Chapter 639 The Secret of Success
Entering the intermission.
Although the Lakers recovered some points in the second quarter, they were still at a disadvantage in the first half. In the arrangement of the third quarter... he directly replaced Li Shengli and switched to Ben and Campbell to play inside.
…
The third quarter played for a while.
Harris's face was really hard to watch, because the score difference was chasing in the second quarter and there were signs of sending it back in the third quarter. Fisher, who had exploded in the second quarter, was also confused now, and Harris could guess ... Fisher's unstable outburst was based on Li Shengli's presence.
"It still doesn't seem to be working." Harris sighed.
"I think it's okay. At least Fisher does have the ability to have small bursts!" Li Shengli stared at the court and said, while Kobe Bryant, who also did not play, was also on the bench, a little regretful of his poor opening performance.
"Well, that's true. He gives me more choices at guard, but his explosion has prerequisites. It's still not suitable to be a starter." Harris pays attention to every detail on the court, and this will make the Lakers Offensively, Li Shengli's threat was no longer there, Fisher's shooting environment was much worse, and he missed the target.
"Don't talk about it now, just talk about how to play this game. There are too few shooting points now. The old man who led me before also built a human shield group for me. If I really let me shoot free throws, my touch today is also Can not be done."
"Then...defensive counterattack." Harris thought for a moment, "Our efficiency is not high, so let Jazz accompany us. Someone has to climb out of the quagmire, right? In this way...you can wait for a while Then I will play inside with Ben and control the rhythm, and I will let Kobe and Crotty play outside. This time I don’t ask for high offensive efficiency, but the defense must be effective.”
"Then Fisher won't fight? Let's give him a chance. He needs it very much at this time."
"Give him a chance? Hey... Li, you are really becoming more and more boss-like, but his time limit is exceeded now. If he fights again, there will definitely be a physical impact."
"Then let's wait until there is a real decline. I think it's almost there. It's my turn, otherwise it will collapse too quickly and there will be no chance at all."
…
Until the 5 minutes of the third quarter.
The Lakers went from being 2 points behind to 7 points behind. If Ben hadn't guarded the penalty area for Li Shengli, the point difference would have been even greater. As soon as Li Shengli came on the court... Ben and Crotty breathed a sigh of relief, feeling like the world was in order. A spine, and this is the firm belief that the two brothers have formed in Li Shengli over the years.
"Big Ben, don't be tired, just keep an eye on you."
"Crotty, the same goes for you. Come in suddenly, Ben and I will block you."
"And Fisher...you have to work hard and cherish the opportunity!"
Li Shengli came on the court and said something to several teammates, and when Fisher heard this, he was a little moved and wanted to cry. On the one hand, it was Li Shengli's encouragement, and on the other hand, Li Shengli returned to the court, and his shot was able to return to the second quarter. of the outbreak.
…
This time it's the Lakers offense.
The Jazz have replaced rookie center Cunningham, No. 3 in the tank blasting team, to continue the battle against Li Shengli.
However, Li Shengli had halftime plus a 5-minute break in the third quarter, and his endurance was replenished.
It was easy to beat Cunningham. He didn't even have to find a rhythm. Li Shengli pushed into the penalty area in one breath, turned lightly and reached the basket.
"Boss, he's in."
"I'm here, fuck him!"
Cunningham called Malone, and Malone led him to form a back-and-forth defense against Li Shengli. Li Shengli... was too familiar with this situation. He grabbed the ball and threw it to Fisher, with Big Ben also helping. On the screen, Fisher made a mid-range shot from complete air defense.
…
The Lakers' offense is basically like this.
As the first beneficiary of Li Shengli's defense, Fisher does not need to distribute the ball to others, and the Lakers' offensive rhythm is much faster.
Of course, the Jazz's offense is the focus of this game.
Hornacek is almost autistic outside, and Crotty doesn't give him any chance.
Malone was also uncomfortable, often unable to get into deep positions. Although his turnaround jump shot was not low, the problem was that as long as he hit the iron... the ball would not come back. The rebounds in the penalty area were basically Li Shengli's, and those outside the penalty area, Ben and Ke Rodty rushed like crazy, startling the Jazz, who always played a tough game.
…
"Karl, go in and fight!" Stockton was a little anxious.
"Okay, then I won't be polite!" Ma Long glared at Ben.
