NBA Please Answer 2007

Chapter 67 Staples' Lore (Large chapter, 3000 words)
"Whatever you're looking at, I'm talking about you!" The fat man on the sidelines continued.

The fat man's face was filled with the triumph of a villain, and Li Zhi finally remembered who the fat man was.

This guy is the guy who clashed with him at the Los Angeles pizza shop last time. It turned out that he was a Lakers fan.

Li Zhi passed by Fatty on the way back to defense, and gave him a middle finger.

Staples was in an uproar, this guy is running wild in Staples!
Seeing this scene, Barkley said excitedly: "It's interesting, it's going to be gunpowder."

Kenny Smith put down the information in his hand and said, "The person who confronted Li Zhi just now was Johnny Michael, a die-hard Lakers fan. It seems that Li Zhi had a conflict with him before the draft."

"Haha, Yuanjia Road is narrow, it's a good show," Barkley said.

Amid the boos of the fans, Li Zhi fell back to the defense, and Odom was still facing up.The old coach yelled from the sidelines: "Barnes, go defend Kobe, go defend him."

Barnes heard the old coach's call and quickly stuck to Kobe's side. Nelson had a plan in his mind. The Warriors only had good defense, Li Zhi, Stephen Jackson and Barnes, but Li Zhi and Stephen Jackson had to focus on offense.

Barnes was not unwilling, on the contrary, he was eager to try. He is such a person. Maybe I can't defend you, but I will definitely tear a piece of flesh off of you.

Kobe's offense is very strong, but he is also very strong. Barnes' defense is in place, half a step away from Kobe.

"Zen Master" Phil Jackson's "Triangle Offense", to put it bluntly, is a star misplaced singles, so after the triangle tactic is successful, the basketball still falls into Kobe's hands, but he is no longer facing Monta Ellis, but Barnes.

"Boom", basketball strikes iron.

The Bitrins Union grabbed the rebound and Li Zhi took the lead.

Fast break, the Warriors are good at that.

Li Zhi was as fast as a bolt of lightning, leaping high and one step away from the basket with the basketball in his hand, slamming the tomahawk for dunks.

"Oh oh oh oh, a powerful tomahawk dunk, so handsome." Barkley said.

Fat Johnny's face changed because he saw the Chinese kid raising his eyebrows at him.

"What are you proud of, isn't it just a brush!"

Li Zhi didn't talk to this guy anymore, just proved himself.

7:4
However, Li Zhi's dunk failed to help the Warriors get a respite, and then Odom broke out.

Odom swept away the previous downturn and scored 6 points on all 13 shots.

Bitrins was fouled again by Kobe, and he had to rest for two fouls in the first quarter. The Warriors lost their defensive core, and their defense appeared very fragile.

Odom hit consecutive jump shots, leading the Lakers to lead the Warriors 35-14 at the end of the first quarter by 21 points, which is almost the largest difference in the first quarter in history.

Staples' celebrations died down in the second quarter, when Nelson replaced Monta Ellis and Bitrins, Baron Davis and Crawford were on the court at the same time, Jackson was replaced inside, Lee returned to the power forward position, and Barnes defended Kobe Bryant.

Crawford showed his extraordinary offensive ability. He singled Kobe twice from the outside and made a strong shot. Kobe had nothing to do.

The Lakers fans booed constantly, but they were at a loss soon after, because they didn't know who to boo. Li Zhi and Stephen Jackson cooperated continuously and scored a lot of air cuts.

第二节结束前6分45秒，湖人费舍尔三分命中，湖人仅仅45-40领先5分。

The Lakers struggled to expand the point difference, and the Warriors also fought to the end.

Farmar made a long shot near the end of the first half, and the Lakers entered the second half with a 6-point lead.

The Lakers still maintained the lead in the first half of the third quarter. At 6 minutes and 04 seconds before the end of the quarter, Radmanovich made two free throws and the Lakers led 70-60 by 10 points.

Just when the Warriors were on the verge of "death", their backup guard Crawford carried the audience again and stepped forward to "continue life" for the team.

The titan, who had just arrived and gained a lot of time, scored two three-pointers in a row, helping the Warriors blast 11-3 in the second half of the third quarter, and only trailed the Lakers by 2 points at the end of this quarter.

Driven by Crawford, Nelson kills the main force of CAO, and everyone is fully fired. Li Zhi, Crawford, Baron Davis and Jackson join hands to set off a counterattack wave.

At 4 minutes and 07 seconds before the end of the game, Li Zhi broke through with a surprising speed to attract the defense and then split the ball. Crawford made a mid-range shot and the Warriors took the lead for the first time in this game.

Tonight, the Warriors outsiders Baron Davis, Li Zhi, and Crawford contributed 48 points. Stephen Jackson played the 5th position.

