Bulldozer of the NBA’s Restricted Area

The Lakers scored in the opening game, and it was the 76ers' turn to attack.

According to Phil Jackson's arrangement before the game, the Lakers' defensive focus is to take care of Iverson's breakthrough, because now the whole league knows... The 76ers only have Iverson as their main offensive point. In layman's terms, it is both fast and cool, and as long as The basket came in front of him, allowing him to see a route. As soon as he took a breath, he started to reach the basket.

This is very difficult to defend.

If it's too late, Iverson can directly score a layup; if it's too late, it won't work, because Iverson can also commit fouls. Last season, he averaged 10 free throws per game, but those were all done by a small number one pick who worked hard and was not afraid of falling at all.

This is why Phil Jackson asked Artest and Crotty to play together, trying to prevent Iverson from breaking into the paint, but it didn't have the effect for the time being... because Iverson faced Crotty. , a drastic change of direction and extremely fast speed, directly breaking through the defense, and Crotty even suspected that this man could hold the ball faster than running on a horse.

Ben's offensive shortcomings meant that Li Shengli didn't need to focus too much on defense, so when Iverson came in, Li Shengli was already in position, and at this moment...

Iverson had a headache when he saw Li Shengli, so he directly passed the ball in the air and passed it to power forward Te'lon Hill on the other side. Li Shengli also had a headache when he saw Iverson. He was fast, capable of breaking, and Defenders who can commit fouls and assists are very troublesome, because Te'lon Hill takes action immediately after getting the ball, and he has no way to stop him.

Until the next few attacks.

Iverson did nothing else. Although he occasionally made jump shots, he mostly made breakthroughs. And there is no possibility that a small man can knock over the inside players. He basically just fell to the ground and got up. Rush, if you can't rush in, make a foul, if you can't make a foul, pass the ball and assist.

Although the entire 76ers only have one line, this style of play is still very efficient.

As for the Lakers...

Li Shengli no longer needs the ball to play his role, nor does he need to concentrate the ball to play statistics. He only appears where he is needed on both offense and defense, and more often helps new players grow, helps with the ball, and so on.

However, this game was obviously different. Li Shengli took the initiative to ask for the ball uncharacteristically, and played in low singles.

At the beginning, back-up play and defense against back-up play were the main subjects of Li Shengli and Da Ben's training. This was the basis for center single defense, and Da Ben focused on studying the rhythm of Li Shengli's confrontation, but... when he met Li Shengli, Da Ben was a bit disgusting. Li Shengli took advantage of every collision.

When we played against the Celtics before, Ben defended O'Neal.

When O'Neal plays Ben, it feels like Li Shengli plays on the defensive end, because when the force of pushing out reaches the end, the center of gravity will actually shift forward, but Ben, like Li Shengli, is stuck at the last point of exertion.

Although it is possible to advance by hitting a few more waves, the problem is... the new 5-second back-up rule has just been implemented, and the rules are still relatively strict, so O'Neal is quite embarrassed.

The basket is close to the basket, and O'Neal's mid-range is failing every day.

However, the new rules did not give him any time at all. It was better to let his teammates take action in the mid-range, so it was understandable that he was beaten to a far lower than average 17 points per game.

The situations of Li Shengli and O'Neal are both similar and different.

With enough time, Li Shengli can push in, but it doesn't matter if he can't push in. It counts wherever he pushes, and the closer the better. If he grabs the rhythm of the confrontation, he can immediately hit a turnaround jumper.

…

Of course this is just a regular singles matchup.

When he was with the Lakers, Ben didn't think Crotty's passing was disgusting, but it's different now. No one in the entire 76ers could guess what Crotty was thinking. It looked like he was blind. The pass was the same, but Li Shengli was able to receive it and the position where he received it was good, either alley-ooping or turning and dunking.

As a result, Da Ben's face became darker and darker as he was beaten.

Throughout the first quarter... Sensing something strange about Li Shengli, Kobe ran around and gave up the ball.

In just one quarter, Li Shengli took 9 shots. He was in inexplicably good condition. He shot 6 of 9 and 2 of 2 free throws. On the backboard... the base position was not good, there was no frontcourt board at all, and he even had no backcourt. The court was invaded, allowing Li Shengli to add 7 rebounds in addition to 14 points in a single quarter.

…

What's going on?

I didn't expect that Li Shengli would be able to score 14 points in a single quarter today. Although he knew that it was difficult to defend and that Li Shengli and O'Neal had different styles, the problem was that 14+7 in a single quarter was too outrageous. If it lasted three quarters... then... Not allowed to hit 40+20 data?

So the game continued in the second quarter.

Iverson is still a shocking and fearless charge, but the help Ben gave him on the offensive end did not use the mid-range to open up the penalty area. In fact, the real meaning is to improve the 76ers' interior defensive strength. , Iverson gets his own points and the majority of his opponents' points.

But this time, Daben was the first to be unable to suppress him.

Li Shengli's ability to fire at any time and at any time made it impossible for him to do anything. As soon as the penalty area where he was sitting was empty, Kobe rushed out. Seeing the brave Iverson, he also gained fighting spirit and immediately charged wildly, partnering with Li Shengli to score points.

Throughout the second quarter, Ben completely collapsed. It felt like Li Shengli didn't recognize anyone when he pulled up his pants.

How could it be possible to fight so fiercely?

Is there any love for those who are still riding horses?

The 76ers won against the Celtics, but they immediately stopped playing against the Lakers. They lost by 14 points after the first half. The commentator of the live game scratched his head and suddenly realized.

The Lakers' general manager's office sent a big deal to the 76ers during the offseason. The 76ers immediately defeated the Celtics. What if the 76ers defeated a lot of players in the Eastern Conference and the Lakers had just reached the Finals? , then are the Lakers trying to capitalize on their enemies in disguise?

But after this fight, I realized that that was not the case.

Many people immediately suspected that West was making the decision because the Lakers were not afraid of this new group of 76ers, but the Celtics were... and this kind of operation was to exchange blood and exchange for themselves. People have time to plant bombs for the Celtics, who are regarded by the Lakers as their biggest opponent.

…

Crotty, Kobe, what's wrong with the boss? I didn't mess with him, did I? Before entering the midfield, Ben grabbed Kobe and Crotty with a look of confusion on his face, because Li Shengli continued to be irritable, and it was already 33+ at halftime. The data of 13 is much scarier than expected.

How do we know? Crotty shook his head.

Didn't you ask him out last night? Kobe asked: Did something happen last night? Where did you go?

Last night, Allen and I made an appointment with him to a bar! Big Pen almost scratched his head and couldn't figure out what went wrong last night.

Drinking? Doesn't he not drink?

Yes, he didn't drink what we drank. He drank boiled water. Is it because of this...

Just tell me who paid the bill!

Pay the bill? Ben was stunned for a moment, then turned to Iverson who was about to leave the game and return to the locker room and asked: Hey, Allen, we went to the bar last night, did you pay the bill?

Ah? Iverson was stunned, Didn't you pay for it?

Damn it, you didn't pay for it, and I didn't pay for it, so...who paid for it? Daben went crazy. He once tricked Li Shengli into giving him a meal subsidy of ten dollars as a joke during an away game, and when he got back...he just... Li Shengli's single training from early morning to dark made everyone lose weight.

That might be Li Bai, what's wrong? Iverson asked.

Alan, I...I might have gotten into trouble!
