Chapter 172 Nelson Slashes the Shark
Dog referee!
Li Zhi rushed over to argue with the referee, but O'Neill stopped him.
"This is the star whistle, forget it." O'Neill said meaningfully.He used to be the beneficiary of this kind of whistle, but now everyone thinks he is old.
David Stern righted James, which has gone too far to such a blatant "praise".Even because of James' four-step layup, a new walking penalty standard was introduced
James is also quite self-conscious, with no awareness of walking. The four-step layup looks steady, blatant, smooth, and majestic.
The NBA has always praised Kobe before. In some games, fouls that would not be whistled should be punished on Kobe. Kobe can get a lot of free throws every game because of this, and even the opponent just blows at him.
But compared with Kobe, the "superstar whistle" enjoyed by James can be said to be unprecedented.He already has superhuman physical fitness, and his breakthroughs are often tough crushing breakthroughs, but in the past five years, he has rarely called James' offensive fouls, which cannot be established at all on others.
This whistling is even more unbearable. This is the appearance of the Warriors. Don't these referees have any morals?Can't it be the same as playing against the Trail Blazers, just be fair?
The Warriors attacked, and O'Neal was in the paint. After attracting James' attention, he passed the ball directly.
"Have you all forgotten that I once dominated this league?"
James made a free throw, 15:16.
Leaning his back against Big Ben, O'Neill pushed in step by step.
The two can be regarded as rivals. When O'Neal was in the Heat, after O'Neal got the ball under the basket, there were no defensive players within 2 meters.O'Neal made a squatting jump preparation and planned to dunk with both hands. Unexpectedly, just after taking off, he found that a barrier had been erected in front of him.Ben Wallace has rushed to cover the defense, jumped in the air and waited there.
O'Neal took off and wanted to force a layup, but Ben was still in the air to block the shot. After O'Neal dodged, the ball still couldn't be shot.The ball was slapped on the ground by Da Ben, the referee whistled, and the two sides scrambled for the ball.
In O'Neal's career, there are not many people who can make him so deflated, and Daben is one of them.
But only two years later, O'Neill's big Ben went backwards in the paint again and again. Big Ben jumped up and wanted to block the shot, but O'Neal didn't take off.
After two years, O'Neill finally reported the humiliation of the year.Da Ben stood up and pushed O'Neill, O'Neill didn't move at all, but looked at Da Ben playfully, with a flash of sympathy in his eyes.
"You're old, old friend!" O'Neill teased after returning to the scene. Da Ben didn't answer with a gloomy face, but when he walked to the front court, he was still thinking, am I really old?Can't even push him?
When Daben was distracted, Li Zhi intercepted the pass from James to Wesley, made the next pass all the way, and scored two more points.
The Warriors scored five points in a row, 20:16.
In the second half, the Warriors played O'Neal, and the Cavaliers relied on James' restraint to continue looking for three-point opportunities. At the end of the first quarter, they narrowed the point difference to 1 point, 30:29.
詹姆斯首节5分4篮板6助攻，李治10分1篮板7助攻，这是让很多人没想到的。
In the second quarter, the two sides sent substitutes, and the Warriors replaced Milicic, Jordan Jr., Maggette, Nick Young, and Crawford.
The Cavaliers replaced Varejao, JJ Hickson, Szczerbiak, Pavlovic, and Gibson.
Milicic played an eye-catching performance, and made two mid-range shots after a pick-and-roll with Crawford, and also assisted Nick Young with a three-pointer. Crawford made both breakthroughs, and the Warriors opened the score again.
There are still many shooters on the bench for the Cavaliers, which has reached the point of luxury, but they have no organizers, the offense is chaotic, and they have not scored a single sports game after 5 minutes.
Off the court, Nelson said: "You can't play like this in the second half. After James came on the court, the Cavaliers chased the three-pointers too quickly. We must guard against their three-pointers."
"Shaq, we have to lay enough ground to go into the fourth quarter, or they will definitely foul you in the fourth quarter."
O'Neill nodded, expressing understanding.Now the Warriors lead the Cavaliers by 10 points, but these are not enough to establish the victory. James didn't exert much force in the first quarter. Anyone who knows James well knows that the second half is when James exerts force.
"We will play a triangle offense after we play, and let James play singles defensively. George, Barnes, and Jackson will take turns to defend him. Don't give him a chance to breathe."
The generals of the Warriors nodded. Nelson was very fortunate to have a player like O'Neal on the team, and his emotional intelligence was not low. Li Zhi and Milicic almost went to the referee to argue because of the penalty. If they did that, it would be the worst.
In the NBA, you can accuse the referee of missing a judgment, but you must never say that the referee is a "godfather whistle". James is the star that Stern favors.
After playing for 5 minutes in the second quarter, the Cavaliers took the lead in making substitutions and became the main force. One minute later they played a wave of 1:6, the difference between the two sides narrowed to 0 points, Nelson requested a timeout.
Back on the court, when James came to the front, one of Li Zhi, Barnes, and Jackson would always defend him alone, preferring to give him a chance to layup rather than let him pass the ball, so James could only play single.
