Chapter 256 You Are a Good Person

The Spurs were a strong team in the Western Conference last season. With David Robinson on the inside, they now have Rodman as a replacement, so they are naturally stronger than before.

However, although they maintained their strength at the beginning of the season, the combat effectiveness shown by the Jazz did not seem to be enough. They were stable in the first half, then collapsed in the third quarter, and the fourth quarter was even more unlucky.

Everyone and every team has to weigh how strong the Jazz are today.

First of all, there are the three giants of Limas. Utah's double evil Malone and Stockton are definitely top players at the All-Star starting level. There is no doubt about their personal strength, and the newly promoted third evil Li Shengli's dominance at the center position is also quite terrifying. .

It can be said that the Jazz starting lineup with the Big Three of Limas as the core, their combat effectiveness is absolutely comparable to that of the All-Star team. Although the players in every All-Star are top-notch, the same thing is... everyone needs to take action, No one wants to be someone else’s green leaf or foil.

However, this problem does not exist in the Jazz.

The crazy Crotty at the shooting guard is Li Shengli's number one supporter. He works hard and is willing to play a supporting role. There are many players that the Jazz can use at small forward, whether it is Tai Long or Ben Knott.

Two role players paired with a Stockton who is keen on assists, two inside thugs Li Shengli and Malone...

Compared with offense, no team in the league can match the Jazz in the interior; compared with defense, the interior is rock solid, and on the outside there are Stockton and Crazy Crotty who like to play in the third lane.

The Jazz's starting lineup has a clear division of labor and is perfect!

If this momentum continues, will the Jazz, who won the championship after half a season, directly sweep the entire league? ! There are a total of 82 games in the long regular season schedule. Will they win 70 or 80 games? !

…

This is something that league officials absolutely cannot tolerate, because they can't find any team that looks like they can compete with the Jazz, not even the Bulls, if they don't have a reinforcement plan this season!

The results are horrific.

Everywhere the Jazz plays, they lose in any city. You are happy in Salt Lake City, but what do you think about the fans in other cities where the teams are located? Is there anything else to watch in this game?

A game that everyone knows will lose, a team that everyone knows will win, maybe even Salt Lake City fans will feel bored if they watch it too much, right?

This is not making a mountain out of a molehill.

You must know that the Jazz still have a lot of salary space, allowing them to firmly grasp Limas's three trump cards. It seems that the only way for other teams to compete is to accumulate a group of super giants to join forces, and teams that have money and are not afraid of spending money Quite a few.

If things continue like this...

Teams across the league are fighting for the championship. Even if there are salary cap restrictions, if there is hope for the championship, who will be short of money to pay the luxury tax? At that time, the NBA had become a naked capital game, with weak teams getting worse and worse. I feared that even the draft, which was designed to balance the strengths of various teams, would become a place for wealthy capitalist teams to train, creating a dichotomy between the strong and the weak. Divided to a terrifying degree.

Of course, this is just a possibility of developments, but league officials cannot help but be wary of this possible butterfly effect.

…

In general, the alliance of multiple giants is a completely undesirable operation plan for the NBA, and it is not Stern's original intention!

Take the Bulls as an example. With the combination of Jordan and Pippen, even if they add a smaller giant, it is no problem to have two big heads and one small head. But the Jazz are different. Three big heads are really big, but they still have a big head. No team can be found to check and balance.

maintain balance!

This is the basic principle of all measures taken after Stern took office!

Absolutely no one is allowed to break the balance. After all, at the end of a season, if there is not much suspense about who will win the championship, there is no need to talk about competition. By then, the popularity of the league will decline and the enthusiasm of the fans will no longer be the same. The argument of more people will definitely be ...NBA? It’s not interesting!

This is too terrible!

This is no fuss!

Fortunately, Stern is still maintaining a wait-and-see attitude and has just prepared a bleeding knife for the Jazz in advance.

In this game, Li Shengli got a quadruple-double, and the Jazz were a little closer to the knife!

This season, the fiercer the Jazz play and the more wins they win, the faster the bleeding time will come!

The sports empire that Stern worked so hard to build is now prospering, and there must never be an existence like the Jazz on this road that may disrupt the balance. Even if it hurts the interests of a small number of people, it must be bled.

…

Back on the field.

Little did the Jazz know that there was a knife hanging over their heads, and from now on in this game... Li Shengli was the only protagonist. Even Malone and Stockton were ready to raise their hands to this brother who had brought them glory. , not to mention Crotty with his fists clenched.

"Thanks, everyone, let's go!" Li Shengli shouted, eager to achieve his second quadruple-double and become the only one in NBA history!

"GO GO GO, I really can't wait."

"Damn, this is just an ordinary regular season game, but... with a kid like you, the game is always so exciting!"

Stockton raised his hands, Malone laughed and cursed. The moment the Jazz's five tigers came on the stage, the entire home court was excited. After all, no one is a fool, everyone knows... Everyone in the Jazz is ready to help Li Shengli hit a quadruple-double, and this is also Apart from the championship, Salt Lake City's Monument of Merit is the most significant one.

The atmosphere at the scene was comparable to that of the finals tiebreaker!

…

The Spurs attack first.

Facing the high-spirited Jazz and trailing by 16 points, there was little hope of a comeback. He was unwilling to give up treatment and was afraid that Li Shengli would be successful even if he wanted to play seriously.

This kind of thing has nothing to do with modesty, so that you can become a supporting role when your opponent goes down in history? !

David Robinson can't do it, and no one from the Spurs can do it. The only way is to be serious and avoid Li Shengli. After all, blocks and steals are two statistics far away from you. Why do you take them? !

Point guard Knight slowly pressed into the frontcourt.

Logically speaking, after falling behind by 16 points in the last quarter, the Spurs had to speed up their pace, but Knight was not in a hurry and passed the ball back and forth outside, while the Jazz's Stockton, Crotty, and Benoit were at full power. , watching every shot.

The pressure continued until there were 4 seconds left in the attack time.

Knight, who was holding the ball, finally launched an attack. It was too difficult to shoot from the outside, and he didn't dare to break into the inside. At this time, he must hug the boss's thigh, and the ball passed into the inside... This was not because he wanted to fulfill Li Shengli's goal, but The Spurs' final counterattack wanted to rely on Robinson to save the situation, but it was not easy for Li Shengli to block Robinson!

At this time, Li Shengli went around wildly, and Robinson fought back.

The two people tensed their muscles and collided. They were in a stalemate. No one could resist the other, and the damn thing was... Lady Luck was smiling. Knight's pass was inaccurate. Li Shengli straightened up, stepped on his feet, and raised his hands high. Easily intercepted the ball!

What the hell?

Knight's face turned green, Robinson's face was ashen, the fans went crazy, and Li Shengli was even more confused, holding the ball in a daze, never expecting that he could get a steal for nothing.

waste!

Rodman was also crazy, but he was so angry that he cursed his teammates Nate and the assists. While everyone was stunned, he immediately swooped to grab the ball from Li Shengli because he was close to the basket. , took off after landing, held the ball with both hands and dunked vigorously, the whole process formed an 'M' shaped trajectory.

idiot!

Robinson's face became even more ugly, because after Rodman took off, Li Shengli also took off, and he had no time to stop him.

boom!

There was a muffled sound.

One more block data!

Li Shengli's chasing cap directly knocked the ball from Rodman's hand. The powerful and heavy shot caused Rodman to lose his center of gravity and lean back. Li Shengli conveniently dragged the guy's head, which was so green that it was dazzling. , did not let him hit the floor, but the scene was very embarrassing. The two met at 69, looking at each other.

"Rodman, you are a good man!"