During the time when Kobe was waiting for the starting lineup, Nelson's CAO main lineup achieved a complete victory, and Kobe could only fill in the holes in the last quarter.

With 40.1 seconds left before the end of the game, Bynum scored a shot and the Lakers narrowed the point difference to 3 points. The Zijin Army still has hope.

At the critical moment, the Warriors paused.

"Zen Master" Phil Jackson vowed to point to the tactical board and told the Lakers to guard against the Warriors' outside pick-and-rolls.

Nelson did arrange a pick-and-roll tactic, with Barnes picking and rolling and Li Zhi shooting.

When the Warriors needed someone to make a final decision, Li Zhi stood up again.

As the "lore brother" of this season, Li Zhi did not choose a long shot this time. He ended the Lakers with a layup.

Li Zhi dribbled the ball at the top of the arc, and Barnes wanted to make a screen, but Li Zhi waved his hand to signal Barnes to go away, and he wanted to single out Kobe.

Kobe's face turned cold, his pupils constricted, and he stared at Li Zhi.Scrubbing his clothes with sweaty hands, he opened his fangs.

Li Zhi is familiar with this look, this movement, and the Lakers fans are even more familiar.

"Keep him dead, Kobe!" Johnny shouted excitedly from the sidelines, not only him, but all Staples fans stood up and watched the stadium.

Li Zhi dribbled the ball to keep time, and tried to pass Kobe by one step faster, but Kobe's defense was very good, and Li Zhi could only rely on his body to hold the ball and get into the penalty area.

Take off!

Barnes stuck in Odom, and Li Zhi's sudden change of mind messed up the Lakers' defensive plan, making Odom's defense a step late. Li Zhi rushed to the basket and changed hands with his left hand to score a layup.

Staples was silent, only the Warriors cheered on the field.

Li Zhi raised his right hand again, and he did it.

With 16.4 seconds left in the game, the Warriors led by 5 points and sentenced the Lakers to a "death penalty".

In the end, the Warriors won at home with the Lakers 97-91.

……

"This ball is too important," Nelson said in an interview. "It was supposed to be a pick-and-roll between Barnes and Lee in the middle, but Lee waved his hand so that Matt didn't have to cover because he believed that he could make the shot in front of Kobe. He didn't want to execute the pick-and-roll and cause the Lakers to make strategic mistakes. Lee's judgment was very accurate, and this layup was great."

……

"I've watched this episode, and I know it's going to be a lore." Li Zhi's arrogant answer at the post-game press conference was collectively bombarded by Lakers fans.

As a veteran giant in the league, Lakers fans have always been proud of the Lakers. No one has ever dared to be so presumptuous at Staples. The last person who scored recklessly here was Gilbert Arenas.

"My idol is Arenas." Li Zhi put down the newspaper and murmured to himself. Not only did he not flinch from the criticism from online fans, but his blood boiled.

Could it be the sequelae of the Super Saiyan, Li Zhi thought so, and started their next road trip.

The members of the Warriors stepped out of the plane, all of them looked extremely tired, and many of them yawned, and walked into the long connecting corridor.

It's been a long time in the NBA, and Li Zhi has almost adapted to life on the road, which is very interesting.

The road is relentless in the NBA, but for the roster-changing Warriors, it might be easier to find a sense of belonging away from the comforts and distractions of Oracle Arena.

With that belief, the next five-game road trip against the Memphis Grizzlies is fitting.

But after a series of shocking regular-season performances, the Warriors were crushed by the San Antonio Spurs at home, and the Warriors still have a lot of problems to deal with.

Things like rebounding, defense, ball movement, switching, communication.

But most importantly, the Warriors need to get to know each other better on and off the court.

With the advent of tactical evolution, Nelson is constantly changing the starting roster, and his lack of understanding of new tactics is the current problem for the Warriors.

The Spurs did bring that issue to light in a remarkable way.

"When you're trying to figure out who you are, then this is probably the worst team in the NBA," coach Nelson said, patting the tactical board. "Our consistency on the road was impressive. But back home, the problem came up again, Jamal is also a big part of our current lineup, Lee and Davis. It feels a little foreign. Things are different, we know it will be different, and we have to deal with that."

All the Warriors were silent, waiting for Nelson to put down the tactical board and leave the locker room. Baron Davis also left the locker room, and all the players also left one after another.

Li Zhi is helpless, Baron Davis wants to be the boss, but the team has no right to speak and lacks the spiritual charm of a leader.

After experiencing the purge of Al Harrington, there are bound to be some changes within the Warriors.

For many NBA players, this is just a business, but for the Warriors as a whole, tactical evolution means turmoil for the team.
