Bulldozer of the NBA’s Restricted Area

When meeting O'Neal, Li Shengli could still see that O'Neal had a strong desire for revenge.

Not to mention anything else, after the Bulls in the Jordan era collapsed, the current Celtics have really emerged in the East, a group with strong combat capabilities. Although Pierce is currently one size smaller among the Big Three, the Celtics The foundation he has laid in recent seasons is really... very good.

Let’s talk about the Celtics’ offensive end first.

O'Neal's mid-range shot was really diarrhea.

Based on the approximate data of recent years...

The free throw percentage is slightly higher than 50%. Is it true to say that it is diarrhea?

Two-point close range is 40%, mid-range is 32%, and long-range is 28%. Does this mean that diarrhea is no problem?

The problem is that this guy's shot at the basket is a terrifying 80%. He keeps hitting the basket and few people can stop him. If the opponent doesn't foul, they can only choose to double-team him.

However, after partnering with Garnett.

Garnett's shooting range can ensure that an inside defense is opened up and create conditions for O'Neal to play singles; and if the opponent chooses to double-team, O'Neal can also create a output environment for Garnett in the same way.

The reason why the Celtics didn't perform very well last season was partly because of the problem of running-in, and partly because they relied too much on the combination of O'Neal and Garnett for their shot points. But this season suddenly broke out... The addition of Pierce is very important. .

This means that the advantageous output environment brought by O'Neal's singles has once again been amplified.

Therefore, whether it is Garnett or Pierce, as long as there is a brief opening, both of them can immediately eliminate most interference and make stable shots.

This is just the offense, the Celtics' defense is also strong.

To be honest, the reason why O'Neal's defensive rating cannot reach DPOY is still his inability to defend, slow lateral movement, and poor defense against pick-and-rolls, but his single defense in the penalty area is excellent.

And with the addition of Garnett, the Celtics are in a great situation.

Garnett's single defense is a bit worse, but this is relative. Suppressing the average fourth position is not a big problem, not to mention... his top-level help defense makes O'Neal, who can't defend, very comfortable.

Based on this, the two men basically complement each other on both ends of the offense and defense.

Sometimes O'Neal is concave and Garnett is convex, and sometimes it's the other way around, with Garnett being concave and O'Neal being convex. Of course, O'Neal is more concave, creating opportunities for the whole team, and within the team... little brother Pierce is convex. Other main forces also rose up, forming such a Boston gay army with explosive combat effectiveness.

…

After meeting with O'Neal and the Lakers' warm-up training, Li Shengli also understood that the proud O'Neal was about to take off, so he called everyone together to discuss the tactics for this game.

"Let's first talk about how Shaq will deal with this guy's basket..."

"What are you afraid of? With so many people inside, we can't kill him. He can only play at the basket."

"That's right, Big Ben and I are enough, not fat people and big mouths."

Barkley stirred up the topic, and Ben and Rodman expressed their opinions one after another. However, Barkley did not think that simply consuming physical energy could solve O'Neal's threat. After all, Ben and Rodman were both a bit biased.

The two went up, and the inside attack was weakened by one point.

With both of them on board, they are basically ready to fight, not with the Celtics.

Li Shengli looked at his teammates on the inside and could probably guess that the inside players in this game must be... strong. The good news is that almost all of the Celtics' advantages lie in the inside, but not the Lakers.

In addition to strong internal forces, there is also external firepower organized by Kobe Bryant that the Celtics do not have, and the Lakers at this stage are more comprehensive.

"When playing Kevin Garnett, the defense just blocks him, and the offense just plays around his help zone."

"As for the fat guy Shaq, if he can't get out of the defense, I'll handle him, and the offense is mine."

"Also...Kobe, it's your time now, and the people outside your organization should follow."

…

Waiting until before the game, Harris showed up and began to lay out tactics.

Obviously Harris also knows the Celtics' combat effectiveness, otherwise he would not be able to achieve a record of 18/2. For such a team with distinctive tactical characteristics, his first thought is to go up first and watch the first quarter. Follow-up effects.

Tactics are a good thing, but they don’t work out in every game.

Therefore, the first quarter may even be the first half of the quarter, which will be the bottom time for both sides. After that, they will check for gaps in the original tactics and rotate the lineup. What Harris did not say is...the Celtics' fatal weakness is O'Neal's. penalty.

If he really hits the critical moment, O'Neal will be the Lakers' new teammate!

Of course, this kind of 'fair but ugly' shark-cutting tactic is rarely used, because if played like this, the game will not look good, and there are really not many fans who are willing to watch O'Neal's free throws. If they are eager to take the penalty, they will use all kinds of weird methods. Weird posture, awkward situation.

…

When it came time to debut, all starters from both sides appeared.

You can guess the Celtics' starting lineup. O'Neal, Garnett, and Pierce are all there. The two guards are Greg Miner and Dana Burrows. They don't have much offensiveness and are basically regarded as Oga. Leather tool man.

As for the Lakers starting lineup...

The goal of checking tactics and status in the first quarter has been determined, so the Lakers' starting lineup is not too surprising. Li Shengli, Barkley, Fox, Kobe, and Nick are considered regular starters.

Waited for a while.

Li Shengli and O'Neal went to the center circle to jump the ball. This was the first time the two met in the new season. The moment their eyes met, the other eight people on the court were all excited, each staring at their own target.

"Damn it, Li, look, take a good look at my lineup!"

"Well, I saw it. It's very strong. I think it's very strong. It should be... enough to compete for runner-up."

"Hey, I know you don't have nice things to say, but it doesn't matter. I'll let you have a taste of it."

O'Neal grinned, he had waited too long for today, and as soon as the referee threw the ball...

Before O'Neal struggled to take off, Garnett already looked like a superstar. He was very experienced and immediately retreated with his teammates.

…

Grass?

You horse riders don’t believe me either?

O'Neal failed to compete for the jump ball. When he landed, he found that a bunch of unscrupulous teammates had been led away by Garnett. Others were almost crying, but there was no way... After gaining weight, he just couldn't jump Li Shengli, and Garnett He has already understood everything, after all, he is too familiar with these two eldest brothers.

…

The Lakers attacked first, but Nick sent the ball to Li Shengli.

Since it's a matter of getting a feel for tactics and status, of course we have to use the Lakers' most conventional tactics.

Although O'Neal's one-on-one defense is very strong, and he is so fierce that he doesn't look like an individual, but the entire Lakers team also knows... When they encounter O'Neal and Li Shengli, they definitely don't intend to be a man. If they really want to find a center who can beat O'Neal in isolation, Not counting the aging veteran center, Li Shengli is estimated to be the first player in the league at this stage.

…

With a low back attack, Li Shengli beat O'Neal.

Li Shengli's face was livid, and he couldn't stand it if he didn't find the rhythm. O'Neal was also livid and extremely serious. After all, he usually hits the basket, but Li Shengli has a mid-range that he doesn't have, so he has to guard against it.

"Brother, hold on, I'm going in!"

"Damn it, come on, come on, come in quickly!"

Li Shengli turned sideways and talked nonsense to O'Neal, and O'Neal was not to be outdone. Even the others felt chills in their buttocks when they heard this conversation, but no matter what...this was the first time that the centers were masturbating each other.
