NBA Please Answer 2007

Chapter 36 The Eye of the Mamba
Li Zhi felt a little proud in his heart that his first start happened under such circumstances.

Perhaps it was because of the absence of the annoying teammate Al Harrington, or because the opponent was the Mavericks, the players including Li Zhi were extremely excited.

The game will be broadcast live across the United States, with ESPN ace partners Charles Barkley and Kenny Smith explaining it, and Scott Pippen and Reggie Miller will be invited as guest commentators for the game.

There is an invisible competitive relationship between ESPN and TNT. The last TNT talk show invited the two to provoke enough topics. ESPN invited two celebrities in this game.

"The Golden State Warriors are not in good shape recently. All four games in the opening season ended in failure. Yesterday, the two leading stars were suspended. Facing the menacing old rival Mavericks, Golden State is worrying about this game." Barkley's hoarse voice sounded before the whistle started.

On the other side, Kenneth Smith nodded and said: "The two guests gave different views on this battle on an unknown program before. What will be the final result of the game? Please wait and see."

Kenny Smith's commentary did not forget to lose some old rivals TNT, Scottie Pippen and Reggie Miller smiled wryly.

At the same time, on the other side of the ocean, CCTV5 Sports Channel also broadcast the match live, hosted by two well-known commentators Sun Zhengping and Su Qun.

"Mr. Zhang, this match has been heated up before the match. What's your opinion on this match?" Sun Zhengping said with a smile.

Su Qun put down the information in his hand and analyzed: "I carefully studied the rosters of the two teams before, and I was really worried about the Warriors when I saw the lineup of the Mavericks."

Su Qun's words touched the hearts of fans all over the country. Now there are only three Chinese players in the NBA, Li Zhi, Yao Ming and Yi Jianlian. It can be said that they are all Chinese fans' home teams.

"The Warriors are missing their starting power forward Harrington and small forward Stephen Jackson, while the Mavericks are the last MVPs Dekonowitzki and Josh Howard. Nowitzki averaged 24 points, 7 rebounds, 4 assists and 1 block in the first few games, with an efficiency value of 24.7. This is another MVP-level statistic. I don't know who the Warriors will play at the power forward position. I hope someone who can defend, otherwise the Warriors will be really difficult."

Su Qun sighed, obviously not optimistic about the Warriors.

Sun Zhengping laughed at Su Qun, and said, "Mr. Su, I don't think much of it. Li Zhi said before the match that the calf should be skinned."

"Oh? Is that right? I didn't do my pre-match work well. Is it the news just now?" Su Qun said in a little surprise.

"Yes, it just came from the front, I hope Li Zhi can do it."

……

With the whistle of the referee, Bitrins put the ball high into Davis' hands, and the fans cheered.

"Hey, Beatrins, who couldn't jump the ball for thousands of years, jumped to the ball. It seems that the Warriors are in good shape today." Barkley said.

"Of course, you can jump high if you're afraid of hanging!" Kenny Smith said.

When the two talked, the fans let out an exclamation.

I saw Li Zhi frantically running towards the inside of the Mavericks. Byron Davis made a long pass from midfield. The ball passed through the Mavericks and went directly to Li Zhi's hands.

"Boom! Opening dunk, from George-Lee."

The Mavericks players were obviously stunned. They didn't expect the weak Warriors to have such a strong desire to attack at the beginning, but the Mavericks players were still not very worried, and everything was just the beginning.

As today's winning streak team, they have the confidence to defy the Warriors.

It's just that Rick Carlisle, who was on the Mavericks' bench, frowned slightly, turned his head to look at Old Nelson on the other side, and saw that Old Nelson was also surprised.

Then Rick Carlisle looked at Baron Davis. Is this guy leading the opening rhythm?
Thinking of this, Carlisle yelled loudly at the Bulls' starting point guard: "Devin, lock that bearded man and defend the ball!"

Devin Harris nodded seriously, not expecting the gentle Rick Carlisle to yell like this.

This is the first time a coach has been so ugly. Devin Harris decided to restrain the beard in front of him. This guy broke through himself time and time again in last year's playoffs.

"Li, you did a good job!" Byron Davis patted Li Zhi's chest, very surprised by Li Zhi's state today.

"Of course, they are our mortal enemies! We must beat them hard." Li Zhi said, waving his fist.

The Mavericks had the ball, and Devin Harris, as a functional point guard, handed the ball to Jason Terry after reaching the top of the arc.

Jason Terry with the ball in his hands is extremely threatening, and Dirk Nowitzki made a three-pointer directly after the pick-and-roll, and the basketball fell accurately into the basket, and the Golden State fans booed instantly.

"Go to hell nigga, this is not the place for you to run wild!" a chubby fan on the sidelines yelled when Terry passed by.

Terry shrugged his shoulders and quickly returned to the defense.

The Mavericks who returned to defense quickly settled down, completely denying the Warriors a chance to play a fast break.

Baron Davis took the ball and misplaced Terry in singles. The fierce beard grabbed the Mavericks' worst perimeter defense and wanted to give them a hard knife.

"Oh, Davis broke through, very good, turn around!" Kenneth Smith looked at the situation on the court and explained.

At this moment, after Baron Davis broke through, Li Zhi came to the top of the arc according to the hidden gesture behind Davis.

"No, Davis passed it to Li Zhi at the top of the arc!"

Li Zhi, who had been prepared for a long time, received the ball for a three-pointer, and the water splashed everywhere.

"Li Zhi, Li Zhi scored two three-pointers in the opening game," Barkley said.

Reggie was overjoyed when he saw this, and said to Pippen with joy, "I told you, Lee is the X factor."

"No, no, you just said he has killer instinct!" Scottie Pippen tried to correct Reggie Miller's mistake, but Reggie Miller laughed and ignored him completely.

Because the situation on the court has changed again at this moment.

Devin Harris originally broke through from the right side and passed the ball to Nowitzki, but Li Zhi suddenly intercepted the original passing route.

"Come on, buddy, break through me!" Li Zhi clapped his hands and looked at Brandon Bass in front of him, but his eyes were fixed on the basketball in Bass' hands.

Brandon Bass looked at Li Zhi's burning eyes, and something called faith in his heart was shaken.

He has only seen this kind of look on a few people, and one of them is a man named Kobe Bryant.

When defending Brandon Bass, Li Zhi quietly displayed Kobe's defensive skills.

Kobe's personal defense skills: purple skills, passive skills, increase the success rate of defense by [-]%.As a side effect, the pupil of the Mamba, the user has the aura of Kobe Black Mamba.
