Bulldozer of the NBA’s Restricted Area

Coming on stage in the fourth quarter.

Because the jump ball belonged to the Lakers, the Lakers attacked first in this quarter, but Crotty still held the ball and advanced past half court. When the opponent Kidd did not react, he lobbed directly from outside the three-point line. Passing inside, there is no worry that Miller will pose a threat to the pass.

Li Shengli wants to fight on his own?

Kidd took one look and knew that the biggest nightmare in this game started from this moment.

At this time, Miller held up Li Shengli at a high position. Due to his tonnage, Miller's confrontation was still strong enough. Unfortunately, he improved the confrontation at the expense of speed and jumping attributes.

You must know that the tonnage is large and the speed of adjusting the center of gravity is slow. After Li Shengli turned his back, he faked a tap to the left. After tapping Miller, he turned around and went straight to the basket from the right. At the same time... the Mavericks all The team didn't even look at it, because when Li Shengli jumped up and grabbed the ball with one hand to complete a dunk, Miller had just completed his turn and didn't even have a chance to foul.

…

The whole process started from Crotty's pass. Li Shengli ended the attack in only two seconds. This time was so short that Garnett didn't expect Miller to be so careless.

Without waiting for the players on the court to think too much, they returned to the Mavericks' offense.

The Lakers' new No. 4 player, Knight, was also a rookie and was used by Harris to face off against Miller, while Li Shengli followed Garnett to stay one step away from him.

Advance, not to mention blocking Garnett, but strong interference is still no problem; retreat, the entire assist defense area is even more exaggerated than Garnett.

But the Mavericks are not so vulnerable.

Kidd knew that he couldn't solve Garnett's predicament for the time being, but it was still feasible to create an environment for Curry, so he changed direction and made a fake move to force Kobe to retreat. He turned around and made a jump shot, successfully pulling away Crotty. The ball was transferred to Curry, and Curry did not disappoint and successfully hit the ball.

…

Just take the Mavericks' offense as an example...

If Crotty had not chosen to block Kidd, Kidd would have taken the shot himself, with a hit rate of 40%. Now that Crotty is rushing over, Curry's shot rate should be 60%. Above, but what you have to bear in the middle is the risk of the pass being intercepted.

On the other hand, the Lakers are too brutal.

When Crotty passes to Li Shengli, the risk of being intercepted is almost zero. Li Shengli plays with ease, basically running straight to the basket. Even if Garnett can fill in the position, the success rate of scoring is more than 80%. This is It's pure crushing at the center position.

So combine two attacks from both sides.

The Lakers' efficiency is super high and their offensive methods are simple and crude, but for the Mavericks, Kidd has to find ways to create space and opportunities for his teammates.

But the problem here is... In a complex offensive system, opportunities require a lot of passing and receiving, and the cost of the increased number of transfers is that the probability of mistakes increases, and the fault tolerance rate is also much lower than that of the Lakers.

…

The game continues.

Miller really tried his best to restrict Li Shengli... He didn't dare to defend closely outside the penalty area, because as long as his center of gravity shifted slightly, he needed time to adjust, and this time was enough for Li Shengli to turn back and squeeze to the basket, but it wouldn't work if he didn't close himself. Ah, the height of Li Shengli's shot meant that he couldn't even interfere except for fouling.

On the other hand, if he is in the penalty area, Miller can only choose to defend closely, but the problem is that Li Shengli scores from the left and right sides of the penalty area, and the closer to the basket, the more threatening Li Shengli is. There was no dunk, but the easy hook still killed Miller.

Just 4 minutes.

The Mavericks' offense largely abandoned Garnett as the main scoring point. Kidd burst out with all his strength and frequently provided exquisite assists. He led the other three to play an average offensive level, but the conventional efficiency was completely incomparable. The Lakers resisted because the Mavericks scored 8 points in 4 minutes, but the Lakers scored a full 18 points.

Li Shengli made 4 of 4 shots and 6 of 6 free throws, scoring 14 points. In addition, he also passed to Kobe twice, and Kobe also made 2 goals. Before counting, Li Shengli's current data has become 28 points, 28 rebounds, 10 assists, and 2 blocks, completing a double 28-point rebound and a super triple-double.

At this point, the Lakers' lead has successfully reached 11 points.

…

Is this the crushing of a super center?

The fans at the scene really couldn't imagine that the Mavericks' strength showed a cliff-like decline after losing Li Shengli.

In last season's playoffs, they defeated the Lakers in the first round, but this season, because of Li Shengli's change of sides, the widening gap really shocked everyone.

Easy, so easy!

Everyone can see that if the Lakers play like this earlier, the Mavericks will have no hope at all, because the Mavericks can no longer come up with any way to limit Li Shengli, and for this Lakers debut, Lakers fans also Thousands of jaws dropped in shock.

"Oh my god, this...is this the God of War Li?"

"Four minutes and 18 points?! There seems to be no precedent for us Lakers to have such an easy game in recent years, right?"

"No, since Kareem Abdul-Jabbar retired, our inside line has never had this kind of advantage. His triple-double of 28 is so... so amazing."

"Yes, this kind of data, if the offensive rebounds were not superimposed repeatedly in a single round, this lead definitely should not be the 11 points it is now."

"That's enough, that's enough. Our first performance is simply perfect!"

"There is hope, there is really hope. This improvement is too big. This playoff is going to be crazy, everyone is going to be crazy. Although this is the first game of the season, I can't wait any longer."

…

The reaction of the fans was the most direct, because the foundation of the league and team operations is the fan base, and the report card Li Shengli handed over in this game was so amazing that it reminded Lakers diehards of the show time era when they had five championships in nine years. , and at this time, the two generals from the Show Time era, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Magic Johnson, were still in the audience.

"Johnson, I really want to feel it on the court now." Kareem Abdul-Jabbar clenched his fists and glanced at his former teammate Magic, "Seriously, you should see that our era is coming back. Lee is my successor."

"Yeah, but man, it's not our era anymore, this is Lee's era!" Magic Johnson looked a little excited, thinking that he was once a prosperous Lakers player, and only realized it when he saw Li Shengli again. , the Lakers’ legacy torch has been rekindled.

"Yes, it's Li's era, but compared to the era of our No. 4 pick, the teammates around him are still far behind."

"It doesn't matter, everything that should be there will be there."

"I think so too, thank you Mavericks!"

…

At this time, Magic and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar looked up at the dome of the Mavericks' Reunion Arena, thanking the people of Dallas for their gift, because since the first dynasty of the Lakers opened by George Mikan and the second dynasty created by Show Time, The people of Dallas personally sent Li Shengli to Los Angeles, and the torch bearer of the Third Dynasty of the Zijin Empire appeared.

"The problem now is our lineup!" Magic stared at the Lakers' bench. "Although the strength of several main players is still passable, they just can't come together. I think our operations need to speed up. "

"What, did West talk to you about this?"

"Of course, you don't know if you're not doing anything right now. In fact, West and his team have told me a long time ago that Kobe is our first injection of fresh blood, and his upper limit should be good, and now he has I had a great time getting along with Li. The only thing I hope is that this little guy can grow up faster..."
