Soul of the Golden State

Chapter 923 Desperate Scream
The final score was fixed at 107:88, and the Warriors won the game by a big score, tying the score to 2:1.

But for this result, no one in San Francisco will be satisfied, because Richmond was diagnosed with a sprained lateral knee ligament after the game. Just by hearing the name, he knew that he would not be able to come back in the next few games of the finals.

Now, the Warriors fans fell into a desperate situation. Seeing that they worked hard for the whole season, in the end, they still couldn't beat the injuries, and finally fell short.

Although we won this game, what's the use of that?Completely win the game and lose the championship.

The fourth game between the two teams is scheduled for two days later, on June 6, and the Warriors are destined to play without Richmond.

The game was still held at Oracle Arena that night. In order to fill the vacancy of Richmond, the Warriors were able to mention Jaylen Rose to the starting lineup to ensure the Warriors' starting defensive strength.

As a result, in the whole game, although Li Weisi took 28 shots, he only hit 10 goals and scored 31 points alone, but the team still lost to the Bulls 95:107 in the end.

Without Richmond, the Bulls attacked Li Weisi even more brazenly, but the other Warriors teammates couldn't provide enough help to Li Weisi.

In the game that night, Li Weisi even scored a rare 40 points in playing time, but the team lost just 8 minutes when he was not on the court.

Li Weisi's plus-minus value in the game is +1, that is to say, with Li Weisi on the court, the Warriors even lead.

But in any case, with the loss of this game, no matter which team the fans think the Warriors still have a chance, after all, from the establishment of the NBA to the present, no team has been able to fall behind 1:3 in the finals Down, win.

The time came to June 6th, the fifth game between the two teams continued to be held at the Oracle Arena in San Francisco.

At this time, the final competition system still adopts the 232 competition system, which means that the side with the superior record in the regular season needs to experience three consecutive away games, which is actually more beneficial to the side with the poor record in the regular season.

Of course, all of this is meaningless to the Warriors. Even if the Warriors win this game, what can they do?Is it possible that they can win three games in a row?

With such a mood, in the last home game tonight, although the home fans are still shouting, but unlike the confident shouting in the first home game, the shouting now is more of a desperate cry, Tragic and tragic.

Compared with the previous game, the Warriors' starting lineup tonight has changed again.

In the last game, Rose's starting effect was not good. Facing Rose's defense, Jordan completely beat Rose to the ground like no one was defending.

On the other hand, in the offense, Rose couldn't bring enough pressure to Jordan, which made Jordan more and more excited, and finally scored 28 points and 8 assists very efficiently.

On the contrary, in the game, when Finley defended Jordan a few times, it had a good effect. Of course, this is probably just a coincidence. After all, it is impossible to find someone in the league who can completely restrain Jordan. .

In this case, Nelson decisively made a bold decision, which is to return the first-year Finley to the shooting guard position, and then put Kukoc into the starting lineup.

Obviously, Nelson's idea is that since he can't defend, it's better to simply increase the offense. You hit yours, and I hit mine.

Seeing the Warriors' starting lineup, Pippen and Jordan were taken aback for a moment, and then Pippen said to Jordan abruptly, "The Warriors sent a rookie to defend you!"

"Hmph, let's see how I beat him!" Jordan pouted, not paying attention to Finley at all.

"You'd better be careful, that rookie's strength is quite good." After several games against Finley, Pippen still recognized Finley's strength.

Of course, in this sentence, only Pippen knows how many elements of kind reminders and how many aggressive elements are there.

Anyway, when Jordan heard this, his face immediately became a little ugly, and he made a bad face at Pippen and said, "Are you looking down on me?"

"Hahaha..." Pippen smiled when he saw this. Obviously seeing Jordan's reaction, Pippen knew that his goal had been achieved.

For the jump ball of the two teams, Divac still won the jump ball this time, giving the Warriors the opportunity to start the offense first.

Under Jordan's defense, Li Weisi came to the frontcourt.

Since Hubble has not yet returned, Jordan is still defending Li Weisi in this game.

Playing Jordan alone is not a wise choice. After all, the game has just started, and Li Weisi's physical strength is not as good as Jordan's.

Therefore, Li Weisi took the initiative to wave to Divac and continued to attack through the most basic pick-and-roll.

Divac and Li Weisi have played pick-and-roll for so many years, and the two have already had a tacit understanding. Therefore, when Jordan squeezed past Divac, Divac immediately moved down to attract the defense and create opportunities for Li Weisi.

But at this time, the Bulls' defensive focus is on Li Weisi, just like in the last game.

Naturally, Li Weisi didn't talk too much, and immediately gave the ball to Divac, and Sekali quickly stepped forward to defend.

After Divac got the ball, he didn't go down immediately, but stood near the free throw line and looked like he was going to shoot. However, after attracting Sekali's defense, he passed the ball to Li Weisi who cut inside.

It turned out that Li Weisi and Divac played a small cooperation, which successfully allowed Li Weisi to get rid of Sekali's obstruction, and at the same time, Jordan could only follow Li Weisi to eat ashes.

Relying on super high ball and technology, the basketball seems to be stuck in Li Weisi's hands, no matter how Li Weisi plays, he can't lose it.

After flashing and moving, before the opponent's defense arrived, he quickly completed the throw. The whole process was done in one go, so that Jordan didn't catch up with Li Weisi.

The basketball went into the net hollow, 2:0, Li Weisi made a good start for the Warriors.

However, offense is not the most difficult part for the Warriors with Li Weisi. Without Richmond, the arrow who defends Jordan, this is the most deadly. Next is the time to test the Warriors' defense. Can Finley live up to expectations?
However, what surprised everyone was that when Hubble came to the front court and handed the basketball to Jordan, he was surprised to find that the defender standing in front of Jordan was not the first-year rookie Hubble, but The hair is as colorful as Rodman who overturned the palette.

The Warriors actually let their power forwards defend the opponent's shooting guards?This is really unexpected!
