As the game began, Lee looked over the Wizards' bench and was disappointed not to find Arenas.

At the beginning of the season, "The General" Arenas suffered a knee injury, and the future is not optimistic.

Nelson Sr. gathered the players together in a circle for pre-game mobilization.

"Everyone has to win this game, the Wizards are without Arenas, and we have no reason to lose to such a team."

The Warriors agreed in unison: "Yes! ”

"But don't be nervous, let's play our new tactics in this game, Lee plays the big forward!" Nelson's voice was booming, and he then brushed up on his new tactics.

Everyone is an NBA player, the ball quotient is not low, and they quickly understand the new tactics.

But there is one person who is not happy at the moment, El Harrington sat in a chair and looked at Li Zhi resentfully, the guy who robbed him of his starter.

Li Zhi flipped through the tactical manual, but what he recalled in his mind was the Warriors team in his previous life.

In the previous life, the tactical core of the Warriors was also a power forward, who could pass and defend, and Draymond Green, who had comprehensive skills, was a well-deserved tactical hub for that Warriors.

Although their outside core is the Splash Brothers, and they also have Bogut who has good defense on the inside, Draymond Green is still the most indispensable part of that Warriors.

Green presence or not, the Warriors are simply two teams.

Think of the 2016 NBA Finals, where the Warriors' tactics without Draymond Green were completely out of order, and they had to rely on their hands to survive.

So I'm the tactical core? Li Zhi couldn't believe all this. Although Nelson said that he was practicing a new tactic, if Li Zhi played well, he may not be able to continue this set of tactics.

At the beginning of the game, the Warriors fielded the starting combination of Byron Davis, Monta Ellis, Matt Barnes, Rich, and Bitlins, and El Harrington was pressed to the bench by the old coach.

The Wizards are missing Arenas, but the starting lineup is still not to be underestimated.

Point guard Antonio Daniels, shooting guard DeSean Stevens, small forward Antoine Jamison, power forward Andrew Polage, center Brendy Haywood.

Nelson Sr.'s tactics failed on the court, probably because of the fatigue of traveling, even with super spicy strips, the mental state of the whole Warriors team is still not very high, and they lack the desire to attack.

In the offense-minded Warriors, a lack of offensive desire is a terrible thing.

In the first quarter of the game, the Warriors opened with a crazy game, and the Wizards led to double digits at the beginning of the 14-2 run. Subsequently, Rich, Monta Ellis and Byron Davis each hit a goal to help the team stop the bleeding in time.

But the Warriors suffered another scoring drought in the second half of the first quarter and trailed the Wizards by more than 10 points. At the end of the first quarter, the Wizards led the Warriors 24-15.

In the second quarter of the game, the Warriors' offense began to pick up, and they continued to set off counterattacks to narrow the difference.

Subsequently, Byron Davis took over the offense, assisted Li Zhi for a layup, and then scored a layup himself to help the Warriors beat the Wizards 47-45.

The Warriors then took the initiative, leading the Wizards 51-48 at halftime.

In the second half of the game, the Wizards launched a counterattack under the leadership of second-in-command Antoine Jamison, who regained the lead after a three-point shot.

The Warriors were not far behind, and under the leadership of Byron Davis, they played a head-to-head battle with the Wizards to overtake and extend the lead.

At the end of the third quarter, the Warriors led the Wizards 79-70.

Seeing that he was already ahead, the old coach was not in a hurry to let the starters play in the fourth quarter, wanting to buy some time for his disciples to rest, so as to lay the victory in the second half of the quarter.

The first three quarters of the game made the old coach enthusiastic, and Li Zhi fully understood the essence of this tactic, and repeatedly controlled the ball at the top of the arc to guide Byron Davis, Monta Ellis and Matt Barnes to cut into the air.

Of course, Li Zhi understands the essence of this set of tactics, and it is not in vain to watch so many games in his previous life.

Moreover, in Li Zhi's view, this set of tactics is more about improvisation on the field, reducing the height of the field, improving the rhythm of round transitions, opening up space, and the rest is to generate some running positions according to the tactics, and what Li Zhi has to do is to pass the ball appropriately to his teammates who have a chance.

At the end of the third quarter, Li Zhi had already scored 8 assists, and there were also a lot of points indirectly through Li Zhi's passes. The Wizards were unfamiliar with the Warriors' sudden new tactics and were caught off guard.

Wizards coach Eddie Jordan has the same surname as the god of basketball, but he does not have the IQ of the god of basketball. This is a coach who is good at training stars, but he is helpless against the temporary command on the field.

However, the Wizards' Antoine Jamison caused a lot of trouble for the Warriors, and Antoine Jamison hit two jumpers in a row at a critical moment to lead the Warriors in the first quarter.

Another problem for the Warriors was Caron Butler, who relied on his personal ability to force the offense after the second half, continued to shoot 3 points, and cheated Li Zhi into a foul inside, scoring 2+1, and once narrowing the score gap to 5 points.

Every All-Star is not a fuel-efficient lamp, although Antoine Jamison and Caron Butler are no longer at their peak, but they still have the strength of All-Stars, and Caron Butler is still a substitute in this game.

All-stars on the bench, this is not a nickname, this is a real all-star.

Antoine Jamison, who was replaced by Carter in 1998, spent his rookie years with the Warriors and is a veteran of the Warriors, but this game is really merciless against the Warriors.

Antoine Jamison, who was born in North Carolina, inherited the tradition of North Carolina, with a well-rounded technique, a mid-to-long shot, and excellent back-to-back footwork.

After switching to a small forward when he was young, he can basically be regarded as the second best scorer in the league among small forwards, and he is very smart in position and small ball.

At the Wizards, Antoine Jamison was the most consistent scorer among the three leading players. But also because of his presence, the Wizards' box hardness - both offensive and defensive - is average.

How so? The stats of such a player as a starting interior player will always look good, but it is difficult to expect the team to play at a level of more than 50 wins.

The purpose of the old handsome Nelson is to train Li Zhi to be the same existence as Antoine Jamison, but Li Zhi, who has a system, will definitely not follow Nelson's path.

Let's talk about Kalom Butler, this is definitely an underrated existence, a super all-round small forward, 20+5+5 level, and Kalom Butler's style of play is also very chic, and the straight-arm tomahawk is also a signature buckle, and during the general's injury, he has seen at least 3 mid-distance kills.

Maybe God wanted to let Li Zhi see the strength of Antoine Jamison and Caron Butler, and the Wizards began a crazy counterattack in the half quarter of the Warriors' starting break.

At this time, El Harrington, the strongest player on the Warriors' bench, is busy brushing up on the data, where the Wizards' two leaders are counterattacking, and labor-management scoring is the most important.

And the Warriors' bench was admittedly bad defensively, and soon the Wizards overtook it.
