On the morning of April 27, Nelson called a meeting of all Warriors players.

The Trail Blazers have changed the Warriors' defense, and it is no longer possible to fight defense, and next, the Warriors can only rely on offense to win. "In this game, we followed the example of the Lakers and played a triangle offense," Nelson said. ”

"Moreau, Jackson, Nick Young started and opened up space for George's singles. The Trail Blazers limited their first two games to a compression defense, but we had chances in the corners and on the perimeter. George, you pass the ball when you attract the bag, and the shooters take the ball and shoot, don't hesitate. ”

Assistant coach Matt said: "Don, this way, our defense will be a lot worse, can we stand up to Aldridge and Roy? ”

Nelson's eyes burned and he said, "No, we can limit Roy in the first two games, but we can't do anything about Aldridge. We strengthened our defense, there were no shooters on the outside, we couldn't open up space, and we had to get George and the shooter together to break the Trail Blazers' defense. ”

After a pause, Nelson said: "Darko, you have to come off the bench to steal points with Jamal, strengthen the blocking offense, Livingston, David, Gerrard, you need to strengthen the defense, you can't let the Trail Blazers' Fernandez score easily, understand?" ”

David Lee looked at Nelson's fiery gaze and nodded seriously. He was basically abandoned in the first three games, his defense was a hole, and Nelson was thinking about how to limit Aldridge in the first few games, and he didn't dare to use David Lee. In this game, Nelson decided to step up the offense, and David Lee had a chance to play.

In the afternoon, the NBA officially announced the Best Sixth Man, Best Rookie, Most Improved Player, Best Defensive Player, and Best Manager awards.

The best sixth man is Jason Terry of the Dallas Mavericks. Averaging 19.8 points, 3.6 assists, 2.5 rebounds and 1.4 steals per game, he is the Mavericks' second-leading scorer.

After missing most of February's games due to injury, John Terry is back strong. He scored 20+ points in seven games in March, notably in the Mavericks' 119-103 win over the Wizards, where Terry scored a season-high 33 points.

However, Terry's award is not well deserved, and if Ginobili is fully fit, or Crawford plays a few fewer starts, his place may not be secured.

The Rookie of the Year was won by Derrick Rose of the Bulls, averaging 16.4 points, 6.2 assists and 3.8 rebounds per game.

Rudy Fernanades is second in number and his stats are on par with Rose, but his teammates are too strong, his presence in the game is weak, and he doesn't have the leadership qualities of Rose.

The All-Rookie First Team is Derek Rose, Russell Westbrook, Rudy Fernandez, Michael Beasley, Brooke Lopez.

Mario Chalmers, Marc Gasol, Eric Gordon, Kevin Loew and Jordan Jr. were named to the rookie second team. Oden was also a rookie year, but he acted like a blue-collar worker, making the Trail Blazers lose patience.

The Pacers' Danny Granger is the most improved player with 24.8 points, 5.2 rebounds, 3.0 assists and 1.5 blocks per game.

Li Zhi and Durant are ranked second and third respectively, and the two have improved a lot, but it is not obvious compared to Danny Granger, and Li Zhi has missed more games, which has affected the rating. Durant is very depressed, he was behind Lee Zhi for the best rookie last season, and the most improved player this year is still behind Li Zhi. His current stats are already at an All-Star level, but Li Zhi's stats are better than him, and he can compete for the scoring title.

Chauncey Billups won the Sportsmanship of the Season award and Chris Mullin won the Best Manager award. The award was questioned, and the move that replaced Kyle Lowry was terrible. After this season, if nothing else, Chris Mullin should retire, and veteran coach Nelson will also serve as general manager.

Other individual awards, scoring champion Dwyane Wade (30.2 points), Howard won both blocks (2.9) and rebounds (13.8), assists king Chris Paul (11), and steals (2.8) is also Paul.

That night, the fourth game between the Warriors and the Trail Blazers began, and many people held up signs and shouted "2:2".

Nick Young was sent by Nelson to defend Brandon Roy, and he was going to spur Roy to play singles. Li Zhi plays as a power forward, defending Aldridge on the inside, as long as Aldridge is single, Li Zhi will make him look good.

In order to defend Rich, the Trail Blazers adopted a wrap-and-clip strategy in the first two games, but in this game, Nelson put a time bomb on Nick Young, as long as Nick Young throws away, the Warriors have four shooters, and the Trail Blazers' wrap-and-clip strategy will be invalid.

Standing in the middle circle, Fernandez said next to Li Zhi: "You can't win, go home and fish early." ”

Li Zhi rolled his eyes and said, "I'm saying it again, I'll blow you up!" ”

Fernandez pouted, he was not afraid of Rich, and their wrapping strategy was successful in the last game.

Aldridge saw Li Zhi walking to his side, his face instantly gloomy, and Li Zhi wanted to defend him. Li Zhi's defense is not at the same level as Milicic, he can't stand up to Li Zhi, he can't get into the penalty area, and he can only jump shots.

Channingfrye jumped to the ball and the Warriors began to man-to-man defense so that everyone could find the right player as quickly as possible. As long as Roy is on the outside, Li Zhi will help defend and will not let him have an easy chance to score.

