Soul of the Golden State

Chapter 248
Johnson has been in the NBA for eight years. In the past eight years, he has experienced a lot of battles, at least for the playoffs.

But like tonight, it was the first time that the entire team was being chased by a rookie, especially since he was a point guard.

What is a point guard?The point guard should be like him, who plays the role of the attack engine that directs his teammates to attack on the court. He should not aim at scoring himself, but use precise and fast passing to make his teammates score. This is the responsibility of the point guard. .

But what about his opponent?
Tonight, he seems to have picked out the pass key, and only has eyes on the basket. How can this be a point guard?

Logically speaking, such a poor shot selection should be criticized, but this guy is too accurate, especially in the fourth quarter, it feels like he didn't miss a few.

This really subverts Johnson's three views, can the point guard play like this?Should I also practice three-pointers?

The above mental activities are only a moment in real time. After Kareem Abdul-Jabbar serves and Johnson receives the ball, all these activities are suppressed. At this time, the outcome of the game is the most critical!
The score was tied with a maximum lead of 18 points. This is definitely a great boost to the morale of the Warriors. Therefore, the Warriors' players work harder on defense.

Mullin was a little too excited at this time, and dared to use his small body to lead Johnson from the backcourt.

But Johnson has already experienced similar defenses countless times, so he came from the backcourt all the way to the frontcourt, easily cracking Mullin's defense.

Coming to the frontcourt, Johnson observed the situation with his eyes while preventing Mullin from taking the ball.

The Lakers' offense in the fourth quarter was really bad. From the fourth quarter to now, they have scored less than 20 points in total. You must know which quarter did not score more than 30 points in the first three quarters.

Scott and Kareem were being taken care of at this time, and the ball couldn't get in at all. Green and Worthy had a chance, but the two were not in good shape tonight. After careful consideration, Johnson decided to do it himself.

Through the pick-and-roll with Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, he found a shooting opportunity near the mid-range, made a decisive shot, and finally hit the shot. Before again, he had already missed three shots.

However, this did not frighten him. At the critical moment, he should stand up and score, and he will never back down.

Wait, Johnson suddenly thought of something, does Li Weisi think the same as himself?It's just that for him, this critical moment is the whole game?
This is too bizarre, right?
Before he could think too much, Li Weisi had already attacked. Facing Scott's close defense, Li Weisi naturally and easily broke through Scott's defense, which immediately attracted the help of other Lakers players.

However, at this time, Johnson was keenly aware that besides himself assisting in the defense, why did the other Lakers teammates also assist in the defense?

What the hell are you doing?There is only one person on the other side!
One person actually attracted the defensive attention of five people on the field. What's going on?
Even though he thought so, Johnson still felt that he jumped up uncontrollably, ready to block Li Weisi, because Li Weisi was about to shoot.

One person lifts the ball, and three people jump at the same time. This scene is quite spectacular!

Li Weisi did not choose to shoot the ball, as if he found the pass button that had been deducted, and pressed it back.

A ground-hitting pass was passed to Malone under the basket. After receiving the ball, Malone dunked with both hands!

The fans at the scene were so surprised that they forgot to breathe.

Ma Long dunked the ball beautifully, and Li Weisi also passed it beautifully, but what really surprised them was, are the Lakers all fools?Why did the insiders attack Li Weisi and ignore Ma Long under the basket?It's been a long time since such a low-level defensive error actually appeared on the Lakers!
Also dissatisfied is Riley off the court. He yelled at the sidelines. His words may not be that bad, but his tone is definitely not good.

It's just that Johnson didn't care about Riley's blame at all. He thought more about why he gave up his defensive player and ran to defend Li Weisi?
The Lakers didn't score the next goal, and Scott missed a layup. Obviously, the defensive error just now also affected Scott's mentality.

It was the Warriors' turn to attack. When Li Weisi broke through Scott's defense again and raised the ball to shoot again, Johnson, who had been paying attention, stopped the urge to help defend and watched with cold eyes, only to find that Green and Worthy were still helping. go out.

The reason why Kareem Abdul-Jabbar didn't come over was mainly because he ran slowly. In fact, when he saw Li Weisi make a move, he also moved a few steps.

Just because everyone hesitated, Green and Worthy still failed to catch up, and Li Weisi hit a mid-range jumper almost open.

The Warriors lead by one point.

In the next round, Johnson successfully hit Mullin with a small hook again, tying the score.

But when it was the Warriors' turn to attack, everyone was in trouble again, because Li Weisi had the ball, and they didn't know whether they should help defend Li Weisi.

Another hesitation caused Li Weisi to hit a three-pointer this time.

Damn it, we can't go on like this anymore, everyone is almost going to have a nervous breakdown from Li Weisi's shooting.

"Calm down, everyone follow the tactics and don't mess around!" Johnson clapped his hands on the field to remind everyone.

However, even he himself felt that this was a bit difficult, because Li Weisi's shooting was so eye-catching that people couldn't help but want to go to defend.

The Lakers missed the offense again, and this time they are three points behind.

This time when Li Weisi was in the pick-and-roll with Ma Long, he was actually double-teamed and Ma Long was vacated directly. You must know that Li Weisi was still outside the three-point line at this time!

In front of Ma Long, there are empty horses racing.

Abdul-Jabbar also realized this immediately, but at this time he had already jumped up.

Sure enough, Li Weisi did not throw the ball, but stretched his hands on the left side of Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's waist after retracting it.

Have you passed it on?damn it!
After landing, Abdul-Jabbar quickly turned around, ready to see if there was a remedy.

But when he turned around and took two steps, he found that Malone didn't get the ball at all, and then looked at Scott who ran over with him.

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's face immediately changed, and he and Scott quickly looked back at Li Weisi at the same time.

There was no one one meter in front of Li Weisi, and he took the ball and shot it easily, like a shooting practice.

This continuous play of Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, and finally a fake fax shot and a three-pointer, was so exciting that Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Scott were reduced to background boards at the same time.

After the ball was hit, the Lakers also lost the chance to win. The 5-point difference and less than 24 minutes later declared the Warriors' victory in this game.

In the end, at 121:129, the Lakers scored their first loss in the playoffs this season at the Warriors' home court.

And Li Weisi's performance in this game was astonishing. He played 42 minutes and scored 58 points, 6 assists and 4 steals, and his shooting percentage was as high as [-]%.

Especially in the fourth quarter, he scored 28 points in a single quarter, setting an NBA playoffs scoring record in a single quarter.

After the game, Li Weisi, who finally defeated the Lakers once, refused to celebrate with his teammates. Instead, he stood under the basket alone and watched everything in front of him in silence.

It wasn't until Frank came to him that Li Weisi finally spoke: "Frank, thank you, I think I understand what you mean."

Frank, who wanted to comfort Li Weisi, was taken aback, "What the hell do you understand?"

　The prototype of this game was the fourth game of the original Warriors semifinals against the Lakers. In that game, Warriors point guard Floyd scored 29 points in a single quarter, setting a record for scoring in a single quarter in the playoffs, which has been maintained to this day. . .
