Chapter 180 Complete Blockade of the Restricted Area

Jerry Sloan called a timeout, but didn't say anything to Li Shengli. He just ordered the team's defensive tasks. The Jazz generals came on the stage again, and Li Shengli really mustered all his strength and was more serious than ever.

Jazz attack.

As a top point guard, Stockton has averaged 15 points per game this season and also scored 12 assists. There is no doubt about his ability. As soon as Tyrone Corbin got rid of the Spurs defense, Stockton's ball was accurate. Tyrone started to attack the basket.

However...Robinson ducked and dived.

boom!

Tai Long was blocked as soon as he made a move, and he was completely stunned. Li Shengli's face was livid. He felt that he met a general in full condition today, and the difficulty of the task increased again.

To be honest, as the top center currently in service, Robinson's skills are very comprehensive.

He has strength, can attack the basket, has a shooting percentage, and can shoot from the outside and from mid-range. He is 2.16 tall but very flexible with his feet. It is difficult for a center like this who can play both inside and outside to defend himself alone, let alone ...Robinson was in good shape this game, with 2 points, 1 rebound, and 2 blocks in the opening game.

…

Next game.

Except for some good open opportunities, Li Shengli rarely takes any shots.

One thing to say, regardless of other circumstances, it is more practical for Malone to play Antoine Carr alone than to play Robinson alone, so he focused on guarding Robinson, and players on both sides of the Jazz and Spurs felt that they were in the penalty area. A hint of...the burnt smell of muscle friction.

Anxious!

The air on the field is getting anxious!

On the defensive end, Li Shengli followed him like a shadow. Even if Robinson's footsteps were nimble, his footsteps would not give way to each other. The two of them quarreled with each other's muscles...

Robinson wanted to hit him from behind, but Li Shengli shouldered it fiercely. His muscles made a crunching sound. The two brothers stood still, and no one could even think of taking a step forward.

Robinson wanted to pull out the shot, and Li Shengli stepped up to follow him. No matter where he was pulled, there was Li Shengli wherever there was Robinson. However, Antoine Carr couldn't help, and Li Shengli gave him a nasty kick when he came up. .

What is this kid doing?

I have a grudge against you?

Robinson was very angry because Li Shengli's defense was too tight. He forced a shot and was blocked by Li Shengli. He passed the ball to his teammate Antoine. Antoine was even worse... a volleyball block was slapped away by Li Shengli.

Although Robinson was usually a gentle person, he was very annoyed after several rounds of competition.

You won't let me pass?

Damn it, then everyone should leave!

The furious Robinson also stared at Li Shengli during the Jazz's offensive round, taking the muscle collision to the extreme. Regardless of whether there was a ball or not, the two of them just bumped into each other for position.

No one can help the two people who got angry. No matter who you are, if you get involved in the confrontation between the centers, you will get a burst of madness. What's worse... In this game, the penalty areas of both sides have been completely blocked.

Except for Li Shengli and Malone on the Jazz side, and Robinson and Antoine on the Spurs, whoever holds the ball in the penalty area is finished. No matter who it is, they will be beaten violently when they rush in.

Robinson slapped Tyrone on the breakthrough?

Li Shengli returned the blow on Antoine's face, and Antoine's face was almost swollen.

As long as Robinson blocked one, Li Shengli had to return one, maintaining a high-intensity confrontation. It was difficult for both of them to take shots, and it was also difficult for others to take shots in the penalty area.

As for rebounding, which is even better...

Generally speaking, the rebound data of inside players is definitely higher than that of outside players, but this does not mean that outside players do not have rebound data. After all, even point guards like Stockton who wander outside can average 3 per game. Backboard.

But this one is different.

Because of the collision between Li Shengli and Robinson, the two power forwards Malone and Antoine also became energetic, and the entire inside line became a meat grinding area. No matter where the rebound landed, there would always be four big men piled below, jumping It's a confrontation, making every rebound a head-to-head and real hit.

It is worth mentioning that... after Stockton made a shot, the prick-eared Elf Freiheis was very active in order to keep his starting position. He quickly rushed to the basket to help fight for rebounds. However, the result was tragic... He was beaten by four players. A group of big men surrounded him.

Five people competing for a rebound?

This scene was very rare, and Ferhenris was miserable. He was surrounded by muscles that dazzled him. He was hit no matter how many times. After landing, he held his head and rushed out of the encirclement.

…

The restricted area exploded!

The two centers are soaring!

The atmosphere of fierce confrontation quickly spread to the teams on both sides, and collisions began at various positions. If there were muscles, they would collide with muscles, and if there were no muscles, they would collide with bones.

On the outside of the Spurs, Dale Ellis has a good touch. At least he is better than the Jazz's Fenghenris, and he has an advantage on the outside.

On the Jazz side, the outside line was slightly at a disadvantage, but the internal confrontation was in good shape. Malone, as the core, beat Antoine hard, leaving him with no temper.

As for the confrontation between Li Shengli and Robinson, it is the craziest thing. They are entangled all the time. They defend with the ball and get stuck without the ball.

Don't say that top centers will not choose to go forward and defend in a confrontation. That is purely a lack of fire. And this time... Li Shengli wanted to suppress Robinson and give Crotty a chance to play. Naturally, Robinson didn't want to give a rookie a kick. On the face, I will fuck you the same way you do to me.

The two of them refused to submit to the other, and they would do it if they resisted.

Until the end of the first quarter, even the home fans at the Alamodome did not believe the statistics of their core starting center Robinson... 4 points, 8 rebounds, and 4 blocks.

The data on rebounds and blocks are amazing. You must know that Robinson averaged 11.7 rebounds and 3.2 blocks per game this season. In just one quarter, these two statistics are close to the game average.

As for the scoring, apart from the first dunk, the remaining 2 points were obtained by 2 of 4 free throws. A total of 4 points, 1 of 5 shots, which is simply incomparable with rebounds and blocks.

1 out of 5?

Is this Robinson?

No one could believe that Robinson would be defended to this extent by Li Shengli, and he was also blocked. Of course... Li Shengli's score was just as bad, or even worse, 2 points, 9 rebounds, 3 blocks, plus 1 assists.

Although the score was a little bleak, the two shared most of the rebounds and all the blocks in this game. And because the two were fighting each other, the confrontation between the two sides in the first quarter was so fierce that the shooting percentages were greatly improved. Below normal levels.

…

The first quarter is over.

Robinson had a cold face, and his kind temper did not mean that he had no temper. Although he got 8 rebounds and 4 blocks in the first quarter, Li Shengli did not give up 9 rebounds and 3 blocks. What really made him angry was... he actually got in front of Li Shengli. Defensively, they only scored 4 points in the first quarter.

He made 1 of 5 shots and 2 of 4 free throws. His hand was extremely poor, but he believed that as long as his hand warmed up in the second quarter, it would not be a big problem to beat Li Shengli. It would depend on his condition to score 20 points, but it would definitely be easy to score more than 10 points.

At the same time, Li Shengli also frowned.

Robinson had already scored 4 points. Because Jerry Sloan required single-digit scoring, Robinson could only score 5 points in the second quarter, not even 6 points, otherwise his desperate efforts in the first quarter would be in vain.

5 points!

Only 5 points left!

Although Robinson felt bad under his own defense in the first quarter, who can guarantee that it will be the same in the second quarter? So Li Shengli felt that he had to hold on to Robinson even if he gritted his teeth. Throughout the second quarter... he couldn't relax for a moment, because the number of 5 points was still too small.

Just score two and get a few more free throws!

The efforts in the first quarter fell short.
