Chapter 248 The Hardworking Mascot

The sun attacked, and Li Zhi went to defend Nash again.This time Stoudemire's screen was useless, Li Zhirao's screen was extremely fast, and he faced Nash again.

Nash couldn't get past Li Zhi, so he hung around the perimeter and waited for other Suns players to take the opportunity.Richardson started running from the left corner, went around the penalty area and came out of the right three-point line.Nash saw the opportunity and passed it immediately, Richardson caught the ball and shot directly, Jackson ran over to interfere.

Richardson was thrown and missed the shot, Jordan got the rebound, and the Warriors launched another fast break.

This ball became a turning point in the first quarter, and the Warriors directly controlled the rhythm afterwards.Li Zhi's single defense against Nash was effective, and the Sun's tactics based on Nash as the starting point were all ineffective.Nash passed the ball the next few times, but the rest of the Suns couldn't seize the opportunity.

In desperation, the Suns could only let Stoudemire play singles inside, and Jordan's defense against Stoudemire was not good, but at least he didn't let Stoudemire explode.

It was Channing Frye who broke out unexpectedly and hit two three-pointers from the outside.This made Gentry a little relieved that they made the right decision.On the regular season media day, Gentry said that the Suns starting center is not Robin Lopez but Channing Frye.

Channing Frye's shooting on the outside helped Stoudemire reduce the pressure. After Biedrins left, Stoudemire also gained more space in the interior, which is conducive to his performance.

In the playoffs last season, Frye got ahead in the Trail Blazers. Przybilla suffered a disadvantage in defending O'Neal, and Frye became a surprise player. At the center position, Frye scored more than O'Neal in those few games. It's no wonder the Suns value him so much.In terms of defense, Frye is not as bad as the outside world said. He is 211cm tall and weighs 113kg.

But in this game, Channing Frye still became the sun's defensive colander, and a jumping man like Jordan just restrained him.Curry threw him two lobs, and Jordan blasted the Warriors inside.

At the end of the first quarter, the Warriors led the Suns by 32 points 24 to 8.

李治得到9分2篮板1助攻，表现抢眼。库里6分3助攻，小乔丹4分4篮板，勇士的三个核心都表现不错。

In the second quarter, the main players rested and played off the bench.The Warriors ruled out Crawford, Beverly, Barnes, Yi Jianlian, Anderson.

On the sun are Dragic, Barbosa, Dudley, Amundson, Robin Lopez.Dragic and Barbosa form a double guard, relying on Barbosa's breakthrough on offense and rebounding inside defense.

But Robin Lopez was replaced by Gentry after 2 minutes of playing. Gentry looked down on Robin Lopez and continued to replace Channing Frye.Robin Lopez looks similar to his older brother Brook Lopez, but plays completely differently.

Brother Brook Lopez relies on his brain to play. He belongs to the technical stream. He can be strong on the inside and has a certain shooting ability on the outside.Compared with his brother, Robin Lopez's level is much lower. It can be regarded as a low-profile version of Jordan. His offense depends on dunking, and his jumping and other aspects are not as good as Jordan.

When Robin Lopez was off the court, the Suns mascot gorilla ran over to hug Lopez. Robin Lopez was in a bad mood and punched the gorilla KO, causing the fans to burst into laughter.

Gentry looked at Robin Lopez and felt annoyed. He has an impulsive personality, doesn't use his brain when playing, and has sex with the mascot. What kind of future can such a player have?
Seeing the depressed Robin Lopez on the sidelines, Li Zhi couldn't help feeling the urge to bring Robin Lopez over.Now Lopez is not reused in the Suns, but he can be regarded as a qualified blue-collar center in the future, and it would be good to come over to serve as a substitute for Jordan.

But seeing the scene where Lopez KOed the mascot, Li Zhi gave up this idea.A brain is a good thing, but Lopez doesn't have one.

Channing Frye came on the field, and the two teams played as substitutes.Crawford and Yi Jianlian are the two offensive starting points of the bench lineup, and the others can just defend.However, Ah Lian was still a little hesitant and missed a lot of good opportunities, but he couldn't help it. He still needs a process of adaptation, or an explosion, in order to build self-confidence.

Barkley said: "The Warriors rely too much on Li Zhi now. Without Li Zhi, they can't play offensively, and they can't break double-teams. Although Crawford can score points with a substitute, he feels too convulsive. This game doesn't feel good, and no one on the bench can help him."

