Bulldozer of the NBA’s Restricted Area

Mark, what are you doing?

You actually... actually slapped him?

Oh my god, you are... too fierce, aren't you?

Even Artest thinks Madsen is too cruel, because the only people he can think of who did such a thing on the court are Jordan and Oakley, two old hooligans. Even Artest thinks this is cruel, and even more so. Not to mention Fisher, maybe Li Shengli didn't expect such an incident.

Nonsense, didn't we agree to fuck Bruce Bowen whenever he makes a little move! Madsen gritted his teeth and cursed: That son of a bitch, Kobe was knocked down by him, how can I just watch like that? To be honest , he has to thank me, because it was me who beat him, if the boss takes action...

Damn it...did you just take action after you saw it clearly? Li Shengli rolled his eyes.

Mark, actually, the thing that didn't happen with Bowen just now is my own problem. Kobe implicitly said that Madsen made a mistake.

Ah? Madsen touched his head and looked embarrassed. He glanced at the Spurs next to him and asked, Wrong shot? Impossible. He was the one I hit on horseback. Who cares about him!

But it was a really wrong call! Kobe sighed.

I saw it. Bruce didn't make any extraordinary moves, and he didn't dare to do anything!

Yes, Mark, you really made the wrong call, cough... you unlucky kid!

Damn, what should I do? Should I go and apologize? Madsen was a little embarrassed, but he was still a good kid who knew his mistakes and wanted to correct them.

I think you should ask Li, he is in charge of such things! Kobe scratched his head and glanced at Li Shengli.

This...I think forget it. I've been beaten. According to his reputation, just treat it as killing harm for the people. Mark, just stop talking, otherwise he will think it is provocation, and he will do it again later. It's not good to act recklessly, let me tell you! To be honest, Li Shengli was also very embarrassed at this moment, but he still had to wipe Madsen's butt, so he could only ask Madsen to step back and walk two steps to the Spurs' station. He stepped forward and shouted to Bowen: Um...Bruce, I'm sorry, I typed it wrong just now!

…

Sorry, typo?

Artest and several of Kobe's teammates were struck by lightning on the spot. It felt like Li Shengli might not have apologized for hitting anyone many times in his life.

Damn, I have no experience at all!

Because this is a naked provocation!

The only good news is that this is Li Shengli's move, and Bowen dares to be angry but dare not speak out.

…

Can……

Can this horse-stepping mistake be made?

Is this apology... so sincere?

To be honest, Bowen's mentality was shattered. He looked like a bitter gourd. If it was the same as before, he would be beaten. But the problem is that he really didn't do anything. The people on the other side were too reckless, and At this time, Carter, who was eliminated in the first round, was also watching this game...with mixed emotions, wanting to laugh and cry at the same time.

He wanted to laugh because Bowen, who was pestering him like a ghost, was beaten. The two big-mouthed men were slapping him wildly, and he let out a strong breath of anger. He wanted to rush to San Antonio and yell at Bowen, why are you riding a horse today?

As for wanting to cry, it's because... there was nothing he could do about being kicked. But in comparison, the bullies in Los Angeles were much more domineering. The guy who was stepped on was beaten even if he didn't do anything, and there was a gap in treatment between him and Kobe. I can't watch it at all.

…

Back here in San Antonio.

As far as the brothers Robinson and Duncan are concerned... while they sympathize with Bowen, they also secretly feel that Bowen is not so unjust, because after all, he is a bad player and has hacked Kobe before, but unfortunately this time it happened. There was a misunderstanding, and he was buried directly in Los Angeles, which is known as the cemetery of bad players.

As for the final time of the game.

The Spurs suffered a double blow physically and psychologically. Although Madsen was kicked off the game, Duncan's environment was much better, but the 10-point difference and the Lakers' dual-core could not limit it, so the point difference could not be reduced as quickly as the game time. Until the end of the game...the Spurs still lost by 4 points in the fifth game.

…

But even if the Spurs lost, the Lakers still felt that the problem was not small.

You know, Duncan played so crazy in this playoffs. In the first game, he scored 26 points, 21 rebounds, 5 assists and 4 blocks. In this game, he scored 34+25, averaging 29 points, 17 rebounds, 4.6 assists and 3.2 blocks per game. With data like Duncan's... the Spurs may continue to be in the first tier of the Western Conference for a long time.

