NBA restricted area bulldozer

Chapter 399 Sorry, I want to win this game

Fans in Salt Lake City have an almost paranoid enthusiasm for NBA games, which was most vividly displayed before the game started. Every fan who walked into the arena gave applause and cheers, not only for the Jazz of the home team, but also for the Mavericks of the visiting team , because there is the super center Li Shengli who once played for the Jazz in the heyday of history and helped the championshipless team reach the top twice.

Even if they meet again and become opponents, there is no way to stop the fanatical pursuit of Li Shengli by the diehard fans who have witnessed the glory of the Jazz, and it is rare that the visiting team is welcomed more enthusiastically than the home team on the court.

……

"Cough... Li, why do I feel like I'm playing in Dallas? This is your home stadium!" The two sides shook hands at the debut ceremony. Ma Long couldn't believe that his fans would betray him?

"Fight well, Li, no matter we win or lose, we will still regard you as our teammate!" Ma Long was a bit out of touch, but the older Stockton was still serious, and he could feel the sincerity when he spoke.

"Thank you, brother!" Li Shengli smiled at Stockton, and then said immediately, "I'm sorry, old man, this game...I want to win!"

you want to win?

If you want to win, you can win, you, why?

Stockton and Ma Long looked at Li Shengli who was serious and smiled at each other, and Ma Long said, "Li, do you know what the old man said about you?"

"About me? How do you say it?"

"Haha, the old man said that you are now a captive tiger trapped in a cage. It looks fierce, but it can't bite anyone. The calf didn't give you food. The only thing he gave you was an iron cage. "

I don't know what Ma Long said is true or not, but Li Shengli believes that Jerry Sloan, an upright old man, would definitely not talk like that. ... Ma Long, he is afraid!

"I don't believe what you said, and, you can't stop me!"

"You're kidding, but it's okay, I can't wait to start the game, nothing makes me more excited than beating up my former teammates, hahaha, come on, Li, my big baby won't just because the opponent is You stopped it."

"Coincidentally, I thought so too, because I also have a big baby for you!"

……

big baby?

You two, are you two planning to take off your pants and throw each other to death?

Hearing this kind of conversation full of affection, the players on both sides of the Mavericks and the Jazz were a little uneasy. Although the last sentence was a joke, everyone is clear, and the next one is likely to be... The peak elbow fight between Li Dazhuo and Ma Dazhuo of the alliance!

This shows that the army and horse are ready to fight?

The fact is true, confrontation has nothing to do with friendship, and the style that should be maintained must be maintained. Li Shengli and Ma Long have the same idea. The team hit the playoffs first to test the Mavericks' combat power.

……

A whistle blows, and the game starts immediately.

Jazz starting lineup, center Felton - Spencer, power forward Karl - Malone, small forward David - Benoit, point guard John - Stockton, shooting guard Jim - Jackson.

In the starting lineup, Jim Jackson was the bargaining chip that the Mavericks took out to trade Li Shengli, and he played quite well when he moved to the Jazz. When the inside firepower was frustrated, the outside firepower was supplemented, which also made Stockton's sudden score One more stable target.

Mavericks starting lineup, center Li Shengli, power forward John McLeod, small forward Poopeye Jones, point guard Jason Kidd, shooting guard Dell Curry.

compared to Jazz.

Inside, McLeod is a bit behind Felton, so he doesn't have an overall advantage; outside, the Kidd+Curry combination is also at a disadvantage compared to Stockton+Jackson. Can't get back the overall disadvantage.

If the strong beat the weak, they will definitely win, and if the weak beat the strong, they will definitely lose?

Li Shengli really doesn't believe this, because if this is the case, the game will look boring and meaningless, but in fact...variables, big or small, exist in every corner, affecting the overall trend, and the outcome is definitely not absolute , what Li Shengli has to do is to tear the Jazz's inside line first and lay the groundwork for victory.

……

With a jump ball in midfield, Li Shengli took the lead and accurately allocated the ball to Kidd. The Mavericks' first offense in the entire series started, and both Li Shengli and Kidd knew very well how to play.

"Kid!"

"Have!"

Li Shengli shouted at the beginning, and Kidd responded in a timely manner, while Felton, who was facing up, was dumbfounded. He originally wanted to find a confrontation. Even if he couldn't suppress the former boss in all directions, it was still possible to delay the offensive and wait for support. However... Li Shengli went straight to the penalty area, took off directly in front of him, and completed an alley-oop dunk with Kidd.

Air pick-up?

What kind of stupid trick is this?

As soon as the game started, Ma Long and Stockton were fascinated by watching, and even their hearts suddenly tightened, and they frowned unconsciously.

