Soul of the Golden State

Chapter 556
Although Li Weisi relied on a series of efforts such as breakthroughs to create kills, the Warriors scored higher in the third quarter than in the second quarter.

But it still failed to prevent the Lakers from pulling the score apart. In this quarter, the Lakers scored 33 points in a single quarter, leading the Warriors by 84 points 78:6.

Although the point difference of 6 points is not too big, for the Warriors, all members feel bad, and this point difference is really hard to catch up for a while.

In this case, Nelson put Richmond on the court as soon as the fourth quarter opened.

The reason why Richmond was not allowed to rest was because Richmond received his fourth personal foul in the third quarter and had to leave the court early to rest.

Fortunately, Richmond's foul control in the third quarter was pretty good. He didn't commit the foul until the middle of the third quarter. At that time, there was not much time before he was going to be replaced for a rest. Otherwise, the Warriors might fall behind by points. Poor, it will be far more than 6 points.

However, although he appeared in the fourth quarter, his state did not improve much. At this time, the core of the Warriors' offense is still Hornacek.

It has to be said that Hornacek was the hero tonight when the whole team felt extremely poor. He played well in the first half, but at the end of the third quarter, he scored 5 points in a row to help the team stabilize out of the situation.

In the fourth quarter, Hornacek even made shots from inside and outside. Facing the aggressive rotation lineup of the Lakers, he did not fall behind at all. This also made the Lakers want to take advantage of Li Weisi's absence. bankruptcy.

When the other starters of the Warriors gradually came back, the Warriors not only did not get widened, but narrowed the difference to 3 points.

Li Weisi, who returned to the field, seemed to have recovered. When he came back, facing Cooper's defense, Li Weisi used a signature step-back three-pointer to directly tie the score.

Such a goal shocked the Lakers coach Riley into a cold sweat, and he called a timeout directly. You must know that the Warriors had just called a timeout before this.

What should be arranged has already been arranged during the timeout, and calling a timeout at this time is somewhat wasteful.

Of course, it's not that Riley is a bit nervous, but that at the most critical moment of the game, Li Weisi's three-pointer is probably a bad signal, which means that Li Weisi's touch has recovered, and the game will become more difficult.

Therefore, he needs to call this timeout. On the one hand, he wants to tell the players again. On the other hand, he also hopes to interrupt Li Weisi's improvement. Although he also knows that this possibility is very low, it is worth his gamble. Bundle.

Facts have proved that Riley's gamble seems to have some effect. After returning from the timeout, Li Weisi's three-pointer seemed to be a flash in the pan. The Warriors had two consecutive offensive rounds, and Li Weisi did not try another three-pointer.

However, although Li Weisi stopped shooting three-pointers and the Warriors' shooting percentage seemed to go back, the Lakers were not much better.

If in the first half, the low shooting percentage of the Lakers was mainly concentrated on Johnson and Worthy, then at this time, the whole team seemed to be cut off, and they couldn't make any shots. An important reason for being evened out by the Warriors in the fourth quarter.

Moreover, unlike before, they were able to score points through breakthroughs and other methods. Although their physical strength has declined, the threat of breakthroughs has dropped significantly at this time.

In this game, the Lakers' ultimate 7-man rotation, the hidden dangers are highlighted at this time, all players are struggling with their own willpower.

In this way, the whole game seemed to have returned to the starting point, back to the iron fight in the second quarter, and as time went by, the game was gradually coming to an end.

As Worthy missed a layup and Rodman received the rebound, the audience at the scene raised their hearts to their throats, because there were 18 seconds left before the end of the game, and the score of the two teams was 102:102 Ping, that is to say, the Warriors have the last chance to attack.

This time, the Warriors did not call a timeout, but gave full play to Li Weisi's organizational skills to minimize various risks.

After the Lakers saw this situation, they immediately understood what the Warriors were thinking. Except for Scott leading the defense against Li Weisi, the others quickly retreated to their own half to prevent the Warriors from fast break.

Li Weisi turned a blind eye to this. After receiving the pass from Rodman, he slowly led the ball across the half court, not in a hurry.

This last chance to attack, even if you don't make it, can't leave the opponent with the slightest time.

After all, if the goal is not scored, at least there is still overtime to play. If the opponent is left with time, even if it is only a few seconds, the outcome of the game will be handed over to others.

And he, Li Weisi, is obviously a person who is more willing to control the game.

Scott's defense of Li Weisi was not strict. He neither gave Li Weisi physical contact nor blocked Li Weisi's way. Nothing works.

Of course, Li Weisi wants to delay more than he does now.

After halftime, Li Weisi stopped and stood where he was, dribbling the ball while waiting for the passage of time.

9 seconds... 8 seconds...

Finally, when the number displayed on the timer reached "7", Li Weisi finally started to act.

The moment Li Weisi started, all the hairs on Scott's body stood on end, and his attention became extremely concentrated.

And this also comes at a price, that is, if there is a slight disturbance, there will be an immediate reaction, and often an overreaction.

Just like now, Li Weisi, who was dribbling, just looked at the basket at this time, and at the same time, the dribbler began to retract into the inside of the body. After seeing this, Scott jumped up immediately to block the shot.

You know, Li Weisi's position at this time is obviously more than one meter away from the three-point line.

Sure enough, Li Weisi's move was just a fake act of "worshiping Buddha". Even Li Weisi himself didn't expect such a good effect. After all, his hit rate tonight was really not very good.

It's a pity that Li Weisi's achievements in the past are too dazzling and his reputation is too loud, and Scott knows Li Weisi very well, so he was fooled by Li Weisi.

When he jumped up, he immediately regretted it, but it was too late.

After Li Weisi tricked Scott, he immediately broke through from Scott's left side and reached the three-point line.

As usual, Li Weisi would have shot from outside the three-point line, but tonight, he is not sure about his three-pointers, so he wants to get closer to the basket.

Seeing this, Green rushed to make up for the defense. Before Green arrived, Li Weisi directly chose to shoot arrows on horseback near the free throw line.

The basketball stubbornly crossed Green's fingertips, drew a parabola in the air, and then got into the basket. At the same time, the timing light was on at the same time. Li Weisi didn't give his opponent a moment of time and beat the buzzer.
