Soul of the Golden State

Chapter 193 Isolated Incident
Jordan shook off Li Weisi's hand in extreme disgust, and walked back without looking back while chewing gum, which was really embarrassing.

Li Weisi's reaction was much better, like a normal person, he turned back to his own half, not caring at all about the bodily fluids of the man in his hand.

Although the audience is constantly molesting the two, the cold treatment of the two makes it only an episode, which may be replayed continuously in the future, but at this time the attention of the audience is still on the game.

With Li Weisi's three-pointer, the point difference was no longer 5-8 points, but returned to within 5 points.

This is not over yet, as time dwindles, both sides have deployed the strongest lineups they can.

Because it is an All-Star, some stars are unwilling to consume too much energy, some have injuries, some are not in good condition, etc. In short, the lineup will not overlap with the starting lineup.

The Western team's lineup at this time is: Magician, Li Weisi, Worthy, Chambers and Moses Malone.

Olajuwon only played 20 minutes and got it done hastily. However, it is understandable. After all, due to Sampson's injury, the future of the Rockets this season is bleak. Olajuwon naturally does not have much thought. Star performance.

On the contrary, because the home game is in Seattle, Chambers played quite well and was in good condition, so he was left on the court.

As for the Eastern team, the lineup sent is: Thomas, Jordan, Bird, Barkley and Parish. The star flavor of the lineup has gradually surpassed that of the Western team.

Not only that, at such a critical moment, Bird began to play.

He first used his signature setter, and after receiving a pass from Thomas, he quickly passed it to Barkley who was cutting inside. The latter flew up like a nuclear bomb and directly bombed the basket.

Due to his limited physical fitness, Malone's ability to block shots is not good, and he cannot be compared with Olajuwon. Therefore, Barkley can only make a slam dunk.

Later, after receiving the ball with his back in the high position, Bird made a hand-to-hand feint, then immediately turned around and made a jumper and hit a mid-range hit.

Then he shot Worthy, who was defending him, and after walking into the penalty area, he dunked through Chambers with both hands.

After a while, Bird had 4 points and 1 assist, showing the essence of a superstar.

However, fortunately, the western team doesn't just take beatings and don't fight back. Everyone is a superstar, so who is afraid of whom?
In addition to the mid-range hit, the magician also assisted Chambers to hit a three-pointer.

No one expected that, regardless of the excitement ahead, when the game entered the most critical moment, the first to stand up would be the black and white duo.

However, the other stars are not wooden. As the competition intensified, both sides showed their housekeeping skills. It was originally an entertainment game, but they gradually became competitive.

When the game entered the last 1 minute, the score of the two teams had reached 133:136, and the West team fell behind by 3 points.

But this time the possession of the ball belongs to the Western team.

The magician bent over and dribbled the ball, checking the situation on the court from time to time. At this time, the Eastern star team was defending extremely tightly and did not give the Western team the slightest space. The training-like shooting in the first half had long since disappeared.

Time was passing by every minute and every second, and the magician still didn't find an opportunity to take advantage of, so he decided to come by himself.

At this moment, Li Weisi used Malone's cover to get rid of Thomas' defense and found an opportunity to catch the ball.

Although this opportunity was fleeting, it was enough for the magician. With a big wave of his hand, the basketball flew into Li Weisi's arms like a cannonball.

After receiving the ball, Li Weisi knew that there was no room for him to turn around and shoot at this time, so he directly chose to dribble and break through from the other side of Malone. Thomas, who had already squeezed past Malone to defend, was once again blocked by Malone. He was right, and this time he was left behind.

However, Li Weisi, who entered the three-point line at 45 degrees, was immediately defended by Parish.

But Li Weisi has rich experience. I saw that after receiving the pick-and-roll breakthrough, he immediately raised his head to look at the basket. At the same time, his whole body formed a straight line from top to bottom. .

Seeing this situation, Parrish flew up reflexively and wanted to block Li Weisi, but Li Weisi was just a hesitant step and worshiped Buddha. After tricking Parish, he took another step and went straight to the layup.

The whole process was so smooth that there was no physical contact, and the layup ended without any interference, as if the Eastern team put Li Weisi for the layup.

With this goal scored, the Western team was only one point behind the Eastern team, and there were 46 seconds left.

When it was the East's turn to attack, Thomas dribbled the ball for a long time without looking at Jordan at all, while Jordan squatted quietly in the bottom corner chewing gum by himself, also ignoring Thomas.

In fact, before the Jordan Law was born, the contradiction between the two is not a big deal, and the reason for the grudge is a misunderstanding.

It was the All-Star in 1985, and it was also Jordan's All-Star debut. Before the game that day, the two met in the elevator, and Jordan didn't say a word during the whole process.

Thomas, who considers himself Jordan's elder in the NBA, saw that Jordan didn't greet him, and thought that this guy looked down on him at all.

And what did Jordan think at the time?He later said in his autobiography: "There were many big-name players in the elevator at the time. I didn't want to show too much confidence, so I didn't say a word."

It is not known how much beautification there is in it, but one thing is certain, Jordan is at least not as dragging as Thomas thought.

Therefore, due to this misunderstanding, Thomas wanted to give Jordan some color, so he negotiated with some stars in the Eastern Star Team (including Moses Malone) not to pass the ball to Jordan, and Thomas even let the Western team "" The fact that Iceman" George Gwendo attacked Jordan embarrassed him on the court.

In the end, the Eastern team lost to the Western team 129:140. Jordan also made 9 of 2 shots and scored 7 points. He was the least shot among the five starting players.

This is the most widely circulated isolated door incident.

Although the two later kept silent about this time, the grievances between the two began with this and will intensify in the future. Not to the point of incompatibility.

But even so, on the field, the communication between the two is almost zero, and they don't pass the ball to each other. This is not a big deal in the usual All-Star Game, but now at this decisive moment, any mistake will affect the final result. The results have a huge impact.

At this time, Li Weisi judged that Thomas would not pass the ball to Jordan, and predicted Thomas' passing route in advance, so he grabbed the ball while Thomas passed the ball.
