NBA restricted area bulldozer

Chapter 472

No one can avoid injuries.

Although after the third game... the Spurs did not take the initiative to mention the health of Robinson and the main players, but the problem is that everyone is not stupid, and the news that Robinson may be seriously injured instantly swept the major media.

A string that is too tight will break.

Because of the Mavericks' Li Shengli + Garnett's inside combination, the Spurs can only let Robinson stand up and hold on, but the playing time in each game is seriously exceeded and there is no rotation. This directly makes Robinson not too serious. The back injury worsened further.

More importantly... With the current score of 1:2, the Spurs are not in a desperate situation, and Robinson doesn't even have the right to choose to rest, and has to die.

……

Game [-], Mavericks at home.

Li Shengli was not too worried about the Spurs' resistance, and he played well with Garnett, but Li Shengli suddenly discovered... Robinson took the initiative to increase the confrontation in this game, including but not limited to offense and defense at the basket and rebounding with Li Shengli .

Admiral Robinson is risking his life?

In fact, the Mavericks have considered this situation, because the Spurs have not reached a desperate situation, and it is natural to counterattack, and Robinson was originally weak in the fight due to a back injury, and now he is desperate. After upgrading, the reward for the Spurs was that they led the Mavericks by 4 points in the first half of the G5 game.

It was not terrible to lead in the first half, but what the terrible Mavericks saw here was not optimistic.

You know, Garnett's shots at this stage largely rely on Li Shengli's going deep to give the opponent a huge threat to the penalty area, and then using his height and flexibility to hit a wide jumper. No one can make up for his shot. But Robinson was so desperate, Charles didn't have to worry about the fight at the basket, and just stared at Garnett.

So... Li Shengli's mid-range shot was weak and he was slightly blocked at the basket, and so was Garnett, who was dependent on blessings and misfortunes.

Although the reason for the defeat has never been determined by one or two factors, the Mavericks' outside performance is not outstanding. Only Kidd can always play a stable organizational role, and the overall offense and defense are slightly below the normal level. Trailing by 5 points at halftime was no surprise.

……

The Spurs want to win, and the Mavericks don't want to lose.

So in the second half, Li Shengli insisted on keeping Robinson out of the game.

Because the two sides are the same, there will be problems with whoever plays and whoever plays inside. In addition, the score gap is not that big, so the two head coaches are unwilling to play their own core centers. On the other hand, the rotation of other positions is relatively normal.

As far as the Mavericks are concerned, if they want to win the fourth game, they must play the suppressive force of the inside, instead of giving hope to the periphery who has been assisting the offense, so Li Shengli also gritted his teeth and became ruthless... simply running When unable to get rid of Robinson, most of the offense was used to play back from the wing to the penalty area, and the defensive end was even closer to Robinson and confronted toughly.

Every effort on the body is a burden. Li Shengli's shoulder injury only affects the mid-range shot, but Robinson's back injury is even more fatal. After confrontation after confrontation, Robinson finally started the third quarter after 4 minutes and a turnaround jumper. He squatted halfway on the floor, scolding his mother in pain, and was dragged out of the field by his teammates.

Therefore, the game began to change the direction of the wind from this time.

Will Perdo, who replaced Robinson, is not that good, but the problem is that there is no difference between very good and ordinary food in front of Li Shengli, and the inside line of the Spurs has been completely abolished since Robinson left, and the Mavericks have followed suit. .

The impact of Robinson's departure is comprehensive, not only the momentum of the Spurs, but also quite deadly on both ends of the offense and defense. In the third quarter, the Spurs... went from leading by 5 points before the start to falling all the way, and fell behind by 6 points after the game.

The third quarter collapsed, and the fourth quarter was not much better. The Mavericks played an 8:2 offensive climax. The 8 points were all due to Li Shengli's strong attack on the Spurs center Perdo. The total lead was 12 points, allowing the Mavericks The sound of boiling at home is endless, but for the Spurs...if they still lose this game, it will be 1:3 and the Mavericks will seize the match point.

A little hope amidst the Spurs' despair?

The inhumane thing is... 4 minutes into the fourth quarter, Robinson stepped on his horse and was sent back to the court to die with illness. Even the Mavericks fans at home spontaneously applauded this guy's spirit. Li Shengli also No exception, the only embarrassing thing is that Robinson just sat on the floor this time after hitting for just over a minute. The pain was probably unbearable, so he simply lay down on his back to relieve the pressure on his back.

To be honest, Robinson's 1 minute has no effect on the Spurs' erosion situation.

On the Mavericks' side, after Robinson retired for the second time, Li Shengli played only one round and was replaced by Gordon, and the calm at the end of the G1 game was a little restless.

In the end, the Mavericks led by 9 points and made another victory to seize the match point. If they win one more game, they will get a ticket to the finals. General Robinson's injury and another injury are like the Spurs' cold winter in the hot summer at the end of May.

