Soul of the Golden State

Chapter 522
On March 3, the second day after the game between the Warriors and the Spurs, the two teams met again in San Antonio. This time Robinson scored 2 points and 2 rebounds, leading the Spurs to avenge the Warriors 41:17.

Although in this game, Li Weisi scored 30 points and 18 assists, but at the last moment, he failed to hit a key goal and unfortunately lost.

Not only that, but in this game, Curry accidentally sprained his wrist in the third quarter and successfully joined the injured list.

Fortunately, the injury is not serious, and it is expected to be absent for about two weeks, which is acceptable.

It's just that, the Warriors have one less player in the lineup.

However, although the Warriors' injury wave still hasn't passed, it didn't stop them from winning. On the 3rd, they faced the Rockets back to back in the away game. They thought it would be a fierce battle. Unexpectedly, the Warriors won 129:109 , Li Weisi even left work early after a long absence.

For the Rockets this season, it is really a bit bad. Although the team lineup looks good, with the core star Olajuwon in charge, and many good players in charge, the team's record is just not good.

Up to now, they are only 26 wins and 31 losses, ranking eighth in the West, and after this loss to the Warriors, they dropped to ninth, which cast a shadow over their playoff prospects.

After that, the Warriors defeated the Hornets and Cavaliers one after another, achieving a wave of three consecutive victories, but then lost to the Lakers.

This season, the Lakers can be said to be going smoothly. Taking advantage of the injuries of the number one opponent, the Warriors, they firmly maintain the number one throne in the league, and after defeating the Warriors, they have extended the number of wins to 3.

In today's second half of the regular season, every game is crucial, and three wins is already a considerable lead.

However, having said that, for the Warriors to be able to lead the team to achieve such results in such a difficult situation, even Magic Johnson has to sigh that he is indeed not as good as Li Weisi.

As we all know, magicians have always been good at dealing with people, and they have never been stingy with their praise, especially Michael Jordan.

But for Li Weisi, although the magician also praised him, he never praised Li Weisi like he praised Jordan.

This is because, unlike Jordan, who is a shooting guard, Li Weisi is a point guard, and can be said to be the most direct competitor with Magic Johnson.

As a superstar, the magician looks easy-going on the surface, but he also has his pride, and he doesn't want to admit that he is inferior to Li Weisi.

However, after the game ended, the magician actually publicly stated to the media that he was not as good as Li Weisi after winning the game. I am afraid that only he himself knows his inner thoughts.

After losing to the Lakers, the Warriors started a new round of winning streak, defeating the Kings, Clippers, Trail Blazers, Supersonics and Timberwolves successively.

Among them, especially in this game against the Trail Blazers, facing the Trail Blazers whose record was clinging to him, Li Weisi faced Terry Porter's protection and scored 50 points again, helping the team to 121: 108 beat the opponent.

This victory is very important for the Warriors, which is equivalent to one game worth two games.

Before this battle, the Trail Blazers were only one game away from the Warriors. Once the two teams lose, the two teams will tie again. This field established a good lead for the increasingly fierce competition in the ranking battle.

However, this wave of winning streak did not make the Warriors fans happy for too long, because Lewis inadvertently sprained his ankle in the game against the Timberwolves again, which left a serious vacancy in the position of the Warriors small forward. The comeback Curry or Petrovic can only temporarily replace the small forward on the bench, but in the starting lineup, it will obviously become a serious loophole.

Not only that, the details of the injuries of Mullin and Malone reported later, due to the long-term recovery from the injuries, it has been confirmed that they will miss all the regular seasons. As for whether they can play in the playoffs, the specific development of the injuries needs to be observed .

As soon as this report came out, for the team that was aiming to win the championship, even though they said it was a pity and wished them a speedy recovery, they might still be as happy as eating honey shit in their hearts, and they were short of setting off firecrackers to celebrate.

No way, it's not up to them to be unhappy.

After all, even if the two come back in the playoffs, they have been absent from the game for nearly a year. It will always take a process of adaptation to return to the game, but obviously the fierce playoffs will not give them this opportunity. Their worst fears have also been completely eliminated.

Therefore, these strong teams that have been planning for a season are all gearing up, looking forward to the playoffs coming soon!
Compared with other teams, the Warriors are not worried about the injuries of the two at this time, but are worried about how the Warriors will line up their next starting lineup.

Finally, on March 3, when they played against the Jazz at home, Nelson sent a new starting lineup, namely: Li Weisi, Richmond, Rodman, Schramf and Divac.

That's right, this time Nelson not only mentioned Schramf as the starter, but also put the black, big and hard Duckworth on the bench, and used the white, thin and soft Divac to play. starter.

Is Nelson not going to ask for an insider?
You know, among the Jazz's insiders, there is Karl Malone, who currently ranks third in the league's scoring list!Doesn't this mean that Malone is madly outputting against the Warriors inside?
However, it is clear that the fans are overthinking. Of course, Nelson has also considered the issues that the fans can consider. In this case, Nelson's solution is to close the door and let Rodman go!
Don't look at Rodman's current position as a small forward, but in defense, he is still facing his beloved Malone. As for Schrempf, he is defending the Jazz's small forward Bob Hansen.

On offense, the Warriors' formation is even more magical, because the Warriors' interior is empty.

After halftime, Li Weisi handed the ball to Divac who came to the top of the arc. At this time, Rodman and Schramf stood at the two bottom corners. Richmond Also dangling outside the 45-degree three-point line on the weak side, there is not a single Warriors player within the entire three-point line.

Poor Mark Eaton stood at the free throw line and neither made nor retreated, a little at a loss.

When Li Weisi took Stockton away, Divac saw that "Mammoth" was a little hesitant, and he directly chose to shoot a three-pointer at the top of the arc.

Seeing Divac's move, Eaton quickly reached out to block the shot, but it was too late, so he could only turn around and prepare to grab a rebound.

However, just in time to see the basketball fall steadily into the basket and hit a three-pointer!

And this is one of the reasons why Nelson wants to send Divac to start!
