Chapter 316: Super Slap in the Face, Big Catch, Plus Aerial Pass for Fast Break

Being chased by 8 points in half a quarter?

How could this happen? Aren’t we going to win?

The Nuggets never expected that something would go wrong in the third quarter, and it would be such a big one.

My family knows their own affairs.

If the outside shooting in this game was not extraordinary, but normal, the Jazz should have taken the lead in the first half. However, the outside shooting led by Chris, especially Chris himself, once reached the highest level of his career. Next, the lead they had built in two quarters was wiped out in half a quarter.

You must know that the Jazz's top two inside players played Malone. The Jazz's signature Lee Mars lost two of three. The combination of Li Shengli + Crotty staged a 6-minute counterattack.

Not to mention Crotty, both Jazz coach Sloan and Nuggets coach Iser know... there are many people who can replace Crotty, because he only showed speed and free throw shooting in 6 minutes. There are so many players with these two qualities in the NBA.

However, there are really few people who can replace Li Shengli.

Because Li Shengli showed almost unstoppable dominance in the penalty area, and Li Shengli understood it all too well... If the Jazz's first attack of the round was launched from his point, the shot would delay the time to grab the rebound, and the rebound that could not be scored would not be real. Felton, who is expected to replace Malone, will take over.

Therefore, on the basis of dominating the basket and controlling rebounds, if you want to chase points, it is most economical to shoot from the outside in the first wave of offense, and it is still with three-pointers. If you score, you will be a three-pointer, and if you fail, there will be There is a high probability of a second attack.

It's just that Crotty's hit was a bit embarrassing, otherwise in 6 minutes, the Jazz would not have tied but overtaken. Fortunately, Crotty was relatively stable at the free throw line, which is why Sloan did not replace him. .

Another point is that Sloan originally planned to play half of the third quarter, let Malone come on and Li Shengli come off, staggering the time, but now the situation is very good, he has no reason to interrupt the rhythm, and simply puts the problem on the Nuggets. When the Nuggets called a timeout, Sloan made a prompt decision and formulated a more detailed combat plan for the combination of Li Shengli + Crotty, allowing the other three positions to join the speed-up process.

…

Pause and return to the game.

The Jazz were chasing the score, and the atmosphere at home was explosive. Li Shengli was naturally the focus of the spotlight, and Crotty once again came to the stage, enjoying the envious gazes of all the substitutes of the two teams, and even the fringe players in the league.

To be honest, no one looked down on Crotty during the Jazz's two-year-old era. Even coach Sloan didn't have any hope. Even after he was hired by Li Shengli, most teams and players didn't take him seriously. , because he is really not strong, as mediocre as a speck of dust.

Are you saying that he has a big heart and dares to take action anytime and anywhere?

Absolutely no one is convinced by this point. Except for the free throws he made in 6 minutes, he was like shit. His big heart is a compliment. He is like a blacksmith on horseback. But more people think... Damn, this guy is gone. Shit luck, with a boss like Li Shengli, the boss feeds hard and the coach doesn't complain, who else can replace him without a big heart? Who hasn't taken a free throw yet?

Boss?

Who wouldn't long for such a boss?

Thinking of this, the Nuggets' substitutes looked at the five main players on the field.

Chris is not stable and can't bear the big responsibility; Lafonso is good, but only good; as for Mutombo, he compares people to death and compares goods, which is too far compared with Li Shengli.

Looking at Li Shengli's game records, everyone thinks that this big brother is the administrator of order and data on the field, the kind who can make whoever he wants fatter. Even Malone and Stockton are not the same in this regard. There's no way to compare with him.

"Damn, this guy's so lucky."

"Who says it's not the case? If I were to play, I would definitely play better than Crotty!"

"Don't be envious. Don't look at how this lunatic fought for Li Shengli. He stepped on Larry Johnson's head. He showed his loyalty with his fists."

"You think we don't dare? If you have a chance, you can just let me work for you."

The voices of the substitutes on both sides were surprisingly consistent. Everyone looked at Crotty with envy, even provocation and disdain in their eyes, but Li Shengli didn't even bother to look at them, he just wanted to give Crotty a hand.

What can be expected is... If Crotty still stays with the Jazz, the Jazz will definitely take away his starting position when they trade for outside firepower and wait until Stockton rematches. So the best outcome for Crotty is Follow him and become his number one confidant in the future!

…

Nuggets offense.

