NBA restricted area bulldozer

Chapter 586 Big Ben, Show Buckley Your Biceps

What a perfect partner! !

Kobe, who scored a goal, looked at Li Shengli, and felt that there was nothing in the world that could be more reliable than the current Li Shengli, while Drexler, who was sitting off the court, looked at Olajuwon and looked at him again. Li Shengli shook his head unconsciously.

There is no doubt that Olajuwon is already on the decline at this stage, as are the other two giants, and Li Shengli, the newly promoted super center, has already surpassed the Western Conference in terms of deterrence at the basket.

As for just now, the ball was a simple high block by the center and an attack by the deep position, but because of Li Shengli's deterrence, Olajuwon and Barkley had to pounce on it, and finally gave Kobe a perfect one. Chance.

It's a bit awkward to replace his teammates, but if he was on the court, he would definitely go to Kobe's side early for this ball and make up for interference before Kobe shot. This is defensive experience, but the problem is... Rudy is afraid of this. Repeat the same mistakes in the final quarter of the game, staggering the time of the Big Three as much as possible.

……

What can I do?

Rudy is very embarrassed, watching the lead in the first quarter being eroded a little bit, it is useless to get angry.

Putting Drexler back on the field is against the strategic policy set before the game. He is not optimistic about the role he can play on the defensive end. Now he can only hope that the players on the field can be more active, and he can only be on the sidelines Shout loudly to remind players to defend.

……

If the reminder is useful.

Useful if the volume is high.

That tenor like Pavarotti is the best coach in the league!

Obviously Rudy's shouts failed to stimulate the players present, and the Rockets immediately fell into a dilemma after the first quarter, which was never worried...

On the offensive end, Barkley had a problem.

After trying to cooperate with his teammates and reduce energy consumption, the effect was very unsatisfactory, and he finally started to fight for Daben, and Daben absorbed the experience of the previous game, which made it much more difficult for Barkley to play singles, and his overall efficiency declined slightly.

Even worse is the defensive end.

Originally, the state of the Rockets showed a trend of driving high and going low, but after a little relaxation in the second quarter, Li Shengli pulled Kobe to start the performance.

Although the main attack point is Kobe, the Rockets still dare not let Li Shengli go. As a result, Kobe took off quickly and scored 10 points in only half a quarter, while the rebound output under high hits was still very small. Olajuwon and Barker Li could only pile up next to Li Shengli, his face livid.

Offensive rebounds, no!

Backcourt rebounds were also scored [-]-[-].

……

Finally, in the middle of the second quarter, after the duo of Lakers Lee and Ke scored a goal, Rudy called a timeout, but before the two sides retreated to the rest area...

"Asshole, don't run to the basket, if you have the guts, go outside and fight me!" Barkley jumped and cursed.

"Damn, I didn't even make a move. What are you doing with me all the time? I think you are confused. I really want to ask you to practice solo when I am free and have nothing to do? Do you want to fight?" Li Shengli rubbed his head and laughed, feeling Barkley was really anxious, and turned his head to look at Big Ben and Kobe.

"Big Ben, show him some muscles!!" Big Ben grinned, baring his teeth, bending his arms and raising his biceps.

"Kobe, show him your shot!" Kobe's face turned cold. Before leaving the court, he grabbed a ball and threw it into the basket in the backcourt.

Wang Defa?

This is a shot, and this horse is a sniper rifle with an eight-fold mirror, right?

The whole audience didn't know what happened. Although the Li Shengli brothers pretended to be calm, everyone scolded them when they turned around and walked to the bench. Barkley almost vomited old blood and was beaten by Olajuwon. Drag it away, go back and wait for Rudy's arrangement.

……

"Okay guys, now it's our time." Harris was much more relaxed on the Lakers bench.

Because from the current point of view... the three giants teamed up and continued to fight, the Lakers will not be too afraid, the final quarter is the most risky quarter for both sides, and now Rudy wants to share the risk, the result is the lead in the first quarter, half quarter It was wiped out by the Lakers.

I also know that Rudy is going to fight again!

This time it must be the Big Three all at once, and Harris is really not afraid of it, because just like some media reports, the Rockets are high platform divers, standing on the high platform in the first quarter, no one can catch up, after that Jumping down from a high platform, no one has to chase, because Newton once said... the gravity of the earth will help!

"Lee, Kobe, keep playing like this for the first attack."

"Ben, for another half quarter, find Barkley to fight more and try to draw fouls!"

"Go up, boy. I don't like Houston. Maybe it's time to go to Chicago or Miami."

……

Harris pretended, and the Lakers made their debut again.

This time, as expected, Rudy still failed to settle down. The Big Three continued to join forces and temporarily gave up the idea of ​​rotating Barkley or Olajuwon.

