NBA Please Answer 2007

Chapter 196 Wheel Battle

In the Rose Garden Arena, countless fans cheered for their home team.Returning to the playoffs after many years, the Blazers fans are hungry, and they left the shouts they owed for many years to this day.

TNT broadcast the game live, and the domestic coverage of the game was CCTV5. In addition, many countries in Europe and South America also paid attention to the game.In the match between the two youth teams in the playoffs, people don't care who wins and who loses, but what they can see from the first playoffs of the two teams.

Live commentary is Charles Barkley, he is very excited today.He said with headphones: "Hearing the shouts here, I can think of how they like their home team. I hope this series can play seven games, because no matter which team I like."

Kenny Smith said with a smile: "The core of the two teams is too young. Ten years later, they will be the Kobe and Pierce of their era. By then, the fans of this team will be even more fanatical."

The game started, players from both sides were on the court, and the Warriors sent O'Neal, Milicic, Li Zhi, Jackson, and Gerald Green.Geraldger has outstanding athletic ability, comprehensive skills, and does a good job defensively.

The Warriors have no orthodox point guard except Livingston, and Li Zhi continued to play the point guard in this game.

On the Blazers side are Przybila, Aldridge, Fernandez, Batum, and Roy.

Fernandez stood opposite Li Zhi, gave Li Zhi a hard look, and said, "My boss will blow you up!" Roy glanced at Li Zhi with sleepy eyes, then turned his head away.

Li Zhi smiled slightly and said, "I don't know if your boss can blow me up, but I will blow you up!"

Fernandez went mad, and Li Zhi hit his pain point, and his career was under Li Zhi's shadow.

At the beginning of the game, Przybilla jumped to basketball, and O'Neal lost half of his ability value, and now he only has the strength of the Heat period.A jump ball made people feel the change of O'Neal.

The Blazers attacked first, Roy took the ball to the frontcourt, and Li Zhi immediately went to defend him.Roy is the strongest spear of the pioneers, and Li Zhi is the strongest shield of the warriors.

Artest's defense particularly emphasizes being close, which can not only reduce consumption, but also organize the ball holder to pull directly.In the regular season, Li Zhi's defense may not be so conspicuous, but in the fierce competition in the playoffs, the less energy he consumes, the more chances he will win.

Roy dribbled the ball laterally, and when everyone thought he was going to single Li Zhi, he passed the ball.The basketball was in the hands of Fernandez, who continued to pass the ball to Aldridge inside.

Milicic stood behind Aldridge. In the regular season, Aldridge scored a lot every time he played against the Warriors. The reason was Milicic's poor defensive attitude, which once caused Nelson a headache.

But in this game, Milicic resisted Aldridge without giving in. Aldridge wanted to turn around and break through, but Milicic put his knee against his leg. His pace was already slow, and now he can only turn around and shoot.

In the league, Aldridge's turn and breakthrough is ranked among the top few, but this time Milicic defended in place and blocked Aldridge's sight with his long arm.O'Neal grabbed the backcourt rebound in due course.

As soon as O'Neal got the rebound, Li Zhi, Jackson and Gerald Green immediately made a fast break. O'Neal passed to Jackson, and Jackson passed to Li Zhi from the center line.

The Warriors' tactics are defensive counterattacks and three-pointers. This is the Warriors' winning decision this season.This season, whether O'Neal and Jordan Jr. are the best inside combination, the rebounds rank fourth in the league, and the number of shots ranks first in the league. As long as the defense is successful, the three outsiders will quickly break fast.

Li Zhi passed to Gerald Green, Batum made up the defense, and Gerald Green passed back again.Li Zhi, who was running, had already come to the penalty area, caught the ball and dunked it directly.

2:0
Li Zhi's speed is too fast. This season, he scored a lot of points by relying on air cuts and breakthroughs. During fast breaks and air cuts, the defenders couldn't react. Li Zhi took advantage of this time to complete the score.

The Blazers were attacking, but they still handed the ball to Roy. Roy was not in a hurry to score, and waited for Batum and Fernandez to run tactics.

Batum threw off Gerald Green, received the ball from outside the three-point line, Jackson made up the defense, Batum immediately made a throw pass, and the basketball was transferred to Alder in the inside.Alder took the ball and took off directly, without giving Milicic a chance to react.

2:2
The Blazers reused him in the first season and wanted to train him into Stephen Jackson of the Blazers. Three-pointers and defense were the reasons why he was selected in the lottery.

However, after being mentioned as a starter in the second half, Batum showed more ability to transfer the ball. Although there are not many assists, many scores are due to Batum's large-scale transfer of the ball.

Milicic was a little depressed and slammed the basketball to the ground.

O'Neill said: "Don't worry, it's fine if you don't get blown up." Milicic nodded and passed the ball to Li Zhi.

