Bulldozer of the NBA’s Restricted Area

After the game, Malone and Stockton chatted with Li Shengli for a while.

Although they are now in a competitive relationship, the two brothers really care about Li Shengli. Even Sloan asked the two brothers to take the lead and told Li Shengli to keep it in check. Li Shengli was naturally very moved, but Ma Long was a little annoyed and wanted to Drag out this disgusting boss and give him a good meal.

After seeing off Shuangsha, Li Shengli and his teammates returned to the hotel.

It was impossible to go back to Los Angeles overnight because everyone needed to rest, and the next game was one day away, so I stayed in Salt Lake City overnight and didn't rush to the airport until the next morning.

…

Training cannot stop.

Considering the actual situation, it is still possible to reduce some arrangements.

As for Li Shengli, he was also exhausted physically and mentally. He took half a day off to sleep on the second day. After training on the third day, he went to Harris for coffee, which made Ben feel... The boss is the boss. He even cheats in such a unique way. There are good reasons. , impressive.

…

"Li, the management had a meeting this morning."

"What, is there any notification again?"

Li Shengli was sitting in the rest area of ​​Harris' office, rarely having a moment of leisure, and Harris cleared his throat...

"It's not a big deal. Our current record leads the Western Conference. You can play in the next games. I will give you less time. You can't play like the day before yesterday. West is very dissatisfied. The management's The opinions are also great.”

It was really tiring to play the Jazz the day before yesterday.

Li Shengli played about 41 minutes, not only because of the impact of consecutive away games, but also because of the Jazz's center rotation, which made the consumption of these 41 minutes much greater than usual. Harris said that West was very dissatisfied with this situation, not because of the loss. game, but because Harris was overused.

…

How important is the regular season?

It's important because rankings will determine tickets to the playoffs.

It doesn't matter because the Lakers have already identified a position.

I have to say that the advantage of having one more home court at the top of the rankings is, but the key is that the Lakers ranked eighth last season and still reached the top with one less home court in each round.

If they continue to fight, the Lakers can't get any stronger because they are already No. 1 in the Western Conference.

The right direction is to stop playing, ensure the health of the main players, and prepare for the playoffs. This season's Rockets have set a negative and typical case for the entire league.

The Big Three, who were originally optimistic by fans, want to make some noise this season.

Not to mention being first in the Western Conference, ranking outside the top three in the Western Conference is not worthy of the Big Three's signature, and the Rockets desperately... Olajuwon was injured, Drexler was injured, and Barkley was glorious for a few weeks. With a bang, the Rockets' record dropped to eighth in the Western Conference like a roller coaster.

Therefore, injuries to the main players will always be a problem for the team.

Although the Lakers' lineup is still relatively young, it does not mean that there is no need to be wary of injuries.

If the first core Li Shengli is injured, then the Lakers will definitely be doomed. After all, the effect of Kobe's leadership is not enough to compete for the championship, and this is why West is very dissatisfied with Harris.

It's just that Harris also has his own ideas as a head coach.

Since the goal is set at the championship, we must prepare around the goal during the process.

First in the Western Conference, their record surpasses all threatening teams in the Eastern Conference, and they have a stable home court advantage. In fact... although the Lakers currently lead the Western Conference, they are still three games ahead of the Bulls in the Eastern Conference and ahead of the Celtics. A person has 5 wins, but if he relaxes a little, the opponent may gain momentum.

Championships are the result of hard work and preparation.

Harris doesn't want to give up every championship bonus point at all.

…

"This season's regular season is almost over. I will make adjustments later." Harris felt helpless when he thought of the leaders' dissatisfaction. He glanced at Li Shengli and felt helpless.

"Hey, they think I control your playing time too casually and don't give you enough rest time, but now... I really want to get a camera and film you being lazy here. They looked at it, and they also let West look at it, and his baby was drinking coffee with me, and he didn't even participate in training."

"Damn, can you, a person with gray hair, be serious?" Li Shengli glanced at Harris with disgust.

"Am I not serious? I am not paving the way for the championship." Harris shook his hands angrily, then calmed down and said: "But it's almost done now. If nothing else happens... stop working hard, we will still have the best record. It’s time for our family to practice training, and the rotation lineup needs to be sorted out.”

"Preparations have begun."

…

I lingered in Harris' office for a while before coming out.

Because there was a game in the evening, Li Shengli participated in the afternoon training until the warm-up before the game. Today's opponent happened to be the Washington Bullets, who had let go of their big team and felt that they were losing blood.

Just as a name change maniac, the history of the Washington Bullets team... following the Chicago Packers, Chicago Zephyrs, Baltimore Bullets, and Capital Bullets, they won the new name Washington Wizards.

Of course, changing the name does not change the record.

The Wizards will still be among the top eight teams in the Eastern Conference, even worse than last season, and Harris has fulfilled the management's requirements for him in the game.

The starting lineup is still the same.

Originally, Campbell should have been the first to test the offensive environment, but Harris went directly to the base. I don’t know if he was deliberately disgusting the opponent, and Chris Webber and Juwan Howard...

Watching the former bag-carrying boy suddenly become the right-hand man of the big boss Li Shengli, being able to fight against thieves, and winning a championship, it was such a complicated mood.

…

As soon as the game started, the Wizards struggled.

As the Wizards' main attackers, Webber and Juwan Howard avoided Li Shengli. However, the problem was that Juwan Howard was entangled in the game. Webber's unilateral fire could not beat the Lakers' two lines.

In just two quarters, the Wizards crossed the line and lost by a full 20 points.

Harris liked this rhythm very much, and immediately arranged the garbage time personnel, and this time it was so thorough... No one even looked at the water fountain, and a group of people went up and fucked the Wizards.

Can't beat your main force?

We still can't beat you substitutes?

The Wizards' main lineup was beaten in the face, and they recovered 10 points in the third quarter. If they couldn't even beat the Lakers' pure bench lineup, it would be really unreasonable, and Harris...

Continuing to make substitutions, once the starting lineup was introduced, the score expanded by 6 points in the first half of the quarter.

They continued to make substitutions, and the entire substitute lineup came in to take a beating. In the last half of the quarter, they managed to save 6 points and win the game.

Li Shengli only played 30 minutes in this game, and Kobe only played two quarters, but the time to rotate the lineup has been increased to an epic level, and no matter how he plays, looking at Li Shengli and Kobe on the bench, and even the big players on the court, Ke Rody, instantly felt confident.

There is nothing else about the others, but they can be used as a base for the leaders of the rotation...

The 6 points and 18 rebounds after the game were indeed wild enough, even more eye-catching than the Wizards' first and second players. But looking at... the teammates who used to watch the water dispenser together were rescued from the quagmire by Li Shengli; The feeling of being on top of his own strength and being stronger than them made Ben orgasm.

As for Li Shengli...

It feels like this should be the norm in the late regular season. The good thing is that the rotation lineup is really training and preparing for the decisive battle. Moreover, the playoffs are really not far away this time, so it is time to prepare well.
