Bulldozer of the NBA’s Restricted Area

Chapter 684 Barkley’s surprise

The conflict only happened in a moment, and the scale was really not that big, but the explosive boos from the fans in the audience continued to bombard the entire Lakers team, but no one cared about this kind of thing. After all, the Knicks were blown up, and they couldn't return it. Let the fans boo, and there's nothing you can do about it.

At this time, the Knicks...

Sprewell has been sent away by the Lakers. The entire Knicks team breathed a sigh of relief, because this means that the Lakers will use their magical powers next. Even head coach Van Gundy is grateful for this result. Immediately afterwards, the personnel on the field were adjusted.

Enter Ewing.

From the beginning of the second half until Sprewell was sent away, Ewing rested for half a quarter.

The current physical fitness is not enough to sustain the consumption of a 40-minute game, and the average time per game last season was only 33. In addition, it is now 24, and the confrontation with Li Shengli consumes even more. Ewing will definitely not be able to play for one quarter. It depends on Van Gundy. Allocate this time.

However, Ewing was in, but Larry Johnson was not.

On the one hand, it's because Larry Johnson's back injury affects his average time per game, which is only more than one minute more than Ewing. On the other hand, Van Gundy wants to stagger the time between him and Ewing to ensure that the Knicks' internal offense and defense can't stop. The power forward is Kurt Thomas, who is newly transferred to the Knicks.

As for other locations…

Among the starting three guards, one Sprewell was removed, Alan Houston and Charlie Ward continued to appear, and the small forward was handed over to Denis Scott, who also recently transferred to the Knicks.

The Knicks have to consider time allocation, but the Lakers have it much easier.

The Lakers Rangers completed the task of cleaning up the battlefield excellently. Rodman was ejected, Crotty also committed a lot of fouls, and Ben was also off. They were replaced by Fisher, Kobe, Fox, Li Shengli and Barkley. Keep playing on the field.

During half of the second half, the Lakers' scoring was absolutely suppressed.

Li Shengli grabbed 4 rebounds and blocked 4 shots in the first half of the quarter. This kind of data has greatly benefited the team. When the Knicks and their main players returned to the court, the Lakers were already 6 points ahead.

Of course, a lead is always a lead until the game is over.

The outcome of the game depends on the Knicks' next fighting strength, and Van Gundy had a premonition... After Li Shengli participates in the rotation, it will be the Knicks' counterattack time. Before that, all they have to do is to stabilize the situation and chase points. , If you don’t chase points, you can’t let the point difference continue to expand.

After a brief conflict, the two sides started fighting amidst the cheers of the Madison Garden Arena. The difference from before was... no one expected that the two powerful league teams could fight in such a civilized manner? !

The Knicks were much more honest, and the Lakers naturally remained silent.

The Lakers didn't move, and the Knicks didn't dare to move, because who doesn't want to be the second Sprewell who was severely beaten for provoking the Lakers, and more importantly...

They are not the second Sprewell, but Sprewell may be the second Leder.

History is always surprisingly similar!

The entire Knicks team has every reason to believe that in the not-too-distant future, maybe even in the last few games... Sprewell will be chased by an army of hooligans summoned by Li Shengli from all over the league until this point. The season is over.

The meaning of a group of villains is that...when one party is in trouble, all parties support it.

Malone, Stockton, O'Neal, and even Mourning and Garnett were willing to support Li Shengli not only because of their good relationship, but also because what can punish evil is not light, but more evil. .

In fact, Li Shengli was also supporting others.

Mourning was bullied a lot in New York, so the Knicks were the target of everyone's punishment; Stockton was also ruined by Oakley for a season, and the Knicks were still the first to bear the brunt; and these are not the only ones connected with Li Shengli.

If O'Neal is hanged, there is a high probability that he will call Malone for help and repair people.

If Malone can't solve the problem in one game, just look at each company's schedule and call the brothers behind to take over!

Mourning wants to be strong, I'm embarrassed to say it, but everyone is watching the Heat. If there is any trouble, a bunch of people will shout and kill, but when I look back, Mourning doesn't shout, and no one needs to shout. He is the vanguard of the organization every time. real man.

As for today’s event…

The aging Knicks are really unstoppable. Everyone’s idea is to take the overall situation into consideration and sacrifice Sprewell locally to defeat the army of hooligans who are about to rush to the battlefield. But now... maintain a good competitive spirit. That's what they have to do, which is exactly what the Lakers expected.

Looking back, the game continued with the referee's whistle.

The Lakers attacked first, and according to Harris's tactical arrangement, Fisher broke into the inside and sent the ball to Li Shengli in the low post. Li Shengli directly started the post-up mode, and Ewing was blocking behind.

Ewing is not like the others.

All the super centers in the league are rivals with each other. Ewing knows the characteristics of each one, including Li Shengli. To guard against Li Shengli’s signature post-up play, he can only find a rhythm of confrontation. If he ensures that his position is not lost, it is considered a success, but... this is too difficult. .

After just two waves, Ewing had not yet found a rhythm point, but Li Shengli had already attacked him. After a back-up move, he rushed to the basket, and Ewing could only call his partner Kurt Thomas for help.

However, Li Shengli deliberately paused when he reached the basket. When Ewing and Thomas were in the front position, he directly passed the backhand to Barkley. And Barkley... knew that Li Shengli was going to pass the ball a long time ago. He accelerated and jumped to the basket and received the ball in the air. The ball hit Thomas right on the head.

Back to the Knicks offense.

