Bulldozer of the NBA’s Restricted Area

It's all into the fourth quarter.

To be honest, in this anxious situation, even 1 point is extremely important, not to mention that the Celtics still have a 4-point lead. O'Neal made a successful jump ball in the opening game and the first attack of the fourth quarter was the Celtics.

Although these are small details, the problem is that now every minute, every second, every stitch has to be fought for, and if 50% of the shots are calculated, the Celtics who get the first offense have a half chance of maintaining 4 points. Leading, with half a chance to score, leading by 6 points.

Unfortunately, Garnett hit another jump shot around the screen, and the situation immediately shifted from tilting towards the Lakers in the first half to tilting towards the Celtics. Li Shengli watched as the points fell one by one, and his jaw dropped. He clenched his teeth to get the ball and hit the penalty area with a low left side.

It's really better than confrontation, but it also depends on the weight!

It must be said that O'Neal has the upper hand at this point, but O'Neal is gradually showing signs of fatigue after playing until now. On the contrary, Li Shengli's aura of endurance has been opened up, and the final quarter is as vigorous as the first quarter, even if he really plays. If you don’t go in, there is still a middle distance, and the situation has not reached the worst...

Li Shengli exerted his strength, and O'Neal counterattacked.

In this round and round, one thing is that O'Neal's muscle control has declined a lot, so Li Shengli left half of the force in the second wave, causing O'Neal's center of gravity to tilt forward a lot, and even if it was lost, The weightlessness of the loss also made O'Neal feel like he was missing something, and a mouthful of old blood was stuck in his throat.

This is the time to lose focus!

Li Shengli got to the basket, waited for a while and Garnett came up. He held the ball with both hands and charged it into the basket. Although he didn't get the foul, he still scored.

And back to the defensive aspect...

Eddie was cautious and did not dare to take action, but he still worked hard on the defensive end. Together with Crotty, he drove the Celtics' attackers inside, because looking at the entire league, there is no longer a historical insider like the Lakers. He defended, and this time Garnett was pushed off the court by Ben. As soon as Pierce passed Barkley with the ball, he was blocked by Li Shengli, who was opening the gate.

"Crotty, go!" Barkley picked up the ball and threw it to Crotty.

"Eddie, follow me!" Crotty called to Eddie, and Eddie saw from the corner of his eye that Bruce Bowen was chasing after him and was also panicking. He ran all the way just to relieve Crotty of the fast break. There was pressure, but fortunately Crotty switched from defense to offense and was closer to the frontcourt, running for a layup.

The score difference in the final quarter went from 4 points, to 6 points, to 4 points, to 2 points.

Li Shengli blocked 1 of 1 shots, directly stabbing the heart of the Celtics. But looking back... Garnett had no choice but to force a shot and lost the ball. The ball returned to the Lakers, with a chance to tie!

…

Eddie replaced Kobe, and half of the shots in the backcourt were cut off. This half was given to Li Shengli. And when Li Shengli beat O'Neal again, it was like a "shark fishing" textbook. He used his strength, hit him in the mid-range shot, and then pulled it out to return it. Can give Barkley the ball.

"It's over. I only had 6 points just now. Why are they gone so quickly?"

"Damn it, O'Neal can't stop him. Can this jumper go in? Is the center leaning back?"

"What should I do, what should I do, there is not enough time, who can come and hold Li down, otherwise we will be gone!"

"Foul, damn, cut their Ben Wallace!"

"Let him shoot free throws and let him get out of the way so our Garnett can take the shot!"

Although the fans' active suggestions and suggestions for players and coaches cannot be heard, it does not delay Pitino's ability to figure this out. It is not a simple killing tactic, but to remove Ben Wallace. , not allowing him to threaten Garnett's shot, so the Celtics called a timeout to rearrange.

Wait until you get back on the field.

To the fans' great relief, their own team actually took action.

It's just that others touched the book symbolically and then signaled to the referee, but Bruce Bowen felt...it was a foul anyway, and it was the most appropriate thing to use the strongest force and not touch the criminal. things about the current situation.

So Ben suffered a disaster!

Bruce Bowen simply hit Ben with his head, but the problem was that he couldn't move at such a critical moment. Ben's teeth were broken. It was embarrassing to go to the free throw line twice and go 1-for-4. But the Lakers... Because on the defensive end, the outside line drives people inside, and the inside defense makes the three O'Neal brothers' hair go numb. The defensive effect of the shark-cutting tactic of allowing O'Neal to shoot free throws is not that good, and is even lower than the Lakers' regular defense. Therefore, the shark-cutting tactic is used If he doesn't make it, he'll be cut off.

