I just want to play healthy basketball

Chapter 182 Beat LA! (big chapter)

On June 6, the much-anticipated NBA Finals finally arrived.

As usual, before the first game of the NBA Finals, there will inevitably be a media meeting before the game.

After seeing He Li, a reporter took the opportunity to ask: "He Li, Charles Barkley thinks you are the number one power forward in active service. What do you say about that?"

Without waiting for an answer, the Bucks spokesperson immediately emphasized: "Please immediately suspend your behavior and speech.

Please don't try to use off-court information to influence He Li's next performance in the game.

If anyone else tries to do this, then we can only ask them to get out of here. "

The finals are about to start, and the teams participating in the finals are most taboo for such things to happen.

Players participating in discussions on such topics will inevitably invest too much. After all, players are willing to discuss his strength, his honor, and his status with others.

If at other times, the Bucks are willing to let He Li explore and pursue, and even help He Li.

But the finals are about to start, and He Li will definitely not perform normally in the game affected by this.

If it's just a distraction, it's okay to be dazed on the court.

I'm afraid that He Li will prove himself and beat him up and down.

Or if he is worried that something will go wrong, he will be obedient on the court, and he will not be able to show his due strength, that would be bad.

He Li is still a rookie with no finals experience. The Bucks management is really afraid that He Li will lose control of his curiosity and vanity.

Of course, now that the topic has been brought up, the Bucks don't want He Li to be affected, so there will definitely be some impact.

The next thing worth noting is how much He Li was affected.

Indeed, when He Li heard such a question rashly, he was a little dazed at first, and then he became quite curious, and really wanted to find out what Barkley was bragging about him.

However, the Bucks spokesperson has already spoken, and He Li can only speak in an official tone.

"Thank you Charles for your kindness to me. I just want to go in early to warm up. While I'm still here, everyone, let's ask some reliable questions!"

The reporters at the scene were naturally very excited to see He Li, and tried their best to get some explosive answers from He Li.

But now hearing what He Li said, he could only give up his previous thoughts and go through the process in a serious manner.

On the other hand, in the Lakers interview area, it is different.

In this kind of link, O'Neill likes to work hard.

"I don't need to think about how to solve the opponent He Li, what I think about is how to turn the enemy into a friend."

"Yeah, you all know what I'm talking about.

In order to achieve this goal, first of all, we still need to let He Li, that ignorant little guy know!
Who is the teammate he relies on in the finals!
We need to win this series, beat the Bucks, and build our dynasty.

I believe that when He Li witnesses all this with his own eyes, he will make the right choice. "

The first game of the finals is about to start, and He Li publicly persuades He Li, the boss of the Bucks, to join the enemy and become a part of the Lakers.

On the basis of OK's two consecutive championships, even if He Li joins the Lakers, he is only a third child.

And O'Neal said again, they will win this finals and build the Lakers dynasty with three consecutive championships.

The implication of O'Neal's words is that O'Neal didn't take He Li seriously at all. He Li can be the boss in the Bucks, but he is only worthy of being the third in the Lakers!

Facing such He Li, such a Bucks, the Lakers led by him are sure to win!

Different from O'Neill's self-confidence and funnyness, Zen master is a little cautious: "He Li is the well-deserved king of this Bucks.

How to defend He Li and limit He Li's performance are the focus of our next few games.

However, He Li is not the number one power forward in active service, just one of them.

And Shaq is undoubtedly the number one center in active service.

In addition, we have Kobe, I don't think the Bucks can find a player who can limit Kobe.

We still have many championship players, I think the victory belongs to us after all. "

At this time, Kobe couldn't help but speak.

Originally, Borby mentioned O'Neill first to the Zen master, and then he was a little upset!
In what way is he worse than O'Neill, a fat man?
Fatty is the No. [-] center, so am I not the No. [-] shooting guard?

Jordan?Hehe, he wants to be in front of me, see if I don't blow him up!
With such emotions, Kobe revealed to the media reporter; "Phil, don't worry!
If He Li runs into my field to play, then I will make him uncomfortable.

He should play in his comfort zone, he should get back inside. "

The guard plays outside, the small forward plays on the wing, and the power forward and center play inside. This is the basic style of classical basketball.

The current game still belongs to the category of classical basketball.

For a space-oriented power forward like He Li, even if he switches to a small forward, he should play on the wing instead of occupying the guard's space.

However, Kobe would be happy to see He Li's style of play.

Kobe Bryant likes to take the initiative to defend the enemy team's first offensive point. He Li playing from the outside is tantamount to throwing himself into the net.

