Chapter 251 Why Do You Keep Getting Beaten?

The regular season is proceeding in an orderly manner. Although the strong teams are still strong, starting from the sixth game, a watershed occurred.

First, here in the west...

Of course there is no problem for the Jazz. They played the Heat in Game 6 and were ahead by 20 points. Li Shengli scored a triple-double of 25 points + 18 rebounds + 10 assists in this game. Such data is still quite good. But it is not surprising. After all, when multiple giants join forces, personal data will definitely be sacrificed.

It's different from Jazz.

The Spurs recruited Rodman, but Rodman was good at defense and rebounding, which did not affect General Robinson's statistics. On the contrary, it greatly liberated his offensive power. He scored 47 points in one game and also won the third game. Six battles.

As for the Rockets and SuperSonics, both were defeated in Game 6 and failed to continue their 6-game winning streak.

And over there in the east...

The Bulls' lineup did not strengthen the inside line in the offseason as Jordan originally said. It is uncertain whether it will be strengthened later, but Lao Wang's background is still there. Under the triangle offensive tactical system, Jordan is far better than last season. Vigorous and full of energy, he wanted to avenge the Jazz, and he naturally won the sixth game. In the six games, Jordan averaged an astonishing 40 points per game.

Unlike the Bulls, the Magic, a new and powerful team, did not have that much foundation. They lost in Game 6, ending their losing streak.

As for the Knicks...

Although Game 6 has not yet been played, the opponent is the Timberwolves. The outside world has also calculated that the Knicks have won 6 consecutive games in advance and have been integrated into the strongest teams this season. They have become one of the hopes of defeating the new king Jazz. .

…

At this point, the watershed of the sixth battle is here.

The Jazz, Spurs, Bulls, and Knicks, two teams each from the east and west, have reached the first echelon in one fell swoop, while the Rockets, SuperSonics, and Magic are in the second echelon.

However, the regular season has just begun. Being fat first does not count. Who can gain weight in the end is the key. And the Knicks have not played Game 6 yet. Whether they will stay in the first tier or slip to the second tier, it all depends. A battle with the Timberwolves.

The Knicks want to win, after all, they don't want to fall behind.

The Timberwolves don't want to lose. If they lose again, they will kneel down for 7 consecutive games.

With this emotion, the two parties finally met, but Li Shengli was not in the mood to care about it for the time being, because the last two games were the Jazz's home games, so he and his teammates were still in Salt Lake City. After training during the day, they would return home in the evening. Go to your accommodation and rest.

…

Although Li Shengli has purchased real estate in Greenville, it is not available in Salt Lake City. He is still renting the original townhouse. Crotty, the No. 1 younger brother, is still living here temporarily. However, Ma Qiangdong is not here, so Thompson I was transferred back to cook for the big boss at the middle-aged and elderly activity center.

After training, just when he got home, Li Shengli's phone rang, and the strange thing was... the caller was actually O'Neal.

"Li, I have bad news to inform you!" O'Neal on the other end of the phone was serious, and this bad news made Li Shengli suddenly frown.

What bad news could there be?

The Jazz were now in full swing, and no one could stop them. As for the Magic's start, which was pretty good, he really couldn't figure out... what kind of bad news would make O'Neal, a normally cheerful person, so serious.

"Mo Ning... was beaten!"

"Damn it, what do you mean being beaten?" Li Shengli was stunned for a moment, "Is this guy injured? When did it happen?"

"Didn't you watch the news? Today is the Knicks' game against the Timberwolves..." O'Neal took a breath and repeated the story exactly.

Because the Jazz came to the throne, the direction of the entire league has changed. Not only the Bulls, who failed to defend their title, but also every company is working hard. After the Jazz, Bulls, and Spurs have successively won 6 games in a row, the Knicks are obviously the winner. If you can't sit still, you should take action from the Timberwolves and join the first echelon.

However, if the Timberwolves led by Mourning lose again, it will be a 7-game losing streak. In this game, the entire Timberwolves team broke out and unexpectedly kept beating the Knicks, with the score staying at 4 points.

