Chapter 165

Chapter 165

When the game started, the Warriors' players once again experienced the Devil's home court in the Denver Plateau.

Just like Salt Lake City, which is also on the plateau, with high altitude, low air pressure, sparse air, and fanatical home fans, the Pepsi Center, home of the Nuggets, is regarded as the most difficult plateau fortress to conquer.

Denver fans at the home court treated the incoming Warriors with cynicism. The Warriors took a victory over the Nuggets in the last game. When they came to the home of the Nuggets, every fan in Denver turned into a bloodthirsty devil, wishing to tear off the flesh and blood of the Warriors.

When Li Zhi played, many fans spit out dirty words, which made Li Zhi "flattered".

Due to the recent strong performance, Li Zhi has been regarded by the Nuggets as the number one enemy, and even the most hated player of the opponent team. It is understandable that the Nuggets booed the audience.It's just that everyone seemed to forget that the player who was booed in front of them was just a second-year rookie.

Lowry's nervousness hasn't changed yet. During the warm-up, he was a little irritable when he heard the boos from the Nuggets fans.He didn't perform well in the last game, and was educated by Iverson once again. Facing the Nuggets again, Lowry was a little depressed because he lacked someone to retaliate against.

"Are these Nuggets fans sick? Why are they arguing?"

Barnes smiled lightly, and received: "It's okay, if they call you, just give them FXXK."

Lori stared blankly at Barnes. He didn't know about Barnes' deeds, and he didn't understand where Barnes' reason to ease his tension came from.

Just 3 minutes after the start of the game, the generals of the Warriors were stimulated by the Denver fans and felt cold. Anthony, the leader of the Nuggets, scored consecutive singles and caused a foul by Li Zhi.

The insider Milicic was entrusted with important tasks by Nelson, but he was also fouled twice by Kenyon Martin. Nelson had to replace Milicic and replaced Barnes.

George Karl is a well-known chicken thief coach in the NBA. After he played, he studied the game between the Warriors and the Trail Blazers. Milicic on the Warriors power forward is a technical insider.

Kenyon Martin is the first point of attack for the Nuggets inside, but it is especially dependent on the point guard, and scoring depends entirely on the mood of the point guard.In the few years in the Nets, he was fully activated by Kidd, averaging close to [-] points per game, coupled with athletic ability, both offensive and defensive ends can be ranked in the top [-] in the league.

But after coming to the Nuggets, the Nuggets point guard is Iverson, and Iverson and Kidd are completely different types, which makes Kenyon Martin gradually lose his passion on the offensive end.The arrival of Billups made Kenyon Martin very happy. There is no doubt that Billups is a good point guard. The first two games fed Martin enough cakes to give Martin a second spring in the Nuggets.

Kenyon Martin is more difficult to defend than Aldridge and Gasol. It's not that he is strong, but that he doesn't hold the ball and relies on point guards to connect. Only by strangling the Nuggets' point guard to pass the ball can Kenyon Martin cool down.

Billups' cooperation with Anthony on the outside of the Nuggets, or with Martin in the pick-and-roll, has posed a great threat to the Warriors.Lowry's height gap after switching defenses is too big, there is nothing he can do about Anthony,

Li Zhiyou must keep up with Billups.Billups can shoot and shoot, and he can pass the ball well, but he can't let it go.

After the first quarter, the Warriors trailed the Nuggets by 14 points. Kenyon Martin dunked in the air one after another, broke ground on O'Neal, and scored [-] points.

Nelson only had O'Neal, Milicic, and Jordan as three standard insiders. Barnes' defense against Kenyon Martin in the first quarter was not very good.

Nelson looked at Jordan, who was not playing, and Lowry, and shook his head.

Jr. Jordan and Kenyon Martin are the same type of players with outstanding athletic ability. As long as someone organizes them, they will not worry about performance. However, the Warriors do not have that kind of organizational point guard, which cannot inspire Jr. Jordan's small universe.

Li Zhi obviously noticed this too. The cooperation between Kenyon Martin and Billups reminded Li Zhi of Paul and Jordan in his previous life.

In the second quarter, the two sides replaced the substitutes, and the sixth man Crawford met his opponent. The Nuggets also had a convulsive scorer on the bench—JR Smith.

JR Smith had a convulsion in the second quarter. He played against Crawford for 6 minutes. Nick Young and Morrow, who had performed well in front of them, made two fatal mistakes. The Nuggets seized the opportunity and made a 6:0.

Back on the court, O'Neal and Li Zhi led the main force to chase points hard. They relied on pick-and-roll offense to score a lot, but JR Smith was not the only one who broke out for the Nuggets. Kenyon Martin continued his good momentum and scored consecutively. In the end, 89:99, the Warriors lost by 10 points.

Li Zhi's data did not lose to Anthony, scoring 28 points, 4 rebounds and 7 assists, surpassing Anthony's 24 points.

Milicic was once again under fire from the pundits, this time he was blown out by Kenyon Martin, and he didn't play very well no matter who he faced.

There are two reasons for the Warriors' loss. One is that the power forward position was restrained, and Kenyon Martin took off again under the care of Billups.The second is that the Warriors do not have a top point guard who can control the rhythm. After the whole game, the Warriors were exhausted and completely fell into the rhythm of Billups.

There is no good solution for this kind of loss. Nelson can only hope that Lowry and Milicic can grow up. After the game, Nelson did not blame Lowry and Milicic, but encouraged them.

Milicic has never been so cared about before, and vowed to perform well in the next game.

After the Nuggets lost a game at home, the Warriors were overtaken by the Nuggets and fell to the third place in the Western Conference.

Experts gave the Warriors advice one after another, suggesting that they give up on Milicic. The Warriors still have ample salary in the team. Only O'Neal and Jackson have two top salaries. Li Zhi and Crawford are both models of low salaries and high salaries.

Now there are not many good players that can be signed in the free market. We can only wait for other teams to lay off staff. The Warriors are easy to miss.

On November 11, the Warriors returned to play against the Lakers again, but this time it was the Warriors' home court.

Fighting the Lakers again, the situation didn’t improve. Kobe’s game was still Li Zhi’s nightmare, and Gasol tortured Milicic to death. The best performer was O’Neal, who was invincible in low-post singles, but at the last moment, Jackson once again resorted to the “shark-cutting tactics”.

Li Zhi scored 18 points and 7 assists, and O'Neal scored 37 points and 11 rebounds. The old Sharks tried their best, so there is nothing to say.

Fortunately, the system did not assign Li Zhi the task of scoring more than Kobe, otherwise Li Zhi would be miserable this time.

This game also once again made Li Zhi aware of the difficulty of lack of skills, and Li Zhi had to come to the system again to find a solution.
