Bulldozer of the NBA’s Restricted Area

Damn it, the festival of life and death in the battle of life and death!

Seeing this situation, Phil Jackson couldn't calm down. During the break, his heartbeat accelerated and his face flushed. Although leading by 13 points in a single quarter is not new to the Lakers, it is the final quarter that is about to be played. This may be In the last 12 minutes, the Celtics fought hard to hold on to 13 points... it wasn't too difficult for them.

"No, we can't fight like this!" Phil Jackson's words were astonishingly fast and at the same frequency as his heartbeat. His heart could pop out of his throat at any time. But now the tactics are useless and cannot be opened. Li Shengli has not been able to fight until now. To rest, Kobe took half a quarter of rest, so there was no single-core situation for a whole quarter that he didn't want to see.

"Lee, if O'Neal takes a break later, no matter who is opposite you, kill him immediately in a single fight!"

"Damn, are you kidding me?!" Li Shengli said angrily: "Do you think O'Neal wants to take a rest? Stop talking nonsense. I'll beat him too. Look at how he played in the first three quarters. I don't believe he still wants to rest." I can hold it!”

"The key is whether you can hold on!" Phil Jackson really wanted to use the shark-cutting tactic at this time, but O'Neal's free throw shooting in the first three quarters was not weak. He hit 6 of 10 in a situation where both sides were not very efficient. It makes up for O'Neal's biggest shortcoming, but free throws may make O'Neal more efficient.

"It doesn't matter what I do. If you have any problems, just give it to me and I'll solve it!" Li Shengli felt that O'Neal was particularly irritable, but the problem was that no one had a way out today. The most important thing was that he was sure that O'Neal was getting worse and worse as he fought. After all, O'Neal and O'Neal in 48 minutes There is a fundamental difference in O'Neal's 36 minutes.

"Okay, boss, you go and hit O'Neal. I'm looking at Garnett. If this guy dares to move, I'll slap him with my big mouth!" Artest clenched his fists and said something, which made Phil Jackson With his head bulging, he glanced at Li Shengli.

"Calm down, don't cause trouble at this time!" Li Shengli held down Artest. After all, the whole team knew that this guy had mania. The purpose of playing was to vent his excess energy, and now he must not be allowed to mess up. Come.

"Coach, continue to arrange tasks!"

"Okay, listen to me now!" Phil Jackson said immediately after seeing the "rapidly cooling" Artest: "Fox rests, Green, you are ready to play, don't worry about physical exertion, you must give it to me To hold down Garnett, there is another task, Lee is the main attacker, you know what to do, listen, if you don’t feel comfortable in the mid-range, hit me to the basket immediately."

"Ron, don't rest. You don't need to guard Pierce. On the offensive end, go and provide Kobe with the ball to prevent the inside from being unable to open up the situation. And Kobe... As long as Lee can't score in the first wave, the ball will move out and you Just take action boldly, the rest is his business, you have to believe that Li, he is your most trustworthy teammate here!"

…

The more nervous you are, the faster time passes. By the time the arrangements are completed, the intermission time has come, and when you return to the court, the entire Garden Arena is boiling.

"Li, finally... I finally won the championship on horseback!"

"Save your energy, wait until you win before you say this!"

As soon as he walked onto the court, O'Neal couldn't hide his excitement. Li Shengli didn't have much more, and according to Phil Jackson's request, Artest retreated to the outside to assist Kobe. Crotty was still there, Green came on and Fox came off, and the real tactics The starting point became Li Shengli.

It was the Lakers who attacked first in the final quarter.

Li Shengli did not ask for the ball in the low post and hit O'Neal with his back. After all, no matter how much O'Neal's physical fitness declined, it was still difficult to defend in single defense with this fat body. Instead, he rushed to the high post to ask for the ball and pulled out O'Neal... Li Shengli had his back to the basket. The basket met Kobe, and he passed the ball to the side with one hand, and then returned to the basket.

