Bulldozer of the NBA’s Restricted Area

After the Christmas game, all the fans were talking about the incredible game between the Mavericks and the Magic. After all, such a game was too gimmick. But the day after Christmas, a big news shocked half of the league... ...Magic Johnson is about to make his comeback!

What do you mean?

Are you planning to come back as a savior in times of crisis?

But the era of the Lakers has passed. After Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Johnson retired one after another, the former dynasty has indeed embarked on the path of decline. It makes no sense... You can reverse the situation with just the old bones. It's not even possible for the old Kareem Abdul-Jabbar to move here.

There is a saying that once a player's physical peak period is over, the speed of decline in competitive status is quite astonishing. It is said that veterans have experience, but in fact experience cannot replace the body, experience can only be the icing on the cake.

No one knows what the Lakers are doing during this comeback. Maybe it's to sell their feelings, maybe it's to use the remaining energy of their veterans, but no matter what...Magic is still on the court. He just gained weight in the years after he retired. He returned to the game and played. The Lakers' small forward position, and what is surprising is that Magic's rematch debut was very successful.

In 30 minutes of playing time, he scored 18 points, 6 assists, and 6 rebounds. Not as good as the peak but still surprising enough. Looking at the Lakers' lineup... with Magic, it seems really good, right?

…

The return of the veteran is a blessing for the fans. No one wants the Magic to end up in ruins. It is of course the best to have some good results. Fortunately, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse... After playing a few games, Magic His stable performance gave Lakers fans some hope.

However, the popularity of this incident did not last long, because the most popular team in the league at this time was the Dallas Mavericks, a team that was creating miracles. After the Christmas game, the number of wins and losses added up to the record of both sides. middle……

The Magic, with 21 wins and 6 losses, ranks second in the Eastern Conference. Compared with last season's first place in the regular season, no one is surprised by this ranking, but the Mavericks are a little better... 23 wins and 5 losses, and there are 23 wins among them. 21 consecutive hits, soaring from seventh place last season to first place.

This span is quite large.

The most exaggerated thing before was the Magic. They were last, ninth, fourth and first in the Eastern Conference. It took them three seasons to reach the top of the regular season. But after the Mavericks got Li Shengli... they were second from last and seventh in the Western Conference. , No. 1 in positive numbers, it took only two seasons to complete the Magic's promotion path.

Even though this ranking is only temporary, it also proves the competitiveness of the Mavericks lineup. In fact... without the team's main players injured, the fluctuations in the record rankings are definitely not big. The Mavericks will play next. No matter how bad it is, it is estimated that they will not fall out of the top three in the Western Conference.

…

With the unparalleled momentum of 21 consecutive victories, the Mavericks continued on the road after picking up the Magic away from home...

The 29th game of the regular season, against the Kings at home.

The Mavericks' Big Three of Li Shengli, Garnett, and Kidd were soaring all the way, but the Kings didn't have much ability to fight back. After two quarters, they entered garbage time, and were eventually defeated by the Mavericks by 10 points... Li Shengli and Kidd Germany once again got a triple-double, and Garnett also had good main statistics of 20+10.

The 30th game against the Suns is also at home.

This game was the Mavericks' Big Three against the Phoenix Trident. Although Garnett was mistreated by Barkley, with an embarrassing 11+5 overall statistics, his defensive contribution was still there, while Li Shengli and Ji Germany's steady performance won this game with a small advantage.

Game 31 against the Timberwolves, win!

Beat the Clippers in 32 games and win!

Played against the Nuggets in 33 games and still won!

In the horrified eyes of the entire league, the Mavericks won 26 consecutive victories in a magnificent manner, and the Mavericks' lineup became more and more mature, but... in the 34th game of the regular season, on the way to the 27th consecutive victory, something went wrong Question.

Playing the Rockets away from home.

The combination of internal and external veterans and experience of Olajuwon + Drexler is indeed experienced. Facing the overwhelming Mavericks and dominant center Li Shengli, even Olajuwon selectively reduced his shots and tried his best to pull the position. Create opportunities for Drexler.

It's not like O'Neal has never used this method when playing the Magic, but the combination of O'Neal + Hardaway can't compete with the "wily" Olajuwon + Drexel.

