Soul of the Golden State

Chapter 371 Added Rotation
The Lakers also had a game on the first day. They beat the Mavericks 116:113 away.

In this game, the state of the Lakers players seemed to be in good condition. The one-year-old Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, whether it was playing time or statistics, fell again and continued to refresh his career low.

Fortunately, the Lakers signed a strong support Ulrich during the offseason, which added firepower to the Lakers from the bench, and also relieved Michael Thompson's burden, allowing Thompson to replace Kareem Abdul-Jabbar to play longer.

After defeating the Mavericks, they rushed back to Los Angeles overnight and will face the Warriors at home.

This heavyweight match is more like an opening match.

The Warriors did not rush to Los Angeles that night, but departed early the next morning and arrived in Los Angeles by plane, but they never thought that Li Weisi bumped into Marisa who came to pick him up at the airport.

"Why are you here?" Li Weisi asked in surprise.

However, Marisa did not answer immediately, but first gave Li Weisi a big hug.

"Huh~~~" Duckworth and the others made tooth-piercing voices behind Li Weisi.

"Go, go, don't make trouble here!" After releasing Li Weisi, Marisa yelled at the teammates behind her.

"Hahaha, I didn't expect Marisa to be shy!" Rodman clapped his hands and laughed.

"Fuck you, who is shy, I just think you guys are an eyesore!" After getting acquainted with Li Weisi's teammates, Marisa and them will often joke like this.

A group of people laughed loudly and ran away, leaving a little space for the two of them.

"These guys are getting more and more annoying."

"You haven't said yet, why are you here? Is the movie finished?" Li Weisi asked again.

"Well, the filming is over. I finished filming the day before yesterday. I came to Los Angeles with Jack yesterday. I originally planned to go back today. I never thought about it. I heard Jack said that the Warriors will come to Los Angeles tonight. I planned to surprise you. Marisa, who was originally happily explaining to Li Weisi, suddenly changed her expression, "Where's Peter? Didn't you bring Peter?"

Li Weisi looked at Marisa like a fool, "Marisa, I'm here to play, why did I bring Peter with me?"

Hearing what Li Weisi said, Marisa immediately came to her senses. Obviously, she just asked this question because she missed her son and thought that her IQ was short-circuited.

"I miss my son too much! Well, stop talking here, let's go back to the hotel!" Marisa hurriedly pulled Li Weisi and walked towards the airport exit. As for the reason, it might be to cover up the embarrassment just now. Or maybe... who knows!
At the Great Western Forum that night, Marisa appeared next to the Lakers mascot Nicholson. Nicholson moved his camera forward in order to watch the game. At the same time, it is also amazing.

With Duckworth and Kareem coming to the jump ball in the middle circle, the game officially began.

Malone missed today's game because it was back-to-back.

After the game started, no one thought that Duckworth would lose the jump ball, and after Kareem Abdul-Jabbar grabbed the ball, the Lakers still let the magician control the ball and push back as before.

However, the Warriors were no longer familiar with the Lakers. When the Lakers got the ball, everyone quickly returned to defense, and did not give the Lakers a chance to break fast.

Seeing that there was nothing to take advantage of, Magic Johnson was about to dribble the ball across the frontcourt first. Unexpectedly, a figure wearing a No. 23 jersey appeared in front of him, and he used a pressure on him.

The person who came was naturally Richmond.

Whether it's the Warriors or most other teams, they generally don't use point guards to defend Magic Johnson. There is no way, Johnson is too tall.

Even the Warriors shooting guard Richmond is still 10cm shorter than Johnson.

Fortunately, Richmond's weight is only a little lighter than Johnson's, and in terms of tonnage, he can barely match his position.

Faced with Richmond's pressing, Johnson naturally responded calmly. After all, as a top-level dribbling master in history, even if the dribbling point is high, it is still not enough for Richmond, a first-year rookie, to snatch it.

Johnson's dribbling has a very low center of gravity, and he often bends over. At the same time, he will use his body and butt to block when facing pressure. Therefore, Richmond's efforts will not succeed after all.

However, Richmond had no intention of snatching the ball directly from Johnson. No matter how confident he was, he was not so confident.

He did this naturally to slow down Johnson's rhythm so that he could not play fast breaks like he used to. From this point of view, Richmond's defense was successful.

After falling into position, the Lakers' off-ball players began to run, but ten seconds later, neither Scott nor Worthy had a chance.

Whether it is Mu Lin or Li Weisi, they are like a piece of dog skin plaster, sticking to their respective defensive targets.

Especially Li Weisi, unlike last season, this season his defense is quite aggressive, and his constant physical contact and rough-and-tumble made Scott very uncomfortable.

Seeing that the 24 seconds were getting less and less, Johnson decided to play the ball by himself.

He stepped hard on the ground and broke through to Richmond's left side. However, Richmond's reaction was also quick, directly blocking Johnson's advancing route.

However, Johnson had no intention of directly breaking through Richmond in this way. After he felt Richmond's movement, he immediately turned around and used a back hit to push Richmond inside.

Compared with playing face-to-face, Johnson is obviously better at back-ups. After all, regardless of his height and weight, his back-ups are full of threats.

However, this back hit, Johnson hit three times in a row, but found that the rookie behind him was not moving at all. Johnson just didn't get to the position he wanted.

The ultimate goal of this kind of back attack is to adjust the shooting rhythm and grab the position. Now the position can't be grabbed, but there is almost no time. Johnson has no choice but to turn around and shoot. Facing Richmond's block, in the Take a step outside the free throw line and shoot a long two-pointer.

A hasty shot will naturally not have a good result. The basketball bounced high on the rim, and then Duckworth protected the rebound.

After getting the ball, the Warriors naturally had to push back and counterattack, and Richmond even took the lead and rushed to the front.

Li Weisi's pass will naturally not disappoint Richmond's running. When Richmond is close to the three-point line, Li Weisi's long pass has sent the ball in front of Richmond.

Li Weisi's pass was very artistic. He was not a quarterback pass like before, but a ground-hit pass, and the position of the ground-hit was actually in front of Richmond.

When everyone thought it was a mistake, the basketball actually hit the floor and bounced back to Richmond.

It's spinning!Li Weisi puts spin on the ball!Johnson, who was following Richmond, immediately understood Li Weisi's operation.

Richmond received the ball very comfortably, chose to take off without slowing down, and successfully dunked with both hands. Johnson, who followed closely behind, although he had judged Richmond's move, ultimately did not choose to block the shot because he knew , if I do this, then the exchange must be two plus one.