Kobe Bryant regardless of size, regardless of the offensive player's offensive ability, is to lock the hostile boss.

Unless the coach doesn't let him do it and needs him to help the team win in other ways, Kobe likes to immerse himself in this state of hurting each other and torturing the opponent.

Speaking of which, the reporters were also quite excited to see Kobe saying this, and continued to ask Kobe a few questions.

Kobe was high-spirited and quite confident.

On the side, O'Neill pouted, a little unhappy, as if he felt that he had been robbed of the limelight.

The Zen master looked at Kobe quite appreciatively, but there was an intriguing smile on the corner of his mouth.

The pre-match interviews ended quickly, and players from both teams entered the Bradley Center to warm up.

"China Central Television Sports Channel.

Now you are watching the 2001-2002 season, the first game of the NBA Finals.

The opponents are the Milwaukee Bucks and the Los Angeles Lakers.

Now we have invited director Zhang Weiping to explain today's game for us. "

Sun Zhengping and Zhang Weiping naturally couldn't miss the first game of the finals.

Today is the live broadcast of the finals. It is almost time before the start of the game, but the heat has already begun.

"It seems that there are some different fans in the Bradley Center today."

Sun Zhengping observed that there were many fans in the front row wearing red and green T-shirts with "Beat LA" printed on their chests in English.

It is not the first time for Sun Zhengping to come to the Bradley Center. He knows that Bucks fans usually wear white and blue Bucks home team jerseys.

Even if you wear the visiting team jersey, it is not the kind with English letters directly without the jersey number.

If something goes wrong, there must be a demon. Two T-shirts with different colors are printed with the same subtitle, which must be problematic.

"You mean Beat LA, right? I noticed that too, they should be Celtics and Bulls fans!"

After all, Zhang Weiping has lived in the United States and knows a little more about the NBA, so he quickly explained the reason for "Beat LA".

"Beat LA is to beat the Lakers, and it was originally a slogan chanted by Celtics fans.

In the 80s of the last century, black and white duo, magic bird hegemony, the Lakers are the Celtics' biggest competitors.

Celtics fans are killing the Lakers!

Even if their home team Celtics can't beat the Lakers, they will cheer for other teams when they see other teams have a chance to beat the Lakers.

The slogan shouted is this 'Beat LA'.

The tradition continues to this day. Whenever other teams play against the Lakers in the playoffs, Celtics fans will run to support the Lakers' opponents and shout such slogans.

The spectators wearing green T-shirts are Celtics fans.

As for the audience in the red compassionate shirt, it is no surprise that they are Bulls fans.

Milwaukee is very close to Chicago, and it is normal for Chicago Bulls fans to come here to watch the game.

The Bulls don't really have any blood feud with the Lakers.

But if the Lakers can beat the Bucks this season, then three consecutive championships will create a dynasty.

The Chicago Bulls finally became the new giants of the NBA relying on the two dynasties built by the great Michael Jordan himself.

They are naturally unwilling to have other teams create a new dynasty, so that the legend that only belongs to them is no longer the only one. "

Just as Zhang Weiping explained "Beat LA" to Sun Zhengping and the domestic audience, "Beat LA" suddenly rang out on the scene.

During the period, there were still many shouting "MVP", but the vast majority of Bucks fans also followed the crowd, shouting "Beat LA" with the fanatical Celtics fans and Bulls fans.

It turned out that He Li shot a super long three-pointer in the midfield during the warm-up session.

He didn't shoot too much, he took 5 shots and made 5 of 2 shots.

In non-competitive conditions, there is a 4% hit rate. For He Li, it can only be so-so.

But for the fans, this is unbelievable.

He Li tried two hands first, and after the third ball was sure, he went directly into the net.

Originally, it was unbelievable to have a super long three-pointer, but He Li's shooting range extended to the midfield, which is even more amazing.

But never expected that He Li could score the second three-pointer in a row.

When He Li scored another goal immediately after, this kind of oncoming huge surprise instantly ignited the enthusiasm of the fans at the scene.

Bucks fans naturally cheered for their strength.

Celtics and Bulls fans are even more overjoyed!

They hope that He Li, who is so accurate on three-pointers and has such a wide range, can beat the Lakers by himself and achieve their expected goals.

"The game starts, come to the jump ball.

The two teams sent He Li and O'Neill respectively.

We all know that the jump ball before the start of the first quarter is related to the first attack in the fourth quarter.

For a game like the finals, this is critical.

Sometimes it even determines the final direction of the game result. "

"For a tall but flexible big center like O'Neal, the advantage of jumping the ball is too great.

