Chapter 200 Attack!equalize

Li Zhi made two assists and the Warriors scored consecutively. Fernandez couldn't sit still. He couldn't let Li Zhi go on so arrogantly.

He has always regarded himself as "Li Zhi's old enemy". If McMillan hadn't stopped him, he would have scored more in the first two games.

On the offensive end, Fernandez decided to play singles after getting the ball. He is not the main defensive point of the Warriors and has many opportunities.It was Moreau who was defending him, and he felt that he had dealt with it.

Fernandez dribbled the ball under his crotch for a show operation, made an emergency stop jumper at a low 45-degree angle, and scored with cricket.

9:2, Fernandez plays like a star. Blazers fans like him very much. If there is no Roy and Aldridge, he may be the core of the Blazers.

The Warriors came to the frontcourt, Li Zhi held the ball in a high position, and Aldridge did not defend. Their tactics were very clear. The core of the outside defense was Fernandez. Li Zhi was close to the penalty area, and Aldridge would defend.

Li Zhi dribbled the ball and ran to the right. Fernandez chased him and was about to lose Li Zhi. Fernandez pulled Li Zhi, and Li Zhi took the opportunity to throw the basketball.The referee whistled, a shooting foul, and two free throws.

Li Zhi made a free throw and the score came to 11:2
Li Zhi opened it, which is what Nelson wants to see. All the tactics of the Warriors depend on Li Zhi. Only when Li Zhi plays, the Warriors' tactics will take effect.

"Don't be impulsive! Stick to him and stick to him! What's your brain for?" McMillan reprimanded loudly from the sidelines.

Fernandez really wanted to beat McMillan once, he yelled in his heart: "You f*ck try to defend yourself, I can keep up with him and still foul?"

He has been defending Li Zhi in the past few games. This is a difficult defensive task, but he can't admit that he is cowardly, which will make Li Zhi look down on him.Fernandez was actually a little powerless, he could see that Li Zhi was in good condition today.

Six minutes into the first quarter, 6:15.
Li Zhi took the ball and singled Fernandez from the outside, then went to the inside, Fernandez defended, and Aldridge assisted in the defense and blocked the block.Li Zhi didn't make a layup, and Aldridge and Fernandez were crowded under the basket. Li Zhi didn't ask for trouble, and directly passed the ball to Nick Young with his left hand.

Nick Young ran out of space, caught the ball and made a drift.After making a three-pointer, Nick Young kept his shooting posture and looked at his shooting hand in surprise, which made the fans excited.

After hitting this three-pointer, he has scored 9 points in this quarter.When Li Zhi is in good condition, the shooters will have a chance to double-team and pass the ball to his teammates. Li Zhi will attract the defense, and everyone else will have space.

It is a bit wasteful for Milicic to play as a substitute, but his style of play is indeed suitable for playing as a substitute.Without Li Zhi, Crawford and Milicic are in the hands of the basketball in the substitute lineup. With the ball, the two of them can play their power.Nelson believes that this game can be won, and the Warriors have found a way to restrain the Blazers.

The Blazers have to defend the Warriors' three-pointer, but no matter how they defend, the two corners will always be missed.Man-to-man, Fernandez, who was assigned to defend Li Zhi, did not defend well this time, and defending Li Zhi alone is tantamount to giving the Warriors points.

Roy showed his power, played low singles, passed Nick Young and turned around for a jumper. 18:14.
The Warriors attacked, Li Zhi received the ball, paused and then suddenly changed direction. It was such an action that Fernandez was swayed. Fernandez stood up. Li Zhi had already broken through to the basket and dunked with both hands in response. 20:14.
The Trail Blazers let Channing Frye start really let them have a good offensive performance, but his defense is not as good as Przybilla, Przbilla is a meat shield, and the defensive effect is worse than Frye.

When the Blazers attacked, Fernandez saw that the opponent was Li Zhi, and began to choose to break through crazily.

But no matter how he changed direction and dribbled, Li Zhi remained unmoved. Fernandez got hot-headed and directly pulled out, but was interfered by Li Zhi and missed the shot.

O'Neill took the backcourt rebound and handed it to Jackson to advance.

McMillan yelled at the sidelines: "What are you doing? Who told you to play singles? Didn't you see Aldridge hit Jackson in a misplaced position?"

Fernandez pretended not to hear, and walked directly beside McMillan, and he replied in his heart: "I just pretended to compare, and I really didn't see it."

There was a problem with the Blazers' offense. Roy played singles, and other players had to wait for their chances. Their running positions were not as good as the Warriors.As long as it comes to the singles session between Roy and Fernandez, this is a one-man show.

Roy scored 15 points in a single quarter, and Li Zhi was even better, with 12 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists, heading straight for a triple-double.After the first quarter, the Warriors lead the Blazers 37:31.

In the second quarter, the Trail Blazers still had the previous bench lineup, but the Warriors changed.David Lee, Milicic, Gerald Green, Crawford, Livingston.

Livingston bullied Stephen Blake with his height and hit consecutive mid-range shots.The Warriors played well on offense, but the Blazers' offense was not smooth. Batum's two shots were interfered by Gerald Green, and Fernandez did not get cheap from Crawford.

The Blazers couldn't open the outside line, so they could only hand the ball to Pulzbyla inside. It was even more difficult for him to score. Milicic and David Lee double-teamed.On the contrary, David Lee played impressively, and cooperated with Milicic, and shot cold arrows in the middle distance for several consecutive rounds.Not to mention Crawford's ability to shoot in chaotic battles, Fernandez put all his energy on Crawford, resulting in weak offense.

Fernandez scolded McMillan's tactics in his heart: "Why am I also defending the bench lineup? I'm a f*cking star!"

