Chapter 133 Boggs’ Rainbow Fart
In the first quarter, Li Shengli received special treatment from the Bullets. Ellison and Gugliotta once again joined forces to attack Li Shengli.
Ellison, who was unwilling to give up, really tried his best. Even though he knew that he was losing to Li Shengli in all aspects, he still stubbornly carried on. However, unlike the previous games, this time he only had an angry and unwilling confrontation, without any superfluity. His small actions were not because he didn’t want to, but because he didn’t dare.
The same goes for Gugliotta. In his first game of the regular season this season, he was knocked unconscious by an elbow. This was a huge blow to a rookie. It even made him wonder if the NBA was not suitable for him. Fortunately, the bullet's psychological counselor did his job and brought him back from depression. In the subsequent games, he became more and more courageous and currently averages 14.4 points and 9.5 rebounds per game.
However, no matter how perfect his performance was, he could not wash away the stain of being knocked unconscious by Li Shengli. In this scene, he felt that even if he was beaten to death, he had to find his dignity, otherwise he would not be able to cross this threshold in his heart, and he would always be reduced to A second- or third-rate fringe player.
Li Shengli didn't know that the two brothers' psychological activities would be so rich, nor did he know that he had become a vicious villain in the eyes of the two brothers. Now he only thinks about how to get better rewards while ensuring that the team wins. Data to hit the All-Star.
Ellison can't stop him at all. Adding Gugliotta is enough, but if two people double-team him, his teammates will inevitably defend him in the air. He is also happy to pass and shoot to teammates who are defending in the air. How many times can I increase my assist data?
…
Until the end of the first quarter.
Although the Bullets strengthened interior defense in many ways, it only slightly limited Li Shengli's statistics. He still scored 8 points, 7 rebounds, 2 blocks, and 2 assists.
Despite the desperate double-teaming, he still managed to produce such all-around statistics?
If we don't focus on taking care of him, wouldn't Li Shengli go to heaven?
Ellison and Gugliotta were on the verge of tears. Bullets coach Weiss was furious because the data was so comprehensive. He ranked first among the Hornets in points, rebounds, and blocks in the first quarter, and even had 2 assists. indivual.
On the other hand, Ellison and Gugliotta, when the first quarter was full, the former scored 2 points, 2 rebounds, and 1 block, and the latter scored 4 points, 3 rebounds, and 1 assist. The two people's data combined He is not Li Shengli’s opponent either.
As expected, the inside line exploded. Fortunately, the Bullets' outside linemen Michael Adams and Rex Chapman had good touches, and small forward Harvey Grant also converted after hitting the basket and taking several big blocks. The outside firepower was reduced, and the three muskets withstood part of the pressure.
…
However, the good times did not last long.
Seeing the Bullets exploding inside and excelling on the outside, the Hornets naturally couldn't let it go. On the defensive end, Li Shengli was left alone to guard the penalty area. Even Johnson at power forward occasionally participated in outside defense, defeating the Bullets in just half a court.
The score between the two sides was 53:38, and the Hornets led by 15 points.
Although Ellison and Gugliotta guarded Li Shengli tightly, they still could not limit his statistics. Before halftime, his statistics of 18 points, 14 rebounds, 2 blocks, and 5 assists were too dazzling.
Needless to say, scoring and rebounding, Li Shengli can walk sideways in the paint just by relying on his physical strength.
As for the shot blocking...because the bullet was changed from sudden shooting to shooting, and Ellison had no desire to take action at all, the shot blocking did not change compared to the first quarter.
There are also assists. Originally, he could use the offensive rebound to make a second offense, but because Ellison and Gugliotta crowded up, forcing a shot was obviously not the best option, so he mostly used the ball. Handed to the outside, the assists increased by 3 in the second quarter.
…
The strength of NBA teams is only relative, because there are many factors involved in winning and losing. No team can reach the playoffs with a record of 82 wins, so even the weakest team still has a chance. On the counterattack, even if they fell behind by 15 points, the Bullets had no intention of giving up. In fact, they had no way to give up. As the bottom of the league, they would be tough against anyone.
There was a 15-minute intermission.
Back on the playing field, all the Bullets tried to boost their morale and planned to fight to the bitter end. However, the Hornets had a 15-point bottom line, so of course they had enough food to spare and were not worried.
Hornets ball.
Boggs quickly pressed into the frontcourt with the ball. After breaking through the bullet defense with a fake move, he ran into the inside. To be honest, Boggs' starting speed with the ball is definitely top-notch. He bent over. It was like a large basketball rolling with a small basketball, and he could easily get through no matter how small the space for movement was.
After a one-on-one breakout, there was a good opportunity. Boggs did not choose to distribute the ball and went directly to the basket for a layup. Ellison wanted to keep an eye on Li Shengli, so he had no time to cover up, but Gugliotta swooped up.
Boom!
Boggs' height always comes at a disadvantage whether it's a layup or a shot, and this ball was interfered with and slid out of the basket.
At this time, Gugliotta had the upper hand in the battle for the rebound, and Ellison was closer to the basket than Li Shengli. The Bullets seemed to have seen where the rebound belonged and had already begun to sprint forward. However... Li Shengli was one He took off with a long stride and got the rebound between the two of them. Because of the poor distance and position, Li Shengli was not a magician, so he could only barely pick up the ball, and then he successfully grabbed the rebound after taking off a second time.
"Go on, Boggs!"
"Hey, Boggs got it!"
Boggs had already slipped to the outside when he missed the layup. He was very confident in Li Shengli's rebound, and after receiving the pass, he decisively made his second jump shot.
Uh-huh!
This time I got in.
…
"Well done, Eastern Conference All-Star starting center!" Bogues jumped up and roared, exploding a rainbow fart!
Eastern Conference All-Star starting center?
The players present, including the Hornets' own teammates, were all in a cold sweat. The voting had just begun. Who was awarded the starting spot?
"Fuck you, uncle, don't embarrass me here!" Li Shengli was also extremely embarrassed.
"Don't worry, let's play hard, give me more rebounds, you get assists first, I'll get points, and I'll switch sides later!" Boggs retreated with cheerful steps, while the Bullets players were so angry that they wanted to hit someone. .
brush?
Do you really need to change the side brush?
How contemptuous are you of this? You really think our bullets are made of clay!
For a moment, all the Bullets were filled with resentment. Although there was little chance of winning this game, they also wanted to save their face. Losing was no problem. At least the point difference couldn't be too big, right?
…
Boggs was so looking forward to reaching the All-Star Game, so he asked Li Shengli during the halftime break to make plans with bullets. After all, it would be a waste if the experience of bullets is not utilized.
But the total is the total, who told you to say it? Isn’t it bad to keep your head in the clouds and get rich?
Li Shengli was speechless, because Boggs's high profile had angered the Bullet Experience Babies.
In response to this, Curry cursed in his heart, you two want to reach the All-Stars, but I also want to be the best sixth man, can't you lead me to do it? But then I thought that I was now replacing Gill in the starting lineup, so I let him go.
