Chapter 159: Sullen Pioneer
The Warriors and Trail Blazers game was broadcast live across the United States, and coincidentally, the game became eye-catching because of the Western Conference standings.
TNT gave an analysis of the match before the game.
"The Trail Blazers and the Warriors are both upstarts in the league, and the most eye-catching thing today is, of course, the showdown between Brandon Roy and Richie, Brandon Roy is considered the best scoring guard after Kobe, and Richie is considered the strongest small forward after James.
"It's a battle of new forces, and this game will also determine the future of both teams and the future of the two superstars, and winning the Trail Blazers, the Warriors will move into second place in the West, and they will once again have the qualification to challenge the Lakers."
"Take out the Warriors, the Trail Blazers prove that they are the upstarts in the league, and of course, because this game is at Oracle, so we are better for the Warriors."
At this time, in the locker room of the Golden State Warriors' home court, there was still some time before the game started, and the Warriors team was watching TNT's analysis of the game at this time.
Li Zhi just stared at the TV, this game was indeed the same as the outside world said, it was a turning point in the careers of Li Zhi and Roy, at least Li Zhi thought so.
Because of the system, Li Zhi must win this game, and he must win beautifully and blow up Roy.
And because of the media momentum, it seems that the duel between Li Zhi and Roy is a rival, and the media praised Durant and Li Zhi before, but Durant's Thunder is obviously not competitive this year, and Roy has become the best target in this case.
Li Zhi believes that there must be some shadow of the league executives behind this, such as Adam Shaw or Stern.
"It's just a regular season, so you don't have to be so nervous." Nelson said as he looked at the serious Warriors.
Rich, O'Neal, Jackson, and Crawford are all right, but "Little Steel Cannon" and Jordan Jr. are extremely nervous.
Because there are many potential newcomers in the Trail Blazers, the media has forced Xiao Gangcannon and Jordan Jr. to be brought in, and the two of them have become potential new stars like Oden and Ade.
Milicic looked at the two of them with disdain, and was very dissatisfied with the media's neglect of him.
After Nelson ordered the start, Milicic was disappointed to find that he did not start this game, and it was Barnes who replaced him, Rao was "Frankenstein" Nelson, and he did not dare to let Milicic defend Aldridge.
Aldridge is averaging 18.1 points per game this season and is already a quasi-All-Star level power forward.
"George, I don't think I need to say more about this game, your task is to blow up the opposing Fernandez, I think you have experience in this matter." Nelson looked at Li Zhi and said.
After Nelson finished laying out the tactics, Li Zhi nodded.
He has no problem with Fernandes, who scored 25 points in the last game, and this time he is waiting to eat duck eggs.
When the Warriors laid out their tactics, the Trail Blazers' locker room was rare and dignified, and this game was also a game that the Trail Blazers couldn't afford to lose.
"Kyle, don't be so nervous, just relax, that Steve Blake is no match for you." Li Zhi patted Lowry on the shoulder to relieve him of the pressure.
Such a game, as a newcomer with high hopes, only Li Zhi, a pervert, who can not be nervous, can it be an ordinary regular season game that has been promoted for so many days in the United States.
So, when Lee played with his Warriors, the noise at the Oracle Center was overwhelming, and when the Trail Blazers players played, there were boos everywhere.
"Boss, don't worry, I'll kill that guy!" Kyle Lowry said, looking up.
In the face of Li Zhi's comfort, Lowry forcibly suppressed the excitement in his heart, he knew the importance of this game for the Warriors and for himself.
Although Li Zhi is the star of the Warriors, he rarely seizes the ball, Li Zhi prefers to run to catch the ball and shoot, this style of play takes good care of Lowry, if there is no Li Zhi, he Lowry does not say that he has a performance, I am afraid that it is no better than the Grizzlies.
With the noise made by the fans, the game was like a playoff game, so when standing on the court, the newcomers on both sides became very cautious.
"The surname is Li, you are going to die in this game, I will prevent you from dying!" Fernandez looked at Li Zhi and said coldly.
Every time he was killed by Li Zhi, Fernandez would practice more, in order to be ashamed of himself next time he faced Li Zhi.
Before this game, Trail Blazers coach McMillan said that Lee's biggest threat is his breakthrough, and Fernandes' task is to prevent Lee's breakthrough.
In the face of Fernandez's provocation, Li Zhi pursed his lips and did not speak, he felt that Fernandez was an idiot.
At this time, the referee threw the basketball in his hand into the air.
O'Neal jumped straight to the basketball, no nonsense, and handed it directly to Lowry.
In front of the big shark, Oden was still too tender, and Oden also looked at the big shark with a stunned face, this big shark didn't want to be a 36-year-old person at all.
On the bench of the Warriors, Nelson looked at this situation and smiled, although he couldn't figure out why the big sharks were in such good shape this season, but he had already begun to look forward to the Warriors this season.
"Well done!" O'Neill grinned wide, looking at Auden with a demented expression and trash taunting.
Auden didn't say a word, which made O'Neill feel bored.
This Trail Blazers, most of them have this sullen character, which is very similar to the Spurs.
Auden is not only mature in appearance, but also dull in expression and personality, and belongs to the kind of person who can't hold back a fart for a long time. Aldridge and Roy, not to mention, are more stone Buddhas than stone Buddhas.
It was Fernandez who kept chattering in Li Zhi's ear, but no matter how Fernandez spoke, Li Zhi just ignored him, which made Fernandez feel insulted.
Lowry dribbled past half court, and before the players on the court were in place, he raised his hand and passed it to Li Zhi.
In these games, Lowry can always pass the ball to Li Zhi as soon as possible, and the passing is not in vain. With so many scorers in the Warriors, Lowry is well aware that his strength is not in scoring, but in passing.
When Li Zhi received the ball, Fernandez in front of him had already posted it with a mocking face.
"Li Zhi is going to fight alone!"
"Li Zhi's performance in these games is hot, I don't know how this one is."
When Li Zhi dribbled, Fernandez's hands kept shaking in front of Li Zhi, and Fernandez was very happy in his heart at this time, this is the newly learned blindfolded defense, specially prepared for Li Zhi.
"Hey, hey, cool, defensive skills just for you." Fernandez looked proud, and Li Zhi was also surprised, Fernandez really worked hard to practice a blindfolded defense for himself.
However, Li Zhi didn't care, the blindfolded defense was indeed quite practical, but Li Zhi was taller than Fernandes, so as soon as Li Zhi accelerated, he threw off Fernandes' big hand.
