Soul of the Golden State

Chapter 557 Have Confidence
No one expected that the first game between the Lakers and the Warriors would be like this,

It can be said that this is an atypical game. The scores of the two teams have just passed [-]. The whole game is full of confrontation, defense, and iron fighting. It does not look like a game between two offensive teams.

However, despite this, the whole game was reversed continuously, but in the end Li Weisi's great reputation was achieved.

In fact, if it weren't for the final lore, Li Weisi would probably have been called into a meeting for this game, and maybe even be held to go to work in an electronics factory.

Of course, this is a bit too much. After all, although Li Weisi's statistics are not good, they are not satisfactory. He scored 24 points and 7 assists. It may not be possible to get such data in one game, not to mention, this is already the highest score in the game.

But Li Weisi is not an ordinary player. As the recognized No.1 in the league at this stage, Li Weisi also accepts people's high standards and strict requirements when receiving people's applause.

For the Warriors, in addition to Li Weisi, Richmond scored 22 points, Lewis scored 12 points, Rodman 10 points, Hornacek 16 points, Petrovic 11 points, and the last round of the series, the performance is excellent Duckworth played poorly in this game and only scored 6 points.

For the Lakers, the highest scorer was actually Magic Johnson with the lowest shooting percentage. Johnson made 14 of 4 shots, but scored 22 points and 14 assists. The main reason for this was that Johnson made 15 free throws and made 14 of them. ball.

With such explosive power, people can't help but think of a certain bearded master Pengci, and at the same time feel the power of the home whistle and the star whistle.

In addition, the Lakers scored in double figures: Worthy 20 points, Scott 18 points, Green 16 points, Ulrich 11 points.

Regardless of the performance of the Lakers, with Li Weisi's lore, the Lakers suffered a defeat at home. Not only did they reverse their lead, but they also lost their home court advantage in the series.

Regarding the Lakers' first loss, a pessimistic mood began to spread among the Lakers fans. They were far more confident, but because of this loss, their confidence was shaken.

Even such a warrior can't win, how can the team win the series and win the championship?

Could it be that this star-studded Lakers team, which created history, will slowly decline over time, and will eventually be abandoned by the times?
Such emotions even affected the always confident Lakers mascot Nicholson. He even called Magic Johnson specifically to ask about it.

Although Johnson expressed confidence that the Lakers would win at the time, after hanging up the phone, he was silent for a long time. Obviously, the fierce inner struggle was not as calm as he said.

With such an uneasy mood, after a gap of one day, the two teams met again in the Great Western Forum. This time, the Lakers did not give the Warriors another chance. After four quarters of hard work, they finally defeated the Warriors 124:110 and successfully ended the series. The big score was tied at 1:1.

This victory is like a timely rain, nourishing the hearts of the Lakers fans, and finally relieved the anxiety of the fans.

The previous defeat turned out to be just an accident, a technical adjustment!In terms of strength, the Lakers are still the strongest, the Lakers champion!
Nicholson also gave Johnson a thumbs up after the game and praised him for "doing what he says!"

Voices like this are endless, but Johnson can't be happy. Although the Lakers seem to be beating the Warriors, Johnson doesn't think it's easy to win.

If it weren't for this game, I and Scott felt good, but the Warriors' feel continued to be sluggish, and it would be difficult for me to win.

Faced with such an unfavorable situation, the Warriors still chased the score to only 1 point in the third quarter. It can be seen that it is still very difficult for the Lakers to defeat this weakened Warriors.

It can be foreseen that this round of the series and the upcoming schedule will definitely not be easy to play. Any underestimation of the enemy will be fatal!

The winning Lakers still find the game difficult, and it is even more difficult for the losing Warriors.

On the second day after the team returned to Oakland, the coaching staff of the Warriors hurriedly held an emergency meeting to discuss the next game.

"Ah Q, how is Chris recovering?" assistant coach Stan Van Gundy asked trainer Bruce.

Bruce has a nickname, Mr. Q. Once Frank learned about it, he started calling him Ah Q. Originally, this was just a nickname for Frank, but later, like Stan Van Gundy and other good friends who played with Bruce, They all call him that.

Bruce is not very disgusted with this. After all, whether it is Mr. Q or Ah Q, it is just a nickname, but he does not understand why every time someone calls him this nickname, the boss Frank always Are you covering your mouth and laughing?
Is this nickname funny?

Bruce, who doesn't understand Lu Xun, obviously doesn't know where Frank's joke is. Regarding Van Gundy's question, Bruce showed a look of melancholy, shook his head, and said, "It will take time for Mullin to recover. With his current state, His role on the court is very limited, and I am worried about the risk of re-injury, my suggestion is to delay his playing time as much as possible."

During this period, Bruce did not go to Los Angeles with the team to accompany Li Weisi for training, but stayed in Oakland and was loaned by Li Weisi to Mullin for recovery training.

Therefore, for Mullin's recovery, Bruce has the most say.

However, in the face of the bad news brought by Bruce, everyone was obviously a little discouraged. After all, there is such a powerful star for the team, but he can't play and can't solve the team's current dilemma. In this case, it is not difficult to be a little impatient understand.

"At this time, stop thinking about Chris and focus on the current lineup!" Nelson also expressed his opinion at this time.

However, Nelson's words made all the assistant coaches fall into silence. Obviously, everyone has no good solution, and if there is any, they will not distract Mullin.

"I think, are you paying too much attention to the Lakers? We are now 1:1 against the Lakers, and it's not like we're behind by a big score. Why are you so worried?" Frank, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said.

Frank had nothing to do today. When he heard that the coaching staff was having a meeting, he ran over to attend the meeting as his assistant coach.

No one would object to the fact that the boss came to attend the meeting. After all, opposing the boss meant opposing one's own job.
"It is an indisputable fact that we lost by a big score in the second game. That is to say, once the Lakers feel good, it is very difficult for us to have a chance to beat the Lakers!" Jeff Van Gundy was afraid that Frank would not understand the reason, so he quickly explained to Frank road.

"But isn't that because of our poor touch? I believe that the state of the Warriors players will not always be so bad! You guys! You overestimated the Lakers and underestimated your teammates. I think you should treat them and Li Weisi, Have faith!"
