Bulldozer of the NBA’s Restricted Area

The Lakers game finally started.

Although there were curses off the court, Li Shengli was overjoyed on the court, because O'Neal had been killed first, and he would have made a net profit of 200,000 just by knocking off Mourning's statistics. Nothing could be more exciting for Li.

After waiting for a while, the two sides came on stage.

The Lakers started with Li Shengli, Barkley, Fox, Kobe and Nick.

The Trail Blazers started with Sabonis, Rasheed Wallace, Brian Grant, Damon Stoudemire, and Isaiah Leder.

Because they fought last year, and because the Trail Blazers have a Leder who is similar to the Sprewell incident.

So as soon as the game started...except for Leder, the Trail Blazers players came forward one by one to worship the Lakers. It would be useless if they didn't worship. If you don't worship, you would be looking down on the league's number one fighting team. No one can stand it.

So the whole pre-game atmosphere was so harmonious that it was terrifying.

Li Shengli liked this atmosphere the most, and sighed... After all, the method of maintaining peace is violence. Being a bad person is ten thousand times more comfortable than being a good person. There is no need to worry about reputation, because the reputation has been destroyed long ago; there is no need to worry about the opponent. The hooligans are causing trouble because the output of the hooligans in recent years is obviously not enough for old hooligans like them.

Of course, not to mention others, Sabonis, the big brother, is really good and has a high prestige within the Trail Blazers. He hugged Li Shengli and exchanged a few words before the game officially started.

…

It stands to reason that Li Shengli can definitely win the opening jump ball.

After all, Sabonis is old, heavy, and had irregular training in the early stages, which led to many injuries. But in fact... Li Shengli took off a little late this time, and the jump ball was directly caught by Sabonis. The Blazers opened the first attack of the game. .

but……

Although it was an inconsequential jump ball, O'Neal and Mourning outside the court were watching the live broadcast of the game and talking on the phone and immediately felt...the curse had taken effect?

"Holy shit, Li's jump ball will also lose?" Mourning was a little unbelieving.

"Okay, great, he doesn't seem to be in this state. You're going to win. Our curse has worked!" O'Neal was obviously very happy: "Really, letting you win is better than letting him win. This bastard If I really win, I will definitely say...Oh, I'm so sorry for taking so much money from you. Damn it, I hate this feeling."

"Okay, keep watching, a jumping ball is nothing."

"How is it possible? Have you ever seen this bastard throw a jump ball? No, right? This... means the beginning of his bad news."

…

At this time, the Blazers were the first to attack.

Harris also analyzed it before the game. The opponent's starting lineup is not as weak as it seems, and of course it is not as strong as imagined. The key point is that their rotation lineup is relatively capable, so that the starting lineup has no worries.

Follow this line of thinking and go down...

The Trail Blazers were indeed very ferocious in the first quarter, unlike all the teams that competed with the Lakers. They repeatedly charged into the penalty area, completely ignoring efficiency and scoring, and just tried every means to cause Li Shengli to foul.

With Li Shengli here, everyone has nothing to do!

With Li Shengli away, everyone has the last chance!

Trail Blazers head coach Mike Dunleavy determined the tactics early on, and he also had arrangements outside of the tactics, because Sabonis can really stretch Li Shengli in the penalty area, create space for the team, and cause opponents to foul after panicking defense.

You know, Sabonis' hits are very distinctive.

45% of the shots hit from close range, 32.6% from mid-range, and 43.8% from long range. In a purely ideal situation, if you choose a hard shot area, of course you would choose long range, and the advantage of long range is... Li Shengli can't hit nearly 44% of the time. Not following will weaken the Lakers defense.

If you follow, the Lakers' strength in the penalty area will be weakened.

Without following, Sabonis' 2.21-meter shot was basically uninterrupted.

If they want to return to the penalty area after following, the Blazers only need to be smarter and drawing fouls is the best option.

Dunleavy feels that... although running quickly may cause excessive physical exertion of the players, and they may also be charged with offensive fouls while drawing fouls, the Blazers' rotation lineup can still play. This is the only way for the Blazers to win.

…

Tactics are tactics, and it is certain that the execution will be compromised.

In the first quarter, Li Shengli was really annoyed because Sabonis was too far away and didn't even want a rebound. Except for Rasheed Wallace at the power forward, the other three people formed a team to launch a death charge. , went straight to the penalty area.

Barkley blocking?

To be honest, Barkley also had a headache. After all, there was no Li Shengli behind him. If he couldn't stop him, he would be scored. If he tried hard, he might get a foul. The Blazers' offense in the first quarter was orderly.

Of course, it is rare for Dunleavy to be able to solve the offensive problem. On the defensive end, he can only watch the triangular offensive system composed of Li Shengli, Barkley, and Kobe Bryant exert its power, suppressing the Blazers' head all the way.

…

Even if the tactics are so successful, why can't we take the lead?

Dunleavy on the sidelines felt the absolute gap brought by hard power, but the Blazers also had a chance, because according to his idea...

Sabonis pulled Li Shengli out, and Barkley struggled to defend. What will Lakers head coach Harris do? Should he replace Ben or Rodman?

No matter who he replaces, Dunleavy knows that this is the defense that the Lakers have improved by weakening their interior offense.

At this point, the Blazers will also change, because when Barkley goes off the court, the Lakers' inside line will be handed over to Li Shengli. However, they don't have to care too much about the Lakers' offensive shortcomings at the fourth position. They can choose to double-team and suppress Li Shengli's offense. The effect is Same thing.

…

They are both big-tailed wolves. Why are you pretending to be an old fox when you are riding a horse with me?

Harris knows exactly what Dunleavy's calculations are, and has no plans to make substitutions... To put it bluntly, it doesn't matter even if they fall behind, because he knows that the Blazers' offense relies on Sabonis's pull, and Sabonis is an old-age disease. No. 1 center, he won't play long.

Averaged 27 minutes per game in the regular season.

If the playoffs are full, it will only be three quarters at most, right?

I won't lose no matter how I play in these three quarters, but as long as you play Sabonis, ask yourself, if you beat me, what will you do with our Li Shengli? !

…

The two coaches are now playing games from a distance, and on the field... Li Shengli is also making small calculations.

"Data of 30+11+3+3+5?"

"Don't be in a hurry to score. I will need to take action when the big book comes up. I can play later."

"11 rebounds, 3 assists... Barkley and Kobe are both here, and the shooting environment is good, so let them play first, and I will get the rebounds and assists first."

"As for steals and blocks... the opponent's charge is so strong that blocks are simple, but steals are left to chance. No matter how good or bad he is, he can beat Mourning 3:0 with a rebound, assist, and block, and earn a staggering 200,000."

"Ah, O'Neal, what a good brother!"

"Damn it, after all you still care about me and know that I am poor!"

"Wow, wow, I'm so touched!"
