On the court, Nelson has been forced to call a timeout, the Warriors' offense failed, and in a sense, the defensive intensity did not keep up, and Milicic was a big hole.

Li Zhi frowned, in this game facing Kobe, the breakthrough failed, which made him very depressed, but with Kobe's breakthrough skills, it failed in the face of Kobe, so wouldn't it be the next time he faced Ray Allen, and the three points would fail? This is not good news.

Li Zhi can't open, the advantage of the Warriors' outside singles is gone, plus the shooting has no touch, no one can provide space for O'Neal, which makes O'Neal be caught on the inside for a long time, and the feel is extremely poor.

The crux of the Warriors was once again exploited by the Lakers, replacing Milicic with Jordan Jr., and the situation did not get better, but worse.

Jordan Jr. is a good rebounder now, but not a good defender now, and without Milicic's projection ability, which makes the interior space tighter, Gasol can calmly let Jordan Jr. go to contain O'Neal.

Fortunately, O'Neal's inside touch was returned, so when the Lakers scored, the Warriors were also scoring, and at the end of the first quarter, the Warriors temporarily trailed the Lakers 22:33.

In the second quarter, both sides were replaced by substitutes, and the Warriors' strong bench group in the past did not take advantage of the Lakers when facing the Lakers' bench, but instead pulled the score bigger and bigger.

In the Lakers bench, Odom was left on the court, and the small forward position against Milicic did not fall behind, but because he did not have Kobe and Gasol's axle, he had the ball in his hand and played extremely well.

And the Lakers' outside line is full of shooters, Famar, Wharton, Vujasic, Ariza, except for Farmar who shoots 39%, and the other players have a shooting rate of more than 40%.

Especially the Lakers' new signing Ariza, not only brought great trouble to the Warriors offensively, but also made Cory Maggeti suffer defensively.

Ariza is super physical, his height and long arms combined with top-notch bounce and explosiveness are his main strengths, which are very similar to Barnes, plus Margeti's offense is more inclined to break than shoot, so he was quickly limited by Ariza.

The Lakers' bench is not only offensive but also tough defensively, while the Warriors' second lineup is excellent offensively, but it is almost hot defensively, so the competition of the bench group, the Warriors can be said to be completely abused.

By the time Nelson asked for a timeout, the margin had reached 24 points.

After the timeout, the Warriors' approach was that Lee Chi and O'Neal came on early, while the Lakers also put Gasol and Kobe Bryant.

The Warriors played well in this half quarter, O'Neal's strength and skills are stronger than Gasol, so O'Neal's success rate in single-handing Gasol is very high.

And without the limitation of Milicic, the power forward position was replaced by Matt Barnes, who was excellent defensively. O'Neal was relieved of his worries and threw himself into the offense, and the Warriors finally stopped the bleeding.

Li Zhi also opened up on the outside, compared to Lowry, Li Zhi actually prefers to partner with Crawford, the two have a more tacit understanding and cooperate more easily, and Crawford's projection threat forced the Lakers to dare not let him go.

The Warriors repeatedly used this on offense, and Li Zhi, O'Neal, and Crawford frequently blocked and dismantled, and then caused a single situation of Li Zhi against Famar or Li Zhi against Vujasic, and Kobe Bryant did not dare to let Crawford go, so Li Zhi played very comfortably in this half quarter, and the feeling of breakthrough was regained.

With Li Zhi hitting another three-pointer, the first half was over, Lakers fans were incredible, and the Warriors actually chased another 10 points in the first half of the quarter, and the halftime score became 35:49

Phil Jackson looked at the replay of the second quarter, frowned deeply, and then looked at Nelson.

"Is this guy working on my triangle tactics right now?"

Rich, Crawford, and O'Neal formed a triangle of Warriors in the second quarter.

The triangle attack is not a difficult tactic, on the contrary, it is very simple, but many teams can't find three corners and can't play triangle tactics.

The triangle tactic is to use the containment of the three people to create a misplaced single situation, and Li Zhi's performance in the first half is very similar to Kobe Bryant in 01-03, and Crawford plays the role of a containment.

And, O'Neill.

Jackson's eyes looked at O'Neal standing on the edge of the Warriors' bench, lost in thought, and waited until the Warriors players were back in the locker room before turning his head.

Kobe Bryant had the same doubts as Jackson, and he felt that the Warriors' tactics in the second quarter were like a triangle offense, and he could be said to be the most direct beneficiary of Phil Jackson's triangle tactics, and he will not forget this feeling.

He was also surprised by O'Neill, who didn't look like a 36-year-old veteran at all.

Back in the third quarter, the Warriors continued to start Crawford with Rich, and the shooting guard was replaced by Jackson, and the interior was a combination of O'Neal and Barnes.

In the third quarter, the two teams still played well, but at the end of the third quarter, the Warriors were still 8 points behind, but even so, the Zen master still couldn't accept it.

Because that means the Lakers lost to the Warriors by 2 points in the third quarter.

So, in the fourth quarter, the Lakers began to strengthen their defense, and defense is the magic weapon of this Lakers team.

So at the beginning of the fourth quarter, some of the weaknesses of the Warriors were used by the Lakers to make a fuss.

Fisher defended Crawford, saving Kobe Bryant the trouble of helping defense, and Kobe Bryant switched to defend Li Zhi, making Li Zhi's breakthrough fail again. Although Kobe Bryant also faced Li Zhi and hit the iron repeatedly, Gasol broke out.

With 2 minutes left in the fourth quarter, the Zen master gave the Lakers an order, "Cut the shark"!

So the warriors fell into an extremely passive situation, the Zen master looked at the situation on the field, and finally smiled with relief, what he can't get, others can't get, this is a very strange psychology.

The whole game was chasing points, but in the end he still lost the game 94:105, Li Zhi was very depressed, he now feels more and more the importance of skills, using Kobe's things to deal with Kobe, this trick obviously doesn't work, but now the system has no tasks, and he can't get other breakthrough skills, so he can only take one step at a time.

Also depressed is O'Neal, O'Neal hardened the whole game, but was cut at the critical moment, which made him very aggrieved, and the free throw was an eternal pain in O'Neal's heart.

Li Zhi scored 21 points in the whole process, but he made a lot of shots, which is relatively iron, but even so, no one underestimated Li Zhi, after all, he faced Kobe, a superstar who often enters the defense for a while.

But the media for O'Neal, but from the original disdain began to change, before the media thought that O'Neal was only in good shape for a while, but in the face of the Lakers' inside three-high, cut 28 points, this can not be regarded as a good state, O'Neal has rejuvenated his second spring this season.
