Chapter 216 The Invincible Biggest Pig in the Universe

The game continues.

The Jazz are back on track, but the Suns have been knocked off track by Li Shengli alone at their home court.

In terms of offense, Li Shengli rode in Mark West's face and took over half of the Jazz's shots, but his hit rate reached an astonishing level.

What's even more terrible is that the plan adopted by the Suns to double-team Li Shengli is not very effective. After all, Malone, who is eyeing the other side, is not a vegetarian. Unless they can limit Li Shengli's passing of the ball or steal from him, Malone will be Jazz's second cannon.

As for defense.

The Phoenix Trident suffered an aerial attack, while the Salt Lake City Big Three, just one Li Shengli completely broke them apart.

According to the previous rhythm of the game, Barkley and Marley are responsible for charging, and Kevin Johnson is responsible for threading the needle and occasionally breaking through the charge.

But now... the defensive gates set up by Li Shengli and Malone completely locked up the penalty area with one gate. The no-fly zone is an understatement, and the Suns' ground attack was strangled to death. No one can carry it. Li Shengli squeezed into the penalty area.

In the first quarter, the Suns were beaten badly.

Fortunately, in addition to charging and attacking, the Phoenix Trident can also shoot from a distance. With the cooperation of the whole team, the situation is not too ugly.

It is worth mentioning that starting from the first referee who was removed, the scale of the starting penalty suddenly shrank. The Suns took 10 free throws and made all 10 free throws. On the other hand, the Jazz only made 6 free throws. 3.

Malone made 2 of 2 free throws and Li Shengli made 1 of 4 free throws.

The home court is the home court. As soon as Li Shengli steps to the free throw line, American West Arena will burst into boos. The home fans who are facing each other go even further. They take out a lot of colorful gadgets and even play shirtless. He even took off his pants and wiggled his butt wildly at Li Shengli.

If it interferes with away players' free throws, as long as it's not too much, the staff will turn a blind eye. As for Li Shengli... it's not that he has never been interfered by home fans, but he was so wild that he took off his pants and twisted his butt. This was the first time this distracted him.

He even suspected for a while that... the butt man in the audience was Buckley's brother. After all, such a strong butt was rare.

…

The score in the first quarter was 30:21.

The Jazz led by 9 points. If it weren't for free throws and if it weren't for the Trident supporting the field, the Suns would have exploded even more fiercely in the first quarter. Li Shengli scored 16 points, 10 rebounds, 3 assists, and 4 blocks.

It would be a lie to say that he is not panicking. Suns head coach Paul is panicking at this time.

Not to mention him as the head coach, even the fans can see that if the Suns cannot suppress Li Shengli, their defeat in the first game of the Western Conference Finals will basically be set. Fortunately, Paul also saw hope from the first quarter... That was Li Shengli's free throw.

With a free throw shooting rate of 70%+ in the regular season, Li Shengli did not suffer as a first-line center, but in this game... no matter what the reason was, it was an indisputable fact that he made 1 out of 4 free throws.

Speaking of which, foul tactics are not just for centers, but for all players with poor free throws but amazing lethality. Obviously, Li Shengli has met these conditions in this game.

Consecutive intentional foul strategy?

This defensive tactic has a long history, commonly known as the man-killing tactic. It is usually used to chase points near the end of the game, but at this time the Suns have reached a dead end and have to use it in advance.

However, the tactics used in this game are still a little different.

You know, there are still three quarters left in the game, and an uncontrolled off-ball foul on Li Shengli is definitely a retarded act. After all, the number of fouls each player has to bear is limited. If you mess around, you can only draw your own main players into fouls. mud.

So Paul’s decision was…

On the offensive end, arrange the Trident to launch a death charge against Li Shengli, mainly committing offenses and supplementing by attacking, and share the same hatred with the home referee!

On the defensive end, as long as Li Shengli makes a move, he should be pulled down immediately. This is Mark West's only role. He uses his foul in exchange for Li Shengli's free throw, and there is a large number of human shields at the back waiting to come on and contribute his own. Number of fouls.

Three veterans, plus a center who commits fouls regardless of the cost, still can't defeat you, Li Shengli, who is a fool?

Paul believes...as long as Li Shengli's free throws are unstable, and as long as the Phoenix Trident shows off its power and stabilizes the offense, the Suns will definitely be able to recover the point difference!

…

So we fought again in the second quarter.

The Jazz's main players were not replaced. After all, they had only played one quarter, so physical fitness was not an issue. However, the Suns replaced Mark West and replaced him with rookie Oliver Miller.

Oliver Miller was drafted in the same draft as Li Shengli. He was picked 22nd in the first round and played for the Suns. He served as a backup center. His height of 2.06 meters is nothing, but his weight of 140 kilograms is his biggest weapon. Even at this weight There is also a growing trend.

140 kilograms is already scary, but that’s 280 kilograms!

However, Oliver Miller is only 2.06 meters tall. In terms of density per unit of height, few people can compete with him.

Paul's idea is very simple. A foul is a foul, and confrontation must consume physical energy.

Miller's weight is his asset against Li Shengli. A dark, fat center is stuck under the basket. No matter how wild Li Shengli is, if he wants to beat Miller, he will spend more energy than Mark before.

…

Since the opening jump ball belonged to the Jazz, the Suns took the lead in the second quarter.

"Brother, you're dead!" Miller stood outside the penalty area. Li Shengli took a step away and stared at the movements of the Suns ball-carrying players. When he heard Miller's words, he was also stunned.

I am dead?

Do you have a brain dysfunction?

This is what a substitute with the 22nd pick in the first round should say to the second pick in the starting lineup?

"Is there something wrong with you?"

"My fur is not sick!"

"Damn it, you're crazy!" Li Shengli choked on this guy and hiccupped.

The Suns have two pigs. Of course, this pig is not derogatory. One is Barkley, the flying pig, and the other is Fat Miller, and he has a smelly and long nickname...the most invincible fat pig in the universe.

At this time, Marly followed Barkley's pick-and-roll, and the two went hand in hand and rushed into the penalty area.

Li Shengli wanted to jump out to defend, but Fat Miller stretched out his arms and thrust his butt back with all his strength. As they collided with each other, Li Shengli was thrown off his center of gravity as soon as he took off and fell on top of Fat Miller...

At the same time, Marley and Barkley both scored, and Barkley, the Flying Pig, dunked a goal, igniting the audience. However, the referee still did not blow the whistle. After that, Fat Pig got up and high-fived the Flying Pig.

…

"Li, are you okay?" Although he was hit by someone, Ma Long was really enjoying it.

Because the two people fell together just now, Fat Miller was pushed down, kneeling on his knees, with his butt raised, and Li Shengli was riding on top. The whole position was extremely...weird.

"Go, go, go, I'm going to beat this crazy, fat pig to death!" Of course Li Shengli knew what Ma Long meant, and his old face turned red.

"This is okay, but you must remember to change your posture. Otherwise..."

"Stop talking nonsense and do it with me!"

"Then I will accompany you...to kill a pig once."

…

Although Paul deployed tactics against Li Shengli, if Fat Miller succeeded in disrupting the Suns' attack and could ensure a score, there was certainly no need to get entangled with Li Shengli.

As for the Suns' real tactical arrangement, the effect will have to be seen later.
