NBA restricted area bulldozer

Chapter 457

The first day of the playoffs is over.

The Mavericks went ahead first. Li Shengli's overall statistics were 29 points, 9 rebounds, 3 blocks, 2 assists, and 1 steal. Most of the statistics were obtained in the first half, and he only scored 3 point in the last 1 minutes of the second half. 1 rebound, but this statistic is not bad, but... 27 minutes of playing time is a bit short.

This kind of playing time is nothing in the regular season, but it is a bit strange in the playoffs. After all, no matter how healthy the super giant players are, they will not raise them in the playoffs. The reason is... Li Shengli's shoulder injury does exist.

So along with this news, there is a lot of excitement in the West, especially the Sonics, which ranks first in the regular season, because their opponents who will advance to the second round will be one of the Lakers and Mavericks.

The Sonics are not afraid of beating the Lakers. After all, the Lakers are not what they used to be. They would be a little more afraid of beating the Mavericks, but the news of Li Shengli's shoulder injury and the embarrassing mid-range shot are great news for the Sonics.

But it's too early to talk about that.

The Mavericks and the Lakers, the Sonics and the Suns, it is unknown who will advance, and the next game in the first round...

……

Played the first game on the 25th, and the Mavericks won by 12 points.

Playing the second game on the 27th, Del’s arrangement is indeed effective. The rotation of Divac and Campbell alone limits Li Shengli, who lacks mid-range shots, to a certain extent. After all, he does not prevent jump shots and is just pure confrontation. And the magician was placed at the fourth position, and Garnett turned off as expected.

The Mavericks' top data is Li Shengli with 22 points, 10 rebounds, and 6 blocks. The Lakers turned out to be a magician with 25 points, 15 rebounds, and 4 assists. It's terrible, Garnett only has 15 in this stat, and he doesn't want to get stuck with the magician at all.

In the final second game, the Lakers beat the Mavericks by 18 points, and the total score became 1:1.

On the 30th, the third game was played. This game returned to the Reunion Stadium in Dallas. The Mavericks urgently adjusted their tactics and transferred their firepower to Curry on the outside. A narrow lead of 2 points won the third game.

In this game, not to mention mid-range shots, Li Shengli's shots have been reduced a lot. After all, the task of the Lakers' center position is to defend the basket. Coupled with the magician in the fourth position, there are not many opportunities for shots close to the basket, unless it is The running position ran out of opportunities, and the overall statistics were 18 points, 15 rebounds, 5 blocks, and 4 assists.

……

The big score was 1:2, and the Mavericks were only one game away from advancing under the 5-game system.

The fourth game played by No. 2 was different from the previous three games. In this game, Garnett finally became a big player and took over the burden of scoring. He made 14 of 11 mid-range jumpers and hit the basket. Even lower than the mid-range, he hit 5 of 2, but all 4 free throws were made, and the total score was 30. In addition, he had to bite the bullet and the magician just rebounded, so the rebound data also reached 11.

At the same time, what Li Shengli reduced was shots, but the output of other functions is still there, and it is amazing. Del wants to cry with only the basket guard, and scored 18 points + 22 rebounds + 6 caps + 4 assists. In the end, the Mavericks won the fourth game with a score of 108:103 and advanced to the second round with a big score of 3:1.

……

In terms of strength on paper alone, the Lakers are a bit lacklustre, and the effect can be seen even if Garnett has been sluggish for three games, but the Lakers still can't do it...Because it doesn't matter if Li Shengli takes fewer shots, Curry, Garnett can share the tasks, and leaving aside the offense, it is the Mavericks' all-round, land-and-air blockade defense that really brings down the Lakers.

Li Shengli played the center position of the Lakers. After four games, all the rotation players at the center position were added. The scoring data was not as good as Li Shengli, who had reduced his shots.

Crotty single-handedly defends a scoring point. Opponents who have a breakthrough have to be careful not to step into Garnett's exaggerated defense area. Even if they break through these two lines of defense...going forward is Li Shengli's no-fly zone. The probability of being interfered with on-the-spot shots is quite high, and the Lakers have not had any offensive climax in the four games.

……

Until June 5th.

The first round of the Eastern and Western Conferences is all over. The Western Conference advances to the Supersonics, Spurs, Rockets, and Mavericks, all of which advance 3:1, while the Eastern Conference advances to the Bulls, Magic, Eagles, and Knicks. Except for the Eagles, All advanced 3:0.

Eight teams and five cores!

Five of the six major centers advanced, and the most embarrassing one was the Heat, the eighth in the East, whose head was shaved 3:0 by the Bulls in the first round. Mourning became the first one out of the six majors.

For the Bulls, Jordan + Pippen averaged nearly 50 points per game in three games, plus a functional Rodman, averaging 13 rebounds per game, causing the Heat to lose 23 points per game, and Mourning was completely beaten. Baldy.

The Heat were a bit miserable, but the Magic, which swept the promotion, was a little happy, because the second regular season ranking in the Eastern Conference saved them from having to face the terrifying Bulls in the second round. This task was handed over to the Knicks.

Compared with Mourning, Ewing's situation is much better. It is a bit miserable to meet the Bulls, but in the West... the Spurs and the Rockets are fighting first, which means that in the second round, one of Olajuwon and Robinson is bound to win He was out, and even if he himself was out, Hao Lai would have an unlucky guy to accompany him.

……

The opponent for the second round has been determined. When preparing for the game, O'Neill called to express condolences to Li Shengli.

"Li, our Mourning is falling behind, hahaha!"

"You are poisonous, Shaq, are you so happy that Mourning is behind?"

"Of course, if you fall behind, I will be happier, so you will all be novices under me!" O'Neill said excitedly, "Hey, I played against the Eagles in the second round, and I probably swept them, but especially Because they are playing the Bulls, it is estimated that this guy will fall behind in the second round, plus Olajuwon and Robinson will lose one, and you will be beaten by the Supersonics. In this way... After all, I am at least the second in the league Center forward?"

"Damn it, then I wish you a second child for the rest of your life!"

"That won't work, maybe after the Supersonics kill you, they can kill another person for me, so that I will be the number one center forward." O'Neill finished his obsession and returned to the topic, "Really, your routine The ranking is too low. If you play against the Supersonics, I don’t think you have much hope. Besides... Li, you won’t really have a problem, right? Now everyone is spreading the news that your shoulder injury has recurred.”

"Shaq, you really want me to be okay, okay? I'm fine, don't keep talking about my injury!" Li Shengli was so angry that he cursed at the other end of the phone, "Okay, I'm fine, I have to hang up gone."

"Don't, don't, Li, be serious, I still want to play the finals with you, don't get knocked out by the Sonics, I'm serious."

"It's rare that you still know how to be serious?" Li Shengli turned his face and became serious. "Supersonic speed is not a big problem for us. You must have seen my Kevin. Kemp can't restrict me. I Even if you don’t make a mid-range shot, you can break their inside line.”

"I think so too. The Eagles are not a problem for us, so let's work harder and advance together. I still want to play with you in the finals."

"Coincidentally, I have wanted to beat you for a long time, but the problem now is that you may not be able to suppress Jordan. But don't worry, if you sacrifice, the Bulls will be handed over to us!"

sacrifice?

Why are you cursing me to sacrifice?

Why don't you say that Jordan died?

O'Neal said angrily, "Fart, you're only thinking about the finals in the second round? You're really arrogant."

"Oh shit, didn't you start it just now? You said you wanted to fight me..."

"If you don't listen, it's all farting, I'm going to hang up!"
