Bulldozer of the NBA’s Restricted Area

The Mavericks still dominated the Spurs in the first three quarters. Although it couldn't be said to be a collapse in the fourth quarter, the 7-point deficit in the middle of the quarter showed the decline. And in this half of the quarter... the Spurs just played steadily, and didn't necessarily increase their offense too much. , the real reason is that the Mavericks' offensive efficiency has dropped.

From another point of view, the Mavericks lineup without Garnett has returned to the standard configuration of last season. The Mavericks who played against the Jazz last season were eliminated in the first round. Although the lineups of each team have many advantages this season. Changes, but there is no doubt that...the Mavericks last season were not strong, and it was extremely difficult to beat the Spurs with last season's lineup.

…

After the timeout, the Mavericks attack first.

Because they still had a 5-point lead in the final analysis, the Mavericks were not in a hurry to take action. After searching for opportunities to no avail...McLeod pulled up to the high post to cover Kidd. Li Shengli led Robinson down to the low post, and Kidd scored suddenly. Take a shot to Curry in the left corner.

Boom!

One shot missed.

Robinson is good at mid-range, and Li Shengli is good at confrontation, so Li Shengli naturally has the advantage in the position under the basket, but the ball fell a little far, and the rebound was collected by the Spurs.

Go back to the Spurs to attack.

Li Shengli insisted on confronting Robinson, which made Robinson feel miserable. As expected, the Spurs moved to the third position this time to play with the height difference. Sean Elliott shot once in front of Crotty and successfully defeated Scoring a goal helped the Spurs embark on the fast lane to overtake, causing the Spurs to cheer at home.

…

3 points.

Only 3 points left.

The Mavericks' three-quarter lead was wiped out, and then... the Mavericks attacked, Jones took a shot, the Spurs attacked, Vinnie shot a two-pointer, and the point difference was only 1 point.

"I'm sorry, you're going to lose!" Robinson said while standing next to Li Shengli when he returned to defense. There was no excitement on his face, nor could he be considered sarcastic. "If you want to blame, you can only blame Garnett. , Putting aside his foul mouth, it is a bit too stupid for a main player to replace our substitute."

"What do you want to say?" Li Shengli stared at Kidd, not looking at Robinson, "I want to win, but I don't blame others if I lose. Don't tell me that I have or don't have these things. I will blow you up myself. !”

"Do you think it's possible?"

"Then just watch."

Unless you are standing still, if you want to chat on the court, you basically have to yell. After all, everyone is running, and if you don’t yell, they won’t be heard. After Li Shengli said the last sentence, Curry was outside again projection……

Boom!

Seeing the ball hit, Curry clenched his fists with a look of annoyance on his face. Fortunately, the rebound landed under the basket, and Li Shengli got stuck in his position, one body ahead of Robinson, and grabbed the rebound.

The problem with the Mavericks' offense is that the Spurs restrict Li Shengli's position. For Robinson, he is afraid of Li Shengli's basket, so the defense outside the penalty area does not move forward, while the defense inside the penalty area moves forward to prevent Li Shengli from catching Kidd. Pass the ball.

However, now that Li Shengli got an offensive rebound under the basket, he was simply in his own kingdom.

"You... let me... watch!" Li Shengli pushed Robinson with his back. Robinson called on Charles to double-team him, but the double-team hadn't been formed yet. Li Shengli grabbed the gap where Robinson's center of gravity was unstable and jumped directly between the two double-teams. He turned around and jumped up, holding the ball with both hands and pulling it back, and it hit the basket with a bang.

…

Finally a goal was scored and the Mavericks returned to defense.

"Robinson, when this guy gets to the basket, we can't hold him down!" Charles said as he brushed Robinson.

"Damn it, then don't let him go to the basket! Cheer up and don't miss a single backcourt rebound. If we let him play the second offense under the basket, we will have nothing." Robinson just said to Charles , and did not direct other teammates, because the offensive end is not what he is worried about. The efficiency of the defense in suppressing the Mavericks is the key to winning the game.

As Robinson expected, the Spurs scored in this round's attack. He returned Li Shengli's shot with a high jumper. However, the direction of the game changed again.

…

There is nothing to mention about the Spurs' offense, but the Mavericks are uncharacteristically because three consecutive shots were taken by Crotty, who the Spurs didn't care about, and these four shots were all three-pointers.

Is this urgent?

The Mavericks want to use three-pointers to widen the gap?

But it makes no sense that the one who takes the shot is Crotty, the defender who is used to speed up, and not the shooter Curry?

In fact, on the one hand, it is because the Spurs have taken good care of Curry, and on the other hand, Crotty is born crazy. He dared to shoot everything Curry did not dare to shoot. Although he made 1 of 4 three-pointers, this hit was very Low, but the base number is too small and it’s hard to talk about it with shooting percentage. What made Spurs coach Hill curse him is... of the 3 missed goals, 2 offensive rebounds were caught by Li Shengli, and only one hit point Too far and fell into the hands of the Spurs.

Is Li Shengli invincible under the basket?

That horse riding is really invincible!

Seeing that neither Robinson nor Charles could hold Li Shengli back, not only did they score two secondary attacks, but they also committed a foul. Although they missed the 2+1 free throw, the problem was that this time the foul was added to 4 fouls. Robinson has committed 5 fouls.

Leaving aside the foul that caused Robinson, the Mavericks scored 7 points in 4 attacks. In the same 4 attacks, the Spurs made 2 of 4 and scored 4 points. This efficiency is not low, but it is not as good as the Mavericks. , forcing Hill to call a timeout.

