Chapter 166: Li Zhi's Generation
In the post-game press conference, McMillan expressed his opinion: "This game is our light opponent, we don't complain about losing, the Warriors are a strong team, and any opponent who underscores him will have to pay the price." Of course, it wasn't just us who underestimated the enemy, we tried to hit some shots in the decisive moments of the game, but the Warriors did so well defensively that we lost the game ourselves. ”
McMillan used these words to cover up his improper on-the-spot command, in fact, many times the Trail Blazers' tactics were successful, because there was nothing wrong with handing the ball to Roy at the last moment, Roy is a well-known big heart and never disappoints, but today the Trail Blazers met Lee Chi, who also had a big heart.
In response to questions from reporters, Roy admitted: "The Warriors have done a very good job defensively, and they deserve this victory. In the last moments, I tried to save the situation against Li Zhi's goal and try to play a response ball, but Li Zhi's defense was very successful, and his defense was definitely underestimated by everyone. ”
Li Zhi, O'Neill, and Nielsen attended the press conference, and Li Zhi naturally became the focus of the field.
Speaking about the game, Nelson said with a smile: "Lee and Shaq were just perfect, and it felt so good to win the game while lying down. ”
When asked about today's last-minute set-up, Nelson said: "Our final tactics were no different from those of the Trail Blazers, everyone was half-hearted, they gave the ball to Brandon and we handed it to Lee, obviously Lee was better. Oh, and of course we can't forget the lads who put in the effort to defend. ”
Finally, the question finally came, asking if O'Neal was hidden in the snow at the last moment, O'Neal himself said: "Dude, I'm 36 years old, free throws won't improve anymore, in fact, I'm content to play like this this season, of course, if we can make the playoffs, the finals, or win another championship, then I can retire perfectly." ”
O'Neal also has some bitterness in his heart, and it is uncomfortable for anyone to be hidden in the snow at the last moment, but O'Neal himself knows that this is no longer his own team, Li Zhi is the leader of the team, and his free throw problem has been infinitely magnified as early as the last years of the Lakers, and the "shark cutting tactic" is the same as the Lakers infighting is the reason why the dynasty has not continued, otherwise how could the big shark be willing to leave?
Finally, when asked about Li Zhi, Li Zhi said, "I'm very happy to have such a group of teammates, it really feels great." Jackson, Barnes, Kyle, they defended really well, we were able to win in the final moments, and defense was the main reason. I think people who weren't optimistic about us before can shut up, and our goal this year is the playoffs and even the Finals. ”
A reporter asked: "It was rumored that you were nicknamed the tyrant before, threatening that you were monopolizing all kinds of disobedience, and you will face Anthony again in the next game, do you have confidence?" ”
After this battle, the Warriors defeated the Trail Blazers, and the Trail Blazers' win rate decreased, allowing the Nuggets to rise to third in the West while lying at home, so the next game is still a focus battle.
Li Zhi smiled and said, "Of course, no matter who it is!" Saying this, Li Zhi scolded the fans again in his heart, summoning the black!
At the end of the interview, Li Zhi sent Ye Xiaoxiao away, went home and took a shower and got into Avril's small quilt.
Avril said, "I'm tired, go to bed early when I'm tired." ”
Hearing Avril's words, Li Zhi's heart that was originally waiting for praise instantly fluctuated, Avril didn't understand the ball, so he couldn't see Li Zhi's performance on the court today, and Li Zhi couldn't force him to like basketball. Li Zhi had no choice but to hold Avril Lavigne and fall asleep deeply.
On November 23rd, Andy Miller sent news that Anta Company launched Li Zhi's exclusive sneakers, the Warriors shined in this season, and Anta, who signed Li Zhi, naturally wanted to take the opportunity to launch Li Zhi's shoes, Andy Miller sent a picture, it was an orange shoe, orange is the main color of the Warriors' home stadium now, Li Zhi is very satisfied with this shoe, but I don't know what it feels like to wear it. After all, they have to wear their own clothes, and the money earned from selling shoes can only be regarded as additional income, and Li Zhi cares about the quality of shoes.
Anta's market is mainly domestic, and in foreign countries, Anta does not have such a high reputation, and with the signing of Li Zhi, Anta also wants to enter the foreign market. In China, Li Zhi can be said to be a hot mess, before Li Zhi, Yao Ming's sneakers are the best sales among domestic players, but even if Yao Ming is not less popular than Li Zhi, many people are still optimistic about Li Zhi in sneaker sales.
As we all know, big people's sneakers are not easy to sell, because the way they play on the court determines the lack of aesthetics, and they are not as good as the sales of sneakers for outside players.
In order to better deal with the Denver Nuggets, the Warriors did not arrange too much team training, Nelson just familiarized the Warriors players with the tactics and positioning, and then let the Warriors players move freely.
On November 24, the Warriors challenged the Nuggets away, and this game was also eye-catching.
The Nuggets traded Iverson for Chauncey Billups earlier this month, and in the first two games they got the Cavaliers and Celtics, and many pundits who were previously unoptimistic about the deal turned around and hyped Billups' importance to the Nuggets.
In the away locker room, the Warriors players are discussing this game, and with back-to-back victories over the Cavaliers and Celtics, the Nuggets are extremely strong, and the situation in this game is not optimistic.
O'Neill joked: "Don't worry, although they have changed people, but the inside line is still like that, I just blow them up again." ”
Dogleg Nick Young followed O'Neal and said: "That's it, the last game Shaq blew up their interior line, and this time it's the same." ”
O'Neill was photographed comfortably by Nick Young and laughed.
Everyone chatted, Milicic took the opportunity to go to Nelson, wanting Nelson to give him more time, O'Neal broke the Nuggets inside Martin and Nene in the last game, but Milicic was also blown up by Martin, and he wanted to get back to the court in this game.
Nelson was surprised by Milicic's request, which he didn't dare to take the initiative with the Pistons and Grizzlies, but it was a good start, and at least it could show that Milicic had the autonomy to play well.
Nelson told him: "I can give you time, but you have to defend and play with Shaq a lot. Jackson and Lee ask for advice, and when you're not defending the colander, your time will increase. ”
Nelson likes Milicic and the Warriors everyone knows that Milicic is too talented, such an all-round big man, as long as he is cultivated well, Nelson believes that Milicic can stand up to the Warriors' No. 4 position.
Of course, if Milicic had played a little tougher and could have been like O'Neal, maybe he would be the next Bosh or Garnett.
