Bulldozer of the NBA’s Restricted Area

There are only two days between the third and fourth games.

In the past two days... everyone in the league has been staring at the finals, staring at the Lakers and Celtics, staring at Li Shengli and O'Neal, especially this crucial fourth game, because this One battle may decide the outcome.

There are plums on Tianwang Mountain and sharks in shallow pools!

In the past few years since he entered the league, Li Shengli has maintained his suppression of O'Neal's career performance. Every time, Li was on top of O'Neal's position. But now it seems to have confirmed the slang of getting fat before being called fat. O'Neal turned over and became the offensive player. Fang, take the initiative!

Just like the tit-for-tat combination of Magic Johnson and Big Bird Larry Bird.

The match between Li Shengli and O'Neal was of course what the league officials were hyping up this time, so the news during the entire finals was explosive. Promotional posters of yellow and green competing could be seen everywhere, but what neither the officials nor Stern expected was... It turned out to be a one-sided situation, which also made the officials anxious to prepare the awards after the finals at the Lakers' Great Western Forum Arena.

Because based on the experience of more than fifty years.

Not to mention the finals, no team can make a comeback after being three games behind in the playoffs.

Just take the current competition system and push it forward fifty years.

Taking the Eastern Conference as an example, the first round only played 5 games, not counting it, and the second round is a 7-game system. The four teams will play twice, and there will be one more time in the Western Conference Finals, a total of three times. Counting the three times in the Western Conference, the total One final.

In the playoffs of a season, there are 7 rounds in a 7-game series.

Multiplied by 50 years, that is 350 rounds of 7-game playoffs, and the chance of a 0:3 comeback is not even 1 in 350 or 0.1. It is basically an impossible myth, and it has never existed in the long history. There is no such thing, so we cannot say that the public or Boston are anxious to judge the Lakers as a loser, because it is difficult for anyone to win.

…

Until the evening of the 23rd.

The Celtics' battle to reach the top and the Lakers' life-and-death battle are about to begin.

What's embarrassing is that the ticketing system of the Great Western Forum Arena, home of the Lakers, shows that although the tickets are sold out, they are not sold out as quickly as before. The difference in the middle is huge, which means that the enthusiasm of the fans is not high, and think about it I can understand... Big cats and kittens have been swarming the Lakers in recent days, making everyone feel that there is no hope. Buying tickets to watch the Lakers' old enemy Celtics reach the top on their peak night is really too bad. .

Fortunately, there is basically no attendance problem in the finals. The difference is that the pessimism of the fans has slowed down ticket sales. However, under this mood, the Great Western Forum Arena is still full, and after two days of quarrels, this time Too many people came to the Lakers life and death battle...

Stern figured it was almost over when the official staff arrived;

Auerbach, who has not appeared in the Finals for a long time, also came to the Lakers' home court in person to supervise the game this time;

The Lakers management led by West was naturally present, and the Buss family was here tonight. Old Buss and his two children, Jim and Jenny, who are responsible for the Lakers affairs, were also present to watch the game.

As for Malone, Stockton, and Mourning, they were ‘bought’ by O’Neal to become his personal cheerleaders;

Only Jordan and his team will stand by Li Shengli tonight, because the Lakers still have his good friend Barkley, and after a defeat, Barkley, who is preparing to retire, has suffered a complete defeat in his career, so tonight will... decide on Barkley Part of the career height determines Li Shengli's Triple Crown, determines the Lakers' rivalry battle, and determines the results of a season's efforts by dozens of players on both teams.

…

Here they come, they're all out!

At this time, in the 'Players Zone' in the auditorium, people immediately became excited when they saw Hu Kai and Hu Kai on the stage. But everyone else was fine. Everyone turned their attention to Li Shengli and O'Neal on the court.

Damn it, are you finally here? Kidd was very excited.

Why do I feel more excited than when I play the game? Mourning took a deep breath to calm down.

Because you haven't played in the finals, brother!