McMillan knew that the Warriors' second lineup was strong, so he wanted the starters to take a short break and play quickly, but he didn't expect that the Blazers' bench lineup didn't last even 5 minutes.

The Warriors' bench lineup is fast, while the Blazers can only keep up with the rhythm of the Warriors on the outside, and the two big men on the inside can only do switchbacks on the court.

McMillan couldn't help calling a timeout, let Aldridge and Roy play, and replaced Przybilla and Fernandez, wanting to strengthen the offense.Nelson was not in a hurry to replace Li Zhi, but replaced David Lee with Jr. Jordan.Defensively, this lineup is not weak.

Aldridge was majestic. Under Li Zhi's interference in the first quarter, he didn't feel good. Facing Milicic, he scored two goals in a row to stop the Blazers from bleeding, but looking at the big score, the point difference widened instead.

The small lineup of the Warriors was like a whirlwind, and immediately scrambled for rebounds when they missed a hit. Gerald Green and David Lee were both good rebounders, jumping higher than Frye and Aldridge, and grabbed offensive rebounds several times.The shooting percentage is not high, but the number of shots is high. Most of them are three-pointers, and they widened the point difference to 16 points in the second quarter.

Crawford is like a bankrupt version of Li Zhi, relying on pick-and-rolls to break into the interior continuously, and the interior defense is poor, which is also the weakness of the Blazers.

Nelson looked at Crawford and nodded again and again. He is the same type of player as Jason Terry, born for the sixth man.With a good substitute, Nelson was not in a hurry to play Li Zhi, but McMillan couldn't sit still.

Gerald Green and Lin Wenston took turns to restrict Roy, and Milicic was ready to help defend at any time, and worked together to consume Roy like the first game.

Roy made a shot and passed the ball to Aldridge, but the Warriors went crazy off the bench, relying on their speed to double-team Aldridge, making Aldridge feel cold.

With 3 minutes remaining in the second quarter, Nelson replaced Li Zhi, who had had enough rest, with the Blazers chasing the score to 12 points and replaced him as the starter.

The Warriors continued their tactics in the first quarter, Li Zhi maintained a good touch, and the players created singles opportunities for Li Zhi from the outside.When Fernandez came to defend Li Zhi again, he didn't dare to relax so easily.Roy didn't dare to help defend, Li Zhi passed Fernandez and scored.

No one came to help defend, Li Zhi played infinite singles, assisted in defense, just passed the ball, and resolutely shot three-pointers from the outside.

第二节结束的时候，李治压哨命中一记三分球。68：51，勇士已经领先17分。李治18分7篮板6助攻，接近三双。

When Li Zhi left the field, he applauded with his teammates one by one. As long as the fight continues like this, the Warriors will surely win the game.

While the Warriors were celebrating, the Blazers were not in harmony.

Fernandez couldn't bear McMillan's preaching, so he pushed McMillan directly. The photographer took a picture of this scene, which attracted many people's comments.

The outside world criticized Fernandez's unruly behavior. McMillan brought the Blazers into the top three in the Western Conference this season, and he was in the limelight. Fernandez's impulsive behavior caused him to lose many fans.

However, some people blamed McMillan, who is also a coach. When the Warriors fell into adversity in the first two games, Nelson took all the responsibility. In an interview, he said that everything was his own tactical error, but McMillan pushed everything to the players.

In the third quarter, Fernandez was indeed abandoned by McMillan. Without Fernandez, Li Zhi broke through even more resolutely.As for the Trail Blazers, Roy was also stimulated by McMillan. In the second half, Li Zhi and Roy played crazy singles. Li Zhi and Roy took on the offensive tasks of the two teams, and the third quarter became a performance of the two.

McMillan did not arrange for someone to double-team Li Zhi, nor did he request a timeout, but let the players adjust freely on the court. Others seemed to be inscrutable McMillan, but in fact he really had no choice.

Roy scored 18 points in the third quarter, but the Blazers could not recover the score after all, and entered the third quarter with a 12-point difference.

In the fourth quarter, Milicic and Crawford were put on the court again, and Barnes, who had been inactive throughout the game, was also not sent on the court. He was responsible for defending Roy.

Roy played three quarters and only rested for 5 minutes. Now he faced Barnes, who was full of energy, and didn't have many opportunities after being entangled. In the fourth quarter, he missed 4 consecutive shots. The Warriors took the opportunity to open the score.

With four minutes to go and the Warriors leading by 4, McMillan gave up, but Roy insisted on getting back on the court.Roy played until the end of the game and recovered 20 points. The Blazers still lost.

罗伊拿到40分5篮板5助攻，全场得分最高。李治拿到30分10篮板10助攻的三双数据，勇士六人得分上双，之前机会不多的大卫李这场比赛拿下10分，尼克杨三分球8中5拿下15分。

Before the game, many people thought that the Warriors went to Portland with a 1:3 disadvantage after this game, but the result was surprising.According to this momentum, the Warriors have a chance to win the battle of Tianwangshan.

At the post-match press conference, McMillan said: "I'm not worried about the next game. The Warriors made a lot of three-pointers in this game. I don't believe they can maintain such a touch in the next game."

The reporters don't think so, McMillan seems to really have no choice.Fernandez didn't listen to the command, and Roy didn't listen to his unauthorized entry in the fourth quarter. The reporters couldn't believe that McMillan wasn't worried at all.

The reason why the Warriors can win, in addition to the Warriors' many offensive points, is also the main reason for McMillan's inaction.

When the Blazers won the Warriors in the first two games, not only the fans, but even McMillan himself believed that the game would be won, so he did not make much adjustments. After the Warriors showed such a strong offense, McMillan could only pin all his hopes on the players.
