Chapter 374 What Nutrition Does Trash Talk Require?

In the second half, the entire Spurs were in complete chaos, and head coach Bob Hill had to release Rodman on the bench to cooperate with the team's defensive plan to suppress the Mavericks inside.

As for the Mavericks…

Motta didn't have to worry about his own defense at all. Instead, he dropped Smith on offense and assigned Wingate to play a roaming No. 4 position. And this substitution... to be honest, Smith, who was standing with his arms akimbo and standing still, couldn't run. He came out of position and simply took advantage of Li Shengli and Kidd's continuous transfers.

Although it couldn't be seen in one or two rounds, after the second quarter, Smith's positioning indeed missed several perfect shooting opportunities, otherwise the point difference would have continued to widen.

…

Fight again in the third quarter.

The Mavericks have fine-tuned their lineup, and so have the Spurs. Li Shengli suddenly laughed when he saw Rodman with a crew cut and dyed green hair. To be honest, dyeing his hair is nothing unusual. Rick Barry even wore a wig to play in the NBA. But what he couldn't understand was... why did it have to be dyed green?

Laughter, the game continues.

Because the Spurs' lineup was replaced by Rodman, it was equivalent to strong defense and weak offense, and the pressure on the Mavericks' defense was also much less, because the Spurs only had a few shooting points, one was Robinson who was being marked by Li Shengli, and the other two The first is the two defenders Avery and Vinnie.

This was clearly reflected in the Spurs' subsequent offense.

Robinson is still holding the ball in the high position, while Avery and Vinnie are on both sides. Rodman and Sean are the main instigators and assistants in the middle. Although this kind of placement can only be regarded as a conventional arrangement, there are also simple ones. Well, at least it will be much easier for players to execute.

You want to drag me out?

At this distance, what can you do if you take action?

Li Shengli saw that Robinson's life and death was to hold the ball outside the penalty area, reduce the chance of confrontation, and prepare to involve his own defense, so he simply opened the defensive distance a little, and it was not close to the body.

It's true that David Robinson is good at mid-range, but now this position is mid-to-long range. Even if it's just one word, there is a gap in between. At least Robinson cannot guarantee a regular shooting rate, and this is for Li Shengli. The defense is enough, and the free distance can also react quickly to save in other directions.

In the end, it was Robinson who took the shot, and distance was indeed an issue.

Boom!

After the ball was struck, it bounced to the left side of the three-point line. Neither Li Shengli nor Robinson had time to participate in the rebound competition, and one person from each side flew in, Rodman for the Spurs and Kidd for the Mavericks.

"Go away, you little bitch!" Rodman was probably depressed on the bench. He came up to grab a rebound and then angrily yelled at Kidd. However, he was already physically dominant and relied on rebounds to make a living. He grabbed the rebound in suspense, threw it to Vinnie on the side, and hit a three-pointer.

"Shut your stinky mouth!" Kidd cursed, went to the baseline to receive Wingate's serve, and drove the ball forward. Rodman seemed to have waited on purpose, and walked backwards to face Kidd. He continued to harass him with trash talk. Although he was not familiar with a rookie like Kidd, it did not hinder him from scolding him vigorously.

"What, are you angry?"

"Boy, I'm going to tear off your head and make it into a toilet!"

"Listen, pass the ball quickly, trash like you doesn't deserve to touch the ball."

"Quick, quick pass, what are you afraid of?"

"Can't stand it anymore? Come hit me if you can't stand it anymore!"

"Oh, God, didn't Li Shengli teach you how to hit someone?"

…

At this moment, both sides on the court were confused.

In the first half of the game, both sides were relatively harmonious. At most, they could only talk and complain a few words, like Sean who was blocked by Li Shengli. This is also the style of the Spurs team, but Rodman changed his tone as soon as he came on. , one mouth is like a machine gun, shooting at Kidd.

Kidd was a little angry, and Li Shengli also had a cold face... What do you mean, "Li Shengli didn't teach you how to hit people?" ’

"Kidd, give me the ball!"

"Here you go, fuck him!"

Li Shengli roared, and Kidd found an opportunity to directly push the pass. The Spurs' defensive arrangement was originally for Rodman to cooperate with Robinson to double-team Li Shengli, so Rodman immediately pounced on him, but this time the double-teaming was delayed. Robinson's first line of defense is not yet established, and Rodman's second line of defense is not yet in place.

If Er Luo really wants to make dumplings, it is not an exaggeration to say that no one will come.

Therefore, after Li Shengli received the ball, he immediately faked a shot and hit Robinson, then rushed sideways to the basket to create a one-on-one opportunity. After the first step of the plan was completed and he encountered Rodman, he immediately came up with a flat push. Package, dunk on the head.

"Beautiful, so beautiful!" Kidd flew over and high-fived Li Shengli, feeling quite happy. Although he was quite civilized in private, he still turned around and counterattacked Rodman, "Swear, keep scolding, We’ll beat your head to bits on horseback, do you believe it?!”

Luo: "It's none of your business. Does this ball have anything to do with you?"

Key: "I asked you to dye your hair, garbage!"

Luo: "Damn, why do you..."

Key: "I let you talk trash to me, trash!"

Luo: "You little bitch..."

Key: "Trash, don't talk to me!"

Luo: "I..."

Key: "Speak, trash!"

Luo: "┗|｀O′|┛Ah~~"

…

What the hell is this?

Little troll - Kidd?

No one knows where Kidd learned this mouth-sealing tactic, blocking Rodman from opening his mouth. When returning to defense, Curry scratched his head and said a few words to Li Shengli.

"This kid... wasn't like this before, was he?" Curry.

"I guess he was forced by Rodman?"

"Oh my god, this kid's trash talk is really worthless. It's all about his quick words!"

"What kind of nutrition do you need from trash talk? That's all you need to be happy!" Li Shengli gave a thumbs up to Kidd, who became even more excited.

…

Back to the game.

The effect of the Spurs' tactical fine-tuning has already appeared. David Robinson has tried his best to reduce the confrontation with Li Shengli. This is not because he is afraid, but because it is a tactical need.

The height of the shot makes it difficult for anyone except Li Shengli to block it.

The shooting distance is a bit far, but he needs to pull out Li Shengli's defense to create opportunities for his teammates. If Li Shengli hangs half a step to defend, he can directly shoot and try to make a hit. He can also take Li Shengli to take off and play. If he scores, he scores, if he doesn't... Rodman's rebounding advantage will be reflected.

As for the simpler defense, Rodman has plenty of physical energy, and partnering with Robinson will completely block Li Shengli's shots without sparing any effort.

…

Big question!

Throughout the third quarter, the Spurs' first offensive efficiency was very poor. Robinson made 3 of 7, but this was expected by the Spurs. They used Rodman's offensive rebounds and second offense to make up for it, and the overall efficiency was not inferior to that of the second offense. Section 2.

On the other hand, the Mavericks...

Li Shengli doesn't take many shots, but in order to pull the Spurs' defensive formation, he has to hold the ball, and the choice of distribution after breaking the defense is the biggest difficulty.

Curry was guarded very tightly, Wingate was also pestered by Sean, and the free Jones was not strong enough. Only Kidd could take the shot. Fortunately, Kidd was uncharacteristically after being angered by Rodman, shooting 3 of 6 in a single quarter. He made 3 of 4 free throws and scored 9 points in a single quarter.

Also because of Kidd's active offensive movement, Li Shengli can basically take the ball by passing the ball. This has made Li Shengli's assist data begin to increase.
