NBA Please Answer 2007

Chapter 161 Shark Elbow
The second half begins and the players return to the field.

The Warriors continued to use man-to-man compression defense. Looking at the lineup on the field, many people were surprised. Nelson played Livingston, the guy with a broken leg.

"Could it be that Nelson's brain is broken, and he even used Livingston. Are there no Warriors left?" This is the thought of many Trail Blazers fans.

Roy frowned insignificantly. He found that Livingston was not as weak as everyone imagined.At least Livingston has a height of 201cm and has an advantage when facing Roy.

The Blazers continued to hand the ball to Roy. Roy tentatively made a three-threat pose, and Livingston remained expressionless.Roy has a lot of offensive methods, but facing a taller Livingston, many offensive methods are greatly reduced, such as his favorite pull-up jumper.

Roy did not make a strong attack and passed the ball to Batum. Batum caught the ball and made a jumper and missed it under Jackson's interference.He is not a pure shooter. In contrast, what he is better at now is defense.

In the next round, Jackson's jumper missed under the interference of Batum. The teenager used his performance to make Jackson, the martial artist, take a look.

The Blazers counterattacked and dropped the ball inside, and Aldridge singled Milicic.

In this game, Aldridge has a very high shooting rate, his low-post offensive methods are rich, and Milicic does not have an advantage physically.

Milicic couldn't tell what he was suffering from. Aldridge leaned against Milicic, turned around and made a jumper from the baseline, and scored the ball again. He has unknowingly scored 18 points in this game. You know, this is only the beginning of the third quarter, and his average scoring this season is only 18.1 points.

The Warriors cannot double-team. Once Aldridge is double-teamed, others will get a chance. Once the combination of inside and outside is opened, they are not opponents of the Blazers.

Nelson tried to let O'Neal face Aldridge, but that was a way to kill one thousand and hurt eight hundred. If O'Neal was to defend, all the energy on the offensive end would be on Li Zhi.

This season, the Trail Blazers can reach the second place in the Western Conference, relying on the internal and external strengths of Roy and Aldridge. The loss is because one of them misfires. This tactic is very similar to the Rockets' Yao-Mike combination.

The Blazers have a singles and a pick-and-roll. The Warriors are very uncomfortable. Although the tactics are simple, the effect is remarkable.If they can't defend, they will suffer on offense. Batum and Fernandez take special care of Li Zhi. Li Zhi's every shot is very difficult. He can't shoot outside shots, so he can only hand the ball to O'Neal in the low post.

After playing for 5 minutes, except for O'Neal, the Warriors' outside players were basically locked up, and Milicic's personal offensive ability was close to zero.

The Warriors could only rely on O'Neal's two hits to survive, while the Blazers Aldridge scored easily and overtook the score.

60:64
Aldridge has scored 20 points and 8 rebounds.

As long as Aldridge's touch continues, the Warriors have no time to care about him. Aldridge is not the kind of jumping guy with a high basketball IQ. The Warriors replaced Jordan to defend him. Within two rounds, Jordan was fouled twice in a row. Jordan's current defense is really a bit brainless.

Before the draft, the media predicted that Jordan would be a lottery pick, but the general managers of the NBA looked down on Jordan, and in the end he could only fall to the second round. Chris Mullin traded Jordan because he wanted Jordan to be a substitute for O'Neal.

At this time, the most test is the coach's on-the-spot command ability. Nelson took a few shots on the tactical board and said: "Now that Aldridge is hot, we must have someone to defend him. The Blazers' tactics are obvious. It is to hit the penalty area and our power forward.

"Sean (Livingston), you have to learn to use your height and arms to defend Roy. It doesn't matter if he breaks through, just don't let him shoot easily. If Roy breaks through, Shaq and Lee must pay attention to assisting defense."

Livingston nodded, looking serious, this was a challenge for him.He was called the "successor of the magician" before. His characteristic is to organize the offense. He has never played the role of a sharp defensive knife, but now he must do it.

Players from both sides returned to the field. Aldridge looked a little ugly when he saw that Li Zhi was defending him. He had a deep understanding of Li Zhi's defense, and his desire to attack was not so strong.

The reason why Aldridge played at the All-Star level just now is that Milicic and Jordan's poor defense accounted for most of the factors.

The Blazers have the ball, and Li Zhi sticks to Aldridge. Roy is a little surprised to see that Aldridge didn't ask for the ball, and then notices that Li Zhi is defending Aldridge, and he can't help but feel relieved.

The pervert finally stopped staring at me.

Li Zhi had been eyeing Roy on the outside line before, as if he wanted to make up for it at any time, so he didn't dare to act rashly.

Roy held the ball and wanted to single-play Livingston. Livingston thought of Nelson's guidance and opened his arms half a step away from Roy. If Roy wanted a jumper, he could jump over to block the shot immediately. If Roy made a breakthrough, he could also hand it over to Li Zhi and O'Neal with peace of mind.

Roy chose to break through, didn't call a screen, and dribbled the ball to the right. At the same time, Fernandez ran to the left and took Jackson away.

Although Livingston broke his leg, he was still hanging on Roy. Roy stopped suddenly again to change his rhythm, dribbled past Livingston behind his back, came to the middle and entered the inside line. Facing the restricted area of ​​Li Zhi and O'Neal, he didn't dare to go deep. He shot a jumper from the free throw line.

O'Neill saw that Roy was breaking ground on Tai Sui's head, let go of Przybilla on the inside line, and directly pushed Roy down.

The ball fouled Roy, but the referee only called a shooting foul. Roy fell hard this time, but his character is not the kind of person who likes conflict, so he got up and walked directly to the free throw line.

Roy was a little irritated by O'Neal's pull, and missed the second goal.

O'Neal got stuck in position to grab a rebound, but was pushed behind by Pulzbilla. This rebound almost broke out in a conflict.

Roy was targeted by O'Neal. I don't care. It doesn't mean that other people in the Blazers don't care. As a villain, Pulzbila is a character who can box with "boxing champion" Tyson Chandry on the basketball court. Naturally, he has means.

He was very concealed, and the referee didn't see it, but O'Neal couldn't afford it. In the process of grabbing a gun and rebounding, he elbowed Pulzby to the ground.

The referee could no longer pretend not to see this time, and directly called O'Neal a malicious foul.

O'Neill spread his hands resentfully, making it clear that he didn't suffer, so he didn't speak any more.Milicic was on the bench, looking thoughtfully at O'Neal's elbow.
