Kyle Lowry held the ball and looked at Li Zhi, Li Zhi waved his hand to signal Lowry to decide for himself, and Li Zhi also wanted to see how much combat power the small steel cannon could play.

Lowry nodded, calculating the situation on the court in his heart, and at the same time holding the ball on the outside, but Paul on the opposite side was obviously more active in defense, and the rookie Lowry still couldn't let go.

Last season, Chris Paul played MVP-level statistics, and although he lost to the Warriors in both preseasons this season, he still performed strongly, and in the first two preseason games, Paul was ruthless to Lowry, and it is not an exaggeration to say that Lowry was over.

As soon as Li Zhi saw this situation, Lowry was hesitating and was about to make a mistake again, so Li Zhi took the initiative to go around to the top of the arc and opened his hand to ask for the ball. Kyle Lowry was pardoned, and the pass came instantly.

Seeing this, O'Neal went straight to the top of the arc to make a block and brought out Hornets center Tyson Chandler.

Lee wasted no time, and this kind of combination with O'Neal has been used countless times in preseason and intra-team training games, which is the most powerful tactic of the Warriors.

Li Zhi's three-point accuracy and breakthrough are sharp, and Peja, who defends him, does not dare to go around the cover, because then Li Zhi is likely to directly pull out three points on the outside, this kind of ball in the preseason against the Pelicans, Li Zhi did not shoot less.

So in the face of Li Zhi's extremely fast breakthrough, Peja could only forcibly squeeze past O'Neal's cover and wanted to keep up with Li Zhi, but O'Neill would use some small movements on his arms or legs at this time, these small movements were very hidden, the referee couldn't see them, and Peja couldn't say anything about the bitterness in his heart.

In this case, the defender in front of Li Zhi became Tyson Chandler who guarded the restricted area, and the small fight was big, Li Zhi easily shook it off, and went straight to the basket to score two points.

"Lowry's wonderful pass, O'Neal blocks, Li Zhi breaks through! The Warriors score two points first! ”

Then the Hornets attacked, and the task of the Hornets' ball-control organization undoubtedly fell into the hands of the "Queen Bee" Paul, whose organization has been blown up by NBA experts.

In O'Neal's words, Paul has Nash-like break-throughs, Kidd's passing, and Iverson-like dribbling.

Although O'Neal is exaggerating, Paul is indeed on par with the three top point guards in terms of breaking, passing, and dribbling, and Paul has one thing that is better than Nash, Kidd, and Iverson - defense.

As the second in the West last year and the first in the West before the All-Star, he was bombed twice by the Warriors who did not make the playoffs in the preseason, which was unbearable, so Paul came up and started the attack mode.

Paul is not only a great playmaker, but also a great scorer, averaging 22.1 points per game last season.

Paul rarely fights singles, and after calling Tyson Chandler's block, Paul also broke directly into the inside, and the small steel cannon trembled in the arms of the boxing champion, and he couldn't squeeze through.

But the Warriors also have Barnes on the inside, and Barnes has only two roles in the Warriors' starting lineup — defense and rebounding. Considering O'Neal's ageing, the scramble for rebounds is a little overwhelmed, and having a pure blue-collar Barnes on the court can effectively relieve O'Neal's pressure.

And Barnes also has a certain shooting ability, can shoot threes from the outside, can give O'Neal an inside single, or Li Zhi breaks through to open up space.

After a confrontation in the air, Paul passed the ball from behind to Tyson Chandler, who received the ball with a violent dunk.

After Chandler scored, he glared at Barnes in front of him, Barnes was a nervous man who did not react to Chandler's provocation and threw himself into the offensive end amid a shout from O'Neal.

The old shark felt that his younger brother Chandler was humiliated, and Barnes played a big role beside O'Neal, helping to get stuck in the position, and O'Neal hit Chandler when he returned to the offensive end.

After scoring, O'Neill did not forget to taunt the opponent, followed the Chandler look like his eyes and stared, and his mouth was full of words: "Look at it, your defense is not as good as my grandma!" ”

Chandler snorted coldly, returned to the offensive end to grab the position with O'Neal, and said unforgivingly: "You are so old, can't you talk less?" ”

Some people are born with extremely strong self-esteem, and O'Neal is taboo to others to say that he is old, during an intra-team training match, Milicic said "old guy" on the cheapest, and then O'Neal put a hammer on the ground, and the locker room was hidden.

So in order to prove that he is not old, O'Neal hummed and said: "I don't know who it was in the preseason, I was pressed to the ground and rubbed, and I couldn't grab the rebound!" ”

Li Zhi ran on the offensive end, and the veteran shooter Peja was tired of coping, and finally let Li Zhi get an open space at the 15-second mark, but Li Zhi received a pass from Lowry and wanted to shoot, but Rasso Butler had already made up for it.

After making a feint, Li Zhi did not shake off Butler, and immediately passed the ball to Stephen Jackson on the left perimeter, and Stephen Jackson threw the ball after receiving it, and the three-point shot went into the net.

5：2

O'Neill walked in front of Tyson Chandler with his toes in front of him like a victorious king, and he was still grunting.

Back on the defensive end, Li Zhi still stood from a distance and watched, seeing that there were loopholes there and making up for the defense in time.

Paul still broke through the assist this time, but Lowry was still deceived by Paul, and followed Paul around, only to find that the basketball had reached David West outside the box.

David West is the Hornets' No. 2 scorer, averaging 18.3 points per game last season, and his 2.06 height blurs the line between power forward and center, especially in mid-range shooting.

After hearing the sound of the hoop "swish", the Nets scored two points.

Li Zhi couldn't help but glance at David West more, and wondered if David West would choose to hug the warrior's thighs in this life.

5：4

The Warriors attacked, and the small steel cannon took advantage of Paul's opportunity to make up for Li Zhi, received the ball and broke through, and won the first point of the game.

Zhang Li said: "Lowry is a good point guard, breaking through and defending extremely well, and I hope to grow up next to Li Zhi." ”

Yu Jia analyzed: "However, these two rounds did not take advantage of Paul, a small defender, and he was teased twice in a row, which can be regarded as a bloody lesson." ”

Zhang Li and Yu Jia continued to analyze, and when the two analyzed, the situation on the court began to develop in an unfavorable direction for the Warriors.

After several rounds of fighting, the New Orleans Hornets finally showed his stinger, and after two successful defenses, Paul led the team to a fast break, and the score instantly came to 5:9

The Warriors' two offenses weren't unreasonable, both chances were empty, but Lee's mid-range shot was empty once, and Jackson was empty once.

Inside sharks O'Neal and Barnes didn't grab the rebounds, creating the situation.

In the next attack, Li Zhi played a time difference, received a pass from Lowry, and broke through, causing a Chandler foul on the inside.

Hit both free throws.