At this point, the Mavericks' defensive end really encountered a challenge, perhaps because of the pressure and motivation of the 27th company. Once the defensive end exploded, the mentality of Kidd + Garnett collapsed, which also affected the offensive end performance. And the result can be imagined...The Mavericks lost to the Rockets by 3 points, and their 26 wins ended.

From the new team to the gradual maturity, Li Shengli led Kidd and Garnett. They went so smoothly, and the loss to the Rockets was not unfair. After all, compared with the Rockets, the Mavericks were much less experienced. .

This is a good thing. At least the time when the problem is exposed is not in the playoffs. At least the Mavericks have enough time to make adjustments in the next games. In the tight schedule... Li Shengli has a guest at his house. My eldest cousin, Mei Wenhua, came to the United States on a 'business trip' with Dongzi from JD.com Multimedia.

…

"Cousin, what brought you here?" Li Shengli took a day off, went to the airport early in the morning to pick up his cousin and Dongzi, and took him home. The house in Dallas was rented, and he was the only one for the time being. People are living.

"We're going abroad to see the world. What's the matter, you still don't welcome us?" The eldest cousin really didn't notice anything else. He sat on the sofa in the living room minding his own business, and then said, "Oh, by the way. , let’s get to know each other. Shengli, this is Dongzi I told you. Dongzi, this is my cousin, a big star in the NBA.”

This person...is Li Shengli?

Damn, I finally saw one alive today!

Facing the largest shareholder of JD Multimedia, Dongzi said hello a little cautiously, "Brother Li, hello, I'm Dongzi!"

"Hello, hello, sit down wherever you want, there are no outsiders here!" Li Shengli motioned Dongzi to sit down, but he didn't need to be too enthusiastic, and turned to his cousin and asked, "Tell me, I don't go to the Three Treasures Hall for anything. Why are you here?"

"Nonsense, of course your brother and I are here to fight against the rich!"

"Damn it, don't bother me. Didn't I ask my agent to find you in the middle of the year? If anything happens, just tell him no and it's over. As for running all the troops to come to me..."

"Is that Turner?" My cousin scratched his head, "Don't mention him to me, he's just like picking something. His uncle's, I originally asked him to invest more, but he... is too lazy to think about us. The profit is small, so what are the investment and production figures..."

"Brother, input-output ratio!" Dongzi interrupted to his cousin.

"Yes, that's the thing. Anyway, he just thinks we don't make enough money, but the key is that we make a lot of money!"

"Then how much did you earn?" Li Shengli was sweating anxiously because his eldest cousin didn't talk about the important point.

"Didn't you invest about one million yuan? The principal is still there. We made a gross profit of fifty in half a year. This transaction is still too small. I don't care about your face. I really want to beat this old man to death." The cousin was angry. swore loudly.

One million principal, fifty gross profit in half a year?

Li Shengli was stunned when he heard this, "Is this production ratio even lower? Damn it, tell me the truth, are you selling fakes?"

"No, absolutely not!" My cousin said righteously.

"Brother Li, our Jingdong Multimedia business is in the sales of electronic products. There are no fake electronic products at present, and there is no counterfeiting technology in China, so we will never sell fake products. At most, we will... just sell the returned products. , engage in primary and secondary sales." Dongzi continued to explain.

Oh shit!

Second-hand stuff?

Your nickname is really not for nothing, but selling second-hand goods as new goods is no better than selling fake goods. Basically, the boss does not tell the second-hand dirty things...

"Okay, okay, you can do whatever you want. I don't know the specifics. I will talk to Turner about this." Li Shengli was at his wits end, but the investment was still productive, and the money was not wasted. "I said...is this the reason why you came here this time?"

"Where do you want to go? Dongzi and I are here to inspect the market. We will probably stay here for a month!"

"Okay, but I'm busy with competitions here, so I don't have time to take you out to play."

"No need for you, you can go about your own business. Remember, just reimburse us for your travel expenses before you leave."

"Damn it, do you want me to reimburse you for this?"

"Nonsense, Dongzi and I are working for you now. If we go abroad on business, if you don't pay, who will?"

"Okay, okay, pretend I didn't ask, you can do whatever you want, I'm not short of money anyway."
