Bulldozer of the NBA’s Restricted Area

November 5th.

The much-anticipated Leo battle started at the Reunion Arena in Dallas. This was the Mavericks’ first home court since its founding and continues to this day. Compared with other teams, this home court is a bit shabby. Not only is the size shabby, but also the location. For such an exciting game, the attendance rate before the start was only 80%.

You know, the number of seats in the home games of other teams is generally around 20,000, while the number of seats in the Tuanyuan Stadium is only 18,000. The 80% attendance rate is only a little over 70% for other teams. This is also reflected in the side... The NBA doesn't take much of the cake in Dallas at this time.

…

During the pre-game mobilization, Dick Motta was full of passion. In fact, this head coach has been in a state of excitement since the Mavericks training camp. His mental outlook and passionate speeches, aside from his identity as head coach, he is completely the head of an illegal pyramid scheme. .

The game was approaching and after the debut ceremony, Li Shengli finally met O'Neal for the first time since leaving his home nest. However, O'Neal probably heard the news about Ewing's filming, and his face was very ugly, so he got together with Li Shengli.

"Li, these bastards want to make us miserable!"

"Nonsense, you think I don't know?" Li Shengli was about to cry without tears. You must know that Ewing and his gang completed the filming of the movie during the offseason. At that time, the news was too low and no one noticed. But now... this ghost movie is It's almost scheduled to be released.

"Basketball Monster, Fortress of the Earth? Shit, what a bullshit name, I can't stand it anymore!" O'Neal said angrily: "Lee, do you want to make a movie? Let's make one too. Wait until next offseason for me and Come with you!"

"Making a movie? Are you sure you got it right?"

"Of course you're right. Those bastards Spike and Ewing have already taken action. There's no reason why we're still being beaten here!"

"Gungungun, why don't I have some spare time to train?"

"It's different. We can't lose to those bastards in any aspect, not for the rest of our lives!" O'Neal said firmly: "Start preparations this season. I thought of the name of the movie last night."

"???"

"Pure Heart·Chasing Dreams in the Entertainment Industry, Completely Comparing to the Earth Fortress!"

"Damn it, this name... it sounds so bad when you hear it!"

"fart!"

"And you have nothing to do with basketball. This is a science fiction film, but you are..."

"We are going to enter the entertainment industry, and this name is just right. And why does it have to do with basketball? As long as the villain is Ewing and his gang, I have already thought of the plot... I am the first male, you are the second male, before For 10 minutes, the villains are trying to steal women from us, and we punch them one by one, and then the next 80 minutes focus on describing the love story between me and the heroine. How about this action, romance, and ethical masterpiece, a super movie that will definitely be a box office hit! "

…

At this moment, Li Shengli really disliked O'Neal!

10 minutes of fighting?

80 minutes also focuses on describing the love story between you and the heroine?

Are you sure someone would be willing to pay for a ticket to watch this kind of ghost movie?

Talking about action, romance, ethical masterpieces, talking about love stories, I think you just want to make X-rated movies, shameless!

"Li, what do you think, think about it?"

"roll!"

"You shouldn't treat a great screenwriter like that!"

"Brother, get out of here, okay?"

"If you keep doing this, I'll be really angry, but don't blame me for not giving you face for a while!"

"Please, beat me to death. Beat me to death, and I won't make a movie with you. It's a shame!"

"Shit, this is what you said!" O'Neal glared, "If I win today's game, you will agree to make this great movie with me. Don't worry about other things, my agent will find you When the film company goes to talk, just tell me, do you dare?"

"You're forcing me to pound you, brother!"

"Then you must have this ability!"

…

Beep!

As soon as the whistle blew, the first game of the regular season between the two sides finally started.

The Magic's starting lineup includes center Shaquille O'Neal, power forward Denis Scott, small forward Donald Loyer, point guard Anfernee Hardaway, and shooting guard Nick Anderson.

The Mavericks' new starting lineup includes center Li Shengli, power forward Doug Smith, small forward Po'opye Jones, point guard Jason Kidd, and shooting guard Dell Curry.

Comparing the lineups of the two sides, leaving aside Li Shengli and O'Neal, leaving aside the third and fourth positions, the Mavericks still suffer from the comparison of the backcourt combinations of the two sides.

