NBA Please Answer 2007

Chapter 202

On the side of the Warriors, Li Zhi did continuously rush into the paint and cause fouls. He has a strong physique and is not afraid of being fouled. The most annoying thing is Fernandez's disgusting personal defense, which makes him unable to find room to shoot.

In the second quarter, Pulzbila was beaten down by Li Zhi, and they replaced Channing Frye.McMillan has nothing to do, Channing Frye has offensive power, but the defensive segment provides too little help to the Blazers.

As soon as he played, the Blazers' inside defense weakened, and O'Neal became more difficult to restrain, and he could grab rebounds as much as he wanted. He changed his playing style and launched a fast break when he grabbed a rebound.

When O'Neal got the rebound, the Warriors had already reached the center line. As long as O'Neal made a long pass, the Warriors could score fast breaks.

Replacing Frye is not without benefits, the Warriors must defend, which gave Roy room to break through, and his touch gradually recovered.At the end of the second quarter, the Warriors led the Blazers by 12 points, all of which came from the time when Roy felt cold.

In the second half, the Blazers' offense did not improve at all, and Roy was still fighting alone.

They obviously lost to the Warriors in the lineup, and there are not many people who can use it.McMillan yelled on the sidelines to cheer up the Blazers, but in return it was indeed the Blazers who hit the iron again and again.

Roy scored a lot in the third quarter. He took a lot of shots. For the Warriors, Li Zhi also showed his strength, scoring 10 points in a single quarter. Fernandez had already fouled five times in the third quarter, and his face was ugly.

After the third quarter, the Warriors lead by 15 points, and the Trail Blazers are gone.In the fourth quarter, the Warriors continued to expand the point difference, leading by 20 points at the most. In the last few minutes, Nelson replaced the full bench lineup, but the Blazers failed to recover.

最终比分120：104，勇士大胜16分。李治打了32分钟，得到28分5篮板4助攻2抢断，效率极高。奥尼尔得到18分18篮板的大号两双。

Milicic, Jordan Jr., Jackson, and Crawford also played, and the Warriors scored in double figures.Roy had 40 points, 8 rebounds and 5 assists, but Aldridge scored only 9 points.

After the game, Roy returned to the locker room without looking at McMillan. Fernandez and Aldridge also had the same reaction as him.When the head coach does not get the respect of the core of the team, then what he does is a failure.

At the press conference, Roy said a few words casually, then found an excuse to go back, leaving a group of reporters staring.Lost, everyone was disappointed, there was nothing to say.

McMillan said that the Warriors lost because the lineup was worse than the Warriors. Aldridge is an important weapon for the team. If he doesn't perform well, it is difficult for the Blazers to win.

The Warriors became the protagonists of the press conference.In an interview, O'Neill said with a smile: "I never thought that my little brothers would make such great progress and win the game. They have contributed a lot." O'Neill deliberately gave the credit to Li Zhi and Milicic, pushing them into the spotlight.

Milicic said: "Joining the Warriors is a turning point in my career. I am very happy and I am willing to stay in Oakland forever."

When it came time to interview Li Zhi, the reporters all listened attentively to his every word.When talking about the victory in the series, Li Zhi said: "The Blazers are a respectable opponent. Fernandez has a strong defense and Roy is very good. I hope to meet them again in the playoffs next year."

When hearing this interview, Roy clenched his fists in the locker room, and they will definitely meet again next year.

It was rare for Li Zhi to be accompanied by Avril Lavigne that night, and he had a good night's sleep.After the first round of the playoffs, the Warriors rested for three days, and will fly to Los Angeles for the second round on May 5.

The Lakers have been resting for a week.

When she woke up the next day, Avril Lavigne said in Li Zhi's arms: "My dear, I will go to Los Angeles with you this time."

Li Zhi smiled and said, "Why did you think of going to the competition with me this time?"

"I want to spend more time with you. I know that you must be disappointed that you didn't go to the game last time. I promise, I will train myself to be a basketball fan in the future!" Avril said with her head raised.

Li Zhi felt a little distressed, touched Avril's hair affectionately, and said: "Thank you, you are so kind." He is a man who is clumsy in speech, and he can't say many intimate love words, so he can only hug Avril tightly in his arms.

Avril squeezed into Li Zhi's arms, and said, "Let's go on a trip together in summer, we can take Reynolds and your little Chinese girl with us."

Speaking of the little Chinese girl, Avril's tone was sour, Li Zhi smiled dumbly, and replied: "Okay, but after the draft is over, Renault will buy the shares of the Warriors, so we can go after finishing these things." Anyway, he is not afraid of the shadow, nothing happened to him and Ye Xiaoxiao, and there is nothing to escape.

