Bulldozer of the NBA’s Restricted Area

It was also Harris' pep meeting before the game.

I’m too lazy to mention the tactical arrangements for the decisive battle. The player’s psychological quality may be tested under the spotlight. Even if the Lakers’ lineup is getting younger, with a championship experience, Harris doesn’t need to worry about some things. explain.

Waiting until the staff came to notify them to play, amidst the crazy shouts and roars of the Lakers' home court, the two sides came on the stage. Li Shengli and Jordan walked to the midfield line to say hello.

"Li, sometimes I really hate you so much." Jordan rarely spoke first.

"Hate me? That's not necessary, right? Maybe you flew too high. It's normal for you to not adapt after the emergency landing." Li Shengli smiled.

"No, you are flying too high now. I hope you can adapt to the emergency landing." Jordan patted Li Shengli on the shoulder, "Also, kid, what I want to teach you now is... without a championship. , it is not difficult to be an ordinary and ordinary super giant. Many people have been taught by me, and I believe you can do it too."

"Depend on!"

Li Shengli slandered, feeling that Jordan had said a lot of naughty words, and turned back to his own camp. Ben, Kobe, and Brother Croteau came up.

Kobe asked: "Lee, what did he say to you?"

Li Shengli waved his hand: "It's nothing, just some nonsense. You should beat yourself up."

Fight your own?

Isn’t this also nonsense!

Kobe glanced at Li Shengli and took a deep breath.

"Huh... Although I have played in the finals once, it seems that this time it feels different from the last time."

"It's different? What's the difference? No matter how fierce you fight, it doesn't matter. Now remember, as long as I'm here, you don't have to be afraid of anyone. I'm not targeting a specific person, because I'm talking about... the entire alliance! "Li Shengli patted Kobe on the shoulder.

"Okay, Ben, Crotty, everyone is here, get ready to start."

"Okay, let me try Rodman's ribs again today!"

"Jordan, mine!"

"Peripheral, I'll fight!"

"Okay, let's get started."

…

At this moment, the game will start immediately.

Li Shengli walked to the center circle and waited for the jump ball. Standing next to him were Ben, Kobe, Crotty, and Horry. They were considered to be the finals lineup last season. They had the most experience playing against the Bulls.

On the other side...Luke Longley's eyes were burning when he looked at Li Shengli.

You know, the center position is the one with the most pressure among the Bulls' five positions right now. The win may be because Jordan is strong enough, but the blame for the loss will most likely be taken by the center team, or even if they don't.

Fortunately, the Bulls have a clear goal after being eliminated from last season's finals. They have been arranging and training against the Lakers for almost the entire season, and Luke Longley's main training direction is confrontation.

Want to compete with Li Shengli?

Luke Longley has never thought about it, and few people in the league dare to think about it!

But if consumption is the main thing and fouls are the supplement, it is much easier. He can only gather enough energy to fight forward, with Wennington, Klein and even Rodman behind him.

I don’t believe it. Four people can’t kill one of you?

Luke Longley didn't say a word. He only tiptoed symbolically to jump the ball and immediately rushed back to the backcourt to defend. Li Shengli moved the ball to the back and saw that Luke Longley was also drunk.

I was still gnashing my teeth on my front foot and it felt pretty cruel!

How come your back legs...are running away without even jumping?

…

The Lakers' first offense started.

Bulls head coach Phil Jackson was watching from the sidelines... As expected, the attack point was either inside or outside. Although Kobe was guarded by Harper, who was good at defense, he still hit the ball around the screen.

Didn't get in? !

Kobe felt this was a bad sign.

Li Shengli didn't even think about it. He tensed up his whole body to suppress Luke Longley and predict where the rebound would fall. On the other side... Rodman was stuck in the big box and wanted to hit someone in a hurry. The rebound was passed by Li Shengli without any suspense. Get it.

Here comes the point!

Even in the first round, Phil Jackson still clenched his fists unconsciously, because no one would dare to win against the Lakers without suppressing Li Shengli. At this time, Li Shengli's position was on the edge of the left penalty area...the power exploded, The muscles all over his body exploded, and he pushed Luke Longley into the basket with his back.

"Ah~~bastard!"

"Let me do it!"

Luke Longley was so desperate that he roared and took off to face Gang and Rodman. Li Shengli turned back and held the ball with both hands before jumping and smashing it into the basket. Even though Rodman and Longley were hanging on, the ball was still dunked. .

Beep!

Although the referee called Rodman's defensive foul in advance, the violent basket explosion in this round still shocked the fans at the scene. The entire Lakers home court was in a state of excitement at the beginning, and Phil Jackson on the sidelines was shocked.

Isn’t this preventable? !

If the referee blows the call a little later, it will be 2+1!

