Bulldozer of the NBA’s Restricted Area

Without waiting for a while, Li Shengli and his brothers survived the uncomfortable pre-match time.

The game finally started, and in addition to the abnormality in the locker room before the game, Li Shengli also found that O'Neal and Garnett were very excited when they came on the court. There was a hot pole dance before the game, and O'Neal was responsible for dancing and accelerating. Nate does...pole.

"What's wrong?" Li Shengli was stunned for a moment.

"Damn it, these two people are not allowed to be taken for a urine test?" Da Ben cursed.

"It's inexplicable. Why do I feel weird tonight? What do you think, Crotty?" Kobe turned to ask Crotty, and Crotty nodded to express that he felt the same way.

"Don't worry about it, I know these two people, they will be honest after a beating!"

"Let's go, the starter will follow me first, the others will check the situation later."

…

Until before the start of the game, when the players from both sides were in position, Li Shengli and O'Neal met in the midfield. The two of them didn't even say anything nonsense and just stared straight into their eyes. This was the first time the Celtics played in the championship after their reorganization. The Lakers have special meaning.

At the same time, the Celtics are also an unseen target for the Lakers to eliminate Farley from winning consecutive championships. They are considered one of the most threatening teams in the Eastern Conference.

Beep!

The referee threw the ball, and suddenly Li Shengli rose to the sky. He got the jump ball ahead of O'Neal and passed it to Nick.

In the first attack, Kobe shot around the screen from the outside. Compared to the gorgeous offensive moves, it was obviously more practical and efficient to go around the screen. Li Shengli only felt that Kobe was becoming more sophisticated.

Uh-huh! !

Simply hit and retreat quickly.

…

Back to the Celtics offense.

Although the two guards Dee Brown and Dana Burrows do not have terrifying all-round offensive capabilities, O'Neal and Garnett do not need them to attack comprehensively.

O'Neal is responsible for the inner ring, Garnett is responsible for the middle ring, and the two guards are responsible for the outer ring.

In fact... what Barros is best at is three-pointers, averaging 4.4 three-pointers per game and shooting 41%.

As for the small forward, rookie Ron Moser will join Garnett to form a mid-range firepower network.

To be honest, this kind of lineup cannot be compared with the Spurs, but compared with the Lakers...

The Lakers played on two fronts, with Li Shengli and Kobe playing one inside and outside.

The Celtics are obviously more extreme. They basically only play in the interior. Head coach Rick Pitino even increased the pressure in the interior and sent Moser, the sixth overall pick this year, to O'Neal and the Celtics. Serving as Nate's subordinate will increase O'Neal's ball-distribution options after he attracts double-teams in singles.

Thus……

O'Neal has many options nearby. This is the Celtics' grouping tactic.

Li Shengli has much fewer choices. After all, both Horry and Fox at the small forward play a little more outside than the Celtics' Moser. If he wants to distribute the ball to his teammates on the weak side or outside, Nick has to pass through. To a certain extent, the best time to take action from the weak side is affected.

…

Of course, the Celtics' established tactics are only the general direction, and wartime adjustments are also necessary.

Beat the Lakers and Li Shengli?

As a last resort, Rick Pitino didn't want to consume O'Neal's physical energy, and this attack actually used O'Neal as a tactical starting point...

Garnett pulled Ben and ran to the right, but Ben couldn't let go of Garnett, the Celtics' main attacker.

Burrows was running outside the three-point line, and Kobe couldn't take care of him inside.

Brown's position is relatively mobile, shuttling around the court with Nick, two smaller men.

As for the one holding the ball, Moser hit Fox in the low post on the left. It seemed that his strength had the upper hand. After backing up, he turned around and threw Fox away to attack the inside...

Damn it?

Did I drag everyone away on horseback?

Li Shengli didn't have time to think too much. He could only rush forward by himself, and he could only switch defenses with Fox who was following him. After O'Neal slipped to the basket, there was a Fox hanging on his body...

Bang!

