Soul of the Golden State

Chapter 806
Price is only 31 years old now, but now he feels more and more powerless, and there is always a feeling of being hollowed out.

Years of fighting have left his body devastated. Unlike Li Weisi's minor injuries, Price has experienced too many minor injuries after leaving the Warriors.

In the past, he didn't think there was anything, thinking it was a way to prove his toughness. On the contrary, he still vaguely felt that Li Weisi was making a fuss out of a molehill and playing a big game.

But now, looking back, I realize how correct Li Weisi's actions were.

This is a business alliance, and it is a very competitive alliance. As long as you have a problem, you will be replaced by a new person at any time.

At this time, he was sitting on the bench. He left the Warriors for a starting position, but now in the end, he has returned to the place where his dream began. The only difference is that his youth is gone.

In fact, for Coach Jackson's substitution, Price could understand that he was at a disadvantage against Li Weisi and had to let Jordan defend, which caused Jordan to suffer a lot on the defensive end. Still at a disadvantage against Richmond.

On the other hand, Harper does not have such a problem. Harper, who is 198cm tall, has already lost his jumping and speed due to serious injuries to his knees, but with his good static talent and defensive experience, he is very effective in defending Li Weisi. The effect obtained is far better than myself.

In addition, Harper's three-pointers and Pippen's organization can also replace his role on the offensive end to a certain extent. On the contrary, it becomes more important for him to lead the substitute in the substitute stage.

So, even though I don't want to, this is indeed a better choice.

The resentment in Price's heart was seen by others, but no one cared, after all, everyone's attention was on the field at this time.

On the court, the starters of the two sides are already in place, especially the two big centers, Divac and Longley, are already standing in the middle circle and ready to jump the ball. The two most prestigious teams today finally meet in the finals .

With the success of Longley's jump ball, the Bulls got the first wave of offensive ball.

Although Langley is a white Australian, his talent is still quite good. The seventh pick in the first round is much higher than that of Divac.

Coupled with the fact that the two are about the same height and age, in fact, in the jump ball competition, the two have a [-]-[-] chance of winning. This time, Langley gave the ball to Ron with a slight advantage. Hubble.

Harper is not a pure point guard, including since he entered the NBA in 86, he has played as a shooting guard.

It's a pity that his performance in the Bulls was not satisfactory, let alone Jordan's comeback, even if Jordan didn't come back, his starting position in the team at that time had become precarious.

However, when Jordan came back, he focused on defense and took himself from the position of star to the position of a role player, and suddenly his value changed drastically.

Just like now, when he gets the ball, he dribbles forward with the ball as soon as possible.

Due to his advantages in height and strength, Li Weisi was at a disadvantage when defending Hubble. Among other things, the current situation alone made Li Weisi very uncomfortable.

After the two had physical contact, Li Weisi was pushed in by Hubble. Obviously, Hubble, who is tall and big, is not Price. He doesn't play fancy dribbles with you, but directly bullies you with strength.

But Li Weisi is experienced in many battles after all. If only this can make the other party succeed, then it is impossible for him to become a superstar who was brighter than Jordan for a while.

After realizing the opponent's plan, Li Weisi also quickly understood that he could not defend him like this, so he resolutely gave up physical contact, retreated continuously, blocked Hubble's attacking route, and used his hands to grab the ball.

It can be said that Li Weisi made several judgments in an instant, and each of them made Hubble's attack very uncomfortable.

However, Hubble did not directly choose to forcefully attack the basket. Instead, after seeing Li Weisi change his defense, he turned his head to look at the moon and passed the ball to Jordan.

Compared with Hubble, Jordan's speed is faster, which is completely the gap between Wuling Hongguang and Porsche sports cars. Almost instantly, Jordan slipped past Li Weisi.

After breaking into the penalty area, only Rodman was left guarding the Warriors' penalty area. Jordan was not afraid, and directly stepped on the floor with one foot, like a spring, compressed to the extreme and jumped up.

Rodman also jumped high at the first time, trying to block Jordan from the front, but unfortunately, Jordan's bullet speed was far higher than him.

Before Rodman flew to the highest point, Jordan had already glided past Rodman and dunked the ball heavily into the basket.

In just 4 seconds of the start of the game, Jordan was like a sharp dagger, taking advantage of a little flaw that occurred when the Warriors retreated, stabbed hard into the Warriors' heart, and won 2 points for the Bulls first.

At this point Divac hadn't even returned to the penalty area yet!
When he came back, he couldn't even keep up with the serve.

Rodman sent the ball out from the bottom line at the first time, and then Li Weisi quickly launched a fast break, trying to take advantage of the Bulls' lack of time to return to defense, and also hit one.

However, the Bulls had already prepared for this. After Hubble completed the assist in the frontcourt, he did not return immediately. Instead, he stayed here and waited for Li Weisi to receive the ball.

Expecting Hubble to steal from Li Weisi in the Warriors' half court, no one would have such expectations. The Bulls let Hubble lead the defense, nothing more than to slow down Li Weisi's speed.

Have to say, this trick is working.

By the time Li Weisi crossed the center line with the ball and came to the Bulls' half court, the Bulls had already returned to defense and did not give the Warriors a chance.

Although the fast break is not effective, the Warriors still have a variety of methods after landing.

Li Weisi dribbled the ball and waited for his teammates to get in position. Divac did not enter the penalty area. When he passed by Li Weisi, he quickly blocked Hubble. At the same time, Li Weisi made a change of direction and successfully completed from behind Divac. broke through.

At this time, Langley was still on the free throw line. Even though he had already strode forward, he obviously couldn't have the slightest influence on Li Weisi.

But at this moment, Hubble suddenly bypassed Divac and posted it again, sealing Li Weisi's shot space.

Seeing that the first shot was about to end in failure, Li Weisi suddenly hit the ground and passed the ball, finding Divac who had just cut inside.

Because the attention of the two defenders was attracted by Li Weisi, Divac cut inside very smoothly. Longley wanted to return to the defense immediately, but Divac's flexibility and handwork were much better than Langley.

When he came to the free throw line and took a step in, Divac noticed that Grant had helped defend him, and he directly chose to throw.

As a big man with a height of 216cm, it is difficult for anyone to block him. Therefore, Divac's throw was hit steadily, 2:2, and the Warriors immediately responded.
