Soul of the Golden State

Chapter 752

"Didi..." The harsh whistle sounded again.

"Fxxk!" O'Neill furiously cursed out words that the TV station could not broadcast.

Obviously he caused Rodman's foul, but he didn't have the slightest joy, because he was about to go to the free throw line again.

He had already made 10 free throws in the entire first quarter, almost throwing himself up, but what made him even more embarrassed was that he only made 2 free throws.

It can be said that Nelson's shark-slashing tactic is quite effective. Before using it, the team was behind in the score, but after using it, it has already overtaken by 28 points at 20:8.

The most disgusting thing about this tactic is actually not O'Neal's helplessness, but the fact that the entire Magic's offense has been cut into pieces. Hardaway and Davis, whose hands were quite hot before, also feel cold at this time. After all I haven't touched the ball for many rounds.

However, with the replacement of O'Neal, this situation finally came to an end, and the game returned to the normal track. With the Magic playing.

As a newly promoted team, the Magic team is not strong in itself. It is not easy to assemble a strong starting lineup. Therefore, even if Hardaway is playing with a rotation lineup, the score is still unavoidable. Zoom out further.

The Warriors have now completed the personnel update of the rotation lineup. Whether the overall situation shown by Cassel on the bench is good, or the grasp of opportunities, and even the post-up technique is better than the starter Li Weisi. All these make the fans They are full of praise.

It can be said that, apart from being ugly, Cassel has almost no shortcomings. (Alien: Is it polite for you to say that?)

In addition, Sprewell also gave the Warriors management, coaching staff and fans a great surprise. No one expected that such an ordinary rookie would replace Curry in the second year. Position, successfully squeezed into the rotation lineup.

Coupled with Brian Shaw, Robert Horry and PJ Brown, the Warriors' bench strength has returned to the league's first position.

Fans across the league are used to this, and they can only feel that the management of the Warriors has opened their eyes, and anyone who goes to the Warriors can play.

As the No. [-] Magic team in the Eastern Conference, it is of course impossible to let the Warriors beat them like this. They also have to struggle and resist.

With the midfield still trailing by more than ten points, they launched a counterattack in the third quarter, and O'Neal once again showed his normal level.

Under his leadership, the Magic played a wave of 12:2 highs and successfully narrowed the point difference to only 2 points.

However, in the fourth quarter, Li Weisi stood up again. This is how many times he has stood up in the final quarter this season and dominated the final quarter.

This time was no exception. Although O'Neal's dominance was amazing, Li Weisi still scored 11 points in a row to help the team beat the Magic 117:106.

In the whole game, Li Weisi scored 35 points and 14 assists, another standard large double-double.

However, although Li Weisi performed quite well, he was not the person who scored the most points tonight. The highest scorer in the game was O'Neal. He scored 37 points, 12 rebounds and 5 assists, but only made 16 of 5 free throws. The hit rate is over [-]%.

After the game, O'Neal was full of complaints about Nelson. When the two shook hands, O'Neal even said bluntly: "I hate you, Nellie!"

"Hahaha, believe me, Shaq, it is because of my tactic that it proves your strength even more!"

Nelson didn't care about what O'Neal said at all. In fact, the two have established a deep friendship since the Dream Team. After O'Neal entered the league, Nelson also provided O'Neal with a lot of help. O'Neal is naturally grateful to Nelson.

In any case, relying on the shark-killing tactics, the Warriors beat the Magic without any risk, and then they will face the last opponent of the Eastern Conference trip, the New Jersey Nets.

When you come to the Nets, whether it is Divac or Kukoc, or the veterans of the Warriors such as Li Weisi and Rodman, this place is a sad place for them.

Especially when they saw the No. 3 jersey hanging on the home court of the Nets, their hearts still ached.

Their former teammate Drazen Petrovic still failed to escape his fate. In the summer of 93, he was involved in a car accident in Germany. He died on the spot because he was not wearing a seat belt.

It is extremely sad that a talented player has fallen like this, even though it has been almost two years now, but whenever they come to New Jersey and look at something about Petrovic, the old things will still be hooked in their hearts .

In fact, the Nets are not the only ones who retired Petrovic's jersey. The Warriors also retired Petrovic's No. 3 jersey.

Although Petrovic only played for the Warriors for more than one season, and he was still a substitute, the retired jersey has never been just a criterion of strength.

The purpose of NBA retired jerseys is generally considered for the following reasons:

First, pay tribute to the meritorious players.

Second, pay tribute to civilian heroes, generally referring to role players who have played in the team for many years but whose statistics are not outstanding.

Third, the memory of dead players, after all, in the United States, also follows the principle that the dead are the greatest.

Fourth, pay tribute to seriously injured players. This is mainly common in the early NBA.

Fifth, special cases and other staff, such as bosses, coaches, general managers, commentators, etc.

Petrovic is undoubtedly the third point of compliance, so although he did not make outstanding contributions to the Warriors, the Warriors management retired his jersey, and every fan did not raise objections.

Losing Petrovic's Nets took a heavy blow, but the team still has young heroes like Derek Coleman and Kenny Anderson, but unfortunately they have suffered serious injuries this season The tide caused several major players to enter the injury list one after another. A total of 13 players in the team suffered from different injuries, which caused the Nets to hardly have five players to play.

Fortunately, Coleman and Anderson are both in tonight's game. Although the team is still in the injury stage, as long as they are there, the Nets' team foundation will be there.

Unfortunately, even if both of them are present, it is difficult to cause too much trouble for the Warriors. At 127:103, the Warriors beat the Nets and clocked out of get off work in three quarters.

It is obvious that the Warriors are five consecutive visitors in the Eastern Conference, but the Warriors can retreat unscathed. It can be seen that the Warriors are in good condition now. Looking around, if there is any team in the league that can make the Warriors taste defeat, it is only that team up!
