Bulldozer of the NBA’s Restricted Area

0 out of 4 at first, 1 out of 8 now.

Harris really gave Kobe a hard time, but Li Shengli was not in a hurry at this moment, because in essence... the game is about scoring, scoring depends on hits, and hits depend on more shots, and more shots will return. On to the backboard.

Whoever gets the rebounds wins the world!

Although this statement is somewhat one-sided, the importance of rebounding is self-evident.

Putting aside some mistakes, offensive rebounds in the frontcourt can increase the number of shots taken by one's own team and make up for the lack of hits. Defensive rebounds in the backcourt can reduce the number of shots taken by the opponent and are equivalent to defensive reinforcement. Therefore, both offense and defense, and rebounds are crucial data.

…

As far as this game is concerned, the Jazz came back strong, but the Lakers have a stronger lineup compared to the lineup at the beginning of the season, and everyone wants to know how good this undrafted pick can be in the playoffs...

Unlike the original Garnett, the two have two different styles.

What Garnett liberated was Li Shengli's right to take action after being restricted!

Ben does all the dirty work on both ends of the offense and defense, and rarely plays offense. This is something Garnett has never done. The effect is that Ben gives Li Shengli a suppressive power in all aspects. reached its peak.

Therefore, Li Shengli was also targeted.

The style of play when partnering with Garnett is to deflect conflicts and moves, with an emphasis on avoiding his sharp edges.

The gameplay of partnering with Daben is to enhance confrontation and hard-core cracking, emphasizing a violent duo.

In this way, the interior defense is basically built into an iron wall, and the rebounding advantage is greatly improved. But the problem is... defense alone is not the way to win the game. Someone still has to take the right to take the shot, and the one who carries the offensive banner in this game is Kobe.

…

Crotty advanced, and Ben moved to the high post to cover and set up a screen for Kobe.

It's just that the quality of the pick-and-roll was not high. Kobe failed to get around the screen and encountered Stockton's defense. Stockton, a legendary point guard in active duty who defended a team of defenders, was unambiguous at all. Coupled with the home court advantage, the effect of single-handedly defending Kobe was Obviously, Kobe could only choose to fall back if he wanted to break out but couldn't.

To be honest, this may be the first time for Kobe Bryant to play in a more intense playoff game. The slow-heating phenomenon is a bit serious. He has only taken 8 shots and his touch is gradually getting better. This fadeaway shot was in front of Stockton's face. , drew a perfect parabola, and fell steadily into the basket.

"pretty!!"

"What a ball!"

Ben and Crotty were overjoyed and shouted twice, while Malone and Stockton showed disgusting expressions. Especially Malone showed a helpless expression towards Li Shengli and said: "Damn it, Li Shengli , what are you doing? Is this your first day playing in the NBA? Is this a good shot? Is 2-for-9 a big deal?"

"What's wrong with you? Stand at attention and get beaten!" Li Shengli was even more disgusted than Malone. After speaking, he shouted directly to his teammates: "Defense, stop them, Kobe... keep going!"

"Okay, charge forward and use defense to break up their formation."

"Kobe, come on!"

"Come on, Hornacek."

"Come here, Malone!"

…

Kobe Bryant stepped back and scored a goal, and the Lakers became inexplicably excited, and back to the Jazz offense... The Utah duo once again used their signature combination of pick-and-rolls, but this time Malone was caught by Big Ben. Although Kobe Bryant The position was stuck, but Li Shengli made up for Stockton.

"Li, look back, you missed it!"

Stockton yelled that he was too aware of Li Shengli's perversion, so he could only delay the passing time as much as possible. After ensuring that Li Shengli's turn would not interfere with Greg, he finally passed the ball to Greg.

Miss someone?

Missing who?

"Ben!" Li Shengli didn't panic at all, turned around and rushed towards Ma Long.

"Fuck you Greg!" Ben let go of Malone and rushed towards Greg in one stride.

In just an instant, Li Shengli and Ben completed the defense change. Logically speaking, there was a time lag in between, but in fact Li Shengli knew it well and informed Ben before the game, so Ben's action was timely and Greg didn't have time. He was punished on the spot when he took action.

The penalty stand was still the first step. Greg's back hit was directly turned into corporal punishment by Big Ben.

A collision and a top, and Greg was pushed out suddenly. The advantage of the position near the basket that he had originally seized was gone. He could only distribute the ball and give it to Stockton to reorganize.

