say.

Doug Smith used to be the Mavericks' backup fourth. The team at the bottom of the league also played a backup. It doesn't require much strength, but at least he has a correct attitude. But the rebound just now... If Malone came to play, He can beat Scott to death without the referee blowing his whistle. This is also the basis for him to be tough on people like Ewing and David Robinson.

But what did Smith do?

When defending with arms akimbo like a contractor on a horse, when it comes to grabbing rebounds, hand over the task to Li Shengli, and go directly to counterattack?

This is treating Li Shengli as a god!

Still don't take O'Neill as a human being?

But... why?

……

The Mavericks counterattacked.

The back-and-forth situation that was originally playing suddenly went wrong. First of all, Crotty's side... Hardaway's offense is indeed a bit afraid of Crotty, but as long as the attitude is correct, the defense will not make big mistakes. Even shifted the center of gravity to Curry to relax Crotty a little.

As for the inside... Li Shengli was also taken care of, O'Neal and Scott double-teamed, and small forward Donald also wandered between the ball and Li Shengli to block the passing path.

It's okay to be targeted.

Because the Magic's defense leaked the Mavericks' No. [-] Jones and No. [-] Smith, of course Crotty was not stupid. First, he pretended to make a pass and put Magic small forward Donald on the line between him and Li Shengli. Immediately afterwards, he distributed the ball to his own small forward Jones on the weak side.

This kind of processing is very simple, what is tested is only the player's instant judgment on the spot!

Crotty did nothing wrong. As for Jones, maybe he misjudged Crotty's pass and went after Donald to the inside, but... how can the attacker chase the defender? !

So, Crotty sent a lonely message. Jones looked back and saw that the ball was out of bounds. With innocent eyes, he waved his hand... This ball is mine!

……

One Smith, one Jones!

Are these two real food, or are they playing us on purpose?

Curry and Crotty looked at each other helplessly, and Li Shengli touched his head, feeling that the problem was a bit serious.

In fact, the problem did arise.

The Magic's defense let go of the Mavericks' third and fourth positions as much as possible, forcing the Mavericks' offensive center of gravity to shift. Although Smith and Jones can also score a few goals, the key is that the efficiency is not good, at least they cannot catch up with the Magic. s efficiency.

Even though Li Shengli chased after O'Neal as much as possible, Scott still couldn't deal with it, because Smith... you say he is distracted, he doesn't look like him, and he is very active. You say his attitude is not correct, and the defense also depends. It was quite hard to stand up, but Scott couldn't hold down the horse.

Li Shengli's defense was completely disintegrated. No one could stop Scott and O'Neal, but if he defended O'Neal, Scott would still smash Smith. Even if he ran desperately at both ends in a certain round, the Magic still had Hada on the outside. The brothers Wei and Nixon opened fire.

……

This is changing!

The lead that the Mavericks played was gone, and even was overtaken by 5 points in the half quarter. Dick Motta called a timeout and cursed to replace Jones and Smith, but the 5 points behind was already finalized.

In the view of Magic head coach Hill, there is no reason not to continue to use effective tactical arrangements!

As a result, the Magic's defense became even more excited. Even though Li Shengli bit the bullet and stormed the basket in the second half, no one could believe that... O'Neal defended Li Shengli's back hit, and even had time to slap Li Shengli's ass. He was not afraid of Li Shengli's back turn at all. Mid-range shots or raids to the rim, because Scott is always hanging by his side.

For Li Shengli, the only good news is that the small forward was replaced by David Wingate, a former Hornets teammate, who took on part of the firepower output, and the substitute power forward Terry Davis who replaced Smith was still not good. .

……

What is the difference between a player and a star?

physical fitness?

This excludes super giants with top-level strength, and people under the same position as super giants, everyone is not bad, neither too strong nor too weak, there is no watershed here.

Talent, technology?

To be honest, being able to enter the NBA also proves that everyone's strength is not good, and hard work can also make up for congenital deficiencies to a certain extent. There are differences but not fatal.

The most important thing is the state of mind!

The psychological quality of the star is definitely strong enough to withstand the pressure. To put it bluntly, the player and the star stand together, and the aura is not the same thing. Take the villain star, Bill Lambiel as an example...

A white center with a second-rate body, he can't jump high, he can't run fast, he's really rubbish, he can't even talk about the innate conditions of body and talent, but his mentality is not comparable to that of ordinary people... If there are backcourt players charging towards the basket, You let him try and see if Ranbir can depose him?

Of course, this does not require everyone to be like Lambiel, but Lambiel's attitude is worth learning for many people, just like the honest people in this society are always bullied, but the bad guys live very well.

Arm yourself with attitude, even if the talent is not good, we still have defense; even if the defense depends on the body, we can stand out among players of the same level, and we will not always sit on the bench; even if the confrontation on the court is not necessarily so simple, We have to fight anyway, right?

If you don't have fighting spirit, then you are a salted fish.

Going back to Smith in this game, his height and tonnage are not inferior to Scott. Maybe he sits too much on the bench, so he doesn’t regard himself as a role. Makes Scott drink a jug, too.

However, everyone saw it in the end...Smith was not sleepwalking, it wasn't a problem with his competitive status, it was simply that he was not mentally prepared to play the main starter, and almost subconsciously spent all his time playing as garbage time. After all, he Used to do this job.
