Soul of the Golden State

Chapter 177
"In the first quarter today, West's performance was perfect. I can't even describe his crazy move. This is the fourth time he has scored 4+ points in a single quarter this season. His explosive scoring is absolutely amazing. The top gear in the league."

Today, because it is a full-meter live broadcast, CBS TV naturally sent the best commentary lineup, live commentary Dick Stockton and commentator Billy Cunningham.

I have to say that although Stockton's remarks just now are suspected of rainbow fart, they are all facts.

Li Weisi has only been playing for 3 months now, and his ability to quickly score points in a short period of time, or the explosive power of scoring, has indeed shocked the entire league.

Cunningham on the side also agreed with Stockton at this time, he echoed: "Yes, as Dick said, but his ability is inextricably linked to his three-pointers. "

"Oh? Tell me, Billy, what's going on here?"

The two sang together, teased and held together, like a cross talk, Cunningham took over Stockton's topic and continued: "Okay, as we all know, the skill of three-pointers is a test of the player's touch. , and the touch is a very mysterious thing, extremely talented, and players have the ability to control the basketball itself through later training.

West’s ball feel is undoubtedly the best. Once he has the touch, he can ignore the defense and shoot at will from outside the three-point line, which makes the defensive players distressed. This is why he can score so many points in a short period of time. reason.

However, although this ability is very powerful, I do not recommend that everyone learn West's style of play. I know that there are already young players on the Golden State campus who have begun to learn West's style of play. Take a few luck and vote.

This style of play is absolutely wrong, because you have no long-term training at all, and you don't have the talent of West. "

"Hahaha, that's right, I hope the young players will take this as a warning and remember Billy's warning to you!" Stockton joked, "Okay, let's go back to the game, the second quarter begins, Let's see how the Sonics should adjust to deal with West's magic tonight."

How to adjust?Of course it is not adjusted!

One's own side has performed very well, but it is still lagging behind. This has indeed dealt a heavy blow to the Supersonics.

However, the Sonics have achieved the ultimate in offense and defense, and they don't think their team will lose to Li Weisi alone.

Therefore, the Sonics did not make any tactical changes, but instead increased the starting playing time. Therefore, in the second quarter, they continued their excellent touch, and the whole team maintained a high offensive efficiency.

On the contrary, for the Warriors, because Li Weisi played the first quarter, Li Weisi sat off the court to rest in the first half of the second quarter, and the rest of the Warriors did not have the touch of Li Weisi tonight.

Therefore, the Sonics, which remained unchanged and responded to all changes, finally completed the overtake of the Warriors 3 minutes after the start of the second quarter.

Faced with such a situation, Nelson sent all the starters except Li Weisi, but the situation on the field did not change decisively.

Because the Sonics are too accurate, and the whole team is accurate.

This not only made Malone's rebounding ability unusable, but also made the Warriors' defense extremely restless, and even affected the morale of the Warriors' offense.

However, despite the rapidly changing situation, Nelson still had no plans to bring Li Weisi back in advance, but proceeded completely according to the rotation schedule until the sixth minute of the second quarter, when the Supersonics were already behind by six points at 6:48 up.

At this time, during the timeout, Nelson replaced Li Weisi on the field again.

When Li Weisi left the field, the team led by 6 points. When he came back again, they lost by 6 points. There were as many as 12 points inside and outside. However, these point differences were caused in just 6 minutes.

However, Li Weisi saw immediate results as soon as he came back. He first attracted double-teams, distributed the ball to Malone under the basket for an alley-oop, and then hit a chasing three-pointer again during the counterattack.

After playing for less than 1 minute, the point difference returned to [-] point in an instant.

This frightened the head coach of the Supersonics, Bernie Bickerstaff, and quickly called a timeout, trying to interrupt Li Weisi's touch.

Does this surname with such a long letter look familiar? Yes, he is the father of ** Bickerstaff. His father Bernie has a lot of coaching experience. He has been a basketball coach since 68. position, at the time as a teaching assistant at the University of San Diego, which is now nearly 20 years old.

Therefore, it seems that this father is more daring to call a timeout than his son. The Warriors called a timeout for less than 1 minute, and Bernie also called a timeout.

Back from the timeout, the Sonics stabilized their position. Tommy Chambers received Danny Young's point and hit a mid-range jumper, again opening the point difference to three points.

But turning around, Li Weisi broke through Danny Young's defense. After entering the penalty area, he faced Alton Lister who was supplementing the defense. He hit the ball with a high board and caused a foul by Lister at the same time.

With the extra penalty hit, the Warriors tied the score again.

Chambers is not the only player on the Supersonics who feels hot. With the help of Chambers' pick-and-roll, Ellis got rid of Mullin's defense and hit a three-pointer. This is the Supersonics' first tonight. Two three-pointers, the first one was hit by Chambers in the first quarter.

I have to say, don't underestimate the combined three-pointers of Chambers and Ellis than Li Weisi alone, but these two are already the top shooters in the league.

However, Li Weisi's three-pointer is indeed an epoch-making existence.

In the next round of positional warfare, Li Weisi used the pick-and-roll to successfully attract the defense of the two outside the three-point line, and distributed the ball to Malone who was running down. Malone dunked with both hands after receiving the ball. The timing makes his slam dunk as easy as training.

In this way, although Coach Bickerstaff has repeatedly emphasized not to double-team Li Weisi, as Li Weisi's three-point threat is getting bigger and bigger, the players are reflexively wanting to attack Li Weisi in the ever-changing defense, resulting in It opened up a defensive loophole and gave other Warriors players an opportunity to take advantage of it.

In this way, with Li Weisi's reappearance, the Warriors regained the initiative in the arena. The replacement of only one person changed the whole situation. Li Weisi's strength is so terrifying!
As Li Weisi succeeded in a layup with a Rondo-style signature feint in the last second before the end of the second quarter, he not only scored his 29th point of the game, but also helped the Warriors finally achieve a lead again .

At halftime, 59:60, the Warriors led by one point into the second half.
