Soul of the Golden State

Chapter 45
The score was 6 to 2. Although the point difference was not big, it put a lot of pressure on the hearts of the Suns players.

Sure enough, in the next attack, Davis missed a shot. Malone grabbed the rebound and quickly handed it to Li Weisi.

When advancing to the three-point line, Li Weisi chose a three-point shot again as expected.

At this time, Humphreys and Pinckney, who had already retreated to the free throw line to defend, were obviously caught off guard by Li Weisi's three-pointer.

This is a fast break!Who's crazy to shoot a [-] at this point?
This time, Don Nelson was already numb, and he stopped holding his head. Instead, he folded his hands in his arms and swore to himself that as long as he missed a three-pointer, he would be replaced. It was too easy to get on the ball.

"Shh..."

The basketball entered the net once again, and Li Weisi, with a calm expression, had already started to retreat. What he didn't know was that if the goal didn't go in, he might be replaced by Nelson.

However, even if he knew, Li Weisi didn't care. The rhythm was right and he didn't defend. He didn't think his shot selection was wrong, and the facts proved it.

9 to 2, the Suns quickly called a timeout.

The Suns were stopped by Li Weisi's three opening three-pointers.

"Beautiful! Did you see, Old Wang, my son is amazing, this shot is really accurate!" Li Wantang was smiling all over his face at this time, and his mouth was almost grinning to the ear.

"Amazing! Dare to shoot from such a distance, I never thought that we Chinese could produce a basketball star!" Pharaoh, who was still waiting for his meal, also praised repeatedly at this time.

"That is, you don't want to see whose son it is?" Li Wantang said very proudly.

"Come on, don't put money on your face. However, Xiao Si is really good. I will tell my son when I go back tonight that Chinatown has finally produced a star. We need to let everyone know about it."

Lao Wang's words immediately aroused Li Wantang's thoughts, and his brows were frowned together, as if he was thinking about something.

"Look, look, the game has started." Lao Wang's words interrupted Li Wantang's thinking, and Li Wantang subconsciously looked back at the screen.

After the timeout, the Suns made a targeted defense against Li Weisi.

Of course, this is something a fool can predict. Li Weisi is so accurate, if he doesn't step up his defense, is he going to let Li Weisi turn the game into a shooting practice?
Davis of the Suns took the ball again at the corner of the diamond and made a steady hit for the hour.

Looking back, when Li Weisi and Ma Long played the pick-and-roll again, Li Weisi found that Adams was already in front of him. He was nearly 2.1 meters tall and raised his hands, completely blocking Li Weisi's shooting sight.

Li Weisi, who could no longer see the frame, did not panic at all. After making a breakthrough, he immediately hit the ground and passed the ball to Ma Long who was about to come down.

The ball came right in front of Malone, a very comfortable pass. After receiving the ball, Malone dunked Larry Nance, who was a step slower across the defense, with both hands, and his muscles collided, forcing Larry Nance to hit flew.

The Warriors' offense was unstoppable.

In the ensuing game, the Suns' defense was completely out of order.

After being slid three times by Malone, Adams didn't dare to rush forward too fiercely. As a result, Li Weisi made another cold shot from outside the three-point line, which completely discouraged the Suns.

首节太阳以25-37落后，李为思单人单节三分5投4中，砍下16分3助攻。

In the stage of coming off the bench, because most of the Warriors' benches were rookies, and Li Weisi played too hard in the first half of the first quarter, Nelson didn't let Li Weisi lead the bench. Made a 12-4 spurt.

Although Mark Price has an excellent basketball IQ and precise shooting, he is still too young as a rookie at this time, and there is still a big gap between him and a monster like Li Weisi.

At the critical moment, Nelson immediately replaced Chris Mullin, and let Malone and Li Weisi continue to rest. Today Mullin did not drink, and he was in very good condition. He stabilized the situation with two mid-range shots.

So in the second quarter, it was time for Mullin to perform. Outside shots and inside bursts, even if Ma Long and Li Weisi came back, they still had to call 666 for Mullin.

Scoring 11 points in a single quarter, Mullin helped the Warriors stabilize the score and continued to lead the Suns 72-59 at halftime.

That's right, don't subconsciously think that you are dreaming back to 2020 when you see such a big score. At this time, the NBA is in the period of offensive basketball.

In addition, the Suns team is an offensive team. Last season, they averaged 110 points per game. Of course, they also averaged 113 points per game against their opponents. The typical offense is strong and the defense is weak. Therefore, they want to rely on defense to stop the Warriors. scores are unrealistic.

In desperation, they could only choose to fight against the Warriors, which hit the Warriors' arms and created such a high score.

At the beginning of the third quarter, because the Suns could not limit Li Weisi, their inside and outside lines were completely lost, and their defense was useless. In the second half, Li Weisi reduced his desire to attack and began to frequently send out more assists. Dealing cards online has led to the full blooming of the Warriors, and Malone is even more at home, so happy.

Due to the frequent change of tactics in the preseason, everyone played very poorly, but today's game was different. Li Weisi set the tone at the beginning, and everything went smoothly.

So after three quarters, the Warriors have led the Suns by 108 points 85-23. Seeing this situation, after playing 2 minutes in the fourth quarter and seeing no hope of chasing points, the Suns coach John McLeod replaced all the starters. , announcing surrender.

Although the 49-year-old John is in the golden age of the coach, he has a sad face. The Suns and the Warriors are both brothers and sisters in the Western Conference. Last season, the two teams were the bottom one and the other the bottom three.

Originally, I thought I could take advantage of the opponent's big change to win the next game today, but I didn't expect that the result was a disastrous defeat.

It's like two deskmates in the class who didn't study well in the original class. Everyone lived in peace with each other, but one day, the student who was the last one suddenly improved by dozens of places and became a good student. Classmates can get at least ten catties of lemons.

Originally, the management was a little dissatisfied with John, but now after this incident, the management may be even more dissatisfied with himself after comparing them. It seems that his coaching in the Suns has entered the countdown, right?
The abandonment of the Suns caused the fourth quarter to be completely reduced to garbage time. The home fans left the field early. The failure to make the playoffs last season made the fans full of fantasies about this season, but now it is the first game and they are pushed to the ground Friction, how can we not be resentful?
In the end, the score was fixed at 135-117. Although the Suns' substitute launched a counterattack in the second half of the fourth quarter, they had no choice but to leave too little time for the Suns, and there was no hope of a comeback in the end.

Li Weisi played 28 minutes in three quarters, made 9 of 7 three-pointers and 15 of 11 shots. He scored 31 points, 8 assists, and 3 steals. He became the MVP of the game.

In addition, Moses Malone scored a double-double of 31 points and 22 rebounds in 12 minutes, and Chris Mullin scored 28 points with more than 24% shooting in [-] minutes.

The three scored 20 points in a game, and the Warriors showed their terrifying offensive firepower to the entire league in their first game.
