Bulldozer of the NBA’s Restricted Area

The first day of the new season has just been played.

Because there are so many games, there will be big and small highlights in each game, and after the media filters the news... all the focus is of course still on the teams with the biggest lineup changes in the new season.

The first is Spurs VS Timberwolves.

When David Robinson faced off against Li Shengli last season, he played close and hard. Now he is in the recovery stage. He did not play in this game, and misfortunes never come singly... The core Robinson was seriously injured, and the entire team was full of injured soldiers. The Spurs were immediately defeated by the Timberwolves in the first game. The entire team only scored 78 points.

Unlike the Spurs, the Rockets have formed a Big Three lineup for the new season.

The fighting power of the combination of Olajuwon + Barkley + Drexler made people sick. Olajuwon had 24 points, 8 rebounds, and 3 assists; Drexler had 22 points, 7 rebounds, 10 assists; Barkley 20 points, 33 rebounds, 2 assists, 2 blocks.

The Big Three's data accounted for a frighteningly high proportion. The team's data for rebounds alone was 58, while the opponent Kings' data was 30, which was almost double.

Except for the Spurs and Rockets.

The Jazz are also very strong this season. The double-destructive combination of Malone and Stockton has jointly scored more than half of the team's points and assists, defeating the SuperSonics.

…

As far as the west is concerned.

The Spurs are basically lying down, but the Jazz and Rockets have become the two most competitive teams this season. However, no one in the league can ignore the existence of the Lakers. After all, Li Shengli's triple-double today of 28+28+10 is absolutely It's stunning.

On the other hand, looking at the east...

For the Miami Heat, Alonzo Mourning had 26 points and 12 rebounds, Tim Hardaway had 20 points and 12 assists, and they defeated the Hawks; the Knicks' new New York Gang, Ewing and Larry Johnson also contributed a lot. , swept the Raptors away from home.

But to be honest, the game that attracted the most attention in the entire Eastern Conference was the game between the Bulls and the Celtics.

Everyone knows how powerful the Bulls are. The Big Three teamed up to score 61 points, Jordan accounted for 30, and even Rodman scored 13 points. On the other hand, the Celtics... O'Neal did not have a comfortable life. He scored 24 points, The 20-rebound data was not as good as the Bulls led by Jordan, who lost the entire game by 9 points.

…

The first day was a fight between gods and goddesses.

Although Li Shengli was 2 points behind Jordan in scoring, 5 points behind Barkley in rebounds, and 3 points behind Stockton in assists, the 28+28+10 triple-double data combined by various data overshadowed today's All gods.

But the gods are not all in the world of becoming famous.

There is also one rookie in the 1996 class who has joined the ranks of the gods, and that is Allen Iverson, the 76ers' No. 1 pick this year. In his first game as a rookie, he made 12 of 19 shots, including two three-pointers, and 4 of 6 free throws. He scored 30 points, 2 rebounds, 6 assists, and 1 steal. He has the most explosive statistics today besides being a famous superstar.

…

Back to the Lakers.

Since there was no game the next day, and the second game was at home and scheduled for two days later, there was no need for the Lakers to rush back and went straight to the hotel to sleep after the game.

On the bus back to the hotel...

The talk of the entire Lakers team revolves around today's game. Whether it is the Lakers' own game or the performance of other competing teams, it is the focus of discussion. After this game, Li Shengli's skills are enough to convince everyone.

However, compared with the excitement in the front row, the atmosphere in the back row of the bus was obviously much more depressing. The two rookies Fisher and Knight were unhappy. The former did not get a chance to play, and the latter did not have the ball when he did. Look at Kobe's eyes red with envy.

"Kobe, you made a lot of money today. Apart from Iverson, you are the second best in our class this time." Fisher blew Kobe, then sighed, "Knight also played well and badly for a while. , I was the worst, I didn’t even have a chance to play. Seriously, Kobe, you have to help me, go talk to Lee and give me a chance in the next game."

"It's the coach's business to hire people. What's the point of Li saying?"

"Nonsense, look at Harris... this guy just hugged Li and licked him twice. Li just said one thing and supported us with a hundred words. I, Fisher, don't want to be treated like a water cooler player all the time." Fisher. Your eyes are full of expectation.

It's not that Fisher is overly worried.

In fact, Fisher's pick this year is indeed not high. There are too many players coming and going in the league every year. There are fifty or sixty newcomers in a year, but the elimination rate is also astonishing. Many people are worried that one day he will become the The league is homeless, facing the dilemma of having no ball to play, and those who have been reduced to marginal players before this are struggling every day, which is completely different from the glory of the super giant.

To put it bluntly, these people's already meager wages are deducted 70% and 80%. It is difficult to rent a decent house and it is normal to build a floor in the arena.

There are even some people who don’t even have enough to eat. They have to pay for their own food when playing at home. It’s better to have food subsidies when playing away games. If you’re lucky, you can get subsidies with your teammates that the bosses don’t like, even if there are only a few dollars in the envelope. Ten dollars, but that’s still up for grabs.

Take Crotty, for example.

If it weren't for the appearance of Li Shengli, maybe there would be no such person in the vast tide of the league, and all the above-mentioned misfortunes would be added to him, so it is not difficult to understand... why Crotty in the Jazz is a madman, so crazy that he has no bottom line. Dare to kill anyone.

For fringe players, carrying bags, handing water, and handing towels are all still rudimentary. After every game, there are always people rushing to the locker room to prepare trivial things for the main players. It seems that they don’t even want the last dignity. , but if you don’t want to stand out, who would want to be someone’s grandson?

Let’s talk about Fisher.

Although this is not the case yet, it is always good to prepare for a rainy day. Kobe's treatment makes him envious, even jealous. On the other hand, Li Shengli's professional height... that is what he dreams of achieving.

…

"Kobe, what do you think? Go and tell me. I'm treating you today."

"Let's go." Kobe glanced at Fisher with a hint of disgust, "I didn't perform well today, and I'm not in the mood to go to dinner with you, but... you can write it down for me first, and wait until I get the results. , let me give you a hand."

"Will you give me a hand?" Fisher touched his chin and thought about it for a moment. With his current behavior...Li Shengli treated Kobe like this, and he really couldn't stop Kobe from taking off. "Okay, I'm optimistic about you, but what can we say? Okay, when you get ahead, don’t forget me, I’m just holding your thigh.”

"Whatever you want. By the way, I'll go back to the hotel later and I'm looking for a place to practice. Do you want to come?"

"Practice? Brother, do you know what time it is now? You are crazy!" Fisher pointed to the time on his watch. "Either you are crazy or I am crazy. It will be almost 12pm when we get back to the hotel." Come on, everyone knows this is supposed to be bedtime."

"No, I have to prepare for the next game. Lee gave me the opportunity, so I must repay him with a long-lasting, perfect state and ensure that I can help him on the field anytime and anywhere."

A lasting, perfect state?

Do you want to help Li Shengli anytime and anywhere?

This... this Ta Ma is Li Shengli's little fanboy?

Fisher didn't know what Kobe was thinking, practicing ball in the middle of the night, "Crazy, I won't accompany you!"

"Whatever, I'll go find Crotty."

"Damn it, unless Crotty is also a psychopath..."
