Soul of the Golden State

Chapter 527 Another record
After finishing the birthday party for Master Peter during the day, at night, the whole family mobilized and came to the home court of the Warriors to cheer for Li Weisi.

When Marisa appeared in the arena with Peter in her arms, she was no less popular than Li Weisi.

Fans transfer their love for Li Weisi to Peter, and he has inherited his parents' handsome face. Although he is only two years old, he has a clear outline and is as cute as a porcelain doll.

Watching little Peter grow up day by day has also made Peter the heart and soul of the people of Jinzhou. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is the son of Jinzhou.

Even before the start of the game, under Frank's signal, Wei Wei's godson played the birthday song, which caused the audience to sing in chorus. Even Li Weisi himself did not receive such treatment.

The happy time is always short, as the whistle sounded, the fans began to focus on the court.

Today's opponent of the Warriors is the Atlanta Hawks, an old acquaintance.

The Eagles this season have the same fate as the Warriors, suffering a serious wave of injuries, with guards John Battelle, Doc Rivers and backups Cliff Livingston and Joan Concak all injured. I have been on the sick list. Although it seems that the situation is not as bad as the Warriors, the Eagles themselves are not as strong as the Warriors, and the risks they can resist are naturally not as good as the Warriors, not to mention that Wilkins is not Li Weisi.

Therefore, the team has officially missed 50 wins in four consecutive seasons this season, and now it has to compete with the Pacers for the eighth position in the East, and it is even currently at a disadvantage, two wins behind the Pacers.

Facing the schedule with less than a month left, the Eagles have a difficult task, and they cannot afford to lose any game.

Therefore, even though they knew that facing the Warriors tonight was more or less auspicious, they still went all out and showed momentum in the opening game, launching a vigorous offensive battle with the Warriors.

As the core of the Eagles, Wilkins took the lead. He rarely faced Lewis' defense at the beginning, hit the mid-range consecutively, and then blocked Richmond on the defensive end, and succeeded in a flying dunk in the fast break.

Relying on Wilkins' strong performance at the beginning of the game, the Eagles once led by 8 points, but then, as the Warriors gained a firm foothold, Li Weisi and Richmond each hit a three-pointer, and the point difference was close. He was chased up again.

In this way, in the first quarter, the offensive efficiency of both teams was very high, the score was also 39:36, and the Eagles led by 3 points.

Song Tao didn't get a chance to play in the first quarter, and he didn't make his official debut until the second quarter.

This year, the Eagles brought a player from the former Soviet Union named Alexander Volkov, whose height and weight matched Song Tao's, and also had a three-pointer, which reduced Song Tao's playing time again.

Although Song Tao has played in the NBA for three years, he has not been able to gain a firm foothold in the NBA. His experience has increased, but he still does not meet the needs of the Eagles. Therefore, the Eagles are no longer ready to renew his contract.

In the contract year, he has to compete with his competitors for playing time. It can be said that Song Tao's life in the NBA is becoming more and more difficult.

In the contest with Schramf tonight, he also didn't take advantage of it. He played for just over 3 minutes before being replaced.

This made Song Tao very disappointed. Sitting at the end of the bench, watching Li Weisi galloping on the field, he couldn't help feeling sour. If he could play like Li Weisi, it would be great!
In the second quarter, the shooting percentages of the two teams have declined, but despite the increase in iron production, the point difference between the two teams has not changed much.

However, the Eagles still entered the second half with a 7-point lead.

In the third quarter, Li Weisi finally began to show his killer qualities.

With a three-pointer after a pick-and-roll, the Warriors set off a wave of counterattacks after detonating the audience.

The Eagles on the court only felt that the offensive rhythm suddenly became faster and faster. The Warriors played very easily, but the Eagles themselves kept making mistakes.

Whether the pass was interrupted or the shot was missed, the Warriors could always launch waves of counterattacks. For a while, all the Eagles could do was to keep running with the Warriors.

It's no wonder that, with the decline of the Eagles' shooting percentage and the improvement of the Warriors' defensive quality, the Eagles obviously failed to adapt to the Warriors' defense.

At the same time, with Li Weisi's consecutive three-pointers, the Eagles' defensive energy was too concentrated on Li Weisi, which made Li Weisi's thinking attractive and created many opportunities for his teammates to score easily.

This gave the Eagles the illusion that the Warriors were playing more and more easily, but the point difference was unknowingly smoothed out, overtaken, and then widened.

In this way, the Eagles, who originally led by 7 points, fell behind by 7 points and entered the fourth quarter after being manipulated by the Warriors in the third quarter.

Throughout the third quarter, the Eagles only scored 17 points.

During this period, Eagles Bishop "Bantam" Fratello also tried to make adjustments through timeouts and substitutions, but with little success.

In addition, Wilkins, who was in good form in the first half, also dropped his shooting percentage in this quarter, making the team unable to withstand the pressure and continue to fire when the team needed him most to score. more and more passive.

Fortunately, after entering the fourth quarter, the state of the Eagles finally recovered. "Little Potato" Webber hit a jumper in the opening game, and then the team's substitute boss John Lang scored 4 points from inside and outside. , Finally, the Eagles' offense returned to normal, and the point difference was reduced to less than 5 points.

In this way, until the two sides returned to the starting lineup, the Warriors always led by 3 to 5 points.

But shortly after returning, Wilkins showed his team's star demeanor, hitting two key goals in a row, helping the team narrow the point difference to one point.

Seeing that the game entered the most intense stage, Li Weisi passed the ball directly from the three-point line to Rodman who slipped to the bottom line through the pick-and-roll and succeeded in the alley-oop. Hit a priceless jumper.

So far, the precarious point difference has been stabilized again.

With the momentum of chasing points this time, it was interrupted strongly by Li Weisi again, and the Eagles missed the last chance to chase points again. Since then, although the point difference between the two teams was not high, the Eagles have never been able to overtake the score and finally scored 112:116 Lost the game.

Li Weisi continued to perform strongly in this game, scoring 35 points and 14 assists. This is the 30th time he has scored 30+10 data this season. Since the merger of the NBA and the ABA, only Karl Malone has achieved such data. did.

However, compared with Malone, Li Weisi's 30 points plus 10 assists is more difficult.

In addition, due to the drop in Li Weisi's scoring in February and March, Jordan has slowly caught up with him in terms of average points per game. At present, the difference in points between the two is only 1.3 points, and this is for Jordan. It is not an unattainable gap.
