NBA restricted area bulldozer

Chapter 722

Enter halftime.

Harris' face was livid in the locker room, with sweat on his forehead, because he has gone all the way to the present, and now he is going to die. Although he made the right choice at the beginning, but with his own hand feeling bad and O'Neal's free throw improvement, Still suffocating and not changing, the decision-making mistakes here are not small.

Now, the immediate priority is remediation.

After hesitating for a while, Harris finally made up his mind and asked Barkley to return to the court. Rodman and Kobe did not move, and Fisher went up to try a little more. As for Li Shengli... he couldn't move, he couldn't move at all.

"Li, it's up to you in the second half."

"Okay, I hope there's still time!"

"In time, it must be in time. Although the tactical effect in the first half was not good, a small part of the task has been completed. I believe that O'Neill must have more time than you. This is our opportunity."

After Harris finished speaking, Li Shengli could only nod helplessly, while Kobe and Barkley looked at each other again.

Although their poor state affected the tactical effect of the first half, they actually reminded Harris when they played 6 minutes into the first quarter. It’s just that the direction Harris chose as the helm was inconsistent, and now the result It came out, it was a big deviation.

Under such circumstances, Kobe and Barkley felt helpless when they remembered that Li Shengli would go into the water and turn the tide, but they could only hope for Li Shengli's outbreak, especially... the desperate Barkley.

"Li, now it's really up to you!"

"Don't be discouraged, it's still early, play a quarter with me later, I will play first if I can, if you can pull Garnett over, you can just cut directly to the basket, and I will pass the ball to you."

"Okay, let's work hard together, our time is running out."

……

The atmosphere in the locker room was dull.

It is not a big deal to be beaten by the opponent in the first half. The real big deal is that compared with the Celtics, the Lakers do not have an obvious peak efficiency point, which means that the Lakers do not have an explosive offense. It will only be half-dead, and it will be delayed until the last quarter, or even the end of the game.

So not only Harris, but the whole team is counting on Li Shengli's offensive to bloom.

Such an anxious atmosphere lasted until the third quarter when the two sides appeared on the stage, starting the battle in the second half.

……

The changes of the Lakers in the third quarter were seen by everyone. After the big book was released, Barkley played power forward.

The signal released from this is that the Lakers gave up their tactics against O'Neal and chose an aggressive inside combination.

Li Shengli + Barkley.

This is the inside combination that the Lakers started the most times, but this one appeared a bit late, and Barkley did not perform well in the first half of the game. The reason why he returned to the power forward is that... for Pull Garnett, prevent the Celtics from forming a double team, and give Li Shengli the greatest room for movement.

With such a change, Harris' adjustment is equivalent to putting all the pressure on Li Shengli.

If Li Shengli broke out, the Lakers might win. If Li Shengli didn't break out, the Lakers would definitely lose. As the winner in this situation, he was facing a fat man like O'Neal. Li Shengli's nerves were tense.

I don't want to lose!

Really didn't want to lose, Li Shengli realized for the first time... that the motivation driving him forward was not only West's championship bonus, but also his deepest resentment towards O'Neal from the bottom of his heart.

Except for the draft pick!

Except for the Rookie of the Year!

What O'Neill has, he has; what O'Neill doesn't have, he also has!

It's just that the extra four rings were not obtained by playing against O'Neal in the finals, but if he really lost this finals...he couldn't even imagine how many years O'Neal would talk about this shit. It's not that he thinks too much, O'Neill is really capable.

So not for anything else, just to prevent this guy from annoying me in the future!

He also has to win this finals, every game is very important, at least he can’t lose the finals against Shaquille O’Neal, not to mention... the undefeated Kay Kay took over the finals in the 80s from Kareem Abdul-Jabbar Record, if this collapsed in the 90s, it is no exaggeration to say that the previous two championships would not be worth the loss against the Celtics.

……

At this moment, Li Shengli is equivalent to 'desperate'.

So, as soon as the third quarter started, Li Shengli's desire to attack exploded, and O'Neal on the opposite side couldn't stop him.

In the first half, Daben did grind O'Neal for two full quarters, consuming his physical energy, but the problem is that the impact of physical fitness bottoming out is not in the third quarter, so O'Neal still has the strength to fight, but Li Shengli has always Maintaining the confrontation at the peak, he himself began to slowly decline in physical fitness, and his strength was weak.

So, it was as expected by West and the others.

After choosing the offensive lineup, the Lakers did enter a relatively stalemate with the Celtics. They played 28:25 in the third quarter, winning by 3 points, and the point difference narrowed to 8 points. Li Shengli scored 18 points per quarter. point.

All the way to the end.

O'Neal really couldn't do it anymore. The offensive part was transferred to the hands of Garnett and Pierce. They shot around the screen and cut jump shots.

Attack and defense with one hand!

This is the big killer for Li Shengli to come back from a disadvantage!

But the problem now is... O'Neal and Garnett are too familiar with him, they don't give him a chance at all, and completely make Li Shengli anxious, and when the defense is out of reach, they can only use offense to vent their anger and grab their tendons. The exhausted O'Neill beat him wildly.

However... O'Neill looked at the scoreboard when he had time, and then at his teammates with high morale. Garnett and Pierce scored points repeatedly, and kept the point difference at around 10 points. It was basically painful and happy.

Even if he was beaten by Li Shengli, even if the efficiency in the final quarter was significantly lower than that of Li Shengli, it didn't matter.

Because other people's shots can offset the difference between him and Li Shengli, allowing the Celtics to keep scoring, and because the free throws have reached the best level, even the famous shark-slashing tactic against him is not very effective.

……

"Damn it, Li, you're still struggling after it's beaten like this?"

"Where did you come up with so much nonsense!"

"Damn, if I don't believe you, aren't you tired? You can't afford to lose a game?"

"As long as I hit you, I won't be tired, I can chase you all over the court!"

O'Neill took the time to say a few words about disintegrating Li Shengli's fighting spirit, but unexpectedly, he was beaten back by Li Shengli, and the reason why he wanted to induce surrender...was O'Neill who really couldn't stand it anymore, because counting the first three rounds, Li Shengli He has already hit 3 goals in a row, pushing all the way to the basket is a dunk, and a small hook close to the basket can be used at any position, which is completely difficult to defend.

As for this time... Li Shengli is here again.

O'Neill was crazy, he was hit solidly in the first wave, he began to understand the mood of the opponent's center who had been beaten by him, and after the second wave of impact...he was hit directly Opening the position, Li Shengli turned to the basket and scored a dunk.
