Soul of the Golden State

Chapter 577 is West
Li Weisi ran tirelessly in the frontcourt, while Jordan pursued closely behind him. His perseverance was like a dog licking a dog tirelessly pursuing a goddess.

Different from the first half, Li Weisi strengthened his running in the second half. More often, he let Mullin and Richmond organize with the ball, and he began to focus on scoring, and he scored without the ball.

What's more, unlike most good organizers, Li Weisi can organize without the ball. Jordan's stamina.

Tonight's Jordan, the offensive end is almost turning into a bug-level existence. For the Warriors, Richmond, Lewis, Rodman and many other players took turns to take care of them, but they still couldn't prevent it. Only in the first half, Jordan got 30 points.

After the start of the second half, Jordan's offensive firepower remained undiminished.

In addition, Jordan is also very desperate on the defensive end tonight, which makes people wonder, is this guy a perpetual motion machine?Where did you get so much energy?
Li Weisi and Nelson naturally don't believe in evil, so from the first quarter, they tried every means to increase Jordan's consumption, but so far, it seems that Jordan's physical strength is not much worse than Li Weisi.

After going through a complicated running route like flying flies, Li Weisi still couldn't get rid of Jordan. Seeing this, Mullin chose to pass the ball to Richmond who was running down. Richmond missed the middle distance. The rebound was protected by Grant, and the Warriors' offense failed again.

This is already the second half of the Warriors, and the third time this has happened. Facing the Bulls' defense, the Warriors didn't have a particularly good solution for a while.

Fortunately, the Bulls' offense is also not much better.

Grant, who grabbed the rebound, handed the ball to Price, and the Bulls quickly counterattacked.

Jordan took the lead and ran all the way to the frontcourt.

After Price dribbled two steps, he immediately found Jordan with a long pass from the quarterback. However, before receiving the ball, Li Weisi took the ball out of the sideline first.

As early as when Jordan started, Li Weisi followed Jordan closely instead of choosing to defend Price, and judged the direction of Price's pass in advance, which finally killed this fast break in the cradle.

And without the fast break, the Bulls' positional battle also has no good way to face the Warriors. After some running in the triangle offense, Pippen finally executed the final finish, the basketball bounced out of the basket, and Rodman received the rebound .

This situation persisted until the end of the third quarter without much change. The Bulls led by 75:69.

Jordan played the full quarter again in this quarter, but his offensive efficiency dropped compared to the first half, scoring only 38 points in three quarters.

In the fourth quarter, Jordan rested again, and the Warriors set off another wave of chasing points from the bench. In just over a minute, the Warriors chased for 5 points. Seeing that the point difference was only 1 point, the Bulls did not dare Let Jordan rest again, and quickly put Jordan on the field again, which stabilized the situation.

It stands to reason that the strength of the rest of the Bulls is not weak. When they played against the Pistons in the Eastern Conference Finals, whether it was Pippen, Price or Grant, they all played well.

But when facing the Warriors in the finals, apart from a good start in the first game, he couldn't perform well after that. The game often ended in the end, and it became a situation of counting on Jordan alone.

Fortunately, Jordan is really good, especially tonight, even if the shooting percentage drops in the second half, there are still other ways to score.

As a result, the point difference between the two teams gradually stabilized again, and due to Jordan's early appearance, the point difference has a tendency to widen again.

Faced with such a situation, Nelson didn't make substitutions all the time. He watched helplessly as the score returned to 3 or 5 points until the time for the Warriors' substitutions came.

Whether this kind of substitution is good or bad is impossible to evaluate, but as far as tonight's game is concerned, the 5-point difference, even if it is replaced as the starting lineup, still cannot be narrowed. Obviously, the Warriors missed a chance to overtake the score .

The 5-point difference was kept by the Bulls until the last minute.

At this time, Jordan was already out of breath, sticking out his tongue while dribbling. Of course, he stuck out his tongue not because he was tired, but to maintain balance... Well, the ghost knows why he sticks out his tongue. It can't be for heat dissipation, right?
It took a while, and seeing that there were 8 seconds left in the attack time, Jordan finally started to start. After a large change of direction, a large space appeared, and then he directly chose a mid-range jumper.

However, the moment he made the shot, his expression changed. He had already played more than 42 points, and at this time he obviously felt a little tight in his legs, and his take-off height was a bit low, and he couldn't completely get rid of it as usual. Richmond Interference.

Sure enough, despite being swayed by Jordan, Richmond rushed over quickly and tried his best to interfere with Jordan's shooting.

In this way, Jordan's game-killing ball finally hit the basket and missed. Rodman jumped high and accepted the rebound with all his teeth and claws.

The Warriors who survived the catastrophe naturally didn't waste any time. Li Weisi quickly dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, and then took advantage of the Bulls' lack of defense to face Price and made a chasing three-pointer. .

The whole process took less than 5 seconds. When the audience outside the court came to their senses, the score had reached 92:94. The point difference between the two teams had once again returned to the point where it could be tied in one round, and the time was 37 minutes. Second.

At this time, there are two options for the Bulls, either continue to spend 24 seconds and come back to defend a wave, or quickly score a goal and grab a round.

Obviously, the Bulls didn't have that courage. At this time, they chose to maintain stability and continue to waste time.

Once again consuming the offensive time to only 8 seconds left, Jordan started again and started his final attack.

Maybe it was because he missed the shot due to physical exertion in the last shot, but this time Jordan didn't choose to shoot, but went directly to the basket.

Although this consumes more stamina, the hit rate will be higher.

Because he failed to get rid of Richmond when he broke through, Jordan leaned on Richmond to the basket. In this way, he will face the pincer attack of Duckworth and Richmond.

Faced with this situation, the best way should be to pass the ball, but how could Jordan pass at this time? He made a fake shot and successfully tricked the two of them. Then he turned around with his left foot as the axis. Dodged the defense of the two.

Seeing the basket close at hand, Jordan thought to himself that he could put the ball into the basket even with his eyes closed, but when he raised his hand, he found that his hand was empty.

Damn it, it's West!
