Chapter 135 The Shocking Shark

Kyle Lowry held the ball and looked at Li Zhi. Li Zhi waved his hand to signal Lowry to make his own decision. Li Zhi also wanted to see how much combat power the small steel cannon could exert.

Lowry nodded, calculating the situation on the field in his mind, while holding the ball on the outside. However, Paul on the opposite side was obviously more active in defense, and the rookie Lowry still couldn't let go.

Chris Paul played MVP-level data last season. Although he lost to the Warriors in two preseason games this season, he still performed strongly. In the first two preseason games, Paul was cruel to Lowry.

When Li Zhi saw this situation, Lowry hesitated and was about to make a mistake again, so Li Zhi took the initiative to go around the top of the arc and opened his hands for the ball.Kyle Lowry seemed to be pardoned, and the pass came in an instant.

Seeing this situation, O'Neal went straight to the top of the arc and made a pick-and-roll, bringing out Hornets center Tyson Chandler.

Li Zhi didn't waste time. This kind of cooperation with O'Neal has been done countless times in the preseason and team training games. This is the most powerful tactic of the Warriors.

Li Zhi was accurate in three-pointers and made a sharp breakthrough. Peja, who was defending him, did not dare to go around the screen, because Li Zhi would probably make a direct three-pointer from the outside. This kind of ball faced the Hornets in the preseason, and Li Zhi did not miss shots.

So in the face of Li Zhi's extremely fast breakthrough, Peja could only forcefully squeeze through O'Neill's cover, trying to keep up with Li Zhi, but O'Neal would use some small movements on his arms or legs at this time.

In this case, the defender in front of Li Zhi became Tyson Chandler who was guarding the penalty area. Li Zhi easily got rid of it and went straight to the basket to score two points.

"Lowry's wonderful pass, O'Neal's pick-and-roll, and Li Zhi's breakthrough! The Warriors scored two points first!"

Then the Hornets attacked, and the Hornets' ball possession organization task undoubtedly fell into the hands of "Queen Bee" Paul. Paul's organization has been blown up by NBA experts.

In O'Neal's words, Paul has Nash's breakthrough, Kidd's passing, and Iverson's dribbling skills.

Although what O'Neal said is exaggerated, Paul is indeed comparable to the three top point guards in terms of breakthrough, passing, and dribbling, and Paul is better than Nash, Kidd, and Iverson in one thing-defense.

As the No. [-] player in the Western Conference last year and the No. [-] player in the Western Conference before the All-Star Game, he was hammered twice by the Warriors who did not make the playoffs in the preseason.

Paul is not only a great organizer, but also an excellent scorer. He averaged 22.1 points per game last season and has no technical dead ends.

Paul seldom played singles. After calling Tyson Chandler's pick-and-roll, Paul also went straight to the inside. The small steel gun was trembling in the arms of the boxing champion, and he couldn't squeeze through it.

But the Warriors still have Barnes inside. Barnes has only two roles in the Warriors' starting lineup-defense and rebounding.Considering O'Neal's aging, O'Neal is a little bit powerless in rebounding. Letting pure blue-collar Barnes play can effectively relieve O'Neal's pressure.

And Barnes also has a certain shooting ability, can shoot three-pointers from the outside, can open up space for O'Neal's inside singles, or Li Zhi's breakthrough.

After Paul experienced some aerial confrontation, he passed the ball behind his back to Tyson Chandler who came back, and Chandler dunked the ball after receiving the ball.

After Chandler scored, he stared at Barnes in front of him with staring eyes. Barnes was a nervous man who didn't respond to Chandler's provocation. He threw himself into the offensive end while O'Neal shouted.

The old shark felt that his younger brother Chandler had been humiliated. Barnes played a big role beside O'Neal, helping to get in position and working hard. O'Neal returned to the offensive end and hit Chandler.

After scoring, O'Neal did not forget to taunt his opponent, imitating Chandler's staring eyes, and plausibly said: "What do you see, your defense is not as good as my grandma's!"

Chandler snorted coldly, and returned to the offensive end to grab a position with O'Neill, not forgiving, and said: "You are so old, can't you talk less?"

Some people are born with extremely strong self-esteem, and it is a taboo for O'Neill to tell others that he is old. During a team training match, Milicic said "old guy" the cheapest, and then O'Neill hammered him to the ground. His underwear was hidden in the locker room.

So in order to prove that he is not old, O'Neill snorted and said: "I don't know who it was in the preseason game. I was pressed on the ground and rubbed, and I couldn't get a rebound!"

Li Zhi was running on the offensive end, and the old shooter Peja was tired of coping. At 15 seconds, Li Zhi finally got an open position. However, Li Zhi received a pass from Lowry and wanted to make a shot, but Lasu Butler had already defended.

After Li Zhi made a fake move, he didn't shake Butler, and immediately passed the ball to Stephen Jackson on the left perimeter. Stephen Jackson caught the ball and threw it, and the three-pointer hit the net.

5:2
Like a victorious king, O'Neill walked proudly in front of Tyson Chandler, still muttering non-stop.

Back on the defensive end, Li Zhi still stood on the sidelines and watched from a distance, seeing if there were loopholes there, he would make up the defense in time.

Paul still made a breakthrough assist this time, but Lowry was still deceived by Paul. He followed Paul for a circle, only to find that the basketball had reached David West outside the penalty area.

David West is the No. 18.3 scorer of the Hornets. Last season, he averaged 2.06 points per game. His height of [-] blurred the boundary between power forward and center, and his mid-range shots were especially deadly.

After hearing the "swish" of the basket, the Nets scored two points.

Li Zhi couldn't help looking at David West more, wondering if David West in this life would choose to hug the warrior's thigh.

5:4
The Warriors attacked, Xiao Gangpao took advantage of Paul's opportunity to defend Li Zhi, caught the ball and broke through, and scored the first point of the game.

Zhang Lili said: "Lowry is a good point guard with excellent breakthrough and defense. I hope to grow up by Li Zhi's side."

Yu Jia analyzed: "But these two rounds against Paul, a small guard, didn't take advantage of it. Being teased twice in a row can be regarded as a bloody lesson."

Zhang Lili and Yu Jia continued to analyze. During the analysis, the situation on the field began to develop in a direction that was unfavorable for the Warriors.

After the two sides played several rounds, the New Orleans Hornet finally showed his stinger. After two successful defenses, Paul led the team to fast break, and the score reached 5:9 in an instant.
The two attacks of the Warriors are not unreasonable. Both opportunities were empty, but Li Zhi's mid-range shot was not accurate enough and Jackson was empty once.

Shaquille O'Neal and Barnes didn't grab the rebound inside, which created this situation.

In the next attack, Li Zhi hit a time difference, received a pass from Lowry and broke through, causing a foul by Chandler inside.

Made both free throws.
