Bulldozer of the NBA’s Restricted Area

The Lakers stunned the entire league in one game.

The overall disadvantage situation made everyone think that the Lakers had lost, but they did not expect that one final quarter overturned everyone's perception... Not counting the first three quarters, Li Shengli scored 18 points, 6 rebounds, 5 assists and 5 blocks in the last quarter. 4 breaks, accurate 5X5 data in a single quarter, no one would dare to think about it.

For a time, the NBA circle exploded.

Everyone really can't understand how someone can produce such desperate data, and if you think about it carefully... This data is thanks to Dunleavy. After all, the Blazers don't play foul tactics. Li Shengli's only improvement is his scoring data, and It is not quasi-5X5 data for a single section.

The large score is not terrible, what is terrible is that it is so comprehensive that it is unimaginable!

Because the score can always be limited. If everyone stops playing and is double-teamed by three people, the score will definitely be discounted. However, it is different with 5X5 in a single quarter. This means that you have no way to restrain this kind of person, especially He is a top center who can block the defense within two steps of the three-point line.

dream?

This horse riding is magical!

The day after the game, all the media's focus was on Los Angeles, where everyone denounced the Blazers' late tactics, and even took Don Nelson, who popularized the shark-cutting tactic, to the ditch.

Therefore, Nelson, the tactical inventor who currently coaches the Dallas Mavericks, feels so wronged!

Damn it, it obviously had nothing to do with him, so why did he have to put the shit on his head, and all his resentment was transferred to Dunleavy, who cheated him from above, but no matter what... it was good for him, Because Dunleavy's game can be regarded as an evolution of the "shark-killing tactic" and evolved into the "shark-leaping tactic".

The best center duo in the league?

All of them were disgusted by the tactics he initiated?

The day after the game, besides Li Shengli, Don Nelson seemed to be the biggest beneficiary. Even though the Mavericks were on holiday, he, the head coach, was uncharacteristically frequent in the media.

Beat the Celtics and cut O'Neal.

Against the Lakers, as long as Li Shengli takes off, he will directly cut down the free throw shooters except Li Shengli.

This has become the consensus of the entire league, and Nelson is indispensable. Except for Nelson, who was inexplicably pulled out to be whipped, the entire league has turned its attention to Los Angeles, the Lakers, and Li Shengli.

The first three quarters were mediocre, but a shot in the fourth quarter was fatal?

All teams have imagined that if this rhythm... Li Shengli is already invincible, no one is the Lakers' opponent, and the only consolation is that such sudden outbreaks do not happen often, and everyone seems to have a little chance.

…

As for the parties involved...

Of course Li Shengli was happy after the war, but the joy of victory was far less joyful than collecting gambling debts.

Earn 200,000 yuan per game.

Li Shengli collected the money from O'Neal and Mourning the next day, but considering that the three brothers' bets were calculated based on 7 games, there were still 6 games left.

Winning them all would be 1.2 million.

Taking into account the bonuses given every year by the management represented by West, this revenue-generating plan is currently perfect.

The huge windfall made Li Shengli, who was not rich to begin with, very happy. But looking back... it may not be easy to swallow up O'Neal and Mourning. On the one hand, it depends on the resistance of the Blazers, and on the other hand, it depends on the Blazers' resistance. On the one hand, it also depends on the resistance of O'Neal and Mourning's opponents.

Now the only thing that can be controlled independently is the game against the Trail Blazers.

So after the first game, Li Shengli also needs to worry about how to play the next few games, because in this game, the Trail Blazers sent a bad signal and created some obstacles for this playoff journey. Fortunately, Harris At the end of the training the next day, I sat down with everyone and talked about it.

…

"No, coach, if I was allowed to play, my free throw... I would be a sinner!" Ben felt sick when he thought about the rhythm of the final quarter of the G1 game. Although the number of fouls was limited, he would not be messy at the beginning, but the key The moment is still okay.

