NBA Please Answer 2007

Chapter 244 Found a Treasure
In the second half, Nelson sent a lineup of Crawford, Jackson, Li Zhi, David Lee, and Jordan, and started a deadlock with the Lakers.

But after the third quarter, the Warriors at home fell into a bad situation.The Lakers improved their defensive strength. Kobe made two key mid-range shots against Li Zhi's defense. The Lakers led the Warriors by 4 points at the end of the third quarter.

The Lakers began to battle the Warriors in the second half. After Gasol recovered, he continued to score for the Lakers contributors.And the Lakers' new aid, Ron Artest, stalked Li Zhi's touch in the third quarter.

Li Zhi was distracted for a while, and the leisurely mood in the first half disappeared. The Warriors' bombardment was completely held back by the Lakers' defense.

Nelson adjusted the lineup, replacing Crawford with rookie Beverly, and Barnes replaced David Lee. The Warriors had to return to the point forward style of play again.But the Lakers are clearly prepared for the Warriors' changes, compressing the defense inside, and Artest single-handedly defends Li Zhi.

The tactics against the Lakers in last season's playoffs failed this time. Artest's defense is not a bit stronger than Ariza's. Although Li Zhi's single defense is not locked, it makes it very difficult for Li Zhi to score every time.

At 1 minute and 45 seconds into the fourth quarter, the Warriors trailed by 5 points.Nelson called a timeout, replaced by Crawford and David Lee, and Lee served from the sidelines.

Crawford threw off Fisher, who was chasing him, and hit a three-pointer after catching the ball at the top of the arc, reducing the difference between the two teams to 2 points.

More than 2 fans at the Oracle Center had no time to stand up and cheer, and saw the Lakers serve fast break, Kobe went straight and scored 2 points before the Warriors had time to react.

The next time the Warriors attacked, the Lakers directly adopted foul tactics and directly chopped Jordan.

On July 2016, 7, the league officially announced today that the league council agreed to restrict intentional off-ball fouls in the 3-2016 season.Essentially, this is a limiting tactic used by the league to hack the shark.

That is to say, in the last 2 minutes of the game, players without the ball cannot be fouled.But this policy has not yet been announced, and the Warriors can only suffer from being dumb.

Jordan's free throw percentage was not much better than O'Neal's, and he missed the first free throw.

Li Zhi had a hunch that Jordan might not make the second free throw.The Lakers were also ready to grab the rebound. At the moment Jordan made the shot, David Lee blocked Artest, and Li Zhi rushed in beside Artest.

"Boom!" Li Zhi made a dunk with both hands. Amid the cheers of the Warriors fans, Li Zhi called the Warriors back to defense quickly.

Time is running out, 47 seconds.

The Lakers did not call a timeout and served the ball from the backcourt. The Warriors did not take foul tactics and fell behind by two points. They started a tight defense.Li Zhi defended against Kobe, and the Lakers couldn't reach Kobe's serve.Artest passed the ball to Fisher, and Beverley and Jackson immediately went up to double-team, forcing Fisher to the sideline.

Jackson and Beverley didn't leave Fisher a little space. Phil Jackson on the sidelines of the Lakers looked merciful and indifferent to everything.Fisher himself called a timeout.This is the style of the "Zen Master", Buddhist tactics, and everything is resigned.

38 seconds left.

Bynum served from the sidelines, Kobe and Gasol picked and rolled, and Artest finally received the ball, but Li Zhi rushed directly in front of Artest, blocking Artest on the sideline with both arms.

Artest dribbled the ball with difficulty, Li Zhi lowered his center of gravity, and stabbed Artest's ball away.The fans shouted excitedly when they saw the shocking scene, but Li Zhi has not got the ball yet.

Artest bared his teeth and claws, and Li Zhi trembled together, the two of them grabbed a basketball with four hands, Kobe and Beverly also joined the battle group seeing this.

"Beep, beep!" The referee whistled, and the two sides scrambled for the ball.

Artest frowned and complained to the referee, but the referee was indifferent.

"He stepped on the line! He stepped on the line!" Artest said to the referee over and over again. The black referee made a "stop" gesture to Kobe, and Artest went to fight for the ball with Li Zhi angrily.

"Dog referee, he stepped on the line, he must be blind!"

Artest grumbled as he walked towards the crowd, only to hear another whistle from the referee.

"Du~" A short and powerful whistle instantly stunned Artest, and the Warriors cheered from the audience.

Li Zhi clapped his hands vigorously, and watched Kobe go over to complain to the referee again in a funny way.

Technical foul, one free throw and one throw, Li Zhi received the referee's order to make a free throw and raised his eyebrows at Artest.Li Zhi also felt that he stepped on the line with the ball when he was fighting just now, but can he admit this?cannot.

The referee must have seen it too, but he didn't know why he didn't blow Li Zhi.But no matter what, the situation is now favorable to the Warriors.

Li Zhi made a free throw, and the difference between the two teams was only 1 point. The Lakers beat the Warriors 99 to 98.
Nelson called a timeout and replaced Yi Jianlian.The domestic fans were very happy to see this scene. The UAE's physical fitness, rebounding, and defense are not as good as Jordan, but the shooting touch is not comparable to Jordan.

The Lakers, who had originally adopted foul tactics, suddenly lost their attack target. In a hurry, Gasol hugged Yi Jianlian and fouled.

Yi Jianlian was nervous, and being replaced at a critical moment was enough to see how much Nelson valued him.Yi Jianlian adjusted his posture and made the first free throw.

