NBA Please Answer 2007

Chapter 64
Without Li Zhi, the Warriors have become the singles Warriors of last season. They can only rely on the personal ability of the stars to score. Except for Baron Davis, Stephen Jackson, and Monta Ellis, the presence of others on the court is extremely low.

Old Nelson once again realized the importance of Li Zhi.

Every team has a tactical core and a spiritual leader.Of course, the combination of the tactical core and the spiritual leader is naturally better.

In the Warriors, the two captains Stephen Jackson and Matt Barnes are the undisputed spiritual leaders of the Warriors and the leaders of the locker room.Tough style of play, speak out of justice, revive the spirit of the team when morale fell to the bottom.

The Warriors' success in black eight last season has something to do with Stephen Jackson's spiritual leadership.

But who is the core of the Warriors' tactics?
It was Baron Davis last season, but the results of leading the team barely entered the playoff threshold, and the beginning of the season even started with a losing streak.

During the seven-day consecutive road trip, the Warriors' tactics were quite different from last season's. Beginning with the Mavericks, Old Nelson's tactics gradually shifted to Li Zhi.

Now that Li Zhi is injured and retired, the Warriors have no offensive hub in an instant, and no one can control the rhythm.

Controlling the rhythm is Li Zhi's innate talent and has nothing to do with the system.Some people are born like a magnetic field. When he appears, everything around him will change because of him.

Li Zhi may not be the one who talks the most in the team, but he is indeed using his actions to change the situation on the field.

Since Li Zhi broke the rookie single-game scoring record, 59 points has become Li Zhi's label. As long as Li Zhi stands on the field, he will attract the opponent's defense.

……

The regular season continued, the Warriors lost to the Rockets on November 11, the "Yao-Mc combination" was unstoppable, McGrady and Yao Ming scored 30 points together.

The long-awaited domestic derby was not staged, and Li Zhi could only watch Yao Ming show off his power from the sidelines.

In any case, the domestic fans were jubilant. Both the Warriors and the Rockets are now the home team of the Chinese. Everyone is happy for which team wins.

After the game, Li Zhi specially invited Yao Ming to have a meal. He is also Chinese, and he was a teammate of the national team for ten years in his previous life. Li Zhi has a deep friendship with Yao Ming.

Yao Ming showed a characteristic smile and told Li Zhi: "Everyone hopes you will go back to the Olympic Games next year."

Li Zhi didn't even think about it, and immediately agreed: "Okay!"

Yao Ming smiled happily.

One sentence, one word, is enough.

……

After losing to the Rockets, the Warriors immediately ushered in a big victory.

12月3日，勇士客场109：96大胜超音速。似乎是不满于李治的避战，杜兰特此役砍下23分3助攻3篮板，比赛结束后还特意跑过来和李治来了一个拥抱。

But this is not a kind hug, Durant said with a smile: "You didn't play this time, and I will definitely score on top of you in the next game!"

This is afternoon.

Now Li Zhi does not encourage Durant at all, and accepts Durant's challenge with a smile on the surface, but in his heart he is already thinking about how he will abuse Durant in the next game.

Just a sample, let you taste the power of 86 defensive ability in the next game.

The big victory against the Sonics seemed to have used up the Warriors' luck, and then the Warriors started a losing streak, a losing streak without warning.

The Warriors are still the Warriors. Even without Li Zhi, the whole team is still fighting high, but they just can't win.

After the Supersonic victory, the Warriors lost to the Magic, Bucks, Heat, Lakers, Spurs, and Trail Blazers one after another. They suffered a miserable 8-game losing streak, and their record became 14 losses and 7 wins.

The only bright spot for the Warriors was Belinelli.

In the absence of Li Zhi, he got a lot of opportunities to perform. He served as a substitute for Monta Ellis and Baron Davis. He was extremely accurate in three-pointers.

But the fly in the ointment is that Belinelli's defense is mediocre, lack of confrontation and bounce, and often becomes a defensive colander.

Belinelli has begun to show his temperament as a three-point leader, and he can even dominate a game with long shots when his hands are hot.In the game against the Lakers, Belinelli hit three consecutive three-pointers at critical moments to help the Warriors stop the bleeding.

Li Zhi was "asked for leave", and he didn't even have to go to the arena for the away game. Because he claimed to be injured, he had to stay in Oakland to train alone.

After learning that Li Zhi was injured, Avril Lavigne came to Oakland a long time ago and took care of Li Zhi for several days. The two of them could hear Lei Nuo's scolding from next door all day long: "Dog boy and girl."

Avril asked Li Zhi: "Why doesn't Lei Nuo find a girlfriend?"

Li Zhi didn't tell Avril Lavigne about Lei Nuo's miserable experience in his previous life, he just said he didn't know.

In fact, Li Zhi knew it, but there were some things he couldn't say.

As the only son of the head of Lehman Corporation and a top financial family in the United States, Renault's marriage is not his own decision.

It may be that the arrival of Avril Lavigne brought good luck to Li Zhi, and Li Zhi finally passed the [Regular Season Training Camp]-Kobe Bryant's 61-point challenge.

The rewards are very generous, including 1 free attribute point and a spirit badge.

Golden Moment: Perform better than usual in key games.Key games refer to rivals, playoffs, and old clubs.

Apart from training, what Li Zhi has to do is to develop a relationship with Avril. Li Zhi wanted Avril to move to Oakland, but Avril refused, saying that he would consider it for a while.

Li Zhi didn't know what Avril Lavigne was investigating, or was he worried about his own problems?Li Zhi couldn't figure it out.

Unable to figure it out, Li Zhi simply gave up and enjoyed the two-person world with Avril Lavigne peacefully.

……

While Li Zhi was recovering from his injury, the Warriors welcomed their new teammate - Jamal Crawford.

Crawford averaged nearly 40 minutes in the Knicks this season, scoring 20.6 points, 5 assists and 2.1 rebounds. This is another iron man.

Now the Warriors basically play nearly 40 minutes in the starting lineup, and Barnes often plays 45 minutes. Now that there is another Crawford, Nelson seems to be going further and further on the road of being the main force.

On the first day of Crawford's report, Li Zhi made a hot pot meal at home and entertained him to exchange feelings. In addition, he completed the task assigned to Li Zhi by the old coach - persuading Crawford to play as a substitute.

In the old coach's view, Crawford can shoot suddenly, has comprehensive skills, and basically has no shortcomings except for poor defense. It is perfectly suitable for the Warriors' current bombardment tactics.

But the Warriors now have a chemical reaction in the starting lineup. He hopes that Crawford will accept the role of the sixth man and become a sharp knife on the Warriors' bench like Monta Ellis did last season.

To Li Zhi's surprise, after Li Zhi vaguely conveyed the old man's meaning to Crawford, Crawford agreed without thinking.

Crawford is a self-aware person, and he also likes to be a substitute, and he also guarantees no less than 30 minutes of playing time. Why not do it?

　Everyone votes for recommendation, thank you!
