NBA restricted area bulldozer

Chapter 481 Spring in Dallas?

On the night of June 6th, the second game of the finals.

The Mavericks stepped into the United Center Arena again, and this time the starting lineup... Except for Li Shengli, Garnett, and Kidd, the Mavericks' youth version of the Big Three, Crotty and Jones replaced Curry and McLeod. On the other hand, the Bulls' starting position has not changed from the previous game, and they are still confident.

……

"Hey, Li, here we go again? Have you guys figured out a way to target me?"

"I don't think so, I don't want to think about it!"

"It's okay, don't think about it, the result is the same anyway, oh, by the way, I wish you a good time here, because today is your last away game."

During the warm-up before the game, Jordan ran a lap, came here specially to 'condolence', and then withdrew after speaking, and Li Shengli couldn't figure out how such a big-name guy could be so boring. Fortunately...the CIC has recovered in the past few days The training went well, and Gordon also came up with a plan, which added some variables to the game.

"Crotty, it's up to you to defend outside in a while." Without thinking about other things, Li Shengli cheered on his teammates.

"I know."

"Kevin, get hard on me, trash talk... open the gate and let the water out!"

"I'm waiting, I must take them down today."

"Okay, I'll wait to see you too. Kidd, send ammunition to Kevin and me. I'm going to blow them up today."

"At any time, I can't afford to lose."

"Okay, let's wait for the game to start, everyone work harder, I can't afford to lose."

"Chong Chong, the Mavericks will win!"

"The calf will win!"

……

The calf's labor chants flew up, while the bull's side...Jordan, Pippen, and Rodman touched their heads together, expressing that they had seen too many scenes of unnecessary resistance, and the Mavericks were no different .

So, after a whistle, the game officially started.

Li Shengli succeeded in jumping the ball, accurately dialed it to Kidd in the air, and the five Mavericks went straight to the frontcourt. The difference from the first game... Li Shengli did not ask for the ball immediately, and stood directly outside the penalty area on the left. It was Kidd who saw the opportunity and passed it to the running Garnett.

"I love your mom's Rodman!"

"Get out of here!"

Garnett roared, and Rodman was not to be outdone. He took off and blocked in a timely manner, and it was normal for Garnett to miss the first attack, but it was Li Shengli's side... who strongly beat Luke Longley, who had just rebounded. When he jumped out, he was intercepted in the air.

Li Shengli played a second offense at the basket?

Luke Longley is very clear about this scene, if he really needs to defend normally, Rodman can't hold back the pervert Lee Shengli, and Phil Jackson's request to him is very simple, that is, to actively foul at this time, don't worry at all The number of fouls, because the big backup fouls are waiting on the sidelines.

beep!

The offense drew a foul in the first round.

Li Shengli walked to the free throw line, and the Bulls booed at home, reaching the peak at the moment when the shot was about to be shot, but it was not very useful, the goal was scored, and the second goal also went into the basket, making two free throws .

……

It's not uncommon to hit two free throws.

Even though everyone knows that Li Shengli's mid-range shooting level has dropped due to injury this season, no matter how low he is, he still has 60% free throws and a 36% chance of making two free throws, so no one takes it seriously.

It's just that in the next few attacks of the Mavericks, Kidd sent Garnett to the surprise, and Garnett forced Rodman to shoot. It is true that the hit rate has dropped slightly, but the key is Garnett's shot position. It is always a medium-to-long distance. It is clearly given to Rodman to interfere, but not to block.

If you can hit it, you can hit it, if you can't hit it, Li Shengli will take over, and Li Shengli's side is almost pissed off by Luke Longley, but the accuracy of predicting the rebound is extremely high. Don't fall, take them all, and play a second offense.

And in this fast pace... Garnett took 5 shots in total and only made 2 of them. However, Li Shengli grabbed all the 3 missed rebounds, 3 second attacks, 1 successful shot and 2 hits. He got an active foul from Luke Longley for the first time and made 4 of 3 free throws.

That is to say, in each of the 5 offenses the Mavericks scored, they scored an astonishing 9 points. On the other hand, the Bulls were a little confused, and their efficiency was much lower than that of the Mavericks. The team only scored 4 points. Phil Jackson immediately called the first timeout of the game.

……

What's happening here?

With 3 rebounds in 4 minutes, 3 fronts and 1 back, what is Li Shengli playing, vegetable chicken or salted fish?

Li Shengli had 5 points and 4 rebounds; Garnett scored 5 of 2 and 4 points; Kidd didn't make a shot, but had 2 assists, and the whole routine of the Mavericks Big Three made Phil Jackson a little stunned.

……

To be honest, the game is bluntly divided into two parts: offense and defense.

No matter how the Mavericks change on the defensive end, they can't hold back the triangle offense. Gordon has been thinking about it for the past two days even sitting on the toilet. The plan he came up with was to fight the Bulls. When you reach a dead end, it is better to attack than to compare.

The changes on the Mavericks' defensive end are only fine-tuning, but the offensive end is a big move, and the offensive starting point falls on Garnett. The advantage of this is...

