Chapter 198: Wheel Battle

At the Rose Garden Arena, countless fans cheered for their home team. Returning to the playoffs after many years, Trail Blazers fans are hungry, and they leave the cry they owe for years to this day.

TNT broadcast the game live, and the domestic coverage of the game was CCTV5, and many countries in Europe, South America and other countries also paid attention to the game. The game between the two playoff youth teams, people don't care who wins and who loses, they care about what can be seen from the first playoff game between the two teams.

The live commentator was Charles Barkley, who was very excited today. "Hearing the shouts here, I can think about how they like their home team, and I want this series to go through to seven games because that's what I like about that team," he said, with headphones on his headphones. ”

Kenny Smith laughed: "The core of both teams is too young, and in ten years, they will be Kobe Bryant and Pierce of their time, and by then, the fans of this team will be even more fanatical." ”

The game began, players from both sides slashed on the court, and the Warriors sent O'Neal, Milicic, Rich, Jackson, and Gerard Green. Gerardge is athletic, well-rounded and does a good job defensively.

The Warriors don't have an orthodox point guard other than Livingston, and Lee continues to play a cameo point guard in this game.

On the Trail Blazers' side, Portsbilla, Aldridge, Fernandez, Batum, Roy.

Fernandez stood opposite Li Zhi, glared at Li Zhi fiercely, and said, "I'm going to blow you up!" Roy glanced at Li Zhi with wistful eyes, then turned his head away.

Li Zhi smiled slightly and said, "I don't know if your boss can beat me, but I will blow you up!" ”

Fernandez was mad, Li Zhi poked his pain point, and his career was in the shadow of Li Zhi.

At the beginning of the game, Purzbilla jumped to basketball, and O'Neal lost half of his ability stats, and now he only has the strength of the Heat period. A jumping ball that made people feel the change in O'Neal.

The Trail Blazers attacked first, Roy dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, and Lee immediately went to defend him. Roy is the strongest spear of the Trailblazers, and Lee Chi is the strongest shield of the Warriors.

Artest's defense has a strong emphasis on closeness, which can both reduce consumption and organize the ball carrier to pull it out. In the regular season, Li Zhi's defense may not be very conspicuous, but in the fierce competition in the playoffs, less physical consumption will give him a better chance of winning.

Roy dribbled horizontally, and just when everyone thought he was going to single Richie, he passed. The basketball went to Fernandez, who continued to pass the ball to Aldridge on the inside.

Milicic stood up to him behind Aldridge, and in the regular season, Aldridge scored a lot every time he played the Warriors, because Milicic had a bad defensive attitude, which once gave Nelson a headache.

But in this game, Milicic resisted Aldridge and did not back down at all, Aldridge wanted to turn around and break through, but Milicic put his knee against his leg, his pace was already slow, and now he only had to turn around and shoot.

In the league, Aldridge's turnaround breakthrough is in the top few, but this time Milicic defended in place, blocking Ade's vision with his long arms, Aldridge's feints didn't work, and he turned around and jumped directly and didn't score. O'Neal grabbed the backcourt rebound at the right time.

As soon as O'Neal got the rebound, Li Zhi Jackson and Gerard Green immediately attacked quickly, O'Neal passed to Jackson, Jackson passed to Li Zhi in the middle line, and the front court played two to one.

The Warriors' tactics are defensive counterattacks and three-point shooting, which is the winning method of the Warriors this season. This season, O'Neal and Jordan Jr. are not the inside combination, so that the rebounds rank fourth in the league, the number of shots ranks first in the league, as long as the defense is successful, the outside trio will be the first time to break fast.

Li Zhi passed to Gerard Green, Batum made up the defense, and Gerard Green passed back again. Li Zhi, who ran up, had already come to the restricted area and dunked directly after receiving the ball.

2:0

Li Zhi's speed is too fast, this season has won a lot of points by relying on air cuts and breakthroughs, and when the fast break and air cuts, the defenders can't react, and Li Zhi has taken advantage of this time to complete the score.

The Trail Blazers attacked, and they still handed the ball to Roy to handle, and Roy didn't rush to score, waiting for Batum and Fernandez to run the game.

Batum shook off Gerard Green, received the ball outside the three-point line, Jackson made up the defense, Batum immediately came to a throwing pass, and the basketball was dialed to Ade's hands on the inside. Ade received the ball and jumped straight away, not giving Milicic a chance to react.

2:2

The Trail Blazers reused him in his first season, wanting to develop him into Stephen Jackson, a three-point shot and defense that were the reasons he was selected in the lottery.

However, after being mentioned as a starter in the second half, Batum showed more ability to move the ball, although there are not many assist statistics, but many of the points are attributed to Batum's large-scale transfer of the ball.

Milicic was a little depressed and threw the basketball to the ground.

O'Neill said: "Don't care, it's okay not to be blown up." Milicic nodded and passed the ball to Rich.