The team standing in the first echelon is actually not scary.

What is really scary is the stability of the Spurs. According to the already not weak lineup, if they get one or two key players, it will be difficult to suppress them. And this process may be very fast or very short, but no matter It's definitely not this season, because the Spurs are already out this season.

…

While waiting for the East and West finals.

There was no surprise when the Kings beat the Mavericks. The Kings also advanced 4:1. The Western Conference Finals were between the Kings and the Lakers. As for the Eastern Conference... there was no upset this year.

First, the Nets beat the 76ers 4:2 to advance.

Kidd averaged 18.4 points, 7 rebounds, 8 assists and 4.2 steals in 6 games. Li Shengli didn’t even know what Kidd did, because the combination of these data is considered excellent. If the four items are stacked together, it will be even more bizarre. If not If you just look at the name or the data, you can't tell whether he is playing inside or outside. And the most terrifying thing... Kidd's game effect is not fully reflected by the data.

The second is that the Celtics beat the Wizards and the Celtics advance.

The center matchup was O'Neal playing Yao.

Objectively speaking, as long as Dayao is not completely defeated, as long as he can achieve the effect of being partially suppressed, it is considered a success. After all, O'Neal is too brutal, and in the same six games... O'Neal averaged 39 minutes per game, 21.4 points, 12.2 rebounds and 3 assists. 3 blocks, Dayao averaged 15 points, 7.4 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 1.4 blocks in 37 minutes per game.

Comparing the two data, there is a big gap.

The key is that this is not O'Neal's best state. The Big Three are allocating more tilt to Garnett to beat Laettner. And if Li Shengli's second-round data of 26+18 is used, unless it is a shark-cutting tactic, Otherwise, O'Neal can reach it at full strength. In such a comparison, the gap will be even greater.

Of course, it is not appropriate to compare O'Neal's peak to Yao's rookie season. Although the Wizards lost this round, Washington fans still feel that the future is promising, because even if Jordan, who is making a comeback, has retired, the Yao-Mai combination It is also very likely to become the top combination in the league.

…

Back to the west.

The Lakers got a ticket to the Western Conference Finals, but their regular season ranking disadvantage gave the Kings an extra home court advantage. In addition, the Kings have always been regarded as a serious problem this season, so the first game on the 18th and the 16th The Lakers went to Sacramento.

Now we are only two rounds away from the championship.

The difference between this year and the past is that... they ran into trouble before they even broke out of the Western Conference. Although the Western Conference Finals had not yet been played, the Lakers still suffered a loss when they met the Kings in the regular season. They suffered because they did not make enough achievements on the defensive end.

It can be said that the Lakers' defense has always been in the first echelon of the league.

It's almost the same now, but the problem is that after encountering the Kings, the Kings almost had to carry the ball manually, and there were too many counter runs and passing balls. Artest's life was very difficult because he was slow and not adapted to this kind of situation. On defense, even the power forwards of Samaki and Madsen struggled, leaving the Lakers with many loopholes on the defensive end.

It's not a question of positive or negative at all.

In fact, if you want to play against the Kings, active defense is only the basis. In addition, you have to adapt to changes. But the Kings play with teamwork. Looking at their second round... If I really want to say that the statistics are top-notch, no, really no, on the contrary. The starting lineup is very balanced, and almost everyone is a scoring point, which makes the Lakers' defense more difficult.

So the Lakers who arrived in Sacramento immediately threw themselves into training.

In particular, Li Shengli has practiced more than others, because Adelman likes to use the center as the starting point for tactics, while Divac's first wave of offensive position does not rely on the basket at all, and he never forces Li Shengli, just as It is to organize the center near the free throw line and be the vision commander of the whole team.

However, Divac has a good mid-range shot.

To keep an eye on Divac, Li Shengli cannot set up defenses near the penalty area and look for opponents to block shots. If he wants to deal with the shooting opportunities created by the Kings' large-scale and high-frequency counter runs, Li Shengli alone cannot do it. He can only rely on The whole team worked together to block regardless of consumption.

Of course, achievements on the defensive end may not necessarily be effective.

What Li Shengli needs now is to open up the situation on offense, so before the game...Phil Jackson held a small meeting with Li Shengli and Kobe Bryant. The three discussed it and stood at the Kings home court on the 18th.
