NBA restricted area bulldozer

Chapter 589 "Purple Gold" Season [-]

Before the finals, they were only one step away from the championship.

The Lakers attach great importance to it, let alone Li Shengli personally, and when he arrived in Chicago on the 31st, the first game of the finals will be the next night. The Lakers' targeted defensive practice is still going on, but the effect is not satisfactory, because even a temporary simulation , The triangle system will still cause a lot of trouble for the Lakers' defense.

In this regard, Li Shengli was really anxious to get angry.

The Lakers can only do so much pre-match training. As for Harris, he is also arranging drills over and over again to strengthen everyone's defensive awareness. By the next night, the Lakers will finally log in. The Bulls at the United Center.

As the first game of the finals, the exaggerated heat of this year can be seen from before the game.

Although the annual regular season and playoffs will fluctuate in ratings due to topicality or the popularity of teams, the finals will not be affected by these factors at all.

Because this is the final peak match of each season, the ratings are not of the same magnitude as other games, let alone two special teams will be playing tonight.

On one side is the Bulls led by Jordan.

Since the playoffs in 89, it has been an absolute strong team in the league. If there is an organized national vote, it is estimated that more than [-]% of people will think that Jordan can and should win the championship regardless of who the opponent is, because Jordan himself is the official My favorite mythological figure.

On the other side is the Lakers led by Li Shengli.

As a former wealthy family, there is never a shortage of fanatical fans, and the appearance of Li Shengli also let everyone see that the Zijin Legion’s SHOW TIME era has not yet ended. Now we are filming the second season of "Zijin", which tells the story of another era. the beginning.

……

"Damn, I hate it here!"

"Count me in, I think so too!"

From stepping into the gate of the United Center arena, the manic atmosphere here made everyone in the Lakers feel very uncomfortable, and when everyone walked all the way to the visiting team's locker room, Big Ben made a complaint, and even Kobe echoed it.

"Why can't you say that the league can't make a rule that we can choose a fan to come out for a meal after every away game? It's disgusting. Can you believe that someone poured Coke on me just now?" Fisher Er is a little embarrassed to carry the bag.

"Pouring Coke on you? Which bastard is so wasteful, damn it, isn't it cheaper to pour boiled water than Coke?" Da Ben scolded.

"I rely on you, Ben, do you still have a conscience when you step on a horse, I am so miserable."

"Then what can I do? How about... you go and get revenge on them and give Jordan and Pippen some diarrhea medicine?"

"You guys are enough!" Li Shengli laughed as he walked and listened, "Don't just quarrel, we practiced a lot these two days, don't make trouble for me when we get to the court, this is the last round, seriously point."

Seriously?

Except Crotty, everyone else glanced at Li Shengli.

To be honest, everyone has never seen Li Shengli be so serious. Although he didn't neglect the game before, he really didn't work as hard as he did these days. He not only worked hard by himself, but also pulled the whole team to work hard together. practise.

"Crotty, boss, what's the matter?" Da Ben took a step down and went to Crotty's side, while Li Shengli was in front.

"Nothing, he wants to win!"

"Hey, I know I want to win, but I haven't been this serious before, have I?"

"It was there before, you haven't seen it."

"Then tell me why."

"for money."

"Damn, you can't say two more words when you are riding a horse, do you have to wait for me to ask you?" Da Ben sucked in a breath, "Then let me ask you, haven't we stopped taking orders recently? Could it be... ...Another order?"

"That's right, a big order!" Crotty thought for a while, and West's bonus probably could be considered as an order.

"I'm going, the boss hasn't said anything about it." Daben took advantage of Crotty's silence, and added later, "Crotty, can you talk more this time, you were a personality before... I know a guy with a cold personality, but he's never been this serious. Come on, tell me first, the boss doesn't want to take it all for himself, does he?"

"No!" Crotty glanced at Daben. Although he knew that this guy was joking, he just didn't like people making fun of Li Shengli, and this time he really said a few more words, "Li, I just like saving money. money, but he doesn't seem to have thought about how to spend it!"

"So awesome... awesome?!" Big Ben was startled, looked at Li Shengli's back and sighed involuntarily: "It's the boss after all, he acts eclecticly, then I...hehehe, in fact, if the boss doesn't like flowers Money, I can do it for you, after all, I used to claim to be a good spender in Alabama. Why don't you go talk to the boss and give me a cool sports car after the finals?"

……

Cool sports car? !

Crotty didn't speak, didn't look at the big book, and ended the gossip, and the game would be in a while. He could feel the tense atmosphere of the whole team, and it still couldn't be dispelled until the locker room door was closed.

In fact, it is impossible not to be nervous.

Some old men on the team have never played in the finals, not to mention first-year rookies such as Kobe, Ben, Fisher, and Knight. Even Crotty, a two-time champion, can't calm down, and his reticence is his pressure. outward appearance.

……

After waiting in the locker room for a while, Harris called the players for a pre-fight meeting.

Drawing lessons from the game against the Rockets, Harris did not use his old offensive system, but set his sights on Jordan like all the head coaches in the league except the Bulls.

Suppressing Jordan is definitely not the ultimate goal.

How to deal with Jordan's ball under the high-pressure defense of many people is the key to solving the triangle system.

This has high requirements for the positional distance control, speed attributes, and defensive awareness of the defensive players, so the starting lineup arranged by Harris is still a defensive lineup.

Campbell can play, but he cannot start, because Rodman's defensive ability is obvious to all. It is unreasonable for Campbell to go up and consume his physical fitness and state in vain. It is most suitable for a power forward to go to the big base to assist Li Shengli's offense.

Nick can play, but he can't start, because the inside combination of Li Shengli and Daben set the tone of the lineup, and the demand for point guards in the starting lineup is not very high. Considering that the Lakers' peripheral matchup is Jordan, who made the first defense this season,

Defensive point guard Ron Harper has a lot of offensive pressure and is not as good as defensive.

Another option is the Lakers' firepower supplement.

Horry was placed at small forward, but Kobe did not start. As a crucial finals game, Harris wanted more experienced players, and Eddie became the starter for this game.

……

Harris clapped his hands vigorously at the end of the meeting, glanced at all the players and said: "Okay, guys! This is the annual finals. I am very happy that this year we are not spectators, but participating teams. It's time for everyone to perform."

"We beat the Jazz, and the whole league thought we were lucky!"

"We beat the Blazers, but no one thinks we are terrible."

"We beat the Rockets again. Some people say that we are young and bullying the old."

"But so what? We are the eighth in the Western Conference, we are stepping on all the top balls in the Western Conference, we have reached the finals, and in order to make those people shut their mouths, we have... the last step .”
