At halftime, the big screen replayed the Warriors' offensive waves over and over again, and the running dragon composed of Gerald Green, Stephen Jackson and Richie was impressive.

The strength of the warriors is on par with the Trailblazers, but they kill the Trailblazers, and opportunities are always given to those who are prepared.

58：38

Roy was dressed roughly, and the Warriors' wheel battles consumed him too much, and he was a little overwhelmed by the fact that he was not the best physical.

Kenny Smith sighed: "The Warriors' tactics are too torturous, and that's LeBron's treatment." ”

Barkley said: "The success of the Warriors' tactics is not unrelated to Richie, Richter uses LeBron's style of play against Roy, everyone sees Richie and Durant as representatives of basketball in the new era, but Richie goes back to basics and surprises everyone with the most fundamental things in basketball." ”

McMillan and Roy said something, and it wasn't until Roy nodded that MacMillan breathed a sigh of relief. In the first half, the Trail Blazers fell into a strange circle of singles, with very little cooperation. The Warriors have three or four players with excellent individual defense ability, and they are not afraid of singles at all.

In the second half, McMillan asked Roy to hold the ball less, improve his air cutting and movement, and use Roy's containment to create shooting opportunities for shooters such as Fernandes, Blake and Batum. Aldridge was on the weak side, and more went to the low post to get stuck in the position, forming two response points with Roy, one inside and one outside.

Point guard brought in Blake, who was poor defensively but had a 42.7 percent three-point shot that could open up space for the Trail Blazers to cut into the air. Channingfrye was put on the court again, and his role was much better than Pulzbilla's, and the tall pitcher was more difficult to defend, at least making Jordan Jr. and O'Neal suffer against him. Nelson saw that it was not good, replaced O'Neal and replaced Barnes, allowing Barnes to take the center position and increase his movement speed.

Jackson played a block and dismantling tactic in the high post, Milicic withdrew the inside line, creating a misplaced single opportunity for Li Zhi, and the Warriors did not relax their defense against Roy in the second half, taking turns to post the defense, letting others shoot, and relying on infinite defense changes on the periphery to limit shooters, and changed to mixed defense.

After Roy changed to cover, he handed out a lot of assists, but Batum and Blake felt cold, especially Blake, who only scored 3 points on 1-of-6 shooting. The Trail Blazers dug themselves too big a hole in the first half to recover the score, and the Warriors were very efficient offensively, and as long as Milicic grabbed the rebound, the Warriors would play a fast break.

In the end, the Warriors defeated the Trail Blazers 110-105, and the following grams got off to a good start on the road.

Li Zhi played 44 minutes, shooting 12-of-20 from the field and 8-of-9 from the free-throw line, scoring 32 points, 6 assists, 4 rebounds, 2 steals and 2 blocks. Roy finished with 24 points, 6 rebounds, 6 assists and 4 steals on 10-of-24 shooting, plus free throws. It seems that the data of the two are comparable.

Milicic scored 14 points, 13 rebounds and 5 assists, most of the rebounds were backcourt rebounds, and Jordan Jr. scored 10 points and 11 rebounds, and the two were the main contributors to the Warriors' victory. Jackson had 17 points and five assists, and Gerald Green had nine points. Among the starters, O'Neal only scored 12 points, but the interior was extremely intimidating, and when he was on the floor, the Trail Blazers significantly broke through.

For the Trail Blazers, Aldridge had 30 points, 10 rebounds and 3 assists, Fernandez 16 points, Batum 12 points, and Channingfrye 18 points.

The game was intense, and Jackson also received a technical foul. Nelson told the Warriors to step up their defense over and over again on the sidelines, and Jackson pulled out all his stops.

The Warriors won their first playoff game, and fans who watched the game were hooked, and the Warriors fought and defended as if the NBA had returned to the 90s.

Speaking at the post-match press conference, McMillan was visibly unhappy, saying: "Even though we lost the first game, it brought our players back to form. We weren't ready in the first half, in fact we did a good second half, we're going to strengthen defensively after that, and the playoffs aren't over yet. ”

Roy's face was gloomy when asked about his performance in this game, and he said: "The Warriors' defense is aimed at me, but their defense is not without flaws, and I will make them regret it in the next game." ”

Roy replied in an uproar. He has always been a dull character, and the interviews at the press conference are generally gentle, and now saying this means that he is indeed angry.

When interviewing the Warriors, reporters hoped that Li Zhi would respond to Roy's words, just like the finals between the Green Army and the Lakers last year, the NBA is a vanity fair, where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and games without topics are always boring.

Li Zhi said: "It was very difficult for us to win, I am very happy to win this game, I don't have any goals, I just live in the moment, as for how to play in the next game, that's our coach's business." Of course, I hope we go further. ”

After the press conference, Li Zhi returned to the hotel and spoke with Avril on the phone.