You must know that the alley-oop is a very performative scoring method, but this game requires high requirements, not only the physical fitness of the passing and receiving players, but also on-the-spot experience, and slight mistakes will turn the performance into a laughing stock. Either the relay player can't catch the ball and misses the ball, or the passing player is in a bad position, embarrassing the coordinator.

But when it comes to requirements, the outside point guards are top-level passers and top-level vision, and the relay inside players are good at flying and jumping, grasping the timing, and there are only three coordination modes for alley-oops, air cuts, pick-and-rolls and fast break.

But just now... Li Shengli's stepping on the horse was an alley-oop completed abruptly in front of Felton. It was not at all the previous three modes, and the conditions for success were extremely harsh.

……

Offensive and defensive easy side.

Malone and Stockton didn't have time to think about it, and then returned to the Jazz's offense, and this ball was a classic pick-and-roll cooperation between Malone and Stockton. Stockton attracted McLeod's supplementary defense, and Malone shot easily. hit.

But when the ball returns to the Mavericks.

Jones followed up with Benoit in the bottom corner, Curry followed up with Jackson at the top of the arc, Kidd interspersed with Stockton in the three-point line to follow up, and even McLeod pulled Malone to run wildly on the other side of Li Shengli. Created a one-on-one opportunity in the penalty area.

"Kid!"

"and also!"

With another shout, Kidd crossed Stockton with another lob, and Li Shengli kicked Felton away with explosive power, and took off again. Even though Felton resisted fiercely, Li Shengli couldn't hold back. With his amazing wingspan, he grabs the ball with both hands and smashes it into the basket.

Another free call?

Still stepping on the horse is a forced empty pick?

This kind of offense is too simple and rough, but the whole Mavericks team is playing for Li Shengli and Kidd. The distance is quite exaggerated, basically near the three-point line, leaving the Jazz with no manpower to join the inside. Go on the defensive.

……

Mavericks head coach Gordon was so excited that he couldn't add more excitement, while Jerry Sloan on the other side bit the bullet and didn't call a timeout. After all, the game had just started, and two goals were not enough to mess up the Jazz, the king of the game.

The truth is true, but Jerry Sloan never expected that the Mavericks were desperate to play forced lobs, and in the opening 3 minutes...the cooperation between Li Shengli and Kidd was all lobs without exception. , hit 4 times, every time must hit, not to mention the collapse of Felton, Jerry Sloan wanted to cry.

Damn, this pervert is getting more and more perverted?

While cursing Li Shengli for being abnormal, Jerry Sloan thought more about the physical condition of Li Shengli, a former general under him.

Among other things, if this rough offensive mode is followed by the Mavericks, the horror is horror, violence and entertainment are also excellent, but Kidd has nothing to do with aerial work for many years, and Li Shengli will suffer, because this brutal attack The law puts too much load on the body, and the knees and ankles are like parts of a car, and the more they are used, the more they wear out.

This is not the way to win, is it?

Jerry Sloan finally couldn't sit still and called a timeout. The [-] home audience were also shocked, immersed in Li Shengli's violent aesthetics.

"This is the tactic the Mavericks are preparing for the playoffs? Damn, why do I feel that apart from the center-core team, no team can compete with this style of play?"

"It's ridiculous, really, this is ridiculous. Isn't Seattle the city of lobs? Isn't the combination of Kemp and Payton the lobs? How come Dallas also joined the city of lobs?"

"No, no, no, Lee and Kidd are much better than Kemp and Payton. The Sonics play air cuts and fast-break lobs, but you don't look at what the Mavericks are doing. Damn... it's just not Felton is a man, he abandoned all unnecessary offensive moves, everyone is clearing the way for Lee and Kidd, our Jazz is a little bit hanging!"

"No, this kind of offense is too rough, and the grasp of opportunities is very harsh. As long as our inside can form a double-team, this tactic will be invalidated and the game will return to the normal track."

"But the problem is...the Mavericks' fourth position is implicating Malone. As for the Mavericks' offensive position, I'm not bragging about them. The inside double team may be their trap. We all know Li, his honor He has already made him not care about the scoring data, and we have no choice but to assign the Mavericks' strong side to our weak side."

"What the hell, as long as you can, why don't you become the head coach? Jerry Sloan must have a way, and the game has just begun."

"Seriously, I don't care about winning or losing the game now, I want to continue watching their alley-oop performance, it's amazing and violent."

"Yeah, I'm the same. I even think the strongest lineup in the NBA is probably like this. Two Lees + three Kidds. This is simply an alien team. The inside tyrant cooperates with the outside pass master. It's never been this simple and violent."
