NBA restricted area bulldozer

Chapter 561 Targeted Lineup

Day 80 of [-] Cent Night.

As a major event in the 50-year history of the NBA, Li Shengli's name has swept almost all the sports pages in the United States. To be honest, the league officials are really willing to see this kind of situation, especially Stern, who spared no effort to use official resources and channels, to promote Li Shengli.

The purpose is of course clear. The NBA wants to open up the blue ocean market in China with the help of Li Shengli.

But there are still problems... The NBA's domestic propaganda volume is really small, the market environment is completely different from that of the United States, and the development plan still needs a long time to polish, and Li Shengli's role in this is very important, so Media resource tilt is also normal.

The reason is also very simple.

As the No.1 recommended by Jordan in the local market, Jordan and a group of super giants have stabilized the domestic market in the United States. This is the foundation of the league. The problem is that there is more than one sports league in the United States. The development speed is not fast, so the two new armies of the Grizzlies and Raptors are one of the official development plans of the alliance, targeting Canada.

The good thing is that the Raptors and Grizzlies have received national support, which is beneficial to official expansion.

The bad thing is...No one is happy to go to free agency, at least big-name players generally don't think about it. It is estimated that for a long time, they can only train and send stars to local American teams through the draft.

But foreign players are different.

The existence of a top foreign player can create great enthusiasm for the league. The only question is whether the foreign player can reach the top.

After all, in the NBA, which represents the highest level of basketball in the world, it is very difficult to become a star, and a second-rate or third-rate foreign player is abused in the NBA every day, which really makes audiences outside the United States pay no attention. interest of.

But Li Shengli met all the requirements.

Regardless of the blue ocean market behind the nationality background.

Or personal ability, alliance influence.

All of them are excellent in the assessment, which is simply the most perfect sign. Even Stern is considering... whether to add some alternatives to attract more Chinese players to participate in the draft, especially Li Shengli is already in the United States and in the NBA. When the latecomers open the way.

So, the news of the past few days came out.

The general direction of the official future has also been promoted. This time, it is Stern who will do it himself. This offseason really needs to be well prepared. Li Shengli is the key to everything.

It's just... Li Shengli doesn't have the time to care about the NBA's expansion plan at this meeting.

……

"How is Kobe?"

"Isn't this training? For a whole season, you practice like this every day. Can't you, the head coach, see it?"

At this time in the Lakers training facility, Harris and Li Shengli stood by and watched the players' training. Although Li Shengli did not participate in the training for the time being, let alone Harris, the entire Lakers would not say anything. Li Shengli is self-disciplined, and the amount of daily training is stable.

"Honestly speaking, after this season, his performance is worthy of West and the importance you place on him." Harris was very relieved, and he was much more serious when talking about business, and this would make Li Shengli more serious. Peers, not team members, are chatting.

"Hey, what's the use of just focusing on it! If it weren't for Iverson of the 76ers... Kobe would even have a chance to win a wave of best rookies. Damn, coach, do you think all the boys are so fierce now?" Li Shengli I frowned when I thought of Iverson... because the regular season has come to an end, and everyone's average data is basically frozen.

艾弗森一个新秀竟然是23.5分、7.5助攻、4.1篮板、2.1抢断的全能数据，而科比这赛季则是15.4分、2.5助攻、3.1篮板、1.1抢断。

Of course, what cannot be ignored is the playing time of the two. The former is 40 and the latter is 26. The single comparison data is not fair.

"Normal, debut is the pinnacle, didn't you look like this when you first entered the league?"

"Don't talk about me, I'm stable now." Li Shengli tilted his head and glanced at Harris, "Talk about Kobe, he's growing fast enough now, this time in the playoffs, Kobe has a stable starting position, you Do you think there is a problem?"

"No problem, it's almost time for Eddie to hand over to him."

"Then it's settled. This playoffs is for a good fight, otherwise... I will lose a lot." Li Shengli scratched his head when he thought of this, and now all his thoughts are on the bonuses for the playoffs .

"Well, it should be."

"Originally we didn't have much hope for the championship this season, but it's different now!"

"Ben's appearance has made our promotion environment in the West very good, because our main opponents in the West this season are the Jazz and Rockets. If Ben plays well and can limit Barkley and Malone, then we will be much easier."

"Although Ben's offensive ability is limited, here... we discovered Kobe to supplement our firepower!"

"To be honest, this lineup is already very good, and the probability of passing the Western Conference has increased a lot. If you can really stand in the finals, even if you have a high probability of meeting the Bulls, Crotty can play a big role in Jordan. role, and this guy... West should really give him a raise!"

Harris straightened his mind.

Think about it this way... The current lineup of the Lakers is too targeted. It is simply the best lineup for customs clearance under the current situation. It is not a panacea, but it is very targeted.

Of course, the game is not all about imagination.

Personnel variables, injuries, and on-the-spot performance may all affect the direction of the game. It can only be said that the Lakers have paved a way to the championship through non-subjective changes, even though they are still at the bottom of the top eight seats in the Western Conference.

……

"The Jazz have already played, what's going on with the Rockets now?" Li Shengli asked.

"What else can happen? Olajuwon, Barkley, and Drexler combined to average 60 points per game. Barkley paired with Olajuwon. Compared with the Suns, the scoring has dropped, but The guy's rebounding skyrocketed and freed up space for Olajuwon."

"For the Rockets, Olajuwon leads in scoring, Barkley leads in rebounds, and Drexler leads in assists."

"These three people are really difficult to deal with, especially Barkley... thinking about the championship is going crazy. His scoring has dropped a lot, but his rebounds have soared. He doesn't care about the data at all to make room for Olajuwon."

"Drexler is the same. The statistics of the three account for a large proportion of the team. This lineup is enough after a season. After all, these three are old fritters who want to win the championship, and they don't care about personal statistics anymore. .”

"We predict that if there is no change in the future, the Jazz in the West will be first and the Rockets will be second, and we have fallen to the end now. What we have to do now is to stabilize the eighth and not touch the seventh to ensure that the first round goes to Salt Lake If the city starts to fight, if they advance all the way...the most gnawing bone will be placed in the Western Conference finals."

……

Stable eighth is to avoid the Rockets? !

Li Shengli understands this suggestion, but having said that, the Rockets and the Jazz must both play for the championship, but for the team, it is of course better for the team to go further in the playoffs.

However... the Lakers want to avoid the Rockets, and it is estimated that the Rockets don't want to run into the Lakers.

After all, compared to the Lakers, the Rockets hope to be the No. [-] in the West and face the No. [-] Clippers in the first round; Boat.
