Chapter 335 Saving Big Brother Ewing

With one offense and one defense, Li Shengli played a crucial role in the Jazz's counterattack, and this effect spread to the entire third quarter.

To be honest, Ewing's offense would not have been so embarrassing if he distributed the ball earlier, but at the beginning he was a bit taunting Li Shengli. The reason why there were 12 seconds of shame and he was pinned to death by Li Shengli four times in a row was because he Up.

However... in the next attack, he went even further.

Li Shengli's defensive posture changed drastically, and the Knicks could never regain the rhythm of the first half. At least Ewing had no rhythm.

In singles, he can't take advantage of the feel and advantages of the mid-range shot. He can't run out of the way and can't get stuck in the position. Unless he wants the ball in the high post, it's difficult to even get the ball. However, Oakley can't give him much help in this regard.

If the offense doesn't work, why don't we just defend?

But the defense seems to be useless, because Li Shengli and Malone's offensive positions are either high or low, or left or right.

This positioning is similar to the positioning of the twin tower tactics, but there are some differences in the details. Because Li Shengli is fast, the positioning distance will be farther than the conventional twin towers, which greatly stretches the defensive space of Ewing and Oakley.

Malone was the main attacker, and Li Shengli was the supporter. Even if Malone couldn't score, Li Shengli's control of the rebounds under the basket was not comparable to that of Ewing, who was becoming increasingly proficient. And Li Shengli, who grabbed the offensive rebounds under the basket... was to combine the general and The gorilla is not enough to look at when stacked on top of each other. He can dunk with a slight jump under the basket. He can also take off with a little more force from a slightly outside position.

…

Until the end of the third quarter, the situation changed at a terrifying speed, and the home fans who were supposed to cheer for the Jazz just remembered to instinctively gasp because... the rhythm of chasing points was so amazing.

"Oh my God, how many points is it?"

"Damn it, don't you know how to read the scoreboard? The score between the two sides is now 68:68, and the score was 33:15 in this quarter. We recovered 18 points in one quarter, and the Knicks... exploded!"

"I'm asking Ewing, how many points did he score in this quarter?"

"2...no 1 point, only 1 point. He missed all 5 shots and only made 1 of 2 free throws!"

"Where's our Li?"

"Li also only scored 4 points and... and..."

"What are you talking about?"

"I'm thinking now, is there something wrong with the staff at the technical desk? Li actually got 15 rebounds in one quarter? Are you sure this isn't an April Fool's Day joke?"

Almost everyone is asking if this is a joke, because 15 rebounds in a single quarter is really unscientific, which means that Li Shengli almost wrapped up this quarter, and what's even more terrifying is... he almost beat Ewing. He was beaten bald.

The obvious statistics of 1 point and 3 rebounds in a single quarter, no one believed that these were Ewing's single quarter statistics, but the shameful 12 seconds at the beginning of the second half seemed to be a... tainted witness to prove Ewing.

How could he be so perverted?

Is Li Shengli too strong, or is Ewing too weak?

Everyone wants to figure it all out, but it is estimated that no one knows it better than the person involved, Ewing.

At the beginning of the second half, the Knicks' fighting direction was right. What was wrong was Ewing's underestimation of Li Shengli, or the stereotype left by previous encounters. And he could not imagine... that Li Shengli's ability would be so comprehensive and comprehensive. It makes people feel breathless.

He can stay close to guard against mid-range shots, and he has the speed to make up for lost positions. He can be called a mid-range killer. A center who is not flexible enough will have to kneel down when he comes.

His strength will be stuck when he is hit from behind, and his counterattacks are like every knife piercing his weak spot. As far as he is concerned, if he wants to crush Li Shengli in terms of strength and confrontation, it seems that the only way to gain weight and improve confrontation is , you can gain weight...his knee injury doesn't allow it.

Damn it, how can such a freak be punished? !