The Rockets took the lead in the first quarter, and the Lakers tied in the half quarter.

The Big Three teamed up again and took a 3-point lead in the second half.

But the third quarter was embarrassing. The three giants teamed up to guarantee a weak lead. If one or several substitutes were replaced, Rudy didn't dare to think about it. He worked until 7 minutes into the third quarter. With 5 minutes left and 17 minutes left in the game, the Lakers had already overtaken, not only smoothing the point difference, but also taking a 2-point lead.

The problem is not the Lakers', but the Rockets'.

Now the Lakers have overtaken for the first time, and there is also a turning point in the rhythm. If they continue to play, they can only play worse and worse. Rudy gritted his teeth and broke the last 5 minutes of the third quarter to give Olajuwon, Barker One and half of the team, I look forward to less lagging behind during this time period, and strive to start a decisive battle at the end of the quarter.

……

However, things backfired!

Barkley goes first, Rudy replaces Barkley with Matt Brad, and Harris sees...immediately replaces Ben with Campbell, and without Barkley, Brad has to help the boss, Campbell is comfortable He had to be called out on the spot, and he repeatedly shot shots with weak interference or even zero interference, and hit extremely high. He played 2 offenses and scored 3 goals in 4 minutes, including a 2+1 free throw.

……

Hold on, hold on!

Rudy couldn't stand it, and Barkley, who had rested for more than 2 minutes and 1 second, was sent on the field. At the same time, Olajuwon was also off, and Kevin Willis appeared.

The embarrassing thing is that Kevin Willis is also an 'old man' who has fought for 13 seasons, and the Rockets' bench is really stretched.

Compared with Barkley, the Rockets' Olajuwon has a greater impact on the game.

Although Li Shengli and Olajuwon have fought fiercely until now, the problem is that Kevin Willis is also an old patient. The rhythm of the ball, double 2+4, 2 points.

……

How much hope there is before the game, how much despair there will be!

Rudy gave Olajuwon a rest during the desperate 2 minutes and 59 seconds, and scored 5 points with Barkley. At this time, it was not the Rockets' offense that had a problem, but the defensive end exploded. In 5 minutes, the point difference was widened by 9 points.

Li Shengli, you bastard!

Rudy now has the idea of ​​hiring a murderer to kill someone, because in front of the Rockets is always Li Shengli, the barrier of the restricted area, which cannot be blown up or destroyed. As soon as his own firepower stopped, the barrier of the restricted area gave the Rockets two howitzers. , directly pull the hips to enter the final quarter.

Deja vu scene?

Damn, isn't that the case in the first scene?

The fans at the scene really couldn't calm down. The Rockets played two home games first, and were beaten twice first, and then they lost even the home court advantage. What are they going to do to fight the Lakers? Will it be the end of the Western Conference Finals for the Houstonians? ...in Los Angeles?

……

Before anyone could think too much, the last quarter started again.

The Big Three never retreated, and Li Shengli stayed with him to the end, even playing more. Unlike playing a second-rate center, Olajuwon's desperate defensive confrontation is also difficult to endure. Fortunately... the outside world may not know, but the Lakers But the inside knows that they are a dual-core team!

Since Li Shengli's fierce battle, Crotty, Big Ben, and Kobe have successively appeared on the stage to support, and this time Harris also sent a soy sauce Fisher to hug Kobe's thigh, and he went straight to heaven.

With all kinds of screens and passes on the outside, Kobe's output environment is so good that every shooting guard is envious!

The inside line is a place where tough guys fight hand-to-hand. Li Shengli's threat is still there, so no one wants to go out to flirt with Kobe, and Daben has become the main force of rebounding, supplying a few frontcourt boards.

Until the last 6 minutes.

The Lakers' lead soared from 9 points to 17 points. Kobe's core tactics took the baton from Li Shengli very well, and Rudy... angrily turned around and kicked his little bench.

If you want to change, the head coach can't change!

Without substitutions, the Big Three can't stand it!

As for why this happened, why he repeated the same mistakes and reversed history, Rudy didn’t know. His thoughts were constantly hovering between criticism and self-criticism, while the Lakers gradually replaced the main players in the game, and the point difference gradually narrowed. case ends.

The final score was 100:91!

The big score in the Western Conference Finals was 0:2!

Compared with the Rockets' data set and the Big Three teaming up for 66 points, the Lakers' scoring data is not far behind.

Li Shengli contributed 28 points, Kobe Bryant contributed 22 points, and Campbell did not have much time but also scored 10 points. As for Daben's 13 rebounds and Crotty's 4 rebounds and 2 steals, the same is true. In addition to the performance on the defensive end, the scoring also has a big increase. And Fisher, who likes to mention garbage time, finally completed a self-breakthrough.
