NBA restricted area bulldozer

Chapter 630

Into the holiday break.

Garnett and O'Neal scolded Li Shengli all the way from the court to the court, because the Celtics had a problem in the third quarter...

Li Shengli, who ran around on the defensive end, not only suppressed Garnett, but also suppressed the Celtics' periphery. Scores were slow for a few minutes.

In turn, the Lakers' offense remains stable.

Li Shengli's internal connection was not effective, but Kobe's external connection took off. The direct result was that he fell behind by [-] points in the first half, fell behind by [-] points in the middle of the third quarter, and then overtook after the third quarter. [-] points.

But the Lakers are not without harm.

Li Shengli's uninterrupted defense against Garnett is even more exhausting than confrontation, but this has little effect for the time being. After all, compared with Li Shengli, O'Neal, who played half a quarter more, consumed more energy. After three quarters, it was a real tough battle. , Coupled with the shortened playing time caused by weight gain, the combat power in the final quarter has dropped a lot.

……

Fight again in the final quarter.

O'Neal was still struggling, and Li Shengli also returned to the defense of the penalty area. The two sides gradually replaced the main force to fight and grab points.

Harris sent Campbell, Fox and double point guards Kobe and Eddie to the court. This is the combination with the strongest scoring ability of the Lakers.

And the Celtics.

The Lakers dropped their defense on full attack, head coach Rick Pitino simply let O'Neal + Garnett + Moser continue the three-person connection, Garnett pulled out Campbell; Moser rushed to the penalty area to attract Li Shengli; O'Neal Look for a chance to play one against Moser.

At the end of the energy saving, it is obvious to see...

In the first half of the last quarter, the Celtics' offense was very fierce, but as time progressed and the physical fitness of the main force declined, especially O'Neal was overloaded, the offense presented a situation of driving high and low, leading at the beginning, tied in the middle, In the latter part, O'Neill couldn't hold back and collapsed directly.

Until the last round of the final quarter.

The Celtics fell behind by 5 points after scoring, and the Lakers basically ended the game when they got the ball.

……

After the game, O'Neal and Garnett looked livid and didn't want to talk at all.

As for the narrow-minded Lakers.

Li Shengli ran back to the locker room with Kobe, Big Ben, and Crotty, ending the road trip, and because the next game was home, the Lakers didn't have to endure the pain of consecutive away games and flew back to Los Angeles.

It's just...the Lakers' championship elimination method still needs to be done.

"Li, the Celtics are a bit dangerous." Harris found Li Shengli on the way back.

"I feel it!" Li Shengli replied, turning his head to look at Harris, "What did you say in the game summary after the game, their performance doesn't seem to be at its peak, right?"

"Yeah, Garnett didn't play this point, otherwise it would be difficult to play this game, you know, I mean he didn't play the effect he should have in the whole game, not limited to the half quarter when you mark him." Harry Si frowned and said: "If I let Ben guard him, our offense will be weak, which is fatal, but if I let Campbell play, the Celtics' offense will be stronger. This multiple-choice question...is not easy to do. .”

"At least we still have options, the initiative is in our hands."

"That's true! We don't have a temporary burst, and neither do they. The result is an advantage, but if there is a temporary burst, then it's a matter of winning or losing." Harris nodded, "Also, I think we should talk about O'Neal... ..."

O'Neal?

Li Shengli has a headache when he thinks of O'Neill. After all, this fat man is getting more and more fierce, but the problem is also accompanied by it. Harris wants to say that it proves that he has seen it.

"The timing of the two of you keeping the same time, the difference in statistics is not big, this time you are 25+13, he is 28+12, but entering the rotation time...Ben and Campbell's offensive and defensive combination is better than theirs, and more importantly, Kobe's connection can also be staggered with the time of the inside line to ensure the stability of our offense and stabilize the pressure."

"Of course, as I said before, if we don't consider the temporary flash point, we are indeed an advantage, but they have Barros's three-point ability is also a variable."

"Isn't there still Crotty?" Li Shengli rolled his eyes, "Coach, why do you think about it every day? Changes that don't involve personnel adjustments basically have little impact, so it's useless for you."

"Well, that's right... I'll put the Celtics first and downgrade their threat rating. After all, they are not a Western team. This is a problem for the Bulls to consider. It is too much to prepare for a team that is only a threat. Not necessarily a good thing."

……

Back to Los Angeles.

After winning the 21st regular season game, the Lakers have a record of 16 wins and 5 losses.

A quarter of the schedule was completed and they continued to lead the league. The Lakers became the benchmark in the Western Conference. In the following games... the downstream teams desperately competed for the playoffs, and the upstream teams had a much easier life. Li Shengli was forced After entering the health preservation stage, the average time per game dropped to around 38 minutes.

As for the team's record, it reached 32/10 until the end of the game.

In the East...the Celtics, Heat, and Pacers have all raised their heads. Although the Bulls have continued their strength from last season and temporarily ranked first, the comparison with the same time period last season is still a lot worse. 12 defeats.

The West is still the same, with the Lakers, Jazz, and Rockets facing each other.

The Spurs ushered in the rematch of last season's injured and also improved, but the lack of manpower for the twin towers in the first half caused the sluggish record to be irreparable, but the improvement has been made in the second half, but the western rankings cannot catch up three.

But there are many surprises in the NBA league.

While fighting, someone in Houston cried... First Olajuwon was injured, and then Drexler's old injury relapsed. Barkley, who wanted a ring, felt abandoned by God.

From ferocity at the start of the season, to the top.

By the middle of the season, Barkley led the team to avoid relegation in the playoffs.

Barkley was about to collapse, and he worked until the All-Star Game time during the season... None of the Rockets' Big Three went, they just stayed at home and watched TV, and four went to watch the Lakers.

Li Shengli's starting center in the Western Conference and Kobe also got a starting guard because of his fierce performance last season. In addition, Nick and Eddie, who bought a package last season and renewed this season, played as substitutes.

It's worth mentioning that...the Rockets are not going, and the Knicks are watching TV.

Kemp, who was the only one left in the All-Star Wars, has already transferred to the Cavaliers, and looking around... It's a good thing I'm not in the West, otherwise I wouldn't be buried alive?

Li Shengli, Malone, Kobe, Kidd, Eddie, Nick.

There are 12 people in total, and Li Shengli's combat team has swept 6 of them. Counting O'Neal and Garnett in the East, 8 people and 5 starters, this team is simply... Spectacular, even Jordan watched it All weep.