The offensive backcourt composed of Hardaway and Anderson, their performance last season is very telling. They averaged around 16 points per game, 2+ steals, 6+ rebounds, and 5+ average points per game. assists.

It's not scary to be omnipotent. What's scary is that these two people are all-powerful and have provided O'Neal with great help.

On the other hand, look at the Mavericks.

Curry averaged 16.3 points, 3.2 rebounds, 2.7 assists, and 1.2 steals per game last season, which was much weaker than Hardaway and Anderson. But in fact... Curry, the best sixth man last season, was The playing time was only 26.5 minutes, but Ha and An both reached 36+.

From this point of view, Curry is definitely not weak, and another backcourt partner Kidd...

This game is Li Shengli's first appearance with the Mavericks, and it is also Kidd's rookie debut. However, compared with his opponents, Kidd's debut this time is uncertain. No one can compare him with those who have already achieved results. Players to compare.

…

During the jump ball stage, O'Neal, perhaps extremely eager to make a great X-rated movie, burst out with all his energy and made a successful jump ball with a tiger dive, which surprised Li Shengli, and the Magic attacked in the first round.

"Well done, Boss Shaq!"

"See how I can eat unlimited amounts of food today!"

Hardaway was extremely excited when he saw Li Shengli deflated at the beginning. He ran forward with the ball and slapped O'Neal in the face with a rainbow fart. O'Neal became excited after being beaten. The high pick-and-roll allowed Hardaway to break into the paint and turned around to think. Cut straight to the basket.

Cutting to the basket?

How can I let you cut to the basket!

Referring to others, Li Shengli knew that if O'Neal were in his place, catching the ball under the basket and trying to attack, not even a god could stop him. If he can do it, O'Neal can do it too... Especially in the offseason, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar spared no effort. The training has improved the stability of this product a lot.

The current situation is...even if Hardaway is released, O'Neal cannot be released!

On Hardaway's side, Mavericks forward Jones is relatively close and can cover up defense. If Li Shengli attacks Hardaway, he really can't let his inside partner Doug Smith carry O'Neal. This thing is like going to death. !

So, Li Shengli instantly activated and directly resisted O'Neal's line. After some friction, the two brothers became hard...muscles, yes, muscles!

To be honest, the Magic's offense in this round is easy to interpret. As long as Jones can block Hardaway's first wave of attacks, the Magic will have to withdraw and reorganize. The danger is resolved instantly. Li Shengli doesn't feel the need to remind his teammates.

However... Jones' ability to read the game was a bit awkward. His defensive movements were half a beat slow, and he was shot in the face by Hardaway and scored the first goal.

…

Just one ball!

Li Shengli didn't take it seriously and led a counterattack.

Kidd controlled the ball for the first time in an official NBA game, and his experience in the NCAA prevented him from stage fright. First, he took a few steps inside under Curry's pick-and-roll, and then immediately passed the ball to Li Shengli, who ran out of the open space. .

This opportunity was fleeting, and Kidd seized it. Although O'Neal was still pestering Li Shengli, Li Shengli's position after receiving the ball was perfect. He nodded past the excited O'Neal and gave the ball away with a small hook. Into the basket.

He's a ball player!

A smile appeared on Li Shengli's face, because the ball was so comfortable, and he didn't have to fight O'Neal in a big, physical effort. Instead, he knew the subtleties. As a point guard, Kidd was really good.

"This kid can do it!"

"I don't think he can do it. It's just a pass. Don't praise him too much!"

O'Neal glanced at Kidd, making Hardaway a little jealous, but Li Shengli listened and cursed at Hardaway, "He can't do it, but you can? You kid, be careful, don't force me to practice alone with you for a while!"

threaten me?

He threatened me!

Hardaway looked at O'Neal with tears in his eyes, as if asking for help, and O'Neal straightened his waist, "Stop talking nonsense, let's play a few games first, otherwise... why should this kid compare with Hardaway?!"

"Go away, you are not even worth a hair of my people!"

Li Shengli cursed again and led the team back to the defense in a hurry. Kidd had just listened to the truth. Although there was no communication when he returned to the defense, he was still a little touched... Li Shengli actually said, Hardaway didn't even bother me. Not as good as root hair? !

So wild?

If you keep doing this, I will risk my life to pass the ball to you!
