Chapter 584 Modifying the Rules
The Bulls didn't expect at all that the problems the Warriors encountered in the first quarter also encountered them in the second quarter, and they were in a worse situation than the Warriors.

After struggling for more than two minutes, as Li Weisi scored another three-pointer, the Warriors finally tied the score.

In the last game, Li Weisi scored 6 three-pointers, but this time, in the second quarter, Li Weisi has already scored 4 three-pointers, and this data has already surpassed the three-pointers of the Bulls team. A total of 3 hits were made by Pippen and Price.

Of course, it is not new for Li Weisi to throw more three-pointers than the opposing team. Even the fans are not surprised.

In fact, now the league has begun to address the problem of Li Weisi's three-point accuracy, and has begun to find ways to limit it.

As we all know, when a star in the NBA is too strong and the strength of the league team is unbalanced, the rules will be modified for this player, such as the "3-second violation" rule against McCann George, and the "interfering ball" against Chamberlain. rules, and Jordan's "anti-single isolation" rule.

And now, it was finally Li Weisi's turn.

In fact, as early as last year, when facing the Warriors' 70 wins, they had already considered modifying the rules for Li Weisi, but at that time, the league leaders were arguing over how to restrict Li Weisi, and they couldn't come up with a method that could convince everyone.

And this season, with Li Weisi's more outstanding performance, the discussion on modifying the rules for Li Weisi has once again intensified. Finally, after many rounds of consultations, he finally found a relatively reliable rule, which is to shorten the three-point line .

This is also something that can't be helped. If you want to restrict Li Weisi, everyone's first reaction is to restrict Li Weisi from shooting three-pointers!
But how to limit, that's something to say.

After all, shooting is almost the most common skill in basketball games. You can't tie Li Weisi's hands to prevent him from shooting three-pointers, right?
In the end, someone proposed the idea of ​​shortening the three-point line, which means that since Li Weisi shoots farther than others, as long as the three-point line is shortened, everyone can make three-pointers. With three points, the advantage is naturally cut.

I have to say that this idea fits the current alliance very well.

Restricted by factors such as technology and philosophy, the main offensive method of most teams in the league is to hit the penalty area. Now that the three-point line is shortened, it means that many mid-range shooters like Jordan can also make three-pointers. As a result, Li Weisi's advantage was greatly reduced.

Now that this rule modification is coming to an end, although Frank has repeatedly opposed it, it is a pity that the consensus is hard to disobey. This rule is likely to be implemented next season.

No matter what happens next season, the long-distance water can't quench the near-thirst, and the current crisis for the Bulls is real.

Faced with Li Weisi's performance, the Bulls have no way to solve him. As for the double-teaming that can most limit Li Weisi's scoring, Jordan will never agree.

For a long time, Jordan has always believed that compared with Li Weisi, he has his own strengths on the offensive end, he is better in scoring, and Li Weisi is better in organizing, but he is far better than Li Weisi in defense.

So to sum it up, I want to beat Li Weisi!

But if I need someone to help me when defending against Li Weisi now, regardless of whether this move is effective or not, doing so is slapping myself in the face. How can I have the face to say that I defend well?

Although it is better than Li Weisi, but you can't prevent Li Weisi's attack, what's the use of being good?

Therefore, after rejecting the proposal of the assistant coach Sr. Bach, Jordan really still adopted the method of one defense and one defense to defend Li Weisi.

Facing Jordan, who is even more defensively crazy, Li Weisi is not afraid at all. While coping with Jordan's escalating physical contact, he controls the ball to look for offensive opportunities.

Soon, he caught Jordan's flaws. Since Jordan was close to Li Weisi, he didn't give him room to shoot, but it also made it very difficult for him to defend Li Weisi's breakthrough.

Therefore, Li Weisi seized the opportunity of Jordan to use his strength in a confrontation, suddenly accelerated, and broke through from Jordan's left side.

But Jordan's moving speed is not a joke. Li Weisi's speed of 10 seconds per 7 meters is beyond his reach. Therefore, even though Li Weisi breaks through Jordan, it does not mean that he can get rid of Jordan's defense. Not only Jordan knows this, but Li Weisi also knows it well .

Therefore, although he had broken through Jordan's defense, Li Weisi made an emergency stop after taking two steps forward, and used "Bai Buddha" to deceive Jordan's center of gravity again, and broke through from Jordan's left hand again.

This is the case when the talent is not as good as others. For others, it may only need an acceleration to pass the defense. Li Weisi often needs many trials and fake moves to use the rhythm to pass the opponent.

Of course, there are advantages and disadvantages of using rhythm to surpass others. Although it is more troublesome to do so, generally masters who use rhythm to surpass others are less likely to be injured.

After another breakthrough, Li Weisi finally got rid of Jordan this time. However, this is not over yet. Li Weisi knew that his chance at this time was very short. Given the opportunity, Li Weisi directly chose to throw the shot with the fastest speed.

Sure enough, just after Li Weisi finished his shot, Jordan jumped out from behind. Unfortunately, Li Weisi's movements were fast and subtle, which made Jordan miss nothing.

For this forward-leaning small throw, for ordinary players, it is necessary to find rebounds to ensure the hit rate, but Li Weisi's soft touch makes a direct hit.

Looking back, Jordan wanted to get back on the offensive end. However, after breaking into the penalty area, he was attacked by Richmond, Rodman and Duckworth. Protected the rebound.

Then the Warriors' counterattack came as scheduled. Since Jordan was trapped in the penalty area and could not return to the defense in time, the task of defending Li Weisi in this fast break was placed on Price.

It's just that Price has no confidence in defending Li Weisi.

Sure enough, shortly after halftime, Li Weisi directly chose the top of the arc for a three-pointer.

Due to the understanding of his teammates for many years, Price actually accurately predicted Li Weisi's shot this time. When Li Weisi shot, he also jumped up and interfered with Li Weisi.

As for blocking shots, Price would not have such an idea, let alone him, a short man who is much shorter than Li Weisi, even everyone in the league, it seems that he has not blocked Li Weisi's three-point shot so far.

However, Price's interference was very limited. Although he judged Li Weisi's shot at the first moment, Li Weisi still hit the three-pointer.

For a while, the Warriors overtook the score to 5 points.
