Soul of the Golden State

Chapter 488 Three Points at the Buzzer
Such a start was indeed beyond the expectations of the Bulls, especially Jordan, who abandoned the triangle tactics from the first round, which Jackson did not expect.

In his opinion, Jordan's professionalism is still fine. At most, at the end of the game, he is eager to win and ignores his own tactics. This is understandable.

But like today, once you come up, you don't care about it, like a firecracker that is ignited, and there is a danger of exploding at any time.

Jackson called a timeout. Although the point difference was not big at the beginning, Jackson already felt that Jordan could no longer be allowed to continue like this.

During the timeout, Jackson did not criticize Jordan, but instead said that there was a problem with the team's overall offense. In this way, even if he didn't say it explicitly, Jordan knew he was talking about himself.

This timeout was called very timely, and Jordan, who was hotheaded, finally had a chance to cool down his head.

It stands to reason that although Jordan is very proud, he is not an impulsive person. A situation like this will probably only appear in the game against Li Weisi.

In short, after the timeout, Jordan finally regained his sanity, and the Bulls' offense also got on track.

The Warriors' defensive ability at this time is indeed good, but if you really want to use someone to defend Jordan alone, and want to completely prevent him, then there is really no one, Richmond can't, Lewis can't, Rodman is the same no.

The most important point of the triangle offense is to create more comfortable offensive opportunities for Jordan. Even if it is a heads-up, it is much easier than starting a heads-up by himself.

As Jordan's offense returned to normal, the point difference established by the Warriors was soon caught up. Although the Warriors still lead, the point difference is almost negligible in this long game.

Fortunately, for the Warriors, Li Weisi also performed well. Although the Bulls let Jordan defend, they still could not completely restrain Li Weisi, which also allowed the Warriors to maintain their lead over the Bulls.

The Warriors led the Bulls by 29 points at 26:3 in the first quarter.

This season, although the Bulls are actively signing in, the effect is not obvious, and the strength of the bench is still not comparable to that of the Warriors after a major injury.

With Pippen's continuous improvement this season, he can now support the team's offense without Jordan on the court. This is very important, and he puts a lot of pressure on Jordan's shoulders.

It is also the case that the Bulls were not opened by the Warriors during the bench stage.

The two teams played until the second quarter, and when they returned to the starting lineup, the score was already tight.

Not only that, but as the game progressed, the Warriors' offense began to become more and more difficult.

In the starting lineup of the Warriors, except for Li Weisi, everyone else is basically the end point. Therefore, in the offense, the Warriors have not changed as much as before, especially when playing positional warfare. As the Bulls gradually get used to the defense, the Warriors The offensive efficiency has also begun to decline.

Fortunately, the Bulls did not adapt to the Warriors' defense tonight, and their shooting percentage was not high, which allowed the Warriors to maintain the lead and not be overtaken by the Bulls.

But even so, the situation is still precarious for the Warriors, and there is a danger of being overtaken at any time.

Before halftime, the Warriors led the Bulls by 1 point, and the Bulls had the last chance to attack. As long as this ball is scored, the Bulls will overtake the score.

Jordan faced Lewis' defense, which really made Jordan a lot of happy, and he could just take this opportunity to wash away the shame that Lewis brought to him in the first quarter.

Tonight, Jordan's touch was mediocre, and after Nelson found that Lewis was better at defending Jordan, he decisively let Lewis defend Jordan and Richmond defended Pippen.

However, it is impossible to expect Lewis to completely limit Jordan. It was only with the help of Rodman, Richmond and Duckworth that Jordan scored only 12 points in the first half.

However, due to the change of the Warriors' defensive lineup because of Jordan, Jordan had a lot of assists tonight, and he has sent 6 assists at this time.

But for the last ball, Lewis, who was defending Jordan, believed that Jordan would not pass but chose to attack by himself.

Sure enough, Jordan started from near the free throw line and broke through to the weak side. Lewis followed closely behind without giving way.

Immediately afterwards, Jordan made an emergency stop jump shot, and his whole body floated to the side and rear. However, Lewis seemed to predict Jordan's action, and directly pressed the ball from Jordan's hand.

This is Lewis' second block against Jordan tonight!

Damn, how the hell am I being fooled by this guy again?
However, at this moment, Jordan couldn't care less about losing face. He was more worried about losing the ball than losing face. Seeing that the ball was out of control, Jordan immediately wanted to grab it back, but Lewis had already given the ball to Li Weisi.

Li Weisi, who was standing near his own three-point line, received the ball, and with his strictly protected eyes with a vision of 1.5, he saw the timer on the opposite side, and there was less than the last second left.

Li Weisi didn't have time to dribble, so he took a step forward and threw the ball out at the same time. Because the distance was too far, Li Weisi couldn't guarantee the original shooting posture, so he could only use a push shot.

Fortunately, shooting like this requires a shorter shooting time. When he completes the shot, the time will officially return to zero.

With the sound of the timer, the basketball flew over half of the basketball court and plunged into the basket. It was still a hollow ball and didn't even touch the basket.

"Wow!!!" After the scene paused for three seconds, enthusiastic cheers erupted immediately. Rodman of the Warriors jumped onto Li Weisi's back excitedly, but was pushed away by Li Weisi.

Are you kidding me, you weigh 180 pounds, how the hell can I bear it?I am not Dayao.

Looking at Li Weisi surrounded by the crowd, Jordan was in a very complicated mood at this time. Li Weisi made a good shot this time, but it was just luck. Jordan didn't believe that Li Weisi could score every ball!Otherwise, why would he dribble the ball across half court, and just shoot the ball immediately after serving and it's over.

What really annoyed him was that he was covered by this unknown guy again!Is it over yet?
Lewis did not surround Li Weisi to celebrate with them. Of course, he also raised his hands to celebrate Li Weisi from the air.

However, when he saw Jordan looking at him viciously, he felt a little terrified. This look was really scary.

As for being able to block Jordan twice, there are elements of Jordan's carelessness, of course, there are also his observations on Jordan when he played with Jordan during the summer training camp, and the analysis of Jordan that Li Weisi explained to him.

At that time, he just listened to it, but he didn't expect it to be really effective in tonight's game.

Thinking of this, Lewis felt that more than half of his credit belonged to Li Weisi, so he felt that he deserved it. When he saw Jordan's eyes, he gave an embarrassed smile.

But this smile is even more dazzling in Jordan's eyes!
Sure enough, there is no good person in the Warriors!It's all so nasty!
