Bulldozer of the NBA’s Restricted Area

Back on the court, the Mavericks attack.

At this time, the lineup has become a pure main force with one god and four generals. After Garnett ran to the high post to pick and roll Kidd, he went down to the left side of the penalty area, and Lakers forward Campbell followed Kidd.

"Lee..." Kidd roared and made a ground pass.

Since Kidd didn't take many shots and didn't hit high in this game, Li Shengli and Campbell didn't think much about it. Li Shengli squeezed towards the basket and Campbell rushed inside.

Where is the ball?

Where did the ball go?

Campbell just turned around and found that Li Shengli had not caught the ball at all. When he looked back for Kidd, Kidd had already passed the ball to Garnett. Garnett shot directly in front of Nick who was guarding him. Got out.

211 vs. 185, coupled with the suppression of his wingspan, Garnett shot too easily. Not only did he score a goal off the board, but he also caused a foul on Nick. He perfectly used all his advantages. After all, as long as the defender was not The magician is afraid of nothing.

…

After Garnett hit 2+1, the Mavericks switched from offense to defense.

The score difference at this time reached 8 points. The Lakers were really anxious, and the play in this round was mixed... The good news is that Kidd of the Mavericks was embarrassingly called for a body hair foul by the referee, and Nick walked up. The free throw line, and the bad news is that Nick made 1 of 2 free throws, which is far inferior to the 2+1 that Garnett just played.

Back when the Mavericks were on offense, Kidd and Garnett were still playing pick-and-roll, and Kidd was still making fake moves with his mouth. He faked a pass to Garnett, pulled Campbell away, and finally handed it to Li Shengli who rushed to the basket. Sent the ball into the basket and scored two points.

With less than 2 minutes left, the Mavericks' lead had reached 9 points. This situation was unexpected by the Lakers, and Del immediately called a timeout.

…

The Mavericks were about to win their first victory, and everyone was in a relaxed state, so Gordon didn't say much. He just emphasized defense. If there were no major problems, it would be very simple to hold on to the last two minutes.

As for the Lakers... they still had illusions at first, but the more they played, the more desperate they became.

Wanting to make a comeback, the problem is that they don't have a super giant that can't be solved in singles. Unless a miracle comes, there is not much meaning in struggling. Del decided to give up, frowned, pulled Divac and Campbell and whispered a few words.

There is no hope of a comeback, but losing should be worthwhile.

So the Lakers came back to play. This time it was still Nick who was organizing the game, but Barcelos missed a mid-range shot after overcoming Crotty. The rebound was still in the penalty area, but Divac couldn't grab the position at all. Campbell rushed over. It was too late. Li Shengli stood up from the ground and grabbed the ball with both hands, but...

When he landed, Campbell flew out from behind Li Shengli and slapped Li Shengli on the shoulder. Although the referee immediately blew the whistle to signal that Campbell had committed a foul, the force of the slap was not light and made Li Shengli feel a pain on his shoulder. Burning pain.

…

"Well done!" Del clenched his fists and hit each other with his left and right hands.

"Del, it's almost done." The magician said with a dark face and a little irritated.

"No, it's impossible. The fun has just begun. If we give up this game, we must gain the maximum. Only by magnifying Li's shoulder injury can we have a chance in the following games!"

Del didn't speak anymore. At this time, the Mavericks' free throws were executed on the court. Li Shengli made 1 of 2 free throws, and the point difference reached double digits. When the Lakers attacked... Divac and Campbell played the twin towers. , and rushed directly to the inside.

Is this giving up the game?

You know, the Mavericks' inside defense is far more terrifying than their outside defense!

At the last moment, the Lakers were still trying to play inside, and even the home fans couldn't understand it. At this time, Garnett also rushed to the penalty area, and there were a lot of people inside.

Divac reluctantly turned over and shot a jumper. Regardless of whether he made it or not, Li Shengli had to rush to the basket and prepare for the rebound. At the same time...

It's Campbell again!

Another run-up and take-off!

The difference is that this time he was ahead of Garnett and grabbed the rebound first. When Li Shengli and Garnett went up to pinch him, he had no idea of ​​moving the ball quickly. He twisted wildly with the ball and hit it hard. Once, he touched the deltoid muscle of Li Shengli’s right shoulder.

…

"Damn, what are you doing?" When Garnett saw Li Shengli being targeted, he flew into a rage and sprayed saliva in Campbell's face who was nearby.

"Accident, accident, this is definitely an accident!" Divac quickly pulled Campbell aside, "Don't get me wrong, he didn't mean any harm."

"No malice? This bastard was not clean when we were grabbing rebounds just now. Do you really think I'm blind when you step on the horse?" Garnett was angry. The young man is easy to take advantage of. Li Shengli quickly held down Garnett. Kidd, Curry and Crotty also rushed forward.

God, what is this for?

At the last moment, the fans in the audience were excited. They were expecting the Mavericks to be irrational and have a big fight, and then suspend several main players and give up the right to advance to the first round. But the key is that no one is stupid.

"Keep playing, Kevin, please be honest!" Li Shengli said with a dark face, not even looking at Campbell. This foul caused the ball rights to be exchanged again, and it was the Mavericks' turn to attack.

"They are all like this, why should I..." Garnett muttered.

"Okay, Kevin, listen to Lee, this is the playoffs!" Kidd advised.

"Lee, are you okay?" Curry didn't say anything to Garnett, but after Li Shengli shook his head in reply, the dead-faced Crotty next to him wanted to hit someone again. Curry was so frightened that he pulled Kidd and stopped him quickly. .

"The game is over soon. Please calm down." Li Shengli didn't want to make matters worse at the last moment, and the referee on the side signaled for the exchange of ball rights and the game to continue.

…

"Campbell, that's it. Don't mess around." Divac pulled Campbell back to defend.

"I can't help it. The coach assigned me a task and I have to do it!" Campbell said with a bitter look on his face.

"This... we don't have much time. Just deal with it. Even if you don't consider the consequences, this is really not a good thing. You have done enough. Del will not say anything to you anymore."

"Well, I understand, let's defend!"

The two whispered a few words and continued the game until the game time ran out. Campbell didn't do anything too extreme. And the result of the game... Unsurprisingly, the Mavericks won.

…

99:87!

Leading by 12 points, the Mavericks won the first game of the first round.

After the game, the two sides shook hands. Garnett chased Campbell and cursed for a while, and then the two sides left the game. Del stood up and followed Magic. Although he lost, he did not show much displeasure.

"Haha, Erwin, we have achieved the effect we wanted. The next few games are our real home court!"

"Don't be too happy. Li is different from others. His role is not limited to offense."

"It doesn't matter, at least we have lowered the difficulty, right?" Del waved his hands and said it didn't matter, "We can't deal with Li at his peak. Now it's the best result. If we continue at this pace, Li's role will be It will be infinitely reduced."

"You are very optimistic, so I can only wish you good luck! But if the result is not what you think and we are eliminated in the first round, I'm afraid you are paving the way for the Mavericks' opponents in the second round."
