Chapter 581 Veteran's Desire to Win

After all, they have reached the Western Conference finals. The Rockets have a different atmosphere at home and the fans are enthusiastic. Because the Rockets have assembled the Big Three, they are considered to be the most prestigious team besides the Bulls. Even if Olajuwon, Barker Lee and Drexler are considered "old people" in their short-lived sports career.

To be honest, a superstar without a ring is usually labeled as tragic.

Maybe the superstar doesn't need to use the ring to prove something to the fans, but "no" is always an incomplete regret, and Barkley thinks so at present, and even wants it more than everyone else, because he is really running out of time.

This is the most promising season.

This is also the season in which he can break out the last residual heat.

Now there are still two steps in front of the Rockets, and the same goes for the Lakers.

……

There was nothing to say before the game, and both sides maintained a high degree of tension.

When he walked to the midfield with Olajuwon and waited for the start of the game, Li Shengli could feel the desire of the former No. [-] center in the league for the championship, even Barkley and Drexler were the same, and this time the game was waiting for the start The prelude was like... a confrontation before the battle.

beep!

A whistle broke the solemnity!

Although he and Olajuwon took off at the same time, Li Shengli still touched the ball first due to his full explosive power, and pushed his four fingers to the back, officially sounding the horn of the Western Conference Finals.

……

In fact, the Lakers probably guessed that the opponent would be the Rockets, so in the preparation stage, Harris deliberately arranged tactical running exercises for the Rockets' offensive and defensive habits, and it can be seen in the first round...

Li Shengli went straight to the high position, gave Nick a cover, and went down to the deep position, and Olajuwon could not move. Facing Li Shengli, he could not move anyway. The task of assisting defense was handed over to Barkley.

Is Barkley assisting defense?

According to the plan, Nick originally thought that his breakthrough would cause the Rockets to switch defenses, allowing Li Shengli to play a time difference, but obviously the Rockets had already determined a goal, that is, Li Shengli, can't let go, and Olajuwon, can't move!

Now, it's Ben who gets the switch time difference.

Nick really didn't have time to think about it, the ball was passed out, and Ben knew the situation, so he seized this opportunity and hit a mid-range shot near the basket, but the ball missed the rebound, and the rebound collapsed to the left side of the penalty area. Li Shengli's jurisdiction.

card position? !

Feeling Olajuwon's restraint, Li Shengli broke out and pushed his opponent away in an instant.

But it was just such a delayed action, a bang... Barkley, who was helping to defend the Nicks just now, caught the rebound, and Ben, as the offensive finisher, obviously found it difficult to participate in this competition.

……

The Lakers failed to advance, and the Rockets counterattacked.

With the Rockets' Big Three fully attacking, Barkley received a pass from the starting point guard Mario Elie, and directly hit the big base in the right corner with his solid body and super explosive power. , Big Ben has long been tortured by this offensive method and developed antibodies, and he did not lose the wind in the confrontation.

It's just... Barkley wouldn't be able to get to where he is today if he really did. After feeling the strength of Da Ben, he made a fierce confrontation for the last time. While Da Ben was immersed in the rhythm of the confrontation, he directly Turn back and rush to the basket from the baseline.

At this time, Li Shengli had to go straight to Barkley. Although he expected the possibility of Barkley passing the ball, he had to choose one due to difficulties.

"Olajuwon!"

"Here, give it to me!"

"Damn it, Ben, punch him!"

"That's too late!"

Olajuwon started running long before Li Shengli set off. It was supposed to be a big defense, but the problem is that in this round, Barkley launched an attack from the three-point line in the right corner. To defend against Olajuwon, time and distance are too late.

Swish!

With a swipe of the net, the Rockets broke through the Lakers' basket for the first time.

……

At the beginning of the game, there are not many signs of attacking and defending.

But the next direction of the game made Li Shengli frown.

The Lakers' offense is a bit reluctant.