There is no way, there is really no way!

In this situation, Rodman was not needed. Harris could only move Barkley back, let Crotty guard Pierce, and let Fisher play point guard. The reason why Kobe was not used...on the one hand The risk index is too high. On the other hand, Li Shengli got some of Kobe's shots, and the effect in these few minutes was better than Kobe's.

…

Fisher waited for the opportunity to play, and as soon as he came on the court, he felt the ferocity on the court. He didn't even have time to say anything. As long as he got the ball, he would be dealt with by Bruce Bowen. He never thought about it... A slight jump or a shot can be dangerous.

Fortunately, the battlefield is not on the outside, so now is the time to fight inside.

With Ben out, it is indeed difficult for Barkley to guard Garnett, but the problem is that O'Neal is showing signs of fatigue and cannot stop Li Shengli, who has turned on the aura of durability. Not to mention that although Barkley has difficulty defending, he can cut to the basket and eat. Li Shengli's assist is still simple.

The Lakers' pursuit of points has slowed down, but only slowly, but not stopped!

From halfway through the third quarter, the Lakers' lead was tied. By this quarter, the Celtics' lead was also erased at 4 minutes, and 4 minutes later...

The battle between the two sides was all fought inside, and Li Shengli's statistics immediately skyrocketed, with scores, rebounds, assists, blocks, and steals all being recorded...

North Shore Garden Arena!

The 20,000 fans at the scene and dozens or millions of fans outside the stadium were all plunged into extreme madness.

There was constant swearing on the spot and they could not bear the result. TVs were smashed when they should be smashed outside the stadium, and guns were fired on the streets when they should be fired. Boston's night was in chaos because the stadium was already broken.

Li Shengli's score may not be many.

But an assist is a score, a rebound is a chance, a block is a fast break, and a steal is a containment of the Celtics' offense, and it only took 5 minutes, with less than 3 minutes left in the game... Kyle The special talent fell into disarray, and Li Shengli scored 10 points in 5 minutes. The heads of the three O'Neal brothers were swollen.

It is possible to chase 10 points in 3 minutes.

What's impossible is that O'Neal is exhausted, Garnett is stuck with Barkley, Pierce can't get past Crotty, and the Big Three, who rely on the tiebreaker, are collectively out of gear, let alone chasing 10 points in 3 minutes, chasing 5 It was difficult to score points, not to mention Li Shengli's great momentum and grasp of offense and defense. In the last 3 minutes, there was no chance at all. Harris didn't even bother to make substitutions.

It is impossible not to resist.

In the last three minutes, the three O'Neal brothers went crazy. O'Neal desperately took the ball and pushed it into Li Shengli's arms. Pierce and Crotty collided hard and fell twice, almost knocking out their teeth, and Garnett threw his little elbow. Barkley's diligence was of no use. The fight became more and more angry, and both parties were holding back their final anger.

Until the last round.

Resistance is useful. We spent all the timeouts and tried every means. At least it didn't expand by 10 points.

But resistance is actually useless, because 10 points is enough to be sentenced to death. The Celtics collapsed in the tiebreaker, even if the final ball was still in their hands, and O'Neal looked up at the dome of the arena in despair, leaving The most recent championship ended here.

"How many more seconds?"

"Only 10 seconds!"

"Fuck them, copy guys, fuck 'em!"

O'Neal beat his chest and roared to vent the greatest frustration in his life, and Garnett and Pierce did the same. Although they didn't know what kind of guy they were copying, could it be the folding bench on the sidelines? But that’s okay…everyone needs a break.

"Damn it, it's time, they're going to do it!"

"Then go up, Barkley, charge at him, and I'll hold him for you, boss..."

"Shut up, you guys are going to hit you! Wait until the seconds are read, don't count the substitutes leaving the bench, and hit me while you're in trouble! Rodman, go help Barkley! Kobe, Crotty, and your boss, follow me. Go find Bruce Bowen and break his legs, let’s see if he can stand up!”

"How many more seconds?"

"Two seconds!"

"1 second to prepare!"

"Time's up, fuck them!!"

"Come on, fight O'Neal with me first!"

Write some more, I think you can read it tomorrow. .