Except for He Li, who can compete with O'Neal by relying on his wingspan and jumping, the Bucks are all free.

Prior to this, He Li hadn't jumped the ball for a while.

The Bucks suddenly dispatched He Li today, it seems that the Bucks are going to go all out!

One must know that He Li still has a leg injury.

But even so, how hard the Bucks still have to send out, that only shows that the Bucks must fight for the ball.

We can see that the protective gear on He Li's leg has not been removed, which shows that the leg injury has not healed.

Looking at so many protective gears on He Li, you can understand how much He Li has sacrificed for the Bucks this season.

It is not easy for He Li to play alone in the NBA. In China, we only hear what He Li endorsed and how much money he made.

But what I don't know is that He Li obtained his current achievements by working hard until he was covered in bruises, but insisted on fighting bloody battles.

According to the NBA, this is the iron and blood, and this is the tough guy.

He Li is making his own name in the fiercely confrontational NBA in constant hand-to-hand combat.

Today, I also hope that He Li and the Bucks can get off to a good start, starting from the jump ball now. "

Seeing that He Li was wearing protective gear, Sun Zhengping and Zhang Weiping also made up their minds a lot.

He Li couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion. When it came to the later, Sun Zhengping even described He Li as "the ancient Zhou Tai".

In fact, if they observe carefully, they will find that He Li's protective gear is very clean, and there is basically no wear and tear...

"Good guy, this energy in He Li, this belief in winning is really not to be underestimated.

He Li actually defeated O'Neal in the jump ball again, helping the Bucks get the ball on the first attack.

Today He Li was able to beat O'Neal with a jump ball in the middle circle, which may show that He Li's leg injury is almost healed! "

Zhang Weiping's eyes lit up while explaining.

He Li's jumping height and the timing of the jumping ball reaching for the ball are really incredible.

In fact, O'Neill and He Li jumped into the air together, but they didn't touch the ball when they reached out. At this time, they were also stunned for a second.

O'Neill didn't want to understand, how did He Li get the ball from him?Obviously he has gone all out.

He Li said that I also didn't understand it a little bit. It turns out that the ball is also helpful for the jump ball.

He Li hasn't turned on "Xu Huang" yet. He didn't expect to be able to snatch the ball from O'Neal in this state alone.

He Li also felt it when he jumped the ball. O'Neal didn't seem to release the water. O'Neal's palm had already slapped the back of his hand. Fortunately, he was quick.

But now, He Li has no time to relive the wonderful feeling when he jumped the ball just now.

Because Kassel has already passed the ball to He Li, He Li must devote himself to the game and cannot tolerate any distractions.

The Bucks did not play a fast break on the first attack. Even though O'Neal was stunned after the jump ball, the other four starters of the Lakers retreated quickly and put on a defensive posture.

At this time, the Bucks can choose to try five-on-four, but don't forget that O'Neal's speed is not slow, even O'Neal who has become a fat man.

If the Bucks try to take advantage of O'Neal's failure to return to defense and want to quickly get to the basket to complete the finish, they may be chased by O'Neal who is catching up.

Don't doubt that O'Neill has such an ability.

Playing fast breaks to limit O'Neal can only be limited by accelerating O'Neal's physical consumption. Fast breaks cannot break O'Neal's defensive ability in the penalty area.

It is precisely because of this that the Bucks did not waste the precious right to first attack, but played positional warfare cautiously, and then shot when they saw the opportunity.

As for the ball to He Li, it is also to see what kind of defensive attitude the Lakers have towards He Li.

Single defense, joint defense, or Jordan's rule?Double-teaming at halftime, or one-step double-teaming outside the three-point line, or double-teaming inside the three-point line?
The Bucks are ready to see the tricks, but the consequence may be that He Li was double-teamed by the Lakers outside players as soon as he came up, and then immediately made a ball error.

Fortunately, the Lakers value He Li, but not so much.

The Lakers used a single defense against He Li, but it was not power forward Robert Horry or small forward Rick Fox who defended He Li.

The first to enter He Li's eyes is two steps away from the three-point line.
Standing on horseback, bowing slightly forward, with his hands pinched on his waist, his eyes were piercing, looking at He Li's Kobe intently like a black mamba staring at his prey.

Seeing Kobe so serious, He Li couldn't help grinning.

"Huh? Laughing at me?" Kobe frowned, his mood changed slightly.

Kobe doesn't know why He Li despises it and laughs at him, but what Kobe knows is that he also works harder to prevent He Li from death, and let He Li know what happens when he laughs at him.

In fact, the reason why He Li saw Kobe laughing was very simple. He just inexplicably thought of Fisher, who was as fierce as a tiger in a pass, but Ross stepped past him.

