Soul of the Golden State

Chapter 756
The two teams played from 2:2 to 16:16. The suffocating defense was always accompanied by the whole process. It is precisely because of this defense that every goal is impressive.

In the face of such fierce competition, the Warriors still maintained their rhythm of substitutions. Although they took certain risks, Nelson has never been afraid of such risks.

I have to say that this time Nelson still made the right bet. Unlike the Warriors, Jackson did not dare to replace everyone on the Bulls side. He still kept Jordan on the court, leading Steve Kerr, Judd Buichler, Chris Gatlin, Luke Longley, to compete with the Warriors' bench.

However, what is unexpected is that facing the Warriors' bench lineup, the Bulls led by Jordan did not take advantage, especially after Cassel broke through Cole's defense and hit a layup at the buzzer. The Warriors scored 28 points in the first quarter. :23 leading the Bulls by 5 points.

What made Jordan even more embarrassing was that at the beginning of the second quarter, after Jordan was replaced for a break, Harper, who was replaced, played the Warriors 8-0 with the Bulls' substitutes, not only overtaking the score, but also Stopped the Warriors.

Damn, you play me?

Of course, how could the big-hearted Jordan say that about his dear teammates?He would only say to coach Jackson: "Phil, I'm rested, let me play!"

It was rare for Jackson to be tough in front of Jordan, and instead of agreeing to Jordan's request, he let Jordan continue to rest.

Instead, the Warriors made substitution adjustments, replacing Divac and PJ Brown. Obviously, the Warriors wanted to score first.

Nelson's adjustment was very effective, and then in the next round, Divac assisted Kukoc to hit a three-pointer, helping the team break the scoring drought.

After that, the point difference between the two teams has been hovering around 5 points, and no one has gone further.

Jordan only rested for more than 3 minutes, and then returned to the court with the Bulls' starting lineup, because the Warriors also switched back to the starting lineup at this time.

However, after the two sides returned to the starting lineup, God seemed to be joking with Jordan. Li Weisi and Richmond each hit a three-pointer, and the original lead of the Bulls was instantly wiped out.

Logically speaking, Jordan is indeed the most indispensable person for the Bulls, but at this time, he has the lowest win-loss value in the game. Where do you ask him to reason?

Play for fun, play for trouble, don't make jokes about the strength of Chief Qiao.

Under Jordan's hard work, the two sides fell into a stalemate. Either both teams scored, or both teams did not score. They fell into a tacit understanding that everyone wanted to break but could never break. .

At the end of the half, the Bulls took a 54:53 lead with a slight advantage of one point.

Entering the second half, it was Li Weisi who took the lead in attacking. With the help of a pick-and-roll at 45 degrees on the right side, facing Perdo's block, he hit a difficult three-pointer, opening the scoring for the Warriors in the second half. The score was overtaken.

The Bulls are also unequivocal. Grant is the axis inside, and Jordan once again faced the best background Jaylen Rose through the off-ball pick-and-roll.

Jordan feinted a shot, actually used Li Weisi's movement, retreated beyond the three-point line, and made a step-back three-pointer.

"Shuh!" The basketball hollowed into the net!
Jordan's goal is extremely beautiful. You must know that the three-point line at this time has returned to 7.25 meters.

Since the NBA shortened the three-point line in the 90-91 season, a large number of players have started to shoot three-pointers. A group of mid-range kings such as Jordan and Dumars have also switched to shooting three-pointers.

For a while, the number of three-point shots and shooting percentage of the entire league surged. Due to the surge of three-pointers, Li Weisi's three-pointers were actually weakened.

Therefore, Jordan was able to win three consecutive championships during that time. Apart from Li Weisi's injury, it was also inseparable from this aspect.

After three years of implementation, just in time for Jordan's retirement, the league restored the three-point line from a shortened 6.7 meters to 7.25 meters. For a while, the number of three-point shots, the number of hits, and the three-point shooting percentage of the entire league all appeared. Fall off a cliff.

Among them, the current Warriors players led by Li Weisi and Mullin, as well as the three-point shooters of the Warriors such as Price, Hornacek, and Kerr, stood out from the three-point list and attracted a lot of attention. The attention of the entire league, after all, the tide has receded before we know who is Luo Yong.

It was at this time that Kerr joined the Bulls, following in Price's footsteps.

Unfortunately, Cole's fate was not as good as Price's. Price's job-hopping won him four championships, while Cole's job-hopping caused him to lose two championships. He joined Guo Jun in 49.

Having said that, with Jordan hitting this three-pointer, the Bulls regained the lead again with 57:56.

However, Li Weisi took his time and slowly dribbled the ball to the frontcourt during the anxious stage of the score. This time, he did not use the pick-and-roll, and made a small change of direction and immediately took a step back for a three-pointer. Facing Jordan's defense, he chose a strong shot .

Three more points!

The toughness of Li Weisi's shot kicked down the morale that had been raised by the Bulls.

However, Li Weisi's ball also irritated Jordan. As a competitive person who was almost paranoid, he not only wanted to win, but also won the PK victory with Li Weisi.

This time, he received the ball directly from the backcourt, ignoring Price, and took the ball directly from the backcourt to the frontcourt.

Regarding Jordan's outrageous behavior, Price didn't say a word. He just silently took a step ahead of Jordan and came to the frontcourt to open up space for Jordan.

At the age of 31, his self-confidence has long been exhausted by injuries and illnesses, and he has long lost his proud heart. Today, he is more like an old man who has tasted the vicissitudes of life, sitting by the river and watching the wind and clouds .

After Jordan took the ball to the frontcourt, facing Richmond's defense, he also prevented Perdo from bringing up the pick-and-roll for him, and chose one-on-one instead.

This time, instead of using the post-up, which is now his main weapon, Jordan opted for the face-up, which is now rarely used.

Lowering the center of gravity, the basketball swayed back and forth between his two long arms. Richmond also tensed his nerves at this time, and stepped back inch by inch.

Seeing that when he came near the three-point line, Jordan actually chose the same action as Li Weisi, and immediately collected the ball and shot a step-back three-pointer.

Different from Li Weisi's quick shot, Jordan relied more on his unparalleled jumping and staying in the air. Richmond tried his best and couldn't interfere with Jordan at all.

A cloud-piercing arrow, thousands of troops meet!

Jordan is going to compete with Li Weisi for three points!