After the outside pick-and-roll, it was Reggie Williams who found the opportunity to shoot. Just like the previous round, Li Shengli was pulled to the left by Mutombo. He quickly entered from the right corner. On the one hand, it was a good opportunity. , on the one hand, I also want to prove myself again.

"Felton, stop him!" After Tyrone missed the defense, he urgently called Felton to cover Reggie Williams.

"Damn it, I can't make it in time!" Felton yelled in his heart because his opponent started too fast.

"Get out of the way, let me do it!" Different from the last time, this time Li Shengli was relatively close to the basket, and he took a long stride towards Reggie Williams.

"Shit, this bastard is here again. You can't be blocked. I definitely can't be blocked!" Reggie Williams was very full of inner drama. He was also afraid of really rushing to the basket, so in order to avoid collision, he chose He made an emergency stop to take action, but... the ball was released, but a large black shadow rose into the air and pressed over him.

boom!

Even though the muffled sound was not loud, Reggie Williams still felt like he was struck by lightning, because the rising ball was intercepted by a big hand. He originally thought it would be a volleyball block, but what the hell... what Li Shengli completed was He grabbed the ball and threw the ball directly to the front court while it was still in the air. Crotty, who was well prepared, took the lead, chasing the ball and sprinting wildly to score fast breaks.

…

What...what happened?

Li Shengli's defensive counterattack almost broke the jaws of more than 20,000 people present. Logically speaking, there is nothing surprising about the fast break, but what is really surprising is... Li Shengli's inhuman athletic ability.

You must know that the speed of the brain cannot reflect the next action instantly without preparation, and Li Shengli's brain obviously arranged or simulated an idea in advance to achieve this series of actions. What is really terrifying is... ...The premise of this series of actions is to catch the hat.

Catching the hat is too difficult.

Whether it is the timing or the trajectory of the ball, they are very strict. How confident is it to throw the ball into the frontcourt without looking at anyone in the air? Are you so sure that you can catch the hat?

A super slap in the face, a big block grab, and a quick break with an aerial pass!

The Jazz completed a comeback, and the morale of the players and fans was like a rainbow, while the Nuggets were collectively shut in, and the players on and off the court felt a sense of powerlessness. The fans watching the game did not even see their team being bloody.

…

"We have won!" Sloan breathed a sigh of relief on the court.

"Coach, would you like me to play instead?" Ma Long sat for half a quarter and immediately asked for a fight.

"What, you want to be Li's supporting role?" Sloan glanced at Malone, a capable general, and said, "Believe me, you won't want to go up, because this is Li's performance time for Crotty, and yours Going on the field might interrupt this wonderful rhythm."

"Shit, this guy is so good at stealing the show. Why do you feel like I don't have anything to do in this scene?" Ma Long felt a little complicated.

"No, don't you think you have been stealing his show all along?" Sloan rolled his eyes and made a rare joke, "At the end of the regular season, he did his best to help you score points. King! If you two were to change and you went to help him, do you think anyone could compete with him? Who could compete with him?"

Ma Long was so hurt by Sloan that he almost cursed. His face was full of resentment and he was speechless for a long time.

"Why are you looking at me like this? Do you really think I don't know about your little thoughts?" Sloan sighed, "Li is different from all of you. I know this, and you also know that he fights for himself too much. Too little, too much competition for teammates."

"I can't comment on whether that's good or bad, but there's no doubt about it...that's the shining point of his character, and everyone loves a little guy like that, right? Fortunately, I mean fortunately, he can be there next season. What he is fighting for is all his own. Maybe in the near future, you will see a rising pervert monopolizing the scoring champion, rebounding champion, blocked shot champion, All-Star, regular season, finals MVP, and one defense. Get another DPOY!”

"Damn it!" Malone scolded him immediately, because what Sloan said was so fucked up, "Coach, how old are you this year?"

"What's wrong?"

"Boss, you're not young anymore, you're quite capable of boasting, aren't you?"

"Shut up, don't talk to me like that. I'm the head coach and I have the right to keep you on the bench."

"Whatever you want, you can't even protect yourself, so you know how to show off your power with me here!" Ma Long complained to Sloan directly for the first time, and what seemed like a joke made Sloan's whole state feel like he was struck by lightning. My heart was blocked for no reason.

"Carl! Has anyone ever said you were annoying?"

"Li said it, John also said it, and our opponents..."

"What they said is right, you are really annoying!"