Harris' arrangement was originally intended to make Li Shengli's game easier, at least not to be double-teamed, so the arrangement was for Nick to cover and advance appropriately, resulting in a difference in the time for the Rockets to switch defenses inside.

It’s just that Harris didn’t expect that the Rockets would pay so much attention to the threat of Li Shengli and underestimate Daben’s offense. As a result, Daben, who was outside the main firepower of the Lakers, ended the offense, and the further result was Daben’s strike. , Olajuwon and Barkley rebounded two-on-one, one card and one grab!

Although Olajuwon has become an ultimate blue-collar, and the data on the bright side are all Barkley's, he doesn't care anymore, and Barkley doesn't care, assuming he is Olajuwon, he will do the same.

……

As for the next, the Lakers' several offenses are exactly the same!

Although Nick's breakthrough was not zero effect, Li Shengli also successfully scored 3 goals and 6 points, but more shots were diverted outwards, and Kobe was also taken care of, and the team's efficiency was far lower than usual.

Conversely, the Rockets' offense is still Olajuwon's dedication.

Never take the initiative to ask for the ball to try singles, always running to pull Li Shengli, while Barkley and Drexler are positioned on the left and right sides, using their strong singles ability to solve problems and hit the basket, resulting in the most intuitive effect It is to attract Li Shengli to defend and liberate Olajuwon who has been contributing.

This approach is effective, and the strongest evidence of its effectiveness is that the Rockets led the Lakers by 8 points in the first quarter and ended the first quarter with a score of 22:30.

As for the second quarter.

As the head coach, Harris saw that the breakaway players he arranged had been dragging Barkley's position, and the fourth position became the weakness of the Rockets, so he simply put a Campbell with a stronger offensive ability.

However, it backfired.

It's okay to change players, but the problem is that Campbell's hand feeling in this game is very bad. He went up and hit a 4-pointer and missed 3. In addition, Harris' formation entered a dead end, and he only wanted to He tried to create a shooting environment for Li Shengli, but he forgot that the person who created the environment was Li Shengli himself, so... even if a few timeouts were called, the Lakers still collapsed in the second quarter.

继首节落后的8分，第二节又落后了6分，上半场落后14分，而李胜利的半场数据只有14分、6板、1助攻而已。

……

Seeing this situation, the Rockets fans at home became more and more enthusiastic, and the Lakers returned to the bench, except for Li Shengli, they all seemed a little flustered, because the journey has been smooth and smooth until now, this is a weak rhythm that has never been encountered before, even when playing against the Jazz. Never had.

"Damn it, Campbell, are you too aggrieved by playing this game?!" In the locker room, Da Ben, who missed the second quarter, was not calm.

"I can't help it, I really don't feel good tonight." After getting acquainted, Campbell didn't bother to care about Da Ben's complaints.

"Okay, Big Ben, don't say a few words to me!" Li Shengli glared at the two fighting spirits.

"Damn, boss, I'm just complaining, don't stare at me!" What Daben is most afraid of is that Li Shengli will lose his temper, so he can only turn his head and say to Harris: "Coach, you can't continue fighting like this, keep fighting like this!" As long as we are all yellow, just let Li go up and single out Olajuwon, or it will be over, if you don’t even have this confidence in him, then we still have to beat the fart.”

"Shut up!" Harris frowned.

Because of the Big Three Rockets played tonight, Harris deliberately studied the playing habits of the Big Three, but the Rockets were also studying the Lakers, and in the targeted game before the game, he was almost completely defeated.

Originally, I wanted Li Shengli to play more easily and amplify his offensive ability.

But I never thought that my "overcorrected" arrangement and getting other people involved would actually limit Li Shengli's performance, abandon the most familiar fighting methods, and insist on targeted tactics. Harris realized that... he was at the edge of his head up.

How to make up for it? !

Harris didn't think about it, but if the pre-arranged direction is wrong, he still has to turn back in time.

This time, Harris gritted his teeth and took Campbell and Horry. These two positions were against the Big Three of the Rockets, and Ben and Crotty were replaced.
