Soul of the Golden State

Chapter 51 Into a hard fight
Fat Leaf's nickname is "fat" (fat), not only because of his name, but also to describe his figure.

Li Weisi's strong body puts tremendous pressure on him. This kind of defensive pressure is a new version of the ship that he has never been in contact with. Frequent physical contact and steals that may be made at any time. Hazard of stealing.

Leaf, who has already started to step into the peak of his career, let Li Weisi, who has just stepped into the NBA, finally understand what the NBA is called.

After dribbling again for halftime, Li Weisi chose to reach out and call Malone for a pick-and-roll this time.

Ma Long's pick-and-roll quality was very good, and he firmly blocked Liv in front of him. After Liv's entanglement, Li Weisi's footsteps were much happier. out of the restricted area.

English's help defense came very quickly. Although English's speed was not fast, he could predict very accurately. When Li Weisi and Malone played a pick-and-roll, English was already moving inside.

However, English's defense naturally meant that Mullin was vacated. Li Weisi accurately passed the ball to Mullin.

Miss!

When Mullin shot, Li Weisi frowned, because he felt that the arc of Mullin's ball was significantly lower than that of yesterday's game.

Fortunately, Alaric, the 18th pick of the Nuggets in the first round this year, was no match for Larry Smith at all. Smith stuck Alaric firmly behind him, put the rebound in his arms, jumped again, and dunked succeed.

After grabbing offensive rebounds for two consecutive rounds, the difference in rebounding ability between the two teams is very obvious.

Looking back, Liv quickly pushed the ball forward, and once again firmly stuck Li Weisi behind him with his big butt, and slowly pushed towards the penalty area.

When he reached the free throw line again, English moved again to repeat the previous attack, but Leaf did not pass the ball, but turned around and shot against Li Weisi.

Go in!

Although Li Weisi tried his best to interfere, he still couldn't stop Li Fu's shot.

"Hi, rookie, welcome to the NBA!" Liv, who made the goal, looked at Li Weisi and uttered this classic trash talk.

But Li Weisi ignored Leaf as if he didn't hear him. He stayed in the backcourt and waited for the serve.

Liv, who was ignored, saw that his trash talk didn't work, and felt that he was making fun of himself. After spitting, he ran towards his own field, intending to teach the rookie a lesson with the next ball.

After the ball was switched again, Li Weisiren fell into Leaf's oppressive defense again after halftime, but after passing the pick-and-roll with Malone, he chose to pass the ball to Mullin again, but Mullin still failed. hit.

The Nuggets seized the opportunity, and this time they finally protected the backcourt rebound and counterattacked immediately. Leaf dribbled the ball quickly and advanced the frontcourt, breaking through Li Weisi's defense, flying and dunking in one go.

Liv, who fell from the basket, excitedly celebrated in front of Li Weisi. His arrogant appearance was really annoying, but Li Weisi ignored him again.

Li Weisi seemed to be thinking about something. Leaf's provocative actions were like dancing for a blind man, and he didn't get any positive feedback at all.

This made Liv feel a little depressed, thinking what happened to this rookie?Counseled like this, without any energy, is this really the third show this year?
In fact, Li Weisi was really not cowardly, he was just thinking. Although the team did not seem to be at a disadvantage at this time, from the beginning, Li Weisi felt that his teammates were out of shape.

It can be said that the first five players, except for Li Weisi and Ma Long, are more or less out of shape. Could it be the problem of the party last night?

If this is the reason, then the state of the substitute may not be much better. In this case, if you want to win, you can't think about killing the opponent all at once, you must be prepared for a protracted battle.

Therefore, Li Weisi, who attacked again, still did not choose to come by himself, but hoisted the ball into the inside and gave it to Ma Long.

He decided to take another look.

Ma Long is in good condition. He hit the inside line again toughly, using his speed and footwork to score the ball again against Schayers' defense.

It was tied again and the score was 6:6.

Li Weisi was not the only one who discovered the problem. Nelson on the sidelines also noticed it. However, he did not immediately call a timeout, because the player's status problem cannot be solved by tactics alone.

The only way is to change players, but Nelson dismissed the idea by scanning the sluggish players on the bench.

Frank was sitting at the banquet and happened to notice Nelson's gaze. Frank, who wanted to talk to Nelson, couldn't help but yawned. His physique was no better than these guys playing in the NBA. He felt very tired after exerting himself. .

Nelson's gaze made him immediately realize that something was wrong. Frank quickly looked around and found the mental problems of the players. He shuddered suddenly, obviously thinking of something. For a while, his heart was sweating coldly, thinking, what the fuck, I should not get into trouble, right?
Recalling the party last night, Frank spent money to directly drag the team members to the strip club to have a good celebration, and earnestly spurred the artists in the club. Because of the boss's treat, everyone had a great time.

Frank, who didn't think there was anything wrong at first, finally came to his senses at this time. He was so scared that he didn't dare to look directly at Nelson, and quickly turned his eyes on the court.

But the erratic look in his eyes reveals Frank's inner unrest at this moment.

The situation on the court was just as Nelson thought. No matter how active Malone was, he still couldn't stop the team from slowly falling into a disadvantage. When it entered the substitution stage, the score was 20:14, and the Warriors fell behind by 6 points.

Among them, Ma Long scored 8 points and 4 rebounds alone. Li Weisi secretly completed a layup while watching and scored 2 points.

When Ma Long was replaced, his face was livid and he was sweating profusely. At this time, he had a situation where he seemed to be back to fighting alone when he was young.

Nelson's face was also not good. When he changed the rotation, he left Mullin on the court to lead the bench, but he never thought that Mullin's state was particularly bad tonight. He only scored 7 points at this time with 1 of 2 .

And the performance of the substitutes is also not good, like sleepwalking on the court, playing lazily, unable to move their legs or keep up.

In the last 2 minutes of the first quarter, the Nuggets played an 8-0 spurt. When the first quarter ended, the score was already 14 points apart. All the efforts Malone had made before were all in vain. .