Sprewell was the main attacker in the first half. Now that he is gone, of course it is Ewing who will play. And he does not look for Li Shengli to fight. He uses the breakthroughs created by his teammates and involves Li Shengli's defensive area. He catches the ball himself. The basket shot hit.

Not seeking violence, but seeking stability? !

Li Shengli and Barkley glanced at each other, and they both knew that Ewing had really lost the spirit of his peak period, but what must be said is that simple offense was still efficient.

It lasted until the end of the third quarter.

Ewing was in good form, scoring like crazy while facing the basket, and he was determined to avoid singles that were purely confrontational with Li Shengli, allowing the Knicks to ensure efficiency in a single round. But the problem is... the offense can avoid it, but the defense cannot.

The Lakers took fewer shots from the outside and more shots from the inside.

When Li Shengli got the ball, he forced Ewing's position. What made Ewing want to curse even more was... Li Shengli hit all the way to the basket, and deliberately paused every time to create opportunities for Barkley, and tonight, the flying pig in the air Barkley managed to take off completely in the third quarter.

In the first half, Sprewell was included.

Barkley scored 15 points and 10 rebounds in 30 minutes, which would have been the end of the game in the past.

Now in the last 6 minutes of the third quarter, according to the ratio of the previous 30 points, it should be 3+2 at a higher level, but the fact is... he hit 10+6, more than three times, the total score board data It's 25+16.

What is this horse riding?

Can you control your teammates' data as you wish?

Barkley was speechless. Although he was playing in the first half, he was not the main attacker... But now he is partnered with Li Shengli. This is a completely different style than when he was partnered with Olajuwon, and he hardly has to do anything. Just get the ball, take off, dunk and that's it.

Everything started with Li Shengli's violent play, which was attributed to his most primitive flying dunk performance.

He was even thinking... If he had met Li Shengli earlier, if he had played like this for the first fifteen years, he could have played for another fifteen years, because it was too easy. He could shoot whenever he wanted and dunk whenever he wanted. A decent defense can stop him.

However, although Barkley played comfortably, the point difference did not widen much, because Ewing also felt explosive in this half of the quarter. As an offensive terminator, there is no need to consider assists, and Ewing maintained the tie within 6 minutes. Barkley scored the same, but only had the disadvantage of a 2-pointer from the outside.

The Lakers led by 8 points entering the final quarter.

Ewing rested again, but Li Shengli was still playing, but this quarter was different from before.

Li Shengli and Barkley finally started the Lakers double-hip mode and each played one-on-one. The Knicks were completely disgusted. After all, there was no 5-second back-to-the-basket rule at this time.

The two men defended from different angles, sticking their butts out, and pushed all the way to the basket. It was completely unreasonable. However, this style of play did not require too many passes and the fault tolerance rate was extremely high.

This style of play... isn't this horse riding just using your butt to act like a scoundrel?

Van Gundy was vomiting outside the court, and the fans roared again because Rodman beat Sprewell so hard and the Knicks were now beaten without the ability to resist.

But it’s useless no matter how you roar!

Li Shengli and Barkley have already started playing, but Li Shengli's push still creates shots for Barkley, while Barkley's push has Li Shengli controlling the rebound, hitting when there is a rebound, and withdrawing when there is no rebound to continue playing.

In just three minutes, Barkley scored another 6 points, and the point difference reached double digits to 12 points.

So Van Gundy could only send Ewing and Larry Johnson up together, but it was too late... The double-hip model of Liba's combination was very popular, and Ewing and Johnson were also uncomfortable.

It was not until the last six minutes of the quarter that the score difference reached a new high, directly reaching 16 points. At this time, Barkley's physical strength hit bottom and he could no longer play. Harris directly called a timeout to rearrange the final half of the quarter, and even Li Shengli dropped the ball. .

Ben will play center, Horry will play power forward, and the rest will continue to play unchanged.

It was expected that the Lakers' most powerful inside line combination would end, and the Knicks should be able to usher in a wave of counterattack opportunities, but no one expected... Kobe's outside line took over the offensive task, leading the Lakers' second-tier lineup to directly compete with The Knicks just hit a 50-50 mark.

Until the end of the game, the point difference was still 15 points.

Barkley's 35+20 data is so amazing, and another statistic of Li Shengli, who scored 15 points, 15 rebounds, 10 assists and 9 blocks, is even more shocking. Even Li Shengli didn't realize that he was on the court. Then he got another quasi-quadouble.

Although the scoreboard data is lower than before, the assists and blocks have increased significantly, especially at the beginning of the third quarter of the second half. For a Sprewell, he was trying his best to find blocks, and let Barkley, a flying pig in the air, dunk. , it’s too easy to assist, achieving a win-win situation.

After the game, both sides left the game, and in the Lakers' locker room... everyone was quite happy, except for Rodman, who sat alone in the locker room in the last quarter and a half, who was more upset. As for Harris, it was even worse.

The second half started with a strange lineup.

The lineup is weird and not terrible, but the question is who can say that this lineup is not just to beat people?

Therefore, he will need to explain this to the media after the game. It is also necessary to ventilate with the players in advance. After all, everyone has to take into account the image of the team in the public eye, and what is certain is... standing in the league at this stage. The biggest evil force at the top is not and cannot be the Lakers.

But let’s look back.

Harris felt so happy when he saw the arrogant Sprewell being beaten. After all, he was also the head coach, and the Warriors head coach Carlesimo, who was choked by Sprewell, was also familiar with him, and this One fight down...

Harris looked at Li Shengli and others and felt that Sprewell was really taught by a group of Lakers educators. He just didn't know whether Sprewell was seriously injured now and the extent of his injury. Determined the scale of the public opinion storm after this conflict.