The second penalty continues.Warriors overtake Lakers 100-99 by 1 point.
With 21 seconds left, the Lakers called a timeout.Phil Jackson arranged tactics for the Lakers, but Nelson said directly: "Pay attention to Kobe and Fisher, George chases Kobe, Beverly blocks Fisher, don't let the two of them catch the ball, squeeze them into the three-point line, can it be done?"

Nelson didn't look at Li Zhi, but looked at Beverly.He doesn't need to worry about Li Zhi's tactical execution ability. What Nelson is worried about is Beverly.Beverly has a fierce defense and a positive attitude. The defense of the Warriors point guard has always been a loophole. Now there is such a person who can fill this loophole, and Nelson is willing to train him.

Beverly took a deep breath and looked at Fisher on the other side with a fierce look in his eyes.

"can!"

Curry looked at the excited Gou with a towel, and was very envious. Gaining the trust of the coach at the critical moment is not the treatment that every rookie can have, at least he does not.

Back from the timeout, Odom served from the sidelines, and Kobe and Fisher crossed positions.Gasol and Artest cover, creating opportunities for the two.

Li Zhi defended against Kobe. Now is not the time for fouling, he is just facing to prevent Kobe from receiving the ball.Fisher ran out of the crowd and reached out to catch the ball. Brother Gou flew out in an instant and blocked Fisher.Fisher caught the ball, but couldn't dribble.

Fisher is very anxious now, and he feels the same as Westbrook now.Why is this little black guy like a dog?
Seeing this, Kobe pushed Li Zhi away, and ran in the opposite direction to cover Fisher. The battle between the two instantly became a four-person battle.Fisher and Kobe passed the ball hand in hand, Li Zhi followed Fisher and ran away, but Kobe's ball was taken away by Gouge.

Kobe was furious. He was very uncomfortable being defended by Li Zhi today. He was intercepted by Li Zhi 4 times in the whole game, and now he has to be intercepted by a rookie. This is absolutely unbearable.

Heaven makes people perish, it must first make them crazy.Kobe went crazy and hit Beverly. He was very strong, and Beverly, who was running towards the ball, flew out directly under Kobe's strong force.

"F——K!" Brother Gou didn't expect his idol to hit him like this, and fell to the ground cursing.The referee missed the judgment just now, and now he turned a blind eye to Kobe's foul and did not whistle.

The referee even thought of an excuse. If he was questioned about missing a judgment in the future, he said that the players should decide the game at the last moment.listen!What a lofty professional ethics.

The referee was thinking, but saw a group of black and white shadows running past in front of his eyes, he only heard an "ah", and then saw Kobe fell to the ground.

The "black and white" is Beverly, Beverly is a real villain, a villain who fights an eye for an eye, a person who must retaliate.Kobe is now lying on the ground clutching his abdomen, which is Beverly's masterpiece.

Artest saw that the boss was knocked over, and immediately ran towards Beverly. "Xiao Hei"'s small body couldn't withstand the impact of Artest, a strong man second only to James, and sat down on the ground again.

Who did I provoke?Hit labor one by one?

Li Zhi grabbed Artest, and Artest continued to look for him, muttering: "Don't pull me, I have to fuck him to death today!"

"Hehe, let me see if you move again..." Artest frowned, the voice sounded so familiar.Turning his head to look, Stephen Jackson's plain face came into view.

"Hehe, I'm just saying..." Artest twitched the corner of his mouth and said.This is "Wu Sheng", can you move now?Back then, he was the one who overwhelmed a group of people with one punch, and his combat power was several grades higher than his own, okay?

"Beep beep beep beep beep!" The referee blew the whistle quickly, now he can't pretend to be dead, it seems that a ghost knocked Kobe over, and the two sides were about to fight.

In the end, the referee blew a malicious foul on Beverly, a technical foul on Artest, a total of two technical fouls, and a direct penalty...

Kobe clutched his stomach and got up and made two free throws, and it was Beverly who made the free throw for the Warriors.Kobe stared at Beverly fiercely, Brother Gou turned his head and trotted to make a free throw.

Beverly also made a free throw, and the two teams tied.But then the Lakers failed to make a comeback and lost Artest. Li Zhilian's 4 points directly killed the game.The Warriors won the opening game with difficulty at home.

Li Zhi played 37 minutes, scored 27 points, 5 rebounds, 2 assists, 5 steals and 2 blocks. He dominated the offense and defense in regular time.Curry played 28 minutes and scored 14 points and 7 assists. Although his debut was not as good as some superstars, it was not bad.Jordan has 9 points, 16 rebounds and 1 block. Regardless of his offensive ability, he can already be regarded as a first-class center.

For the Lakers, Kobe scored a game-high 31 points and Gasol scored 21 points, 7 rebounds and 2 assists, but the Lakers lost.

The most eye-catching performance in the game was Patrick Beverly. The two defenses at the critical moment made the Warriors fans excited. He had 5 points, 2 rebounds and 2 steals. He may not be as good as Curry's debut data, but it is surprising. You know, this is a second-round rookie.

After this battle, everyone knows that the warrior has picked up the treasure.Yi Jianlian perfectly integrated into the Warriors system, and Jordan grew up again, forming a school of his own in the NBA, completely a model among blue-collar players.Rookie Curry is excellent in organization and shooting, and even the second-round pick Beverly is a ruthless character who dares to attack Kobe.