Kenny Smith said: "Li Zhi was double-teamed very well in the first quarter, but fortunately, the Suns players are not very good at single defense, and Li Zhi was not too tightly double-teamed. Now the substitute lineup, the Suns are also double-teamed, and Crawford passed the ball. Yi Jianlian can't grasp the opportunity."

While the two commentators were talking, Channing Frye, who had just played, hit a three-pointer, and the score was tied.

Seeing Frye, Su Qun said regretfully: "Frye should come to the Warriors for such a space-type insider. If it is not Anderson who cooperates with Ah Lian, but Frye, there must be more opportunities for Ah Lian now."

Yu Jia agreed and said: "Yes, the Warriors' substitutes, except Ah Lian and Crawford, are all offensive roles, relying entirely on the point guard organization, but Crawford is not that kind of person."

Obviously, the two end have attributed the poor performance of the UAE to the Warriors' substitute players...

At 4 minutes into the second quarter, Neil called a timeout and replaced the main players.Li Zhi could feel that Crawford was a little weak. He could score, but he also needed support.Crawford scored 6 points in the second quarter, but the Warriors were tied by the Suns.

The effect of Li Zhi's playing was very obvious. The Warriors regained the lead. At the end of the first half, the Warriors led the Suns by 4 points.

Li Zhi, Curry, and Jr. led the Warriors to play crazy bombardment tactics, and David Lee also played an efficient offense.The Suns and the Warriors fought offensively, but they couldn't keep up with the Warriors' strength in defense. After the third quarter, the Warriors entered the fourth quarter with an 8-point advantage.

李治29分3助攻2篮板，库里14分7助攻，距离两双已经不远了。太阳的核心纳什只得到了9分6助攻，被李治防的迷失了方向。

Curry played half a quarter and was replaced.So far, he has scored 17 points and 9 assists, but Nelson did not play him at the decisive moment, but played Beverly.Curry took a look, pouted and walked away.

Beverly, Jackson, Barnes, Jordan, and Li Zhi, this is the lineup of the Warriors at the decisive moment.

The Suns fans were very excited. They fought the defending champion to the end. Stoudemire broke out in the third quarter and blasted Jordan.Li Zhi looked at the carnival Phoenix people, and returned to the field expressionlessly.Li Zhi played a role as soon as he came on the court, scoring two three-pointers to widen the point difference to 10 points.

The Suns' sharp offense was exhausted by the Warriors' "death defense" lineup. If Li Zhi did not defend Nash, Nash would not be able to relax. Beverly made another contribution at a critical moment and stole Nash.

The Warriors' offense is basically Li Zhi's one-man show. He started a crazy offensive mode and led the Warriors to victory.

After the game, statistics showed that Li Zhi took 28 shots, scored 45 points, made 28 of 14 shots, scored 8 three-pointers, and made 10 of 9 free throws.
Li Zhi is very satisfied with the data. He has a desire for the data now, and he can't wait to vote dozens of times, because he feels that he has this ability.

The defending champion won the game, and the statistics exploded. The media naturally praised Li Zhi highly. On the official NBA website, the Warriors' championship rate also rose by one place, ranking behind the Lakers.

Unlimited shooting power is really a good thing. Li Zhi wants to know why Kobe and Iverson are so "alone". The feeling of getting big data is really cool.Moreover, there is no way for Li Zhi to make unlimited shots. If he does not attack, the rest of the Warriors will have no chance.

After the game, the reporter interviewed Li Zhi and asked him what his goal for this season was.

Li Zhi replied neatly: "Scoring champion and best defensive player, the goals of last season were not achieved, but they will be achieved together this season."

Li Zhi's big tone made the reporter very angry, but the reporter is used to it. Li Zhi has this kind of personality. He didn't get the best defensive player last season, but he was infinitely close to this goal. It is really impossible for him to get the best defensive player this season.

As for the scoring champion, after this battle, Li Zhi has firmly secured the top spot in the scoring list. If he maintains this state, the scoring champion will not be a problem.

Another topical character of the Warriors is Curry. This time Curry continued to perform well and can compete for the best rookie.Li Zhi took good care of Curry in the first three quarters, and Curry himself created a lot of assists. As long as he doesn't get injured and guarantees playing time, he can be the best rookie.

The tough one is Tyreke Evans, who played one regular season and was considered a strong contender for the best rookie. Now that Curry is born, Evans has one more opponent.
