Bulldozer of the NBA’s Restricted Area

After hanging up the phone with O'Neal, Li Shengli felt wronged and angry. When he found Artest eavesdropping with his ear, he gave him a blank look. When Artest thought about it... Look, I'm not the only one. Is that what you said?

Damn, what does that expression mean?

Li Shengli was furious. He ignored Artest's strange expression and called Philadelphia. The training for the 76ers had not started yet, so Ben received the call.

"Boss, what's the matter? We'll be training soon!"

"Is Allen next to you? How is he doing today?"

Li Shengli asked Ben. The 76ers must have just finished their morning meeting. Iverson happened to be next to Ben. When he heard Li Shengli asked, he came to Ben and said, "Here I am, I'm here. We will definitely defeat them today, and besides... you tell Kobe and let him watch, he can't catch up with me!"

"That's a matter between you two. Before that, we have to take down Shaq, the bastard!"

"No problem, leave it to me!" Ben was very happy that his importance in the team had been improved.

"Lee, let's fight first. It depends on Kobe whether he can catch up with me!" Iverson said something close to him. After hanging up the phone, he and Ben went to the training ground to prepare for the game.

…

After waiting for a while, Li Shengli and Artest returned to the team for daily training.

Until noon, when the Lakers generals took a break for dinner, Li Shengli and Kobe went to watch the game between the Celtics and the 76ers in advance. The first half of the game had already been played, and now it was the third quarter of the second half. The score is currently 77:75, with the Celtics trailing by 2 points.

Of course, Li Shengli and Kobe are most concerned about the data of O'Neal and Iverson.

It is estimated that the two teams have also smelled the special smell of the last game. Both sides are creating opportunities for candidates. Even if they are watching the game midway, Li Shengli and Kobe can feel it, and so far... O'Neal and Iverson have been together. There was no minute's rest time. O'Neal scored 23 points, but Iverson scored 38 points.

Damn, Iverson scored 38 points before the third quarter was over?

Kobe didn't look good. Li Shengli patted him on the shoulder and said he would watch the game first and wait until it was over.

…

Celtics beat 76ers?

To be honest, the 76ers' restrictions on O'Neal are far greater than the Celtics' restrictions on Iverson, because Iverson's shooting area is wider, but O'Neal is limited to the penalty area and is defended by his partner. feeling bad.

According to the general competition pattern...

The greater the opponent's restriction on O'Neal, the better Garnett's performance will be. This is the most basic idea of ​​the two-person combination. But the problem is that the Celtics want O'Neal to keep scoring in this game, and the 76ers are accurate. In order to understand this, let Ben use his full strength to defend O'Neal from the beginning regardless of physical fitness. As for the problem of making Garnett and Pierce play comfortably, the 76ers don't care.

By the two and a half quarters, O'Neal had 23 points.

If you continue to play, you will probably score around 30 points, and your average points per game will not increase or decrease.

But Iverson was different. O'Neal was guarding the inside and didn't even look at the shortest scorer, because his teammates couldn't catch the extremely fast Iverson. More importantly, Iverson had more shooting points than him. Too many. With his 23 points, Iverson has reached 38 points, accounting for nearly half of the team's scoring.

Originally, O'Neal's 29.8 average was 0.2 ahead of Iverson's 29.6 average.

However, including this game, Iverson has played 70 games this season, and O'Neal has played 77 games.

Iverson ends with 38 points, which can increase the average by 0.12 to 29.72. If O'Neal ends with 23 points, the average will drop by 0.09 to 29.71, truly reaching the level of two decimal places.

But the key is that there is still the last quarter and a half of the game.

According to the previous trend, Iverson's scoring efficiency per unit time is obviously higher, but now he is stuck at the watershed, and the hope becomes smaller the further back he goes. After head coach Pitino called a timeout... O'Neal was anxious. I almost cursed.

To be fair, it is not a simple matter for black players to calculate the simplest average per game. After all, it is troublesome to even go to the supermarket to find change. But the problem is that everyone is staring at this data before the game, so during the timeout, everyone Everyone was aware of the current gap, especially O'Neal, who after thinking about it, immediately became alert and sensed the danger.

…

"It's over, Shaq, you can't beat him!"

"If we keep playing, we won't be able to catch up to the average, we can only get bigger and bigger!"

Garnett was dumbfounded, and Pierce, as the younger brother, was scratching his head. Although the 76ers' defense and the inside defense were indeed targeting O'Neal, O'Neal was in good shape and was expected to be able to stabilize to around 30 points before the end of the game. , guaranteed to average points per game.

It's just that when Iverson is sprinting, it doesn't make much sense to ensure that the average per game does not increase or decrease. And when O'Neal reaches 30 points, maybe... maybe Iverson has already approached the 50 mark. By then, The difference is no longer a problem of 0.01.

"Damn, how could this happen?"

"Why can't you suppress that kid!"

No matter how much nonsense everyone usually does, they must not joke about this kind of thing at this time. Seeing O'Neal's face so dark that it reflected light, Garnett and Pierce were very upset. They hated not being able to help O'Neal and were equally disgusted. Iverson is extremely difficult to deal with.

"Shaq, give it another try in the last quarter and a half!" Garnett actively suggested.

"No matter how hard you try, the chance is slim. We can't stop Allen Iverson at all." Pierce expressed his opinion more honestly.

"Shut up! How long has this been and you are still making sarcastic comments?" Garnett had a rare seriousness on his face and scolded Pierce sternly, and Pierce's temper also rose.

"Damn, then how else do you think you can fight?"

"Winning or losing the 76ers doesn't affect their rankings. They don't care about winning or losing this game at all. According to the normal rhythm, Shaq has already lost. If they are really in a hurry, then they will fight for free throws? But free throws... What do you think about Shaq? Who can you beat?"

"The most important thing is, even if both Shaq and Iverson are in scoring drought in this quarter and a half, even if Shaq is a little bit ahead of Iverson, don't forget that there are still Lakers and Kobe. Boss Li's side... Boss Li, Kevin, I don't need to say anything, they are all crazy."

"Get out of here, you're just trying to win. How do you know whether you're going to win or lose if you don't fight once?" Garnett was not that rational.

"Damn, why are you always scolding me? Can you calm down?" Pierce felt a little uncomfortable. He glanced at O'Neal and asked: "Boss, you can make your own choice. I just mentioned a possibility. If you want to fight once, we are all willing to do it." I’ll keep fighting with you, as long as you talk!”

ask me? !

Damn it, now you’re even spanking me!

O'Neal knew Pierce was right.

No matter how he plays, Iverson on the 76ers' side will immediately ride on his head in terms of average per game. This means that in the three-way competition for the scoring champion, he will be the first to be eliminated. He glanced at the 76ers' bench and saw Taking a look at Daben, he felt that this was too disgusting.

He knows how Ben ended up with the 76ers.

He also knew why Iverson suddenly caught up.

And Kobe also caught up with him for no reason, but he still knew!

Li Shengli, Li Shengli!

You're just stepping on the horse, old bastard!
