Chapter 147 Center is a Good Thing
The Warriors attacked, and Lowry did not rush to attack, but passed the ball to Li Zhi. Li Zhi smiled, and did not attack by himself, but passed the ball to O'Neal again.
Old Nelson frowned off the court, and Li Zhi's style of play made him unable to understand. So far in this game, Li Zhi seems to be interested in giving O'Neal a chance, but thinking of O'Neal's success rate in singles last season, Nelson couldn't help but want to call a timeout.
But when Nelson just took a step, the fans at the Air Canada Center already remembered the huge boos.
Dunk!
O'Neal dunks the Raptors' head Chris Bosh!
Returning to defense on the big screen, I saw O'Neal jumping up immediately after receiving the ball. O'Neal was pushed up by O'Neal's power, and Bosh assisted in the defense, but was ruthlessly dunked by O'Neal.
The score came to 7:5.
Chris Bosh was not knocked down by a dunk, but O'Neal's dunk inspired Bosh's fighting spirit.
But in the next few rounds, Chris Bosh did not receive the ball. Under Li Zhi's frantic defense, Chris Bosh couldn't find a good shooting opportunity.
Tactics can't run out of open opportunities, so the stars can only be singled out. Bosh is distracted by Li Zhi's candy-style defense, and the Raptors have to let O'Neal play singles.
Although Jermaine O'Neal also wanted to get back on the field, but amidst the boos of the Canadian fans, O'Neal ruthlessly capped Jermaine O'Neal.
Raptors fans are so angry, many fans have already begun to curse O'Neal as a "sick ghost".
Their so-called all-star center couldn't win the old Sharks.
Shaq O'Neal is 36 years old, and Jermaine O'Neal is 30 years old. After a few rounds, a player who was at his peak was blown away by the old man on the opposite side!
The head coach of the Raptors, Sam Mitchell, quickly called a timeout. The best coach of the 06-07 season felt the pressure from the Warriors at this time. After rearranging some tactics, the two teams resumed fighting.
Then after 5 minutes, the score was pulled to 18:5
The Raptors did not score a single point in these 5 minutes.
However, the Warriors relied on the performance of outside shooters to open the score.
Of course, all this is thanks to a super god O'Neill.
O'Neill dunked twice within 5 minutes, and each was stronger than the other. The Raptors' home basket was trembling, and it seemed that they couldn't bear the great strength of the old shark.
O'Neal's rejuvenation is not only reflected in dunks, but also in rebounds. He grabbed 5 rebounds in 6 minutes, including an offensive rebound.
The Raptors' inside combination of Bosh and Jermaine O'Neal's offense tended to stagnate. Jermaine O'Neal did not believe in evil twice in singles against O'Neal, but the results were all failures.
Soon, at the end of the first quarter, the Warriors led the Raptors by 22 points 10:12.
Li Zhi scored 6 points, but got 3 rebounds and 2 assists, all of which were given to O'Neal.
After a whole quarter, Li Zhi was completely marking Chris Bosh, who had a good hand before.
There is nothing to say about Chris Bosh's shooting ability, but Li Zhi ran around Bosh all the time.
Li Zhi didn't think of locking Bosh, and he couldn't lock a power forward with a space of 2 meters, but even such close interference made Bosh feel a sharp decline.
Bosh's weakness is obvious, that is thinness, and Li Zhi has been looking for opportunities to give full play to his strength advantages.
In terms of strength, Li Zhi is not as good as James and Big Ben, but Bosh's tonnage and strength are not Li Zhi's opponent at all, and Li Zhi has also experienced the feeling of using strength to crush the defense.
At the beginning of the second quarter, Nelson planned to let the old Shark, who had played the whole quarter, rest for a while, but seeing O'Neal's eager expression, Nelson gritted his teeth and let O'Neal stay on the court.
Nelson has always been trying to blur the position and allow players to play multiple positions, just like Li Zhi, who played five positions under Nelson last season.
But when O'Neal single-handedly destroyed the inside line, Nelson was not stupid enough to let go of O'Neal. Maybe it would seem a bit risky. After all, O'Neal is 36 years old, but since O'Neal wanted to play, Nelson did not refuse.
Last season, the Warriors were often targeted by other teams on the inside. Bitrins is a good rebounder, but he can't take on the task of being the core of the inside. After being targeted countless times by others, he suddenly found that he can also bombard other people's inside. Nelson suddenly felt that this center is really a good guy.
The Warriors lineup in the second quarter is Crawford, Jackson, Li Zhi, Milicic, O'Neal.
After the Raptors changed a few players on the outside, Bosh and O'Neal on the inside were left on the court.
Sam Mitchell is gambling. He bet that O'Neal is just a flashback. If he plays more than ten minutes in a row, O'Neal will definitely be dragged down. At that time, the younger Bosh and O'Neal will destroy O'Neal together and catch up with the point difference.
Bosh hit Milicic hard, and Milicic did not lose his position on defense this time, but Bosh still hit.
22:12
The Warriors attacked, and Crawford dribbled past Calderon. Calderon is a good organizer, but he is not an excellent defender. This is comparable to his predecessor TJ Ford.
After attracting the defense, Crawford is passing the ball to Li Zhi on the right.
Li Zhi received the ball, and the defender Jamario Moon was the same size as Li Zhi, but weighed several tons less than Li Zhi. Li Zhi walked straight and bumped into him.
about to hit!
But just when the two were about to collide, Li Zhi suddenly pulled the ball back.Mu En was very experienced in defense and thought that Li Zhi was going to hit him, so he fell down exaggeratedly when Li Zhi was about to touch him.
This is the Raptors' home court, and the bald referee's whistle was already in his mouth to call Li Zhi for an offensive foul, but Li Zhi's pull made the referee dumbfounded.
Li Zhi was secretly delighted, Mu En, an old fox, must have made a fool of himself today.
Li Zhi just stood there, holding the basketball in one hand, seeing the referee in a daze, and directly shot a three-pointer from the outside.
25:12
Mu En refused to accept and stood up to argue, but the referee ignored him.
The Raptors attacked, and Bosh missed a three-pointer from the outside. O'Neal grabbed the inside rebound this time, but when O'Neal made the second attack, he was rudely pressed down by O'Neal.
O'Neill felt quite humiliated when the defensive rebound was taken from his head. He would never allow O'Neill to play a second attack on his head again.
O'Neill's tonnage was huge, and he threw O'Neill Jr. to the ground during the fall, and Jr. O'Neill howled miserably after falling to the ground.
The referee whistled, O'Neal stood up and pushed directly towards O'Neal, and was pressed and beaten by an old guy. O'Neal was already suffocated, and now he was pressed down so forcefully, O'Neal completely exploded.
