Soul of the Golden State

Chapter 618 West Second
The 10-point lead was eroded to only 1 point in the final quarter. For the Sonics, this situation can already be called precarious.

At this critical juncture, someone in the Supersonics must stand up to stop the Warriors from chasing points. However, the previous Supersonics have always lacked such a star who can make the final decision, but tonight, they seem to have it.

Facing Richmond with the ball, Payton was dribbling the ball in his hand, his eyes were looking around, and his mouth was not idle, "You can't guard me! Come for West!"

Richmond didn't bother to pay attention to the rookie in front of him!There are so many people who want to challenge Li Weisi, who are you!

Seeing that the verbal offensive was useless, Payton also changed his mind, and immediately turned around and hit Richmond with his back.

Payton is 193cm tall, and he is definitely a big man among point guards, but he still can't please Richmond, especially when he was a rookie, he was still very thin and not as strong as Richmond.

Therefore, it is not easy to get a good position for post-ups, but because of the failure of a previous offensive tactic, the offensive time is running out, which means that Payton has to shoot this ball.

So, Payton made up his mind and hit Richmond twice with his back to the left, but Richmond, worthy of his nickname of "The Rock", didn't move at all, so Payton immediately turned right and forced a shot.

Payton had a hard time shooting this ball, because he didn't completely get rid of Richmond, and his shot was on the verge of being blocked by Richmond at any time.

Payton raised the arc and made the shot with difficulty before being completely blocked by Richmond. Then he lost his center of gravity and fell to the ground, but even if he fell to the ground, his eyes kept staring at the basket, wanting to make the first shot. See results in no time.

The result did not disappoint him. After the basketball hit the backboard, it bounced into the basket.

Seeing the goal, Payton got up from the ground and roared fiercely. All the unwillingness disappeared at this moment.

Payton was not the only one who was excited. Kidd, who was sitting off the court, saw Payton hit the ball and stood up from the bench again excitedly. He was so happy for Payton that he forgot that he was Support the Warriors.

At this moment, looking at Payton's back, the whole body exudes pride, toughness, big heart and other temperaments. Kidd saw it one by one, which made Kidd's blood boil, and he wished to grow up immediately and enter the NBA with them. Taiwan athletics.

Payton's fairy ball can be regarded as alleviating the situation of the supersonic crisis, but this is only alleviating it.

Then it was the Warriors' turn to attack. Facing Payton's defense, Li Weisi did not single him this time, but used the pick-and-roll to successfully complete the defense change.

Supersonic center Michael Cage is only 206cm tall. Unlike the big centers of this era who are often over 210cm, his moving speed is among the best among centers.

However, this is the same for Li Weisi, no matter whether you are 206 or 216, with me, you only get military training!

After several sharp consecutive changes of direction, Cage stumbled under his feet. In the end, Li Weisi broke through again and took a step back. Cage was completely unsteady and fell to the ground.

Due to the current narrowing of the three-point line, Li Weisi stood one step away from the three-point line at this time. However, Li Weisi did not care at all. For him, what is the difference between one step and two steps for a three-pointer?
However, because of the large change of direction just now, Li Weisi felt that his shoulders were a little tight, which was not conducive to shooting. At this time, the others were still some distance away from him, and there was plenty of time.

So Li Weisi shook his shoulders calmly first, then made the adjustments before Payton's assistance arrived, and shot easily.

Needless to say, the result of this adjusted shot was a steady hit.

But in the eyes of fans, the meaning is completely different.

After shaking the enemy down, he had to shake his shoulders to provoke the opponent first. When did Li Weisi, an honest person, learn to be bad?
However, I like it!

For a moment, the entire Oracle Arena erupted into violent cheers, and everyone shouted "MVP!"

Some people are happy and others are angry. Peyton, who failed to cover Li Weisi, was almost outraged. He didn't expect Li Weisi to humiliate himself like this. It's too much!
Seeing being chased down to 1 point, Payton turned his anger into strength and used it in the next offensive round.

It's just that qiqiu is limited after all, and it is called qiqiu because of its scarcity.

Therefore, as Payton's layup was blocked by Rodman, the Sonics' offense ended in failure. Not only that, the Warriors also got a chance to counterattack.

Rodman's passing ability has always been underestimated, especially a quarterback pass like this, which is at the top of the league in terms of timing, strength, and accuracy.

In the past, he would look for Li Weisi immediately, but this time, Li Weisi did not respond in the backcourt, but rushed forward at the right time.

The stubborn Rodman still looked for Li Weisi. He directed a long pass through the audience and found Li Weisi who had already come to the frontcourt.

McDaniel is chasing hard behind him, intending to block the block from behind when Li Weisi lays up.

But after catching the ball, Li Weisi didn't take a step. He jumped up and faced McDaniel's block. He suddenly turned into a layup in the air and passed the ball behind his head, and directly distributed the ball to the bottom corner.

At this time, Mu Lin had already been waiting in the bottom corner. After receiving the pass from Li Weisi, there was no one three meters in front of him, so he took a calm shot and hit a three-pointer.

Finally, 4 minutes and 17 seconds before the end of the game, the Warriors completed the lead with 106:104.

This overtake is equivalent to the final death penalty for the Sonics, and the Sonics have never been able to turn the score back since then.

The Warriors firmly maintained their lead until the end. Although the Sonics tried every means to catch up with the score, Li Weisi and Mullin could always hit shots at the most critical moments.

In this way, when the time returned to zero and the score was fixed at 117:112, the Warriors completed the reversal. Although the process was difficult, they still won two consecutive victories and ended the Supersonics' three-game winning streak.

In this game, Li Weisi and Mu Lin scored 27 points one after another, Li Weisi also had 12 assists, and 6 players in the team scored in double figures.

For the Sonics, McDaniel had 26 points and Payton had 24 points and 9 assists. In addition, only Streiter and Kemp scored in double figures.

However, even so, people still saw Payton's potential in this game.

After the game, Kidd on the sidelines has been applauding Payton, cheering for Payton, although in exchange for a middle finger greeting from Payton.

In any case, the game is over, and after this campaign, the Warriors also held the second place in the Western Conference with a record of 5 wins and 1 loss, while the surprising Trail Blazers ranked first.
