NBA Please Answer 2007

Chapter 250 Basketball is Physical Labor
The Warriors gave the Jazz a bad start at the beginning. Li Zhi, Jackson, and David Lee cooperated in the pick-and-roll, and Li Zhi singled out Millsap.

Facing Millsap, Li Zhi didn't even bother to hit with his back, and directly broke through the European step for a layup.Relying on this trick, Li Zhi scored 6 points in a row.

Not only did Millsap have no advantage in height, but his pace was also slow. David Lee moved to the outside line to cooperate with Li Zhi, making it very easy for Li Zhi to play.

David Lee also showed excellent offensive ability. Kirilenko didn't take David Lee seriously, but David Lee responded with a deadly mid-range shot.The Jazz's mixed defense can't prevent the Warriors. Kirilenko, the defensive core they used to rely on, has declined, and the help to the Jazz is limited.

The Jazz have no advantage on defense, and there are problems on offense.

The Warriors' man-to-man defense is effective. Except for Curry, everyone else can take turns.Jordan followed Okur to interfere with shooting, David Lee defended Millsap, Lee Zhi dealt with Kirilenko, and Jackson marked Ronnie Brewer.Jazz's pick-and-roll core Boozer is gone, and Deron's offense is not as strong as it used to be.

Curry, the Warriors' most scumbag defender, is also 1 meters tall, which is much better than the original Lowry's defensive effect and can interfere with Deron's outside shots.Deron's outside attack was blocked, and he missed several shots, and turned to break through and score the ball.But Mehmet Okur, who received the ball, missed three outside shots. This is his weakness. He relies a lot on his touch.

Li Zhi's breakthrough and David Lee's mid-range shot made the Jazz miserable. The Jazz had to call a timeout, changed their defensive tactics, and changed the original mixed defense to zone defense.

However, after returning from the timeout, the Jazz paid the price for their tactical mistakes.The Jazz compressed the zone defense inside, and the Warriors shot from the outside.Curry made 3 of 2 three-pointers from the outside, and Jackson also hit a three-pointer.But it was not Li Zhi who led the Warriors to play a wave, but David Lee.

David Lee didn't play many games last season, and everyone's impression of him is still in the Knicks period.The Jazz's player report sees David Lee as a stat guy who can score and rebound.Yes, that's the brush.Even though David Lee averaged 16 points and 11.7 rebounds per game in the Knicks, David Lee has never made the playoffs in the Knicks. If he hadn't been traded to the Warriors midway, maybe David Lee's playoff debut would have to wait longer.

There are many talented people in this world, but not many are open-minded and magnanimous. Many people become more anxious the harder they work, but some people become more free-spirited the harder they work.David Lee is such a person. He was also regarded by the team as the core of the future, and he was regarded as the cornerstone of the future. At the beginning, he was overwhelming in New York City, and he was also marginalized by the team. But this season, his brows are still full of sunshine. When he is free, he still teases his little brother Curry: "You rookie, you have a lot of statistics! You have to understand your position, how to play like a shooting guard!"

When David Lee played, the whole court became clear, not because he was white, but because he never frowns. He has many shadows of his predecessors, and he can help his teammates to score in the air with a pass like a dog.In addition, he is also a master of positioning. After Li Zhi breaks through, David Lee can always run to the open space just right, then catch the ball and score.In the Knicks, he is not such a person, because other people can't score, and it will all come to him in the end.But the current Warriors have a lot of people who can play, and he knows very well that if he doesn't run, he may lose his proper position.

Nick Young, Milicic, and Morrow all slacked off after winning the championship, so they were traded away by the Warriors. David Lee didn't want to be the next one.

The Jazz fans watched David Lee descend to the earth in the first quarter, chopping melons and vegetables and swiping the data, but they couldn't find a way to deal with it.They miss that Boozer who left Chicago so much now.

For a moment, the fans in Salt Lake City were very jealous of the Warriors. They already had a balloon star like Li Zhi and a potential rookie like Curry, but suddenly there was a David Lee with comprehensive skills.David Lee's performance in the first quarter was a bit of a blink of an eye for Jazz fans, and even heart-wrenching.

Many fans thought about it differently, what would happen if David Lee was replaced by Boozer?The answer is - not very much.

Boozer is very similar to David Lee. Both of them are not top-notch in physical fitness, and they are of average level in the NBA, but they have their own status in the world with their hard work.They are all masters of mid-range shooting and have a sense of rebounding. Mid-range shots and air cuts are their conventional weapons.Even defensively, they're alike -- slow feet, lacking wingspan, poor shot-blocking ability, and defense that gets a lot of flak.

But there is one thing that is David Lee's unique weapon-passing.Garnett, Pau Gasol, Tim Duncan, LeBron James, these famous point forwards all have excellent skills in supporting passes.

In other words, the current David Lee may become an All-Star like his predecessors. Thinking of this, and thinking about David Lee who was chatting with Li Zhi on the Warriors bench just now, the Jazz fans will not get angry.

Li Zhi chatted with David Li for a while, and felt that David Li didn't want to be as honest as he seemed on the surface, but was a bit slippery.Milicic wanted to be slick, but limited by the double damage of EQ and IQ, he often got twice the result with half the effort.David Lee is in stark contrast to Milicic, he is smart and lazy.

李治看看自己第一节的数据，8分2板1助攻1抢断1盖帽，再看看大卫李，14分4篮板3助攻。绕是李治这么一个心态极好的玩家，现在也不免大骂一声：“靠！”

His hard-working breakthrough drove the whole team, and David Lee alone took advantage of it.It's like a jungler working hard to keep the rhythm and assisting to grab all his heads. This feeling is almost like eating X.

Li Zhi looked at David Li's upright Chinese character face, and couldn't help but want to scold him: "Human-headed dog!"

Basketball is a hard job. When others are gnashing their teeth and sweating profusely, David Lee is skating like a loach, standing outside and waiting for Li Zhi's pass, and then he shoots and scores.Or standing outside the free throw line after a pick-and-roll, receiving a pass from Li Zhi and passing it to the outside, Curry easily hit a three-pointer, and David Lee looked at his statistics happily, and he couldn't help but feel that "playing basketball is easy".

"Changing hands is an assist!" Li Zhi lamented the unfairness of fate.