This time, a hidden elbow was added to the movement of turning over and thrusting inward. After all, Malone's iron elbow is his signature, and he only uses it when he is in a hurry. But Ben is so strong that he didn't feel much hurt, and even felt sad. I thought... The boss had good intentions when he hit me before. Look, Malone's elbow doesn't hurt me at all?
However, Ma Long still entered the penalty area, and now he realized that it was better to fight outside than to ride on the horse. What kind of punishment would he suffer when he came in? With a bang, Li Shengli covered his head and face with a big hat.
Malone was deeply embarrassed.
Li Shengli felt very happy. The depression caused by the financial loss in the All-Star game was gone after this block.
…
It's Jazz offense again.
This time, Stockton took the lead in the charge. As soon as he rushed outside the penalty area, his teammates on both sides were locked up. As soon as Li Shengli took a step, Stockton deliberately waited for a while and hit the ground to center Cunningham under the basket. Uploaded by Mu's hand.
There is no problem with passing the ball, but the problem is that Li Shengli is defensive.
The secondary attribute of turning speed is very useful for defense, plus the distance back to the basket is not far.
Li Shengli faced off with Cunningham in the air as soon as he took off. He swatted the ball forward with a big palm fan hand and nailed the ball to the backboard with a bang. Before it landed, he grabbed it and threw it into the frontcourt, hitting Fisher. A fast break.
…
"Can't get in?" Stockton was annoyed.
"Cunningham can't pull Li away. Even if he pulls away... well, there's still an animal!" Ma Long was also annoyed.
"Then, let's fight from a distance, they can't hold it anymore!"
…
Utah Shuangsha simply said a few words, the Jazz can change the scene so quickly that Sloan can't arrange it again. This is one of the basic conditions for the Jazz to be a strong team. Giving up the frontcourt and playing more and more outside, the Jazz's The offense leveled off.
As for the Lakers...
The defense in the third quarter was too fierce. In 7 minutes, Li Shengli added 6 points, 4 rebounds, 3 assists and 2 blocks. In the third quarter, he scored 21 points, 12 rebounds, 7 assists and 6 blocks. With the help of two strong men, Ben and Crotty, Let the Jazz's offense be limited to Stockton's hands.
But there are changes at the end.
Fisher's time seriously exceeded the standard, his touch dropped severely, and Li Shengli's assist data was gone.
The Jazz took a missed shot, and Li Shengli's block stopped.
And Kobe didn't feel good when he stepped up. Li Shengli could only play. He was actively fouled by the three centers that the Jazz had been rotating. He made 2 of 4 shots and 3 of 6 free throws. Coupled with the exhaustion of physical fitness in the wheel battle, The defensive end also dropped.
The only good news is that Malone needs some rest, too.
Campbell stabilized after coming on the field in the second half of the final quarter. Li Shengli received 2 assists on his inbound pass. The Lakers caught up with some disadvantages. After Malone came on the court... the Lakers' offense returned to a period of weakness.
Until the end of the game, the Lakers trailed by 12 points.
A near triple-double of 30 points, 14 rebounds, 9 assists and 6 blocks failed to turn the situation around?
Li Shengli felt a little sore, but thinking about his teammates, he was helpless, so he could only comfort everyone after the game, but it was Fisher... Today was his lucky day. Even though everyone was exhausted, he still hit a 22 points, 2 rebounds and 2 assists, atypical point guard statistics, won everyone's praise.
…
"Although we lost, but... you can do it Fisher, you played well today!" Li Shengli and Kobe personally praised it.
"It's pretty good. If you maintain this level in the future, you might be able to steal Nick's starting spot."
"Eddie, get out of here!" Nick cursed and turned to Fisher: "Fisher, I'm surprised. Everyone is so tired. Why are you okay and still able to explode?" ?”
Fisher didn't say anything at this moment, thinking to himself...you don't care about me?
When we played back-to-back away games, I slept the entire time; when you trained, I secretly slept; when you played games, I sat on the bench and slept; when you went to reporters for interviews, I slept in the locker room.
Damn it, can I be in a bad mood?
What's even more annoying is that you guys haven't noticed that I've been sleeping. How transparent am I?
When the secret to success became sleep, and success came from sleeping, Fisher didn't know whether to cry or laugh.
