Soul of the Golden State

Chapter 490 Back on track
The victory of this game, for the Warriors, is simply the rain after a long drought. It is not that this victory can affect the ranking, but the victory of this game has revived the Warriors' low morale.

The previous stage was hell-like for the Warriors and generals, under tremendous pressure, but now with Li Weisi's comeback, they found that all difficulties were easily solved, and they had someone in their hearts.

Sometimes the role of the team leader is not only reflected on the court, but also off the court. As long as Li Weisi stands by their side, even if they don't say a word, they can feel at ease and unite around Li Weisi independently, and the chaos will suddenly change. Into a solid cement, the kind of reinforced concrete.

This is the true role of a team leader, and Li Weisi is like this now. Although he is the last in the team in age, and although he is not tall enough, he is a banner of the Warriors and can inspire the Warriors. heart.

After defeating the Bulls, there was no time to rest. The next day, the Warriors had to face the challenge of the Knicks.

This season, the Knicks changed their coach again. Under the leadership of the new coach Stu Jackson, the Knicks started with a strong momentum. So far this season, they have 8 wins and 4 losses, temporarily ranking first in the Eastern Conference.

Yes, you can rank first in the Eastern Conference with the same record as the Warriors, not because the Eastern Conference teams are weak, but because the Eastern Conference teams are too introverted. In the season, with the implementation of malicious fouls, the Pistons encountered certain troubles. The record was hindered and it took time to adapt, which gave other teams the opportunity to narrow the gap.

Therefore, tonight's game is still a strong dialogue. The Knicks are playing away, and the Warriors are not waiting for work. The two sides are at the same starting line.

During the game, Knicks star Patrick Ewing showed off his team leader demeanor. He defended against Duckworth and Divac in turn. Ewing caused a total of 10 fouls. Duckworth graduates with 6 offenses.

As a result, at the end of the game, the Warriors could only put Divac, who was still a rookie, on the court, but Divac was obviously not Ewing's opponent.

In desperation, the Warriors could only let Rodman top Ewing in the end.

Although it is impossible for Rodman to guard Ewing, at least he will not make Ewing as easy as in shooting training like Divac did.

In addition, if you can't defend against Ewing, you need to use offense to keep the Warriors maintaining the score. Fortunately, the rest of the Warriors feel good tonight, and Li Weisi's touch is even more frightening to Mark Jackson. No matter how you defend, you will defend Can't live.

As a result, the Warriors successfully dragged the game into. In this situation where the stars of the two sides exploded each other, the scores of the two teams were also sky high.

In the end, the Warriors relied on Li Weisi to attract double-teams and assisted Lewis, who was open, to hit the key mid-range. This sealed the victory and narrowly beat the Knicks 131:129.

In this campaign, Ewing made 27 of 17 shots and scored 44 points and 24 rebounds. Li Weisi also made 24 of 15 shots, 8 of 5 three-pointers, and scored 41 points and 12 assists.

But no one expected that the two achieved such impressive statistics, but it was Lewis again who ultimately decided the outcome of the match.

The small forward, who scored 19 points and 5 rebounds tonight, made another splash.

For two consecutive days, through blocks and lore, respectively, they helped the team defeat strong opponents in a row. This made Lewis, who had been unknown before, really popular, and his popularity was like a rocket, soaring.

For a while, all media reporters from all walks of life surrounded Lewis. Interviewing this shy young player once caused jealousy in the hearts of other Warriors players.

They also want flashlights, they also want microphones, and they want more attention, except for Li Weisi, after all, for Li Weisi, these have long been his daily life, and he doesn't think there is any problem at all.

In short, with Li Weisi's comeback, even away from the Bulls and the Knicks, the Warriors finally stopped the bleeding, and the previous precarious situation was eased.

Then, in December, the Warriors defeated the Blazers, Bucks and Mavericks successively, plus the Red Bulls and Knicks they defeated before. This wave of five consecutive victories, whether it is gold or excitement, has fans talking about it. .

During the offseason of this season, the Blazers used Sam Bowie and the 89 first-round pick to trade from the Nets for the star of the Nets, Buck Williams.

Speaking of Buck Williams, his real name is actually Charles Lynwood Williams, like the magician, because his nickname "buck" is so famous that people call him that.

Although his height is not high, only 203cm, he has always served as a power forward or even a center in the Nets, and although he is not a superstar, he has also been selected as an All-Star three times and won two defensive teams. Second team twice.

Such a player is very urgently needed for today's Trail Blazers. With the help of Buck Williams, the Trail Blazers once surpassed the Warriors to rank second in the Western Conference this season.

However, in this game against the Warriors, although Drexler, Williams and Clifford Robinson all scored more than 20+ points, and Terry Porter had 17 assists, they still scored 110:123. Lost to the Warriors.

As for the Bucks, there has been a big change in the lineup this season. The team's All-Star power forward Terry Cummings was traded to the Spurs in exchange for the "stealer king" Alvin Robertson, and the team's veteran Moncrief , He announced his retirement during the offseason. He is only 32 years old. For a guard, he should be at the end of his peak, but due to injuries, Moncrief still announced his retirement.

Even so, after the start of the game, the Bucks' record has little impact, and they are still ranked in the top eight in the Eastern Conference. It can only be said that Nelson's legacy to this team is too rich, enough to make the Bucks lose for many years. .

In the end, the Warriors defeated the Bucks 101:98. The Warriors didn’t feel good this night, so they could only rely on defense to limit the Bucks’ scoring. Fortunately, with Li Weisi’s key goal, they won the game without any risk. .

As for the Mavericks, this season is also not good. Due to the trade of the team leader Aguirre, Dantley is 33 years old after all, and his career has come to the end, which is not very helpful to the Mavericks.

This made the team stretched in terms of rotation. Compared with the heyday of the Mavericks the year before, it was already in decline. Fortunately, the background was still there, which brought a lot of trouble to the Warriors.

The Warriors finally beat the Mavericks by one point 108:107.