…

The change in a few minutes was something Gordon had not expected.

His original intention was to let the three guards increase the speed of offense and defense transitions. Although he intended to let Li Shengli get more offensive rebounds to ensure an average score per round, offensive rebounds... Because the Spurs are on the defensive side, the inside position is more conducive to rushing. Rob, so Gordon didn't have high expectations.

But Li Shengli's offensive rebounds were like putting out fires, far exceeding his expectations.

As for Crotty, this dead-faced man is still riding like crazy. If he is asked to take a shot, Qing Yishui will shoot a three-pointer close to his face, taking away all the shots from Curry in a few rounds. It is actually better to say that it is a shot. Like... passing the ball? It perfectly solved Li Shengli's situation of not being able to reach deep positions with the ball, and also fully displayed Li Shengli's peak state under the basket.

"Damn, you bastard is a lunatic!" Curry cursed, not because Crotty took action, but because he was too courageous. After all, if he messed up, he would have to take the blame for the loss of the game.

"Damn it, I made 0 out of 3 in the first place, and only scored 1 in the back. You still dare to shoot with this touch, I really..." Kidd was also a little over the top. Fortunately, the ending was good, and Li Shengli was stable enough.

"That's it, you two. Remember, it's not just Crotty. You two should also try your best to find opportunities to shoot. If you can't, I will make up for it. If you hold on to these last few minutes, we will win!"

Can you do blacksmithing?

This... I'm good at it!

Kidd was very happy when he heard this, and he pulled Curry and ran onto the court. At the most critical time of the game, the two brothers were relieved. After all, they could have a reason to shirk the blame.

Tactical blacksmithing?

There's nothing wrong with that, right?

Take the first shot and hit the target. If you fail, I will just pass the ball like an iron!

…

The Spurs were still trying to limit Li Shengli on the defensive end. When the two sides returned to the court, the Spurs' offense was still quite satisfactory, but the Mavericks... set up three Kikuk cannons and fired randomly, taking the first shot. The hit rate is not high, but if Li Shengli's second attack of frantically grabbing offensive rebounds is included, the efficiency in a single round is much higher.

…

"Lee, I shot inside!" Kidd yelled and even wanted to light up a cigarette afterwards.

"Fuck you, change your lines for me!" Li Shengli blocked the fuming Robinson and flew over Smith to grab the board. After landing, he landed on the edge of the bottom line and restricted area. He turned his back and rushed to the basket with a small hook. scored.

…

"No, Lee, I'm going to shoot too!" Curry held it in for too long, and with the backboard as a guarantee, he was much more confident in his shot than Kidd, and he hit the net directly.

"Get out of here!" Li Shengli was furious.

"Why, you have to be fair. Kidd can do it, why can't I?"

"Fuck you, uncle!"

…

Because Curry hit, Li Shengli had time to scold Curry, but Crotty's actions were louder than words, and he shot without saying a word, which made the only remaining Jones anxious... Charles guarded him and made him feel uncomfortable at all. There was a good opportunity to make a move, but it was different now. It didn’t matter whether the opportunity was good or not, as long as the move was successful.

Score points and refresh data as soon as you enter!

If you don’t advance, it’s a matter of tactical forging and supporting the boss!

Taking into account the fact that the leading point difference is rising steadily, this deal is simply a bargain. So the closer the game gets to the critical moment, the crazier the Mavericks become. Whoever gets the ball will not let go. Of course Kidd makes money playing point guard. Cheap, but the problem is that Curry took Crotty and Jones to steal the ball from him, and all the spectators watching the game were frightened by the Mavericks' steal of teammates, even the Spurs. Robinson vomited. .

…

X**T tactics?

The core of the tactics is that the team does not have a clear tactical offensive core, and the real secret of tactics is...either you will explode with blood, or I will collapse with blood.

Whoever has the ball will hit. If he scores, he will score. If he fails to score, he will summon Li Shengli, the big man in the penalty area. Even if he cannot make a direct second attack, it will be another round of random shots.

For the Spurs...

If you want to limit Li Shengli's offensive rebounds, you have to have two people on the court, and it will definitely be effective if two people go up. But the problem is that Li Shengli doesn't take the ball, only the boards. When two people go up, one person will be missing from the outside, and the Mavericks will pass the ball. The pass will always find an open opportunity.

But letting go of Li Shengli wouldn't work either.

It's true that the Spurs' perimeter defense has been strengthened, but the Mavericks still shoot how they want. As soon as the shot is taken and the rebound lands around Li Shengli, everything explodes immediately, because Robinson's back injury makes him weak in confrontation, and he is not able to block the position well. Counting all the players on the list, there is no one who can compete with Li Shengli.

To be honest, before the timeout, Spurs coach Hill was still thinking about how to play the next game and how to kill the Mavericks, but he never expected that the Mavericks would shoot him in the head. He was so self-disorganized that all his regular arrangements were in vain.

You want to kill me? Then I'll kill myself first and catch you off guard!

As a result, the Mavericks used the last minute to wildly widen the point difference, and Gordon suddenly discovered that all the tactical trends in the final quarter were completely beyond his control. The entire main force started to fight around Li Shengli, and the combat power they unleashed was astonishing. Although this was not The unconventional explosion is not as stable as Garnett's presence and can only be used as a final stab, but so far, the results are gratifying.

The Mavericks, who were originally chased by 7 points, until the end of the game... ended the first game of the Western Conference Finals with a 4-point lead. However, Li Shengli and Robinson could hardly stand it after the full game, especially Li Shengli. The consumption was even greater, and I almost died from exhaustion.

The Spurs complained endlessly.
