Soul of the Golden State

Chapter 901 Dream Start
After successfully defending against the Rockets' offense, the Warriors' fast break came as promised.

However, the Rockets' defensive speed is also not slow. After Richmond brought the ball to the frontcourt, facing Chucky Brown on the outside and Barkley on the inside, Richmond stopped and put The ball was passed back to Li Weisi.

After Li Weisi got the ball, he was also not in a hurry to attack. He first pretended to break through, scaring Smith who was defending him, and then passed the ball back to Divac who had just arrived.

After receiving the pass from Li Weisi, Divac didn't dribble. After taking two steps forward, he directly chose a three-point shot.

Divac's shot really surprised everyone in the Rockets. As the first attack in the opening game, the Warriors played so boldly.

However, what surprised them even more was the result of the shot. The basketball went into the net and a three-pointer was scored. The Warriors led 3:0 at the start.

Seeing Divac hit the shot so easily, all the Rockets players frowned. Obviously, they also realized that the Warriors' state tonight was not right.

Then it was the Rockets' turn to attack. This time, Drexler didn't ask for the ball again, and Smith handed the basketball to Olajuwon.

Olajuwon hit Divac with his back. Although Divac's defense was very attentive, he was still shaken by Olajuwon like a fool. In the end, Olajuwon scored 2 points with a hook, 3:2.

After the Rockets scored, the Warriors' offense roared again. Although the Rockets retreated quickly, the Warriors were already chasing the Rockets and forcing a counterattack.

During the fast break, Li Weisi gave the ball to Finley, who stepped past Brown who was defending him, facing Barkley's defense, and collided with Barkley fiercely in the air.

There is no difference between hitting Barkley and hitting a pig, but when Finley hit in the air, his whole body began to fly backwards, and in this case, Finley actually threw the ball.

The basketball bypassed Barkley's palm, hit the backboard and bounced into the net, 5:2.

It was the Rockets' turn to attack again. This time the Rockets handed the ball to Barkley. Barkley hit Rodman with his back and missed a shot. Out of the basket, not in!
This time, the rebound was finally protected by Divac with difficulty, and the Rockets returned without success again.

At the same time, the Warriors' offense struck again. The Warriors' offense in the first two rounds was not hit by Li Weisi or Richmond, but someone else. Alright, so everyone else followed their defender closely, for fear that the opponent would score again.

However, Li Weisi did not pass the ball easily this time, but chose to break through. After experiencing the defenses of Stockton and Payton in the first two rounds, facing Smith at this time, Li Weisi suddenly felt that his defensive pressure was too much less, so It was easy to break through Smith.

Seeing this situation, Olajuwon immediately stepped forward to defend Li Weisi, but Li Weisi passed the ball to Richmond who was also running.

Richmond, who ran from the flank to behind Li Weisi, received the ball and drifted to complete the shot, which made Drexler, who was defending him, unable to touch Richmond's shirt corner.

Richmond did not disappoint Li Weisi's pass. This long two-pointer hit again, 7:2, and the Warriors continued to expand their lead.

In the first three offenses of the Rockets, the Big Three attacked once, but only Olajuwon scored. Therefore, Smith's first reaction after coming to the frontcourt this time was to hand the ball to Olajuwon again.

However, at this moment, he suddenly discovered that Divac actually chose to defend around the front, stretching out his arms and trying to interfere with Smith's passing route.

To be honest, Divac is not the right defensive choice.

For the defense around the front, it is generally required that the defender has flexible feet, physical coordination, explosive and good scoring players, and at the same time, the defender needs to move slowly and have rough skills, etc.

In fact, Divac's footsteps are definitely not flexible, let alone outbursts. On the other hand, Olajuwon, although 5 years older than Divac, is still better than Olajuwon in terms of flexibility. There are a lot of Divac, so Divac's defense around the front is almost equivalent to a suicide defense, and it is very likely that he will lose his position, which will cause Olajuwon to score easily.

But just as Smith was observing how to drop the ball in, Li Weisi suddenly moved, and he pulled out with his small hand, successfully poking away Smith's dribble.

Immediately afterwards, Smith rushed to get the ball back, but Li Weisi's hands were faster, and he took the first step to control the ball in his hands, and launched a fast break at the same time.

Due to a mistake on the back line, the rest of the Rockets had to be slow to return to defense. Li Weisi took the lead and rushed into the frontcourt. Facing the empty basket, he made an easy layup, 9:2.

The Warriors played so strongly in the opening game that the Rockets did not expect.

Regarding the first two rounds of the Warriors, the Rockets have also watched the video. They know how struggling the Warriors were in the first two rounds. How come when it comes to playing against themselves, everyone explodes?

This is not scientific!
The game continued, and the Rockets finally scored in this round.

This time, the Rockets successfully sent the ball to Olajuwon through Drexler, and then Olajuwon attracted Rodman's double-team during the offense, and then gave the ball to Barkley, who Easily scored the ball and finally scored another 2 points for the Rockets, 9:4.

However, when it came to the Warriors' offense, the Warriors' wide-ranging offense completely mobilized the Rockets' defensive formation, especially Li Weisi's running position, which almost made the Rockets' defense jump.

At this moment, Finley broke through with the ball and successfully tore a hole in the Rockets' defense. Facing Drexler's defense, Finley gave the ball to Richmond on the wing.

Richmond raised his hand and shot from outside the three-point line, the basketball hit the net, and the Warriors made another three-pointer, 12:4.

Immediately afterwards, the Rockets still failed to score in the next attack, and the person who failed to score this time was Olajuwon, the most stable Rockets team. He missed a mid-range shot when he was open. After Rodman grabbed the rebound, the Warriors launched another counterattack.

During the fast break, Finley took the lead and left everyone behind. Rodman's quarterback long pass found him immediately.

After receiving the ball, Finley took a step before the free throw line, took off directly, stepped on the air, bent his whole body into a bow in the air, and smashed the basketball into the basket, 14:4.

After the ball was hit, Rockets coach Rudy Tomjanovich requested a timeout. There was no way for the Warriors to start the game, which was too strong.

For the Warriors, they established a 10-point lead at the beginning, which is definitely a dream start.
