NBA Please Answer 2007

Chapter Thirty-Nine
The halftime score surprised many.

The Warriors, who lacked the two starting generals, actually led the Mavericks at the end of the halftime. Li Zhi, who performed eye-catchingly, became the topic of experts.

"Lee, very good, I'm starting to believe what Reggie Miller said now." NBA star Larry Bird sent such a message on Twitter, accompanied by a picture of Li Zhi dunking.

Afterwards, many celebrities spoke out, and the fans discussed heatedly, but many people still believed that the Mavericks would counterattack in the second half, and the Warriors' lack of major generals would be more serious in the second half.

At the TD North Shore Garden Arena in Boston at this time, Garnett, who had just transferred to the Celtics, put down his phone and said with a strange expression: "This kid really looks like Melo."

Melo is the nickname of NBA star Carmelo Anthony, and everyone who is familiar with it will call this name.

"Who is like Melo?" Paul Pierce's hoarse voice came.

"Of course it's the Chinese kid from the Warriors, George Lee, look at this breakthrough." Garnett handed the phone to Paul Pierce while speaking, and Ray Allen, who was sitting next to him, also came over.

"Tsk tsk, it really looks like it." Ray Allen said lightly.

What Garnett showed the two was the picture of Li Zhi playing Nowitzki in singles. Li Zhi changed his rhythm and pushed Nowitzki away for an easy layup.

The sharp-eyed Paul Pierce and Ray Allen saw the essence of the ball at a glance. This is exactly the technique that Carmelo Anthony, who he has played against countless times, often uses.

Then Pierce looked at Garnett with a strange expression. Garnett seemed to think of something and asked for a moment of embarrassment.

In the game against the Nuggets a few days ago, Anthony easily broke through Garnett.

"What a pity, this guy was going to come to Boston." Pierce sighed.

Pierce's unintentional words completely reached the ears of Danny Angie who was holding his arms next to him. Danny Angie also recalled the scene of Li Zhi coming to Boston for a trial training in the summer.

Almost perfect physical measurement data, excellent defense and three-pointers, but not as comprehensive as it is now, just...for Allen.

Danny Angie also sighed inwardly, if I had known you would grow up so fast, I would have chosen you no matter what.

……

In the third quarter, Li Zhi re-entered the court, partnered with Bitrins on the inside, and Baron Davis, Monta Ellis and Matt Barnes were still on the outside.

Barnes, who didn't have much playing time, has played two consecutive quarters in this game. It is amazing that he is still alive and kicking at this time, and his endurance is terrible.

Thinking of this, Li Zhi glanced at Barnes' resolute face, and really didn't understand why such a "tough guy" was taken away by "old fish" Fisher.

Shaking his head, Li Zhi returned his attention to the field.

Nowitzki of the Mavericks is still resting off the court. With a deep lineup, they are not worried about being blown up in the third quarter. Rick Carlisle decided to give Nowitzki a full rest.

Rick Carlisle believed that the playoffs last season were dragged down by Nelson's ten-man rotation. When the score gap was only five points, he seriously rejected Nowitzki's request to play.

But Carlisle regretted it not long after, because Li Zhi broke out.

The inside center of the Mavericks is Desangena Diop, a 2-meter-tall jumping man who is known for his tough defense.But the footsteps are moving very slowly.

Old Nelson prescribes the right medicine in the second half, giving up the fast break tactics, and resolutely played the pick-and-roll.

Facing Bitrins' pick-and-roll, jumper Diop had nothing to do, Li Zhi opened up the space, and facing Brandon Bass, who had a shadow on Li Zhi in the first quarter, hit three-pointers one after another.

Beatrice also tasted the sweetness. After discovering his pick-and-roll power, he continuously created mobile opportunities for Li Zhi.

Li Zhi's sudden outburst caught Rick Carlisle by surprise, and regretted that he had fallen for a jumper like Diop.

The experienced Josh Howard saw the crux at a glance and took the initiative to switch defenses with Diop.

Josh Howard is 2 meters tall, and his main position is the small forward position. Last season, he was once a power forward position as Nowitzki's substitute.

After Rick Carlisle arrived in Dallas, Josh Howard, who had a mature low-post offense and excellent defense, was fixed at the power forward position.

This game even started with Nowitzki as a partner. The two played one offense and one defense, and the cooperation was quite tacit.

The faster, more experienced Josh Howard defended Bitrins' pick-and-rolls well and didn't give Li Zhi much of a chance.

But the Warriors also saw the Mavericks' weakness, so Li Zhiwei withdrew, and the pick-and-rolls of Monta Ellis and Bitrins came on.

With Monta Ellis making two consecutive three-pointers and Baron Davis making a mid-range shot, the Warriors blossomed collectively from outside.

Rick Carlisle quickly asked for a timeout and replaced Nowitzki and Terry.

After the main force came on the field, the situation of the Mavericks did not change. Li Zhi, Monta Ellis and Baron Davis felt hot.

Although Terry and Nowitzki continued to help the Mavericks score to stop the Mavericks from bleeding, the Warriors' perimeter shooters still shot bullets precisely at the Mavericks.

The well-mannered Rick Carlisle yelled at the court, which drew boos from the audience.

Fanatical Warriors fans made a huge noise when the Mavericks were on the offensive, booing the Mavericks once again lost in Oakland.

At the end of the third quarter, the score of the two sides came to 91:86, and the Warriors still led by 5 points.

"The game was very stalemate. I really didn't expect this game to be played like this." Kenny Smith sighed.

"Haha, when you watch the game scores, don't you pay attention to the players scoring?" Reggie Miller said with a smile.

Barkley and others quickly flipped through the statistics of the game and shouted, "My God, did this guy score 30 points?"

The shock was not only in the United States, but in the CCTV5 studio on the other side of the ocean, Sun Zhengping said excitedly: "Li Zhi has already scored 30 points! Is he going to break the record?"

Su Qun said: "It may not be possible to break the record. Now the highest score of a rookie is Chamberlain's 58, followed by Rick Barry's 57, Al Monroe's 56, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's 51, and Iverson's 50. The top five are all 50 points. Jordan's 49 points did not make the list, and James' rookie season's highest score is only 41."

Su Qun's calm analysis was also recognized by Sun Zhengping, but the fans were still excited.

Even if Li Zhi only scored 10 points in the last quarter, he is almost catching up with James, who is the chosen son of the NBA.

"Now Li Zhi has surpassed Kobe. Kobe's highest score in his rookie season was only 24 points." A fan commented.

"The next one is James, all imperialism is a paper tiger!" - Crazy Carrot, this one is Li Zhidie.

"Beyond James? Just dream, anyone can catch up with King James?" -Long live my emperor, obviously a guard with a knife.
