NBA restricted area bulldozer

Chapter 195

In this game, the jazz trailed by 24 points at one point, chasing 14 points in the second half of the third quarter. Although there are still 10 points to chase in the fourth quarter, according to this momentum, it is not certain who will win. .

Entering the last quarter with suspense, the atmosphere in the Triangle Center Arena exploded, and the overwhelming sound swept every corner, cheering for the Jazz.As for those spectators who were about to leave early, they also sat back and joined the boiling fans.

……

The fourth quarter begins.

Jerry Sloan unexpectedly replaced Malone with Jane Furhenlis. In fact, in the wave shooting tactic, the role of a top power forward like Malone has also become a pitcher. Compared with Henris, his frontcourt sprint speed is much slower.

So the Jazz Corps became one big and four small. Except for Li Shengli, the tallest is Tyrone at 1 meters, and the shortest are Stockton and Crotty at 98 meters.

speed up!

What Jerry Sloan wanted was to speed up, and the Jazz did exactly that. On the defensive end, Li Shengli and Tyrone teamed up to form an inside iron wall. Although it was a little bit worse than Malone, Li Shengli's ability to protect the basket was too abnormal.

To put it simply... Cage was beaten so badly that he didn't even have the desire to make a move, and Camp's back-up singles couldn't stand up to Li Shengli. Occasionally steal chicken points.

The Jazz's offense is fast, because the effect in the second half of the third quarter is very good, so this quarter continued the fast wave shooting tactics, the focus is all on Li Shengli's rebounds, rebounds are efficient.

The backcourt rebounds with the four little madmen running down the fast break. If the fast break opportunity is not good, just wait for Li Shengli to drop the ball and leave the problem to the Supersonics... Kemp wants to team up with Cage to suppress Li Shengli, and the outside line is four-on-three , but if Kemp joins the perimeter defense, Cage will be beaten into a twist by Li Shengli and then score.

It is not an exaggeration to say that the situation of this game was reversed in an instant. The inferior Jazz became an advantage, while the superior Sonics became a disadvantage.

So far, the Jazz's offensive efficiency has reached its climax, everyone is excited, the outside rotation is active, whoever catches the open will play, and if they can't score, there will be rebounds, and if the outside is 4V4 defense, then give it to the inside Li Shengli beat Cage violently.

Until halfway through the final quarter, the Sonics called a timeout again.

The Jazz's offense was fast, and the Supersonic's offense was steady, but because of Li Shengli, a rebounding monster that affected the balance, the Jazz's 10 points behind were also filled.

Li Shengli once again became the focus of the audience, and in the same half of the quarter, he scored 6 points, 6 rebounds, and 3 assists. Counting the previous data, the total data was 24 points, 28 rebounds, and 9 assists, a quasi-triple double.

The score of 24 points is so-so, not a high score, but 28 rebounds are amazing. You must know that whether it is the defensive rebound of the backcourt rebound or the second offense of the frontcourt rebound, it depends on a team. Words are very important.

It stands to reason that Li Shengli scored 28 rebounds alone. In this case, the Jazz should blow up the Supersonics, but the embarrassing thing is... the Jazz was in a sluggish state in the first half, and the offensive efficiency was low. Fortunately, in the second half, Jerry -Sloan took a gamble, and the wave shot tactic worked.

As for assists, because of the supersonic blockade, Li Shengli only had 2 assists in the first half, but in the second half of the third quarter and the first half of the fourth quarter, he got 7 assists in one quarter, all thanks to this group Wave vote brigade.

……

"Shit, to be honest, I think I should take back what I said at the beginning!" George Gervin stared at the live broadcast with some surprise, "This kid is very talented. He has a body, a brain, and can execute. If I were the ball The head coach of the team, I will definitely hire him at all costs, because he is so easy to use!"

As soon as George Gervin spoke, the other three were stunned for a moment. Thompson and Kareem thought that George Gervin had said something fair, but Larry Bird scolded George Gervin for not being firm.

"No, no, you should say that Jerry Sloan's tactical arrangement is too good, and he made the right bet, but in this game, Lee just played the role that a bargaining chip should have." Bird said as calmly as possible. .

"You said lightly, as far as this game is concerned, Stockton and Malone's performance is not enough, and if this game can be won, Li is definitely the biggest contributor, because his performance in the second half is perfect , The Jazz's entire team is attacking around him, don't you think that's enough?"

Is it not enough?

I am enough for your sister!

Larry Bird was sweating from anger, what about the agreement to share the same hatred?It never occurred to him that Girvin would be a 'wallpaper'.

"What's even scarier... this season is just this kid's rookie season. Don't tell me you haven't seen that this kid still has some room for growth. If he can improve his skills and tactics, given his age, what do you think the next ten years will be? In [-], he won't rule the NBA's restricted area?" George Gervin sighed.

"Okay, the game has started, let's see how the Sonics face the Jazz!" Thompson smiled and glanced at George Gervin, feeling for the first time that this guy is not bad.

"The victory or defeat is all in these 6 minutes, and the Sonics will definitely not give up." Kareem Abdul-Jabbar also said.

……

Pause back to the field.

The head coach of the Supersonics, George Karl, was about to explode. He had such a big lead in the first half, and he was beaten back when he said he was beaten back. It must be restricted.

How can it be restricted?

Michael Cage's physical fitness is not enough. He can only smell Li Shengli's feet when he is in full condition, and now he is not enough, so... Kemp has become the key to defending Li Shengli.

In the current situation, George Karl also thought of it. Jerry Sloan may release Malone again, and Kemp, the most critical defensive player inside, has been transferred out. Malone must also be restricted.

So, George Karl waved his hand and changed three people in a row.

Gary Payton is the offensive core on the outside, Sean Kemp is the defensive core on the inside, and the other three positions are replaced with big men, who are ready to block the Jazz's outside shots and can also take care of their own backcourt rebounds.

To be honest, at the most critical moment of the game, the main players who can play are generally the main starters, but all the Sonics can play, and the depth of the bench is the best in the West, and this is also the key to their competition this season.

……

In addition to the contest between players, the game is also a battle of wits and courage among coaches.

After Jerry Sloan used the wave throw tactics to recover the point difference, he immediately stopped. It is not impossible to use it, but it is not safe, and the safer way is to use the main force to fight steadily.

The reason why the supersonic hammer was blasted in the first half was that the state of all the members was sluggish. After chasing the score in the second half, everyone's state basically returned, so he put all the five main players in the starting lineup, and the main team in full state , he doesn't need to think about what arrangement the supersonic will have.
