Bulldozer of the NBA’s Restricted Area

The warm-up is over.

Hornets coach Alan gave a few simple instructions, and the starting players began to play one after another. There is no doubt...Li Shengli replaced the original starting center of the Hornets and made his debut in the NBA.

After all, the role of the preseason is to warm up, and the coach Alan will naturally not let Li Shengli miss this opportunity to practice in actual combat.

Hornets Lineup: Center Li Shengli, power forward Larry Johnson, small forward John Newman, point guard Magsey Boggs, shooting guard Kendall Gill.

Except for Li Shengli, who started the game for the first time, the others are the current main players of the Hornets, and the veteran Curry is sitting on the bench.

...

The Atlanta Hawks here.

For this irrelevant preseason game, the team coach did not show too much concern.

Hawks starting lineup, the most notable is small forward Dominique - Wilkins and center center Kevin - Wesley.

Dominique Wilkins is the absolute leader of the Eagles. He is a first-line small forward and a first-line dunker in the NBA. He has comprehensive skills. He has been selected to the All-Star team for 7 consecutive years and won the slam dunk contest twice. It can be said that he is full of honors .

As for the second child of the Eagles, center Kevin Wesley is also very difficult.

In the 1984 draft, the 11th pick in the first round, although it does not sound very good, but you must know...that was the 1984 draft.

84 diamond generation, this is definitely an era of gods descending.

Olajuwon's fantasy dance steps under the basket, Jordan's extreme flying performance, Barkley's powerful butt, and Stockton's textbook-style organizational offense... No matter who it is, they are all playing absolute dominance in their respective positions the Great God.

Although Kevin Willis seemed a bit eclipsed by the dazzling brilliance of the gods, he was still one of the top figures under the gods back then, with full strength and experience.

Last season, he was selected as an Eastern All-Star with an average of 18.3 points and 15.5 rebounds per game. This is the best proof of his strength.

Of course... Li Shengli didn't know this.

Although I have seen the opponent's information provided by the Hornets before the game, those information are the opponent's technical characteristics and past technical statistics.

...

Beep!

The referee blows the whistle and the game starts.

Jumping the ball, the tall and long-armed Li Shengli easily pushed the ball to the back, and Boggs launched the Hornets' first wave of offense with the ball.

Speaking of which, the outside line is the main offensive position of the Hornets, and they are used to this style of play in previous games.

Boggs swayed away from the opponent and quickly rushed inside to attract supplementary defenses. As a point guard, he naturally chose to pass the ball to Jill who was waiting outside eagerly.

Open, let's go.

Swish!

Gill shot the Hornets' first goal of the game, and the home fans gave them applause without hesitation.

...

"It's really comfortable!" Li Shengli thought to himself.

In the previous NCAA games in East Carolina, he was the absolute core and took on the heavy burden of the team's offense, but this also meant that the opponents strengthened their defense against him, which exhausted him...

But now is different.

The Hornets' outside line is not Eastka's blacksmith. Boggs and Jill cooperated tacitly, and he didn't even need to do anything in the first round.

...

It's the Eagles' turn to attack.

Although Boggs is a qualified point guard and a good assister, but his height is there, you don't need to think about it to know that he is a defensive colander...

On offense, his short stature and extremely fast speed are his advantages, but it is useless on defense, and his strength is not enough. The Eagles can just pick up a big man, and he can be blocked by a pick-and-roll...

Not only was he physically blocked, but the poor little Boggs was also blocked from his sight, like playing hide and seek around a big tree, he couldn't even see where his opponent was.

Apparently that's what the Hawks did, and the opponent Boggs missed took the shot.

Boom!

Although the opportunity was good, the goal was not scored, and Li Shengli became excited because it was finally his turn to perform.

"Give way, I'm going to grab a rebound!"

Predicting where the rebound will land, Li Shengli squeezed away Willis who was facing up, and Willis was obviously a little confused.

Are you going to grab a rebound?

What the hell is this, rebound forecast?

Bewildered, Willis' reaction was not slow. Although Li Shengli squeezed him a small step away, he quickly followed.

Meanwhile, the Hawks' power forward shrugged off Larry Johnson and was on the rebound...

The positions of the three are not bad.

Although they took off at the same time, Li Shengli was obviously superior. His height crushed his opponent, and the bounce was the same. Pu Fan grabbed the rebound with a strong hand, and passed it to Boggs immediately after landing.

"Come on, Boggs!"

Boggs didn't hesitate at all after receiving the ball, turned into a bolt of lightning and rushed to the frontcourt. Before the Eagles had time to return to the defense, he easily scored a layup.

...

The start is 4:0.

The Hornets played with momentum, and the experienced Eagles did not mess up.

After all, they are all NBA teams. Whether it is technology or mentality, they are far from being comparable to amateur games. On the other hand... the game has just begun.

"Shit, this kid is too arrogant!" the eagle's power forward said with a cold face.

"Don't worry, wait for a while, let me teach this arrogant kid a lesson!" Willis' expression was also very bad.

To be honest, it's just a rebound. In a game, it's normal to grab it or not.

But according to Willis...

If you grab rebounds, you can just grab rebounds, but you insist on making rebound forecasts, isn't this a naked provocation?

"Boy, you're dead!" Staring at Li Shengli, Wesley said cruelly in his heart.

...

As the old saying goes, the key to rebounding is positioning and jumping, and the key to positioning and bouncing is lower body strength.

Willis averaged 15.5 rebounds per game last season. His lower body strength is absolutely first-class. Few people can compete with him in lower body strength.

However……

Unfortunately, what he met was Li Shengli, who was also good at lower body strength and was stronger than him.

What's even more unfortunate is that Li Shengli has to predict in advance every time he fights for a rebound... Let me give it a go, I'm going to grab a rebound.

Willis was very angry. He felt that he had been insulted, and he planned to smash Li Shengli in the next game.

And Li Shengli is very happy here. The Hornets have a good touch on the outside and bloom frequently. They don't have many offensive rebounds, and they don't need him to shoot inside. He is only responsible for grabbing a few backcourt rebounds.

Until the end of the first quarter, the score of the two sides was 20:12.

The Hornets led by 8 points. In this quarter, Li Shengli only took one shot and scored 2 points, but he caught 6 rebounds. It can be said...his rebound forecast is much more reliable than the always inaccurate weather forecast.
