Chapter 518 White Hot Stage

Chapter 518 White Hot Stage
After the All-Star Game, the Warriors had a rare two-day break, and there was no game until the 15th.

During this period, Hornacek finally ushered in a comeback on this day because of his recovery from his injury.

During the period of Hornacek's absence, the Warriors' bench lineup was full of strength, but there was no way to use it, so that the Warriors' bench that was originally used to fill holes became a small expert at digging holes.

Li Weisi had to face it, leading off the court, and when he returned to the court again, he often needed to chase points, which seriously disrupted Li Weisi's own game rhythm.

And when Hornacek returned, the team finally had an organizational point on the bench, unifying the benches who had been fighting separately to form a powerful fist.

On the 15th, the Warriors ushered in a challenge from the Washington Bullets at home.

As a frequent visitor to the playoffs in previous years, last season's lottery champion, the Bullets' record has further declined this season, and it seems that they are not even eligible to compete for playoff tickets.

It is impossible to say that I am not in a hurry.

As the star of the team, Jeff Malone averaged a career-high 24.3 points per game this season, and another star of the team, Bernard King, suffered a career-destroying injury like a torn knee ligament. , Can still average 22.4 points, 4.9 rebounds and 4.6 assists per game. You know, this was the 80s, and the level of medical care can't be compared with 30 years later.

It's a pity that the excellent data of the two did not help the team win. Facing the Warriors that night, the two joined hands again and contributed 54 points, but the team lost to the Warriors 107:123.

Hornacek's return was immediate, allowing the team to maintain their offensive power and not be chased after Li Weisi left the field.

And Li Weisi also played a lot easier, and finally someone was able to share the organizational burden for him.

After playing the Bullets, the Warriors had no time to adjust and flew to Phoenix to challenge the Suns.

As the second echelon team in the Western Conference, the Suns' performance this season is not good. Due to the strong rise of the Spurs, the Suns are only ranked sixth in the Western Conference.

However, with the deepening of the season, especially since January, Tim Hardaway's ability has gradually improved, and both scoring and assists have also risen with the tide. Very tight, there is hope of surpassing the Jazz or even the Spurs at any time.

Tonight, in the face of the Warriors coming from afar, the Suns played very aggressively and took an 11-point lead in the first quarter.

However, the Warriors immediately overtook the score in the second quarter, which did not make the Suns proud for too long.

The subsequent game was quite anxious. The Warriors once overtook the point difference to 7 points, but they were finally chased back by the Suns.

Until the end, with the best 3.2 seconds left before the end of the game, Li Weisi broke through Rambis, who Hardaway and the Suns traded from the Hornets, double-teamed and hit a quasi-lore throw.

Unexpectedly, Hardaway, who came back from the timeout and performed poorly against Li Weisi tonight, actually hit a floating mid-range jumper against Li Weisi's defense.

Although Li Weisi completely covered Hardaway, Hardaway still threw the ball before Li Weisi blocked the shot, and the basketball hit the backboard and bounced into the net.

In this way, Hardaway completed the anti-lore, helping the Suns beat the Warriors 115:114.

Li Weisi never imagined that he, who has always been the lore of others, would become the background board of this first-year rookie tonight.

Although there were back-to-back factors in this defeat, it still made Li Weisi very unhappy. Therefore, only one day later, on the 18th, the two teams returned to the Warriors' home court and fought again in different places.

Tonight Li Weisi vented his anger completely on the court, killing gods when meeting gods, killing Buddhas when meeting Buddhas, no matter who defends Li Weisi, it will not work.

Tim Hardaway, who only made the winning shot against Li Weisi in the last game, was almost stunned by Li Weisi. rub round.

In the end, Li Weisi made 26 of 18 shots and 8 of 8 three-pointers. He scored a season-high 56 points and helped the team beat the Suns 131:113, completely washing away the shame of being a background board.

After the game, Hardaway, with a shy face on his youthful face, stepped forward weakly to shake hands with Li Weisi to congratulate, and said, "Can we exchange jerseys?"

Although Hardaway is actually half a year older than Li Weisi, facing such an omnipotent Li Weisi, Hardaway feels like a child. He has no discomfort at all when Li Weisi teaches him, but thinks it is a matter of course.

Therefore, even when he was blown away by his opponent, he still had the cheek to take the initiative to ask Li Weisi for the jersey.

After the venting of this game, the depression of being lore before had been wiped out. Facing the trembling Hardaway in front of him, Li Weisi readily agreed and exchanged jerseys with him.

Although the jersey was thrown into the closet by him immediately after returning to the locker room, and the whole body was covered with other people's sweat, which was really disgusting. If it had been released before, Li Weisi would never agree to exchange jerseys with the other party.

However, after Frank's persuasion, Li Weisi agreed, and set aside a wall at home to display all kinds of exchanged jerseys, which is another kind of military medal.

After finishing the game against the Suns, the Warriors immediately flew to the Denver Plateau early the next morning, ready to play the second back-to-back.

Compared with the Suns in the second echelon, the Nuggets today have slipped into the third echelon in the West, competing with the Rockets, Mavericks, and Supersonics for the only two remaining playoff spots.

At present, the Nuggets and the Rockets have the same win-loss field. Once they lose, they will be ranked ninth in the West and will be at a disadvantage in this battle.

Therefore, facing the Warriors tonight, the Nuggets have used their lives. The twin stars English and Leaf scored 57 points together, which made the Warriors suffer great difficulties.

Not only that, but under the blessing of negative effects such as fatigue and altitude sickness, the Warriors are equivalent to having several layers of debuffs, which not only reduces defense, but also reduces "measurements", making it extremely difficult for the Warriors to play.

In the end, although Li Weisi still scored 34 points and 10 assists in such an unfavorable situation, the Warriors still lost to the Nuggets 109:114, swallowing the defeat again.

After the loss in this battle, the number of losses accumulated with the Blazers was once again tied by the Blazers. As long as the Blazers beat the Hornets the next day, the records of the two teams will return to the same starting line.

Although relying on the relationship between victory and defeat, the Warriors can still be ranked second in the Western Conference, but this also means that the season's ranking has reached the most intense stage, and if you are not careful, you may lose the second position in the Western Conference.