……

At this point, the situation in the Western Conference Finals is too clear.

Whether Robinson, the core core of the Spurs, can play in the fifth game is a question. Even if he can play, and his injury affects his state, he may not be able to play against the Mavericks. In fact... After returning to San Antonio, the Spurs VS Mavericks are fifth in the Western Conference Finals In the game, Robinson did not appear in the starting list.

Robinson doesn't start, which is understandable.

However, in the first half of the game, Li Shengli led Garnett to step on the inside of the Spurs to score points and defend, and Hill was so angry that he had to send Robinson back to the front line. He was relieved that Robinson made a comeback. , maintained the tough confrontation with Li Shengli in the fourth game, and successfully stabilized the situation.

FireWire comeback? !

This is very abnormal!

Because Robinson didn't explode in the first three games and avoided confrontation, he couldn't hold back in the fourth game when he was behind by a big score.

It can be understood that his back injury has gradually escalated after four consecutive games, but the second half of the fifth game suddenly broke out again. This is completely unreasonable. After all, back injuries are not hemorrhoids. It's only been two days, it's impossible to recover so quickly.

Could it be... a sealing injection?

Thinking of this only explanation, Li Shengli felt more and more that Robinson was risking his life. After all, everyone knows how harmful it is to break the seal. The injury is still there, but the more the beating continues, the more serious the injury will be.

But the problem is that this is only G5, there is not much need, but if this round of the series is really going to be a tiebreaker, according to Robinson's situation, can he still play closed games?Doesn't that mean self-sabotage?

……

On the Spurs side, I don't know if it was Robinson himself or whoever's idea, but in Li Shengli's opinion... Robinson can't play anymore.

The Mavericks must end the Spurs with a big score of 4:1, and cannot play the sixth or seventh game, otherwise Robinson will really be scrapped if he plays again.

This is not because Li Shengli is worried about Robinson, an opponent at the same level, but on the way to the finals. The Spurs, like Robinson, do not have much need to resist, so... Li Shengli found a chance to talk to Garnett , I broke out all the confrontation with the strong and tough Robinson, posing a threat to the basket, and Garnett was like a fish in water, hitting top scoring data with an explosive touch.

On the other hand, Robinson, the effect of the closed injection is time-limited, and the effect also has peaks and valleys. After two quarters and the end of the game, the Spurs still trailed by 103 points at 93:10. They lost G5 and the Western Conference Finals .

……

"Li, congratulations." As the effect of the medicine weakened, the wave of pain covered by the seal burst instantly. Robinson said congratulations, but his gnashing of teeth looked more like a curse.

"Are you sure you think so?" Li Shengli shook Robinson's hand with his right hand, and patted Robinson's shoulder with his left hand. "Okay, hurry back and rest well. The finals are our time for the Mavericks."

"Then it's too early for you to be happy. Look at the Magic and Shaq. They have been swept away by the Bulls. How many games can you last?" Now, he always had an uncontrollable feeling of schadenfreude, and he couldn't help laughing out loud, "I don't tell you how strong the current Bulls are. Let's not say that your perimeter is two levels behind the Bulls. You I think you and Skunk are much better than the combination of Shaq and Grant, they can't consume Jordan, can you do it?"

"Smelly mouth?"

"Kevin Garnett!"

Robinson was outspoken, but Li Shengli did not agree with this point, "Okay, there is nothing wrong with him, and he has changed a lot, so stop talking nonsense in front of me."

"He will change? I hope!" Robinson glanced at Garnett, who was having fun on the court, and changed the topic, "To be honest, although this kid has a bad mouth, he is really good at fighting. It's a pity that Charles also has injuries on his body. , Otherwise, you may not be able to win. So believe it or not, you beat me and only won one Garnett, and I personally express my dissatisfaction."

Dissatisfied?

Even if you don't agree, bear with me!

Even if you lose, you are still talking about it, how shameless is this?

Li Shengli held his breath, turned around and left, but Robinson didn't hear the rebuttal, and hurriedly shouted, "Hey, aren't you going to say something?"

"Say a fart, damn it, there will be a day when you will obey!" Li Shengli waved back without turning his head.

"#@￥%&￥*, what's your attitude?" Robinson breathed out angrily, "Okay, just wait for me, don't let me find a chance, when I have someone, I'll call you Shi Come out, I swear, oh, swear!"

Li Shengli went far away and didn't hear it, but the Spurs players heard it clearly, and Robinson, a high-quality handsome man who played the piano and saxophone, pointed at Li Shengli and cursed, losing his demeanor.

Beat Li Shengli out?

Vulgar, vulgar!

However, a few people also felt that Robinson's scolding was enjoyable, and this will be a goal of the Spurs in the future, tied with the goal of the championship, but...they hope that the 'nearest' Bulls can do this first.
