NBA restricted area bulldozer

Chapter 696 Charity Gambling King O'Neill

Change the core in the first 30 seconds of the second half?

No one understood the Lakers' operation.

But it doesn't matter if you don't understand it, because the game has already been broken, and it doesn't matter how abnormal the operation is. After all, the point difference is here, and after Daben replaced Li Shengli... the Lakers' inside line is still strong.

Big Ben has less offense, but Barkley and Kobe have.

Even if the shot is not high, the rebounding of Big Ben, Rodman, and Barkley is very strong. The three of them are rushing all over the field, and one of them is in a defensive zone, which extends the free throw line to the sidelines on both sides. .

Kobe kept shooting, and kept grabbing inside.

Olajuwon's third quarter collapsed, and of course there is good news... Daben can't completely replace Li Shengli, at least the assist ability is not good, and the Lakers' offense has lost the smoothness of the first half, and the point difference is slowly increasing. zoom out.

Until the end of the third quarter.

The 20-point lead in the first half turned into 16 points. The Rockets won the respite, and the last quarter that really decided the outcome... Rockets coach Rudy was directly beaten to tears by his own lineup.

The core center Olajuwon can no longer move.

There are two first-year rookie guards in the starting lineup. Thinking about it, I know that there are not many bench players who can play in the back, and Brent Price, the No.3 salary in the team, is also in the backcourt, but his old injury has recurred , After playing for 3 minutes in the first half, it will not work.

Brad, who was in the fourth position, played for 10 minutes and also started to rotate, but every change was full of patients, and one player played for 5 minutes, filling the number of heads.

Now, the only one who can play is Pippen.

……

So at the end...

The Rockets let the two young guards continue to play, and also assigned Pippen two sick insiders. All tactics revolved around Pippen, and Pippen was indeed the boss of the quarter.

The Lakers are much simpler.

Change the backcourt casually, Kobe, Crotty, Nick, Eddie, Fisher can all play, and this time Eddie and Nick's old partners, Big Ben and Barkley also continue to partner, Rodman is Replaced by Fox.

Just better than the rotation.

The Lakers' rotation is more than one grade higher than that of the Rockets, and the Rockets just didn't spend their money wisely. There are basically few players on the bench who can play.

Can you fight?

Then we have to fight first!

In the last quarter, Pippen fought back hard, anyway...his all-around attributes made the Rockets more comfortable.

7 points, 4 rebounds and 2 assists?

The data in the first half was sluggish, and there was no defense from Rodman in the final quarter. He led the team alone and turned himself into Jordan. With 19 points, 10 rebounds and 7 assists, the point difference was reduced from 16 to 14.

At first glance, the situation is not bad, and 14 in the half quarter is not impossible.

Rudy was desperate and sent Olajuwon up again, but it was okay if the two did not cooperate. Harris also put Rodman back, and the Rockets' offense continued to collapse.

The initiative is in the hands of the Lakers?

Rudy knew at a glance... Playing Olajuwon in extreme condition will only make the Lakers counterattack stronger, while Rodman is still light. If Li Shengli is released, he will not even be able to save the last bit of face , The point difference is beaten back to more than 20, which is something that you don't even have to think about.

So Pippen led the team to play!

Pippen played a full 45 minutes in this game, and he gave up in despair in the last minute. What he finally got was a triple-double of 1+22+11. When the Rockets lost the game with 10 points, this triple-double Double data is the only consolation for the Rockets management.

Of course, there are worse things besides comfort.

For Pippen, the management let go of Barkley, and in this Pippen triple-double, Barkley is also a 33+15 double-double. Three times as much.

……

There is no suspense in the G1 battle.

Not even this first round.

In the first game on the 9th, 95:111, the Rockets lost by 16 points.

In the second game on the 11th, 102:108, the Rockets lost by 6 points.

12 good third game, 103:95, the Rockets lost another 8 points.

All the way to ruin, the Lakers didn't give the Rockets a chance, and in these three games...

第一次分差最大，李胜利只打两节，数据是13+10+5+5；而随后两场还是卖力的，三场场均取整是25+13+5+4，十分的全能。

……

At the same time, with 5 games and 3 wins in the first round, the Lakers swept and advanced, while the Celtics in the East were even more irritable. They played the Knicks in the first round...

The situation of the Knicks is much better than that of the Rockets. At least except for Ewing, they are not as old-fashioned as the Rockets.

Of course there are also bad.

This season, Sprewell was supposed to be a strong support in the team, but he was tossed and broken by the Lakers Rangers at the beginning of the season. Thanks to the Knicks' team doctor, he even cleaned him up when he was injured.

It’s just that the good times didn’t last long. Before the end of the season, the Heat played in the fifth last game. Mourning’s teammates were slashed.

Malone saw that Mourning didn't contribute much, so he went off the field himself. In the third quarter, an iron elbow beat Sprewell to death on the spot, and when he restarted... the Knicks had already returned to the East, and the Celtics played again. It's time to come.

Only this time, O'Neal led people to rush to nothing, because Sprewell scored twice in Salt Lake City and was reimbursed again, and this result... Even Ewing, the boss of the Knicks, thought it was normal. He knew that as long as Sprewell refused to give in, such tragedies would still happen.

As for whether this group of people is bad or not.

Warriors head coach Carlesimo, who was once choked by a madman, said to the media... When Sprewell has the greatest malice towards others, he should have this kind of awareness, and this result is not accidental, It is inevitable, because the severe beating from society is a life problem that he must face.

……

Looking back, the Knicks were damaged again because of Sprewell's absence. Like the Rockets, they were also destined to be swept away. O'Neal averaged 31+11+3+4 in the three games, and his performance was very irritable. Together with Li Shengli's 25+13+5+4, they became the most lethal super center duo in the first round of this playoffs.

Therefore, between the first round and the second round, almost all the media were comparing the two data, and even the day after the first round, O'Neill made a phone call with Li Shengli, and the parties talked directly.

"Li, why do you score so little?"

"Grass, you still think 25 points is too little, is your head flooded?"

"Bah, you poor man... Damn, are you selling data for money again?"

"No, my business has not been very good recently. A few teammates have no money to make when they are familiar with the game, and they all know that the Rockets can't stand it. They said they don't want to waste this money. I have convinced these people who have no dreams. "

"Business is not good? You can't make any money if you are familiar with it? Damn, do you still have a sense of honor in terms of statistics?" O'Neill almost vomited blood, and continued: "You...you old poor man, okay, always Before the finals, let's compete in an open and aboveboard manner, don't do anything useless, I'll bet on your statistics."
