Chapter 169: Heaven

At the beginning of the game, O'Neal won the ball and Lowry held the ball for half the court, although it was destined to be a defensive battle, but the Warriors' style was still fast.

Lowry was quick through the half, and Li Zhi and O'Neal looked at each other and followed closely.

The 76ers use a 122 defense, which can defend the interior very well, against O'Neal. O'Neill got to the low post, Samuel Delhambert didn't stand up to him head-on, the old shark's weight was there, and no one dared to do that.

Lowry hoisted the ball to O'Neal, O'Neal dribbled it, and Iguodala stepped forward to help defend, O'Neal has been too dangerous this season, and no team has treated him like an old shark.

One of the drawbacks of the 122 defense is that it is easy to be penetrated by teams with three-point shots. O'Neal passed the ball to Jackson, who caught it and threw it, but the three-pointer popped straight in.

Jackson didn't find his touch on the first shot, and Samuel Delhambert grabbed the rebound and gave it to Andre Miller.

Andre Miller dribbled the ball through the half, Elton Brand covered high, O'Neill didn't come out, Milicic followed, and Li Zhi stared at Brand, ready to help defend at any time.

Miller saw the situation and couldn't break through and passed the ball to Iguodala.

Iguodala was guarded by Jackson close to him, couldn't dribble the ball, and changed hands to pass the ball to Thaddeus Young.

Thaddeus Young is a 6-foot-8,100kg swingman with a standard small forward configuration, left-handed shooting, excellent physical fitness, and complete swingman offensive skills.

Before entering college, he was widely considered to be a good name for Durant, but in 2006, when Georgia Tech was a freshman, he did not play at the level he should have, and his form was up and down in a season, and sometimes he was almost lonely to the point of doing nothing, but towards the end of the season, he single-handedly overturned the talented North Carolina and regained the attention of scouts.

Li Zhi knows him, he is a rookie, so he put his shot in a targeted manner when defending, and Thaddejan now only has reliable shooting, and his dribbling breakthrough skills have not yet been practiced.

Under the interference of Li Zhi, Thaddeus Young missed the shot, O'Neal won the rebound, and the Warriors directly launched a fast break.

Iguodala stepped back quickly and kept up with Rich, and Thadderick Young soon came to the interior, and the 76ers didn't suffer from speed when they faced the Warriors.

Li Zhi turned his head to look at O'Neal, Iguodala knew that Li Zhi's breakthrough was a great threat, and he did not dare to make a rash steal, Li Zhi dribbled sideways under his crotch to avoid Iguodala's defense, and went straight into the penalty area.

Thaddejan made up for the position, and Li Zhi broke through and threw his left hand directly to O'Neal.

Samuel Delhambert returned to defense, but one-on-one meeting O'Neal was to give away points, O'Neal dribbled and put the ball directly into the basket against Samuel Delhambert's defense, Samuel Delhambert wanted to cry without tears.

The 76ers are extremely fast, coupled with dense defense, the Warriors played a lot of iron, and in the first 3 minutes, the Warriors did not score a single three-point shot.

The Warriors had O'Neal in the presence and turned to the inside attack, and O'Neal played several rounds in a row.

But the 76ers don't have this kind of treatment, Elton Brand, who originally wanted to kill, has not scored a point now, Milicic looked at Brand's face and snorted coldly in his heart, I want to score on the top of the master's head, no way!

Milicic did learn a few tricks from O'Neill, and the defense was targeted, and it turned out that there is still talent, just to see if he can meet Bole.

It wasn't until four minutes of play that the 76ers scored with Brand's mid-range shot, and Milicic's ball was shaken away by Brand with his footsteps, and Milicic did not lose confidence, but thought about Brand's shot.

Mark Jackson looked at Jeff Van Gundy and teased, "Who said it's a defensive battle, how can I look like a one-sided defensive battle?" The Warriors all scored 12 points, and the 76ers only scored 1 point. ”

Jeff Van Gundy said: "You look at the number of iron they play, it's not a defensive battle, it's just that the Warriors have O'Neal on the inside, otherwise the Warriors are the same." ”

Mark Jackson was not convinced and said: "What about the 76ers and Brand, isn't he an All-Star?" It's so hard to beat Milicic, it seems that it can't be done. ”

Barry Sr., who had been watching the old Barry on the field, said: "I like a kid like Milicic, he's been trying his best to defend, I don't know how it was before, but if he can maintain such patience, his ceiling is immeasurable. ”

Barry Sr.'s evaluation is really not low, but few people believe that Milicic is a rookie with James, and he has been playing for 5 years now, and he has the potential to let the Warriors package it with a Montaelis in exchange, and also come with a Kyle Lowry?

The Warriors attacked, Lowry dribbled the ball across the half court, and the high post was handed over to Rich. Li Zhi dribbled with his back, and Iguodala faced Li Zhi after changing defenses, and he was known as "Little AI" and had the physical fitness of the league's top defenders.

Li Zhi looked at the 76ers' position, O'Neal was caught by Brad and Samuel Delhambert and couldn't catch the ball, but that left Milicic empty.

Milicic had a shot, and Li Zhi passed it to Milicic without thinking about it. When Brand saw it, he immediately defended himself.

O'Neill asked for the ball one-on-one, opened his hand to ask Milicic for the ball, Milicic looked at the team boss asking for the ball, and then looked at Brand in front of him with a mocking face, and dribbled the ball directly.

O'Neill didn't expect Milicic not to give, but he didn't get angry, after so many years, from the peak gradually declined, he saw something clearly, and his temper changed a lot.

Milicic switched to a single with his back to Brand, and Brand thought that the young man was beyond his strength and posted it directly.

Milicic dribbled with his right hand and inadvertently turned to the left, Brand didn't shake, Milicic took another step to the right and made a shooting gesture directly.

Brand posted it this time, trying to block Milicic's shot, but unexpectedly flew in the air, but Milicic didn't move.

Milicic followed Brand's expression, looked sarcastic, and then shortened and dribbled directly into the restricted area for a dunk.

O'Neill squeezed his eyes, and Li Zhi and O'Neill looked at each other, and both saw the confusion in each other's eyes.

Milicic walked over like a victorious general, shaking his head in front of the two.

Li Zhi muttered: "Sows will go up the tree? ”

O'Neill nodded and said, "Why, it's heaven." ”

The 76ers attacked, Andy Miller broke through with the ball, trying to open the space, but the Warriors blocked the position, only Lowry ran alone on the perimeter, Iguodala was under Jackson's defense, the shot was missed, and O'Neal took the rebound and threw it to Rich.

Milicic's eyes lit up, and at a speed that no one had ever seen before, he actively ran to the frontcourt, and Li Zhi was still entangled with Iguodala and Thaddeus Young near the halfway line, and Milicic had already reached the basket.

The 76ers pressed the defense and didn't let the Warriors break fast, but they missed the most inconspicuous Milicic.

Li Zhi sent the ball directly out of the slit, Milicic received the ball, the basket was empty, and he dunked directly.

"Today, the master is going to heaven!"
