Chapter 282 The Strange Aunt

On the evening of the 28th, the Charlotte Hornets VS Utah Jazz game started.

The Hornets are currently ranked sixth in the Eastern Conference with a good record. If they are stable, they will also be a playoff team. The starting lineup is not very strong in terms of internal and external offense, but it is successful at both sides. After the two sides came on the stage, Boggs looked at Li Shengli, Smiling like a fool, at least that's what Curry thinks.

…

There is no need to say more about the Jazz's starting lineup.

For the Hornets, starting center Mike Gominski, power forward Larry Johnson, small forward John Newman, point guard Bogues, and shooting guard Jeff Malone.

Since Li Shengli left Charlotte, coach Alan cried day and night, because there is really no use for the center position, and the well-known toilet paper insider Gominski is temporarily holding the starting center position. The other positions are the same as when Li Shengli was with the Hornets. , the only difference is Jeff Malone at shooting guard.

As for Curry, he is still the Hornets' first bench.

…

Jump ball at midfield.

Gominski's face was very stiff. After all, he was facing off against the big brother Li Shengli. It was impossible without a lot of psychological pressure. But when the referee threw the ball, this guy didn't even jump. He gave up and ran back. The field defense was gone, leaving Li Shengli in a trap.

…

Jazz attack.

Bond advances with the ball. He is naturally far inferior to Stockton in all aspects as a point guard, but Jerry Sloan has no choice but to let him take the lead. In this game against Bogues, to be honest Bond still has a slight advantage. His speed is not slow, and his shooting height is high enough, at least for Boggs.

Li Shengli ran to the penalty area on the left side. After a high pick-and-roll, Malone received the ball from Bond. He turned his back and shook off Larry Johnson, easily scoring the first goal.

Although it was only the first goal, Larry Johnson's face was still very bad. After all, he was unhappy with everyone on the Jazz side. Needless to say, Li Shengli was definitely the number one enemy. As for Crotty... the nickname "Madman" came from him. There is no reason not to hate what he got on his body, and this debt was mostly recorded on Li Shengli's head.

"What are you looking at? You seem to be very unconvinced?" Knowing the grievances between Li Shengli and his aunt, and now Li Mas and the trio, Malone naturally has no need to be polite to Larry Johnson, "You have to hold it back if you are angry. , don’t even think about running wild on our territory!”

Bullying?

It's too much of a bully!

I haven't done anything yet, so I'm going to squirt right away?

Larry Johnson is definitely not a brainless black player. Faced with Malone's provocation, although he felt depressed, he knew he couldn't be angry. After all, he was so angry at the beginning that the rest of the game was basically unplayable. The hatred forged here will end on another battlefield, because... Ewing has already found him, and more importantly, the camp he joined is unprecedentedly powerful.

…

The entire first quarter of this game was tepid, far less explosive than the previous games, because there were familiar faces on both sides.

Jeff Malone is the player sent away by the Jazz. There is no need for Crotty to go crazy and kill him. Bogues and Newman are all former teammates of Li Shengli. Bond and Tyrone are not as strong defensively as before.

It's the inside side.

Gominski was completely destroyed by Li Shengli in all directions. Who knows the result, and Malone's confrontation with Johnson became the only high point in the tepid rhythm.

Larry Johnson averaged 22.1 points and 10.5 rebounds per game last season. Counting his rookie season, he averaged a double-double for two consecutive seasons. But since he met Li Shengli... Whether he was beaten up by Li Shengli before leaving the team, the All-Star was Li Shengli led people to beat him until he became autistic, and Crotty stepped on his head in that battle. These all had a huge psychological impact on him.

In addition, Jeff Malone took away a lot of the ball after joining. After half the season, Larry Johnson averaged only 16 points and 8.5 rebounds per game. He fell slightly behind the original first-line power forward team. In this game, Malone was even more pressured and beaten. He took 5 shots in the first quarter but only hit 2 of them.

