Bulldozer of the NBA’s Restricted Area

Chapter 15 Creating Pressure

next game.

The University of Connecticut players implemented the Cardinal's tactics very well. After a timeout, the lineup was also fine-tuned. A seven-foot center replaced the power forward on the field, and the lineup became two big and three small.

According to the head coach at Connecticut...

A center can't beat Li Shengli?

Then I'll take two!

As long as Li Shengli's rebound is suppressed, Dongka will be a tiger with his teeth pulled out, and the rest is the competition of shooting percentage. They are enough to strangle Dongka alive!

It has to be said that this arrangement has brought Li Shengli a lot of trouble.

Although the two centers of the University of Connecticut were not Li Shengli's opponents in a one-on-one situation, they successfully suppressed Li Shengli in two-on-one. One was responsible for blocking positions and the other was responsible for rebounding, which made Li Shengli very irritable.

This is the first time Li Shengli felt so aggrieved inside.

In the final analysis, his basket skills are not good enough. Facing the targeted deployment of the University of Connecticut, he has no way to deal with it alone.

Until halfway through the first half.

With a score of 20:12, the University of Connecticut led by 8 points.

In these ten minutes, Li Shengli only got 3 rebounds, which formed a huge contrast with the data of 13 rebounds in five minutes against Tulane University. The head coach Eddie called a timeout, and Tom replaced Li Shengli.

...

"It's over, it's over, this game is probably lost, our rebounding monster was completely suppressed by the University of Connecticut."

"What the f**k! Without Li's rebounds, our outside line is like a bunch of pigs. If this continues, we will definitely be dragged to death by our opponents!"

"What is Li doing? After these few games, he hasn't taken a few shots. Is he really an offensive idiot? I thought he was the savior of Dongka, but now it seems that he is just a deformed monster who can't score."

"Shut up! Lee has only played four games. He still has a lot of room for improvement. We should support him so that Dongka can go further."

There will be as much slander as praise.

Seeing the poor performance of Dongka University, the fans were very indignant, and some even pointed the finger at Li Shengli, who was targeted by the opponent, completely forgetting how Li Shengli led Dongka to win four consecutive victories before.

But you can't blame these people either.

The greater the expectation, the greater the disappointment.

In their eyes, Li Shengli should be a crazy and brutal Dongka monster, but what they see so far is just an ordinary center who has been repeatedly suppressed by his opponents and can't play at all.

...

However... different from the fans.

All the players at Dongka University didn't care about the current situation at all, as if they had foreseen the result in advance, and their faces didn't show any anxiety about being behind by a big score, but they were a little...excited?

"Oh, God, look, our Li is going to be angry!" Seeing Li Shengli who was substituted, Mark rubbed his head.

"It's too bad, I dare not say whether I will win or not, but I feel... this game will definitely scare the opponent." Brook also looked straight at Li Shengli.

"It's almost time, cheer up, we have to pave the way for Li in the first half. Now we are behind by 8 points. Before the end of the first half, we must not let the score fall behind by more than 8 points." Alan encouraged others Four teammates, and the teammates gave him a collective look.

"How can 8 points be enough? We must be 10 points behind at least. Otherwise, Li's pressure is not enough!" Small forward George, who has been taciturn, also joked.

"Don't worry, I'll release the water later, I believe we will fall behind by 16 points." Tom, who is new to the game, is very confident.

"Don't... Tom, you don't need to let the water go, you can be 16 points behind if you play normally." Mark's poisonous tongue did not let Tom go.

...

After the timeout, the game continues.

After Li Shengli left the field, in order to maintain the physical strength of the inside players, the University of Connecticut also found an opportunity to replace the center who came off the bench to limit Li Shengli.

But Dongka University's calm and composed conversation made the opponents confused.

what's going on? !

Don't worry about falling behind by 8 points? !

Still 16 points behind to be under pressure? !

Do they have any cards? No, it's impossible... Even their ace center has been suppressed by us, how else can they compete with us?

These guys must be crazy!

...

The game is still going on.

Although East Carolina University is still at a disadvantage, the head coach Eddie is not anxious or angry.

In fact, from the beginning of this game, he had no intention of winning, because Dongka's current level is still difficult to compete with the University of Connecticut, and it was completely expected that he would be hung up and beaten.

Although Li Shengli only played for 10 minutes, anyone with a discerning eye can feel that his offense is a short board. Without excellent shooting ability, he cannot pull out the opponent's inside line and create opportunities for his teammates to break through the penalty area.

What's more, his handling of opponents' blocking and double-teaming is also very blunt. He obviously lacks experience in confrontation at the basket, and he has a strong body but cannot fully exert it.

But Eddie didn't say it, he hoped that Li Shengli could find out the problem by himself. And this game is Li Shengli's touchstone, winning or losing is not the focus of his attention, Li Shengli's growth is what he values ​​most.

...

Beep!

The first half of the game is finally over.

Tom's crow's mouth is obviously open, the score between the two sides is 30:46, and the University of Connecticut leads by 16 points.

Leading by 16 points just after halftime?

In such a game, if there is no accident, there is no suspense about winning or losing, and even some spectators have already started to leave early.

Than offensive?

The outside bombing of the University of Connecticut completely crushed Donka, and the players felt smoother and smoother.

than defense?

The University of Connecticut is even more true. Tom on the inside was overwhelmed and couldn't form an effective kill, while the outside line didn't even have a decent chance to make a move.

This is the crushing of hard power, and no one can do anything about it.

...

Intermission is 15 minutes.

Li Shengli returned to the field again, and the University of Connecticut seemed to have anticipated it in advance, and once again came up with two big and three small lineups.

East card offensive round.

Li Shengli stood on the inside and asked for the ball from a high position, while Alan, who was holding the ball from the outside, passed it without thinking.

"This guy wants...to eat me alone?" Seeing Li Shengli asking for the ball, the opposing center was taken aback for a moment, and then showed a hint of sneer, because his teammates had already rushed to double-team.

One-on-one, I can't beat you!

But two-on-one, do you have the guts to make a move?

However... Li Shengli didn't think about this at all, and hit his opponent with his back. After sinking his center of gravity, he fully demonstrated his arrogance, and his lower body strength exploded.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Li Shengli turned around and jumped up, holding the ball with both hands and smashing it towards the basket with all his strength. The other defensive center had already guessed Li Shengli's intentions and took off first, intending to forcibly block Li Shengli.

"Give me... Get out!"

A roar almost frightened the opponent. Li Shengli dunked the ball into the basket against the opponent's center. Even if the opponent failed to block the shot, he couldn't pull the ball back by pulling his arm.
