Soul of the Golden State

Chapter 663
For a long time, the NBA has always been coveted for the basketball city of Indiana.

As the most well-known professional team in Indiana, the Pacers were a veritable strong team during the ABA period. They have made five finals in eight years and won two ABA championships.

It's a pity that after entering the NBA, the team's record fell directly from the sky to the ground, and it never got up again.

For ten years, not to mention the championship, even the playoffs, there are only a handful of them.

However, all this has finally changed in the past two years.

With the growth of a group of young players such as Reggie Miller, Chuck Person, Rick Smith, and the addition of new members represented by Schramf, the strength of the Pacers has been significantly improved. Improvement, this season is currently ranked seventh in the Eastern Conference, beating the Knicks and second only to the Eagles.

Although such a record seems to be far from the championship, they are full of confidence and believe that they will not be worse than anyone else!As long as this momentum is maintained, the future is bright.

Facing the strong enemy Warriors tonight, they showed amazing resilience.

Throughout the game, the Warriors kept suppressing the Pacers, but the Pacers never gave up.

Finally, with 2.4 seconds left before the end of the game, Schramff received a pass from Vaughan Fleming and hit a priceless three-pointer from the bottom corner, miraculously tying the game and dragging the game Into overtime.

After joining the Pacers, Schramff did get more playing time than he did in the Warriors. Although he was still playing as a substitute most of the time, he was also the team's sixth man, and his status was different from that of the Warriors.

Of course, Schramf's performance is also worthy of his status as the team's sixth man. This season, his data has skyrocketed to 18.3 points and 8 rebounds. This data is far better than the starters of many teams.

This also made the Pacers, from the management to the fans, very satisfied with this signing, and they all thought that this person signed the right one, which was a great deal.

It is worthy of being produced by the Warriors, it must be a boutique!
In tonight's deciding game, Schramf was left on the court, and veteran Larsa Thompson was left on the bench.

After entering overtime, the Pacers played even more vigorously. Miller, Schrempf and Fleming hit three-pointers one after another, completely sealing the victory. They defeated the Warriors in overtime 127:120 and sent Gave the Warriors a two-game losing streak.

After losing to the Pacers, the Warriors finally returned home and took a breather.

On the 21st, they played against the Nuggets at home.

In fact, the Nuggets played very well at the beginning. They scored 47 points in the first quarter, and a few people made a lot of shots outside. It made the Warriors who scored 37 points fall behind by 10 points.

It has always been the Warriors who beat others like this. I didn't expect it to be the Warriors' turn today.

Fortunately, the Nuggets can't be so accurate all the time. If they are so accurate, they won't be reduced to the last place in the Western Conference.

From the beginning of the second quarter, the Warriors launched a counterattack, but the Nuggets' feel fell off a cliff, and the whole team fell into the iron fight, and this fight lasted three quarters, and each quarter could not even reach 25 points.

On the contrary, the Warriors scored more than 30 points in each quarter. As a result, the Warriors tied the score at the beginning of the third quarter, and it became bigger and bigger. In the end, the Warriors beat the Nuggets 136 points 116:20 at home. Points, finally ended the losing streak.

On the 23rd, the Warriors played against the Clippers at home again. Of course, there was no suspense. They defeated the Clippers 114:107 and achieved two consecutive victories.

Seeing the Warriors have won two consecutive victories, the whole team is not happy. After all, these two opponents are the bottom of the Western Conference. It is not decent to win, and it is shabby to lose.

The next game is the real test for them. On the 25th, the Warriors came to Detroit and will face the Pistons without Li Weisi.

Although there is no Li Weisi, the Warriors have inherited the fine tradition of Li Weisi's time, and entered the game slowly.

At the beginning of the game, the Pistons Aguirre, Dumars and Lambiel scored one after another, quickly opening the score with the Warriors.

In fact, in this game, the Pistons star Thomas also missed the game due to injury. Logically speaking, when both teams are disabled, the Warriors are the dominant side.

But the actual game is not a simple accumulation of players. There are too many factors that determine the outcome of the game. Obviously, the Warriors are not as good as the Pistons in this regard.

In short, the Warriors still haven't been able to get rid of Li Weisi's dependence.

At the end of the half, the Warriors had trailed the Pistons by as much as 42 points 64:22, and the entire second half was about to be reduced to garbage time.

Fortunately, after the start of the second half, the Warriors recovered their form and beat the Pistons 15:2 at the beginning of the game, stopping the Pistons.

Seeing the point difference shrink from 20 points to less than 10 points in just a few minutes, everyone panicked, and Chuck Daly was no exception.

Fortunately, the players of the Pistons are also rich in experience. Although Daly did not make a substitution, he still interrupted the offensive momentum of the Warriors through this timeout, stabilized the situation, and entered the fourth quarter with a 12-point lead. .

After entering the fourth quarter, the confrontation between the two sides became more intense.

The Warriors performed best tonight were Mullin and Malone. Richmond was producing, and he lost to Dumars on both offense and defense, and was completely outmatched.

However, the Warriors still relied on the performance of the other two giants to further narrow the point difference to only 5 points.

Faced with this situation, Aguirre finally showed his unique skills as a super scorer. Facing Mullin, he hit three goals in a row and successfully sealed the victory.

In the end, the Warriors lost to the Pistons 105:111 in the away game, and the two-game winning streak was ended again. This is their third loss after losing Li Weisi.

Although the Blazers have lost a lot recently, with the advantage of losing one game less, the Blazers still maintain the No. [-] position in the Western Conference.

The day after losing to the Pistons, the Warriors will feel Charlotte again against the Hornets.

Although it was a back-to-back away game, the Warriors continued their good form in the second half against the Pistons yesterday, bombing the Hornets' position as soon as they came up.

And Richmond, who had a weak hand in the last game, finally rose again in this game, scoring 50 points on 32% shooting.

In addition, Mullin also scored 33 points and 7 assists. With the double 20+ of the two, the Warriors finally succeeded in defeating the Hornets 117:94, and finally completed the difficult situation of the team when Li Weisi was away.

Fortunately, all this will come to an end. Since Li Weisi's ankle injury is the same as the expected recovery time, Li Weisi finally made a successful comeback before the start of the next game.

Now, the Warriors finally got through this short and long predicament.