If it weren't for Jeff Malone who was very comfortable on the outside, the Hornets' score in the first quarter would not have been behind the Jazz, falling behind by only 2 points.

…

In the second quarter, the Jazz's offensive and defensive intensity remained the same. Larry Johnson took fewer shots and took the initiative to reduce his presence despite knowing that he was in poor condition. Malone seemed to have punched cotton, no matter how hard he took it. Lee Johnson couldn't see any fluctuation in this guy's face, but there was a glint of unknown meaning in his eyes.

In this section, the Hornets' rhythm began to break down a bit.

Although Jeff Malone is still the strong firepower of the Hornets, Li Shengli faced Gominsky, taking all the shots in the penalty area, and the offense was simply a crushing attack. He and Malone teamed up to capture most of the rebounds, and Malone did not have too many rebounds. There was a lot of resistance and the game was quite easy, widening the point difference by 12 points.

…

Feeling a little weird?

During the halftime break, Li Shengli and Malone exchanged a look. The others were fine and played quite well, but all the weirdness came from Larry Johnson.

Everyone is eating out of the NBA, so it’s not necessarily true that anyone is afraid of the other. After all, if you dare to do evil things to me, I will dare to flirt with you. Whoever is a coward is like a grandson.

However... in the face of Malone's opening provocation, Larry Johnson remained silent and took the initiative to reduce his presence. It was really unreasonable. However, Li Shengli knew this guy's character and would definitely not be willing to suffer losses, nor was he David. -Robinson is a gentleman player.

"What is this guy thinking?" Ma Long scratched his head.

"I don't know, but I feel like there must be bad water in his stomach." Li Shengli was also puzzled.

"Tsk... Ignore him. If he really gives in, forget it. Our Jazz has always been a moral model team in the league."

Moral model team?

Who made up this nonsense? What the hell?

Li Shengli rolled his eyes at Malone, because Jazz really has nothing to do with moral standards, but is like a thorn in the side. The opponent must play well, the Jazz is cleaner than anyone else, this game is an example, and if the opponent makes a mistake, the Jazz will definitely More muddy.

…

Fight again in the third quarter.

Jerry Sloan asked Felton to replace Li Shengli. This was the same as in the previous game. After establishing the inside advantage, Sloan would stagger Li Shengli and Malone's playing time to give them enough rest. After all, every game Even an Ironman can't bear to play for more than 40 minutes, so if you encounter a weak opponent and you are guaranteed to win, it's not a big problem to relax a little.

On the other hand, for the Hornets, Alan also replaced Larry Johnson, along with Gominski, and replaced him with substitute center Tim Campton and substitute power forward Kenny Gadison.

The pace of the game in the third quarter was brisk and clear.

On the Jazz's inside line, although Li Shengli was not present, Malone still maintained a relatively strong posture, leading Felton to continue to suppress the Hornets, while on the Hornets' outside line... Jerry Sloan was afraid of overturning, so he asked Crotty to add a bit. With the force, Jeff Malone's touch suddenly faltered, and his hit was far less accurate than before.

At this point, the point difference between the two sides continued to expand to 20 points.

…

The overall situation has been decided.

Jerry Sloan seemed very happy because the Jazz had won 20 consecutive games and there was no reason to chase after others, so he still didn't let Li Shengli play and even pulled Malone down to give the Hornets some breathing room. Chance.

Li can't come?

This horse riding plot is wrong!

As soon as the fourth quarter started, Bogues was sweating anxiously. He looked at the Jazz dugout with eyes wide open. He took a moment to sneak to the sidelines and winked at Li Shengli and made gestures. Not to mention the players in the Jazz dugout, they were all the spectators watching. Liang, all guessing about the... love story between the two men?

In this situation, no one would believe him if he had no story, and Li Shengli couldn't stand Bogues anymore, so he took the initiative to ask Jerry Sloan to log on to the battlefield in the fourth quarter and take on the finishing work.
