Bulldozer of the NBA’s Restricted Area

The Suns are basically impossible to play. After all, a successful game requires tactics and hardware.

The head coach of the Suns arranged to speed up the game on the spot, but it was too hard for a bunch of patients, and the hardware suffered a big loss. However, Li Shengli went up to notify the end of the game, and the game was basically over... The Suns fell behind by 11 points and lost the first game.

Looking at the entire audience, the most unforgettable thing for Li Shengli was the unhygienic Nashi.

Li Shengli has seen too many people play dirty, but this is the first time he has seen such a dirty player.

As far away as Rick Barry holding a urinal and peeing in the penalty area, as recently as 1995's Stackhouse squatting on the toilet and occupying the penalty area, Nash's unique bottom plate is still a bit too amazing, but it is still accurate. of.

…

After the first game, in the following games...

With the experience of the first game, the Suns seem to have found a life-saving straw. The offensive and defensive rotations are getting faster and faster, which makes Li Shengli vomit. Although his speed attribute is good, it is still compared with the inside, let alone the original offense to defense. , the center position is a little behind.

It's just that the Suns' hardware is still not good. After all, there are a lot of injured players, and it is not the highest combat strength during the regular season.

As a result, before the Lakers could collapse, the Suns themselves collapsed first. The only gain was that Li Shengli was in trouble and almost used all his energy on running in the front and backcourt.

But even so, the Lakers' offense was unparalleled. Even with the Suns' high scoring rate, even the base score surged. In the second game, the score was 108:118, and the Lakers scored 2:0.

…

The same method didn't work, and the Suns couldn't do anything in the third game back at home. They still lost, but losing at home was a little more honorable. The point difference behind them changed from double digits to single digits for the first time. , lost by 9 points, while the first three games were lost by 11 points, 10 points, and 9 points respectively.

As for the fourth game...

With no ability to parry at all, the city of Phoenix was directly tied by the Lakers. Even if the situation continues to improve, it is useless to lose by only 8 points, because even if it is ranked down according to the ideal arithmetic sequence... this The Suns need to play 23 games to guarantee the first round of the series before they can advance.

…

Before the Lakers return to Los Angeles...

Li Shengli looked for Kidd again. Kidd had no regrets about the Suns being eliminated. After all, the chances of the Suns beating the Lakers were very small. Even if all the injured players returned, there wouldn't be much chance. They were also full of injured players before. The Rockets are an example.

The Lakers have won seven games in a row.

In the second round of the Western Conference, the Lakers played the Suns and the Jazz played the Spurs, but the other group was not so calm.

The big scores between the Jazz and the Spurs increased alternately. Although the Jazz performed very strongly this season, Duncan was also the Spurs' new ace insider this season, and they fought all the way to the seventh game... Even though the two sides were fighting hard, it was still the Jazz. The always stable lineup successfully advanced to the Western Conference Finals with the Lakers.

As for the east side.

The Celtics also showed an explosive increase in strength and joined the Bulls in the Eastern Conference Finals.

Teams with poor lineups and many injuries cannot survive until now. The four teams that have survived until now are basically at their peak strength, with complete lineups and healthy players, and the finals for the championship are getting smaller and smaller.

…

The Western Conference Finals are coming quickly.

Originally, the Lakers' injury to Campbell was considered a disadvantage, but the problem was that against the Jazz, Harris had no choice but to spend a lot of money to carry Malone, so the impact of this disadvantage was basically minimized.

The first two are the Lakers' home games, and the Lakers win.

The center rotation arrangement arranged by Jerry Sloan was effective, but the effect was too slow, and it also affected the accuracy of Li Shengli's free throws. The free throws in these two games were obviously good. The Lakers established their lead in the first half, and in the second half to the end Li Shengli felt that his physical fitness affected his condition, but it no longer mattered. The advantage in the two games was not big, but he still won.

But returning to the Jazz's two home stadiums, the situation has changed.

Different from the first two rounds, the Jazz had a well-organized staff. The winner or loser was determined by performance, and with the support of the home court... Although Li Shengli was carrying the Jazz center group, Malone also broke out directly with the big budget, plus Stowe Cotton harassed Kobe, and the Lakers lost two away games in a row, with a big score of 2:2, and entered the match point battle.

The problem is home court support, and the Lakers have it too.

Games 5 and 7 both belonged to the Lakers, but the Western Conference Finals did not drag on to Game 7. The Lakers won Game 5 and the Jazz's pressure increased sharply. After a slight collapse in Game 6... the Lakers won 4:2. Got the ticket to the finals with a big score.

…

On the other side, the Bulls play the Celtics.

The explosive power of the combination of O'Neal and Garnett was astonishing, and it showed during the regular season, but the Bulls were also fully prepared. They used their idle human shields to attack O'Neal, and Garnett was chased by Rodman. , the offense is not very smooth.

On the other hand, the Bulls... also played 6 games with the Celtics, but the Celtics didn't have anyone on the outside who could limit Jordan. Jordan averaged 32 points per game, and this level of average per game was really better than O'Neal and O'Neal. Garnett lost his temper and was beaten 4:2 in the end, allowing the Bulls to advance.

Until the finals teams are announced.

This time the whole league became lively. After all, these two teams played in the finals last season, and this time after a regular season preparation, everyone is guessing who will win this year's championship.

…

The Jazz, who just finished their playoff journey...

"Li, can they do it?"

"You tell me, he can push us to advance to the finals, why can't he?"

Jerry Sloan looked at the two evils and thought of the Finals... No matter how things change, the Bulls will always be there.

"Okay, you two, why are you talking about this when you're already out? Just pray for Lee. May your brother win the championship for the second time in a row."

"Damn, it's the second time without me and John, we're just praying."

"Come on, if you weren't longing for Li to reach the top, I would give you one million!"

"Uh... did you see it?"

"Nonsense, it's written on your face when you step on a horse!"

…

For the Celtics, who had just finished the playoffs, there were no prayers here, only curses muttered by O'Neal and Garnett.

"Fuck, this bastard..." O'Neal was very angry when he saw the Lakers and Bulls meeting, even more angry than he was when Jordan was knocked out of the Eastern Conference Finals.

"That's right, this bastard... uh, forget it, I won't scold him anymore, I'm afraid you'll tell him!"

"Get out! Kevin, how can you still be stared at by Rodman? If you move, we can win."

"Damn it, don't rely on me!" Garnett cursed: "Damn it, Lee and I can still play in the finals as a team, you and I didn't even see the door..."

"Then you are relying on me? Damn, didn't you lose to the Bulls in the Mavericks?"

"That's true..." Garnett scratched his head. He didn't expect that he would be beaten to tears by this big brother on Jordan's tail. Then he thought about it, "Let's see, I hope the Bulls can win. Jordan is old. Let him win the championship and maybe he will retire. Then the future of the Eastern Conference..."

"It's ours?" O'Neill smiled.

"That's right, when we take over the Eastern Conference, our goal remains the same...defeat Li Shengli and return the championship to me!"
