Chapter 113 Show You

Karl Malone was laughing, and Li Shengli was laughing too.

Although the two of them didn't know what they were laughing at, and both felt that the other's smile was sinister, but... this was a competition of momentum to some extent, and neither of them wanted to admit defeat.

"Brother, welcome to my home field!"

Li Shengli was the first to speak. Karl Malone has played for 7 seasons, and there is nothing wrong with calling him brother, but Karl Malone frowned when he heard this "kind" greeting.

welcome?

How is this welcome?

This kid is so arrogant!

Starting to taunt before the game?

"Boy, don't play dirty tricks on me, or I'll give you a try!" Karl Malone replied with a smile on his face, and the players on both sides, including Li Shengli and the referee who came over with the ball, were dumbfounded .

Listen, is this a human language?

All the obedient people couldn't help thinking about it, but Karl Malone didn't think much of it. After all, the referee is here, and he still has to give face. Understand the implication.

"as you wish!"

The player next to him was in a cold sweat and almost called the police, while the referee's face was even livid, feeling that the two guys in front of him were completely ignoring him by their flirting and cursing. He didn't say much about the dirty words, and signaled that both sides were ready to jump the ball.

...

Charlotte Hornets vs Utah Jazz.

The game officially began. Although the Jazz used Karl Malone to jump the ball, his height was still a big problem. After all, he was only 206 cm, so Li Shengli succeeded in jumping the ball easily again, and the Hornets got the ball in the first round.

Jazz hardworking center Mike Brown is marking Li Shengli, while Karl Malone is targeting Larry Johnson. Obviously...the time for Li Shengli and Karl Malone to compete for a baby has not yet come.

Speaking of it, the situation of the Hornets is too embarrassing. The outsiders who were not considered strong... Jill and Boggs, the two main players, one injury and one suspension, undoubtedly made the situation worse.

As far as the Jazz are concerned, the only real threats in this game are the Hornets' insiders, one is Lee Victory, and the other is Larry Johnson. In other words, as long as the Jazz limit the performance of these two points, the game is basically locked in victory.

The first quarter of the game has just started.

Karl Malone entangled Larry Johnson, while Mike Brown tried his best to defend Li Shengli, trying to block the Hornets' outside pass. Mentally prepared, but now it seems that this psychological preparation is not enough.

Facing the defense around the front, Li Shengli didn't even bother to run, and didn't even move to get rid of the defense. He abruptly squeezed Mike Brown away, and Bennett, who replaced Boggs on the outside, decisively sent the ball to Li Shengli. hand.

Swish!

Li Shengli bumped away from Mike Brown, easily turned and layup, and completed the first round of offense.

...

I know my own affairs.

The only thing that the Hornets can challenge the Jazz is the inside line, and Bishop Alan’s arrangement before the game is exactly the same. He put all the offensive firepower in the first quarter on Li Shengli, staring at the Jazz’s biggest shortcoming, center Mike Brown. tear!

Although Larry Johnson can also attack, he is defended by Jazz titan Karl Malone. It is more difficult to attack than Li Shengli's side, so the two are stable, and Li Shengli will fire for the time being.

And the task that Bishop Alan gave to the outside line... unless the opportunity is good to attack independently, otherwise it is to try to pass inside. After all, against a western powerhouse like the Jazz, the Hornets dare not waste any opportunity, because every offensive opportunity will be a victory. Foundation.

Until halfway through the first quarter, Jazz head coach Jerry Sloan finally couldn't sit still and called a timeout. At this time, the half-disabled Hornets actually... took the lead.

How can you make it look like this?

Although the game only lasted more than 6 minutes, facing a big team like the Hornets, even two of the starting players were absent, allowing the opponent to lead the score. I dare not say that the score was 50+ in the whole game, but the pressure It's okay to fight with opponents, right?

In fact... If Li Shengli is not counted, the Jazz are indeed playing against the Hornets.

John Stockton and Karl Malone's internal and external combination, plus shooting guard Jeff Malone's good touch, the Hornets' current defense is still unstoppable.

However...the Jazz played combos, the Hornets focused on point-to-point, and Li Shengli caught Mike Brown and tore it wildly, completely opening up the Jazz's inside line.

Although Karl Malone, who was frowning, wanted to help defend, if he let go of Larry Johnson... the result would be the same, it was nothing more than a question of who scored the goal.

There is no power to parry!

This is Jerry Sloan's evaluation of his hand-picked starting center Mike Brown, and Mike Brown is bitter in his heart, and he hates Li Shengli even more. The pervert rode on the face, not to mention that the head coach couldn't stand it, he himself felt uncomfortable, not to mention the poor offense and defense, and he couldn't even hold the rebounds.

People are fighting for rebounds, but when he got into the rebound, he relied on his face to pick it up... Unless the ball bounced on his face, the rebound basically belonged to Li Shengli.

Within 6 minutes, several statistics of Mike Brown were ugly. Fortunately, his face was good, and he picked up 2 rebounds with his face. Li Shengli really couldn't bear to grab the board according to his face, otherwise he wouldn't even think about it. How ugly it will be.

...

Pause ends.

The depressed Mike Brown was replaced without accident, and the Jazz's 2.24-meter inside defensive gate, the mammoth Mark Eaton, re-entered the game.

To be fair, in the NBA, players with a nickname generally have two brushes. After all, there is no dry goods. Who the fuck is full to give you a nickname, and Mark Eaton came with a brush... …

Although the offense is poor, the fun of this guy's playing is all in defense and blocking shots. In the peak season of 1984-85, he averaged 5.6 blocks per game, maintaining the highest record of blocks per game in a single season in the NBA. He beat everyone in his career. Super giant, won 4 blocked shots.

It stands to reason that with such a defensive gate, it is definitely no problem to start the game, but this veteran is suffering from injuries, knee and back injuries, and cannot guarantee playing time, otherwise it will not be the turn of hard worker Mike Brown to take the lead .

The Jazz coach Jerry Sloan put him out to suppress Li Shengli's offensive momentum. After all, within 6 minutes... the score was 14 to 12. Among the Hornets' 14 points, Li Shengli was the only one who broke their inside line. One person scored 8 points and 4 rebounds.

If this trend continues...

Even if Li Shengli's playing time is reduced by 30 minutes, no matter what, he has to score a large double-double of 40+20 and kill the Jazz alive.

unacceptable!

Jerry Sloan absolutely cannot accept it!

In his opinion... In this game, the Jazz must not only win, but also win beautifully. If someone in the opponent can get 40+20 data, even if the Jazz wins, it will be meaningless. After all... the opponent But fish belly and half-residual wasp!
