In this round, the Warriors strengthened their defense of the air pick, and the Trail Blazers did not play the air cut tactics.

Seeing that the attacking time was running out, Jokic turned and walked directly to the basket. There was a man standing inside. It was Warriors backup insider Festus Ezeli.

Speaking of which, Azeri was also in the same session as Wang Zelin and Lillard. He was selected by the Warriors with the 30th overall pick in the first round.

However, after two seasons, Wang Zelin has become the league's first center, and Lillard was also selected as an All-Star last season and is regarded as a quasi-first-line point guard in the league.

Only Azeri is still an unknown member of the Warriors bench since his debut.

Compared with the two students of the same class, only he is still spinning around.

"If I can't compare to Wang Zelin, I don't believe it. I can't even solve one of his younger brothers."

Azeri roared inwardly.

At the same time, staring intently at Jokic, Ezeli, who has been in the NBA for two years, is already familiar with the playing style of European players and goes to the basket in advance.

Jokic is quite bulky, but his disadvantage is his slow speed.

But he soon discovered that he had been shaken.

Jokic is slow and slow, but he has a very strong sense of rhythm. He didn't turn around until the moment Azeri took off, shake the defender clean and then put the basket to score!

"nice shot!"

"What's that fat man's name? I like him!"

"It seems to be called... Nikola Jokic!"

The fans cheered again.

Wang Zelin laughed and said, "Coach, what did I say, Nikolai didn't let you down."

"You are right."

At this point, Coach Terry's brows were completely stretched out.

There is no doubt that Jokic used his performance to convince everyone, including coach Terry Stotts, who has always been relatively harsh to players on the court.

...

soon.

The second quarter is over, halftime is over.

Jokic scored 4 points, 3 assists and 2 rebounds in a single quarter, which can be regarded as a new high for his scoring and assists in a single quarter in the NBA regular season.

Whether it's facing Maris Speights, Feistu, Ezeli, or Iguodala who is double-teamed, Jokic has shown a very high basketball IQ, because he can always find the best basketball IQ. Reasonable handling of the ball.

After returning to the bench, it can be seen from the smile of the head coach and the claws of the boss Wang Zelin that he only placed on Jokic's head and never let go, that the rookie Jokic has gradually gained the trust of his teammates.

The fly in the ointment is his performance on the defensive end, which is difficult to improve until he loses weight.

But, again: he's still a rookie!

For most rookies, you can't ask for more.

Not everyone, like Wang Zelin and Lillard, showed a strong fighting force as soon as they entered the league.

What's more, Jokic's starting point was only a second-round pick.

Currently, the field score is 56:49, and the Blazers lead by 7 points into the second half.

In the second half, it was easy to fight again.

Both sides returned to the starting lineup in the first quarter.

Warriors attack.

Curry held the ball and advanced across the midline.

He found that the defender in front of him had changed. It was no longer Lillard, but the No. 3.

Opposite Curry, Beverley took the initiative to meet him while interfering with the dribble, while coldly spraying red-eared trash talk:

"Listen, kid, your so-called top shooter in active duty is a joke in my opinion. Yes, only a coward would choose to shoot so many three-pointers from the outside, I think you don't want your team's team name. It's called the Warriors, let's call it the Cowards."

Asking Beverley to match Curry was exactly the personnel adjustment that Coach Terry made at halftime.

Judging from the first half, Curry has hit 4 three-pointers, obviously feeling hot. At the end of the first quarter, Coach Terry noticed that the entire tactical operation of the Warriors revolved around Curry. Therefore, the team needs to limit Curry in the second half, and only by limiting Curry's performance, the Warriors' operation will no longer be as smooth as in the first half. Strong Sacrifice Read Sacrifice

When facing Curry, if Lillard's defense is a modest gentleman, then Beverley is a vicious dog who can do anything on the defensive end.

And this happens to be the root of Beverley's standing in the NBA.

To sum up, it cannot be found that if you want to better restrict Curry, Beverley is the best choice.

Therefore, there is a combination of Beverley + Matthews + Batum + Aldridge + Wang Zelin on the court. This time KEM Zhang Si

In this combination, Aldridge, who is relatively the worst defensive player, is also above the league average. What's more, next to him is Wang Zelin, the best defensive player winner last season, making the Blazers' basket a minefield. As long as someone dares to violate, Wang Zelin will send an unforgivable blood cap at the first moment.

In the perimeter trio, Matthews, who is at the peak of his career, is the league's top perimeter defender. His perimeter defense may be slightly weaker than the Grizzlies' Tony Allen, but not necessarily inferior to the Spurs' Dan. Nigrin.

The same is true of Batum, who is also at his peak, and his external defense ability can also be called first-class among flankers.

As for Beverley, needless to say, he has the best defense level.

As soon as the third quarter came up, the pressure from the Blazers on the defensive end was not at the same level as the first half.

"Is this playing the playoffs?"

On the commentary stand, Weber's eyes widened.

Yes, in Wang Zelin, he has already played this game as a playoff, even the level of the Western Finals stage.

Because he knows better than anyone that in the past time and space, it was the Warriors who reached the top in the 013-2014 season.

After the start of the third quarter, as Curry failed to score two three-pointers from the outside, Wang Zelin protected the defensive rebounds and fought back in succession~www.wuxiaspot.com~ The score difference between the two sides broke through double digits.

The Trail Blazers had a double-digit lead, everyone was on guard, but Kerr was going crazy.

After hurriedly calling a timeout, he repeatedly needed to pass the ball more thoroughly and be patient, because there are people on the opposite side, and it is impossible to maintain such a strong defense all the time. Sooner or later, there will be opportunities.

However, in the next quarter, Kerr became the first to get impatient.

Because he found that facing the defending champions in earnest, the Warriors at this stage are still a little too tender.

Not only Curry and the others, but even Kerr himself, is just a rookie coach. Although it was later proved that Kerr's talent in the field of coaching far exceeded his playing days, and even reached the level of a legendary coach, it is inevitable that anyone who encounters the ultimate boss as soon as he debuts will not be able to withstand it.

In this quarter, the Warriors completely lost control of the game.

28:15, the score on the field also said everything.

The Trail Blazers still maintained an average single-quarter scoring performance, while the Warriors' offense suddenly became like a toothpaste squeeze, and everyone on the court, no matter who, felt it was extremely difficult to score.

In the third quarter, where did the Splash Brothers still have the bravery of 4 of 4 at the beginning. In this quarter, Curry made 1 of 7 and Klay made 0 of 4, and the two shot 1 of 11 in total. control the big lord

78:64.

When the Blazers entered the fourth quarter with a 14-point lead and the ball was theirs to start the fourth...

As Wang Zelin scored 2+1 at the basket, the game lost its suspense.

In the end, the Blazers defeated the Warriors 106:89 at home and won the first three consecutive victories!
