Chapter 373 Veteran Center, Two Out of Three!

The momentum shown in the first quarter is actually weak for the Mavericks, because the Mavericks are only relying on Li Shengli's abnormal 100% shooting rate. As long as Li Shengli's 8 shots are 50%, the Mavericks will lose by 8 points. .

So what the Spurs have to do is very simple. The task assigned by coach Bob Hill is to do everything possible to block Li Shengli's offense and defense. Even if the defense misses people, the opponent cannot guarantee a 100% hit, right?

On the other hand, Motta on the Mavericks side knew this would be the result no matter how stupid he was.

However, the tactic of double-teaming Li Shengli was proven to be unfeasible in the Timberwolves game, because the Mavericks also have Jason Kidd who has an excellent overall view, which is enough to organize the strong side to attack the weak side. Maybe it is efficient. It's a bit worse, but there's no better way.

…

After some arrangements, the second quarter came on stage. Although the situation was not very good, the atmosphere on the Mavericks side was still relatively harmonious.

"You two are in good shape today." Curry tilted his head and glanced at Li Shengli and Kidd. Li Shengli and Kidd looked at each other and felt that it was still difficult to win the game.

"Lee, I guess the Spurs will still want to double-team you."

"Normally, my current efficiency will be like this for any team!" It's not that Li Shengli is boasting, but it is the fact. No head coach can let a person who is 8-for-8 take shots at will. "Kidd, I won't I said it, Smith... cheer up, if you are let go by the opponent's defense and take action after receiving the ball, I will rebound it!"

"Okay, let's start, everyone adapts accordingly!"

Motta's arrangement was general, but the specific execution was still a matter for Li Shengli to lead the team, so he said something to several teammates before going on the stage and returned to the game again.

…

Dallas offense.

Li Shengli did not hold the ball, and the Spurs did not need to change the defensive lineup. They just left it to Robinson to go forward alone. Even though the Mavericks knew that the opponent would double-team, Kidd still passed the ball to Li Shengli, who was running to catch the ball. .

Because only Li Shengli holds the ball, it is possible to pull the opponent's defensive formation, and this happened very quickly. Robinson and his partner Rhett rushed over and restricted Li Shengli to the outside of the penalty area on the left.

"Kid!"

"Got it, Smith!"

"coming!"

Li Shengli couldn't make a single pass, because Robinson and Reed were facing him with their backs to the basket, completely blocking the passing route, and he could only 'go far away' and pass the ball to Kidd on the outside, who in turn passed it to Smith reached the right side of the penalty area, completed a 'V'-shaped transfer, and easily scored the goal.

…

A mature super giant must not only have personal abilities, but also have experience on the field. In the final analysis, this goal was due to Li Shengli's intimidation enough, Kidd's passing and receiving fast enough, and as for Smith at the end of the offense... There's nothing to say. It's the same for anyone who can replace the mid-range shooter who is close to air defense.

Li Shengli is growing up, and Robinson knows how to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages.

Let’s not talk about Li Shengli’s abnormal offense in the first quarter. Just take the defense in the penalty area as an example. No one from the Spurs dared to attack the inside. It was just like the feeling in the Laimbeer era, but it was not for fear of injury, but for fear of being blocked, and being blocked from the front. Hats also pose a huge safety hazard.

Therefore, during the Spurs' offense, David Robinson kept wandering a few steps outside the penalty area with the ball, forcing Li Shengli to chase and defend, either playing alone or creating opportunities for his teammates to break through the penalty area.

"Shawn, high up!"

"receive!"

Robinson moved to the high post for a pick-and-roll, and small forward Sean Elliott, who was holding the ball, made a diagonal cut away from Wingate.

Do you want to take action now?

Li Shengli took a step forward to intercept Sean, but Sean passed the ball back to Robinson.

Damn it, after all this detour, why don't you take action?

Li Shengli had no time to react, so he suddenly stopped and jumped to block Robinson, but Robinson was really full of mistakes and passed to Sean in the air.

"Rush into the penalty area, Sean!" Robinson was very satisfied with the cooperation this time, because Li Shengli had already jumped up, and Smith was also stuck by his own Red, and it was more stable for Sean to give up shooting and go for a layup.

"Get away, no one can stop me!"

Sean roared, and his three-step layup was decent and not too fast. Li Shengli was shaken back and forth twice, and landed at the same time as Robinson, who was passing the ball in the air. But as soon as he landed, he turned around and dived at Xiao for the layup. kindness!

I'm done!

Still not giving up on this ball?

