Chapter 161: Nelson's System
Under McMillan's system, Roy is very much needed to step up and play alone, which causes Roy to always be a point guard who always does the work of a point guard, resulting in a very sticky style of play at times.
was hit by Roy twice in a row***, Stephen Jackson was furious, and his heart will definitely give you some color in the next round.
The Warriors attacked, and Lee held the ball again. O'Neill also has no opinion, because in his heart.
Lee Chi is the heart of the Warriors, and while he's doing well, he doesn't think he'll be able to sustain that form.
Li Zhi and O'Neal blocked and created a singles situation again, but this time it was not Roy who faced Oden.
Oden and Li Zhi are old acquaintances, and they have been rivals since NC+, but they didn't expect that after coming to the NBA, the gap between the two is getting bigger and bigger, and now it seems that Li Zhi is like the champion, and Oden himself is the No. 8 show.
Although he admired Li Zhi in his heart, Auden's hand did not relax, Li Zhi accelerated, Auden's steps were not flexible, but Auden stretched out his long arm and pulled Li Zhi.
Li Zhi frowned slightly, but his speed did not decrease, and he went straight inside, and after attracting Aldridge's defense, he passed the ball to O'Neill under his crotch.
O'Neal slams out for a dunk, 10-6
Auden looked at the back of Li Zhi's defense, and couldn't understand why Li Zhi was able to improve so quickly. You know, people's physical fitness may be able to improve through acquired exercise, but the speed of the first step is innate.
The Trail Blazers attacked, Roy held the ball, Jackson pressed wildly close to each other this round, and Roy was in average physical condition and slightly uncomfortable.
He wasn't afraid of physical confrontations, but such confrontations obviously didn't make sense, so Roy passed directly to Fernandez.
Fernandez was overjoyed when he received the ball, and his chance came, but it was Roy who had already run away from Jackson and then opened his hand to ask for the ball.
Fernandez, who was about to spray trash talk with Li Zhi, turned dark, but still passed the ball quickly.
Roy received the ball from beyond the three-point line and pulled it out, but this time the ball was deflected and O'Neal grabbed the rebound again. Although Oden and Aldridge were already stuck this time, O'Neill used his strength to directly push the two away.
After O'Neal landed, he threw the ball directly to Lowry in the front court with one hand. O'Neal's passing skills are not covered in the interior either.
After Lowry received the ball, Blake was already in place, and Lowry looked at it and passed the ball to Rich.
Li Zhi received the ball on the run, went directly to the basket in the middle, and Fernandez chased after him for a block.
The corners of Li Zhi's mouth raised a slight arc, and his afterglow had already skimmed to Fernandez's position, throwing the ball directly onto the rebound.
Fernandez was in ecstasy, you idiot, eat me a thunderbolt fondue!
His body had come to Li Zhi in front of him, and he was about to catch the basketball, but at this moment Li Zhi suddenly jumped up, and Fernandez was horrified to see Li Zhi coming first, grabbing the basketball and dunking it with one hand.
Li Zhi's button, Fernandez was just in front of Li Zhi, this was a button, and the fans were in an uproar.
12:6
In the opening four minutes, the Trail Blazers were completely blinded by the Warriors except for Roy, and McMillan immediately called a timeout.
McMillan's system has always been known for its slow pace, and the enemy will often get caught in the rhythm of the Trail Blazers and then grind positions with them, but at this time, the Warriors have not slowed down, but have played faster and faster.
McMillan only took a timeout to make adjustments, but what McMillan has been criticized for is his rigid tactics, and the on-the-spot response can only emphasize the pressure of the rhythm again and again.
Barkley looked at the replay and said: "O'Neal and Li Zhi's blocking and dismantling are too powerful, Li Zhi's successive misplaced singles, the Trail Blazers are going to be played to death by Li Zhi." ”
Kenny Smith nodded: "Richie's attacking methods are becoming more and more guard-oriented now, his style of play was more projection-oriented last season, and this season he has strengthened his breakthrough to make him more lethal against tall insiders." ”
Barkley answered: "Not only is it to the inside, because of the height relationship, the Li Zhi team also has an advantage on the outside, but the Trail Blazers' forwards and guards are short, and the Trail Blazers are in trouble." ”
Look at you Smith looked at the court and sighed: "Nelson has carried out his tactics to the end this season, and the Warriors' sense of position is becoming more and more blurred, and I don't know if this idea can be successful." ”
This idea was not proposed by Nelson, but by Pat Riley, who once predicted that in the future, a team on the NBA court will be five swing men of about two meters, with ambiguous positions and all-round functions.
The first to put this idea into practice was Nielsen, over the years, Nielsen's ambiguous position tactics have caused him to contradict many stars, and the well-known Chris Webber was traded by Nielsen because he disagreed with Nielsen and refused to let him play multiple positions.
The current Warriors team already has three swingmen. Rich, Jackson, Barnes, this is getting closer and closer to Nelson's crazy idea, if it weren't for O'Neal's sudden form heat, maybe it would be Milicic in the center position, you must know that Jackson played as a center last season.
McMillan made changes to the lineup, replacing Stephen Blake and Oden with Batum and Joel Pulzbilla.
The goal is obvious, Oden is slow to defend in the first half of the quarter, so change to a tough defensive Purzbilla. Replace Batum and let Roy have more ball, because only when the ball is in Roy's hands, the Trail Blazers are the strongest Trail Blazers.
Offensively, McMillan let Roy single the small steel cannon and Aldridge single Barnes.
The small steel cannon faced Roy's lack of height, Aldridge was able to shoot easily on the offensive end, and Aldridge also had an advantage in the low post singles.
McMillan said to Fernandez: "I don't care how you defend, just bite Li Zhi to death for me today, your task is not to attack, or to defend!" ”
Fernandez nodded immediately, depressed in his heart, why couldn't he attack.
On the Warriors' side, Nelson did not adjust his tactics, that is, he misplaced Li Zhi and O'Neal, and let O'Neal and Li Zhi decide for themselves how to play.
After the timeout, Roy came to the right side of the court with the ball, saw Aldridge in position, and hoisted the ball to Ade. Aldridge's back has been talked about, and at this time, after taking the ball, he leaned on Barnes, and his feet were getting closer and closer to the inside.
After a few steps in a row, Barnes didn't shake up, and Ade didn't care, turning and shooting. Barnes interfered, but it was useless, not tall enough, and Ade made a steady shot.
12:8
Barnes was tough, but his lack of height was exploited by the Trail Blazers.
It was the Warriors' turn to attack, Fernandez blocked Li Zhi, prevented Li Zhi from receiving the ball, Li Zhi ran, and Fernandez chased.
Li Zhi was anxious, he still had to score, Fernandez was really annoying. Seeing that Li Zhi didn't have a chance, Lowry gave the ball to O'Neal, who singled out Purzbilla.
O'Neal is stronger than Purzbilla, but Purzbilla has a lot of small movements in his hands, O'Neal is upset, does not use technology, but directly pushes Purzbilla to the basket, and then bursts out.
Unexpectedly, Purzbilla dragged O'Neal behind his back, the basketball did not score, and the referee did not blow the whistle.
Missed decisions are common in the NBA, so after grabbing the rebound, Purzbilla passed directly to Roy.
