NBA Please Answer 2007

Chapter 26 The Imperfect Debut
Carlos Boozer quickly grabbed the rebound and handed it to Deron.

Deron twisted his strong chubby legs to launch a fast break.

At this time, Kirilenko had already passed halftime, Deron made a through pass, and Kirilenko made a layup.

Who is Kirilenko?

Maybe the current fans don't know it for a long time, but some fans who have witnessed the Rockets era will never forget that Kirilenko brings painful memories to Rockets fans every time.

Andrei Kirilenko, nicknamed "AK47", is 2 meters 06 in length, the 2004 All-Star, and the king of blocked shots.

He has been selected to the best defensive team many times, and his function is similar to the "Draymond Green" of the Warriors today. He acts as a defensive gate and an offensive hub for the Jazz.

Moreover, Kirilenko's style of play is extremely in line with coach Jerry Sloan's tactics, and his style of play is extremely powerful.The Jazz are also one of the few Jagged Legions.

Under the Jazz's iron-blooded defense, the Warriors made many mistakes and their offensive efficiency was extremely low.Only by relying on the singles of a few stars to score, after the first quarter, the Warriors inevitably fell behind.

Li Zhi could see that there was a reason why the Warriors were behind.

The Warriors have sufficient offensive firepower from outside, but their defense is weak. It seems extremely difficult for the old Nelson's combination of fast break and defense tactics to be realized on this Warriors team.

Davis and others who played in the first quarter sat down on their chairs, their expressions were not more than melancholy. The feeling of losing to the same opponent twice is really uncomfortable.

"Lee, Barnes, you play in the second quarter, replace Davis and Al, Jackson plays power forward, Jr. Monta plays point guard. We need to speed up, but we can't ignore the defense. George is responsible for marking Deron, and Barnes will do a good job of assisting defense."

Li Zhi and the others nodded.

It's just that Al Harrington on the bench swept the situation on the field coldly, didn't say a word, and didn't know what he was thinking.

"Come on, George!"

Avril stood up behind and shook her fist at Li Zhi.

Li Zhi nodded and smiled when he saw it, but his heart was full of joy.

"Oh, that's Lavigne, he's cheering for Lee!" A fan recognized Avril Lavigne in light makeup.

The nearby fans all looked towards Lavigne in surprise, all of them were extremely surprised, and then the male fans cast jealous eyes on Li Zhi.

Li Zhi's back turned cold.

"The first show, absolutely can't be messed up. No matter how you want to have 20 points."

Li Zhi is very clear about the current task - defending Delong.

Deron and Kirilenko are the two points of the Jazz's offense. As long as Sir Deron's offense is strangled, it will inevitably struggle. At that time, it is the opportunity for the Warriors to counterattack.

Deron saw that the Warriors sent a rookie to defend him, not to mention how disdainful he was.

"Boy, are you okay?" Delong looked at Li Zhi and snorted coldly.

"Is it okay if you try it?" Li Zhi was not angry, and looked at Delong with a smile.

Seeing that Li Zhi ignored him, Delong decided to teach this rookie a lesson. He is the strongest yellow man, just a gimmick.

Delong held the ball and broke through to the right of Li Zhi, but Li Zhi gradually leaned back under his breakthrough.Delong was overjoyed, it was really just an embroidered pillow, and it opened as soon as it was topped.

"Breakthrough, George was pushed away by Deron." Jumbari shouted.

All the fans held their breath following Barry's voice.

"No, steal! George stole Deron's ball!"

Li Zhi didn't stop when he got the ball, he just dribbled the ball and made a fast break.

"Oh!"

A strong slam dunk woke up the audience.

Delong looked resentful, this kid is too cunning!He even fooled me.

After Delong took the ball, he did not attack again. The golf quotient told him that attacking Li Zhi would only make him passive.Under Deron's organization, Boozer caught the ball and scored two points.

Under the absolute strength gap, even if Li Zhi can restrain Delong well, it will be difficult to reverse the overall situation.

In the second quarter, the two teams played a fast break. Although the Warriors scored a lot in this quarter, the Jazz scored more.

By the end of the third quarter, the Warriors had trailed by 19 points.

In the fourth quarter, Nelson didn't let the starting players continue to waste energy, and called out early to withdraw.

Li Zhi, on the other hand, played with a substitute under Nelson's arrangement, and kept scoring points, finally scoring 17 points.

In the end, Li Zhi played 20 minutes and scored 17 points, 3 rebounds and 2 steals.

The debut ended in a disastrous defeat.

117:96, a very frustrating point difference.

In the living room, no one said a word.

Old Nelson sighed, and finally his eyes fell on Li Zhi who lowered his head, and then shook his head again, not knowing what he was thinking.

"We can't continue to stay in the achievements of black eight and cannot move forward, children, the new season has begun..."

Baron Davis looked up at his teammates, silent.

Li Zhi felt that at this time, Davis, as the leader, should stand up to boost morale.

Davis is not suitable to be a leader after all.

……

Li Zhi was not happy at all, even though the score in the first show was not low, but the team's disastrous defeat made it difficult for him to adapt.

When he joined the team, Li Zhi felt that the Warriors were a little chaotic. Now that the season is starting, this phenomenon is even more obvious.

But Li Zhi was powerless. As a rookie, he had no right to speak in the team, so he could only take one step at a time.

"What's the matter? You're frowning!" Avril asked, holding Li Zhi's arm.

"It's nothing, it's about the team, I just feel a little powerless." Li Zhi said lightly.

"A lot of things can't be changed, it's better to get used to it slowly." Avril Lavigne said.

Then Li Zhi and Avril went to a local Chinese restaurant for dinner and sent Avril to the hotel.

On the way, Avril, who was silent and reticent, started talking more without realizing it, and talked a lot about herself with Li Zhi.

Li Zhi was driving on the quiet streets of Oakland, thinking about what Avril Lavigne said.

Li Zhi felt that he had a chance, and gradually a smile came to the corner of his mouth.

What else is there to be unhappy about? Even if the team environment is a bit worse, my future is still bright.

……

Li Zhi's impressive performance in the first game excited many domestic media.

"Li Zhi scored 17 points, 2 rebounds and 2 steals in his debut. China's future star shines in the NBA."

"The core of the warrior? In the not-too-distant future!"

"Who will be the leader of the 07 generation, Durant or Li Zhi?"

A piece of crazy news made the hearts of domestic fans hot, and Li Zhi's domestic popularity rose to a higher level in an instant.

On a certain post bar, "Li Zhiba" instantly became a basketball base for a group of patriotic fans.

"Li Zhi's preseason dunk highlights!"

A person who claimed to be an international student at the University of California in the United States posted such a video on "Li Zhi Bar". Many unknowing fans clicked in out of curiosity and wanted to see how the little-known Li Zhi played!
"bang"

……

The difficult dunks shocked the fans.

　Come to some recommendations, come to some favorites!It's been a rough day.
