Soul of the Golden State

Chapter 521: Spurs Assistant Coach
After being suspended for one game, Rodman finally ushered in a comeback. Although he said that he was wronged in front of the media after the game, not many people believed that he was innocent.

After all, everyone is clear about Rodman's behavior. If he really doesn't cause trouble, then he is not Rodman.

In the first game of their comeback, the Warriors played away against the Sonics.

Since the Supersonics' leader Ellis and the second leader McDaniel were both absent due to injuries, the brave soldiers defeated the Supersonics 112:101 in this game without bloodshed.

After two days of rest, the Warriors ushered in another challenge from the Spurs at home.

To say that the most amazing team this season is the Spurs.

Currently, the Spurs rank fourth in the Western Conference with a record of 37 wins and 17 losses. You must know that this record at this stage has surpassed the single-season results for four consecutive seasons since the loss of "Iceman" George Gervin.

Such great progress has led to the current rookie David Robinson ranking No.6 on the MVP list. Such an achievement can already be compared to Jordan and Li Weisi.

In their rookie seasons, Jordan and Li Weisi both ranked sixth on the MVP list.

Because Robinson is a left-handed shooting center, Duckworth suffered a lot in defense. Even though this is his second time facing the Spurs, he still feels uncomfortable.

Not only that, the inside combination composed of Robinson and Cummings defeated the Warriors inside in rebounding.

The two grabbed 41 rebounds together, while the Warriors only had 33. Among them, Rodman grabbed 22 rebounds alone.

In this situation where the inside offense is not dominant and the rebounds cannot be kept, the Warriors played very hard. Until the last minute of the game, the Warriors were still 1 points behind.

Seeing this situation, Li Weisi directly chose a three-point shot just after halftime even though he knew that the rebounds at the basket were not dominant.

Facing the defense of the second-year rookie Rod Strickland, who had just been traded by the Spurs from the Knicks, the basketball hit the net and the point difference was narrowed to 1 point.

Oh, by the way, let me say one more thing here. This Strickland has a kid named Drederick Owen, and his son is named Kyrie Irving. Strickland has naturally become Kyrie Owen. Owen's godfather.

It just seems that this Strickland is quite normal. He didn't burn sage before the game, and he didn't miss the game for no reason. I just don't know if he believes that the earth is flat.

This shot by Li Weisi was very tough, and it was also quite important. It immediately made the Spurs panic. Larry Brown even called a timeout for this to arrange the final attack.

However, although Brown is a famous coach, the offensive tactics deployed in this timeout are quite simple, which is to create space for Robinson, and Robinson will end the game.

This made a Spurs assistant coach with a long chin frowned a little. In his opinion, this timeout was completely unnecessary, and it might make it difficult to serve the sideline ball.

"Greg, what do you think?" After completing the tactical arrangement, Brown put away the tactical board, looked at the frowning assistant coach, and asked.

"No, it's nothing! I was just thinking for a while when the Warriors were attacking, how should we defend in the face of a misplaced attack!" The Serbian assistant coach did not express any dissatisfaction, but mentioned another key issue.

"Let's talk about winning this round first!" Brown did not directly answer the assistant's words.

Taking advantage of Brown not caring, Robinson sneaked up to the assistant coach before the game and whispered: "Don't care, I know what you mean!"

When the teaching assistant heard Robinson's words, he glanced at Robinson in surprise, and then said with a smile, "You're so smart! David!"

The teaching assistant is right. Although Robinson is black, he not only has well-developed limbs, but also has a well-developed brain. His SAT entrance test score exceeded 1300 points. Sachs, etc., don't be too omnipotent.

It is precisely because there are too many distractions off the court that Brown has a headache about it, and the relationship between the two has always been lukewarm. Thanks to the assistant coach in front of him as a lubricant, this makes the team coach and the head star No conflict broke out.

And this teaching assistant, who is good at dealing with academic bullies, also has a military background with Robinson, so the communication between the two is easier.

"No, I'm far behind you, Mr. Popovich!" Robinson smiled at the assistant.

Back in the game, Robinson fulfilled his promise to Popovich. Faced with the two-person attack of Duckworth and Rodman on the inside, Robinson turned around and made a jumper and hit this priceless goal.

In this way, the point difference was expanded to 3 points, and there are still 6.4 seconds left in the current time, and the Warriors can only tie the score with 3 points.

Not only that, but what's more difficult is that in this case, the Warriors have no timeout.

Faced with such a situation, Li Weisi directly received the ball from the backcourt, and in an instant, quickly broke through the pincer attack of Scrittland and Elliott, broke through from the middle of the two and dribbled the ball to the frontcourt. At this time, the time was less than 3 Seconds.

One step away from the three-point line, Li Weisi directly chose to shoot and completed the shot before Scritland arrived.

My three-point arrow, the flames of hell!
The light is on, the whistle is on and the ball is in!

With this magical three-pointer, Li Weisi dragged the score into overtime.

In the overtime game, the Warriors seemed to be excited because of Li Weisi's magical three-pointer, but they blossomed more in the overtime game and smashed the Spurs in one fell swoop.

In only 5 minutes of overtime, the Warriors scored 19 points. Those who didn't know thought the Spurs were defenseless!
Conscience of heaven and earth, this is the Spurs of Larry Brown who advocates "defense first". The average conceded points per game is only 102.4 and ranks third. If such a team has a poor defense, there will be no good defensive team.

But such a good defense, under the organization of Li Weisi, is full of flaws everywhere, making the Spurs look at one thing and lose another, and it is impossible to defend against it. This also makes Popovich, who has always believed that Brown is correct, shaken in his heart at this time. Thinking, if I coach a team, how can I defend such a warrior?

In this way, relying on a wave of overtime, the Warriors finally defeated the Spurs 144:135, making Robinson's 38 points and 17 rebounds an empty cut.

Li Weisi scored 36 points and 16 assists in the game. Under his organization, 7 members of the team scored in double figures. They really used offense and defeated the Spurs.