"Then you still don't practice free throws?" Harris cursed with a head as big as an ox, then turned around and said: "But you don't have to worry, because the situation is not as bad as you think, and Li can't maintain that terrifying efficiency forever. , so I don’t think the Blazers will play this trick again.”

"I think so too!" Li Shengli nodded, glanced at Barkley and said: "We still have Barkley here. If we make more than 70% of our free throws, we can guarantee a scoring efficiency that is far higher than usual, so don't worry about it, Big Ben." Worry, if we really need to use foul tactics, we can just make another substitution."

"Of course, can I still play well?" Barkley curled his lips and said: "The Trail Blazers got off to a bad start this time. Compared with us, the Celtics were the worst because they beat us, the Lakers. , Foul tactics may not be used, but when playing against the Celtics... they must be used."

It really is……

What a shame!

Li Shengli thought of his good brother O'Neal and felt so miserable.

Because the 'shark-cutting tactic' was tailor-made for O'Neal, this tactic does not require player quality at all. A large number of substitutes can touch O'Neal at any time, and just like Barkley said...the Blazers opened it with one hand this time Pandora's box, the Eastern Conference playoff teams have a person who takes the blame, shameless and without any psychological burden. After all, the Trail Blazers are taking the blame.

Back to the Lakers.

If you advance to the finals, if you can choose your opponent, almost no one except Li Shengli is willing to choose the Celtics. But the current situation is... the wind direction has changed, and it is logical to cut the shark.

"Damn, this fat guy won't be beaten to autism, will he?"

"If he can't even make it to the finals, then he will definitely not be willing to bet against me!"

"No, this won't work. If that's the case, I won't be able to defraud you any money!"

Li Shengli murmured a few words, but there was really nothing he could do. He could only pray that O'Neal would have better luck, pass all the way to the finals, do a good job of generating income for himself, and achieve true financial freedom as soon as possible.

"Okay, that's it for today."

"Don't worry about the next few games. Don't forget that the Blazers were also very efficient in the first five minutes of the third quarter to the fourth quarter. Basically... it is difficult to enter the rhythm of the previous fourth quarter, and Our next goal is to sweep them and advance to the Western Conference Finals, and then it will be really difficult, because there is a high probability that we will encounter the Spurs."

After Harris finished his concluding remarks, today's training was considered over, and the Lakers generals thought about it. They got off work after making a fuss all the way, and waited for the second home game to continue.

…

The Lakers are relatively relaxed.

But what the Lakers can see, think about, and guess is something that the Celtics are not afraid of. After the Lakers beat the Trail Blazers, they immediately alerted the Celtics, and alerts are alert... I really have to say There was no way at all, O'Neal just cried.

Not to mention the Eagles, their second-round opponent!

It's hard to say whether the Hawks will be embarrassed, but O'Neal knows that the Heat can do it, because the Heat can't hold back Mourning alone, and if we really want to talk about the initiator of all this... O'Neal does not blame the inventor Nelson, nor does he blame learning and selling now Dunleavy only blames Li Shengli who always plays tricks on him.

As a result, O'Neal, heartbroken, felt the malice coming from the entire league.

Originally, due to public criticism, everyone was sneaking up on him at critical moments, and he tolerated it, but now... the Lakers' first game of the second round started a wave of specific applications of foul tactics across the league. The direct result of the big discussion of practical examples is that the remaining teams in the Eastern Conference are completely confused if they don't take action against the Celtics!

Although you won't lose too many points on free throws in a single game, the problem is that no team in the playoffs is weak, and a difference of one or two points can be fatal.

Specific to examples...

He averaged 10 free throws per game this season, and 50% of his free throws came out. Calculated at 70%, he has already lost 2 points.

If the opponent is really shameless and makes him take 30 free throws.

Then...the Celtics lost by 6 points before the game even started, and there were too many games that were decided within 6 points.

Thinking of this, O'Neal couldn't help but curse Li Shengli, who was trying to impress the whole league... Bah, you evil spirit, you killed me by stepping on your horse!
