Soul of the Golden State

Chapter 442
Compared with the West, the Warriors beat the Lakers 2:0 cleanly. The Pistons in the East were in trouble. They actually lost the first game at their home court.

This is the first game they have lost since entering the playoffs this season, and as a result, only the Warriors are left unbeaten in the playoffs this season.

Although the Pistons immediately equalized the score at home, they have already lost their home court advantage, not to mention that the two games did not show the dominance similar to the Warriors at all. For a while, the probability of the Warriors winning the championship skyrocketed.

In fact, this is really wronging the Pistons. It's not that the Pistons are not strong, but that Jordan is too buggy.

Although the regular season performance was mediocre this season, and the team only ranked seventh in the Western Conference, in the playoffs, the Bulls were able to advance to the Eastern Conference finals with strong opponents, which is absolutely extraordinary.

And Jordan has also entered the peak of his career this season. Although the league issued anti-isolation singles rules in order to restrict Jordan, this did not completely restrict Jordan.

It can be said that it is almost impossible for Jordan to defend himself alone!
Not only that, as Pippen and Grant grew up, the Pistons' "Jordan Law" became more and more difficult to implement. Although they can still rely on this law to win, who knows how long they can win? ?

What's more, the Pistons at this time, compared with the Pistons in the original time and space, lacked the important part of Rodman with Dpoy's strength, which made it more difficult for the Pistons to defend against Jordan.

After two wins over the Lakers at home, the Warriors won a three-day break. They did not go to Los Angeles in advance, but did not leave for Los Angeles until the morning of the game.

This is because Oakland and Los Angeles are not far apart, only more than 500 kilometers, and an hour and a half by plane is enough. More importantly, going to an away game has the risk of encountering outsiders from the opponent's fans and the temptation of Los Angeles itself for players.

So the later you go to Los Angeles, the better.

As for adapting to the game environment in advance, the Warriors go to Los Angeles no less than 10 times a year, and they are in the same state. They are so familiar that they cannot be more familiar, so there is no such thing as not adapting to the environment.

On May 5rd, at 23:19 in the evening, the third game of the Western Conference Finals, the Warriors challenged the Lakers away, officially started.

Despite losing two games in a row, the Lakers were in full swing after the start of tonight's game. They were not affected by the loss at all, and took the initiative at the beginning of the game.

Under the leadership of Magic Johnson, the team's starting five were extremely efficient, and even Kareem Abdul-Jabbar dreamed of returning to the top, scoring two goals in front of Malone in the opening game.

The Warriors expected the Lakers to counterattack long before the start of this game, but they still underestimated the determination of the Lakers.

Just 3 minutes into the game, Magic Johnson hit Richmond with his back, turned around and passed the ball to Worthy who slipped to the bottom line. At the same time caused Rodman's second foul.

At this time, the score of the two teams has reached 10:2, and the point difference is very large. However, what is even worse with the large point difference is that Rodman fouled twice.

Nelson called a timeout and replaced Rodman at the same time. He didn't dare to bet at the beginning of the game. Instead of letting Rodman lead two fouls on the court, it would be better to let him appear in the second quarter. Just who should be chosen to replace Rodman?

Nelson looked back and forth between Schramff and Anthony Mason, but finally he decided: "Reggie, let you go, can you complete the defense I want?"

Reggie Lewis, who was named, was a little confused and taken aback. He had no idea that the coach would let him play.

You know, the power forward that the team lacks at this time, I have never played before!
However, he also knew that now was not the time to back down, so he immediately shouted confidently: "Coach, don't worry, I promise to complete the task!"

"Very good! Next, the team's defense will be handed over to you, just like you play in the substitute lineup!" Nelson nodded, and then picked up the tactical board to arrange the added tactics: "Next , pay attention to the protection of rebounds..."

The reason why Nelson didn't choose the other two is mainly because the team's offensive points are sufficient, what he needs is a helper defender, and Schramf obviously doesn't have the ability to help defense, and Mason's single defense is good, but at this time he The ability to assist defense is not up to the level of this stage.

After two seasons of training, Lewis is not well-known, but he has been on the Warriors' bench, taking on the role of wiping Price and Hornacek's ass, so he is fully qualified for the position of the team's help defender.

As for his size, although he is 201cm tall, he is too light to carry AC Green at all. However, Nelson is betting on this, and he does not believe that the Lakers beat themselves to death with Green.

Of course, if he was really beaten to death by Green, then he would admit it too.

It has to be said that Nelson's choice is extremely bold, which further expands the Warriors' offensive space, but it also means that the inside defense is further emptied.

Seeing Nelson calling Lewis' name, Schramf and Mason on the side both showed disappointment. They hoped that Nelson was calling their names at this moment.

Back in the game, Woxiga made a free throw and the Lakers led by 9 points.

However, when they saw the Warriors' substitutions, they were still taken aback, because they didn't expect Nelson to be so bold in employing people in such a critical game.

But the effect of this employment is still good. Lewis' long-range shooting ability is far from comparable to Rodman's. Therefore, when Lewis is standing in the bottom corner, Green will inevitably be pulled out. The entire Lakers penalty area is empty and can run.

However, Li Weisi did not attack this ball. He directly lobbed the ball to Ma Long inside, and then opened up space for Ma Long to display.

Seeing that there was no one within two meters in front of him except Jabbar, Malone immediately began to shove Kareem hard with his back.

Even though Kareem is thin, he still withstood Malone's hard chisel. However, Malone obviously didn't know how to do this. After he turned around, he carried Kareem on his shoulders. Unexpectedly, he was covered with open arms all the time. Kareem Abdul-Jabbar was covered.

But Ma Long's ultimate move is always the second attack. Seeing the ball in the air was interfered by Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and fell, he judged the ball's landing point in advance, grabbed the next step and picked up the basketball, then got up again, and met Kareem Abdul-Jabbar in the air. Barr made physical contact again and completed a layup.

The basketball hit the backboard and bounced into the basket, which finally broke the Warriors' scoring drought and also marked that the Warriors' offense was back on track.

　I suddenly found that today is the last day of March. I would like to remind you that the monthly pass in your hand will be invalid if you don’t vote!
