Bulldozer of the NBA’s Restricted Area

In the second quarter, the Knicks continued to use the starting lineup because they suppressed the game at the beginning. The Mavericks made slight adjustments to the lineup and only replaced Jones with Crotty to enhance the flexibility of the lineup.

Still the same routine.

The Knicks' offense still uses Oakley to tear Garnett apart. Although Oakley is not the Knicks' strongest offense, this kind of thing also depends on the strength of the opponent's defense. It is difficult for Ewing to beat Lee and win. It was relatively easy for Klee to beat Garnett.

…

"Boy, haven't you suffered enough yet? You still dare to come up and guard me?" Oakley sneered and used all his strength to attack Garnett and squeeze into the penalty area. He didn't need the cooperation of his teammates or too many skills at all, relying solely on his body. Hit hard.

To be honest, this is how Oakley has always played. The technical moves are rough but very practical. He goes behind the referee's back and adds some personal tricks. Garnett's situation is almost the same as in the first quarter. He suffered a big hit from Oakley's back. , but was turned over and threw one, allowing it to hit successfully.

no way!

Li Shengli saw clearly that there was really nothing Garnett could do against Oakley. The only good news was that Garnett could still cause some interference to Oakley, and the single at the fourth position was not considered a breakthrough.

Back to the Mavericks offense, Li Shengli couldn't sit still.

Oakley cannot be allowed to continue to mess with Garnett on both ends of the offense and defense. This is Li Shengli's only idea, and this round...it was Curry's shooting from the outside first, and Li Shengli took the lead in blocking Ewing and getting the rebound.

"Lee, come on, I'm looking forward to playing one-on-one with you!" Ewing showed unusual excitement.

"You'd better let Oakley come with you." There was only so much time in one round, and Li Shengli only said one sentence before launching the attack, but this time it was different.

You know, over the past few seasons, Li Shengli's offensive arsenal has been gradually expanding. Whether it is face-to-basket mid-range shots or low-post singles, physical fitness always comes first, in order to create the greatest and most stable damage. , Li Shengli directly brought out the bulldozer style of play when he first entered the league, and gave Ewing a violent massage.

Wha...what the hell?

Li Shengli pushed Ewing into the penalty area?

The fans in Dallas found it a bit unbelievable, but the one who felt even more fucked was Ewing, because a power fight also requires skills, and at this point, he really couldn't handle Li Shengli.

With a hint of unbelievable horror, the livid-faced Ewing was forcefully pushed into the penalty area, and Li Shengli followed with a light step, inserted his body from his side, crossed the baseline and took off, completing a dunk. The whole process did not occur. It's so sloppy, so simple and rude... just push it, push it, push it!

…

Oh shit!

Still so perverted!

Is Li Shengli crazy?

Ewing was forced to eat alone by Li Shengli, and his eyes were blank. The rhythm of the game was completely reflected from the start of the second quarter with one offense and one defense...

The Knicks were determined to use Oakley to beat Garnett and force him uncontrollably to stretch the Mavericks' defense. However, Garnett was instructed during the break to scold Oakley on his shoulders, but he lacked experience. , resulting in him still suffering a loss, Oakley hit 3 of 5 in half a quarter.

The Knicks specialize in playing Garnett. All Li Shengli can do is attack Ewing and pull Oakley over. In fact, that's exactly what he did. Ewing, who was still at his peak, immediately fell back on the defensive end and was defeated three times in a row. Li Shengli hit the basket and dunked.

…

Leaving aside the new generation of super centers such as Li Shengli and O'Neal, Olajuwon, Robinson, and Ewing are definitely the league's benchmark centers, and their characteristics at this stage are also very distinctive.

Olajuwon is good at both offense and defense. On the offensive end, some even say that he has the body of a center and the skills of a defender. His offensive arsenal is the best among centers in the league. He is especially famous for his steps inside the basket. He is definitely a skill. The benchmark for flow centers.

Robinson is different from Olajuwon. He is fast, has good bounce, and has excellent defense and assist defense capabilities. On the offensive end, he relies on speed and flexibility to grab the time and position of the shot. He is very good in mid-range and high jump shots. , has enough explosive power in scoring.

As for Ewing, he is different from the first two. As a traditional center, it is difficult to say that his technical characteristics are hard to say, but he is comprehensive, and sometimes comprehensive means mediocre. Even if he crushes most centers, he can In the comparison of super centers, there are really not many characteristics that can be said. He can do everything, can do everything, and is not top-notch in anything. He still suffers the most injuries. On the offensive end, he mostly uses a single turn-over jump shot as the finishing method.

If Olajuwon's label is technology, Robinson's label is speed, Ewing's label is comprehensiveness, and Li Shengli's side... is unparalleled power confrontation ability, label violence.

To be honest, every center has confrontation, but this thing is like Olajuwon's promotion to the top in terms of footwork, and in terms of confrontation... Li Shengli's bulldozing style of play is simply a model of violence, the whole league. Top notch!

Did Li Shengli choose the most direct confrontational style because of his poor skills?

The fact is not true. There are skills in confrontation. The most fundamental reason why Ewing couldn't stop Li Shengli was his strength. However, Li Shengli not only had abnormal physical fitness and strength, but also was extremely unbalanced. When the enemy is retreating, we advance, when the enemy is tired, we attack, and we actively control the rhythm of the confrontation. It sounds very simple, but just like Olajuwon's footsteps, it sounds simple, but there is not much that can be done.

In a large team of centers, who is the number one center in the league?

When it comes to combat effectiveness in the penalty area, unless there is a huge difference in status, the gap will not be too big. After all, the confrontation between super centers usually involves explosive rhythms, and fighting for honor... There is no doubt that Li Shengli's two championships came from behind, leading all centers in the league. .

…

For three consecutive times, Li Shengli violently attacked Ewing, which made the atmosphere at home even more heated. Li Shengli's ferocious, violent and efficient style of play finally made Knicks head coach Don Nelson unable to sit still, and started the double team that Li Shengli wanted. model.

Even if Garnett is missed, Nelson can't do anything about it, because Li Shengli... is so fucking scary, the efficiency of the strong attack is so high that he vomited, including the previous one where he hit 4-for-4!

The number one center in the league!

If this guy were swapped with Ewing, wouldn't the Knicks directly book a championship for a season?

Thinking of this, Don Nelson's eyes shone brightly. As a veteran coach in the league, he is still coaching the Knicks this season. He has a thorough understanding of the core tactics. And for this reason, the more he looks at Li Shengli, the more he looks at him. The more terrifying I feel...

Different from the three veteran centers, Don Nelson's perfect core cornerstone of the team is actually Li Shengli and O'Neal, two violent centers. Because they are violent and comprehensive, the team has very low requirements when forming the lineup. This means that the lineup can be formed faster.

In this situation, Li Shengli looked too terrifying.

According to Nelson...the Mavericks' lineup is still in the growth stage, and each position is not very good. The best is that Kidd can use it. But even so, the Mavericks led by Li Shengli still showed outstanding performance. In order to achieve super combat power, the addition of Kevin Garnett this season was a turnaround.

As for O'Neal, he led the Magic in a very violent manner, but compared to Li Shengli, Nelson could still think of ways to deal with him, instead of now...there is absolutely no way to deal with Li Shengli.
