Bulldozer of the NBA’s Restricted Area

At this time, the entire rhythm of the game on the court was disrupted.

The Lakers' tactics after recruiting Li Shengli were... Li Shengli played singles to attract double teams, and then divided the ball to organize a wave of four-on-three. The most critical thing in this process was Li Shengli's singles ability, which must ensure stable scoring in one-on-one situations. Only then can you attract double-teams.

But in this game, the Lakers' tactics were directly improved!

Li Shengli's current singles performance is no longer stable, and his unparalleled 100% shooting continues. Even if the Jazz inside duo double-teams, he can still maintain 100% shooting, so for the Jazz, defense is Li Shengli's power could only be increased again, to three people! !

Let Li Shengli take 100% of the shots, but let other Lakers take shots, so even if the defense is missed in a large area, it is still worth it.

As a result, the Jazz really adopted an extremely rare three-person double-team defensive tactic.

Although the three-person double team did put pressure on Li Shengli, the problem is that the Lakers are used to having more people on the outside and fewer people. They have changed from the original four-on-three to the current four-on-two, which is more convenient, and Stockton has Hornacek couldn't care less, and Kobe was able to take off.

…

For the Jazz, this is an unsolvable dilemma and an unfair game.

The reason for being able to deal with the Lakers before was that on the one hand, Li Shengli's condition was not as good as tonight, and on the other hand, it was also the tactical needs of the Lakers. Jerry Sloan knew this very well, but tonight...Li Shengli, who had just been released from the ban for the first game, was too irritable. Yes, his personal status is definitely at the top of the league.

Even calling a timeout could not contain the Lakers' offensive, because the timeout opportunity was not prepared for this situation at all.

What can we do by calling people back?

Are you having a tea party? You should be able to prevent it, but you still can't!

…

Played until the end of the first half.

The first quarter was 32:42, the second quarter was 23:25, and the half-time score was 55:67.

On the offensive end, the Jazz scored 55 points in the first half, which is not a collapse. Utah's double evil will always maintain stable output.

But at the peak of the problem, Li Shengli had no way to deal with it. Although it was better to bring Blount with Big Ben, the defensive end was a little weak, but he could still overwhelm others on the offensive end. So after Li Shengli scored 25 points in the first quarter, he scored again in the second quarter. 17 points, 42 points at halftime.

Essentially, this is the ideal state of play.

Although they broke 100% in the second quarter and missed one shot, no matter what, it may not be so easy to replicate tonight, because 42 points in the half was enough to make people climax, and the entire Lakers home court fell into absolute despair. In the madness, even the basketball baby that everyone usually loves to watch is far less sexy than Li Shengli at this moment, and amid thousands of calls, the second half begins again.

…

55:67!

One thing to say is that Li Shengli's state only opened up a 12-point point difference. In fact, the problem is still huge.

The Lakers are too dependent on the offensive end. All their eggs are in Li Shengli's basket. However, Ben and Crotty, the defensive heroes they have been cultivating, are not there either. This leads to a lot of omissions on the defensive end and allows Malone and the Jazz to have fierce firepower from the outside. Unable to suppress it.

So it can be roughly understood that this is a game with no defense and all-out offense. It is not surprising that the scores soar. The key to the game is...which side's efficiency will decrease and by how much.

Although there was a 12-point difference for the time being, essentially the outcome was still a 50-50 split between the two sides. Jerry Sloan was not so panicked because he felt that Li Shengli would not be able to play the entire game.

As long as Li Shengli is free for half a quarter, the Jazz can take the lead. Even if he really plays the whole game, he does not believe that Li Shengli can maintain this efficiency, but the Jazz is different... sufficient firepower makes the rotation smoother.

Harris also saw the same problem.

It's not that other positions can't be played, but they are definitely not as efficient as Li Shengli. So what the Lakers have to do is to mobilize all members and give Li Shengli all the help he needs, so that he can achieve the highest efficiency in the limited time. In the second half... the Lakers... Follow through.

…

"Here it comes, it's still Li!!"

"You can't slide down when you hit. If you slide down, the game will hang in the balance!"

"The Jazz are double-teaming. Lee chooses a high-position jump shot? This is not a shooting position he is familiar with..."

"It's over, missed!"

Seeing Li Shengli miss this jump shot, the home fans were a little disappointed, but everyone knows that they can't ask more for Li Shengli. What is surprising is... Li Shengli's shot was low, and the ball hit the basket and bounced. He came back, instantly ejected and pushed back the ball that had collapsed.

…

"Jazz wants to be double-teamed by three people?!"

"Breaking the ball, Lee passed the ball, Nick passed the ball to Kobe, Kobe went around the screen and scored...hit?"

"Damn it, it's Lee again, Lee got the rebound? Quick, the Jazz's defense is scattered, hurry up and take action!"

"Yes, Ness, Lee is in again."

"How many points does Li have? Where's my God fan meeting?"

"5...55 points. Damn, there is still a chance, no, there is a very good chance to break into the historical scoring list again!"

…

At this moment, everyone on the Jazz was so depressed that they were about to vomit blood, and Jerry Sloan was the same.

The significance of the Jazz's choice of three-person double-teaming is to prevent Li Shengli from losing the opportunity to attack first. Even if the Lakers are allowed to play four-on-two in other positions and on the outside, the efficiency cannot be higher than Li Shengli's.

At present, the strategic purpose of double-teaming has been achieved, but Jerry Sloan has encountered another problem, and that is Li Shengli's second attack! !

