Bulldozer of the NBA’s Restricted Area

After the first game of the finals, the Mavericks were in a low mood. In fact, it was impossible not to be low, because the first game was so unpleasant that someone just punched the crotch out of their pants. The gap in physical strength was somewhat irreparable. And Li Shengli... after the first game ended and before the second game started, he spent all his time in training, not only to maintain his physical condition, but also to work hard to recover his shooting.

…

"You haven't finished practicing yet? How long has this guy been practicing? He doesn't want to eat?"

"Who knows, maybe the blow was too great?"

On the sidelines of the training ground, Kidd and Garnett muttered a few words, while Curry rolled his eyes at the two of them, "You two don't seem to have been hit. How did you get beaten in the first game? Don’t you have any points yourself?”

"Ahem, it's quite miserable, but you can't blame me, right?" Kidd touched his head and immediately shied away the blame, "It's Kevin, that's right, it's you. What happened to you when you were guarded by Rodman? Attack If you don’t play well, you won’t be able to defend well.”

"Damn, you're so shameless. It's pointless to rely on me. Besides, so many of you are going to double-team Jordan. How can Lee and I defend? If you have to rely on... just rely on Brother Curry. "Garnett felt that he had been wronged, so he changed hands and handed the blame to Curry.

"Go away, I've only been playing for a few minutes, you guys need some shame!" Curry rolled his eyes, obviously not interested in this topic, "Okay, no more joking, how are you going to play in the next game? Seriously, We are not the same Pistons we were back then, and if we don’t play dirty tricks, the effect of the three-person double team will be compromised.”

"I think so too, but the problem is that the Bulls' lineup is deeper than ours. Let's not talk about the main force. Kukoc and Cole can play the main role as substitutes, so we can only lose more and more. Kevin , you have a lot of ideas, what can you tell me?" Kidd glanced at Garnett next to him.

"Let me tell you, the problem is all with Jordan. Why don't we let Crotty go... and destroy Jordan? You know, let alone Jordan, as long as Lee opens his mouth, he will let Crotty beat Stern. This lunatic dares." Garnett covered his mouth as if he was afraid of being heard, while Curry and Kidd covered their faces and didn't want to talk. They felt that what this person said was just like farting, and it had no value other than polluting the air. ah.

…

"Kevin, what are you muttering about?" Li Shengli finished shooting the last ball and saw Curry and others coming over. "I think you are full of bad intentions. What did you say?"

"Nonsense, am I that kind of person?" Garnett sat down on the floor, pulling Li Shengli, Curry, and Kidd to sit down with him, "Li, what do you think we should do in the second game? According to Judging from the previous double-team situation, there is no hope at all. If we don’t change our tactics, we probably will do what Jordan said and just pack up and get out.”

"Why, you have such an idea, do you want to be a coach?"

"No, we have to find a way."

"Okay, let me think about it..." Li Shengli felt uncomfortable sitting, so he simply lay down on the floor, while Curry and Kidd also lay next to him, sleeping in Buddha style, with their heads facing him. , I would say he hugged him from left to right, but the smell was weird, but Garnett didn’t have any room, so he could only squat on tiptoes above his head, face to face, and gave him a full set of the team’s big clothes. health care.

"Actually, Coach Gordon has told me... This first game is a bloody lesson. Looking back at the second half, Cole's shot was too hot. It would be better not to double-team Jordan than not, so we next Find a balance between Jordan and others, and you can't always focus on Jordan alone."

"Don't keep an eye on Jordan? Lee, you're not outside. You don't know how perverted this person is." Kidd said.

"Don't be afraid. As long as their efficiency is not as abnormal as it was in the third and fourth quarters of the last game, we will definitely be able to keep up. The real problem is that our offense must be effective."

"How to fight? Your shoulder injury is really fucked up. If you don't have a mid-range shot, it's all at the basket. The fifth position player they released only needs to have a number of fouls. Can your free throw shooting keep up?" Li sighed.

"That's why I'm training to recover, but... don't worry too much, we still have Kevin."

"Me?" Garnett frowned when he heard the words coming to him, "That Rodman is a gangster. It's a bit difficult for me to fight him alone. Even if he double-teams you, it's hard for me to do it right away." When I receive your pass, everyone is staring at the connection between me and you."

"Don't just look at me, look at Kidd, he will help you."

"So this is what the coach means, is this our approach? Nothing seems to have changed..."

"Brother, what do you think this finals is? Come up with a tactic on a whim, then kill everyone, and finally defeat the Bulls? Why don't you watch the movie Ewing and the others made?" Li Shengli rolled his eyes.

"That movie... I watched it. It's not good, it's a bad movie!"

"Can you please stop talking nonsense? Seriously, if Rodman hadn't taken all the rebounds off your head, we could have messed up our shooting tactics. But there aren't many solutions we can think of right now. All we can do in terms of tactics is fine-tuning. , it depends on our own performance on the spot, the coach is also thinking of a way, wait and see." Li Shengli finished, "Where is the Crotty man, why didn't you see him?"

"He, he's been watching video tapes these days." Kidd, who had been silent, responded.

"Video? Oh, is it what I thought?!" Curry suddenly became excited.

"It should be... right?" Kidd touched his head, "It tells the story of a scantily clad black man who bravely fought against the enemy."

"Anti-rape? Damn it, such a bizarre plot? Crotty, this guy can't usually tell, but he's secretly quite exciting?" Curry became even more excited, "Tell me more details, what's the name of the protagonist?"

"Ahem...the protagonist is Gary Payton, and the villain is Michael Jordan."

"How do you feel about this name... Damn, are you kidding me?" Curry exploded.

"You're just being naughty and you're blaming me?" Kidd shrugged and said he wouldn't take the blame. "The best single defense against Jordan was Payton. Crotty was watching Payton's game videos to learn from it. As for you taking the initiative to expose him? It’s really… so embarrassing.”

"You're so embarrassed, I'll beat you to death, you bastard!"

…

On the eve of preparations for the second game.

Everyone in the Mavericks took the initiative to adjust their mentality, and joking around could relieve the pressure. However, the schedule of the finals was still relatively tight. After the first game, they only had two days to recuperate, but two days were enough.

It's just that if the Bulls still get beaten badly by the Bulls despite adjusting tactics in this second game, then there won't be much hope for this round of finals. Even if it's just 2:0, there are also 2:4 and 3: in history. 4. The battle of counterattack is not suitable for this finals, because the Bulls have an overwhelming advantage at this time.
