Bulldozer of the NBA’s Restricted Area

Before the All-Star Game, the Jazz's record was 44 wins and 5 losses, reaching an astonishing 26 consecutive victories.

To be honest, before Stockton was injured, the Big Three were really trying to tease each other. They got off to a good start at the beginning of the season. However, after the battle with the Knicks, the main players were injured and suspended, which led to the Jazz's winning streak. Interval.

Fortunately, with the rematch of the main force, the Jazz's momentum continued unabated. They defeated three players in the next week, making it 29 consecutive games. The inside combination of Li Shengli and Malone is still terrifying, and the terrifying 29 consecutive victories are on the way. Impacting the 33-game winning streak set by the original wealthy team the Lakers.

However, things are always progressing. The Lakers' 33-game winning streak in the early 1970s was not as valuable as it is now. Not only were there few teams, but the completeness of the entire basketball system was also not ideal. Therefore, whether the Jazz can succeed in their 30-game winning streak is entirely up to them. The biggest highlight after the star game.

As for the trade deadline shortly after the All-Star Game, there were not many disturbances. The most popular one was probably the trade between the Hawks and the Clippers. The Hawks traded Wilkins to the Clippers' Danny Manning. No one cares what the team's reasons are.

As for Jazz.

Although Stockton is basically out for the season, the Jazz urgently need to find an economical and practical player to fill the role, but in fact... this job is not that easy to do. On the one hand, there are no suitable players and they do not have any on hand. A suitable trading chip. On the other hand, the Jazz's current salary has exceeded the salary cap. The cost of finding a player to temporarily replace Stockton far exceeds the benefits of this operation plan.

Therefore, at this stage, the Jazz still have Li Shengli and Malone teaming up to dominate the interior, waiting for Stockton's return. In the journey to 30 consecutive victories, almost every team in the league seems determined to intercept a player. Wave.

…

On February 21st, the Jazz arrived in Boston.

The Celtics team has a formidable background. With 16 championships in hand and an unprecedented eight consecutive championships, the Celtics occupy a pivotal position in NBA history.

However, dynasties always fail. The Celtics, who have always been a regular in the Eastern Conference playoffs, are not having an easy time this season. They are currently fifth in the Eastern Conference. The root cause of all this is...the number one scoring grenade that was cultivated by one hand. Kat Lewis died unexpectedly of a heart attack at the beginning of the season.

Reggie Lewis averaged 20.8 points, 4.3 rebounds, 3.7 assists, 1.5 steals, and 1 block per game last season. Based on this data alone, he is definitely the Celtics' leading general and an NBA first-line all-around star. Without him, The Celtics are really not a strong team, allowing everyone to see the dawn of the Jazz's 30-game winning streak.

In the Jazz locker room before the game.

"Li, let me be the main attacker in this game!" Malone lay down and received a pre-match foot massage from the team's technician, even though the technician's nose was wrinkled and he was about to suffocate from a pair of big smelly feet.

"Can you do it? There are several others ahead of you. It seems not easy for you to win the scoring title." Li Shengli curled his lips.

"Don't talk nonsense. I've sacrificed so much this season and helped you take down Larry Johnson. You have the heart not to help me?" Ma Long looked at Li Shengli with affection. "You're going to have to do it all this season." You have the rebounding champion and the blocked shot champion, and you have no chance to be the scoring champion for the time being. If you don’t help me win the scoring champion, are you still a human being?”

As Malone said, Li Shengli currently averages 18.3 rebounds per game. The second-ranked rebounder is Rodman with 17.3. As for averaging 4.5 blocks per game, he is also ranked first. The second-ranked player is Muto of the Denver Nuggets. Mbo's 4.1. Not surprisingly, this season's two kings were contracted in advance.

If Stockton is here, the assists leader this season will not be lost. The Jazz can have three kings. Obviously Stockton can't do it, and Malone has a "malicious intention" and wants to have a scoring champion printed on his personal resume. .

The competition for the scoring title is fierce now.

Jordan was first with 30.1 points, General second with 29.8 points, O'Neal was third with 29.6 points, and Malone was fourth with 29.2 points. With less than half of the season still on the schedule, it's hard to say who will win the scoring title, because the top four are all competing. Achieved within 1 point.

Needless to say, Jordan, even as the Bulls' leading scorer, is very fucked up to have seven consecutive scoring championships. However, compared with the previous season, this season is the most suspenseful because the general is chasing too closely.

As for O'Neal, after a season of hard work, this guy has become more and more adapted to the NBA environment. This season, he has exploded into a small universe, scoring 29.6 points as the core of the Magic inside.

As for the general, with Rodman, the hard-working coolie power forward, his offense was liberated, and this season was the closest he came to the scoring title, and he fought hard in every game.

Back to Jazz…

The situation here is somewhat similar to that of the Spurs. The only difference is that Li Shengli will be more comprehensive and powerful than Rodman. Therefore, as long as the Jazz are willing to sacrifice shots and score to help Malone while winning the game, Malone has hope of scoring. Wang's, and the one most promising to win the regular season MVP.

As for whether Li Shengli was willing to sacrifice, Ma Long didn't have to think about it, because he knew that... no matter how hard Li Shengli played, he would still give him a lift.

…

"Shit, what do you think is going on with Shaq?" Malone said angrily, because it was O'Neal who was third in points per game and stood in front of Malone.

"How do I know? This guy is getting stronger and stronger. If I can raise Hardaway, the water in the East will be muddy. Maybe he can reach the Eastern Conference Finals this season." Li Shengli shook his head, "But even if you surpass Now that you have Shaq, you still have Robinson and Jordan ahead of you."

"Whatever, let's play against the Celtics today. It's still the same old rule, take advantage first. If you have an advantage, let me score. I must win the scoring title this season."

"Scam? Are you really afraid of the fans scolding you for being a scoundrel?"

"Fuck you, how do you think the scoring champion came? If you really want to be serious, who is not a swipe?" Malone said disdainfully: "Also... John is missing the assists champion, what's wrong with me getting the scoring champion?"

"It's up to you. There are still 30 games in the regular season this season. Whether you succeed or not depends on you."

"30 games is enough. It's best to meet someone from Ewing's side, otherwise it won't be enough. It's best to play like an All-Star Game."

Not enough?

Where did these violent elements come from?

Li Shengli was convinced by Ma Long's bellicosity.

In the All-Star Game, Larry Johnson was elbowed and concussed and was out for 5 games. Kemp hugged and threw O'Neal, and there were constant conflicts. In view of the special nature of the All-Stars, I have never seen an All-Star who can still fight. , the official punishment for this after the game was only a fine, not a suspension, which can be regarded as a major matter reduced to a trivial matter.

As a result, both Malone and Kemp were bled, but the most serious ones were Li Shengli and O'Neal, because they had to pay for the damage to the stadium facilities... O'Neal paid for the electronic advertising screen that exploded, and Li Shengli paid for the ones that were blown up. The cameras, and what’s more damning, even a few chairs on the Eastern Conference bench were on the ticket.

However, compared to the fine, Ewing's side is really aggrieved.

He came with great momentum and retreated in disgrace.

This chaotic All-Star class ended with Ewing at a disadvantage. But even if someone retires from this dispute, there will be fresh blood joining the battle. And when those who come later recall this terrifying history, the only evaluation they can give is one……

No matter who is involved in this turmoil, their life is a life of fighting, with a beginning but no end.
