Chapter 209: Lima 2 blossom

On May 12, the Utah Jazz VS Houston Rockets officially opened their second game.
　　 There is not much change in the lineup of both parties, but in view of the experience of the previous game, Li Shengli's suppression of Olajuwon, all live audiences and fans watching the live broadcast have set their sights on the inside line of this game.

　　 beep!
　　 A whistle sounded, Li Shengli won the jump ball again, or the Jazz launched the first round of attack.
　　 Today's Jazz, the offensive basically revolves around the three players of Limas, Stockton advances the ball, Malone's high pick and roll strategy, Li Shengli stands at the edge of the penalty area and waits.
Speaking of which, Li Shengli’s height is the best when he pulls out the pick and roll, but Jerry Sloan considers that Li Shengli also needs to protect the team’s frontcourt rebounds. If the shots from other positions are missed, the Rockets get defensive rebounds. The Jazz's offense was equivalent to no return, after all... No one can underestimate Olajuwon, the top power center.
　　 After the pick-and-roll cooperation, Stockton rushed into the inside and Thorpe made a defense, and he passed the ball back to Malone who ran back after the pick-and-roll with a tricky angle.
　　 Boom!
　　Malone's first shot made iron.
　　Although Malone has a top-of-the-line shooting percentage, no one can make 100 shots and the ball jumps out of the basket. Thorpe, as a defender, naturally rushed to the basket before the Malone, struggling for the rebound.
With the previous collision, Olajuwon didn’t dare to use all his strength. He used all his strength in the card position, because the timing of the rebound was in an instant. Li Shengli was blocked and the rebound was called. General income.
　　Offense and defense.
In the face of Jazz’s impenetrable defense, it is difficult for the Rockets to find an open shot, so this ball is handed over to Olajuwon. This is the role of the core player and must be the team’s knife when the situation cannot be played. , Forcibly tearing open the opponent's defense.
　　 "Boy, you can't stop me today!" Olajuwon lowered his weight and turned his back to single Li Shengli. Although he couldn't see the expression on his face, he could feel his confidence.
　　 Unstoppable?
　　Why can't prevent it?
Li Shengli does not believe in evil. It is difficult to know whether Olajuwon and his opponent want to squeeze further into the restricted area. The only thing to note is his tricky back-to-back footsteps, but at this point, Li Shengli also found a solution. .
In the same words, under normal circumstances, it will be the top, and it will not retreat. As long as Olajuwon changes his steps, he will retreat a small step and leave enough space to cope with it. Anyway, there is high pressure, and blocking can still be done. of.
　　However... to become a superstar, every player is amazing. As Olajuwon is a center leader, his offensive is comprehensive to terrible. The last game may be a bad hand, but this one is different.
　　 Turned back to see Li Shengli retreating, Olajuwon decisively chose a jumper, and at the same time took a jump to choose one leg forward to create a foul, this is the best way to deal with close tight defense.
　　Olajuwon shot, Li Shengli took off and blocked, the referee's whistle came.
　　 2+1!
　　 Less than a minute from the start, Li Shengli got a foul.
　　Olajuwon's free throw percentage is not high, but it is the highest among several top centers. This season, Admiral Robinson is 73.2% and Gorilla Ewing is 71.9%, but Olajuwon has reached 77.9%, which is enough to be the strongest center this season, and Li Shengli's free throw is lower than Ewing. 71.2%.
　　With the penalty hit, the Jazz started unfavorably until the end of the first quarter, and even tended to extend to the back.
　　……
　　 One trick to eat fresh all over the sky?
　　 This is definitely a wrong perception.
　　Everything is in the process of development, and the so-called experience is not static, and Li Shengli's defensive experience in the first game was obviously broken by Olajuwon in this game.
　　 feels good plus offensive offense, Olajuwon abandoned the famous fantasy dance steps, with a hard power cast to lead the team in the first quarter to play a wave of offensive climax.
　　Only he alone...7 shots, 5 hits, and piggybacking made two fouls, one 2+1, one free throw, two free throws, three free throws, and scored 13 points in the first quarter.
The Rockets played bravely. In contrast, the Jazz Legion had no downturn, but it was only a normal play. Malone scored 8 points. Li Shengli scored 4 points against the old sly Olajuwon, and Li Ma’s two The score was also suppressed by Olajuwon alone.
　　 Throughout the first quarter, the Jazz only suppressed the Rockets on the rebound, and this was the reason why the points were not widened.
　　 As for the rebound?
　　Olajuwon also wanted to fight, but it was different from the offense. Except for the pre-judgment and the card position skills, there was not much fancy, and the fight was for physical fitness, and this was won by Li Shengli.
It is worth mentioning that Rodman, the regular season rebounding king, is not outstanding in height, but he is desperate for rebounding, and he is not at the same level as Li Shengli and Olajuwon when he abandoned the offense. Compare.