Until the end of the game, Mourning, as the important firepower of the Timberwolves, scored 28 points and 13 rebounds in three quarters, steadily suppressing Ewing's 18 points and 8 rebounds, and the fuse was here... Mourning was really He didn't want to lose, so he beat him harder and harder, and Ewing didn't want to be ridden by a second-year kid, so he beat him harder and harder.

However, unlike the Timberwolves, the Knicks have an old oak named Charles Oakley inside.

He was Jordan's gold-medal bodyguard at the time and fought more than he played ball. Now the insider teamed up with Ewing is also notorious. He doesn't mind turning the game into a boxing championship. Just when the two sides are at war with each other...

The matchup between Mourning and Ewing finally came into conflict. Ewing pushed Mourning first. Of course, Mourning couldn't suffer. The two started fighting first. Then Oakley joined the team and played a doubles with Ewing against Mourning, but Mourning failed. The Timberwolves teammates just kept fighting, and no one participated in the battle.

What a disaster!

Mourning was really beaten badly by Ewing and Oakley!

It stands to reason that it is not uncommon for conflicts to occur on the playing field, but what is rare is that the Timberwolves at this time do not have a trace of wolfishness, they just keep fighting, and even help, which makes Mourning suffer enough, and Oakley's last Ji Lao's fist hit him in the face, knocking him to the ground and causing his nose to bleed like a fountain.

Naturally, he was sent off for fighting, but for the Timberwolves, without Mourning, his life would be dead.

In the end, while coach Lowe cursed several players for being cowards and not protecting Mourning, the Timberwolves knelt in New York. The game was lost, the core of the team was beaten, and Minnesota entered the cold winter early!

…

"Damn, what do the people of the Timberwolves do for food?" Li Shengli was so angry that he had a headache. Although it was just O'Neal's retelling, he could also understand Mourning's desolate and helpless mood at that time.

There's just one thing that's really heartbreaking... For now, Mourning rarely appears in the media. The only times he made headlines were because of being beaten. The first time was by Larry of the Hornets. -Johnson was beaten violently, and this time it was even worse, being beaten by Ewing and Oakley.

You said you... why do you always suffer from being beaten by others? Why can't we take the initiative to hit others?

Although we do not advocate violence on the court, this is the general trend in the league now. If you are not tough and ruthless, you will still suffer.

Thinking of this, Li Shengli and O'Neal both felt sorry for Mourning's experience. It wasn't that Mourning wasn't strong enough, and both of them knew his body well, but... without anyone to help, they really couldn't stand up to someone else's doubles.

"When will the Jazz play the Knicks game?" Without saying anything else, O'Neal remained serious.

"It seems to be the 22nd. We are playing away from home." Li Shengli thought for a moment and replied.

"Is it such a coincidence? I'm on the 20th, and it's also an away game. I'm playing in front of you!" O'Neal's tone became excited, "Okay, let those two bastards clean their butts and wait, Shaq's father is coming! I want to tell the entire league that no one can bully our people. I have to let them suffer the same loss as Mourning!"

The Knicks played the Timberwolves on the 13th in Game 6, the Magic on the 20th in Game 9, and the Jazz in Game 10 on the 22nd, two consecutive home games.

I don't know why this arrangement is so weird, but it is the fact. The Magic beat the Knicks earlier than the Jazz, and O'Neal obviously mustered up all his energy to avenge Mourning.

…

Hang up the phone.

Li Shengli frowned, lying on the sofa in the living room, thinking carefully about the feasibility of this matter.

Needless to say, what kind of strength Ewing is, he is definitely a top-level center, and the old Oakley... this guy let’s not talk about other things, the old New York ghost with a tough body is definitely a terrifying presence in the inside. O’Neal wants to give Mo Ning takes the lead, maybe his magic power is not enough, right?

You may not be able to win the game, and if the situation worsens, you may not be able to win the fight. And O'Neal... this guy won't be beaten by the Knicks, right? !
