Chapter 204 Order of No. 33

The timeout was short and both sides returned to the court.

The Jazz attacked first, and Stockton advanced with the ball.

Although the SuperSonics pressed the whole court, Stockton still brought it to the frontcourt well, and because they had to shorten the opponent's attack time, the Jazz could not rush their shots.

The ball was passed back and forth several times, but there were no near misses and no interceptions. It was not handed over to Li Shengli until the last 10 seconds of the attack time. At the same time, others ran wildly, dragging down the opponent's defensive line. Waiting for the next emergency situation to be dealt with.

Beating Perkins from behind?

A skinny camel is bigger than a horse. Even if Li Shengli's physical strength is at the bottom, Perkins is only qualified to compete slightly. However, after Li Shengli gently shakes Perkins away with his foot, Kemp swoops in just as he is about to take action. .

At this point, both sides were working hard, but Li Shengli was not surprised when he saw Kemp rushing over. On the contrary, it was expected, and he violently lobbed the ball to David Bennot on the other side for execution. Last shot.

Seriously speaking, Li Shengli and David Benoit are just ordinary teammates, and there is no trust. However, it is the most reasonable to give this ball to him. The risk of Li Shengli's forceful play is still greater than that of David Benoit. Knott.

David Benoit also has a shooting percentage of 47%+ this season. Although it is not high, although there is McMillan who is nearby from the SuperSonics to quickly cover up the defense, but with his height of 2.03 meters, he cannot face someone shorter than him. For opponents, mid-range shooting is not a problem at all.

"Vote!"

"Take action quickly!"

"Come in, come in!"

The Jazz Legion roared again and again, and David Benoit naturally did not dare to wait any longer and took action in front of McMillan!

Boom!

There was a soft sound and Benoit struck the iron.

In an instant, the Seattle Center Arena was boiling, because the Jazz took 22 seconds for this round, and the SuperSonics had 14 seconds left and found a chance to win.

…

In the cheers of the home fans, the SuperSonics blew the counterattack horn, and the problem was handed over to the Jazz.

No one had time to regret the missed shot. The entire Jazz team quickly pressed the whole court to mark the target. Li Shengli ran wildly and rushed to the backcourt to sit in the penalty area.

There was not much time left for the Sonics. When advancing to the frontcourt, there was only 10 seconds left. With man-to-man marking on the outside, it was too difficult to take a shot and hit the ball under this kind of defense, so the ball was thrown away directly. Gave it to Kemp.

Facing David Benoit, Kemp is definitely the most stable offensive point, and Benoit... missed the final shot. If Kemp scores this goal again, he himself will be embarrassed.

Benoit is crazy, and Kemp is crazy.

One is the substitute for the Jazz, and the other is the starting power forward of the SuperSonics. The two are not in the same level of strength, but Benoit's desperate efforts still led to a stalemate with Kemp for a while, and Kemp used his footsteps to start the class. After Knott, he took the shot in the last 4 seconds.

Kemp wants to take action?

Li Shengli immediately jumped out.

At this moment, the tension between both parties reached its peak.

Everyone on the Jazz bench stood up and roared. If this goal was scored, the Jazz would be defeated. Although the score was 2:1, it was not good news.

The Sonics are even crazier. Unlike the Jazz, they have no way out. The substitutes clenched their fists, waved towels, and their faces turned red, looking forward to beating the Jazz!

As for everyone on the field except Li Shengli and Kemp, they were in a panic. The victory or defeat all depended on this goal.

"F*ck, kill them!"

"Damn! Damn! Come in, you must come in!"

"Come in, kill him!"

"Li, come on!"

…

The two people in the air had no time to care. Kemp still had a slight advantage and took action early, but Li Shengli really used his last strength to jump to block it. He didn't need much, even his fingertips could reach the bottom of the ball and change it. Ball trajectory is enough!

hiss!

An inadvertent soft sound touched everyone's nerves, and Li Shengli could clearly feel that his fingertips had touched the ball, forcibly changing the trajectory of the ball.

call out!

The ball broke through the wind, crossed the backboard and rushed towards the audience, with less than 3 seconds left on the clock.

At this moment, the entire stadium was completely silent. Only the cheers of the Jazz Legion hurt the hearts of the nearly 20,000 fans here. However, there was still a glimmer of hope for the SuperSonics. After all, a three-second victory was not impossible.

Serve again!

However, the miracle did not happen. Before the ball transmitted by the SuperSonics had time to take action, Stockton completed another steal after Li Shengli's fingertip hat and held the ball in his arms, completely smothering the SuperSonics' last hope. .

The score between the two sides was 99:98.

In the first round, the Jazz swept the SuperSonics 3:0.

Li Shengli scored 24 points, 17 rebounds, 3 assists, and 5 blocks. Malone also scored 16 points, 8 rebounds, and 4 assists despite insufficient playing time due to foul problems. Stockton, who made the key steal in the end, 10 points, 2 rebounds, 15 assists, 3 steals.

The Limas trio led the team and advanced to the second round after the Eastern Bulls!

At this time, the Jazz Legion had already rushed onto the court, excited and uncontrollable amid the wailing of the opponent's home court, carrying Li Shengli and Stockton in a crazy circle.

Jerry Sloan sat comfortably in his chair without moving, with an expression of excitement but a little indifference on his face, scanning the audience...

The playoffs are a battle to conquer the city!

Seattle has fallen at the feet of the Jazz.

It’s not certain where the next location will be, but the Jazz Legion, which is at its peak in history, doesn’t care too much. What he cares about is what kind of scenery he will see after reaching the top and overlooking the entire league?

…

After the game, Jerry Sloan took the starting five to a press conference.

The Jazz were naturally happy to advance to the second round, but this game...if it hadn't been for the sudden change in the direction of the whistle in the third quarter, it would never have been so difficult, but Jerry Sloan was sensible and didn't mention it.

After all, things are changing, and this situation may happen more or less at any home court. Besides, the Sonics are already in trouble. There is no need to mention it or not. What they should be more concerned about is their opponents in the second round. !

According to the schedule, the Jazz's opponents in the second round will be the winner between the Rockets and Clippers.

Although the Rockets currently have a big score of 2:1, it does not mean that they will definitely advance. It also depends on the performance of the Clippers. Even if the Rockets rank second in the Western Conference in the regular season, everyone knows... The playoff rollover incident is also Quite a few, the results cannot be determined.

Fortunately, the second round is scheduled for May 10th, so the Jazz have a small week to repair and observe the opponent's movements.

…

"Victory in three games, Salt Lake City ushered in the most dazzling dawn in history!" 》

"The greatest Jazz team in history is coming, the biggest favorite in the Western Conference Finals!" 》

"The two evils are gone, the newly promoted Limas team will lead the team to charge into the playoffs!" 》

As the first team in the Western Conference to advance, the news newspapers after the game have been working overtime and covering the United States. What is interesting is a cartoon picture published in major media.

The one on the left of the picture is Li Shengli, and the one on the right is Ma Long. They are grinning and hunched over. Not to mention whether the painting is good-looking or not, it is just awkward to see the butts touching each other.

Written on Li Shengli's head is a jersey number and a word taken from Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's live broadcast discussion, 33 Order; while Malone's head is written with his jersey number and nickname, 32 Postman!

Of course, Stockton is also indispensable.

Above where the two men's buttocks were connected, Stockton had a row of bullets straddling his body, with General 12 above his head.

33 Order, 32 Postman, 12 General, the trio of Limas joined forces to land in the playoffs for the first time, stirring up trouble.