　　 fell behind by 5 points in the first quarter.
　　 In the second quarter, the Rockets still handed over most of the offense to Olajuwon. After all, Rockets head coach Rudy is not stupid, and it makes no sense to put such an efficient offensive firepower.
　　Defense?
　　Li Shengli really felt awkward. He simply gave up the method of withdrawing space afterwards and directly pushed it up, making room at the edge of the restricted area, and Olajuwon was also on the spot...
　　Malone stepped up and took his hand. Olajuwon didn't care too much and directly scored the ball. If he was one-on-one with Li Shengli, his footsteps could open Li Shengli's center of gravity and rush into the basket to cause damage.
　　Li Shengli encountered a crushing blow for the first time.
　　The Jazz Legion also encountered the first hard battle in the playoffs.
　　 Until the end of the second quarter, entering the halftime break, the difference in the points behind the Jazz increased, 5 points behind the first quarter, 8 points behind the second quarter, was scored 15 points in the first half.

　　 Jazz locker room.
　　Jerry Sloan unsmilingly arranged the offensive and defensive tasks in the second half. Rocket-filled Olajuwon seemed to be unable to defend, and the Jazz wanted to make a comeback.
　　Of course, this means giving up the defense completely. The defense still needs to be defended, but the offense must bloom, one point blooms, and it is easy to be restricted. Obviously not, so Jerry Sloan wants Li Maliang to bloom...
　　 "Li, don't be too anxious, just stabilize and play." Malone's experience in the field is rich, and it is common to hit or be hit by others.
　　 After all, on this three-point acre of the NBA, no one will be an ever-winning general, and in his view...Li Shengli, a rookie with no major experience in competitions, has a loss but a benefit.
　　 "I'm fine!" Li Shengli frowned, "I promise, he will never be so easy in the second half!"
　　 and Olajuwon's confrontation, in Li Shengli's view, is more like a duel between masters, fighting wisdom and fighting tricks.
　　 The first time he scored Olajuwon into the low point of the state, but in the second game Olajuwon recovered the dignity of the top center, exploded him on offense, and then... it was his turn to move.
"Why? Do you think of a way to deal with him?" Ma Long glanced at Li Shengli doubtfully. "Seriously, he has played well in this game. No matter who changes the defense, no one can beat him down. ."
　　 This is not Ma Long's ambition to extinguish others and extinguish his own prestige, but it is the case of the full state of Olajuwon. Just like Malone himself, as a top power forward, it is really a good match for anyone.
　　 There is a state where you can throw with your eyes closed and you can throw in, and you can hit an iron when you have a free shot.
　　 "It doesn't matter, defense is not good, then attack. I can't stop him, and he doesn't want to stop me! Anyway, in this game, I still want to win!" Li Shengli said no more.

　　 Until the beginning of the third quarter, Malone and Stockton hung behind, staring at Li Shengli.
　　 "What's the matter with this kid?" Stockton asked.
　　 "Ghost knows what's going on~EbookFREE.me~ It's good to have a desire to win, but...I still don't like him to be against Olajuwon!"
　　 "Regardless of this. I will give you the ball. In the second half, it's up to you and Li to play!"
　　 "15 points behind halftime, plus a full state of Olajuwon, this game is difficult to win."
"Don't talk nonsense, this is our championship season, you can't lose every game, and your idea is very bad." Stockton frowned. "You are playing more in the playoffs, right? Listen, Carl, we need passion, passion like Lee who refuses to lose, otherwise... you will be our weakest link."
　　 Laozi is the weakest link?
　　Is this sure...to fart?
"Shut up, you!" Ma Long white glanced at his partner. "Who said I'm not passionate anymore, look at it. This second half will give you a good look. My insider and Lee are invincible. Anyone who comes will be free, Ola. Zhu Wang will not work either."

　　 Seriously, if you continue at the current rhythm, if the Jazz Legion has not changed, defeat is already a thing of the past, and the rocket-prepared coffin board has hit their heads. The second half is the battle of sealing the coffin.
　　Li Shengli and Malone's joint is the only chance. This depends on the organization of Stockton. After all, the game is not all singles, teamwork is more important.
　　 And Limas linkage, perfect to play the coffin board sent by the rocket... Play sit-ups, regardless of whether it is sliding or flipping.
