NBA Please Answer 2007

Chapter 163 The Ball Goes In (No.11)
Both teams spent a lot of energy in this game, and Li Zhi, who had a Saiyan physique, was also a little overwhelmed. Li Zhi wiped his eyes and said to Livingston: "Sean, control the time."

Livingston nodded, understanding what Li Zhi meant, if he played fast now, the Blazers would immediately surpass him.

Livingston has the ability to control the rhythm, which Li Zhi knows very well.When the attack time reached eight seconds, Li Zhi ran out of the crowd, Fernandez was blocked by O'Neill and Jackson, and it was Batum who caught up.

Batum is much easier to deal with than Fernandez. Fernandez is a veteran in overseas leagues and has a lot of tricks, while Batum's defense is much more normal. He belongs to the top of the NCAA and is at the average level of the NBA.

Batum also felt the pressure brought by Li Zhi, and was a little powerless.

Li Zhi dribbled the ball to the left and broke through. Batum defended against Li Zhi. Li Zhi dribbled the ball and turned around. The ball was full of beauty, with some Crawford shadows.

Batum didn't expect Li Zhi to make such a sudden move, and he was caught off guard, causing Li Zhi to slip to the bottom line and stare directly at the frame for Pulzbila's layup.

86:83, Li Zhi's 34th point, Roy's 33rd.

Time is running out, the Blazers have to play a quick offense, Roy is looking for opportunities with the ball on the outside, and Aldridge is staring at Li Zhi in the interior.

Roy found the right opportunity, took advantage of Batum's cover, broke through, threw off the defender and entered the inside line.

Li Zhi has no time to care about him, O'Neill must stand up.

O'Neal formed a wall in front of Roy. Roy was not afraid and provoked a floater with a high arc. O'Neal was disturbed, but the ball missed.

Pulzbilla picked up the rebound, but Livingston jumped out from under him and grabbed the rebound.

Livingston was holding the basketball under the pincers of Roy and Pulzbila. Nelson requested a timeout in time. Livingston grabbed the precious rebound, and the Oracle audience cheered.

After a timeout, the point guard became Crawford. Crawford held the ball from the outside.

Pulzbila just hugged O'Neal, and Li Zhi also made a three-pointer.

With the whistle of the referee, Li Zhi scored the goal and Pulzbila fouled. This is a 3+1. But O'Neill is cheap and missed a free throw.

89:83
O'Neill didn't score, but Przybilla was sent off for six fouls. O'Neal gave Przbilla a lesson in this game.

Nelson saw that Pulzby was pulled down, the Blazers replaced Oden, and did not let O'Neal stay on the court. The damn "shark-cutting tactics" made Nelson a little scruples.

In the rematch, with 2 minutes and 30 seconds left, the Warriors led by 6 points.

At this time, Roy was not playing singles. After attracting the defense, he distributed the ball to Aldridge inside.

Aldridge pushed against Li Zhi, aiming at fouling the ball, he swayed it several times in a row, trying to trick Li Zhi into taking off, but Li Zhi didn't follow his trick.

Instead, he waved his hand and broke the basketball in Aldridge's hands. Li Zhi hit the basketball beyond the three-point line, and Roy and Crawford rushed over at the same time.

Roy suddenly slipped at this time, Crawford jumped over Roy stumbled to get the ball, and then ran fast.

Crawford took charge of entering the penalty area, Batum chased after him, and blocked Crawford from behind.

Crawford fell off the court under the influence of inertia, and the ball fell to the Trail Blazers again.

Batum's eyes were red, and he was obviously in the state. In the tenth game of his career, the rookie showed everyone his ability.

With 2 minutes and 07 seconds left, McMillan called a timeout. The atmosphere on the Trail Blazers side was tense. McMillan was talking about tactics, but everyone didn't listen, because the tactics were finally handed over to Roy.

On the Warriors' side, Li Zhi and the others comforted Crawford, who was full of apologies. He was too careless just now.

Nelson was very excited and continued to arrange the following tactics. This critical moment is the best training opportunity for the Warriors and a group of young players.

"Everyone got nervous, there are still 2 minutes left, we have to defend this goal."

O'Neill joked: "It's okay coach, let Li Zhi defend Roy, they will definitely give the ball to Roy, I know McMillan's tactics."

Nelson said with a smile: "Indeed, the Blazers will definitely give the ball to Roy, so our next tactic is to let Roy play singles. Whether he scores or not, we are all ahead. After the attack, we must be fast. Don't give them a chance to breathe!"

Everyone's eyes lit up, and Nelson's tactics were a bit "rebellious". Others would delay time in this situation, but Nelson told the Warriors to play fast.

Li Zhi smiled. He understood Nelson's thoughts. Nelson wanted to use the Warriors' small body to attack the Blazers. The Warriors didn't have much playing time this time.

Sure enough, Nelson replaced Milicic, Barnes, and Morrow next, while Jackson and Li Zhi remained on the court.

"Defense!" The Warriors fans were aggressive, putting great pressure on the Blazers.

Li Zhi was sent to defend Roy, and now it is a duel between two young kings.

McMillan wanted the Blazers to guarantee the success rate, so the Blazers were very young and ran wildly on the court, but they found that they couldn't get rid of the Warriors defenders.

In desperation, Roy could only play one-on-one. Facing Li Zhi, Roy dribbled the ball and checked the time.

1 minutes 55 seconds.

At this time, Aldridge came over and made a pick-and-roll, Barnes followed, and Roy wanted to take the opportunity to get rid of it.He knew that Li Zhi had a strong defense, so he didn't make a strong attack, but instead faced Barnes in a dislocation.

In the last 1 minute and 50 seconds, Roy passed Barnes and made a throw shot inside. The basketball swayed on the rim a few times, and finally rolled into the rim.

89:85
The Warriors had the ball, and Morrow gave the ball directly to Li Zhi. Li Zhi ran wildly while holding the ball. The Blazers thought the Warriors would waste time, but Li Zhi caught him off guard.

There was no screen, no pick-and-roll, Oden didn't get back in place, Aldridge was on the center line, and there were only Roy, Batum, and Fernandez in the frontcourt, and both of them went to the inside. Roy ran inside the left three-point line, and he wanted to intercept Li Zhi.

The fans in the audience were extremely nervous, watching Li Zhi rush to the three-point line and make a shooting action under everyone's gaze.

The Blazers fans in front of the TV yelled "No!"

However, the ball went in.

Li Zhi lived up to the nickname given to him by the fans, he is a tyrant on the court, under all the hot attention, harvesting faith.

92：85，时间仅仅1分45秒，开拓者落后7分。

The Trail Blazers attacked, and Roy did his part. Under the attention of the Oracle Center fans, he hit a three-pointer, bringing the score back to 4 points.

But time is running out, 1 minute and 25 seconds.

It was Li Zhi again, bypassing Fernandez, turning around and passing Batum, and slam dunking in front of the great Auden.

Oden was ashamed, like in the NCAA finals, he stood on the court, but now he was not relaxed, but frightened.

Going back to the defensive end and facing Roy again, the two sides are like two western cowboys. All opponents know that the next moment is either you die or I die.

At 49 seconds into the game, Roy made a drifting three-point shot, but Roy's revolver was obviously not as fast as Li Zhi's. Roy only heard a "pop" in his ear, and Roy was blocked by Li Zhi again.

For the third time, Li Zhi used his defense to resolve the crisis of the Warriors.

There was no further disturbance, and the Warriors won the game without any risk.

Li Zhi scored 42 points, Roy scored 36 points, and the mission was completed.
