Against the Spurs, Nelson changed his starting lineup. O'Neal, Milicic, Rich, Gerrard Green, Stephen Jackson, and Crawford are back on the bench again.

Gerald Green started and Nelson had his own ideas. Playing the Suns on the court made Nelson feel the charm of a big and four small lineup, O'Neal is a pillar of optimism on the inside, Milicic is also a space forward with a three-point range, and the outside line is Li Zhi, Jackson, Gerald Green, three swing men, this lineup has no point guard, Li Zhi and Jackson are the first to eat the ball.

O'Neal has no advantage against Duncan, Nelson has to change the lineup, the regular lineup is not the opponent of the Spurs, and this big and four small lineup is just Nelson's experiment.

The five defenders formed a 23-in-1 formation, with Gerard Green playing against Bruce Bowen, who had the least attacking power, and always keeping an eye out for the Spurs' pick-and-rolls. Milicic is also not a problem against Oberto, and Lee is the biggest advantage for the Warriors against Finley.

Nelson's change of formation was effective at the beginning, although O'Neal did not have an absolute advantage over Duncan, but he had great strength, carrying Duncan like a hill, so that Duncan, who wanted to play the board, had no space and missed many shots.

Duncan can't attract the bag, the Spurs offense can't be opened, O'Neal's task in this game is to defend Duncan, and the offense is handed over to other players.

O'Neal is not afraid of fouls, even if he has two fouls, there is still a brute force Jordan Jr. sitting on the Warriors bench who can fill his vacancy, so O'Neal has no worries on the defensive end.

Parker was stuck to Stephen Jackson, and Stephen Jackson's defense and Bruce Bowen were a routine, both of which were more small and unclean. Although he didn't have black feet, Parker still couldn't find the touch.

The two main scorers were harassed by the Warriors and the Spurs started to struggle.

Li Zhi's offense was very smooth, the breakthrough was escalated, and in the constant unrhythmic changes and downward changes, Bruce Bowen's small movements were useless.

Iverson's breakthrough is very different from Kobe's breakthrough, because of physical fitness, Iverson's breakthrough is far away from the defender and requires more space, while Kobe, Anthony and others like to use their physical advantages to break through.

Li Zhi didn't hit back, and if he broke through and didn't give Bowen a chance to fight physically, Bowen couldn't make small moves. If Bruce Bowen sticks out his black feet or something in a fit of rage, then don't blame Li Zhi for being unkind.

The Spurs' offense was stagnant, the Warriors' offense was smooth, and after the first quarter, Li Zhi scored 12 points, and the Warriors led the Spurs.

In the second quarter, the Warriors replaced Crawford, Nick Young and Morrow to steal points, and Barnes took on Ginobili. Nick Young performed well in this quarter, not only being efficient offensively, but also giving Finley a big hat defensively.

After the block, Nick Young's mistake was made again, shaking his head at Michael Finley again and again, and he was beaten by Finley in the next round.

Shaking his head, Nick Yang studied with Li Zhi, but he didn't expect that stealing chickens would not lead to a counter-erosion, which made Nick Yang extremely unhappy.

Also affected by Lee's outfit ratio was Milicic, who scored five points in the second quarter and performed well. However, Milicic pretended to be a three-pointer and listened to boos at the Spurs' home court, and was whistled for a technical foul by the referee.

This kind of thing is the prerogative of superstars, and Milicic is obviously not at this level, but this guy's natural advantage is two-to-one, and he deserves it.

Relying on the excellent play of the bench group, the Warriors led the Spurs by 10 points at halftime.

In the third quarter, the Spurs, led by Parker, Ginobili and Duncan, fought back and once narrowed the score to 5 points.

After the game, the Warriors defeated the Spurs 100-93, and the process was tortuous and not easy.

Li Zhi played 34 minutes, scored 29 points, 3 rebounds, 7 assists, 2 steals and 2 blocks, and defended Michael Finley as a blacksmith.

After this game, Li Zhi's average points per game came to 29 points, and the average points per game that was pulled down some time ago are back. On the scoring list, Richie's 29 points ranked second behind James' 28.4 points, and Wade's 30.5 points were first.

The next day, the Warriors faced the Rockets back-to-back, the goal of two consecutive wins was not achieved, Maddy was sidelined due to injury, but the Warriors lost the game 99-108, but there was an episode in this game.

In recent months, sources have continued to report that the discord and distrust between Rockets star Maddie and the team have intensified. And after this game, the conflict between Maddie and Adelman has become more and more obvious.

Before the game, Maddie once appeared on the court wearing a jersey to participate in the team's pre-game shooting warm-up. When Maddie walks back to the locker room after warming up, she and Adelman meet unexpectedly in the hallway.

Adelman was stunned by the fact that Maddy was wearing a jersey! You know, the jersey was personally asked by Maddie himself from the team's equipment manager. However, the problem is that Maddie knows that she can't be activated before the day's game. As a result, the contradiction between the two arose. The reason why Maddie is so self-asserted is that some people understand that he is trying to persuade and even blackmail Ah Shuai to agree to his comeback with his actions.

Later, Adelman returned to the locker room and went with Maddie to the coach's office next door. During this period, Rockets privilege star Maddie has a slamming move! And according to eyewitnesses at the scene, the conversation between the two in the office was very intense, and there were quarrels from time to time.

Apparently, Maddie is making a big fuss in the locker room! The fact that the generals are not in harmony has also surfaced!

There are also sources that Maddie began to question whether the Rockets still need to bring him back, taking a step back and saying whether he actively wants Maddie to rest and then get the insurance money.

Because, if Maddie has been resting, then the Rockets are expected to be compensated with a large salary. According to league rules, once a player misses 41 games, the team can be compensated 80% of the salary.

And a coincidence was the 42nd game in a row that he missed against the Warriors. In addition, the league also stipulates that the more games missed, the more additional compensation the player's team will receive.

There is also speculation that the Rockets' locker room conflict stems from management's distrust of Maddie. Averaging 15.6 points, 5 assists and 4.4 rebounds per game has dropped Maddie from the position of a first-line superstar. Without Maddie, the Rockets' record is becoming more and more solid, which makes Maddie feel a crisis.

Many Rockets fans can't help but feel a little sad for Maddie, the hero is twilight, and sighs that he is not a teenager.

What awaits Maddie may be the same ending as Iverson, who was sold and traded, and has never been seen by everyone since.
