Bulldozer of the NBA’s Restricted Area

By now in the game, Li Shengli understood it. He figured that Curry and Kidd were at their wits end, so he came up with this bad idea. You must know that Garnett's trash talk has nothing to do with basketball, and the bad idea is not that bad. , after all, at least... Garnett's nonsense doesn't sound so harsh now.

"Is this the quality education you two receive?" Li Shengli asked awkwardly.

"There's no way, Kevin, this guy can't play without talking nonsense, there's only so much we can do." Kidd responded.

"Then let's do this for now, let's finish this game." Li Shengli said no more about this matter, but the Spurs...Robinson had a cold face. Charles wanted to get angry, but the problem was Garnett's trash talk. Without changing the medicine, the lethality was still very high, which made his mentality explode.

…

The game has reached this point. In fact, the Mavericks' winning rate is already very high, because they led by 12 points in the first half, and this point difference will continue to expand in the second half.

Can the Spurs beat the Mavericks?

To be honest, if the core team wants to beat the Mavericks' Li+Jia combination, they have high requirements for the inside duo.

First of all, the center position must have top-level confrontation, and Robinson's back injury is weakening this ability.

Furthermore, the power forward at the fourth position must also have enough flexibility and height, because Garnett relies on his flexible feet to find positions, and the height of the center to shoot jumpers, and the defender can also do it if he has enough defensive confrontation, such as a violent attack. Former Karl Malone can sanction Garnett at this stage.

In turn, apply the requirements of these two positions to the Spurs.

Robinson's current offensive and defensive ends are indeed a bit sluggish. Although his scoring data is similar to Li Shengli's, the key is that his shots are mainly mid-range, and his shooting rate is below the normal level, which is far less high than Li Shengli's close-to-the-basket shooting rate.

This means that with the same scoring data, Robinson needs more shots to achieve it, not to mention the decline in rebounding data due to weakened confrontation, which puts him at a disadvantage compared with Li Shengli.

There are strengths and weaknesses in the center position, but the gap between strengths and weaknesses is not that big, while at the fourth power forward position, it is a huge difference.

On the one hand, Charles' mentality exploded due to Garnett's trouble. On the other hand, he couldn't keep up with Garnett. Even if he could keep up, there was nothing he could do with Garnett's shooting height. In addition, Li Shengli's attack on Robinson caused the inside Threat, Charles is facing enemies from both sides.

…

These are what can be seen in the first half, and they become more obvious in the second half.

The first was Garnett vs. Charles, and Li Shengli vs. Robinson. The Mavericks successfully established their inside advantage, and when the Spurs took more outside shots than the Mavericks, Gordon directly replaced Curry with Crotty. The backcourt combination of Curry + Kidd provides perimeter defense.

The last straw for the Spurs came after this substitution.

By the end of the third quarter, the Mavericks' lead had soared to 20 points, and they were still leading by 12 in the first half. This meant that they had an 8-point lead in the third quarter, and in the fourth quarter...Gordon took the initiative. Li Shengli didn't want to play the whole game again and have the fans angrily fuck the main player.

As for the Spurs.

Li Shengli can play, because the Mavericks are too far ahead, but Robinson can't play. This is the time when the Mavericks' inside attack and defense are open. They have to withstand this time period, so the hard-pressed Robinson continues to be on the court, and can It was expected...

A 20-point lead is too much. If the Spurs don't want to lose and want to resist, Robinson will probably have to play the full four quarters. Assuming a miracle happens and the game goes into overtime, Robinson can even be beaten alive. Exhausted.

…

In the fourth quarter, because Li Shengli rested, Gordon could not use all the main players, so Curry replaced Crotty again and formed a backcourt with Kidd. Donald replaced the center, Garnett continued to play power forward, and Jones replaced McLeod went to play the four.

In this substitution, Gordon thought that his own inside line could not withstand Robinson, so he gave up the outside defense and let Curry play, because the Spurs' shots are likely to shift to the inside line, and the outside defense is irrelevant. It is better to Curry added firepower.

…

"Li, thank you for your hard work!" Gordon smiled, because the team went all the way to the Western Conference Finals. Originally, Tobey was thinking of kicking him away, but his attitude has changed sharply in the past few days, which made him feel... Feeling proud and proud.

"It's not hard for me, it's just Robinson... Damn it, what do you think this guy Hill wants? He has to destroy Robinson before he is willing to do it?" Li Shengli wiped his sweat with a towel.

"It's wrong for you to say that. This is the Western Conference finals. I won't let you play the whole game once. As for Hill... I guess he asked Robinson to come off, and Robinson himself didn't agree. After all, we are not the only ones. I want to win the game." Gordon stretched his waist quite easily, because the rhythm of the game on the court... Although the Mavericks were a little tight, there was no sign of collapse.

"He doesn't want to play? But the key is to see if he can play." Li Shengli glanced at Gordon, "If this game also counts his full game time, you can calculate his average playing time in the three games. How many, 46 minutes? Someone who is not injured will have to suffer some problems, not to mention Robinson is injured to begin with. Don't the Spurs want to play next season?"

"Maybe you really don't want to fight?"

"How can it be?"

"How is it impossible?" Gordon glanced in the direction of Hill. "The Spurs have pinned all their hopes on this season. Look at Charles. He is not good. Several of the Spurs' main players are also injured. Next season Let him play and he may not be able to get to where he is today, so...the Spurs' opportunity is only this season, and they have to play hard."

"Isn't this reason a bit forced?"

"One reason may be a bit reluctant, but what about adding another, bad, and bad rookie to join?"

"Are you kidding me?!" Li Shengli couldn't believe it. "Don't you just mess up when you're halfway through the regular season and the predicted results are unsatisfactory? You messed up right from the start, and even paid the price of Robinson's injury just to grab a rookie. ? Damn it, Shaq and I didn’t get this treatment back then.”

"It's different, it's completely different. You and Shaq haven't played in the NCAA for long, and the content of the scouting report is not as detailed as the... scheduled No. 1 pick in the 1997 draft."

"Already made a reservation? What's going on? Is there a 96 inserted in the middle?"

"There's no way. This guy's rating is too high. I think it's not just the Spurs. It's estimated that more teams will join the bad team. The regular season record next season will definitely be polarizing. As for you It’s impossible to say that it starts to go bad from the middle of the season, because then there is no way to control the number of defeats, and every team wants... the last place!"

Do you want to be ranked last?

Isn't this too fake?

Although discovering players is a matter for scouts, current players actually don’t know much about the NCAA. They are limited to the top picks in the draft that year. The same goes for Li Shengli. The span of the 1997 draft is a bit long. It’s enough to book the top pick. , and can make each team play badly from the beginning of the season, then it must be a miracle, right?
