NBA restricted area bulldozer

Chapter 695 Get kicked off by teammates?

Amidst the hustle and bustle of the Lakers' home court, the Lakers started the first round of the playoffs, and the first two championships, which established the most important season of the Zijin Dynasty, undoubtedly aroused the highest enthusiasm of the fans, making the fans at home There were no seats left.

As for the visiting Rockets...

The team's performance in the regular season was not good. The Big Three composed of Olajuwon, Barkley, and Drexler were regarded as the peak in recent seasons, but this peak did not last long, and fell all the way to Now eighth in the West.

Think carefully about what the Rockets management has done in recent seasons.

Whether it's Drexler or Barkley, they don't offer high contracts, and they also make the team's lineup older and older.

Although he caught up with Pippen after the Bulls disintegrated, the problem is that Pippen is not young anymore and can't play repressive data. As a result, the team's salary space has been compressed, making the playoffs even more embarrassing.

……

Olajuwon and Pippen must be the starters. The former has an annual salary of 1300 and the latter has an annual salary of 1100.

The starting power forward is the team's former bench Matt Brad; shooting guard Michael Dixon, point guard Cutino Mobley, both are first-year rookies, one round 14, one second round 12.

The combined annual salary of Brad, Dixon, and Mobley is only 160 million.

This number is pitifully small compared to the 2400 of Olajuwon + Pippen, and this set of starters is also seriously deformed, with old and young, and the annual salary is polarized.

The Rockets spend 3000 million wages a year, and the boss and second child account for [-]%?

This ratio is very unhealthy.

At the beginning, if Barkley could be fooled to stay, the Houston Nursing Home might still be able to play a dozen games, but now... they are on the verge of collapse. weakness.

……

Throughout the first half of the game.

Olajuwon is in good health and experienced enough this season. The offensive end always wants to pull Li Shengli out of the penalty area and create opportunities for Pippen to hit the penalty area.

The opportunity did come up.

But the problem is that Rodman, who defended against Pippen, didn't give this former teammate a little face.

You must know that Rodman's style of play has always been rough and active, but what he eats the most on the defensive end is enthusiasm, and Pippen is really about to vomit... There are not many opportunities for shooting, and Barkley's supplementary defense threatens to break through. Even if it is really in the penalty area, Li Shengli, who is in charge of the last line of defense, is the most difficult.

This is completely different from how he plays in the triangle system.

Jordan became crazy, able to pull two defenders, or even three defenders, his offensive pressure was very small, and now everyone can't count on him, he was really confused, and the data in two quarters was 7 points and 4 2 assists per board, far lower than the regular season average of 24 minutes per game, 3 turnovers, well, this is higher than usual.

……

It won't work if the Rockets' shots are transferred to the periphery.

Dixon and Mobley are two young guards, not to mention the playoff experience, the experience accumulated in this shrinking regular season is very little, not to mention that the Lakers still play the backcourt combination of Kobe + Crotty, The two rookies were also confused.

Therefore, throughout the first half, Olajuwon was the one with the most pressure.

The feeling of shouldering a heavy burden is that... all the teammates watched him helplessly beat Li Shengli, and fortunately, he was in good form today, and with Brad, he was struggling to keep the last bit of face of the Rockets.

Two sessions.

Olajuwon scored 18 points, 6 rebounds, and 3 assists. He is still the totem and soul of the Rockets, but the performance of others was too embarrassing. He played a 30:50 halftime and lost by 20 points.

In contrast to the Lakers...

Li Shengli didn't play much offensively, and only scored 13 points in two quarters, but the problem is that for a long time... Li Shengli's significance to the team is definitely not limited to offense, but as the team's offensive and defensive glue, sorting out every offense and defense Task.

所以13分以外还有……9个篮板、5个助攻、4次盖帽、2个抄截奥拉朱旺的抢断，而13+9+5+4+2的半场数据之外伴随的就是全队的攻防热情高涨，两节打出20分领先。

……

These 20 points...

On the one hand, the Lakers lineup is stronger and the tactics are targeted. On the other hand, the Rockets' lineup is seriously collapsed. Even if they don't play against the Lakers, the other six teams in the West will choose at will, and the Rockets will still have a high probability of being at a disadvantage. , the difference is only in the number of points lost.

Only played two quarters.

Harris didn't take the initiative to call a timeout, and in the third quarter...he still didn't make a substitution when there was supposed to be a large-scale rotation. He just arranged for Li Shengli to collect more data and get off work early.

Play data?

Then hit a little!

Li Shengli thinks that 13+9+5+4+2 is the data, and all-around is omnipotent, but he can't find a point to raise it, and other teammates are willing to send Li Shengli away quickly, so the third quarter becomes everything. The rhythm of people wanting to send Li Shengli away.

"Lee, let's do some more."

"Yeah, go down early, you should have nothing to do today!"

"That's right, it's hard to get a chance to brush data, so don't grab it with us."

"Fuck?!" Li Shengli looked at a group of animal teammates, the beasts belong to the beasts, but the rest of the time is meaningless, so he cursed a few words and said: "Then... a double-double, 4X5 data is almost the same That's 1 rebound and 1 block short."

"Okay, great."

"Hurry up, everyone, come on, beat Li down!"

……

Everyone came on stage with this idea, and after shouting a few words, the Olajuwon people were all stupid.

The Lakers want to beat Li Shengli?

Are you sure it's not something wrong with your ears that is riding a horse?

Olajuwon had a weird expression at this time, but because the Rockets had the first attack in the third quarter, he still chose to hit Li Shengli in the low post, but he turned over and missed a jumper, giving birth to a Lakers backcourt board.

……

Out of the rebound?

I will not take it!

I don't even take it on horseback!

Now that Barkley and Rodman are still on the field, the two rebounders are playing around in an instant, and they rushed to the landing point, but they just pretended to surround Li Shengli when they were in place, and no one jumped. Li Shengli didn't even need a pad for his toes, and he got the rebound with one lift of his hand.

Damn it, you two bastards! !

Li Shengli's old face turned black, because Barkley and Rodman had a quarrel, he got an extra rebound, and when he threw it to Crotty and advanced the frontcourt...

Crotty, who was on the vertical line of the front and rear courts, was tapped by Mobley, and the ball fell to the left. Pippen quickly picked up the ball and counterattacked wildly, but the problem was that Li Shengli hadn't run far yet.

then……

Pippen brushed against Li Shengli and rushed in. Li Shengli instinctively withdrew and blocked Pippen, and covered Pippen with a snap. Mobley, who followed up, touched the ball, missed it, and went out of bounds.

……

4X5 is all here?

Damn it, but it's only half a minute!

Li Shengli's face turned black, and Barkley, Rodman, and Kobe slapped their thighs and laughed wildly, and Da Ben off the court did the same, yelling for Harris to change quickly.