Damn it, how could such a monster exist? It’s totally unreasonable!

…

A basket bombed in the opening game, and the Lakers were very popular, but Jordan really vomited. Kobe felt very happy when he saw Jordan vomiting and seemed like he couldn't eat. Even Kobe was a little confused.

"Kobe, is Lee a little different?"

"I don't know, but that's good. Do you see how scared they are?"

"Here you go, stop talking nonsense!" Ben said to Kobe while they were back on defense, while Crotty stared at the Bulls side and stopped his teammates from talking nonsense with a cold expression.

…

It's also a peripheral shot.

Jordan didn't ask for a cover, he singled out Crotty, and Crotty defended closely in order to prevent him from taking the first shot. As for what was behind him... Li Shengli and Big Ben would handle everything. This is the new responsibility for his comrades. .

"He's in!" Crotty couldn't prevent the breakthrough.

"Let me make up for it!" Ben immediately made up for Jordan.

There was no problem with the Lakers' defense. After Crotty was passed, he went to pinch the passing connection between Jordan and Rodman, but Jordan simply didn't pass to Rodman, and directly stopped for a jumper and hit it with a bang.

"Li, keep coming, I like things with challenges!" Li Shengli raised his arms and tortured Luke Longley in Jordan's penalty area.

"Don't worry, brother, the game has just begun!" After Li Shengli said this, he followed the team to attack.

…

After playing several rounds in a row.

The efficiency of both sides was outrageous. In half a quarter...

The Lakers suppressed the Bulls inside, leaving Luke Longley breathless. Li Shengli took 7 shots in total, was fouled twice and went to the free throw line for 3 of 4, 3 of 3 at the basket, and 1 of 2 turn-over jumpers.

11 points and 4 rebounds in half quarter.

At the same time, the Bulls also suppressed the Lakers' perimeter. Crotty and Kobe almost doubted their lives, because Jordan made all 5 of his 5 shots, and there was also a 2+1 that created Crotty.

11 points in half quarter and 3 assists.

…

They are all single-point explosions, and the score depends on other positions.

But the terrible thing this time is... the triangle offense played very well. Jordan could have taken far more than 5 shots. After all, he felt good and could play any way he wanted. But he still passed the ball when the shot was not good, and the 3 assists were really good. Quite a bit, which allowed Pippen and others to play very comfortably in this half of the quarter. They only needed to move and receive passes.

On the other hand, the Lakers.

Kobe is a trustworthy offensive point, but the problem is that he faces Harper, who is good at defense, and Jordan, who has repeatedly made defenses.

You can take a shot but you can't guarantee a hit.

After taking the shot, the burden was handed over to Li Shengli inside, and Luke Longley really didn't care about anything and was pestering Li Shengli all the time in order to create a physical threat.

So in the contest between Li Shengli and Jordan, the Bulls, who had clearer tactics, had the upper hand, temporarily leading by 4 points in the half quarter, while Phil Jackson on the sidelines was finally satisfied.

Although Li Shengli is indeed strong, Luke Longley is not useless.

The effect of physical exhaustion battle cannot be seen for the time being. It will only work over time. Even if the effect is not so obvious, Phil Jackson believes... At least Li Shengli will not score 10+ points in half a quarter like he does now. 4.

On the other hand, Jordan's consumption is not so great.

Although at the same time, the current efficiency seems to be about the same, the efficiency difference will become larger the further back, not to mention that the Bulls now have the upper hand in other positions.

…

Half a quarter was enough to see something and analyze the possibilities of the existing conditions. At this point, West and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, the old guys sitting on the sidelines, frowned.

"If you fight like this, you will lose!" Elgin Baylor felt pretty bad.

"It's all your fault. I told you not to come, but you still came. Did you do it on purpose?" Jabbar jumped angrily.

"Okay, why are you two arguing about this!" West listened happily and said: "Now that all the unfavorable factors have been gathered, aside from the extraordinary performance of Lee and Jordan, the Bulls are still suppressing us in other positions, and Our prediction before the game was... leading in the first half and basically no problem in the second half; falling behind in the first half and having problems in the second half, because Lee might not be able to maintain a normal level despite the rotation of Bulls centers."

"Does that mean we're going to lose?" Mr. Baylor wanted to leave now.

Unexpectedly, after more than 20 years, he still has the evil ability to control the Lakers in the Finals, but...this control is one-sided, not to mention the multiple choice questions, and there is only one option to lose.

"What's the hurry? Never underestimate a championship heart!" West stared at the court.

"Are you talking about... bull?" Lord Beile scratched his head.

"Damn, I'm talking about us Lakers!"

"Baylor, you...you're a fool, West, call security, security, get him out quickly, I can't stand it anymore!"
