The Suns attacked, and Richie went to defend Nash again. This time the Stoudemire cover was useless, and Li Zhi went around the cover extremely fast and faced Nash again.

Nash couldn't break through Richie, and walked around on the outside waiting for the other Suns players to run for an opportunity. Richardson started running from the bottom left corner and rounded the box to just outside the right-hand three-point line. Nash saw the opportunity and immediately passed it, Richardson received the ball and shot directly, and Jackson ran over to interfere.

Richardson was saved, his shot was missed, Jordan Jr. grabbed the rebound, and the Warriors launched a fast break again.

This shot became the turning point of the first quarter, and the Warriors directly controlled the rhythm after that. Li Zhi's single defense against Nash was effective, and the Suns' tactics of using Nash as the starting point were all ineffective. Nash passed the ball the next few times, but the rest of the Suns didn't take their chances.

In desperation, the Suns could only let Stoudemire play alone inside, and Jordan Jr.'s defense of Stoudemire was not good, but at least it didn't make Stoudemire explode.

It was Channingfrye who unexpectedly exploded, hitting two three-pointers from the outside. This gave Gentry some relief that they had made the right decision. During the regular season media day, Gentry said that the Suns' starting center was not Robin Lopez but Channing Fry.

Channingfrye's shooting from the outside helped Stoudemire take the pressure off of it, and after Bidrings left, Stoudemire was given more space on the inside, which was beneficial for his play.

In the playoffs last season, Fry survived in the Trail Blazers, Purzbilla suffered a loss in defense of O'Neal, Frye became a wonder soldier, and in the center position, Frye scored more points than O'Neal in those games, and it is no wonder that the Suns value him so much. Defensively, Frye is not as bad as the outside world says, with a height of 211cm, a weight of 113kg, excellent jumping, flexible footwork, and most center forwards do not suffer.

But in this game, Channing Fry still became the Suns' defensive colander, and a jumping man like Jordan Jr. just restrained him. Curry gave him two open picks, and Jordan Jr. blew up a way for the Warriors on the inside.

At the end of the first quarter, the Warriors led the Suns by eight points, 32-24.

Li Zhi scored 9 points, 2 rebounds and 1 assist, and his performance was eye-catching. Curry had 6 points and 3 assists, Jordan Jr. had 4 points and 4 rebounds, and the Warriors' three cores were doing well.

In the second quarter, the main team rested and came off the bench. The Warriors ruled out Crawford, Beverley, Barnes, Yi Jianlian, and Anderson.

On the Suns are Dragic, Barbossa, Dudley, Amundersen, Robin López. Dragic and Barbosa form a double guard, relying on Barbosa to break through on offense and steal the board on the inside.

But Robin Lopez played two minutes before being replaced by Gentry, who didn't like Robin López and continued to replace it with Channingfrye. Robin Lopez and his older brother Brook Lopez look about the same, but their playing styles are completely different.

Brother Brook Lopez plays with his brain, belongs to the technical stream, can be strong on the inside, and has a certain projection ability on the outside, although he has been criticized for his soft playing style, but he is also a seedling of a first-class center. Robin Lopez is much lower than his brother, and he is a low-profile version of Little Jordan, his offense relies on dunks, and his quality in all aspects such as bounce is not as good as that of Little Jordan.

When Robin Lopez got off the court, the Suns mascot Gorilla ran over and hugged Lopez, Robin Lopez was in a bad mood and knocked out the gorilla with one punch, which caused the fans to burst into laughter.

Gentry looked at Robin Lopez and was annoyed, impulsive, played without using his brain, and had sex with the mascot, what future could such a player have?

Li Zhi saw the depressed Robin Lopez on the sidelines, and he couldn't help but have an urge to bring Robin Lopez over. Now Lopez is not reused in the Suns, but he can be regarded as a qualified blue-collar center in the future, and it is not bad to be a substitute for Jordan Jr.

However, seeing the scene of Lopez knocking out the mascot, Li Zhi gave up on the idea. Brains are a good thing, but it's a pity that López doesn't.

Channing Fry came on the field, and the two teams played off the bench. Crawford and Yi Jianlian are the two offensive initiators of the bench lineup, and the others can just defend. However, the UAE is still a little hesitant and misses a lot of good opportunities, but there is no way, he still needs a process of adaptation, or an outburst, to build self-confidence.

