Bulldozer of the NBA’s Restricted Area

Are the Lakers advancing to the Western Conference?

Although when the final round of the Western Conference series was played, a large number of commentators predicted that the Lakers would advance, but the entire league was still shocked when they got this news, because... the Lakers are ranked eighth in the Western Conference, and To advance all the way to the finals with this lowest ranking is absolutely unprecedented.

They just want to win the championship, but everyone is still not optimistic about the Lakers. After all, the two teams in this season's finals have successfully met. The Bulls are described as an insurmountable chasm, and Li Shengli is... thinking about how to beat the Bulls. Even Biharris, the head coach, is interested.

…

The last game of the Rockets will be played on May 29th, and the first game of the Finals will be on June 1st.

Because the regular season rankings were too low, the Lakers had to play the opponent's home court first in every round, so they left for Chicago early on the 30th, leaving two days of preparation time, and the team rented the training ground. All I know are offensive and defensive drills for the Bulls system.

Center Knight, power forward Ben, small forward Horry, point guard Crotty, and shooting guard Kobe, the five-man group simulates the Bulls' triangle system. Just speaking, the lineup is similar to the Bulls' starting ratio.

Don't pay too much attention to the Bulls' center position.

Ben playing power forward feels a bit like Rodman. After all, both of them are defensive players.

Horry is definitely weaker than Pippen at small forward, but as an offensive supplement, it also fits Pippen's positioning in the triangle system. The same goes for Crotty, who is much worse than the Bulls' Ron Harper, but Ron -Harper is a defensive point guard, there are similarities.

The last one is Kobe.

This is his first time in the finals and his first major competition against Jordan. The entire league is proud to defeat Jordan. This is more valuable than any data, and the simulated Bulls system... is also very important to Kobe's own performance. important.

The simulated lineup was drawn. The opponent was of course Li Shengli leading the team, with Nick and Eddie as two guards, Campbell as a power forward, and Corsi as a small forward. The lineup configuration was not that particular.

…

On the training ground.

Seeing Kobe holding the ball, without covering, just leaning back and hitting Eddie who was guarding him directly in the face, Li Shengli became anxious, "Damn, Eddie, you go up and get him?"

"It's hard to defend against this backward move, and there's nothing I can do about it." Eddie was dumbfounded.

"I'll go, Li, are you serious?" Kobe's face turned dark.

"Don't talk to me, you think you are Jordan now, no, you are... fake Jordan!" Li Shengli yelled angrily: "Come on, keep fighting, you guys fight one more round!"

…

Because it is a defensive drill, there is not much emphasis on it.

Kobe led the team to attack again, and this time Eddie committed a foul. After Kobe hit the iron, Li Shengli pushed Knight away and rushed towards the backboard. However, Ben and Kobe's team were still struggling with Campbell, and the rebound was passed by Li Shengli. Easy to take.

"Damn it, Ben, don't you know how to grab this rebound?"

"Ah?" Big Ben touched his head, "Boss, no, I was stuck by Campbell. You have already reached the position, and I can't compete for it. Boss's heroic appearance can be regarded as a role model for our generation of insiders. I... "

"Shut up, who did you suck up to? Remember, you are Rodman now!" Li Shengli turned livid and cursed: "Damn it, if Rodman was here, the ball would have fallen into the feces. Chi, he will also find ways to dig it out. If you want to have sex with him, you must have this awareness."

"Keep going, Kobe, keep playing!!"

…

Another round.

This time, Kobe held the ball at the top of the arc and Eddie was the main defender. With a lateral movement, Kobe successfully broke through. This was the time to test the help defense. Li Shengli’s teammates stepped in and Kobe immediately gave it to Huo Huo. This fake Pippen... oh, he hit a three-pointer.

What's going on?

Was the goal scored?

Li Shengli feels a little troublesome. Although the four teammates he brings are very limited, the problem is that Kobe Bryant's team, which simulates the Bulls system, is not 100% Bulls. Just a simple sudden score can be handled so ugly. , can you really watch the finals?

