Bulldozer of the NBA’s Restricted Area

It's game time.

Because wherever Li Shengli goes, there must be sacrifices, and the first sacrifice tonight is Foster.

As soon as the referee threw the ball, Foster didn't even bother to fight for the jump ball. He jumped back to the backcourt to defend after a symbolic jump. However, the Jazz expressed understanding, and Li Shengli moved behind the ball...

Fisher advanced with the ball and passed to Li Shengli according to the pre-arranged tactical arrangement.

Li Shengli beat Foster with a back-up outside the penalty area.

Malone chased Campbell and ignored the center duel, seemingly giving up on treating Foster.

In fact, it was unwise to double-team him right from the start, because the Jazz needed to be sure of Li Shengli's state in this game, and the first goal was Li Shengli's single, with Jerry Sloan and Harris as the two main goals. The coach could see it clearly from the sidelines...

Suppression is certain, but after driving away Foster and entering the penalty area, Malone and Foster switched defenses. Li Shengli stumbled a bit when facing Malone's first shot. Fortunately, he shot and grabbed the ball at the rim to make up for it and succeeded. Score a goal.

…

Still can’t prevent it?

The Jazz's psychological counselor provided psychological counseling to the human shield demolition team before the game. Foster was beaten and cried by Li Shengli last season. Now he has accepted his powerlessness in front of Li Shengli and is even thinking...

Three centers, one for each, six fouls.

Can we, who are riding horses, still wear you down?

To be honest, the mentality during the game is still very important.

Accepting the reality, Foster completely let go of the game. Although he still couldn't stand it, it was a little better than before. At least it gave Malone a buffer time to make up for the basket, and Foster always remembered that he only had one quarter. , the foul was unnecessary, Ma Long hugged Li Shengli when he couldn't keep up.

Played until 10 minutes of the first quarter.

Li Shengli made a total of 8 free throws and only made 5 of them, because the shooting percentage does not need to be considered in the base number, but the problem is that the four opportunities for being fouled were all scored, which is equivalent to Foster's foul. The team fought for 3 points.

When he drove away Foster again, Malone went to the basket, and Foster went to Campbell instead.

The dislocation time here is very short. The ball that Li Shengli was not sure about had no time to find Fisher to transfer. He passed the ball hard to Campbell. However, Stockton led people to guard near the connection between Li Shengli and Campbell. The Jazz backcourt players forced the steal. Got two.

House seemingly endless rain.

Some of the shots were moved to the outside. Kobe led Fox and Fisher to hit the ball like crazy. It is estimated that the three brothers couldn't bear to listen to the sound of the ball. The farther they shot, the farther away they were, the less they could hear it.

This is still an offense.

The performance on the defensive end is exactly the same. After consecutive away games and finally ending in Salt Lake City, the Lakers are really exhausted. Sometimes everyone's condition is just a little bit worse and they are not very timely in following up on defense.

Until the end of the first quarter.

The Lakers actually fell behind by a full 9 points and were beaten 22:31. Among these 22 points, Li Shengli scored 11 points, which is not bad, but the problem is that the team is still behind.

…

"Oh, Lee, you finally got discouraged?"

"I thought you could continue 40+ with us."

The two demons sang and mocked each other, and the greetings between the three old friends were always so simple and friendly.

"Get out!"

Li Shengli's greetings also seemed very friendly, and he returned to the rest area with eyes wide open and angrily.

In fact, Harris was also in trouble in the Lakers dugout.

Before the game, I was thinking about the internal and external lines, who can't be replaced, but now it's too late to change blood, and everyone is confused.

Kobe's touch is not bad, but very poor, and so are several others.

But Harris didn't blame everyone too harshly. After all, he himself was very tired. Even if he didn't play, his rest time was generally in sync with the players. He could also feel the pain. The only way was... to rely on Li Shengli. A relatively stable offensive point to hit.

So, Harris started the substitutions in the second quarter.

Crotty tops Kobe.

It is determined that Li Shengli is purely offensive, and it is okay to take away Kobe's shots and switch to defense. After all, Hornacek and Stockton in the Jazz backcourt can make mid-range shots.

Big Ben Campbell.

The defense and rebounding have improved, and the offense seems to have declined, but to be honest, Campbell was blocked badly and his role was not as stable as it was originally.

Two defensive players?

Harris's last substitution was Horry to support Fox, sharing part of the shots. After all, no matter how hard he plays, it is impossible for Li Shengli to account for 100% of the shots. As for Fisher...

Nick needs to calm down for a while when he suddenly gets angry.

Crotty is already on the field and Fisher cannot be replaced at all, but he can still serve as an auxiliary attacker for the time being.

…

What the hell is this riding on a horse?

Is this Li Li who is going to tire me to death?

Can you, Harris, be the head coach if you are still on horseback?

Jerry Sloan was in great pain. As soon as he saw the substitution, he knew what bad fart Harris wanted to do. It was nothing more than to use Li Shengli to the extreme and grasp the offense and defense. Although there was no problem in the short term, everything was afraid of the beginning. If a problem arises and the person is thrown away, there is no guarantee that he or she will not get injured or injured.

