Chapter 199 Luxury Wheel Package

The Jazz won both games, and the third game was scheduled for May 5, so the Jazz moved to Seattle on the 4rd to prepare for the game.

The match point is terrifying. You don't need to think about the pressure on the Sonics, because if you lose another game, you will lose everything. Not to mention the first round of the playoffs, and you will be swept away?

You know, the Sonics are ambitious this season.

Sean Kemp at the power forward position has entered the state after several seasons of honing. The data of 17.8 points + 10.7 rebounds in the regular season is enough to be regarded as a first-class power forward.

There is also Gary Payton, the No. 90 pick in the [-] draft. Although the previous few seasons were a little watery, he has improved now, and he can be regarded as capable on both offense and defense.

Compared with the starting lineup, the Supersonics are nothing in the top eight in the Western Conference, but the Supersonics pulled up a bench thug, and they are basically sure in the confrontation of the rotation lineup, even against the Jazz.

But the problem is... the advantage of the Jazz's main force is too great. No matter how good the Supersonic rotation lineup can play, it can't fill this big hole.

……

4nd night.

Seattle Center, home of the Supersonics.

Because the match point is approaching, this game may be the last game of the Sonics playoffs, so the attendance rate is extremely high, and for the arrival of the Jazz, the home fans sent their enthusiastic boos. Yilang, after all, he beat his own team 2:0, so booing you twice is not an exaggeration.

Stockton and Malone were fine, but Li Shengli was booed the most.

Let’s not talk about how the regular season was played, let’s just talk about the first round of the playoffs. If the first game is not the reason for Li Shengli, the record of the two sides should be 1:1, and more importantly, Li Shengli is stepping on the supersonic speed. The face is high, and every time it makes the headlines of the sports page, it is always embellished with the explosion of the supersonic speed.

"Hey, Li, your treatment is very good!" Ma Long laughed.

treatment?

Is this considered treatment?

Li Shengli gave Ma Long a blank look, and Stockton also smiled, "Okay, cheer up later, and sweep the Supersonic, they should shut up!"

"Leave Kemp to me, and I promise he will crush this bastard!" Malone said.

"Crotty, Payton will leave it to you!" Li Shengli said to Crotty.

"no problem."

"OK, after this game, let the Supersonics take a vacation!"

……

Don't panic if you have enough money at home, the Jazz have two victories in hand, and they will be promoted after winning one of the remaining three games, so the generals are still quite relaxed. group here.

Because of the first round of the playoffs, 8 teams and 4 games are playing every day, but the time is staggered. The Jazz will play at 8 o'clock in the evening, and the East... the Bulls led by Jordan have already After completing the sweep, the Eagles were sent away 3:0.

"I hope that the Jazz can complete the sweep in this game!" George Gervin said: "To be honest, I am looking forward to the collision between the prosperous Jazz and the Bulls!"

"No, you said it a little too early. The Bulls are very likely to reach the Finals, but it is not absolute. The Knicks will be the resistance!" Bird took a sip of water, "As for the Jazz wanting to reach the Finals In the finals, it is much more difficult than the Bulls, and the Sonics will definitely not make it so easy for them."

"Just look at this game. If the Sonics want to win, they must find a way to solve the Jazz's inside line, and they must also have sufficient firepower!" Thompson also joined the discussion, "But it is not easy to do one thing. It's so hard to do."

Before the game started, the three of them chattered for a long time. They were all non-graduate commentators.

"Both sides are starting!"

"Michael Cage is playing against Lee?" Bird was a little surprised, "If you don't use Kemp to mark Lee, Cage's effect is not up to standard at all!"

"Kamp faced Malone? In today's game, did the Sonics want to release Lee and focus on Malone?" George Gervin was also surprised, but he understood the pain of the Sonics after thinking about it.

It is true to say that all members can play, and it is true to say that the whole team does not have a single outstanding point, but the real situation is... Li Shengli and Ma Long's inside combination, unless there is a downturn like the first game, the Supersonics have a chance, Otherwise, the inside line will be blown through.

"This is match point, the Sonics will not give up!"

"Then let's see what arrangements are prepared on both sides!"

……

A few minutes later, the first round of G3 battle officially started.

The starting lineups of the two sides were the same as the first game, but there was nothing worth introducing. Kemp returned to the 4th position to fight Malone, and Michael Cage played the starting center again, facing Li Shengli.

However... the game just started, and everyone smelled something unusual.

The potential unleashed by the last stand is astonishing. The supersonic speed with no way out showed an astonishing defensive strength. All of them are fighting hard and pressing close to the body. Li Shengli doesn't know what's going on with others, but on his own side But it was a headache.

Cage slammed on Li Shengli like crazy. Although he knew that he was invincible, but he was fighting hard, fighting for physical fitness, and fighting for consumption. However, Li Shengli had to push back and seize the position.

Although he can easily take Cage alone when he gets the ball, according to this kind of confrontation, Li Shengli consumes a lot of energy, and several attacks are all one-on-one singles.

And Malone also encountered the same problem. Kemp's core strength was stronger than Cage's. After all, Malone had the upper hand, but not much.

Fortunately, Stockton's strong assist ability has created several offensive opportunities for the two without recklessness.

……

"Shit, these bastards want to consume us to death?" Ma Long couldn't laugh or cry, using fierce confrontation to consume the opponent's main energy, this is too common, but what is not common is... Who the hell fucked so hard at the beginning?

"Whatever, let's take advantage of the first half first. I don't believe that someone can exhaust me to death?" Li Shengli didn't believe in evil.

"OK, you can play a few more in a while!" Ma Long clapped his hands and said.

It was not as easy for him to face Camp as it was for Li Shengli to fight Cage. After all, the two opponents were not at the same level, and the two of them didn't care about statistics, so naturally they had to choose the cost-effective option.

So in the next game, the supersonic's tenacious resistance continued.

On the offensive end, Cage dragged Li Shengli to run blindly, but Li Shengli couldn't do without running. After all, Cage's mid-range shot still had two brushes, and this gave the Sonics several opportunities to score inside.

Except for a few points from the breakthrough, Nate McMillan took most of the Sonics' points in this quarter. The Jazz didn't expect that the focus of perimeter defense was Gary Payton, but they never expected this McMillan. Suddenly showing off his power, he made 8 of 6 shots. This is probably the advantage of the supersonic speed's comprehensive firepower.

As for the Jazz's offense, Cage, who is marking Li Shengli, doesn't care about anything. As long as Li Shengli holds the ball, he will fight hard.

Until the end of the first quarter, because the defensive intensity was really high, it took a long time to make a shot in each round, so the score between the two sides was only 25:20, and the Jazz entered the second quarter with a 5-point lead.

It stands to reason that Li Shengli easily beat Cage alone, and the point difference should be even bigger, but it is not easy for the Jazz to send the ball to Li Shengli. The first is the supersonic defensive blockade, and the second is Cage's abuse. Crazy cards.

Although Li Shengli can easily squeeze him away, it is guaranteed that he will appear again in the blink of an eye. Anyway, he is going around Li Shengli and begging for abuse.

……

If the first quarter was average, the second quarter was even worse.

The Supersonics have been making substitutions at the center position, and the replacement is to find Li Shengli to die. However, the Supersonics have this depth on the bench. Sam Perkins, Derek McKay, plus Michael in the first quarter- Cage, the three of them took turns to fight, just to engage in wheel battles to consume Li Shengli's energy.

Of course, Malone couldn't run either, and Kemp also joined the luxury wheel package.