Garnett couldn't help defend the ball, and O'Neal obviously couldn't run, but he still retreated desperately, jumped up and slapped hard, but failed to block the shot. Kobe was directly knocked to the ground with the ball, and was taken. When it came to the free throw opportunity, the result of 1 of 2 free throws made the stronger Kobe look very ugly.

Back to the Celtics offense.

O'Neal, Pierce, and Garnett were all there, and the offensive habits of the three were fixed, at least in this game. But Li Shengli threw the back to Green without saying a word, went straight to Pierce, and bang... Pierceby Kobe's front foot was even worse, and he didn't even draw a foul. Li Shengli, who had positioned himself in advance, was like a wall. Pierce was knocked to the ground and did a backflip. The ball was picked up by Garnett, and with a bang, it was a mid-range hit. Enter.

Back and forth, the difference is 1 point more.

…

Phil Jackson's idea was to let Li Shengli be the initiator of tactics. If he could hit, he could hit himself, but if he couldn't hit, let Kobe hit the basket. After several rounds... Pierce retreated first, but Kobe kept charging. What was worse It's true that he didn't get a foul every time, but every time he was hit, his whole body hurt.

If the fight continues like this, Li Shengli is afraid that Kobe will be scrapped on the spot.

"Don't hit me like that!"

"No, you pull further away and let me rush a few more times. This guy O'Neal is getting slower and slower!"

"Shut up!" Li Shengli roared angrily: "You have ruined yourself. Even if you can win this game, how will you fight the next one? Stop talking nonsense. Just listen to me. I will fight first!"

…

Advancing to the frontcourt, Li Shengli didn't say anything, and directly asked Crotty for the ball in the low post. After encountering O'Neal, the problem was O'Neal's single defense, but in fact... the defensive intensity has dropped a lot compared to before, even if he If you can't hit it in, you can still make a turn-over jumper.

With his back against O'Neal, Li Shengli felt that the force of the counterattack was much weaker, so he immediately bullied himself up and squeezed inside. O'Neal resisted the urge to vomit blood and stayed at the edge of the penalty area, but this position was enough... Li Shengli stepped up again Use your back to push forward and use the force to turn over and shoot a jumper.

O'Neal had no choice. He was stuck in a wave and was unable to take off in time. If he could have defended in the first three quarters, he could not in this quarter, so whether he would advance or not this time could only depend on Li Shengli's touch, and when he heard the swish behind him, With a sound... O'Neal knew the goal was scored.

…

Attack each other for a few more rounds.

In order to seek stability, Li Shengli's only requirement is that the shot should be as close to the basket as possible. Just now, Li Shengli was worried about Kobe being scrapped, and now Kobe is worried about Li Shengli being scrapped, because the process in the middle is too torturous, because he wants to grab the shooting position. You have to have a head-on collision with O'Neal.

…

"How many of Lee's turnaround jump shots have he scored?"

"It seems...3 out of 3?"

At this moment, Barkley and Smith were still staring at the game, but at the most critical moment, with 8 minutes left in the game, Li Shengli took action again. He made 3 of 3 consecutive jump shots and already reduced the maximum point difference to 14 points in the final quarter, chasing the lead. It has reached 10, and if we continue to fight like this...

"How could he be so accurate all of a sudden? I remember that in the first three quarters, he was only 2-for-6 from mid-range!"

"I don't know. It may be that O'Neal's defensive intensity has dropped. You should know that it is not only the touch but also the defense that affects the hit." Barkley said solemnly, "The question now is how long can this wave of point-chasing rhythm continue? Chasing 4 points in 4 minutes and chasing 8 points in the remaining 8 minutes is not enough to fill the previous point difference, not to mention that the Celtics can choose to double-team in the worst case scenario!"

"But have you ever thought that this is probably what Phil Jackson wants, as long as double-teaming, you know Lee's support ability, maybe O'Neal can be on par with him in post-up play, but the support ability... I don't think so. There is no one who can compete with him in the near future, and as long as they distribute the ball and provide support well, their rhythm of chasing points will definitely continue!"

"It's useless for us to say it. Let's see how the Celtics handle it."
