Bulldozer of the NBA’s Restricted Area

Chapter 473 The Eve of the Final Battle

So far in the playoff battle, only the final battle remains.

In the Western Conference Finals, the Mavericks' victory was not a fluke, because even if Robinson was not injured, the inside advantage still belongs to the Mavericks. Looking back at the Eastern Conference Finals... the Magic simply died tragically on their own doorstep, and were directly shaved off by the Bulls 4:0, and In the first game, they took a 38-point lead and ended the game, and then they were crushed and beaten all the way.

Magic beats bulls?

The inside advantage is certain, and the outside disadvantage is also certain, but... the game has never been so clear-cut, and the Bulls have an All-Star level functional player Rodman, which has reduced the Magic's inside advantage, but the Magic has taken advantage of it. Jordan outside can't help it.

I expected to lose, but I didn't expect it to be so miserable.

Li Shengli and O'Neill both had this idea, and O'Neill cried bitterly after the game... It's not that our army is incompetent, but that the enemy is too cunning!

One person can't hold down Jordan, and two people are too much. If three people are on the ball, it will be a dead end. More importantly, guarding Jordan alone will still be a dead end. This person is simply a bug in the game.

To be honest, the strength of the offensive super giant is in singles, and when the team moves and cooperates and fails to create opportunities, the role of the super giant in unsolvable singles can only be realized at this time.

In Bulls, that's true.

The so-called triangle offense, in vernacular terms... Jordan is the starting point of the offense. If the opponent does not come to double-team, he will shoot. If there are multiple double-teams, he will be assigned to the other two corners, and his teammates will attack. The way to break the defense is simple, rough and Efficient.

Turning around, it's the same thing in Dallas.

Li Shengli's role in the interior is the same as Jordan's. The offense from deep positions will also force the opponent to double-team. If he doesn't cover, he will do it, and if he does, he will score. The only difference from the Bulls is...the Mavericks have more points to distribute the ball. Most of them belong to Garnett, who is good at shooting, and it is more difficult to distribute the ball inside than the Bulls.

In such a comparison, it seems that the Mavericks are at a disadvantage, but what you need to know is that the advantage of the inside is not only offensive, but also able to suppress opponents on the defensive end and rebounding data. In this finals, the specific case of the Mavericks beating the Bulls superior……

For the Bulls, Rodman, a rebounding monster, may slow down Li Shengli's ability to establish an advantage to a certain extent; conversely, Garnett's large-scale assist defense can also limit Jordan's breakthrough to a certain extent and reduce efficiency.

Of course, the game is not played by four people.

It can only be said that the strategic significance of these four people is greater, but we must not forget that the Bulls also have a second-in-command, and the Mavericks also have Kidd, Curry, Crotty and others.

If you insist on saying who has the greater chance of winning or winning rate, the Bulls are actually recognized by the entire league.

As for the Mavericks... a lesson from the past is that the Magic lost this young guard because of their youth. What can be seen is that the Mavericks' lineup is even younger than the Magic.

First-year Garnett and second-year Kidd hugged Li Shengli's thigh tightly, but they didn't know if they could withstand the strong wind in Chicago.

But no matter what, the Mavericks' results this season are enough to raise eyebrows.

The last Western Conference Finals was 8 years ago, and he was kicked out by the Lakers. This time he jumped to the finals stage. It was definitely a historic breakthrough for the Dallas Mavericks. And Li Shengli entered the league for the third time after a season. The pinnacle battle made the people of Dallas extremely excited as they waited for the decisive battle.

June 5th.

The Mavericks arrived in Chicago to prepare for the finals. On the afternoon of their arrival, they held a routine press conference in accordance with official requirements. You must know that it is the finals, and the officials also need to create heat and pave the way for the game. Although In Stern's mind...it's best to play in the finals with the Bulls, Lakers, Celtics, and Knicks. These are the best markets with high yields, but the Mavericks are located at a critical node in Dallas, and it would be beneficial to play in them. The development of the fan market is at least better than that hellish place in Salt Lake City where there is no grass.

Based on this, all departments under Stern have spared no effort. Although the focus is still on the Bulls and Jordan, this time the Mavericks and Li Shengli have also obtained some media resources, and the so-called resources are those on major media There were overwhelming reports, and celebrities and celebrities blew the whistle.

However, at this point, Li Shengli has a natural advantage. As soon as the official side opened the door, a storm started on the eve of the finals, because there are many celebrities and big shots in the league who "play Li".

Everyone could have guessed that Kareem Abdul-Jabbar pulled a famous player from the Lakers team to give him a blowjob, but what they didn’t expect was... At the stall on the eve of the war, the famous players from the Green Kai team actually also spoke out collectively. A little closer to the time, Larry Bird, the king of showmanship, and Russell, the king of the ring, are further away, interspersed with the major direct disciples of Cardinal Auerbach.

Although it is a bit strange for the two camps, the yellow and the green, to speak out at the same time, it doesn't cost anything to say good things and just brag about it. Moreover, it coincides with the expiration of Li Shengli's contract. It is better for both parties to use their contacts and sell without spending money. This is not a big deal. , after all... before the Mavericks confirmed their qualification for the finals, O'Neal, who was also waiting for a contract extension, was first promoted by the bosses on both sides.

Actually, back and forth, those who play Li and Ao are the same group of people.

The two camps merged into one, and they worked harder and harder on the eve of the finals. On the other side, the teams that were short of players inside were independent of the two major camps of yellow and green. The people in front started to brag, and the people behind them also followed suit. Since then, the team has gradually grown, and in the end, even Stern didn't expect...Li Shengli, who arrived in Chicago to prepare for the game, and O'Neal, who was defeated in the Windy City, turned out to be the guest?

A once-in-a-decade genius duo!

A once-in-a-century shark duo!

Under the overwhelming reports, even Stern did not know what the problem was behind this, and he was unable to control the direction of public opinion. At least it was because of the official's poor public relations capabilities, and at worst it was the inability to integrate resources and make choices. The making of sex superstar.

"Tell me, what's going on this time?" In the official headquarters in New York, Stern was having a meeting. Although the media trends before the game were not enough to affect the interests of the league for the time being, they were beyond the control and Sha Sheng was still covered. Taking away Jordan's limelight also gave him a headache.

"It's not clear yet, but over in Boston, Auerbach has been somewhat active recently."

"Auerbach, why is it him again?" Stern had a headache when he heard this name, not because of his seniority, but because this old man was the biggest thorn in the side of the league's deep-rooted forces, "Forget it, no matter what That's it, as long as public opinion does not involve the interests of the league, let him play by himself first, but...at this point in time, does Auerbach want O'Neal or Lee?"

"It seems like we can't interfere, right?"

"No, there is no need to interfere. The current game is the business of those teams themselves. The teams and the market that are willing to pay will definitely not be small. The teams that are unwilling to pay do not have much value, so no matter what the result is, for The alliance is beneficial and I am happy to see it."

The butt determines the head. Naturally, Stern’s priority is the interests of the league. “But to be honest, Auerbach wants the Celtics to revive. This is indeed the best opportunity. The same goes for the Lakers. In the end, A good result is that both sides can gain something, and our principle is...as long as there is no foul play or the interests of the league are not violated, don't interfere with them and let them play their own game."
