Soul of the Golden State

Chapter 441 Clean them up
The players on the court are still working hard, working hard for every offensive round, but Magic Johnson, who is sitting off the court, is covering his head with a towel, panting heavily motionless.

He was tired, not only physically, but also mentally.

Tonight, two days had passed since losing Game [-] of the Western Conference Finals. Before he could feel depressed, he threw himself into Game [-] again.

Compared with the previous game where they dug a big hole, the Lakers have been in a stalemate with the Warriors since the beginning of tonight's game, and the Warriors did not let the Warriors open the score.

This situation lasted until the third quarter. They were only three points behind, and they suddenly saw the legendary scoring explosive power of the Warriors.

This kind of scoring explosive power, Magic Johnson has never seen before. It has always been their Lakers who beat their opponents to the ground. But today, he has finally seen what his opponent feels like.

The start of this attack was started by a three-pointer from Mullin.

Immediately after Worthy missed a layup, the Warriors counterattacked and Richmond made a layup.

Then the Warriors suddenly pressed the audience. They made a pass error and were intercepted by Rodman.

Then Scott missed a three-pointer, the Warriors pushed back and counterattacked, and Li Weisi made a three-pointer.

In the end, he hung the inside line by himself, Thompson's hook was blocked by Rodman, and he counterattacked again. When he was retreating, he saw that Li Weisi was about to shoot after passing the three-point line. He had no time to block the shot, so he could only watch Li Weisi throw this shot Record the ultra-long three-pointer and hit it again.

In just a few short rounds, almost in the blink of an eye, the point difference between the two teams changed from 1 point to 15 points in an instant.

After that, although he hit a mid-range jumper and broke the scoring drought, the situation of the entire game has long since changed.

At this time, there was less than 1 minute left before the end of the third quarter. The Lakers were already 20 points behind, and he had a little rest time before 1 minute.

"What are you doing?" Just as the magician was still lamenting the Warriors' chasing points just now, the towel on his head was taken off, interrupting Johnson's thinking.

"It's okay!" Magic Johnson glanced at Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, who had always been withdrawn, showed his signature smile, and shook his head.

"Still thinking about the game just now?" Although the magician pretended to be nonchalant, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar said bluntly.

"That's right! What a terrifying attack!" Seeing that he couldn't get over it, Magic Johnson had to affirm.

"Yeah, I never knew before that basketball can still be played like this. A series of three-point shots roared in, and the point difference instantly became uncontrollable. This kind of offensive method is even scarier than our 'showtime'!" Kareem Abdul-Jabbar was also very emotional and heaved a long sigh of relief.

Then he looked at Magic Johnson again, and suddenly smiled and said, "But it's okay, I won't meet you in the future, and I will leave you with a headache."

"Ha, are you backing down now? What a deserter!" It is rare for Kareem to joke, and Johnson's mood suddenly improved a lot, and Kareem's retirement joked.

"I'm old, I'm not a deserter, I'm a retired soldier! I can no longer help you on the court, Magic, you need to walk the next road by yourself."

Faced with Kareem's sudden "affection", Magic Johnson felt a little at a loss. He hurriedly said, "What are you talking about! Kareem, why don't you fight with me for another year?"

"Don't be funny, I have participated in the tour for a year this year, and I said that I will play for another year. I guess the fans will come to me to get back the tears they shed before." Kareem Abdul-Jabbar shook his head with a smile, and then Looking at the stadium, looking at the field where he has played for 20 years, his eyes are full of reluctance.

"What's more, in the face of this extremely changing league, I feel that I am really getting used to the court, you know? I am very afraid to switch against West, because in front of him, I always feel that I Like a fool." Kareem shrugged, although there was a smile on his face, but it was filled with a kind of lifeless bitterness.

Maybe he doesn't want to give up this arena, but unfortunately, time won't give him another chance.

Thinking of this, the magician felt that his fatigued body was suddenly swept away and instantly filled with strength.

"Yeah, this is Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's last term, how can I be so discouraged, I have to let him have no regrets, at least give him a three-peat as a parting gift?" Thinking of this, Magic Johnson's fighting spirit is back again.

At this time, the referee's whistle sounded, indicating the official end of the third quarter of the game.

And this whistle also brought Magic Johnson back to reality. He glanced at the scoreboard, and his heart suddenly became cold. At 71:94, the Lakers were already behind by as much as 23 points.

Faced with such a big point difference, Magic Johnson felt that his future was bleak, but he did not give up. He decided to try again without taking a break in the fourth quarter. Riley also supported this point. In the playoffs, it would be a pity to give up like this.

In this way, at the beginning of the fourth quarter, Magic Johnson and Scott stayed on the court, with three substitutes, and started chasing points towards the Warriors again.

However, tonight, the Warriors not only performed well in the starting lineup, Price's performance on the bench tonight is also very impressive.

Facing Michael Cooper, who once won the best defensive player, Price played with ease. Whether he was shooting or passing the ball, Cooper's defense was useless.

Under his leadership, the Warriors' substitutes were not afraid of the mixed lineup of the Lakers led by Johnson. Although Johnson once recovered 10 points, just when Nelson couldn't sit still and was about to replace the Warriors' starting lineup, Price At this time, he stood up, made a three-pointer, made a foul, and immediately stabilized the score, which also interrupted the Lakers' pursuit of points, and made Li Weisi, who had already got up, sit back again.

After that, the Lakers could not set off any offensive climax again. Seeing that there was no hope of chasing points, Riley finally replaced both Magic Johnson and Scott, replaced them with a pure substitute lineup, and declared his surrender.

Johnson was a little reconciled, but he knew in his heart that what Riley did was right, and he could only walk off the stage with annoyance.

"Thank you, Magic!" Kareem Abdul-Jabbar was the first to give him a high-five.

"Sorry, Kareem, I didn't get the game back," Johnson sighed.

"It's okay, what you did couldn't be more perfect! Let's go back to Los Angeles next time and clean them up!" Kareem Abdul-Jabbar laughed again.

"Yeah, go back, clean them up!" Johnson also showed his white teeth again.

"This is the magician I know! He always smiles like this!"