Barkley said: "The Warriors are too dependent on Lee Zhi now, and without Lee Zhi, the offense can't play and they can't break the bag. Although Crawford can score points with the substitute, his hand is too convulsive, and the feeling of this game is not good, and no one can help him on the bench. ”

Kenny Smith said: "In the first quarter, Li Zhi was very well packed, but fortunately, the Suns players' single defense ability was not very good, and Li Zhi was not too tightly packed. Now the bench lineup, the Sun is also a bag, Crawford passed the ball, Yi Jianlian couldn't grasp the opportunity. ”

While the two commentators were talking, Channingfry, who had just come on the court, hit a three-pointer, and the score was tied.

Su Qun saw Frye and said with a look of pity: "Frye's kind of space-type interior line should come to the Warriors, if it is not Anderson who cooperates with the UAE, but Frye, now the UAE will definitely have more opportunities." ”

Yu Jia agreed: "Yes, except for the UAE and Crawford, the Warriors bench is all playing soy sauce roles offensively, all relying on the point guard organization, but Crawford is not that kind of person." ”

Clearly, the two finishers have attributed the poor performance of the UAE to the Warriors' bench players......

Four minutes into the second quarter, Neil called a timeout and replaced the main man. Lee could feel that Crawford was a little weak, he could score, but he also needed support. Crawford scored six points in the second quarter, but the Warriors were tied by the Suns.

The effect of Rich's appearance was obvious, and the Warriors regained the lead, and at the end of the first half, the Warriors led the Suns by four points.

Rich, Curry, and Jordan Jr. led the Warriors to play crazy bombardment tactics, and David Lee also played an efficient offense. The Suns and Warriors fought hard to attack, but the defense could not keep up with the intensity of the Warriors, and after the third quarter, the Warriors entered the fourth quarter with an 8-point advantage.

Li Zhi had 29 points, 3 assists and 2 rebounds, and Curry had 14 points and 7 assists, and a double-double was not far away. Nash, the core of the Suns, only had 9 points and 6 assists, and was disoriented by Lee's defense.

Curry played half a quarter and was swapped. So far, he has 17 points and 9 assists, but in the decisive moment, Nelson didn't play him, but Beverley. Curry looked at it, pouted and walked away.

Beverley, Jackson, Barnes, Jordan Jr., plus Rich, this is the lineup of the Warriors in the decisive moment.

Suns fans were excited as they battled the defending champions to the end, with Stoudemire erupting in the third quarter and blowing up Jordan Jr. Li Zhi looked at the reveling Phoenix people and returned to the field with a blank face. Li Zhi played a role as soon as he came on the court, and two three-pointers extended the margin to 10 points.

The Suns' sharp offense was consumed by the Warriors' "death defense" lineup, Li Zhi didn't defend Nash, Nash couldn't be easy, and Beverley made another contribution at the critical moment and stealed Nash.

The Warriors' offense was basically a one-man show for Rich, and he turned on a crazy offensive mode to lead the Warriors to victory.

After the game, statistics showed that Li Zhi took 28 shots, scored 45 points, made 14 of 28 shots, made 8 three-pointers, and made 9 of 10 free throws.

Li Zhi is very satisfied with the data, he now has a desire for the data, and he can't wait to vote dozens of times, because he feels that he has the ability.

The defending champion won, the data exploded, and the media naturally boasted Li Zhi highly, and on the NBA official website, the Warriors' championship winning rate also rose by one place, ranking behind the Lakers.

Unlimited power is really a good thing, Li Zhi wants to know why Kobe Bryant and Iverson are so "alone", this feeling of getting big data is really cool. And Li Zhi has no way to shoot infinitely, if he doesn't attack, the rest of the Warriors will have no chance, to put it bluntly, the Warriors will rely on Li Zhi now, and Li Zhi will have problems when he gets off the court.

After the game, reporters interviewed Li Zhi and asked him what his goals were for this season.

Li Zhigan replied neatly: "The scoring champion and the best defensive player, the goal of last season was not achieved, and this season will be achieved together." ”

Li Zhi's big breath thundered the reporter, but the reporter is also used to it, Li Zhi is this kind of character, he didn't get the best defensive player last season, but he is infinitely close to this goal, and he really can't get the best defensive player this season.

As for the scoring champion, after this battle, Li Zhi firmly locked the first position in the scoring list, and if he maintains this state, the scoring champion is not a problem.

Another talking point for the Warriors is Curry, who continues to play well and is fully capable of competing for the Rookie of the Year appearance. Li Zhi took good care of Curry in the first three quarters, and Curry himself also created a lot of assists, as long as he didn't get injured and guaranteed playing time, the best rookie had a fight.

Tough on it was Tyrek Evans, who played a regular season game and was considered a strong contender for Rookie of the Year, and now that Curry is out of the box, Evans has one more opponent.