Malone patted Mourning, but Mourning looked extremely dark and said with a cold face: Come on, our purpose is the same, cheer for Shaq, after all, they have given benefits, and as for Li... … He has too many champions, too many bad guys and unsociable ones, so today, our operation is codenamed Bring Lee Back to Us!

What else can you say?

Quick, Shaq gave the signal, get high!

I'm the first... Hey, Shaq, hit him, kill Lee!

Shaq, come on, our brothers support you!

Go ahead, Shaq, Kevin, you will be the championship tonight, keep working hard!

When a group of people yelled like this, the people in Jordan not far away were dumbfounded and lamented that they were a group of plastic brothers. On the court, O'Neal ran beside Li Shengli without saying a word. He raised his hand to the cheers of the plastic brothers. Stop as soon as you drop your hand, and come as soon as you raise your hand!

…

Hey, yo, yo, yo, Ivy Barty, get excited! O'Neal went crazy.

Fuck, can you get out of here? Li Shengli also went crazy.

That won't work. Today is our big day, it must be grand!

Our big day? Li Shengli glared and thought... What, are you celebrating your birthday and want me to celebrate it for you? You are not my son. Do I think of you as my brother, and you think of me as your father?

Go away, 'we' is not you and me, it's me and Kevin. It's our big day!

Your big day? Li Shengli glared again, thinking... What, you guys are getting married. Garnett regards you as his brother, and you want to take Garnett as his wife?

That's right, I'll sweep you all away, tonight!

Damn, I'm not kidding, if I don't poop out for you tonight, I'll count on you to poop clean!

Uh...this is a bit difficult to understand! O'Neill was stunned for a moment, unable to understand this way of expression.

No need to understand, get out of here, the game is about to begin!

…

After getting rid of the clingy O'Neal, Li Shengli calmed down.

At this time, the head coaches of both sides had sent the starting list for the fourth game to the technical desk. Malone and others took a look at the list, looked at each other, and nodded. After all, they had already played three games, and there would be no more starting games. Nothing comes of it.

Celtics starting lineup... O'Neal, Garnett, Pierce, Miner, Burrows.

This lineup has not changed. The focus is on the linkage effect of the first three people, and the effect is more detailed: O'Neal's free throws, Garnett's big jumpers, and Pierce's big sudden shots.

As for the Lakers starting lineup...Li Shengli, Barkley, Fox, Kobe, and Nick.

Harris has suffered a lot and gained wisdom. Harris has been criticized a bit miserably recently, so the start of this life-and-death battle is set to be very routine. Before, he didn't want to tie the victory or defeat to Li Shengli alone, but now he found that The only person who can be relied on and stable is Li Shengli.

Harris is not the only one who has this idea, and the five Lakers players gathered together to communicate before the game, including Kobe and Barkley. All four of them were looking at Li Shengli, and Li Shengli was also looking at his four teammates.

Lee, I will pull away from Garnett in a moment. You must be careful with O'Neal. I can't lose. I will never lose. You know what I want. Compared to this despair, I would rather die here! Barkley was obviously in a daze, and Li Shengli was worried about his dangerous state.

Brother, let's think about it differently, how much is the championship worth after a desperate comeback? Your ring will be more precious than everyone else's, and now you are not leading the team alone. I am here, Kobe is here, Nick and Fox are here They are here too, just hold on, you will be the one to fight in the next three games. Li Shengli gave the uncomfortable Barkley a bear hug and turned to look at Nick.

Nick, I don't need to tell you how to fight this, you need to be braver!

Fox, if you can take a shot after catching the ball, take a shot if you don't have the ball, then set a pick-and-roll for Kobe!

And you...Kobe, as the boss of the team, you have to take responsibility for losing. I'm glad you are not tonight, so you can fight, I will always be behind you. Even if you hit the iron 10,000 times, I will still be there. We can get you eight thousand frontcourt boards, this is our only chance.

If we win tonight, we may not be able to win in the end.

But if we lose tonight, I don't think I need to say more!

As for now, I will be in the restricted area directly. Everyone... I am the strongest today!