Garnett's shot is high enough, and Rodman has a hard time blocking shots. As long as the ball is shot smoothly, all offensive difficulties will be handed over to Li Shengli to deal with.

Li Shengli played Luke Longley, which was a real crush, more violent and straightforward than Jordan destroying the Mavericks outside.

Let Garnett take a wave of shots first, and let Li Shengli rule the penalty area if he doesn't make it, and play a second offense.

The prerequisite for this tactic has been completed by Garnett. After all, Rodman has to block his shot, and as long as Rodman takes off and blocks the block, without his involvement... In terms of rebounds, the Mavericks will It was tantamount to abolishing Rodman's rebounding function and breaking the double-team, allowing Li Shengli to easily beat Luke Longley, who couldn't even get stuck in his position.

Although Li Shengli grabbed 3 offensive rebounds strongly, this is the most ideal state, and this kind of super high efficiency may not be guaranteed later, but as long as he takes most of them, this kind of offensive efficiency is also terrible.

The only thing to consider at the moment is...Li Shengli's second attack will be fouled by the opponent actively, and the requirement of free throw percentage has been put on the front line.

Fortunately, looking at the performance of the two free throw lines in the opening game, Li Shengli's touch has indeed picked up, and from Kidd's start, to Garnett's shot, to Li Shengli's second attack, the cooperation of the three people also played the expected effect. In vain Gordon, the thinker on the toilet, made efforts.

……

"Okay, very good, Mavericks' opening is exciting enough!"

"That's right, shifting the first point of attack, the Bulls' inside line has no way to double-team Li Shengli, especially this Garnett's running shot also opened up Rodman, the Bulls' inside line was immediately empty, and Luke Longley was alone. I can't handle Li Shengli at all, there is something to play in this game."

"Yeah, Rodman can't hold rebounds anymore, and this Kidd is also a ruthless person. Look at his average rebounds. This... the guard can still reach 6.8. How did he grab it?"

"Let's not talk about Garnett and Kidd, Li Shengli's statistics are what startled me, 3 points and 5 rebounds in 4 minutes, what kind of statistics do you have to play to play the whole game?"

In the live broadcast room, the three major hosts did not hesitate to praise, but... Although the opening was amazing, it was still a little short compared to the time of the whole game. What really depends on the next rhythm is whether it can continue to maintain this offensive.

……

The timeout is over and continue to return to the field.

The Bulls played an offense, maybe the Big Three of the Mavericks were too eye-catching, so no one cared... In fact, the Mavericks also adjusted their defense in this game.

Crotty had the experience of the previous game, and crammed to review Stanley's big move and Payton's defense. Although the effect of single defense can't be regarded as suppression, it can be enough to cooperate with Kidd. Look, it's not the three-team mode in the previous game.

In doing so, although the effect of suppressing Jordan is slightly weakened, the defensive tasks of Li Shengli and Garnett are greatly reduced. Li Shengli sits in the penalty area, Luke Longley first cuts in half, Pippen has Jones watching, Rodman It's not a big problem if they are stocked. Garnett can also take care of Harper in the bottom corner, and this Harper is also a position that the Mavericks took the initiative to release.

And this time...

Jordan faced Crotty, and Kidd was forced to pass the ball. Harper, who received the ball, wanted to make a shot, but Garnett's defensive interference also arrived, making the Bulls hit the ball, and the rebound landed outside the penalty area. , was captured by Kidd nearby.

One time cannot represent all.

In the next Bulls attack, Jordan saw that his teammates were powerless, so he directly chose singles. Although the one-on-two guaranteed an amazing over half of the hits, the problem was... this efficiency still couldn't catch up with the crazy Mavericks.

The entire first quarter.

Garnett made 10 of 4 shots and only scored 8 points, which is not too much; while Kidd had 5 assists, although he also had shots, but he did not account for the majority, and only 3 points were accounted for; on the contrary, everyone looked at Li Shengli The data, I feel blind... A double-double data of 20 points + 13 boards in a single quarter.

20 points in a single quarter is enough. At the same time, there are 13 rebounds in a single quarter. No one can believe that this kind of data is actually played in the finals. Looking at the entire Mavericks team... the youthful Big Three took At 31 points, including 6 points from Jones and 2 points from Crotty, the score in the first quarter was 39:27, with a huge lead of 12 points in the first quarter, successfully blowing up the United Center.

……

During the break, the Bulls' rest area was a little restless, and they lost their confidence in the past, because this kind of situation has never happened to the Bulls in this playoffs. Instead, Jordan and coach Phil Jackson glanced at each other.

"Their resistance seems to be very fierce, and Lee's free throws have also picked up." Jordan wiped his sweat.

"Although this situation exceeded my expectations, it...is useless!" Phil Jackson squeezed his chin, "The tactics are very good, and now it depends on whether Gordon has prepared a backup plan. If not, what will happen?" One game is still ours, they can't take it away."

"So confident? But you have a way, why didn't you use it earlier?"

"Cough... It's embarrassing to say it. I just figured out a way, but it's not too late." Phil Jackson smiled, turned his head and waved to Rodman, "Come on, Rodman, Take a good look at Li, now... it's time for you to seek revenge on him."
