Soul of the Golden State

Chapter 762
After Li Weisi and Divac completed the pick-and-roll, they distributed the ball to Mullin who cut from the other side. After Mullin got the ball, he immediately took off and was about to complete the layup, but was nailed by Alonzo Mourning. Big hat.

The Hornets controlled the rebound and quickly launched a counterattack.

After defeating the Celtics, in the game against the Charlotte Hornets on April 4, Mullin finally returned to the team and ushered in a comeback.

Mullin, who has been absent from the game for four months, is in a mediocre state tonight. The outside shots have almost no sights, causing the Hornets to shrink the inside as much as possible. This is why Mullin's layup this time will be missed by Mourning An important reason to cover.

However, during the counterattack of the Hornets, Mourning did not pass the ball to Larry Johnson, who was already down and in a better position, but passed it to Tiny Boggs, who had not yet crossed the center line. Boggs' defender, Li Weisi, knocked the ball out of the sideline first. Although the Hornets still had the ball, they still avoided a fast break from the Hornets.

The four new teams that joined the NBA in the late 80s, the Timberwolves and the Heat are still sinking, while the Magic and Hornets have risen rapidly.

Needless to say, the Magic, relying on the young sharks and Penny, are currently ranked first in the Eastern Conference, while the Hornets rely on Larry Johnson, Alonzo Mourning, who was second in the list in 92, and Tiny Borg, who is only 160cm tall. Si, the joint efforts of these three All-Stars successfully helped the Hornets break into the playoffs in the 92-93 season.

However, such a youth army has fallen into a precarious situation this season.

"What are you doing? Why didn't you pass the ball to me just now?" Mourning had just passed halftime when he faced Larry Johnson's aggressive questioning.

"What are you shouting about? Didn't I not see you?" Facing Johnson's questioning, Mourning was completely unafraid and said with an innocuous expression.

"Didn't see me? You can see the 160cm Tiny, but you can't see me? Tell me again?" Johnson moved closer to Mourning and said viciously.

"No matter how many times you say it, if you didn't see it, you didn't see it!" Mourning also took a step forward. Looking from a distance, it felt like the two were about to kiss.

"What are you doing? You are playing now! Don't let your opponents and fans see the joke." Boggs hurried forward and pushed the two away.

The two also realized this, said nothing more, and shook their heads away from each other.

Boggs, on the other hand, looked very helpless. He glanced at the Warriors players and found that they all showed the appearance of curious babies, staring straight at Boggs. up.

Sure enough, it was still discovered?
In fact, Boggs also knows that the two bosses of the team are so obvious that anyone who is not blind can see that they are not compatible.

Larry Johnson and Alonzo Mourning, who entered the NBA as front and back feet, are the No. [-] pick and the No. [-] pick.

The first two years of entering the NBA were good, and they knew how to restrain each other, but as they grew older, the two had some opinions on each other, and both believed that they were the boss of the Hornets.

This season, the competition between the two has become more intense, and it has extended from the locker room to the arena. Not to mention it is a household name, but everyone knows it.

And myself, as the only person in the entire team who can make peace, has limited abilities, and it is almost impossible to adjust the conflict between the two.

Right now, he only hopes to end the season smoothly. As for whether the management will make adjustments or replace one party afterwards, that's another story.

There is a disagreement within the team, and they are facing a strong team like the Warriors. Even if the Hornets are now ranked fourth in the Eastern Conference, it is still difficult to beat the Warriors.

Just this one ball has already predicted the result of the normal game. Sure enough, although the Hornets scored 32 points in the third quarter, the team finally lost the game 106:116.

Mourning scored a team-high 22 points. Larry Johnson only scored 11 points because of his poor performance, which led to Mourning's ridicule after the game.

On the other hand, for the Warriors, Li Weisi and Richmond both scored 20+. In addition, Mullin did not play well tonight. He only played 20 minutes and scored 5 points on 1 of 5 shots.

In any case, with the return of Mullin, the Warriors have basically returned except for Moses Malone. Now that the team has basically appeared, Nelson can shift the focus from winning the game to adjusting the ball Team status is up.

Therefore, in the back-to-back away game against the Knicks on the second day, Nelson was extremely restrained in using the team's starting lineup. No matter what happened on the court, he strictly followed his substitution plan.

This has led to many times when the team clearly had the opportunity to catch up with the score, or to widen the point difference, because of Nelson's substitutions, the result fell short.

You must know that the opponent in this game is the Knicks!

After the "magic operator" Pat Riley took over the Knicks, the Knicks ushered in their take-off. Riley built the Knicks into an iron-blooded army, with Ewing as the core, with Oakley, Starks, A group of thugs such as Anthony Mason Jr. made the Knicks quickly become one of the powerhouses in the East, and even reached the finals last season.

Although it was swept by the Warriors 4:1 in the finals, the team's strength is still at the top of the league, and it is not an opponent that the Warriors can win without being serious.

Therefore, tonight's game has been following the rhythm of the Knicks. The Knicks' iron-blooded defense has prevented the Warriors from playing an effective fast break, and the rhythm cannot be pushed up at all.

In the end, with Derek Harper's two free throws, the Knicks defeated the Warriors with 90:87 and a slight advantage of 3 points, ending the Warriors' five-game winning streak.

Point guard Derek Harper, who was traded last year, scored a game-high 26 points and 6 assists, becoming the biggest contributor to the Knicks' victory.

You know, the 34-year-old Harper has already passed his peak period, and he can only average 11.5 points per game this season, ranking fourth in the team in scoring per game.

Ewing scored a large double-double with 19 points and 14 rebounds. Although he didn't score many points, he was like a pinnacle in the interior, firmly restraining the Warriors' massive defense and providing strong support for the team's offense from the outside.

For the Warriors, Mullin still performed mediocre, failing to score in double figures in two consecutive games.

Although it is normal for Mullin to be in a downturn because he hasn't played for too long, the playoffs are getting closer and closer. Fans still hope that Mullin can recover as soon as possible. After all, time waits for no one!