The ball was given up to Robinson. It wasn't that he didn't want to defend it, but that the possibility of defending it was too low. This was also a weakness in his character. On the contrary, it was Li Shengli... Maybe O'Neal and Mourning were like this too. You may have to do it!

"Who are you telling... to get away...?!"

An angry shout shook Sean's eardrums, but Sean only saw a huge black shadow pressing over him. The ball just escaped his hands and rose up, and was directly nailed to the backboard.

Catch the ball, transfer, fast break!

Kidd was simply the embodiment of wit. Knowing that he couldn't help with the defense of this ball, he stood close to the center line, and after receiving the ball, he went directly to the frontcourt. The Spurs even gave up on defense, and even Sean, who was blocked, even Reasoning with the referee in the backcourt.

"Foul, interference with the ball, call him!"

The great opportunity was just gone, and one was blocked?

Sean's face turned red and he signaled to the referee to interfere with the ball, but the referee almost ignored him because the block just now was uncontroversial, there was no contact or interference with the ball, and several referees even wanted to tell him... young man , too young, this is Li Shengli!

"Shit, home whistle? This ball is definitely an interference ball. Wouldn't you be able to play without the home whistle?" Sean avoided the referee and complained in a low voice.

Robinson on the side pulled him to signal that it was enough, but Li Shengli stood under the basket and clearly heard Sean's nonsense and frowned.

You are dishonest, brother!

Do you really think we are all deaf?

"You... pay attention to what you say. If you don't accept it, just watch the replay. Don't talk nonsense!" Li Shengli frowned and didn't bother to argue with Sean. On the contrary, Sean was still complaining on the side, which made him feel angry. , and this round... it's still the Spurs' offense.

Sean, who was already emotional, directly asked for the ball and singled Wingate.

Although this was contrary to the Spurs coach's strategy of Robinson pulling Li Shengli, Robinson didn't say anything. Both sides played singles, and Sean made a quick breakthrough and moved closer to the inside, attracting Ku, who was defending. After that, it's a step-back jumper, located between the penalty area on the left and the three-point line.

Robinson rushed to the basket at full speed in an instant, but when he glanced at Li Shengli out of the corner of his eye, his heart suddenly tightened and he secretly thought something was wrong.

call out!

Sean's shot worked.

Curry's blocking height was too low, but Li Shengli behind him rose to the sky on the spot, and slapped out with a big palm fan, and the Mavericks fans on the sidelines immediately rioted. After all, everyone knows Li Shengli's glorious history, and even the defender behind him Wingate and Curry, who were defending head-on, both ran away with their heads in their hands.

However... there was a soft bang.

The turbulent scene calmed down. Although Li Shengli's frontal hat blocked Sean again, the power was not that terrible, and it was even 'gentle'.

"Is it necessary to watch the replay to see if it was interference with the ball?" Li Shengli said with a cold face. Sean felt like there was blood in his brain, but it was not embarrassing to say that this block was because with Li Shengli's abnormal mobility, who could score the ball? You have to kneel when you come.

…

The game goes down.

The Spurs' defense still had the expected effect, reducing Li Shengli's shots and shifting the Mavericks' offense to other positions. The efficiency was greatly reduced, but problems always arise... The Spurs' defense was effective, and the offense was also effective. Something went wrong.

Ever since Sean kept complaining that the block was ball interference, Li Shengli went berserk.

Even if Robinson was holding the ball on the outside and pulling him, it was useless. He started with a fight, forcing Robinson to pass the ball, and then blocked every opponent who dared to rush in from the basket. In a single quarter, he blocked Sean 3 times and Reid 2 times. This time, Rhett was so innocent that he wanted to curse.

Oh shit!

Didn't you use offense and just used defense to defeat us?

At 22:26 of the second quarter, Spurs coach Bob Hill simply couldn't imagine the current situation, because under Li Shengli's rule, except for Robinson who can take action, others who rush into the penalty area will die in front of the light. Although they beat the Mavericks efficiency, but the efficiency of my own home is even worse.

Seeing this scene, Kidd saw Li Shengli's incomprehension for the first time.

18 points, 5 rebounds, and 2 blocks in a single quarter, 6 points, 6 rebounds, 5 blocks, and 3 assists in the second quarter. The halftime data was 24+11+3+7. If he beats this horse again, he will have another quadruple-double. Have you gone?

If you think about it carefully, Li Shengli's god-level statistics may have to be delivered by the Spurs again. In terms of the extent of the blow, Robinson was definitely the first to bear the brunt. He was held down in all directions and could not move. He and the Knicks' Ewing became brothers. As for the The three veteran centers, basically... get rid of two of the three!