The Trail Blazers still handed the ball to Aldridge at the beginning, and in the first two games, Aldridge exploded, and Li Zhi swore that this game would not let Aldridge score easily.

Li Zhi took a half-wrap forward defense and pushed Aldridge's waist, allowing Aldridge to get the ball and waste a lot of strength. Aldridge took a few steps inside with the ball, turned around and jumped out, Li Zhi immediately jumped up to interfere, the interference had an effect, and the basketball was deflected.

O'Neal jammed Channingfrye and gave it to Jackson to advance. O'Neal has a lot of power, good card awareness, and a lot better rebounding than Channingfry, who is just a big shooter after all, and has little deterrent power on the inside.

In the frontcourt, Li Zhi received the ball outside the three-second zone on the left side and held the ball in front of Aldridge.

Li Zhi is a left-handed dribbler, and as long as the Trail Blazers are in the bag, Li Zhi will send an assist at any time. The pioneers also saw the situation clearly and decided not to trap Li Zhi for the first time. Li Zhi "got an inch" and continued to dribble the ball in the middle, so close to Fernandez that he could help defend with a few steps.

Aldridge had already followed Li Zhi to the high post, the basket was empty, and Li Zhi broke through directly after dribbling behind his back. Aldridge scrambled back, and Liji suddenly passed the ball to Morrow.

Fernandez made up for the defense, Morrow was vacant, and received a pass from Li Zhi and shot a direct three-point shot.

In the first two games, the Warriors' outside shooters didn't have a touch, which is why the Trail Blazers dared to wrap up Lee. Before the game, Morrow trained for a long time to maintain his touch, hoping that he would help the team.

Li Zhi passed the ball comfortably, and Morrow raised his hand to send the ball to the basket.

3：0

The Trail Blazers attacked, and Li Zhi kept pushing Aldridge outside, and Roy could only attack with the ball himself. After winning two games in a row, Roy's confidence has improved significantly, and Roy is full of confidence when he plays Nick Young.

Nick Young is admittedly bad defensively, but that doesn't mean he's a soft persimmon, his physical fitness is not bad, his feet move fast, and as long as the defensive attitude keeps up, Roy won't be better.

Finally had a chance to prove himself in front of the boss, Nick Young went out and went all out to defend Roy.

Nelson is not afraid that Nick Young's physical strength can't keep up, Nick Young can't, the Warriors and Gerard Green, the two played 20 minutes respectively, and in these 20 minutes, their task is to fight with Roy.

In the Warriors' lineup, only the role of Li Zhi and O'Neal is irreplaceable, as long as the two are on the court, they can contribute on both offensive and defensive ends.

Although O'Neal is not as good as the regular season, he also has the strength of the Heat period, and the name of the championship center is not called in vain.

Nick Young learned from Richie and Jackson's strategy of defending Roy, not stealing, just sticking to the interference, and jumping to block after Roy's emergency stop.

Roy made a step-back jumper, Nick Young interfered with the effort of feeding, the shot was missed, and Li Zhi won the rebound.

Some fans in China couldn't help but cheer when they saw Nick Yang's successful defense, "Yang Shaoxia is so good." Due to Doubi's personality and good strength, Nick Yang is very popular in China, and has even surpassed the "Eighth Master" of the protector.

In the Warriors positional battle, Li Zhi continued to single Aldridge on the left side. Li Zhi was used to more advanced defense in qualifying, and Aldridge's defense had a lot of holes in Rich's opinion.

Aldridge wanted to break through defensively and use his height and arm span to interfere with Li Zhi's shooting, and what Li Zhi had to do was not to avoid him, but to take the initiative to seek physical contact with Aldridge.

Offense requires rhythm, and the sense of rhythm in defense is also important, and Li Zhi's single Aldridge also has a speed advantage.

He dribbled the ball down the middle, turned into the interior and held the basketball high with one hand, which was a clear dunk move.

Fernandez didn't dare to let Moro come to help defend this time, and the moment Aldridge and Li Zhi's body were released, the referee's whistle sounded.

Richie smashed the basketball into the basket, which was a dunk, and countless fans at the Oracle Center cheered, and the ball was a morale booster.

Lee hit a free throw, 6-0.

The Trail Blazers offense was handed over to Aldridge, this time Aldridge misplaced Jackson, Li Zhi let go of Batum and went directly to help defend, his steps were fast, and he saw Aldridge pass the ball to Batum, and ran directly with a big stride.

Batum jumper, Li Zhi felt that it was blocked in time, the shot was off again, and O'Neal won the rebound.

Li Zhi returned to the power forward position, and Fernandez's defense of Li Zhi was considered a misposition. Li Zhi, as a surprise soldier, once again disrupted the plans of the pioneers.

Li Zhi took the ball from the outside and brought it all the way to the baseline. Fernandez gave Richie to Aldridge and defended Morrow himself. Aldridge had a foul on him and didn't dare to make a big move. Roy came from behind to help defend, and Li Zhi immediately passed the ball to Nick Young at the top of the arc.

Roy was slow to defend back, and Nick Young made an empty three-point shot, 9-0.

The Warriors fans stood up and applauded, and the Warriors played their offense, scoring a three-pointer, which is their favorite form of basketball. After two three-pointers, the Warriors now have the initiative.

After three rounds, Li Zhi showed everyone what dominance is.