Avril said: "How was it like to win the first playoff game? Isn't it particularly exciting. ”

Li Zhi smiled and said, "Yes, I'm very excited, but you can't be happy with Ernie when you're not around." ”

Avril sighed on the phone and said, "George, I'm busy, it's really bad, my concert is about to start, I really don't have time to watch your game." ”

Li Zhi smiled helplessly, and pretended to be relaxed: "It's okay, it's not early, let's go to sleep." ”

As soon as Avril Lavigne's phone hung up, Ye Xiaoxiao's phone called. Ye Xiaoxiao said: "Renault Lehman wants to buy the Warriors? ”

Li Zhi was stunned and said in surprise: "It's not Renault, it's a joint venture with someone else." ”

Ye Xiaoxiao said excitedly: "That's great, if Renault's acquisition is successful, can you let me give him a private interview?" ”

Li Zhi smiled: "Of course no problem, I can lend him to you for a day!" ”

Ye Xiaoxiao said shyly: "Who wants to borrow him for a day, I just want to interview the youngest rich and handsome in the NBA." ”

Li Zhixin said, this girl can't be a fancy to Renault!

After their first playoff win on April 19, the Warriors didn't have a second game until the 22nd, with the Warriors training at Rose Garden for the two days in between.

On April 21, the NBA officially announced the best coach awards for the regular season, and the head coach of the Cavaliers, Mike Brown, was elected Coach of the Year. The Rockets' Adelman was second and Nelson was third.

Nelson won the NBA Coach of the Year award three times in 1983, 1985 and 1992, so he didn't really care about the award, but the whole Warriors team was still very happy, and it was a kind of comparison mentality, and the coach was nominated, so the players were also motivated to play on the court.

The Warriors now have a good chance of a second win at the Trail Blazers' home court, but it won't be easy to do that.

On the 22nd, in Game 2 of the playoffs, Nelson's fears became a reality - the Trail Blazers changed lineups.

The Trail Blazers adopted a hybrid defense, with Fernandez defending Lee, and the other four compressing the defense to occupy the four corners of the restricted area, which was a tactic for the Warriors' outside shooters, and the Warriors did this defense in the last game.

The Warriors did not let O'Neal continue to start, and Nelson saw that O'Neal was not in good shape, so he directly sent a combination of Milicic, Jordan Jr., Li Zhi, Jackson, and Morrow. Except for Jordan Jr., all have three-point range.

After Ritch expressed his thoughts, Nelson tried to have Jackson play as point guard, and his task was to take the ball across half court and then the Warriors run.

The Trail Blazers' starters were Channingfry, Aldridge, Fernandes, Roy, Blake. Two big men can pull out to shoot, stand next to the box when defending, and can wrap up appropriately. The Trailblazers chose to let go of Jordan Jr., Jordan Jr. has no offensive ability except for dunking, as long as he is not allowed to catch the ball, Jordan Jr. is playing soy sauce offensively.

Li Zhi couldn't break through and could only shoot outside. The Trail Blazers also seized on the Warriors' dead end, without a point guard, pressing the ball handler and delaying the Warriors' tactics. Offensively, Aldridge was left alone in the restricted area, and if the shot didn't go in, they were able to return quickly.

Roy played in this game, his shooting percentage was high, and the Warriors' three-man attrition was a bit out of order. In this game, the Trail Blazers had a high shooting percentage, and the Warriors had fewer opportunities for fast breaks, and the Trail Blazers hit outside shots on offense, leading by 20 points at halftime, and McMillan shouted a good job at halftime.

Nelson watched the Warriors have little chance of winning in the second half, no matter how big it is, and sent off the lineup of Nick Young, Crawford, Morrow, Rich, and Jordan Jr., and fought with the Trail Blazers to attack.

The Warriors' four-man shooting team scored, and the offense was really smooth, but the interior suffered a loss, Jordan Jr. was not a qualified defender, Roy was killed frequently on the inside, and beat Jordan Jr. at a critical moment in the fourth quarter. Nelson replaced O'Neal, but O'Neal couldn't keep up with the fast pace of the Trail Blazers, and the Warriors lost to the Trail Blazers 100-112.

Li Zhi scored 21 points, 6 rebounds, 3 assists and 2 blocks, and Roy scored 32 points, 8 assists, 6 rebounds and 2 steals.

Six Trail Blazers players scored in double figures, with Fernandez scoring 20 points and hitting five three-pointers.

Instead of being frustrated, the Warriors packed their bags and headed back to Oakland, where their home court was satisfied.

Nielsen strategized, and vowed at the press conference that he would win two home courts, and the Warriors would work together to fight with three arms.

On April 24, at the Oracle Center, the two teams played Game 3 of the playoffs, but the Warriors lost again in this game. This time Nelson changed the lineup, he started Crawford, and let Rich, Crawford and O'Neal work together to block the pick-and-roll, but O'Neal didn't finish well, and only scored 10 points in this game. After the first three quarters, the Warriors trailed by nine points.

In the fourth quarter, Nelson took O'Neal painfully, he knew O'Neal was not in good shape, but he thought that the founder of a Treble dynasty should be able to adjust well, but O'Neal obviously did not.

In the first three quarters, the Trailblazers boldly wrapped Li Zhi, which made Li Zhi very painful and his scoring efficiency was very low. The fourth quarter continued to feel cold, and the Warriors couldn't catch up. Lee played 40 minutes and scored 19 points. Crawford scored 28 points and dragged the Warriors forward.
