Bulldozer of the NBA’s Restricted Area

Chapter 14 The First Strong Enemy

In the United States, the NCAA basketball program has a high degree of attention.

Dongka University played against Tulane University. Although it was just an ordinary regular season, the technical statistics after the game still aroused heated discussions among fans, because Li Shengli, who came off the bench for Dongka, was so dazzling.

"Dongka ushered in a savior, Li Shengli scored 13 rebounds in 5 minutes! --Greenville Daily News.

"Rebound Monster Haunted, Dongka beat Duran in the first game! "--Lowry Pioneer News.

"Salted fish turned over? ! Dongka University reaped victory in the restricted area God Li! - Apex Daily Mail.

...

After the game, the news media rushed to report and praise Li Shengli's five-minute performance, and Dongka bishop Eddie also realized that his arrangement for Li Shengli was not appropriate.

There is nothing wrong with the idea of ​​wanting to surprise the opponent with the trump card in his hand, but Eddie obviously overestimated the overall strength of the team.

Li Shengli is certainly a sharp dagger inside, but the entire team is as weak as a baby, and they can't even hold the dagger steadily. How can they kill every eye-catching opponent?

So Eddie completely changed his mind.

On the one hand, the overall training of the team has been strengthened, and on the basis of Li Shengli's stable rebounding, the team's outside firepower has been improved.

On the other hand, Eddie's training for Li Shengli is more strict, but this is a gradual process, and it is impossible to make a quick progress in a short time, so he finally put Li Shengli on the team's starting list and improved through actual combat.

According to Eddie's estimate... Dongka University, which sent Li Shengli as the starting center, is fully qualified to compete for the quarterfinals.

As for whether he can hit the championship of the division, or even hit March Madness, it depends on Li Shengli's growth rate in actual combat!

...

In the next game, Li Shengli's performance gave Eddie hope.

Against the Temple University Owls, a 66:53 victory!

Against the Golden Hurricanes of the University of Tulsa, they narrowly won 70:66!

Against the Wichita State University Reapers, 68:67 lore!

In just two weeks, including Tulane University, East Carolina University won four consecutive victories, which really attracted the attention of fans.

Although the opponents were not strong, after four games, Li Shengli, who averaged 19 rebounds per game, caught everyone's attention and turned into a rebounding machine.

However, in the eyes of the fans, East Carolina University's luck is almost over, because they are about to host the University of Connecticut Huskies next.

...

Speaking of the University of Connecticut in recent years, it is definitely a star team and the biggest favorite for the division championship.

In terms of internal strength, the University of Connecticut is only above the middle level in the entire NCAA team. It is not outstanding, but it can ensure that they will not be exploded, but their outside line has unparalleled dominance. Few opponents can withstand the University of Connecticut. outside bombing.

Just last season, UConn made it all the way to the Elite Eight for March Madness.

In the quarter-finals, against the NCAA giants Duke University, they did not lose at all. In the end, they lost 78:79 by one point and missed the final four. But even if it stops at the elite eight, no one doubts that the University of Connecticut has the strength to hit the NCAA championship. After all, the opponent can be Duke University!

From everyone's point of view, playing against a strong team like the University of Connecticut is really bad luck for East Carolina.

...

weekend.

East Carolina University vs Connecticut.

Because East Carolina is home and the opponent is the strong University of Connecticut, the stadium is full of fans watching the game.

The referee whistled, and the game started with the sound of the gong.

jump ball!

Successfully becoming the starting center, Li Shengli easily put the ball into the hands of his teammate Alan despite his height, and launched the first round of offense.

It has to be said that after four consecutive victories and two weeks of high-intensity training, Li Shengli and his teammates cooperated more and more tacitly. After a pick-and-roll, Alan made a smooth shot, and Li Shengli went down to the basket.

Boom!

Although the shot was good, Alan didn't hit the first pitch.

Just as the basketball fell and the opponent's center took off, Li Shengli jumped at the same time, stealing the rebound from the opponent's head first.

"Shit, this is East Carolina's rebounding monster?" Just in the first round of rebounding, the Connecticut center felt the pressure from Li Shengli.

Not only is his height suppressed, but his jumping ability is obviously also lagging behind by a large margin. Coupled with Li Shengli's amazing wingspan of 241 cm, just talking about this rebound, even if he pinpoints the exact position and timing of the jump, he is still powerless. Lee wins the fight.

Li Shengli, who took the rebound, quickly passed to the outside line, and Brook hit a three-pointer to open the door.

...

"This guy's physical fitness is as expected, it's terrifyingly strong!" An assistant coach frowned at the coaching bench of the University of Connecticut.

"It doesn't matter, I prepared well before the game. Think about it...Although this guy showed a strong rebounding ability, he basically didn't take any shots in the previous four games. Don't you think it's a little strange?" University of Connecticut The head coach didn't care.

It has to be said that the ability of this team coach is very strong.

You must know that no matter how strong the soldiers are, without a commander, they will be in a state of disunity after all. With a brilliant commander, the soldiers are even weaker, and it is possible to turn the tables and counterattack their opponents.

Last season, the reason why the University of Connecticut was able to reach the NCAA Elite Eight and almost upset Duke University was that in addition to the strong players in hand, the head coach's formation is the key. level of coaching.

"That's right, it's true that he seldom takes shots. According to the intelligence analysis we have, this guy seems to be quite scientific and doesn't have any offensive capabilities!"

"Listen, this is simply the best news, isn't it? Without offensive ability, he can't involve our inside line and give his teammates a chance to break through the basket!"

"As long as we firmly nail him to this point and defend the rebound, how can those little guys from the perimeter of Dongka be our opponents?" The head coach smiled, as if seeing the dawn of victory.

The facts are indeed as he said.

Looking at the first four games, the overall shooting percentage of Dongka University can only be regarded as barely noticeable. The reason why they won all four games is entirely due to Li Shengli's second offense after grabbing rebounds, and using far more shots than his opponent. Pull opponents off their horses.

However, the disadvantages of Dongka are too obvious. As long as Li Shengli, who has no offensive ability, is slightly suppressed, Dongka's outside line will fall apart.

The shooting rate of the Eastka team is obviously unable to compete with Connecticut, which is famous for its outside bombing.