As soon as Li Zhi dribbled the ball across the center line, he was pressed by Fernandez and almost made a mistake by Fernandez. Li Zhi staggered to control the ball and crossed the half-court, and Fernandez proudly challenged Li Zhi.

Fernandez's half-court press is very clever, and Li Zhi's speed is notoriously fast. Once Li Zhi is allowed to accelerate from the backcourt to cross the half-court, Fernandez will not be able to keep up with Li Zhi.Fernandez is close to the body and can slow down Li Zhi as much as possible. When he reaches the frontcourt, he can't directly break fast. The Warriors can only play positional battles honestly.

When Li Zhi took advantage of Fernandez's complacency, he stepped away from Fernandez and rushed into the three-point line. Batum had to switch defenses. Jackson took the opportunity to move to a high position. Batum could only stretch out his hand, not daring to let go of Jackson.

Misplaced attack, Li Zhi singled Roy. 198cn vs. 205cm, Li Zhi grew two centimeters taller in these two seasons, coupled with his amazing wingspan, gave Li Zhi a huge advantage over the shorter Roy.

Li Zhi smiled slightly, and directly provoked the shot. Roy stretched out his hand. He knew he couldn't reach Li Zhi, so he could only make defensive moves tentatively.

4:2
The Blazers attacked, and Aldridge went to a high position to screen, but his screen effect was not good. Milicic was told by Nelson before the game that if Aldridge goes to pick and roll, just stick to him and prevent the shot from being shot. Don't worry about Aldridge making an air cut.Ade's pace is slow, and the effect of air cutting has not been good.

Milicic resisted Adelaide, Adelaide missed the shot, and passed the ball directly to Roy.Roy singles Li Zhi on the right.

In this game, Nelson wanted to use Li Zhi to limit Roy, and Li Zhi marked Roy throughout the game, the strongest end point for the Blazers.If Li Zhi's defensive effect is good, the Blazers will lose their strongest singles star.

The best way to defend is not to interfere with the opponent's every shot, but to make the opponent lose his touch. Li Zhi squeezed Roy beyond the three-point line, and Roy could only break through. This position is looking for death.

Li Zhi left Roy and gave him the jumper position.Li Zhi has a long wingspan and is taller than Roy. In this position, as long as Roy shoots, Li Zhi can jump up and block the shot.Roy is also helpless. If it were someone else, he would have done it long ago.

Roy dribbles and the Blazers pull away.Li Zhi kept moving his feet and opened his arms to prevent Roy from stepping past him.

Roy changed direction and wanted to break through from Li Zhi's left hand. This is Roy's usual breakthrough. He has not lost his meniscus yet, and the first step is to open a large position.

Li Zhi studied Roy's breakthrough before the game, and when Roy started dribbling, he remembered to guard against his move.Li Zhi followed Roy, and Roy went outside the penalty area, accelerated again, raised the basketball with his right hand, and shot it.

This is not Roy's good layup posture. Li Zhi's strength made him deformed in the air.Can't get close to the basket, and Roy can't use the drawbar he is good at, which is really a bit reluctant.

Milicic's eyes lit up when he saw Roy's throw, and he provoked interference. His fingers touched the basketball, causing the basketball to lose its arc in the air. Li Zhi took the opportunity to catch the basketball.

Milicic's timing skills have really improved. In the past, as long as the breakthrough was close, he would jump up and block the block. In most cases, what he got in exchange was not a successful defense, but a foul.

The tactics Nelson arranged were all to deal with Roy. Li Zhi's single defense against Roy was the first gate, Jackson's supplementary defense was the second gate, and Milicic interfered in the penalty area. All the arrangements were to prevent Roy from taking easy shots.

If Roy passes the ball, there will be unlimited defense changes outside. Batum and Fernandez can score, but they have never scored high scores, so there is nothing to worry about.

In addition, the Warriors' offense is also a pick-and-roll. No matter who Roy is defending, Li Zhi has a way to appear in front of Roy.If others know Nelson's tactics, they will definitely scold him for being crazy. This is simply targeting Roy as Kobe.

Li Zhi held the ball outside the three-second zone on the baseline, and Gerald Green threw away Roy and made an air cut towards the inside.As soon as he rushed up, Li Zhi immediately passed the ball, and Gerald Green did not hesitate to stick to Roy for a layup.

6:2
The Warriors started three-for-three and gained the advantage.The advantage of the Warriors is that they have a large number of people. They are no longer the Warriors who were short of major generals last season, so Nelson dared to play this tactic of all soldiers, treating everyone as a consumable to consume Roy.

Oh...not right, even if there are not many Warriors, Nelson will choose this tactic. After all, the old scientist is a well-known tactical lunatic in the NBA. He averaged 39 minutes per game in the first season last season. This matter was criticized by experts.

However, the playoffs are different from the regular season. No one questioned Nelson's tactics in the playoffs. Although this tactic is a bit rogue, using the wheel to fight against Roy, as long as they win, this is not a problem.