But Ye Xiaoxiao, the little girl was interested in Lei Nuo. After Li Zhi introduced her to Lei Nuo, the little girl obviously lost sight of her.Li Zhi touched his face, could it be that he is less handsome than that sissy Lei Nuo?
On the night of May 5th, the Warriors took a flight to Los Angeles, and Avril Lavigne went with her friends.On the plane, the atmosphere of the Warriors was obviously a bit depressed, and it was rare for O'Neal not to joke.

Before the game was played, the Warriors' players were surrounded by anxiety.Li Zhi had the feeling that the warrior might kneel this time.

If O'Neal remains at his peak, the Warriors seem to have hope, but O'Neal's desperate depletion of energy will leave the Warriors without the most powerful nuclear weapon.

If the opponent in the second round is the Spurs or the Nuggets, the Warriors can still fight, but against the Lakers, the Warriors will probably be eliminated.

Entering the playoffs, the atmosphere at home in Los Angeles is extremely hot. Of course, this is not for the Warriors. All the Warriors get here are boos.

Experts are also not optimistic about the Warriors, predicting that the Lakers will advance to the Western Conference Finals 4:2.This is already giving the Warriors a lot of face. In fact, the Lakers have a certain degree of restraint on the Warriors' lineup. Coupled with the home court advantage, it is even more difficult for the Warriors to beat the Lakers, and the probability of winning is extremely low.

The players didn't have much confidence, and they didn't want to say anything, so they could only remain silent.

During the warm-up before the game, Milicic became extremely nervous and didn't make many open shots.Just as stressed as him are the Warriors' outside shooters. Morrow, Nick Young, and Crawford also don't feel very good.

Nelson felt the dull atmosphere in the Staples Center and wanted to relieve the players, but after a few words, the effect was not good.

Nelson told the players to play this game as a regular season and not care about winning or losing.But it's not easy to treat this game as a regular season amidst the overwhelming cheers of Staples.

Avril Lavigne and her friend Scarlett Johansson sat behind the Warriors' bench together, trying to make Li Zhi happy in different ways. Li Zhi was happy on the surface, but he was under great pressure in his heart.

Staples fanatics have never been modest, and they've always booed their enemies.

In this arena, the Celtics Big Three, the Spurs GDP, the Phoenix Bombardment Legion, and the unyielding fighter Iverson have fallen. Their self-confidence is illusory, but very real.

In order to defend Kobe, the Warriors changed the lineup again.O'Neal, Milicic, Li Zhi, Jackson, Barnes.

Nelson adopted the method of dealing with Roy in the first round of the series, and Li Zhi, Jackson, and Barnes took turns to consume Kobe.

The Lakers lineup is a regular starter: Fisher, Kobe, Ariza, Gasol, Bynum
In the first quarter of the game, Lee made a mid-range shot that caused Bynum to foul and made two free throws. Kobe immediately returned a clean jumper.O'Neill received an assist from Lee Zhi for a hook, and Bynum made a jumper with his footsteps. The two sides fought to a 4-4 tie.

The Lakers adopted a mixed defense. Ariza defended Li Zhi from the outside. If Li Zhi entered the three-point line, the Lakers' defensive center of gravity would move in the direction of Li Zhi, compressing Li Zhi's singles space.

Their compressed space is equivalent to letting go of Barnes. Barnes's ability to attack independently is limited, which is why the Lakers dare to adopt such a defense.

This style of play had an effect. Li Zhi was double-teamed by Ariza and Kobe in the low post. He couldn't get into the basket and could only pass the ball.

The Lakers' rotation speed is not slow, pass the ball out, Barnes strikes the iron, Morrow and Jackson have no space, the Warriors can only find O'Neal inside.

O'Neal had a grudge against the Lakers, so this game was extremely aggressive, but the Lakers restricted the Warriors' other points very well. After the first quarter, the Lakers led the Warriors by 6 points in the first quarter.

In the second quarter, the two sides had substitutes, and the Warriors' substitutes did not take advantage. Crawford and Nick Young continued to fight under the iron-blooded defense of the Lakers. In the second team, only Jordan Jr. received Crawford in the paint to feed the cake.

Morrow was strictly guarded by the Lakers. He showed an excellent three-pointer in the previous game. Jackson told the Lakers to defend the Warriors' three-pointer. Farmar did not let Morrow shoot. The Warriors could only rely on Crawford and Nick Young to break through to find opportunities.

Crawford was able to make a breakthrough, but was stopped by the Lakers several times at the basket.

If Crawford can't open it, he can't provide shooting opportunities for Morrow and Nick Young. He has the same problem as Li Zhi and is blocked.

