Chapter 234 Slaughtering the Remnant Rocket Formation
Even the Rockets head coach Rick Adelman was stunned. With this kind of attack speed, do the Warriors want to copy the Suns?But it seemed to be a little different. Adelman couldn't tell exactly what it was, but he just vaguely felt that that old lunatic, Old Nelson, must have the same crazy tactics!

Brooks was surprised to find that not only did Li Du have a strong defense outside the Warriors, but Curry, a rookie who had just entered the NBA, was also good at defense!As a last resort, the Rockets can only increase passing and running in order to find better shooting opportunities.

The Rockets are left with a remnant team, and they miss Tracy McGrady and Yao Ming very much now. If either of them is there, it takes so much trouble and care to play the Warriors. You only need to give the ball to any of them, and you can hit the ball. Wear the Warriors' defense!

After the Rockets guided the ball a few times, there was not much time left. Brooks could only force a shot, but the ball missed. Li Du grabbed the rebound, and before the Rockets could react, he killed the Rockets in the half court. It was easy. dunk.

The Warriors' offense was like a three-point rain, and their defense was like an impregnable siege. The Rockets had nothing to do. When they entered the rotation in the first quarter, they were already behind by as much as 11 points by 23 to 12!Seeing that the game only needs halftime to end, the second half will be all garbage time!

During the off-court break, Curry came to Li Du, who was standing on the sidelines and quickly recovering his strength, with a playful smile, and said with a smile: "Boss, there is no need to fight so hard, it's all like this, and you still need to stand up?"

Curry was a fan of Li Du before he entered the NBA. After entering the NBA, he got along with Li Du day and night and understood the meaning of Li Du's every action better.Li Du glanced at Curry and said, "Stephen, don't be careless! Remember, there are no underdogs in the NBA. No matter who the opponent is, we must go all out. The lion needs to fight the rabbit, let alone us?"

After all, Li Du stopped talking and quietly recovered his strength.He is now beginning to understand Kobe's difficulties back then. The success or failure of the entire team depends on himself alone. He must do his best!The Rockets we met today are just a broken team, which is a little bit better, but what if we meet a strong team like the Spurs or the Lakers?
Li Du still can't forget that when he met the Spurs in his first season, even though he had defended Parker so that he had no chance to make a shot, the Lakers were still easily eliminated by the Spurs.Basketball cannot be played by one person alone!

Because the Warriors had a lot of leads, Nelson gradually brought the main force back to the field in the second half of the second quarter.Li Du looked at the scoreboard. Now the Warriors still lead the Rockets by 43 points 36 to 7. The Rockets are short of scoring points. As long as they play normally, they will have no problem winning.

But Li Du was more greedy. He hoped to end the game in the first half of the third quarter, so Li Du gestured to Curry, Crawford and others, meaning, attack with all your strength and open three-pointers!

With the main force of the Warriors returning to the field, the game is finally no longer silent.Li Du pushed Hayes down in the supplementary defense, and then continued to rush forward, and ran to the front court as soon as he landed.After grabbing the ball, Curry didn't even look at it. With a push of both hands, he passed the basketball to the frontcourt.

Li Du wanted to wait for the ball, so he slowed down and received the basketball two steps from the free throw line. At this time, Brooks was already blocking the inside lane.Li Du didn't look at him at all, he slapped the basketball hard, and jumped up in three steps.

Brooks originally wanted to take advantage of Li Du's opportunity to expose the basketball, but when he saw Li Du's jumping height, he immediately gave up this idea.Li Du's chin almost surpassed the basket, following the power of gliding, he successfully dunked with both hands!

"Aaron!" Lowry greeted Brooks immediately, and he also wanted to catch the Warriors by surprise.

As soon as the basketball hit the ground and before Li Du landed, Brooks grabbed the basketball, retreated two steps beyond the bottom line, and swung the basketball towards Lowry with a single swing.

"Crack!" Li Du, who had just landed, took off again to an unbelievable height, and intercepted the basketball!
"Oops!" Seeing Li Du break the basketball, Brooks rushed to meet Li Du, ready to defend Li Du.At this time, Li Du was near the penalty area, and he could shoot with just raising his hand.

Seeing Brooks sticking up to defend, Li Du was not in a hurry to attack. Before the other players rushed back, he took Brooks to the outside of the three-point line.

Brooks saw that Li Du didn't take advantage of himself to hit him in the paint, but ran out of the three-point line, thinking that Li Du would slowly organize this attack.Although he followed Li Du and ran to the outside of the three-point line, he was unavoidably less nervous and relaxed a lot mentally.

Just when Li Du stepped out of the three-point line, Brooks was surprised to find that Li Du turned around and shot a three-pointer without any preparations!

"Swipe" the basketball into the frame.

Li Du didn't even look at Brooks, and ran back directly.

"How could it be..." Brooks looked at the back of Li Du returning to the defense, feeling powerless in his heart.When everyone thought that Li Du wanted to be steady, Li Du suddenly shot a cold arrow. This kind of terrible grasp of the opponent's psychology made people have no temper against him.

Under the leadership of Li Du, the Warriors met expectations and opened the score to more than 25 points in the first half of the third quarter, ending the game early.

In the end, the Warriors slaughtered the Rockets 123-96.Li Du's performance was terrifying. He scored 43 points, 7 rebounds and 9 assists in only three quarters. Under his leadership, the Warriors scored in double figures. The good data of assists is worthy of his No. 14 pick in the first round of the draft.

In the press conference after the game, the Warriors were asked the most questions not about the game. The reporters had already prepared for the game. They only asked one question. The Warriors scored 22 three-pointers today. The team assists up to 27 times.Is this a new tactic that the Warriors built around Li Du?
Regarding tactics, old Nelson answered. He said: "Our lineup is not complete. What you see now is just our tactics in the experimental stage. When Yao returns from injury, I will let everyone see this set of tactics. What the system really looks like!"

As soon as Nelson mentioned Yao Ming, the reporters asked questions one after another. The questions focused on two points. One was when Yao Ming would come back. Only when Yao Ming and Li Du were both on the court, the Ssangyong combination was truly formed!Another question is, the reporters have heard that Li Du worked for Yao Ming when he was injured. Is it because of Li Du that Yao Ming joined the Warriors?
To these two questions, Old Nelson and Li Du gave very vague answers. They just said that after all, Yao Ming suffered a broken bone and was injured for [-] days. Even if Yao Ming could return, it would be around the time of the All-Star Game!