The prerequisite for this is to be able to contain the Cavaliers shooter's running position, which is difficult, but the Warriors outside players still try to follow the defense, switch defenses if they don't meet James, and go around to cover when they meet James.
It is easy to miss people around the screen. The Warriors missed Mo Williams or Wesley several times, which made the Warriors fail to widen the point difference.
On the offensive end, O'Neal played all kinds of singles inside. Li Zhi occasionally took the opportunity to try a floater, and scored both floaters. At the end of the second quarter, Li Zhi's personal score reached 14 points, and James scored 20 points.
The Warriors forced James to make a breakthrough, allowing James to score a lot of points, but the Warriors still failed to kill the Cavaliers' outside shooters. Mo Williams felt hot, and the three-pointer was like free money. In the second quarter, he made three more three-pointers.
Nelson's tactics are based on the fact that the Cavaliers don't have a second threat point, but now that Mo Williams has cast away, Nelson's infinite defense strategy is invalid.
After the second quarter, the Warriors trailed the Cavaliers by 54 point 55:1.
During the intermission, Nelson said: "In the third quarter, double-team James and let go of the Cavaliers inside!"
Nelson finally adopted a tactic commonly used by all coaches in the league. After the game restarted, the Warriors emptied Wallace in the first round.
James has a very strong view of the overall situation, and as soon as he sees the basket is free, he sends the ball to Wallace.Now Jordan is on the inside, and Jordan immediately fouled Wallace for shooting. Jordan's bones are full of muscles, and this pull directly gave Da Ben a backlash.
Wallace's free throw percentage was worse than O'Neal's, only 40%. He would never use his fingers and wrists.
Mike Brown frowned. Like Nelson, he was very afraid of the opponent's "shark hacking tactics", but Wallace could not be replaced. If he did, Li Zhi's offense would be easier.On the offensive end, Li Zhi relied on the cover of his teammates to form a singles against Wallace.Li Zhi attacked very easily. He dribbled the ball to the free throw line and then made a throw, which didn't waste much energy.
On the defensive end, the Warriors double-teamed LeBron James, James gave the ball to Varejao, Varejao only had a mid-range shot, and the sight was not guaranteed.
The Cavaliers didn't take advantage of it. The "Brazilian actor" Varejao was about to start his performance. Varejao successfully drew Li Zhi's offensive foul when Li Zhi made a layup, and his acting skills can be described as superb.
Li Zhi pondered in his heart, when can he learn the actor's flopping, this is definitely a golden skill.
With 1 minute left in the third quarter, the Warriors finally overtook the score by 5 points.Cavaliers coach Mike Brown couldn't stand Wallace being cut and replaced Da Ben.
Nelson replaced O'Neal as if he had agreed with Mike Brown.
The Cavaliers did not have Wallace inside, and O'Neal played more easily. The Warriors' offense immediately opened up. O'Neal played singles inside, and Li Zhi broke through and passed the outside.
At the end of the third quarter, the Warriors lead the Cavaliers 84:77.
Back in the fourth quarter, James started the "Babulang" mode again, crushing breakthroughs, and various show operations, but Mo Williams' good touch could not continue.On the contrary, it was the Warriors who fired all over the perimeter, and at the critical moment when the score was about to catch up, Li Zhi made two precise throws to kill the game.
After the whole game, the Warriors narrowly beat the Cavaliers 105 to 99. James was unstoppable in the fourth quarter, but he was outnumbered.
Li Zhi competed with James throughout the second half. Although James was still able to score, he had a big physical problem.Li Zhi's offense was a small throw, which took advantage.
In this battle, facing the heavy double-teaming of the Warriors' front line, James still scored 35 points, 12 assists and 8 rebounds, but his shooting percentage was not high.
Cavaliers and other players also got a lot of opportunities, Mo Williams 20 points and 6 assists West 19 points.
Li Zhi had no pressure on his throws, and no one could guard against him. The arc of the magician's throws was too high, and there was no solution.He scored 38 points, 12 assists and 10 rebounds, one of the few triple-doubles in his career.
奥尼尔拿下26分7篮板2助攻2盖帽，米利西奇再次表现出色拿下16分，克劳福德手感冰凉8中2拿下5分。
The Cavaliers are not weak, but once they catch their goal, they can win the game. Li Zhi's defense consumes James, and coupled with the unsolvable throw, no matter how strong James is, he can't reverse it.
After the game, Li Zhi received a call from Ye Xiaoxiao. Ye Xiaoxiao smiled and said, "I watched the game, congratulations on your triple-double! I'm afraid everyone will be wary of your jump shots from today on."
It is a happy thing to be praised, Li Zhi smiled and said: "Yes, maybe there is still a title of little magician."
Ye Xiaoxiao gave a "cut" and said, "Don't be narcissistic about you, no matter how good your throw is, can you compare with a magician?"
Li Zhi thought to himself, this little girl must have never seen a magician play. If she has seen it, she knows that Li Zhi's toss is a real magician's skill.