As soon as Li Zhi crossed the halfway line with the ball, he was pressed by Fernandes, and was almost made a mistake by Fernandes, Li Zhi staggered to control the ball over the half, and Fernandez triumphantly provoked Li Zhi.

Fernandes' half-court pressing is very smart, and Richmond is notoriously fast, once he is allowed to accelerate from the back to the half, Fernandez can't keep up with Rich. Fernandez is close to him, and he can slow down Li Zhi as much as possible, and when he arrives in the frontcourt, he can't attack directly, and the Warriors can only play positional battles honestly.

Li Zhi took advantage of Fernandez's complacency, shook off Fernandez in one step, and rushed into the three-point line, Batum had to change defenses, Jackson took the opportunity to move to the high position, Batum could only stretch out his hand, and did not dare to let go of Jackson.

Misplaced offense, Li Zhi singled Roy. 198cn against 205cm, Li Zhi has grown two centimeters taller in the past two seasons, coupled with an amazing arm span, Li Zhi has a huge advantage in the face of Roy, who is a head shorter.

Li Zhi smiled slightly, directly provoked the shot, Roy stretched out his hand, he knew that he couldn't reach Li Zhi, so he could only tentatively make defensive moves.

4:2

The Trail Blazers attacked, Aldridge went to the high post to cover, but his coverage was not good, Milicic was told by Nelson before the game, if Aldridge went to block and dismantle, as long as he stuck to him and didn't let the shot, don't worry about Aldridge cutting in the air. Ade is slow, and the air cutting effect has not been good.

Milicic resisted Ade, who didn't shoot and passed the ball directly to Roy. Roy singles Lee Chi on the right side.

In this game, Nelson is going to use Li Zhi to limit Roy, and Li Zhi is targeting Roy all over the court, targeting the strongest endpoint of the Trail Blazers. If Lee's defense is good, the Trail Blazers will lose their strongest singles star.

The best way to defend is not to interfere with the opponent's every shot, but to make the opponent lose his touch, and Li Zhi squeezed Roy outside the three-point line, Roy can only break through, and this position is looking for death with his back to his back.

Richie left Roy and gave him a jump shot. Li Zhi has a long arm span and is taller than Roy, as long as Roy shoots in this position, Li Zhi can jump up and block directly. Roy was also helpless, if he were someone else, he would have done it a long time ago.

Roy dribbles and the Trail Blazers pull away. Li Zhi's footsteps kept moving, his arms spread out, preventing Roy from passing him in one step.

Roy changed direction and wanted to break through from Li Zhi's left hand, which is Roy's usual breakthrough, he has not lost his meniscus, and the first step is very large.

Li Zhi studied Roy's breakthrough before the game, and when Roy started dribbling, he remembered to guard against him. Li Zhi followed Roy, and Roy reached the outside of the penalty area, accelerated again, raised the basketball in his right hand, and threw a shot.

This wasn't Roy's good layup position, and Richie's power made him lose shape in the air. Unable to get close to the basket, Roy couldn't use the lever he was good at, which was really a bit reluctant.

Milicic watched Roy's throw light up and provoked interference, touching the basketball with his fingers, causing the basketball to lose its arc in the air, and Li Zhi took the opportunity to catch the basketball.

Milicic's timing skills have really improved, and he used to jump up and block whenever a breakthrough man approached, and most of the time it was not a successful defense, but a foul.

The tactics arranged by Nelson are all to deal with Roy, Li Zhi's single defense Roy is the first gate, Jackson's supplementary defense is the second level, and Milicic interferes in the penalty area, all the arrangements are to prevent Roy from making easy shots.

If Roy passes the ball, the perimeter will be infinitely changed, and Batum and Fernandez can score, but they have never scored highly, so there is no need to worry.

In addition, the Warriors are also blocking and dismantling offensively, and no matter who Roy defends, Li Zhi has a way to appear in front of Roy. If you let others know about Nelson's tactics, they will definitely scold him for being crazy, which is simply targeting Roy as Kobe.

Richie held the ball outside the three-second zone of the baseline, and Gerard Green shook off Roy and cut inside into the air. As soon as he rushed up, Li Zhi immediately passed the ball, and Gerard Green did not hesitate to stick to Roy for a layup.

6:2

The Warriors started with three of three shots and took the advantage. The advantage of the Warriors is that they have a large number of people, and they are no longer the Warriors who lacked major generals last season, so Nelson dared to play this tactic of all-for-all, treating everyone as a consumable to consume Roy.

Oh...... No, even if there are not many Warriors, Nelson will choose this tactic, after all, the old scientist is a well-known tactical maniac in the NBA, who averaged 39 minutes per game in the starting game last season, and this matter was also criticized by experts.

However, the playoffs are different from the regular season, and no one in the playoffs questions Nelson's tactics, although this tactic is a bit of a rogue, using a wheel battle against Roy, but as long as you win, it's not a problem.
