Chapter 162: You Go Defend Roy

The Trail Blazers attacked, Roy once again held the ball and singled, facing a small steel cannon with only 185, Roy dribbled behind his back and squeezed it directly.

Shorter than Roy, Lowry had no choice but to use his speed to follow Roy behind, and the small tricks he learned from Jackson were used at this time.

Roy only felt a pain in his lower back, and his movements were a little deformed, but he still controlled the ball and made a layup, he jumped up, and Li Zhi pounced directly from the side.

Li Zhi had been watching Roy's movements with his peripheral vision, and at this time, his hands were raised high, squeezing Roy with his body, and Roy only felt his body fall backwards.

The ball was dropped on the rebound and didn't go in.

Li Zhi's action was actually a bit excessive, but the referee missed one of the Trailblazers just now, and at this time he also returned one to the Warriors, and he didn't blow it.

Purzbilla, who was used as a meat shield, had enough tonnage to jam O'Neal and prevent him from grabbing the rebound, and Aldridge picked up the rebound and made a direct basket, causing a foul on Barnes.

Barnes did the dirty work with the Warriors, which is why the Warriors extended his contract this summer, but the defensive scale is far from enough.

Aldridge hit both free throws, 12-10, and the difference was only two points.

The Warriors attacked, Li Zhi held the ball, and the Trail Blazers' 122 joint defense position handed Li Zhi to Fernandez to deal with alone.

Fernandez scolded the bastard, and his hands were very fast, blocking all of Li Zhi's breakthrough routes. Li Zhi didn't force the play, and passed to Barnes, who missed a three-point shot, and the rebound was again obtained by the Trail Blazers.

O'Neal didn't grab the rebound, and Li Zhi hurriedly urged the Warriors to return to defense. The Trail Blazers handed the ball to Roy, who shook off Lowry and rushed to the Warriors halfcourt.

Li Zhi chased closely, and in terms of speed, Li Zhi still had an advantage, so a one-on-one situation was formed between Roy and Li Zhi in the Warriors half.

Seeing that he couldn't shake off Li Zhi, Roy switched his rhythm in the middle distance, and continued to dribble under his crotch to shake off Li Zhi. Li Zhi was amused when he saw it, this trick was very similar to Kobe's breakthrough, Li Zhi often used it, so it was not passed.

And after a long time, the players who returned to the Warriors defense were already in place, and Roy was indignant in his heart, and did not choose to pass, but directly pulled out.

Roy is 198 tall, shorter than Li Zhi, this choice is really unwise, and Li Zhi's arm span is perverted, which directly interferes with Roy's shooting.

Roy made a beautiful move, but the ball didn't go in.

After Li Zhi landed, he grabbed the rebound directly and turned to pass to Jackson.

The Trailblazers deserve to be a well-trained youth army, and if they missed a goal, the whole team immediately returned to defense.

Jackson held the ball quickly and distributed it directly to the ensuing Rich, who then passed to the arriving Lowry, who made an inside layup and was blocked by Aldridge.

The Trail Blazers attacked, Roy was not willful this round, handed the ball to Ade, this time Ade did not show his footsteps, turned cleanly to open the distance, and shot in the middle.

12:12

The Trail Blazers scored six points in a row, and the two sides returned to the same running line again.

Kenny Smith said: "The Warriors are a little bit iron, and the Trail Blazers' defensive intensity is coming up. ”

Barkley said: "Li Zhi should be singles at this time, he is a star, why not come yourself!" ”

Kenny Smith said: "The Warriors' system dictates that he can't shoot recklessly, and only passing the ball can make their system work. ”

Barkley pouted and said: "But the star should stand up when the team is behind, otherwise what do you want the star to do, which one of Kobe, Maddy, or Iverson didn't do that?" ”

As if hearing Barkley's words, Lee stepped up when the Warriors collectively didn't feel good.

The Trail Blazers defended O'Neal and the Warriors defended Aldridge, which turned into a battle between Lee and Roy, which is what fans want to see.

After O'Neill and Li Zhi blocked and dismantled, Li Zhi broke through on the outside. When the feel is not good, there is only a breakthrough.

The Trail Blazers decided to let Fernandez and Li Zhi one-on-one, Fernandez single defense, although his courage was commendable, but his physical fitness was too far behind Li Zhi, and Li Zhi used the speed advantage to break through directly and score two points.

A few minutes later, Li Zhi passed Fernandez again in the same way, and Fernandez was so angry that he pulled Li Zhi when Li Zhi made a layup, and sent Li Zhi to the free throw line.

Infected by O'Neal, Li Zhi made two free throws and one hit.

In this way, at the end of the first quarter, Li Zhi hit a three-pointer to overtake the score.

At 25:22, back and forth, the Warriors relied on Li Zhi's whistle and led by three points.

In the second quarter, both sides changed to the bench, and Oden didn't play long in the first quarter, and when he came back to face a group of Warriors benches, he showed the demeanor that the champion should have.

The parallel top player hit the parallel trade list, and Oden knocked out Milicic.

Commentator Barkley saw Milicic's performance and couldn't help but joke: "The Warriors performed well in the first quarter, but the bench in the second quarter was not good, especially Milicic, is this guy a?" Why don't you dare to go into the box when defending? ”

Kenny Smith said: "Milicic is really the weak link in the Warriors' lineup, he is too soft, he is afraid of confrontation, maybe the Warriors should strengthen their power forward position." ”

Kenny Smith said that this is also a problem that the Warriors management is thinking about now, but the good power forwards have been stolen by other teams, and some fans can't help but miss their big forward El Arlington last season, although that guy is alone, but compared to Milicic, it is much better.

Oden played several rounds in a row, found his confidence, and began to exert himself.

Nelson called a timeout at the right time, the Warriors replaced the main team, and after the Trail Blazers took the main team, the hot Oden also continued to stay on the court.

Li Zhi was still thinking about his task, picking up the ball was a single, relying on O'Neal's blocking, Li Zhi broke through to the penalty area, and in the face of Oden, who changed defense, Li Zhi passed sideways and scored two points.

Two minutes later, Richie broke through again, causing Oden to foul on the inside and hit both free throws.

The second quarter ended quickly, and Li Zhi scored 9 points again in a single quarter, plus the first quarter, a total of 17 points, the Warriors 56:54, continuing to lead by two points.

Back in the locker room, the Warriors didn't let up as a team, and Nelson pointed out the problem.

Now the Trail Blazers' defense can't limit Li Zhi and O'Neal, and the Warriors haven't been able to limit the fiery Ade and Roy, the small steel cannon against Roy is too bad, Nelson tried to let Li Zhi defend Roy in the second quarter, and the effect is good, but Li Zhi doesn't have much energy on offense.

Nelson slammed down, looking at Shaun Livingston, who had never played, and his eyes were full of surprise.

"Sean, you defend Roy in the second half!"

Sean Livingston was in high spirits and said loudly, "Don't worry, Coach." But Lowry's face changed, and he felt a hint of crisis.
