Nelson sees Milicic's potential, his height and arm span are top-notch, and his skills are comprehensive, and it is rare to meet such a big man in the league, what he lacks is only his heart.

The 76ers attacked, Iguodala took the ball to the inside, there was no outside shooter, and the Warriors just did a good job of blocking the inside. The basket was full of people, and Elton Brand received the ball from Iguodala and gritted his teeth to dunk.

O'Neal was stuck in position by the meat shield Samuel Delhambert, and Milicic's eyes were red, and he jumped fast and slapped the ball down.

There are too many excellent peers around him, and Milicic has made a lot of progress in defense under the subtlety, which is quite a taste of changing his past.

A dunk, a block, and the Warriors' morale was boosted.

Thaddeus Young sent a throw-in, Miller handed over the high post to Brand, who pulled the high post, and Brand's feet were very light, shaking off the gritted Milicic, turning to the right side, and hitting the board to shoot.

But after a few slaps on the basket, the basketball jumped out.

Milicic stuck the position and gave O'Neal a chance to grab the rebound, Milicic is thin and it is not easy to carry Elton Brand.

Brand was normally in a bad mood and shoved Milicic to the ground. Seeing this, O'Neill and Jackson immediately surrounded Milicic, and Li Zhi also walked over.

The 76ers players were at a loss except for Iguodala who went up to persuade them. O'Neal's size was there, directly blocking the view of several 76ers players.

Iguodala stood between Brand and the Warriors players, and the referees blew the whistle amid boos from the court.

The game was suspended due to an accident, the Warriors players were standing on the bench, Milicic handed a glass of water to O'Neal, O'Neal opened his mouth to say something, but Milicic had a cold face, and O'Neal instantly felt that Milicic on the court just now was fake.

The result of the penalty came in quickly, and Brand was technically fouled and a free throw was thrown.

When the game restarted, Elton Brand didn't play again. Elton Brand covered his face with a towel, he was largely responsible for the poor start to the season, and his relationship with his new team-mates was mediocre.

Losing the interior core, the 76ers were crippled by the Warriors in the following period.

O'Neill, the big shark, called for wind and rain on the inside, staging all kinds of violent dunks. Milicic felt hot and turned into a little prince.

At the end of the first quarter, the Warriors led the 76ers at 35-12.

The two sides came off the bench in the second quarter, and the 76ers fielded a second lineup with center Samuel Dalhambert, power forward Reggie Evans, small forward Marshall, shooting guard Willie Green, and point guard Louis Williams.

The Warriors' bench is noticeably more animalistic, with Nelson keeping Milicic on the court to make the Warriors more aggressive on the inside, with Milicic and Crawford at the heart of the second lineup.

Milicic's ability is stronger than Jordan Jr., especially offensively, in the first lineup, there are Li Zhi and O'Neal, and the offense is not his turn, which is a bit of a waste of attacking power.

After these games, Nelson made a lot of adjustments back and forth, and finally decided to use Milicic as the core of the second team.

He plays off the bench, not only can he attack in the low post, but also shoot from a distance, and poor defense will no longer be the team's colander, complementing Jordan Jr., with one main rebound, heavy defense, and one pull-out shot or low post single.

Half a quarter passed, Milicic scored 8 points in a row, including a three-pointer, a mid-range shot, and a low-post offensive 2+1, and led the bench group to widen the gap with Crawford.

Mark Jackson looked at the game and said, "The Warriors have been amazing this season, they don't have any big stars, but they have a very well-rounded roster. Veteran O'Neal has returned to the top of Nelson's system, and Milicic has gradually grown this season, and judging from this game alone, Milicic has the level of a mid-to-mid player in the league. ”

Jeff Van Gundy lamented: "If Milicic can improve his defense, the hole in the Warriors' No. 4 position can be closed. The big hat just now can see the transformation of Milicic's defense, and I can't imagine why Milicic didn't play in the Pistons and Grizzlies. What do you think of Milicic compared to this year's rookie Lefou? ”

Rick Barry said: "Love is a little bit stronger, he can help the team on both ends of the pitch, while Milicic is more of an attacking role. He's like a bankrupt version of Yao Ming, his height is not good, his physical fitness is comparable, and it's hard to find a player of the same height, and it's hard to find a well-rounded interior player like him, and I think if he improves his defense, or has a good teacher, it won't be a problem to become a qualified starter in the future. ”

Then Rick Barry said with a smile: "But it's enough to bring a bench, if Milicic is there, he and Crawford are inside and out, which is a reduced version of the starting level, you find no, the tactics of the Warriors' second team are the same as the tactics of the starters." ”

The other two experts naturally did not fail to find out that Nelson used Milicic as O'Neal, but Milicic was more outside.

In the second half of the second quarter, the two sides made substitutions.

Iguodala was back on the court, and Elton Brand was also brought up, but Brand was not in great shape, sometimes hitting iron in attack and being noticeably slow defensively. Originally, the 76ers were behind, and the 76ers were at a disadvantage when the stars played, and the halftime score was 61-41 by a full 20 points.

In the third quarter, Li Zhi led the team, scored 10 points in a single quarter, and continued to exaggerate the lead, making the fourth quarter completely garbage time. The 76ers scored only 58 points in the third quarter, and the home court was completely abused.

The Warriors outscored the 76ers by 21 points 95-74. In the fourth quarter, the 76ers had no intention of fighting, and Milicic, who was replaced again in the last quarter, took the opportunity to brush up on a 26-point data.

The victory in this game proved the correctness of Nelson's tactical direction, and also let everyone see the failure of the 76ers' recruitment.

Li Zhi was 12 of 27, 6 of 9 free throws, and got 30 points, 3 rebounds, 5 assists, 3 steals and 4 blocks.

Elton Brand shot abadly, scoring 16 points, seven rebounds and three assists on 19 shots. Such data is obviously not worthy of his big contract of 82 million in 5 years. Judging from the game, he was more of a parallel commodity than Milicic, and he was rewarded with two big hats by Milicic in the low post.

Iguodala, who was opposite Li Zhi, was even worse, in the second half, Li Zhi concentrated on defense, and Iguodala played completely abnormally, scoring 4 points only by making free throws.

When leaving the court, Li Zhi and Iguodala hugged and said: "In the future, if you can't mix up in 76, you will come to the Warriors, and it is still okay to play a sixth man." ”

Iguodala thought that Li Zhi was laughing after reading it, and gave a punch all the way with a smile.

In the post-game press conference, Iguodala was not at all sad about his dismal performance, but praised the Warriors' performance, leaving everyone confused.

Milicic played a career-high with 26 points, 9 rebounds and 2 blocks, and O'Neal had 17 points and 8 rebounds, and he didn't play much seriously after the first quarter.

The Warriors' name is ringing again, people seem to see the rise of a Western powerhouse, the Celtics won the championship last season, defense is their main weapon, and now the Warriors are also using defense as their regular weapon.

Offensively, the Warriors actually did not meet Nelson's expectations, and still relied on Li Zhi, O'Neal, Crawford, and Jackson to score, but the Warriors' defense was too dense, relying on their youth, and they dared to play infinite defensive changes in the regular season.

O'Neal is the key on the inside, Lee and Jackson are second in the league in combined defense from the outside, Kobe Bryant and Fisher are at the front of them, and Ray Allen and Rondo of the Celtics are only third.
