NBA restricted area bulldozer

Chapter 473

So far in the playoffs, only the final battle is left.

In the Western Conference Finals, it was not a fluke for the Mavericks to win, because even if Robinson was not injured, the Mavericks still had the inside advantage. On the other hand, in the Eastern Conference Finals... the Magic died tragically at their own door, and their heads were shaved by the Bulls 4:0. In the first game, he was led by 38 points and the game ended, and then he was crushed and beaten all the way.

Magic playing the Bulls?

The inside advantage is certain, and the outside disadvantage is also certain, but...the game has never been so clear-cut, and the Bulls have an All-Star-level functional player Rodman, who has reduced the Magic's inside advantage. Jordan outside can't help it.

I expected to lose, but I didn't expect it to be so miserable.

Both Li Shengli and O'Neill had the same idea, and O'Neill cried bitterly after the game... It's not that our army is incompetent, but that the enemy army is too cunning!

One person can't hold Jordan down, two people are enough, three people play and the ball is diverted, it is a dead end, and more importantly, defending Jordan alone is still a dead end, this person is simply a bug in the game.

……

To be honest, the offensive super giant is strong in singles, and only when the team moves and has no chance to cooperate can the super giant's unsolvable singles function be reflected at this time.

In Bulls, yes.

The so-called triangle offense, in the vernacular, is...Jordan is the starting point of the offense. If the opponent does not come to double-team, he will shoot. efficient.

Turning your head, it's the same in the Mavericks.

Li Shengli's role in the interior is the same as that of Jordan. When he goes down to the deep position, he will also force the opponent to double-team. Most of them are on Garnett, who is good at shooting, and it is more difficult to score the ball inside than the Bulls.

In such a comparison, it seems that the Mavericks are at a disadvantage, but what you need to know is that the advantage of the inside line is not only offensive, but also can suppress opponents on the defensive end and rebounding data. In this finals, the specific case of the Mavericks playing the Bulls superior……

For the Bulls, Rodman, a rebounding monster, may slow down Li Shengli's establishment of an advantage to a certain extent; conversely, Garnett's large-area defense can also limit Jordan's breakthrough to a certain extent and reduce efficiency.

Of course, the game is not played by four people.

It can only be said that the strategic significance of these four people is greater, but we must not forget that the Bulls also have Pippin Pippin, and the Mavericks also have Kidd, Curry, Crotty and others.

If you insist on who is more likely to win or win, in fact, the Bulls are generally recognized throughout the league.

As for the Mavericks... The lesson learned from the past is the Magic. The young guards lost because of their youth, and what can be seen is that the Mavericks' lineup is even younger than the Magic.

Garnett in the first grade and Kidd in the second grade hugged Li Shengli's thigh tightly, but they didn't know if they could withstand the strong wind in Chicago.

But in any case, the Mavericks' performance this season is enough to make people look sideways.

The last time in the Western Conference Finals was 8 years ago, when he was kicked out by the Lakers. This time he jumped to the stage of the finals in one fell swoop, which is definitely a historic breakthrough for the Dallas Mavericks. Li Shengli entered the league for the third time after a season. The pinnacle of the battle made the Dallasites who were waiting for the decisive battle extremely excited.

……

6 month 5 number.

The Mavericks arrived in Chicago to prepare for the finals. On the afternoon of their arrival, they held a routine press conference in accordance with the official requirements. You must know that the finals are coming, and the officials also need to create heat and pave the way for the game. In Stern's mind... the Bulls, Lakers, Celtics, and Knicks are the best teams to play in the finals. These high-yield markets are the best. However, the Mavericks are located in the key node of Dallas, and it is also beneficial to play a dozen games. The development of the fan market is at least better than that ghostly place in Salt Lake City where no grass grows.

Based on this, the various departments under Stern have spared no effort. Although the focus is still on the Bulls and Jordan, this time the Mavericks and Li Shengli have also obtained part of the media resources, and the so-called resources are all major media. Overwhelming reports, coupled with a few celebrities and celebrities talking about it indiscriminately.

However, at this point, Li Shengli has a natural advantage. As soon as the official side opened the gate, the situation suddenly rose on the eve of the finals, because there were not a few celebrities and bigwigs who "bragged about Li" in the league.

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar pulled the famous Lakers star Hai Chuan to talk about it. Everyone can guess this, but what they didn't expect was... On the eve of the war, the famous stars of the Green Kai family also spoke collectively. The time is closer. Larry Bird, the king of pretentiousness, and Russell, the king of the ring a little further away, are interspersed with the major disciples of Cardinal Auerbach.

Although it is strange that the two camps of yellow and green speak at the same time, but it doesn’t cost money to say good things, and it’s over, and it coincides with the expiration of Li Shengli’s contract. , after all... Before the Mavericks confirmed their qualifications for the finals, O'Neal, who was also waiting to renew his contract, was blown away by the bosses on both sides.

In fact, back and forth, those who boast about Li and Austria are a group of people.

The two camps merged into one, and they worked harder on the eve of the finals. On the other side, the teams lacking insiders were independent from the two camps of yellow and green. Over time, the team gradually grew, and in the end, Stern didn't even expect... Li Shengli, who was preparing for the battle in Chicago, joined O'Neal, who was retreating in the Windy City, and turned against the guest?

The genius twin stars that meet once in ten years!

The once-in-a-century shark wins the duo!

Under the overwhelming reports, even Stern didn't know what went wrong behind it, and he couldn't control the direction of public opinion. At a small level, it was because the official public relations ability was not good, and at a bigger level, it was an inability to integrate resources, choose Sex making superstar.

……

"Tell me, what's going on this time?" In the official headquarters in New York, Stern was in a meeting. Although the media trends before the game were not enough to affect the interests of the league, they were beyond the control and the Sharks won. Jordan's limelight also gave him a headache.

"It's not clear yet, but in Boston, Auerbach has been active recently."

"Auerbach, why is it him again?" Stern felt a headache when he heard this name, not because of his seniority, but because of the old man's deep-rooted number one thorn in the alliance, "Forget it, whatever That's all, as long as the public opinion does not involve the interests of the alliance, let him play for himself first, but... At this point in time, does Auerbach want O'Neal or Lee?"

"It seems like we can't interfere?"

"No, don't interfere. The current game is the team's own business. The team that is willing to pay the money and the market will definitely not be small. The team that is not willing to pay the money is not worth much, so no matter what the result is, it is right. Alliances are beneficial, and I'd love to see both."

The ass decides the head, and Stern naturally puts the interests of the league first in his thinking, "But to be honest, Auerbach wants the Celtics to revive, this is indeed the best opportunity, and the same is true for the Lakers. A good result is that both sides can gain, and our principle is... as long as there is no foul or the interests of the alliance, don't interfere with them and let them play by themselves."
