Soul of the Golden State

Chapter 292
On December 12, the Warriors narrowly beat the Cavaliers at home.

Since Mark Price was cut off by the Warriors, the Cavaliers this season are actually weaker than the Cavaliers in the original time and space.

But even so, the Cavaliers' lineup is still pretty good, with great potential.

First of all, the shooting guard is the No. 86 pick in 8, Ron Harper, who scored 22.9 points, 4.8 rebounds, 4.8 assists, and 2.55 steals in his rookie season, which is considered a bankrupt version of Jordan.

At the center position is Brad Doherty, the No. 86 pick in 15.7. He also scored 8.1 points and [-] rebounds in his rookie season. Another potential star is rising.

Both made the All-Rookie First Team at the end of last season and have bright futures.

There is Larry Nance at the power forward position, and this season they used the No. 7 pick to select point guard Kevin Johnson.

Coupled with the fact that the head coach is the famous Lance Wilkens, it looks like this is a promising team with a bright future waiting for them not far away.

However, at the beginning of this season, Ron Harper was troubled by a foot injury first, and both his attendance rate and his state plummeted. Then, Larry Nance was injured and absent for two months, which directly caused the Cavaliers' offense and defense. has been greatly affected.

You must know that Harper is not only a scorer who can contribute 20 points per game, but also the defensive core of the outside line. On March 3 last season, he contributed 10 steals in the game against the 76ers, directly creating a rookie Single game steal record.

And Larry Nance is the defensive core of the entire team. He is a lightning-blocking machine that can swing from the 3rd position to the 5th position. The combination with Doherty makes the Cavaliers' defense comparable to that of the Pistons. .

It’s just that all of this was lost to injuries. Plath’s strong appearance this season has enabled the Cavaliers to maintain a high combat power. During the season, Plath was righted and Kevin Johnson was traded to the Suns. .

Now, without Price, the Cavaliers can only give Kevin Johnson a certain amount of playing time. Unfortunately, Kevin Johnson has not fully grown up at this time, and it is not enough to determine the outcome of the game.

It's just that the Warriors' shooting percentage declined again in this game, which led to the Cavaliers not being taken away in the third quarter. Under the leadership of Doherty and Holt Rod Williams, they persisted until the last moment.

At the end of the game, the Cavaliers used foul tactics against the Warriors due to lack of time, but both Li Weisi and Mullin were free throw masters. In the end, the Cavaliers lost the lore and narrowly defeated the Warriors by 112:114.

After defeating the Cavaliers, with a day off, the Warriors ushered in the Eagles game at home.

本场比赛威尔金斯发挥神勇，出场35分钟，25投18中，三分球2投2中，砍下45分10篮板4助攻。

On the Warriors' side, due to the poor feel of their teammates, Li Weisi stood up and scored 36 points and 8 assists. In the third quarter, he once formed a scoring confrontation with Wilkins, which made the audience enjoy themselves.

In the end, Wilkins had the best laugh. With 23.3 seconds left in the game, Wilkins singled Mullin with his back and hit a crucial goal.

Then the Warriors missed a three-point shot and had to foul to send Doug Rivers to the free throw line. Rivers made two free throws to help the team seal the victory.

It is worth mentioning that Rivers scored a total of 2 points in this game, but sent out 8 assists.

Song Tao didn't play in this game. There was nothing he could do. The whole game was very anxious, and there was no chance for him to play. What's more, the Eagles had so many players who could play. Even Hastings, who had been pressing Song Tao, He only got 2 minutes to play, not to mention the fringe characters of the team!
After the game, Song Tao was invited by Li Weisi and Frank to go to Baiweiju for dinner together, as the host, entertaining guests from afar.

"Father, this is the Qilu friend I met in Huaxia, Song Tao, he gave you that Fushan apple." Li Weisi introduced Song Tao to his father, and let the two fellow villagers know each other.

Since Frank held a dinner, the reputation of Baiweiju has spread among the upper class in the Golden State area. Everyone knows that Li Weisi's father opened a Chinese restaurant in San Francisco.

As a result, those who wanted to hook up with Frank, or those who wanted to chase stars, all ran to Baiweiju. For a while, the business of Baiweiju in San Francisco was not very good.

And Li Wantang, just like that, turned around gorgeously, from an inconspicuous fly restaurant owner to the most famous Chinese restaurant owner in San Francisco, and his whole temperament has also changed a lot.

With the explosion of Chinese restaurants in downtown San Francisco, the original Baiweiju in Chinatown also began to be remodeled. Aunt Niu was appointed by Li Wantang as the store manager of the store, and she checked the decoration of the old Baiweiju on weekdays.

"Oh, Xiao Song, hello, thank you for the apple!" Li Wantang shook hands with Song Tao enthusiastically after entering the private room.

"Uncle, you are too polite, it's just a little apple, not worth mentioning."

"How can it not be worth mentioning? It's not a simple apple, it's the taste of my hometown to me." Li Wantang invited Song Tao to sit down, and then said generously: "Order whatever you want, tonight This meal is mine, I have two menus here, the outside one is for fooling the Americans, if you want to eat authentic Shandong cuisine, you have to come from our own people."

"Don't be so troublesome. I'll listen to my uncle. I'll just eat as I want. To be honest with my uncle, I've been in the United States for more than two months. Everything else is fine. It's just this meal. It's really unpleasant to eat."

"Hahaha, okay, you sit and talk to Wei Si and the others, I will cook for myself today!"

"Hey, that's really troublesome uncle."

"No trouble, no trouble..."

Enthusiastic Li Wantang comforted Song Tao to sit down, and then happily came to the back kitchen alone, ready to cook for himself.

Since coming to this new store, there are more than a dozen chefs in the back kitchen, all of whom were recruited by Frank, and Li Wantang couldn't get involved at all. Using this excuse this time, it is rare for him to enjoy his hands.

In the private room, Song Tao was also very emotional. He hadn't felt it in Atlanta yet. Only when he came to Oakland and San Francisco did Song Tao truly feel Li Weisi's terrifying popularity.

Not to mention the cheers from the fans at the scene, the biggest promotional poster in the stadium is a half-length photo of Li Weisi, and when I came to Baiweiju today, many guests took photos with the posters and portraits inside Baiweiju. for dinner.

Not only that, but on the TV in the hotel, there are advertisements about Li Weisi's sneakers and game highlights, which are obviously Li Weisi's fan club!

Countless blond and blue-eyed "foreign adults" are chasing such a compatriot like him crazily. For Song Tao, this is indeed something beyond his cognition.