O'Neal took the ball and smashed it into the basket. He was so brutal that there was no way to explain it. Fox's face turned green. He felt like he was being carried by O'Neal and jumped off the building. After that, he even got a 2+1 ticket.

…

Something bad?

Li Shengli glanced at the Celtics led by O'Neal...

If he hadn't blocked Moser just now, Moser would have taken the shot and hit it very high.

Li Shengli wanted to block one first, and then allow Fox to foul O'Neal who was dunking. After all, everyone knows what O'Neal looks like at the free throw line, but... Fox was helpless and felt like he had been hit by a steel plate.

…

The game goes on.

O'Neal did not seek out Li Shengli for a strong fight because of tactical needs. Li Shengli also reduced the confrontation with O'Neal for the same reason. After all, no matter who hits whom, the effect of breaking the defense will not be good unless other positions are inaccurate. Only then will the ultimate weapon be used.

However, it was the Lakers who were the first to miss.

To be honest, Kobe's shooting is really not low, and it is also stable, but this game is at a slump. He misses no matter what... Unless he brushes the net directly, the iron rebound will not come out. He was hugged by O'Neal and Garnett who were inside.

What is even more exaggerated is that when dribbling in a certain area, the center of gravity will be lost inexplicably. Either one foot feels like it is in the air, or one foot feels that it is too high. Although it is not that obvious, it still affects the body's balance in fierce competitions.

On the other hand, the Celtics are very adaptable.

Because of the range, Garnett took Ben away, Burrows blocked Kobe from outside the three-point line, and Moser hit Fox and used his body to press him, which became the team's breakthrough point, either in isolation or attracting Li Shengli asked O'Neal to fight.

It only took one session.

The Lakers fell behind by 8 points, and Harris had to re-plan the defense map on the court during the break.

…

The problem now is Moser.

Fox can't stand it, Horry may not be able to do it, but Ben can.

Adjustable size is not a problem, because Garnett, who is good at bullying the weak and fearing the strong, will take over.

As for guarding Garnett, use a Campbell?

Regardless of the effect, the Lakers' overall offensive and defensive rotation speed must be gone, and the only way is to sacrifice Fox and Horry, who are opposite Moser, and foul O'Neal during the defense change time with Li Shengli.

This is just defense.

What was equally bad was the offense, because Kobe temporarily stalled, and Kobe was helpless.

"This floor..." Kobe wanted to curse.

"Just get used to it." Harris didn't blame Kobe.

In fact, he also saw the problem, because the Lakers are the team that knows the Celtics best. Even if Harris did not coach in the original yellow-green league era, famous players such as West and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar still know about it. .

floor?

The Celtics'... No. 1 hero and dynasty floor?

Although according to convention, the arena floor is basically replaced every 10 years, the Celtics do not replace it. In the words of the Green Kai management... On these floors, there are Russell's blood stains, Auerbach's cigarette ashes, Larry Bird's sweat can be called the Green Kai Wall of Merit.

Of course, not all of them should be replaced, but there will always be a few pieces of flooring that slip through the cracks.

Looseness and unevenness are normal, and this thing can still run... The dangerous areas you remember from last season are not necessarily from this season, and the death zones marked red in the regular season are not necessarily from the playoffs. , and can even change every round.

The city of institutions, Boston? !

It was okay when the record was bad in the past, but now... After O'Neal and Garnett logged in one after another, Boston's dynasty moved faster, making it really hard to guard against.

To be honest.

This is just a 'tradition' of the Garden Arena, and it can't be said to be directed at the Lakers. Although it has an impact on the game, the impact is not exaggerated. Just avoid that dynasty floor.

…

"Li, you attack first."

"Come on, Campbell, get ready to activate the internal connection!"

"Nick is off, Horry is on, switch defenses with Fox!"

"Kobe is off, Eddie is on, assist in the offense first, try your hand, and we'll talk about the rest later."

"Also...Kobe, tell Eddie to stay off that damn floor!"