Kobe's defensive posture this time is even more standard than Fisher's.

He Li felt that it would be interesting if he drove Xu Huang and accelerated past Kobe with big strides.

However, it took a lot of physical energy and energy just to get past Kobe, and there was no guarantee that the next attack would be able to score. Undoubtedly, it was not worth it.

After seeing Kobe Bryant spitting out the letter, sticking out his tongue and quickly reaching out for the ball, He Li immediately joined the ball, then leaned forward and bent over to fight against Kobe's body to protect the ball.

However, Kobe's height is lower than that of He Li, and his center of gravity is lower. In addition, the tonnage is not small. He Li can't push Kobe away and open up his shooting space just by relying on this push.

In order to complete the next move and avoid being double-teamed by the Lakers, He Li quickly tried to find the feeling and space.

Kobe is not a novice, he knew what He Li was going to do, so he quickly put his hands on He Li's waist, and by the way, performed small movements, pinching He Li a few times.

It made He Li even more uncomfortable, and it was not easy to break through and pass him when he was out of shape to shoot.

But Kobe didn't know that He Li was wearing a waist protector, just by pinching it, it had no effect on him.

Of course, Kobe's hand was on He Li's waist, and He Li's waist was unable to exert force. This had a considerable impact on the first step of taking off and breaking through.

For this reason, He Li turned around with the help of tentative steps and holding the ball, and took advantage of the situation to elbow Kobe's hand on He Li's waist.

If it were someone else, He Li might knock his hand off with his elbow, or He Li would take the opportunity to speed up and pass by with one step.

But Kobe is different. Kobe has too much defensive experience, especially the experience of small defense and big defense.

Kobe Bryant is not in a hurry to defend Heli.

After feeling He Li's strength to turn around in his hand, he immediately switched to another hand and put it on He Li's waist from another direction.

At the same time, before He Li's elbow hit him, he withdrew his hand back.

Faced with such a delicate and patient defense, He Li was also a little surprised.

However, He Li still wants to say to Kobe: "For me, defense is useless."

He Li stopped pretending and went straight to a showdown with Kobe.

Even if you defend me, I still have a way to retreat.

He Li directly stepped back and took a super long three-pointer, making a strong shot against Kobe's defense.

However, Kobe's height and wingspan are flawed against Heli.

Although Kobe is a Peter Pan, he bounces well, but Kobe is one size smaller than He Li after all, and he tried his best to block He Li, but in the end he couldn't prevent him.

Of course, it doesn't matter who the Lakers switch to to defend alone.

Whether it is Horry or Fox, the height is not very strong.

Moreover, the two are not known for their defense, and they are not even as good as Kobe in defending perimeter players.

In addition, compared to He Li, the two walked slowly.

So the only one the Lakers can try to defend against He Li is Kobe.

"Kobe Bryant's defense was perfect, He Li was forced to take a step back and take a long three-point shot...

However, He Li was the season's three-point leader and one of the greatest shooters in NBA history.

Oh my god, it's unbelievable, He Li's ultra-long three-pointer fell into the basket steadily with suffocating accuracy.

Scored 3 points for the Bucks at the beginning, and this is also the first time scoring in the whole game and this round of finals. "

At the beginning, the on-site commentator thought that He Li would hit the ball with iron, but he never expected that He Li threw the ball steadily and hollowly into the net, without even needing a frame or hitting the board.

This is really miraculous, and it really makes people almost gasp, and almost reversed the result of the commentary in one breath.

Fortunately, He Li's shooting speed is not slow. When the on-site commentator saw that the ball seemed to fall directly towards the basket, he immediately used ambiguous words to overdo it.

Wait until the result appears, and then connect to the correct commentary.

In other words, as soon as the on-site commentary fell, a burst of familiar slogans erupted from the Bradley Center.

"Beat LA!"

"Beat LA!"

"Beat LA!"

It has to be said that Kobe's previous defense did not lose his position at all, and his defensive strategy and defensive skills were also full. Kobe showed a textbook defense in the finals.

For such a wonderful defensive performance, even fans of the Celtics and Bulls must admit that Kobe's defense is really good and exciting.

But in this case, He Li can rely on his physical advantage to create a shooting space, and rely on his personal shooting ability to hit this ultra-long three-pointer.

If Kobe relied on defense to become a god, then He Li could rely on offense to become a god!
So next, do the Lakers still want to use defense to win the championship?

"Beat LA! Bucks champion! He Li, please continue to beat the Lakers with your offense!"

The Bucks fans at the scene also became restless!