If David Robinson comes, he will probably have a much better time than him. If Olajuwon comes, the situation should be even better. Why is it that when Ewing comes, he becomes the younger brother and is pushed to the ground and beaten?

Why did you say that Li Shengli was defeated in the first half?

Compared with this quarter, it was a joke, because he only scored 1 point in a single quarter and almost got a clean sheet. The only thing that made him happy was that Li Shengli's offense was not good in this quarter.

However, this is more like his self-comfort, because he knows... If Li Shengli's touch is normal, there is really nothing he can do against him. After all, he is also a winner who has scored 72 points in a single game. Isn't it nonsense to say that he has no offense? ?

…

Back to the game.

It stands to reason that after three quarters, the main players of both sides must at least rotate in order to ensure sufficient physical strength. This is reflected on the outside of both sides, but not at all on the inside. Li Shengli + Malone and Ewing + Oakley are fighting fiercely. For three whole quarters.

Pat Riley saw the Knicks' offensive momentum and wanted to completely paralyze the Jazz in the third quarter, so Ewing and Oakley didn't play. Little did he know that he was paralyzed by the Jazz instead, so the inside duo wanted to play. He can't play anymore. The main player is beaten. Isn't the substitute going to serve as a meal? It would be strange if Li Shengli didn’t kill his substitute!

On the other hand, Jerry Sloan, seeing the situation reversed, naturally had no reason to let Li Shengli and Malone go. The power of the partnership between Li Shengli and Malone was something that even he did not expect.

Carrying it to death!

It must be carried to death!

Even if you die, you have to bear it!

Both sides have this idea, so the four big brothers in the fourth quarter have not been replaced yet.

However, Pat Riley is not a vegetarian. In the last quarter, he let the backcourt players rush inside to relieve Ewing. He did it when he had the chance. He attracted Li Shengli and scored, and the offensive efficiency gradually improved.

If you, Pat Riley, are not vegetarian, do you think I will stop eating meat?

Jerry Sloan immediately pulled the defensive position of the lineup inward, causing a big melee at the edge of the penalty area. Although doing so felt like running to the rhythm of the Knicks, it also had advantages, because almost everyone in the Knicks stood Entering Li Shengli's defensive killing line...

Come one, crash one!

Two of them will destroy you!

Li Shengli's perfect combination of jumping + height + wingspan makes him a shot-blocking machine.

Save big brother Ewing?

The plan failed and the Knicks were wiped out!

Not only failed to rescue his elder brother, but instead asked Li Shengli to gather around and provide reinforcements. He blocked 4 shots in three minutes, which made Pat Riley's body hairy and the Knicks collectively shut down.

…

Three minutes were enough to prove that Pat Riley's arrangement was wrong, because the Jazz achieved a lead and took a 6-point lead, and he immediately transferred his firepower to the outside, gave up... the plan to save Ewing, and at the same time The fourth position was replaced by Herb Williams, who has a stronger offense.

However, this game had already changed direction 12 seconds after Ewing's humiliation.

Even if the Knicks moved their position, how could the shooting from the outside compare to the Jazz's continuous firepower on the inside... Even if Pat Riley roared until he almost lost his voice, it was of no use. Game 1 of the Finals was 80:98. It still ended with the Knicks losing by 18 points.

Li Shengli's personal data: 19 points + 28 rebounds + 10 assists + 6 blocks + 1 steal; Malone's personal data: 37 points + 5 rebounds + 3 assists.

Although this scoring ratio is still seriously abnormal, fortunately, the Jazz won the first victory without any danger.

…

In the first half, Knicks fans were extremely excited because they had already won half the game with an 18-point halftime lead.

In the second half, things took a turn, and Jazz fans became excited because they recovered 18 points in the third quarter and scored another 18 points in the fourth quarter.

Heaven to hell?

For the Jazz, it only takes two steps, the first step is to tie and the second step is to overtake; for the Knicks and Ewing, it also takes two steps... Poof!