The problem is that after reorganizing, the result is still the same.

The Jazz claimed to have turned the pick-and-roll into a tactical system, but Li Shengli led a violent attack. The two big men were full of intimidation. However, this round lasted for 20 seconds, and Stockton and Malone became anxious. Bryan, who has a good touch, can only beat Horry in isolation.

The goal was scored, but it was relatively reluctant. The problem suddenly broke out. Jerry Sloan suddenly discovered that the Lakers' inside combination could make the Jazz unable to score? !

…

As far as the Jazz are concerned at this time...the team's offense has problems, but it's not a big problem. At least this time Bryan was in good condition and took over some of the shots Malone gave up. But gradually the Jazz team found that even the defense was not good enough. Something went wrong, and the 20,000 people who were mocking Kobe just now couldn't stand it anymore.

"Trash, 0 for 4 in the opening game, I can do it even if I do it!"

"It's useless, 1 for 8 in half a quarter, this feels like a noob!"

"Did he score this goal? Hmm, 2 for 9, just average. He went around the screen and shot backwards, I hit me... No, but most players can do it."

"3 out of 10? This guy's condition seems to be improving."

"4 out of 11, damn, the inside line is empty. This kid... can still fly?"

"5-for-12, damn, he started one-on-one against Stockton?"

"6 out of 13, what the hell, why did this shit happen all of a sudden?"

"7 out of 14? How could this happen, 6 in a row?"

"The guy who stepped on my horse is stupid. He made 8 out of 15, over 50%, and made 7 consecutive goals. This is still a three-pointer. Does he still have the ability to make three-pointers?"

…

Why did it suddenly become like this?

In the first half of the first quarter, Kobe's poor shooting dragged the Lakers into a disadvantage, but he took off in the second half, hitting 7 consecutive shots, including a three-pointer. From hell to heaven... this man only needed less than 6 minutes.

Until the Lakers offense in the last round of the first quarter.

This time, Kobe didn't even need a screen. Facing Stockton, he alternately dribbled with his back, faked a sudden retreat, and after forcing Stockton back, he directly pulled out and scored 8 consecutive goals. The whistle that ended the first quarter also sounded at this time, and both sides looked at Kobe solemnly.

…

Jazz wise...

Hornacek: "Oh my God, what are we doing? Why are we falling behind?"

Karl Malone: ​​"Damn it, are this bastard Ben and this beast Li cut out of the same mold? I'm going to vomit."

Stockton: "Me too, Kobe, I can't hold it in anymore, I feel like... Jordan is coming?"

Hornacek: "Jordan?! Do you think too highly of him?"

Stockton: "That's it for Jordan at his peak, unless he can hit 9-for-8."

Karl Malone: ​​"Damn it, how can these guys be so strong? Kobe Bryant can't do the same tonight..."

Stockton: "No, no way, absolutely no way."

…

The Jazz left the game cursing. On the Lakers side, Li Shengli, Ben and Crotty also looked at each other, and the three brothers were also stunned.

"What's going on with Kobe?" Crotty scratched his head.

"I don't know, but...it seems like nothing will happen to us." Ben didn't lie. Kobe became smoother and smoother, going 8-for-8 without even a single offensive rebound. "Lee, what should we do now? Kobe... …Already crazy!”

what to do?

Do you still need to ask about this horse riding? !

"He's crazy, then let him continue to be crazy!" Li Shengli was overjoyed, pulling Ben and Crotty and saying: "Brothers, listen up, this should be the climax of Kobe's state, but I'm not sure how long he can maintain it, so ...No matter what Harris says for a while, focus his shots in the next quarter and let Kobe continue to fire, seize the moment!"

"Will the Jazz double-team him? Isn't this the Bulls' style of single-point play from the outside?"

"Yes, concentrating too many shots will lead to being targeted, and it may also affect his data."

"Don't think so much, you'll find out after you fight." Li Shengli said.

At this moment, Kobe's whole feeling was different. He walked towards Li Shengli, and Li Shengli hugged Kobe, "Kobe, how long can you keep this up?"

"20 years!"

"Why didn't I see that...you are pretty good at blowing? I'm asking you how long you can maintain this state."

"Really, I feel like I can stay in this state for 20 years!"

"You... OK, let's start from tonight." Li Shengli touched his head and said: "Kobe, if you keep this state, the Jazz won't let you play in singles, so be careful in the next quarter and I'll give you a try tonight. the limit.”
