Bulldozer of the NBA’s Restricted Area

Both sides were ready and the game continued in the third quarter of the second half.

The first attack was from the Celtics. When his teammates handed the ball to O'Neal, O'Neal was stunned for a moment when he saw that he was defending. Garnett on the other side was not stunned, and everyone went crazy on the spot. .

If I really ride the horse, Boss Li will guard against me?

Completely different from Barkley. After all, against Barkley, he still has the advantage of height and shooting height, but against Li Shengli, he has nothing, no advantage at all, because according to Li Shengli's short-distance sprint speed... it is absolutely certain that more than He is unlucky, and wherever he goes, his teammates must be unlucky with him.

The thing I feared the most finally happened.

The only good news is that his offensive area will not overlap with Pierce, and the two outside defenders will not take up a large proportion of shots. This has minimized the disaster caused by Li Shengli. The real pain is for him alone.

…

At this time, O'Neal had already fought fiercely for two quarters.

There was a rotation between the two sides in the first half, but as the main force, he and Li Shengli were always present. But now that the score is anxious, he can only do his best to reduce physical consumption. In addition, the position of receiving the ball is not good, so The ball went to Garnett.

Now, it’s impossible not to fight!

Garnett gritted his teeth and thought... Damn it, we are no longer wearing crotchless pants and playing in the mud with the Mavericks. After all, I am a respectable, 20+10 new generation leader in the league. , not only once did you really think that I could only do iron-blooded jump shots while riding a horse, right?

Therefore, when O'Neal was in a poor position, Garnett took the initiative to take on the offensive task. He squeezed forward one-on-one, and the situation instantly became very embarrassing... Li Shengli did not move at all, and Garnett's face was ashen, and he was worse than riding a horse. Playing in the mud.

"No force? Just use a little force, it'll be okay."

"I didn't exert any strength? I stepped on the horse..."

Li Shengli said something very seriously, thinking that Garnett was embarrassed, but Garnett's mentality exploded because of this ironic seriousness...

I can't beat him!

Scold, who dares to criticize this big brother?

Even though he was pushed out by Li Shengli like a second-rate insider, he still couldn't push forward even if he was alive. However, Li Shengli was rooted on the spot and had a stable center of gravity, so he really didn't dare to take action.

…

As a result, the ball was passed back and transferred to O'Neal's hands.

This time O'Neal's position has been adjusted, and Ben immediately became interested when he saw Li Shengli carrying Garnett like a steel plate.

"Come on, Shaq, use some force!"

"Damn it, do you dare to be arrogant with me?"

O'Neal was so angry that he trembled. No matter what was consumed, he bent down, lowered his center of gravity, and hit with all his strength. But Ben felt like he was hit by a high-speed heavy truck, and he didn't even exert his full strength. He was pushed into the penalty area by O'Neal.

There was a pop...

Although O'Neal has a large tonnage, he is quite flexible in a small area. He turned around, straightened his arms, pinched the ball and smashed it into the basket. But Ben really didn't expect it at all... because O'Neal was not polite at all and asked him to use it. With a little force, just hit full throttle?

…

The Celtics didn't cooperate with this ball, it was O'Neal who forced it.

Li Shengli saw clearly from the side...

It is impossible to completely suppress O'Neal. Even no one in the league can guard O'Neal when he is at his peak, but in general, he will not be beaten without the ability to fight back.

This goal was just Ben's own support. After suffering losses in the first wave of confrontation, a situation of losing one step at a time was formed. And if he really had to defend, O'Neal was not comfortable, because Li Shengli believed in Ben's defensive ability at this stage. Can break into the league's front line.

"Big Ben, don't relax too much, be careful!"

"Okay, I just..." Da Ben and Li Shengli ran to the front court, saying as they ran: "It was careless just now, but it won't happen later. He won't be able to hold on for long."

"Well, this fat guy has been a bit aggressive lately, so be careful!"

After Li Shengli finished speaking, he had already reached the frontcourt.

The established tactics are dead, but the execution players are alive, so Li Shengli is not in a hurry to face off against O'Neal. He uses a high pick-and-roll to cover Kobe's entry into the paint, while he moves down to the low post to take advantage of O'Neal's slow speed.

You don't have to worry about Garnett's help with this style of play.

On the one hand, Ben is restraining Garnett, and on the other hand, Kobe steps outside Garnett's effective defense area, and all defensive problems are O'Neal's...

He didn't want to let Li Shengli go, but Kobe came in and wanted to block Kobe, but he couldn't take care of Li Shengli and it was too late.

Without giving O'Neal any more time to think about it... Kobe launched a charge and hit a pull-bar under the basket.

He dared to charge because Kobe knew that even if the ball failed to score, Li Shengli would have a high probability of making up for the dunk. However, O'Neal, who tried to block him, had no time to affect Li Shengli, so he would not lose no matter what.

"Okay, well done!"

"It's okay, keep fighting like this!"

"Let's go, fuck him a few more times!"

Li Shengli and Kobe high-fived and then withdrew their defense, while O'Neal had no choice but to curse and run towards the frontcourt.

…

The game continues.

It was originally an inside battle between the two sides, but in the second half, Kobe participated in the internal melee as a member of the Lakers. The charges he cooperated with Li Shengli again and again produced the tactical effect that Harris wanted, and almost all the tactics were to amplify O'Neal's shortcomings. .

Offensively...

The base was close to the edge of the penalty area. Garnett's defense was forced to move back, and Kobe's resistance was reduced. The cooperation between Li Shengli and Kobe maximized O'Neal's shortcomings in movement speed. Without reducing efficiency, Li Shengli's physical energy consumption But it fell.

The same goes for the defensive end.

The team still exhausted O'Neal. Li Shengli and Barkley's efforts to block Garnett and Pierce also met expectations, and Li Shengli's physical fitness was reduced in the second round.

Although it may not be able to significantly reduce the Celtics' efficiency in the third quarter, the tactical effect is not achieved overnight. After laying out the prerequisites, Harris feels that he can reap fruitful results in the final quarter, and the Celtics are extremely capable. It may collapse directly in the final time.

…

After half a quarter, the Lakers' small advantage has appeared.

Eddie, Kobe, Barkley, and Li Shengli are the first-line firepower in the team and have the dominant firepower. As for the Celtics... O'Neal is almost beaten bald. Although his efficiency is slightly higher, the original backup Attackers Garnett and Pierce have been overturned.

They were evenly matched in the first half, but were dragged out by 4 points in the second half of the second half.

So, Celtics head coach Rick Pitino called a timeout, rearranged the tactics, and this time the timeout returned to the court... Li Shengli was surprised to find that there are really not many stupid coaches in this circle. .

The cooperation between Li Shengli and Kobe Bryant worked well in this half.

But besides the two, Ben also played a role that cannot be ignored, because his offensive positioning was always on the edge of the penalty area, restraining Garnett's defense, so that Garnett could not affect Kobe's offense.

However, the first attack after the timeout...

Garnett gave up on Ben and quickly rushed towards Kobe with his long legs to help O'Neal, who was in a dilemma. Kobe was also embarrassed after passing the ball to Ben.

Going inside is O'Neal. The distance is very short. No matter how slow O'Neal is, he can still cover him.

But if you don't go inside and take a shot directly, Ben really tried, but the force was too much, and he missed the jump shot and passed the ball to the enemy O'Neal.