If nothing else, in Jazz...

Malone and Stockton are famous throughout the league for how durable they are.

But even so, Jerry Sloan still used sparingly, making the health of Shuangsha astonishing to the entire league, even when Limas was originally formed.

The three brothers, Li Mas?

I hold it in my hand for fear of falling, and hold it in my mouth for fear of melting. I can't bear to be beaten or scolded. Why did we release a Li when we stepped on the horse? You, Harris, are here to kill people for me in front of me. use?

Sloan's mouth almost twisted in anger.

Are you considering whether to increase Li Shengli's suppression and force the Lakers to change their tactics? !

It's just that the second quarter has already been played, and Sloan can only take a look at the situation. While seeking victory, he really wants to teach the Lakers' white-furred fox Harris a lesson.

…

The first attack of the second quarter was the Jazz. Foster was gloriously laid off, and Ostertag, the reserve human shield, came up this time.

It is different from the Lakers' single-point defense.

The Jazz's main tactical starting point is the textbook pick-and-roll, and this time it is no different from before, that is, the Lakers' defensive intensity has been significantly increased.

Am I being defended?

Carl was still entangled by Ben?

Stockton did not force a shot and passed it to Hornacek who was running. Crotty was so familiar with his own lineup that he directly posted it. He could be surprised but not shot.

However, the real situation is that Hornacek couldn't even break out and was locked in place. When he went inside to find his teammates, the ball was knocked away by Crotty.

No need to remind him, Fisher picked up the ball and ran forward, hitting a fast break layup.

…

The Jazz attack after that.

Malone rarely had the opportunity to make air cuts, and he was disgusted by Big Ben in singles.

Hornacek was even worse. He suddenly became embarrassingly bald and even looked at Crotty and felt panicked.

When he first joined the Jazz, an 'old man' told him that during the two consecutive championships, the one with the most blood on the floor of the Jazz's Triangle Center home court was not Limas, but Madman Crotty, who couldn't even wipe it clean.

Is the center position used for sacrifice?

Stockton could only attack with Adam Keefe still on the court.

However, Malone was trapped by a strong and powerful defensive team. Li Shengli's defensive range did not have to worry about the defensive range of the defensive team. Coupled with the physical energy consumed regardless of consumption, Adam Keefe wanted to hang himself on the spot...three bloody big shots in a row, from the front. , peg board, and his shots are getting more and more outside.

…

As for the Lakers' offense.

With Big Ben on the field, it goes without saying that the Jazz increased their defense against Li Shengli. Harris assigned Horry as the auxiliary attack point for Li Shengli. Horry withstood the anger of Adam Kife from Li Shengli, and the auxiliary attack effect was very poor. .

Kobe was in a low state today, and it would have been better to replace him with Eddie.

Before Harris could take action, there were frequent changes on the court, and Fisher, who had slipped through the net, had been racing since the fast break at the beginning of the quarter.

Originally, his offensive ability was not strong, but he was very courageous, had a big heart, and dared to take action.

In addition, he was responsible for the transfer after Li Shengli was double-teamed. When he got the ball, he rushed forward and ignored the defense. However, Li Shengli and Daben had an advantage in rebounding. This virtuous cycle became a virtuous circle, and even Li Shengli was in a predicament of attacking and defending at the same time. It was also broken by chance.

…

"Holy shit, is this still our Derek Fisher?"

"It seems... but it seems not. This guy has already scored 5 out of 7."

"We are not in good condition, so how come he is the only one who has no impact on consecutive away games?"

"Only the devil knows, but this is good. Let him hold on first."

At this moment, Li Shengli was quite surprised by Fisher.

Although the scoring dropped sharply in the second quarter, the blocks, rebounds, and assists increased.

The statistics until the end of the second quarter were 15 points, 8 rebounds, 4 assists and 4 blocks. In this quarter... the Jazz were slightly behind, but Stockton held on to hold on. After half a quarter, the Lakers were still 3 points behind.

As for Harris…

This will examine the true value of Fisher, but more importantly, assuming that the Lakers do not have this temporary breaking point, how miserable will it be after halftime? And the Jazz team is simply worse than the Rockets, who are known as Texas cockroaches. Can't they beat such a defense?

What worries him most is the situation at the center position.

The Jazz only used two of the human shields they had accumulated. Through tireless entanglement, confrontation and active fouls, Li Shengli could still play but it also consumed a lot of time. As a result, the second half was shortened and the Lakers' offense and defense were basically paralyzed.

Putting aside the poor form in consecutive away games, this change is very subtle.

Assuming that it is put into the playoffs... Harris is really not sure whether this subtle change will affect the Lakers' consecutive championships. What's even more damning is that the Bulls also accumulated a number of human shields before the trade deadline. To deal with core opponents, of course everyone knows who the Bulls are targeting.
