Soul of the Golden State

Chapter 722 Warm-up game
Compared with the dream team, college players do not have such problems,

They came to San Diego in advance and have been training for many days, and the running-in between them has improved a lot. More importantly, they have a powerful enemy that can make them work together.

After the start, the best performer was Li Weisi's opponent, Hurley.

Although Li Weisi played against Hurley at the beginning, on the offensive end, Hurley's organizational ability completely blended the college team together.

Although Hurley is mediocre and famous in later generations, this is not because of his strength, but because after being selected by the Kings with the seventh overall pick in 93, he suffered a car accident in December of the same year .

At that time, he was driving a truck at a high speed on a remote and narrow road near the Arco Arena, home of the Kings. As a result, he collided with a car and was thrown out of the car because he was not wearing a seat belt. and punctured a lung by shattered glass.

Although he recovered later, his lungs left serious sequelae, which even affected his breathing. As a result, not only his physical fitness declined, he was also afraid of confrontation, and he retired in a hurry in 98.

Although God is jealous of talents, he is still the one called by the old coach K: "the smartest player I have ever coached".

Because he always took his right foot into consideration, Li Weisi's defense, which was not rich at all, was made worse by Hurley's breakthroughs again and again, and it was about to become the biggest loophole.

Seeing his favorite general playing awkwardly, Nelson certainly would not sit idly by. After playing for just over three minutes, Nelson began to wave to the bench.

"Charles, Clyde, you are ready to play!"

At this time, the substitutes of the Dream Team were sitting on the sidelines, chatting and laughing, and didn't care much about the score on the court.

In their view, even though the team is already behind in the score, it is not a big deal. When they really get serious on their side, overtaking the score is just a matter of minutes.

When the coach called them, Barkley and Drexler immediately stood up and signaled to Nelson that they could play at any time.

Soon after another pass error by the Dream Team, Nelson replaced Li Weisi and Bird and brought Barkley and Drexler on.

"Sorry, Nelly!" Li Weisi was a little frustrated after the game, after all, he was not satisfied with his performance.

"It's okay, take your time and recover slowly." Nelson did not feel dissatisfied at all, but comforted Li Weisi amiably.

With the replacement of two sick patients and the replacement of two fresh troops, it stands to reason that the dream team should play hard and prepare to use a wave of flow to take away the game.

But what people didn't expect was that the next dream team's offense still didn't improve. Everyone was hesitant to hold the ball, and it seemed that they wanted to prevent their playing style from affecting other teammates as much as possible.

However, the result of this is that they don't play as a whole at all.

On the other hand, the college students played more actively, especially Hurley. After Li Weisi was replaced, the person responsible for defending him became Magic Johnson.

However, as we all know, Johnson has always been unable to defend against speed-type defenders. Therefore, when he faced Hurley who was constantly breaking through, he was completely unable to defend.

It's a pity that this game was not made public, otherwise Hurley's reputation would have been heard all over the world by defeating the first and second point guards in history in just one game.

After that, whether it was the dream team or the college team, they all made substitutions one after another.

The players on the Dream Team seemed to be polite to each other, but on the College team, the two pitchers who were replaced, Jamal Mashburn and Alan Houston, performed at a super level, almost without exception. false hair.

As a result, the point difference between the two teams widened. At the end of the first half, the score had reached 56:38.

Although the half-time point difference has already reached 20 points, during the intermission, Nelson did not say a word to the players, and was even discussing with the players the list of players for the second half. The 12 players all played for a while today.

With such an out-of-the-ordinary coach, it is almost impossible for the Dream Team to adjust, so that Jordan, who has always been very competitive, couldn't help questioning Nelson: "In this case, do we need to change? "

However, Nelson made Jordan speechless with one sentence, "You are all famous players for a long time, shouldn't you beat your opponent if you play five people? Are you doubting the strength of your teammates?"

Although everyone knew that Nelson's words were wrong, they couldn't say anything to refute them. After all, no one would admit that their teammates were not the strongest in the world, especially when they were against a group of college students.

Although Nelson did not provide any favorable help for the team's recovery during the intermission, but in the second half, the Dream Team still showed their superior strength.

Li Weisi, who returned to the game, scored an ultra-long three-pointer, which kicked off the dream team. Immediately afterwards, Jordan made a breakthrough dunk and the Magician made an alley-oop. It seemed that the stars were gradually adapting to the game and recovering.

Seeing this situation, Nelson, their coach, was not as happy as the players sitting on the bench. On the contrary, seeing his serious expression at this time, those who didn't know thought that their team was still at a disadvantage!
In fact, as you can see, Nelson is indeed worried about the team, but this team is not the dream team, but the opposite college team.

He silently cheered for the college team in his heart, "We must hold on!"

However, it is really difficult for the college team to withstand Li Weisi and Jordan's pursuit of points.

Seeing that the dream team was chasing the score closer and closer, and the point difference had reached about 10 points, Nelson obviously felt that he needed to do something, so he made a decisive substitution, replacing both Jordan and Li Weisi.

At this time, as long as they are not fools, they all know which wave Nelson is in, even if Nelson keeps saying that he wants to let Jordan and Li Weisi rest and let others find their status.

But everyone is not stupid, how could they fail to see Nelson's intentions.

However, as Nelson said during the intermission, the dream team should be able to win with just five players. It makes no sense to use Magic Johnson, Drexler, Pippen, Malone and Ewing. This lineup can't beat the opponent.

Come on, isn't this lineup gorgeous enough?The dynasty team that is well placed in the NBA, do you have the nerve to say that you still need the help of the coach?
However, the previous momentum of chasing points was interrupted because of this substitution, and the college team also recovered from the passive situation of being chasing points just now.

Now, it becomes more difficult for the dream team to continue chasing points in the following games.