Li Shengli didn't play the first attack. He distributed the ball to the outside. The players double-teamed by the Jazz must go out to support. It is not strictly a four-on-two game. Because the time in between is very short, the Lakers won the first offensive opportunity in each round. .

Looking at the third quarter alone, excluding Li Shengli's Lakers, the efficiency is really not high, but it is different if Li Shengli is included.

The Jazz always surround Li Shengli with three people. The problem of Li Shengli's second offense can be solved, but the outside becomes a real four-on-two. Without pressure, there will be trouble if he can't play efficiently.

But to prevent being beaten four-on-two, the three double-teamers had to come out with support. Li Shengli had another trick and could blow up his own center in an instant.

Although the Jazz still maintain a higher scoring efficiency than before, the problem is that the Lakers are even higher. After the third quarter, Jerry Sloan listened to the thunderous cheers of the audience and looked at Li Shengli's statistics. Li Shengli was killed.

63 points in three quarters? !

This kind of scoring is killing people. If this rhythm continues, Li Shengli's 72 points scored with the Jazz will not be able to hold back, and it is very likely that he will refresh his own record.

From the third place on the all-time scoring list with 72 points, he rushed up in one fell swoop, behind Chamberlain's 100, before Thompson's 73, and Baylor and David Robinson's 71.

To be honest, in this list of the top ten points in history, if you consider repeating the list, the current top five should be Chamberlain, which is 100, 78, 73, 73, and 72. It can be said that he is the No. 1 player in the long history of the NBA. A big guy, and if you have to say that someone is so abnormal that he can still score against Chamberlain in today's environment, there is only one man named Li Shengli in the entire league. He is not only catching up now, but also has unlimited possibilities in the future.

Assuming that the 78 barrier is really broken tonight, it will undoubtedly be recorded in history.

Another one, as of now, Li Shengli still has 13 rebounds and 8 assists in two figures over 5. Even if he were to leave the game now, these statistics would be enough for Lakers fans to brag about for several seasons, not to mention that Li Shengli may not be released yet.

…

Rest time between three and four quarters.

"Damn it, is Lee going to have another miracle night? Now he has 63 points. Even if he only scores 9 points in the final quarter, he will tie his own record..." Stockton really felt powerless now, even if he played better It's no use, this kind of despair lingers.

"Tie his own record?! No, don't even think about it. I won't allow it. He should break 80 points. This is him!" Ma Long clenched his fists and cursed: "Damn it, I'm going to let it go. Don't stop me, whoever stops me will be the one I'm in trouble with!"

"Shut up!" Jerry Sloan looked at Malone's quarrel and felt very uncomfortable. "It seems like you can't get it without giving up. Just admit it. No matter what we do, tonight I can’t even suppress him!”

"Coach, what do you mean, you want to ruin Li's good deeds?"

"Go away, I have never been so shameless, especially to Li! Now we are 16 points behind. What I am worried about now is... Li, this kid, won't fight!"

Jerry Sloan looked ugly and lowered his voice, because the Jazz had undergone a major blood change and it was difficult to explain this kind of thing clearly, so Malone also whispered back, "How is it possible that Harris dares to play him at this time? All Lakers fans are like this. Look, do you still want to hang out?"

"It's not Harris, but Li himself. If the point difference continues to widen, he will definitely not be willing to step on us and not fight us. You know, this little bastard has no interest in data and is only thinking about beautiful things! "

"Are you even interested in god-level data?" Ma Long didn't believe in evil, but after thinking about the old man's words, he immediately said: "No, what do you mean, do you still want me to use money to seduce him? I was stepped on by him and knocked out of my mind. Level data, I have to pay to seduce him when I'm riding a horse, am I cheap or not?"

"Damn it, is your brain full of muscles? What I mean is that you and John tighten up, get the points back to me, lock Li on the court and don't move, and don't move either, tonight is all about hard work. It will take four quarters to come out!"

"Damn it, I feel so aggrieved. We are working so hard just to let this bastard step on us and get the upper hand. Will anyone believe this?"

"Why do you care so much? There are not only teammates and players here tonight, but also friends. Without him, you have a ring?"

"Hey, I don't want to admit it, but..."

"No buts, give me something to do. Be more aggressive on the offensive end, and I'll make arrangements on the defensive end. Really speaking... all we did was to dispel his concerns. In fact, we are still looking for comeback opportunities, so there is no need to be mentally burdened!"

Jerry Sloan seemed to be saying this to himself. After pushing away Malone, he turned up the volume and began to lay out final tactics. At this moment, Utah's two demons also exploded with evil energy, far less than before... civilization.

…

As for the Lakers bench at this moment, the general battle also kept his voice down.

"Li, don't cause trouble for me. If you don't fight now, tomorrow... no, our die-hard fans will shoot me dead as soon as I get off work. I won't even be able to leave our home stadium!" "

"Is it that serious?"

"Nonsense, peak night, this is your peak night! If you don't make it, no one else needs to do anything, I'll kill you right now."

"No, then I can't play the whole game. I'm very tired! Why don't I take a break and play again!"

"Damn it, I'm not afraid of others calling me a tough guy. What are you afraid of? No, I'm going to fuck you to death tonight. You can't be tired!" Harris was so crazy that he lost his mind.

"You're not going to fuck me, are you? You want to see me die, right? Okay..."

"What do you think this is? A bench, yes, I can give you a bench headshot!"

"What is this? Tactical board, yes, I can even show you how to cut your throat with the tactical board!"

"If it doesn't work, I won't even use the props, I'll just show you a cerebral infarction, and I'll die first and catch you off guard!"

"Don't worry, there are still many ways to die for me..."
