Soul of the Golden State

Chapter 335 Sudden Strength
"MVP! MVP..."

The hysterical shouts of the fans at the scene expressed their anger. In their view, Li Weisi is the MVP.

Li Weisi was doing shooting training on the court as if nothing had happened.

Off the court, Frank frowned.

Recalling that after the MVP award came out, Frank hurried to find Li Weisi, worried that he couldn't figure it out, but unexpectedly Li Weisi just asked indifferently: "Is there anything I haven't done well?"

Frank choked suddenly, he really wanted to say to Li Weisi: "You have done well enough."

But he couldn't say that, so he could only stay silent with Li Weisi.

The voices at the scene filled the ears of every Mavericks player. Although they knew that this was not aimed at them, they still had lingering fears.

"It's really scary. Luckily we're not Michael. If he came, I guess these fans would have to rush up and kill him?" Blackman looked around and looked around with emotion.

"What does this have to do with us, let's focus on this game!" Aguirre said with a heavy expression, patted Blackman's butt.

"Don't worry, we will win this time! No matter who the opponent is!" Blackman looked back at this brother who entered the NBA in the same year as himself and worked together with the Mavericks for seven years, and couldn't help comforting him.

However, in the face of Blackman's comfort, Aguirre did not respond as he should, but just said lightly: "I hope."

It has been seven years since he came to the Mavericks. Aguirre thinks that he has contributed everything to the Mavericks, but now he is 29 years old, and there is no hope of a championship in the Mavericks.

Now he is hesitant, should he make a change?Give up everything you have and chase your dreams?

However, he was a little shaken when he saw the brothers around him who encouraged him, but when he thought of his friend's promise during the All-Star Game, he still shook his head and made up his mind.

However, even if he left, he had to fight with his brothers before he left. If he could make it to the end, that would be the best. If he couldn't, try not to regret it.

The main reason why Aguirre thinks this way is that the current status of the Mavericks is really embarrassing.

This season, the Mavericks' ranking in the regular season is not even as good as last season, but the overall strength of the team is stronger, and it can almost be called the strongest Mavericks in the entire 80s.

Even in the original time and space, the Mavericks eliminated the Rockets 3:1 and the Nuggets 4:2 in the playoffs this season, reached the Western Conference Finals, and fought the Lakers in seven games before finally losing. Best score in Mavericks history.

However, this alone still cannot change the status quo that they are difficult to win.

Not only that, at this time the Mavericks' positions are quite balanced, and the depth of the bench is also at the forefront of the league. Six players in the team scored in double figures, second only to the Warriors.

Among the starting five players, Aguirre, Blackman, Derek Harper and Sam Perkins are all at the peak of their careers. Although center James Donaldson has passed his peak, he still has strength. In the original time and space, He was also selected as an All-Star this season, but unfortunately, due to Moses Malone's Westward Journey, his spot has been preempted.

In addition, on the bench, there are Roy Tapley, the best sixth man of the season, and Rod Higgins, who averaged 10.4 points per game.

Therefore, after the game started, the Warriors were not as easy as they thought.

At the beginning of the game, Aguirre launched a strong offensive with a feeling of farewell. He used his unsolvable singles skills to frequently score on Mullin's head.

However, someone on the Warriors' side also stood up, and that was Moses Malone.

After playing in the regular season, his scoring average fell below 20 points per game this season, and his rebounds also fell to a record low of 10.4. However, Malone didn't care about these.

At this time, he just wanted to win the championship again, to experience the wonderful moment he experienced once.

Therefore, in this game, facing the relatively weak inside line of the Mavericks, Malone stood up and scored first.

Although James Donaldson is taller and heavier than Malone, he is a white center after all. Facing the super mobile Malone, Donaldson can't keep up with Malone's footsteps.

And his helper, Sam Perkins, looks in good health, but he looks like the best defensive player in the air, but he is actually a power forward who is a pitcher.

In this era, for such an alternative space power forward, he has won the title of soft egg gorgeously.

Therefore, it is simply unrealistic to expect Perkins to help Donaldson. In this way, facing such a pair of insiders, how could Malone not seize the opportunity to bully him?

Therefore, after the Warriors started the game, instead of Li Weisi launching the offense as before, they started from the inside in a very traditional way. What's even more amazing is that the effect was not bad.

In this way, the two teams fought against each other in the first quarter, and the Warriors led the Mavericks by 34 points at 32:2 in the first quarter.

In the first quarter, Li Weisi played the whole game, especially after Ma Long and Mullin took the rest, he still did not take the initiative to take over the offensive banner, but continued to look for teammates, and used the Mavericks' internal defensive problems to assist Duckworth one after another. Hit with Schramf.

It's just that the Mavericks' offense was also good, which prevented the Warriors from pulling the score apart.

In the second quarter, the offensive efficiency of the two teams declined a little, and the sound of hammering irons increased. Even if the Warriors returned as the starter, they still failed to change this situation.

However, although the Mavericks' inside defense is not good, they are quite aggressive in grabbing rebounds, especially Roy Tapley, who came off the bench, faced Duckworth and Smith in the second quarter. Got three offensive rebounds.

However, the Warriors are not vegetarians. When it comes to grabbing rebounds, the Warriors have never been afraid of anyone!
So throughout the second quarter, the protection and fight for rebounds became the main theme throughout the second quarter.

In the second quarter, the two teams once again tied at 25. After halftime, the Warriors led the Mavericks by 59 points 57:2.

Entering the second half, Li Weisi, who had a very low sense of presence throughout the first half, finally took the initiative to stand up. This time, he was no longer on the offensive, simply looking for his teammates, but fired continuously from the outside.

Derek Harper, who had been on the fence for the entire first half, happened to be a little slack at this time, and Li Weisi seized the opportunity and scored consecutively.

Harper, who was selected to the second team of the All-Defensive Team last season, has a good defensive ability. Coupled with his height of 193cm, he can lock down ordinary point guards. Unfortunately, Li Weisi is not an ordinary point guard. .

Throwing shots after breaking through, consecutive changes of direction followed by step-back three-pointers, and fake fax layups while on the move. With such a combination of punches, the Warriors suddenly accelerated their offensive rhythm.

For a while, even the Mavericks were brought up by the Warriors to bring up the offensive rhythm, and unknowingly accelerated the rhythm.

In such a sudden acceleration of the offensive rhythm, the Warriors' defense suddenly became stronger, and the Mavericks failed to score for several consecutive rounds.

The Warriors took the opportunity to launch a wave of counterattacks. Li Weisi and Mu Lin chased for three-pointers consecutively. In just one and a half minutes, the Warriors had already pulled the score to double digits.

Seeing this situation, Mavericks coach John McLeod immediately called a timeout.
