Bulldozer of the NBA’s Restricted Area

The Mavericks counterattack.

Nowitzki, as a rookie in his debut, was not in a hurry to express himself. After Nash advanced to the frontcourt...he rushed inside under the cover of his teammates, attracted the defense and handed the ball to AC Green who ran out of space.

Nash has played for two seasons. Although the start is not smooth, that is because Kidd is there in the Suns, but he is much more comfortable in the Mavericks. No one competes with him for the starting point guard position, and this pass is also It was very accurate, but the bad thing was that Green took the shot.

Bang!

The rebound landed on the heads of Li Shengli and Bradley, but the problem was that Bradley was far inferior in positioning ability. He was squeezed and Li Shengli took the rebound without even jumping up.

…

The game after that was basically one-sided.

The Lakers' offense is very simple. Most of the time, Li Shengli attacks first. On the one hand, Bradley's height is not good for shooting, and on the other hand, Bradley is unable to stand, which is good for flat pushing. Therefore, the crushing on the scene is very serious. Everyone was watching Bradley get beaten.

The Mavericks' offense is unmatched.

Nash's control of the court was good, but the problem was that he didn't have a good shooting point, so he gradually shifted his shooting to Nowitzki. The rookie brother played Barkley and used a height difference, but the effect was average.

As a result, the Mavericks collapsed in the first quarter.

The Lakers scored 34 points, but the Mavericks only scored 22 points and lost by 12 points in one quarter.

This situation was expected by the Lakers.

Even if the Mavericks' players are in great condition, the Lakers can still suppress them and take the lead.

Until the second quarter...

The 'Bradley Conjecture', the classic NBA theory of the late 20th century recognized by the media, has taken effect.

Li Shengli was really bored.

Although it is possible to keep brushing, the problem is... Nick makes a point and pushes it all by himself. The team has no data. There are no assists or rebounds, so he just scores by himself. It is really not a good game.

So things changed in the second quarter, with Barkley taking the tactical initiative.

…

Li Shengli stopped fighting?

Has our chance come?

Bradley felt that all the hardships were rewarded, but he guessed the beginning but not the ending... Nowitzki almost pointed at Bradley and cursed, what about the opportunity you promised?

Lakers offense.

Barkley took the ball and stuck his butt out. Nowitzki's face turned black. He didn't have a good way to deal with it. He was pushed all the way to the penalty area, and Barkley turned over and hit a rebound.

Barkley beats Nowitzki?

Despite the height difference, the young Nowitzki was obviously inexperienced and was beaten three times in a row before he temporarily found a sense of confrontation.

It just feels like it’s a little late!

Barkley is really experienced. He just felt the resistance and signaled to Li Shengli. But the style of the second quarter suddenly changed... Li Shengli and Barkley played on the left and right, and their playing styles were very similar. They both sat still. The ball is arched inward, and the shot is arched to the basket, and another person takes over.

The Mavericks' defense was ineffective.

The young Nowitzki felt the deepest malice from the league's big brother on his first day in the NBA. His stomach hurt from being hit. And in the second quarter... the Mavericks exploded even more fiercely, adding on to their 12 points. 15 points, trailing by an exaggerated 27 points at halftime.

But what Nowitzki didn't expect was... with such a big point difference, his teammates didn't feel any shame at all because they were used to it. ! Even as he entered midfield, Bradley said something meaningful to him.

"Dirk, don't worry, it's not a big problem."

"Isn't it a big problem? Is that so?"

"Haha, you, you are young. In fact, I have already counted them to death. Do you think the big guy was too lazy to play in the second quarter and let Barkley play?"

"You..." Nowitzki's face turned dark, thinking...Brother, do you still want to show off when you step on a horse?

"Listen to me, the current situation is under my control. The big guy probably didn't bother to play in the second half. He got bored while playing, so... the third quarter is our chance, brother! "

This is……

Is this the second stage of the ‘Bradley Conjecture’?

Nowitzki didn't say a word this time, because he was too lazy to say anything, and returned after halftime...

…

Fight again in the third quarter.

The Lakers' lineup has changed. After all, it's garbage time. Harris wants to try the latest combination effect, so he puts Li Shengli, Barkley, and Rodman on the court at the same time. Rodman plays power forward and Barkley plays small forward. , and almost all the shots were given to Kobe.

The Los Angeles Rangers show up?

A gathering of the league's three biggest rebounding monsters? !

The fans who watched the live broadcast of this game were stunned, but Kobe kept shooting hard from the outside, and the three people inside covered the backboard and sent the ball out frequently.

Li Shengli occupies the middle ring and is polite to opponents who have no ill intentions.

Barkley on the right has nothing to do with rookie Nowitzki who is still on the court.

As for Rodman on the left, he was running wild and twice as happy, basically catching and hitting whoever he wanted, but no one dared to say anything.

Until halfway through the third quarter...

Let’s not talk about scoring. The suppression of rebounds in this quarter made no sense at all. After an 8:1 rebound, the only one was the backcourt rebound picked up by Nowitzki, and Don Nelson called a timeout. Everyone in Niu walked back to the bench without any burden, but the only newbie on the field was shivering...

"Dirk, what's wrong?" Bradley pulled Nowitzki.

"It's okay, I...I should be okay!" Nowitzki rubbed his face fiercely, telling himself to be strong.

"Relax, it's no big deal, the situation is still under our control, trust me!"

"The point difference has exceeded 30 points, do you think we can still win?"

"Ah?" Bradley was stunned for a moment, "Brother, how can you have such an idea? We can't win at all, okay? As long as we work harder in the garbage time, we can make the point difference 20 points today. Even if we... have a tactical victory, well, that's right, we're in control, and the last quarter and a half is our chance, brother!"

Damn it?

Is this a mental breakdown from being beaten?

Nowitzki couldn't say a word, and Don Nelson was struggling for the final score. All the arrangements were made to lose decently, which made him feel that his outlook on life was ruined. Fortunately, Nashi was on the sidelines. Induction, comforting this trembling newbie.

"Dirk, don't think too much now, and don't blame Bradley. He can't do anything. The whole league can't do anything about Lee. We are not the only ones. You will see it in the future." Nash said quietly. One sentence,

"How could this happen? This is completely different from the NBA game I imagined!"

"Ahem... you didn't get off to a good start. The Mavericks are no longer the same as they used to be. If you might have met Lee two years ago, you wouldn't have the same thoughts as you do now." Nash continued: "But It’s not a big problem, just train hard and adapt to the environment here first. As long as you want to win, we will be the best teammates.”

"But others seem to..."

"You can't control that much. You have to accept this cruel reality first. Okay, if you and I are here later, you can play more and I will pass the ball to you."

"Okay, then I'll try the Lakers' inside line."

"Uh... don't be too impulsive. I can't talk to people like Li right now. You must not cause trouble. I can't stop it."

"Don't worry, I'm just going to try to see my true level!"

"Well, I wish you success!"
