Soul of the Golden State

Chapter 332

The third stop of the Warriors playoffs finally returned to Seattle, which made the Sonics team feel relieved.

The sound of the old arena in Oakland, like the roar of the devil, constantly hit the heart of every Sonic player, even experienced veteran players were unwilling to face it.

Unknowingly, the Warriors' home court has gradually acquired the atmosphere of the Devil's home court.

Of course, all of this is inseparable from the excellent performance of the Warriors. It is precisely because of the strength of the Warriors that fans are willing to shout for them, and they can bring all-round physical and psychological threats to opponents.

Back at the Seattle Center Stadium, the Supersonics team flung off the last game, facing the situation where they had one foot on the edge of the cliff, the whole team exploded with astonishing momentum, because they did not want to be out like this .

At the beginning of the game tonight, Chambers, who was in poor form in the previous game, ushered in a rebound. His low singles and mid-range shots made Rodman impossible to guard against.

Not only that, McDaniel and Ellis also performed well, and the Supersonics played out all their advantages.

On the other hand, for the Warriors, everyone's performance was generally not good. As a result, when the Sonics wanted to widen the point difference, Li Weisi stepped forward to score ahead of time, which made the Sonics fail to succeed.

Li Weisi's outstanding performance supported the offense of the Warriors team. Facing the Supersonic team's offense, Li Weisi almost relied on his own strength to deal with the opponent.

Not only that, Nelson found that Li Weisi was in good form tonight, so he decided to let Li Weisi play the first quarter. On the Supersonic side, Bickerstaff did not dare to use the rotation lineup, but extended the Supersonic three shots. time.

Therefore, in the second half of the first quarter, Li Weisi took 4 substitutes, and when he played against the supersonic mixed lineup, he actually had the upper hand.

In the first quarter, the Warriors scored 39 points in a single quarter, allowing the team to lead the SuperSonics by 39 points at 34:5.

Among them, Li Weisi scored 16 points and 6 assists in a single quarter, leading the team to suppress the Supersonics.

By the start of the second quarter, the shooting percentages of both sides have declined, and the Sonics have also learned the lessons of the first two games tonight.

Even if the team gave up the fast break, they had to try their best to protect the backcourt rebounds. This effect was obvious. At this time, the Warriors still failed to grab enough frontcourt rebounds and get a lot of opportunities for second offense.

And this point did not change the situation until Li Weisi came back from a break for half a quarter. The two teams tied at 24 in the second quarter.

After entering the second half, the touch of the two teams recovered.

McDaniel received a shot from Chambers from the inside with 3 seconds left in the attack time. Before he could make adjustments, he faced Mullin's hand and directly chose a three-pointer. However, this seemingly random shot, It actually hit.

This time, the originally silent Supersonics fans immediately boiled up. This kind of fairy ball is really invigorating.

But turning his head, Li Weisi used Mullin's pick-and-roll to meet McDaniel who was supplementing the defense. He chose a three-pointer against McDaniel at a 45-degree position and made the same hit.

The momentum that had been rising at the scene suddenly stagnated.

Immediately after it was the Supersonics' turn to attack, Ellis got rid of Curry's defense by running without the ball, and at the same time went beyond the three-point line, received a pass from McMillan, and made a three-pointer at the same 45-degree position Hit again!
Now the fans can finally cheer with confidence, such an answer ball is really exciting!
But then, after halftime Li Weisi dribbled the ball, he didn't make any adjustments at all, and directly chose a positive three-pointer. With a strong back spin, the basketball bypassed McMillan's fingertips, got into the basket, and entered the net hollowly. .

This murderous goal, like a sharp steel knife, ruthlessly pierced into the hearts of every Supersonics fan present.

Also discouraged, not only the fans at the scene, but even the supersonic players are a little bit unconscious, how can such a game be played?
Sure enough, in the subsequent attack, the Supersonics missed a shot, and the Warriors seized the opportunity to counterattack. Li Weisi directly sent a long pass to find Ma Long, who was already 33 years old, and his speed was already so fast. Te left behind and dunked with both hands.

Seeing that the player's mentality was about to collapse, Bickerstaff quickly called a timeout. With rich experience, he clearly felt that if he didn't call a timeout, then the Warriors were likely to take the game away with this wave.

After the timeout, the Supersonic players recovered a lot. Facing the Warriors' aggressive offense, they gritted their teeth and resisted.

However, even so, the Warriors still entered the fourth quarter with a 10-point lead.

Tonight, the performance of the two teams' substitutes was not very good, which is also related to their lack of playing time. Because at the most critical moment, the Sonics must ensure that at least two of the three shots on the field are fired at the same time. on the field.

It is also because of this that the Warriors' substitutes have a hard time playing, because the opponents they encounter are of completely different levels.

Fortunately, tonight, Nelson also shortened the time the Warriors came off the bench.

At this moment when bayonets are popular, any idea of ​​conserving physical strength is absurd. After winning this game, they have plenty of time to rest.

It was in this atmosphere that Li Weisi appeared on the stage after a 3-minute break in the fourth quarter. You know, Li Weisi also played a full third quarter tonight.

But Li Weisi had an effect as soon as he played. The Supersonic side was afraid of Li Weisi's long-range shots, so Li Weisi helped the team score consecutively through assists.

Then, after mobilizing the Sonics' defense, they fired consecutive shots from the outside, and finally made the Sonics completely surrender with 1 minute and 15 seconds left in the game.

At the end of the game, the Warriors 125:117, leading the Supersonics by 8 points, won the game, eliminated the Supersonics with a total score of 3:0, and advanced to the Western Conference semifinals.

此役超音速队真可谓拼尽了全力，钱伯斯23投13中，得到34分6篮板，麦克丹尼尔20投13中，得到30分12篮板5助攻，艾利斯18投12中，得到30分6篮板5助攻。

On the same team, in one game, all three scored more than 30 points, and they actually lost, which really made it difficult for Sonics fans to accept.

And it was Li Weisi who defeated them. He played 39 minutes tonight, made 36 of 23 shots, scored 52 points and 13 assists, and his shooting percentage was as high as 63.9%. What the team loses is convincing.

Not only that, the Warriors also became the only team that swept their opponents in the first round of the playoffs this season. At this time, other teams are still fighting fiercely.