The Warriors have been in a lagging state. The weakest No. [-] faced Fisher and had no chance to attack throughout the game.The Warriors are equivalent to self-defeating one arm, and one less scoring point.

The flaw in the power forward position is magnified infinitely because of the existence of Pau Gasol. No one in the Warriors can defend Pau Gasol.

Entering the playoffs, Kobe reduced his offense with the ball and created more opportunities for his teammates.

This is the lesson he learned in last year's finals. The strength of one person cannot lead the team to go further, and he can only let his teammates find the touch first.It's not how selfless Kobe is, it's that he has to.

Nelson has been luring Kobe. In the second half of the second quarter, Nelson sent Crawford to defend Kobe, just to lure Kobe to singles.But after two shots, Bryant felt something was wrong, it was a trap.

Kobe in singles is terrible, because he kills one thousand enemies and loses eight hundred. His shooting percentage has been bothering him. If the singles factor in his body can't be controlled, the Lakers are likely to lose the game.

Seeing that Bryant handed the ball to Gasol again, Nelson sighed, there was nothing he could do if the fish didn't take the bait.

He finally realized the pain of McMillan, the Warriors had a complete lineup and restrained the Blazers.But the Lakers are more reasonable than the Warriors, and Nelson is particularly distressed by the restraint of the point guard and power forward positions on the Warriors.

The Warriors' shooters got lost in the Lakers' crazy defense, and the Warriors lost the game 88:100 away.

Li Zhi performed well. The Lakers allowed Li Zhi to play singles and O'Neal to play singles. However, the most deadly weapon of the Warriors, the three-pointer, was defended by the Lakers.

The Warriors made 33 of 5 three-pointers in the game, and their shooting percentage was dismal. This is the way the Warriors play, and the Warriors are convinced to lose.

The Los Angeles media reports were titled "The strongest three-point team fell to Los Angeles" and "The era of three-pointers has not yet come".

No one criticizes the Warriors. It's not that they are weak, but that the Lakers play too well. Everyone knows that the Lakers play a triangle tactic, but they can't limit a singles Kobe and a singles Pau Gasol.

Gasol dominated the first half, Kobe Bryant dominated the second half, one 22 points, one 32 points, the Warriors except for Li Zhi's 26 points, the others did not play much.O'Neal was powerless, scored 9 points in the first half, and had nothing to do in the second half.

The two sides played the second game on May 5. The Warriors failed to find a tactic to deal with the Lakers and continued to lose at the Lakers' home court.

Crawford played well and scored 20 points, and Li Zhi also scored 22 points, but they still couldn't help the Warriors come back.

Milicic has suffered too much against Pau Gasol, he is still too young to pose a threat to Gasol at all.What is even more disappointing is Jordan, who has grabbed a total of 10 rebounds in two games. He was too nervous and lost himself in a forest where Gasol and Bynum formed a long-term man.

When I returned to Oakland, it was already May 5. On this day, the NBA officially announced several important awards.

Li Zhi did not get the best defensive player, but he also ranked second in the voting. Howard won this award. His biggest advantage over Li Zhi is that he played more games.Li Zhi missed many games, which affected his rating.

But no one questioned Li Zhi's defensive ability, because the best defensive team came out.

Dwight Howard, Kevin Garnett, Li Zhi, Kobe Bryant, and Paul Wu formed the best defensive lineup.

The best defensive second team is: Tim Duncan, LeBron James, Artest, Wade, Rajon Rondo.

Although many people are not convinced that Li Zhi suppressed James from the small forward position and was selected for the defensive team, but Li Zhi's defensive data is indeed better than James, and James has won the MVP that can better reflect his strength. Naturally, James' fans can't complain anymore.

James averaged 28.4 points, 7.6 rebounds and 7.3 assists per game, missing only one game.His statistics are good, and he led the Cavaliers to the league's first record. This award is well-deserved.

The best first team is center Howard, forward Nowitzki, James, guard Wade, Kobe Bryant.

The second team: Yao Ming, Duncan, Li Zhi, Roy, Paul.

Third team: Gasol, O'Neal, Anthony, Billups, Parker.

Pierce failed to be selected to the best team, which is quite controversial. What makes the Celtics even more unbearable is that none of the Celtics' Big Three was selected to the best team.

What caused fans to discuss is that Li Zhi, James, Kobe and Howard were all selected to the best team of the year and the best defensive team of the year, which is a rare phenomenon.

For the Warriors, this is good news.Both O'Neal and Li Zhi were selected to the best team, which made the dull Warriors so confused.

The Warriors discovered at this time that we are not worse than the Lakers.Both the Lakers and the Warriors have been selected to the best team, so there is no chance of a battle.