Hit several times in a row.

Li Shengli discovered that Kobe really had a core talent, with good offensive methods and a good overall view. All the offenses he led were initiated from the outside, relying on Ben's rebounding skills and stable efficiency. No one rushed to the basket, and Li Shengli's defensive power was greatly reduced.

The other one is the defense led by himself.

Even though they knew the Bulls' routines, they were always a step slower in changing the defensive formation. It was really unforgivable. Although there was a reason why the triangle system was far away, the moving speed of Campbell and Kersey was really worrying, and they double-teamed their teammates. The handling of 'Fake Jordan' was feeble.

…

"For a change, Crotty, you come to us and defend Kobe alone!"

Li Shengli signaled Crotty to change teams because Eddie and Nick really couldn't hold down Kobe.

As soon as Crotty arrived, Kobe's offense immediately slowed down, and he also experienced the power of a defensive back that was different from Stockton but more fierce.

Super glue, iron crutches, small tricks.

The defense of the league at this stage has always been like this, Crotty is the leader, and competitive confrontation is not a battle of landlords. There must be physical contact. Looking at the first defense every season... there is no normal person, not even Jordan. They have all realized the true meaning of defense under the baptism of the entire league. He will do what others do to him, and he will directly enter the first defense.

But Li Shengli is still not satisfied with this result, because to be honest, there is no comparison between Kobe and Jordan at this stage.

Crotty can guard Kobe, but he may not be able to guard Jordan.

Kobe can suppress Eddie, but he may not be able to deal with Jordan or Bulls defensive point guard Ron Harper.

Basically, it can be said...the outside matchup in the finals will definitely be a disadvantage. Li Shengli wants to make the disadvantage smaller. Kobe and Crotty are both important, and the inside matchup will definitely be an advantage. Li Shengli wants to make the advantage bigger. , Ben needs to press Rodman on the backboard.

Of course, Kobe is currently leading the offense, and the weaknesses of the Lakers' defense are also on display. But what really belongs to the Lakers, to Li Shengli and Big Ben's inside meat grinder, and advantageous area, there is no demonstration in the drill, because there is Li Shengli here, always Stablize.

…

The Lakers beat the Bulls as if they were facing a formidable enemy! !

In fact, Chicago didn't relax either. Similar simulated confrontations occurred throughout the league, but it wasn't just the Lakers. At the same time... the Bulls were also conducting simulated drills, not practicing offense but practicing defense.

"Damn it, Longley, did you hit Lee like that?" Jordan was about to vomit blood at starting center Luke Longley. One-tenth of the ferocity is not even possible on a horse, so use force, use a little force."

Luke Longley was also going crazy at this moment, thinking... If I had Li Shengli's perverted ability, would I listen to you lecturing me here? I'm going to fly far away and become the boss of another team.

What should we do now?

Do it, do it with all your might!

Gritting his teeth, Luke Longley, a bulldozer without fuel, slumped toward the basket and hit a back-turning jumper. Rodman, who was on the defensive side, looked like he had eaten twenty pounds of TNT. , kicked his legs and jumped forward.

"Li Shengli, you damn bastard!"

Bang!

Head-on flying hat!

Luke Longley was almost overturned and fell to the ground. He couldn't help but yelled: "Dennis, you're crazy, I'm Luke Longley on the horse!"

"I don't care, you are that bastard!" Rodman was unreasonable.

"You... If you have the guts, just go and fuck him the day after tomorrow. How can you be a hero if you torment me..." Luke Longley wanted to cry now.

"I don't care, I'll train on you first!"

"You are shameless, you bully the weak and fear the strong!"

"Come on, stop talking nonsense!" Rodman geared up.

"You...what do you want to do?" Luke Longley was trembling with fear.

what?

Of course!

Rodman smiled cruelly, "Prepare to die. On behalf of all the old friends in the league who have been beaten by you... I want to sanction you, the number one bully in the league, Li Shengli!"
