Chapter 163: Shark Elbow Strike

At the start of the second half, the players returned to the field.

The Warriors continued to use man-to-man compression defense, and looking at the lineup on the court, many were surprised that Nelson was on Livingston, the guy with the broken leg.

"Didn't Nelson Mo have a bad brain and actually used Livingston, is there no one for the Warriors?" That's what many Trail Blazers fans think.

Roy frowned imperceptibly, and he found that Livingston was not as weak as everyone thought. At least Livingston has a height of 201cm, which gives him an advantage against Roy.

The Trail Blazers continued to hand the ball to Roy, who tentatively made a triple-threatening pose, leaving Livingston expressionless. Roy has a lot of offensive means, but against a taller Livingston, many offensive methods are greatly reduced, such as his favorite pull-up jumper.

Roy didn't force the ball and passed the ball to Batum, who caught the ball and made a jumper that went wide of Jackson's interference. He's not a pure pitcher, and he's better at defending right now.

In the next round, Jackson's jumper was deflected wide by Batum's interference, and the youngster used his performance to give Jackson, a martial saint, a look.

The Trail Blazers countered and dropped the ball to the inside, and Aldridge singled Milicic.

Aldridge had a very high shooting percentage in this game, his low-post offensive tools were abundant, and Milicic was not physically dominant.

Milicic can't say what he is suffering from, Aldridge leans on Milicic, turns around and jumps on the baseline, and scores the ball again, this game has unknowingly scored 18 points, you know, this is only the beginning of the third quarter, and his average points per game this season is only 18.1 points.

The Warriors can't wrap up, and once they wrap up Aldridge, others get their chances, and once the inside-outside combination opens, they're no match for the Trail Blazers.

Nelson tried to let O'Neal go to the opposite Aldridge, but it was a way to kill 1,000 enemies and lose 800, let O'Neal defend, and the energy on the offensive end would be all on Li Zhi.

This season, the Trail Blazers can reach the second place in the West, relying on the internal and external strengths of Roy and Aldridge, and the loss is because one of them is dumb, this tactic is very similar to the Rockets' Yao Mai combination.

The Trail Blazers played a single game and a block, and the Warriors were very uncomfortable, and the tactics were simple but effective. Once you can't defend it, you will also suffer offensively, Batum and Fernandez take special care of Li Zhi, Li Zhi's every shot is very difficult, and he can't shoot outside, so he can only hand the ball to O'Neal in the low post to deal with.

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

The Warriors could only survive on O'Neal's two hits, while the Trail Blazer's Aldridge scored easily to overtake the score.

60:64

Aldridge has 20 points and eight rebounds.

As long as Aldridge's hand continues, the Warriors have no time to take care of him, Aldridge is not the kind of jumping man, the basketball IQ is very high, the Warriors replaced Jordan Jr. to defend him, Jordan Jr. was fouled twice in a row within two rounds, Jordan Jr.'s current defense is really a bit brainless.

Before the draft, the media predicted that Jordan Jr. would be a lottery pick, but the general managers of the NBA did not look down on Jordan Jr., and in the end he could only fall to the second round.

At this time, the most test is the head coach's on-the-spot command ability, Nelson slapped a few times on the tactical board, and said: "Now Aldridge is hot, we must have someone to defend him, the Trail Blazers' tactics are obvious, that is, to play the restricted area, play our big forward, Li Zhi went to the opposite Aldridge after playing." Jackson and Nick Young went against Fernandez and Batum, with Nick defending Batum's threes and then we had to look for opportunities to shoot threes. ”

"Sean (Livingston), you have to learn to use your height and arms to defend Roy, it's okay for him to break through, don't let him shoot easily. If Roy breaks through, Shaq and Lee will have to pay attention to the defense. ”

Livingston nodded, his face solemn, it was a challenge for him. Previously known as the "Magician Successor", he was characterized by organizing offenses and not playing the role of a defensive knife, but now he has to do it.

The players on both sides returned to the field, Aldridge saw that it was Li Zhi who was defending him, his face was a little ugly, Li Zhi's defense he deeply understood, and the desire to attack was not so strong.

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

The Trail Blazers had the ball, Li Zhi was attached to Aldridge, Roy was a little surprised to see that Aldridge did not ask for the ball, and then noticed that Li Zhi went to defend Aldridge, and he couldn't help but feel a little more relaxed.

This pervert finally stopped staring at me.

Li Zhi had been eyeing Roy on the outside before, and he seemed to be on guard at any time, so he didn't dare to act rashly.

Roy holds the ball and wants to single Livingston, Livingston thinks about Nelson's guidance, opens his arms and walks half a step away from Roy, if Roy wants to jump shot, he can jump over and block immediately, and if Roy breaks through, he can also hand it over to Li Zhi and O'Neal to deal with it with peace of mind.

Roy chose to break through, didn't call cover, dribbled to the right side under his crotch, and at the same time, Fernandez ran to the left and took Jackson with him.

Although Livingston broke his leg, he still hung Roy, Roy stopped again to change the rhythm, dribbled past Livingston behind his back, came to the middle to kill the inside, faced the penalty area of Li Zhi and O'Neal, did not dare to go deeper, and made a jump shot at the free throw line.

O'Neill saw Roy breaking ground on Tai Sui's head, let go of Purzbilla on the inside, and directly pressed Roy down.

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

Roy was pulled by O'Neill, and he was a little irritable and didn't score the second goal.

O'Neal got stuck in position to grab the rebound, and was pushed behind by Purzbilla, and the battle for this rebound almost broke out.

Roy was targeted by O'Neal, he didn't care, it doesn't mean that the rest of the Trail Blazers don't care, Pullsbilla, as a villain, is a figure who can boxing with "boxing king" Tyson Chandry on the basketball court, and naturally has the means.

He was very hidden this time, and the referee didn't see it, but O'Neal couldn't afford to lose and in the process of grabbing the gun rebound, he elbowed Purzbila to the ground.

The referee couldn't pretend not to see it this time, and directly blew O'Neal for a malicious foul.

O'Neill smumbled his stall hands, making it clear that he had not suffered a loss, so he didn't speak again. Milicic was on the bench, watching O'Neill's elbow thoughtfully.
