Nelson arranged for Richie to play against James, which was also inevitable, the two were both small forwards, and Richie didn't want to carry a name for avoiding wars.

The fourth position is Barnes, and the Cavaliers' attack power at the fourth position is not strong, and Barnes can help Li Zhi limit James together.

Nelson's arrangement was borrowed from the Rocket-Cavaliers game, with James having no touch under Battier and Artest, and the Warriors were going to do the same.

And for the sake of insurance, Nelson also deliberately told Jackson to mainly assist in defense, so as to form a situation where the three major fronts targeted James.

There's nothing to tell in the number one position, it's still Lowry. His opponent is Mo Williams, who is on par with Lowry. Although Mo Williams averaged 17.8 points per game, the small steel cannon was not far behind, averaging 14.3 points per game, and was better than Mo Williams defensively.

Nelson has confidence in the Warriors' starters, O'Neal doesn't need to worry inside, even if Lee Zhi is blown up by LeBron, O'Neal can still get back on the court.

The media compared Li Zhi and James, but Nelson did not think that Li Zhi and James would be a level of rivalry now, and even if it were, it would be a few years later.

The Cavaliers' lineup is actually much worse than the Warriors, it can be said that James is carrying the Cavaliers forward on his own, and when it comes to the strength of the lineup, except for LeBron James, there are really not too many highlights at all, but there are high-paid balloon stars such as Ben Wallace, Il Goskas and Szelbiak.

Nelson's second lineup, which was off the bench with the Cavaliers, relied on Crawford to open up territory for the Warriors in the first half of the second quarter.

The audience at Oracle was full, and many fans angrily sprayed James, out of a comparison mentality, Golden State fans generally believed that Li Zhi was better than James.

ESPN sent commentators Jeff Van Gundy and Joan Barry, as well as Lakers Magic Johnson.

Before the game, Jeff Van Gundy said: "Who do you think will win the matchup between James and Richie? ”

The magician shook his head: "It's hard to say, both of them are scoring like probes, but in terms of organization and rebounding, James is much better than Li Zhi." Richie may be able to compete with James in scoring, but in other ways, Richie is a little more like Anthony. ”

Jeff Van Gundy said with a smile: "James is good at face frame breaking, and Li Zhi is just a master of face frame breaking, and I would love to see Li Zhi after the defense evolves to make those responses to James's multiple layups." ”

Before jumping the ball, the players on both sides said hello, and LeBron said with a smile: "I heard that you are going to win the best defensive player, do you dare to play one-on-one in this game, let me inspect the goods." ”

Li Zhi smiled and shook his head, he would only play one-on-one with James when he was brain-dead. No matter who James faces, one-on-one is out of place. Although he is not afraid of him if he defends well, it will definitely be the knights who will benefit from that. The other players of the Warriors are much better than the Cavaliers, and they can fight in groups, who will go it alone?

And Li Zhi also said silently in his heart.

"I'm a magician, who's going to fight you?"

Cavaliers starters: Ilgoskars, Ben Wallace, James, Mor Williams, Deron West.

O'Neal jumped the ball and the Clippers won possession.

"Big Z" is old and can barely jump up when fighting for the ball, and he can firmly occupy the starting line for the Cavaliers, relying on years of experience and James' care. He is the player on the Cavaliers who knows James the most, and he has the most tacit cooperation with James.

Lowry dribbled the ball to the front court and passed it to Rich. Seeing this, O'Neal made a block for Li Zhi, and the big Ben who defended O'Neal immediately faced Li Zhi, and his steps were fast, which was a player who could become a four-time Defensive Player of the Year.

Big Ben's defensive ability is mainly reflected in the precise co-defense and card position awareness, which is different from Li Zhi, who relies more on his body to resist hard.

Big Ben's defense disrupted Li Zhi's breakthrough rhythm, and Li Zhi had only one choice at this time, and that was to pass. James stood in front of O'Neal, ready to intercept Richie's pass.

There was no space to dribble the ball, but Li Zhi did not pass the ball, but carried Daben with his back.

Li Zhi's actions made Nelson slightly stunned, Li Zhi wants to rely on fighting? But he wouldn't!

Jeff Van Gundy said: "Big Ben and James have blocked the route of Li Zhi, Li Zhi can only pass the ball to the outside, it is not wise to choose to play alone with his back now, it is not the time to be willful on the court." ”

As soon as Jeff Van Gundy's words fell, Li Zhi started. Daben's strength has passed its peak, and it is on par with Li Zhi's strength. Li Zhi pushed it a few times, and Big Ben unexpectedly took a step back, giving Li Zhi room to hit his back.

Big Ben also knew that Li Zhi would not be beaten back, so fortunately let go and let Li Zhi lean on. Li Zhi was addicted to it, and it seemed that he was a little bit aggressive.

When he came to the restricted area, Big Ben increased his strength, but Li Zhi suddenly turned around, this turn was extremely chic, Big Ben stretched out his hand in response, but saw Li Zhi standing in place without hitting his back at all, but raised his right hand and threw the basketball to the basket.

Li Zhi is about the same height as Da himself, but Li Zhi's arm span is longer, and this throwing arc makes Big Ben desperate, and finally in the sound of the fans sighing, the basketball falls into the basket.

The magician on the commentary seat looked at Li Zhi and opened his mouth.

"Throw, George Lee is using throwing?"

Jeff Van Gundy and Joan Barry nodded, and Joan Barry said, "This toss has your shadow." ”

The magician looked at Li Zhi's ball, and his heart was shocked, it was true. Whether it's the arc or the height of the shot, it's like yourself.

The Cavaliers attacked, James received the ball, and Richie blocked his breakthrough route in front.

Defending James, this is not Li Zhi's main task, Li Zhi's task is to delay his breakthrough as much as possible, wait until he slows down and enters the interior, and then it is O'Neal's business.

But James didn't break through directly, Mo Williams went around the box to the right, and another defender, West, slipped off the bottom line and shook off King Jackson to run to the left.

Richmond was facing James, unable to take care of the empty lines on either side, and James threw it directly to West on the left, who followed Vallejo's cover and scored the three points.

2：3

The Warriors attacked, Li Zhi held the ball, and James chose to defend alone. The Cavaliers' approach to dealing with Lee Chi is also a one-man defense, never giving O'Neal a chance.

In McBrown's eyes, O'Neal is a more dangerous presence than Richie this season.

Li Zhi passed directly to Lowry and then walked to the low post to ask for the ball. The ball came to Li Zhi's hands again, and James had already done a good job of defending his back, but Li Zhi did not choose to use his back to use his strength to get the position, and compared his strength with James in the NBA, it was not Sabi.

Li Zhi dribbled a few times in front of James, showed off his crotch dribble, gave James an illusion that he was going to break through, and then at the free throw line, he threw a large shot directly.

Li Zhi jumped and threw this time, and James jumped up to block it, but only touched the air.

Li Zhi used his performance to tell Magic Johnson: I am really a magician!
