Bulldozer of the NBA’s Restricted Area

Sweeped 3:0, the Mavericks stopped in the first round.

The depression that was originally expected due to the defeat did not bother the Mavericks for too long, because the Mavericks have reached their current limit, and there is no need to worry about something that has happened afterwards, just like in this world. There is no regret pill.

Li Shengli just watched with peace of mind as a group of old friends competed in the playoffs.

…

The Jazz were the first to advance in the Western Conference. They attracted a lot of attention because of their two consecutive championships. Their sweep of the Mavericks in the first round proved their ability to win the championship. Many fans believe that...the Jazz may usher in a third championship. Trophy.

How great is the hope, how great is the disappointment.

The Jazz, who performed brilliantly in the first round, faced the Houston Rockets in the second round, who had cleaned up their lineup this season. They had Olajuwon, a top center, on the inside. Compared to the Jazz, they even had an advantage inside, and they had a glider, Drexel, on the outside. Le, even if he is approaching the end of his career, he still has strong enough offensive ability.

Although the Rockets sent away Thorpe, the new generation of No. 4 Robert Horry has grown to the point where he can help Olajuwon. Coupled with the role players who are not weak... this lineup combination is simply Li Shengli dreams of it, and the results are obvious to all.

Big score 3:4!

The Jazz failed to realize their ambition and were eliminated in the second round behind the Mavericks.

…

Damn it, you used so much strength when you hit us, where did all the strength go when you hit the rocket?

Li Shengli watched the Jazz game from beginning to end, and the more he watched, the angrier he became. Although he was eliminated early, it did not mean that he expected the Jazz to also exit the stage. This sense of expectation was like... losing to a championship team. It’s not a shame, but it’s a shame to lose to a second-round team.

With the Jazz in trouble, Li Shengli no longer wants to watch the Western Conference war, and has set his sights on the Magic and O'Neal in the Eastern Conference.

If we want to judge the two teams that have made the most progress in the Eastern and Western Conferences this season, the Eastern Conference belongs to the Magic and the Western Conference belongs to the Mavericks. The Magic are really doing well in the Eastern Division.

Defeat the Boston Celtics 3:1 in the first round.

In the second round, they defeated the Cleveland Cavaliers 4:1.

They met the Pacers in the Eastern Conference Finals and advanced to the Finals with a 4:3 win. But here in the Western Conference... the Rockets overturned the Spurs 2:4 in the Western Conference Finals and successfully joined the Magic in this season's finals.

…

how so?

Is O'Neal going to win the championship?

Li Shengli admitted that the Magic are fierce, but he really didn't expect that they would be so fierce. They would advance directly to the finals and reach a new historical height for the Orlando Magic. However... compared to the Rockets, Li Shengli still hopes that the Magic can win, even if Olajuwon has been waiting for this championship all his life!

However, the opposite happened.

The young Magic seemed to have exerted too much force in the previous rounds. O'Neal, as the first core of the Magic, was beaten to death by the cunning Olajuwon. Even Li Shengli could feel O'Neal's despair on the court, which was worse than his loss to the Jazz. The despair is even worse.

4:0 in the finals, the Magic were swept!

…

From heaven to hell, the magic of rapid transformation only took a week, because the time span of the four games was exactly seven days, and Olajuwon, who had been waiting for a lifetime, got his wish and won his first championship trophy and finals MVP.

It is a pity that Olajuwon failed to achieve a single-season Grand Slam, because the regular season MVP of the 94-95 season announced before the finals was Li Shengli.

The regular season MVP is here!

Li Shengli ranks second in the single-season scoring list, rebounding list, and blocks list. It may not matter if you look at one alone, but ranking second in all three is enough to prove the comprehensiveness of the data, plus the Mavericks this season. The record is excellent, and there is no criticism about this lottery.

It's just that the Rookie of the Year award that season was a bit strange, as Grant Hill and Jason Kidd won the award at the same time.

What is the operation of riding a horse?

Li Shengli was dissatisfied. When he thought about this, he thought of O'Neal and him fighting for the Rookie of the Year award. But this time it was Hill and Kidd who shared the Rookie of the Year award.

Why are you here so early?

If I were to share it with O'Neal, would O'Neal be allowed to keep complaining about it?

While cursing the official NC, Li Shengli was really surprised by this mysterious operation, because objectively speaking... Kidd's data is really not as good as Hill's.

…

19.9 points, 6.4 rebounds, 5 assists, and 1.8 steals were Hill's averages per game that season.

11.7 points, 5.4 rebounds, 7.7 assists, and 1.9 steals are Kidd's averages per game.

To be honest, unlike when Li Shengli and O'Neal were indistinguishable, once the two data were compared, it was clear that Kidd was at a disadvantage, but the final result was that Kidd and Hill shared the Rookie of the Year award.

This does not rule out the factor that the team's record soared after Kidd joined the Mavericks, but more conspiracy theorists believe... Is the league trying to raise a hand against Dallas? And think about the mysterious trade last season that sent Li Shengli to the Mavericks. This is a real signal flare.

However, it is inevitable for business leagues to pursue profits, and developing the ball market in Dallas is also in line with the development trend of the league, and more fans will not think about it at all, so the incident of the two sharing the best rookie this season did not cause much waves. .

…

Back to the topic.

In any case, the third season of Li Shengli's career is over.

The current Dallas Mavericks are in the run-up stage of taking off, and there will definitely be an injection of fresh blood next season, but Li Shengli, as the core of the team, will definitely not move.

It doesn't matter how the management strengthens them, as long as they take action, because the Mavericks, who are struggling, are right no matter which position they need to supplement.

Of course, in order to maximize the reinforcement effect, the fourth power forward is definitely the best choice, and in the upcoming draft... the management has basically locked in several rookie selections.

Everyone knows that the best result for the Mavericks is to package and trade up with two signings. However, there is uncertainty in this matter. Whether it can be negotiated with the target team is a question, so the management must have a first choice in the alternative plan. Selection arrangements in the middle and later stages of the draft.

But no matter what, there will definitely be gains. Li Shengli is quite satisfied with this result.

It would be best to have a younger brother with a high pick. Rasheed Wallace, who is predicted to be in the top five, is the first choice. Kevin Garnett, who is predicted to be about the same, may even have greater potential, because high school students Having such a high degree of predicted pick proves that there is still something in the stomach, even if it is a young boy?

No matter what happens, it would be fine to bring in two first-round rookies to fill the third and fourth positions. It would also be good to not fill the starting lineup and fill the bench. At least Gordon, the head coach, will have many more choices.

Think about it this way, no matter what, the Mavericks next season will be stronger than they are now, at least they won't be swept in the first round again.

…

Something happened here.

The league has entered the offseason. Since he has stayed here after last season, Li Shengli has prepared a plan to return to China to visit relatives this time. To be honest, it is more because his original agent, Old Turner, stole so much money from him. After knocking him back to the state of poverty, he had to see...where did all the money go? Why can't he just get in but not get out?
