Soul of the Golden State

Chapter 211 I want to win more
The old Chicago stadium was full of people. Countless young Chicagoans gathered outside the stadium. They couldn’t enter the stadium to watch the game because they didn’t have tickets, but they still didn’t want to leave, but gathered outside the stadium to cheer for Jordan. .

Fortunately, this scene has been staged too many times this season, but the number of people has never been so large.

Therefore, the on-site staff already knew how to deal with it, and they didn't panic at all. They erected a huge screen in front of the arena, which perfectly solved the risk that the fans might cause trouble on the site.

Barack, a loyal fan of the Bulls, also finished his work early today and came here with a group of his friends.

His friends are all poor boys, no one can afford the hundreds of dollars in tickets from the ticket dealers, what?Cheap tickets you say?
What are you kidding?How do you think the tickets in the hands of the ticket dealers come from?

However, despite this, everyone is not too depressed. What could be happier than being able to cheer for Jordan with a group of like-minded friends?

At this time, the game hadn't started yet, but both outside and inside the arena were already boiling, and only the locker room seemed a little quieter in comparison.

The members of the Warriors are quite calm. After a season of countless games, they have long been numb at this time. Even the rookies have long been accustomed to it, and they have completely lost the tension they had before the season.

Several people chatted with each other while changing clothes and making final preparations before the game.

"The lineup for the NCAA Final Four came out this time. I didn't think much of it. I don't know if the rookies selected by the team this year will be among these teams?"

"I don't think it's going to work. How many of these teams can play in the NBA? I feel that the talents are all average. I don't think so."

"What do you think? Even if we have the No. [-] pick, we won't be able to pick it. Based on our record this year, it's just a draft pick at the end of the first round. If you don't choose an immediate combat power from a strong team, why don't you still want to sign a big one? David Robinson?"

"You misunderstood me. When did I say I was going to sign Robinson? But this guy is really like a monster. I heard that he grew 18cm in one year in college!"

"Well, 18cm? Are you looking down on me?" Rodman, who had been silent all this time, interrupted suddenly.

"roll!"

"Hahaha..." Rodman interrupted at the right time, making everyone laugh.

After laughing, Hornacek turned to Li Weisi and asked, "Hey, West, I heard that you didn't even make it to March Madness at Stanford this year. Isn't that too miserable?"

"It's okay, this is their normal strength, there is nothing terrible!" Facing his alma mater, Li Weisi said without sympathy at all.

However, Li Weisi's words, no matter how you look at them, look a bit like Versailles.

"Wow, I really want to feel someone pretending to be 13!" Hornacek exaggeratedly surprised.

"Okay, the game is about to start, everyone concentrate on me!" At this moment, Nelson walked into the locker room and interrupted the players' chat.

"Today's game, West let the word out early, we can't lose!"

What Nelson was talking about was the recent rumors about a match between the two in the media, and he used this to make fun of Li Weisi.

"This is just an objective inference I made based on the strength of the two teams, not to prove anything." Hearing Nelson's teasing, Li Weisi quickly explained.

"Hahaha, no matter what it is, the outside world will think this is your declaration of victory, so no matter what happens tonight, we will win!"

Nelson's words received a lot of response from the players, and everyone said that they must win this game, which can be described as a rainbow of momentum.

And the players also brought this momentum to the game not long after.

At the beginning of the game, the Warriors turned their backs first, and under the leadership of Li Weisi, all members entered the state first. Even in the game, they even used the horn tactics that they did not master well, which showed that they played extremely relaxed.

On the other side, although Jordan still played well, he still couldn't stop the score from falling behind.

In the first quarter, the Bulls were 22 to 30, 8 points behind the Warriors, and the 2-point gap almost all appeared in the [-] minutes when Jordan went to rest.

In fact, the general manager of the Bulls, Jerry Krause, was very diligent before the trade deadline. He tried his best to make some big deals. Unfortunately, he didn't have many chips in his hand, and the room left for him to operate was even more pitiful. , In the end, the biggest deal of the entire season was the trade of Steve Colter and the strengthening of John Paxson.

So Paxson and Oakley became the only two reliable helpers around Jordan, but although Paxson is good at offense, he is really not good at defense. It is just a dream to expect him to guard against Li Weisi.

In desperation, at the beginning of the second quarter, Jordan appeared again, leading the substitute players to chase points.

I have to say that Jordan is really strong. After 4 minutes of the game, as Jordan broke through the inside line and made a layup, causing Duckworth to foul and get two free throws, he finally had a chance to tie the score.

Seeing Jordan's selfless breakthrough not only ignited the enthusiasm of the audience in the stadium, but also made the fans outside the stadium shout. Each of them, like Barack, raised their hands and sang Jordan's name.

And at this time, the Warriors' starters all returned to the court again.

Jordan made two free throws and the score returned to the same starting line again.

Next it was the Warriors' turn to attack. Facing Paxson's defense, Li Weisi easily broke through Paxson's defense with a dribble from his crotch and a dribble behind his back.

Although this movement is very simple, in fact, it is not easy to achieve the effect of lifting weights like Li Weisi. The most critical point is to grasp the timing.

When Li Weisi dribbles behind the back, the ball must land first, and then move his feet to jump sideways. This is very important, because when you move the ball and your feet at the same time, it is easy for the defender to block you.

After the first ball and the second kick, Li Weisi paused in the middle and immediately got rid of Paxson's defense. Then Li Weisi did not go deep into the penalty area, but directly chose to throw. Paxson behind him had no ability to block himself from behind. As for Oakley, who was supplementing the defense, was still some distance away from himself at this time.

Therefore, Li Weisi can take the shot calmly, relying on his soft touch, the basketball is hollow into the net.

After scoring the goal, Li Weisi looked calm, just glanced at Jordan, and then retreated to his own half.

But with such a look, Jordan understood a lot. It was Li Weisi telling him that with me around, you don't want to win.

Seeing this scene, Jordan chewed his gum more vigorously.

Although the previous air conversation was a publicity by Nike, Jordan's competitive spirit did not allow him to ignore those topics. He wanted to win this game more than anyone else.
