Soul of the Golden State

Chapter 610 Unfavorable Situation

"Price's current offense has won the essence of West. On the offensive end, whether it is shooting or organization, it is definitely the top star in the league!" Watching Price hit this three-pointer, the commentator Dick Stockton couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

"Unfortunately, his opponent is West." Hubie Brown just sighed, but expressed Price's helplessness.

Although Price has already left the Warriors, the same style of play, the same technical characteristics, and Price was Li Weisi's substitute, so he can never get rid of Li Weisi.

People will naturally compare the two together, but this is too cruel for Price.

Not to mention him, looking at the history of the NBA, how many people can achieve such excellent results in the first four years of their careers?
Therefore, Price will still live in the shadow of Li Weisi after all. No matter which team he goes to, no matter how good his performance is, this may be Price's helplessness.

The game is still going on, Divac still holds the ball at the top of the arc, and the Warriors fly on both wings, but this time, neither Mullin nor Richmond received Divac's pass, but instead relied on Rhodes Li Weisi, who was in the pick-and-roll, received the pass.

After receiving the ball, Li Weisi quickly made a breakthrough, and after attracting the defensive attention of Grant and Jordan, he immediately hit the ground and passed the ball to Rodman who was running down.

The yellow-haired Rodman is easy to recognize tonight, and he can be seen at a glance. After getting the ball, Rodman immediately became enthusiastic, dunking and bombing the basket with both hands.The score came to 5:4.

The failure of this defense was mainly due to the fact that Grant and Jordan did not explain clearly, which led to a defensive error and missed the inconspicuous Rodman.

It was the Bulls' turn to attack again. This time, Pippen continued to choose to play pick-and-rolls with Cartwright. The Bulls' tactics tonight were very clear, that is, to play Divac.

After the pick-and-roll this time, Mullin and Divac actually made a mistake that the Bulls made in the last round. Both of them focused on Pippen, causing Pippen to pass the ball down immediately. Caretaker Cartwright.

Seeing Cartwright attacking the basket, Rodman quickly helped defend, and Cartwright took the opportunity to throw the ball into the air. Grant rose up, completed the alley-oop, and dunked the ball into the basket. 7:4.

As an unobtrusive all-round center, Cartwright's ability is obviously underestimated. In people's impression, he seems to have no sense of presence in the Bulls' starting lineup, but in fact, apart from rebounding , Cartwright can give the team the most effective help in any other aspect, and is completely an indispensable part of the Bulls.

That's his value, and that's why Krause traded for Oakley.

After the opening, the offense of both teams was very efficient. However, because the Warriors' defensive weaknesses were too obvious, they were more likely to be targeted by the Bulls. As a result, the Bulls always led the score.

The Bulls led the Warriors by 33 points at 28:5 in the first quarter.

It seems that such a point difference is not big, the main reason is that the Warriors used Divac to mention the tactic of going online, which caught the Bulls by surprise.

Due to the empty interior and the fact that the Warriors were too threatening from the outside, even a strong defensive team like the Bulls was often attacked by the Warriors to the basket in the first quarter to score.

Who would have thought that throughout the first quarter, the Warriors scored higher inside than the Bulls.

However, this tactic of the Warriors obviously cannot be eaten all over the world. After the Bulls gradually became familiar with this tactic, they also quickly got along with the coping strategy.

Relying on their strong defensive mobility on the flanks, when facing the Warriors' pick-and-roll cuts, they adopted an infinite defense method to stop the Warriors' offense.

I have to say that this tactic change is indeed effective. In the second quarter, after facing the Bulls' defensive tactics, the Warriors had already made 3 turnovers in just a few rounds. Only 3 mistakes.

And taking advantage of the opportunity of the Warriors' mistakes, the Bulls immediately launched their famous defensive counterattack.

Divac passed the ball on offense, was interfered by Cartwright who was defending him, and eventually the ball was intercepted by Pippen, and the Bulls quickly counterattacked.

In the fast break, Jordan took the lead, and Pippen immediately made a long pass to find Jordan who had come to the frontcourt. Facing Mullin's defense, Jordan just changed direction and left Mullin behind. The speed was so fast that Mullin even No chance to foul him.

After that, he only adjusted one step, and immediately stepped on the free throw line and took off on the imaginary line two steps inward. Although the flying distance was not as far as the free throw line dunk in the All-Star Game, his stretched body and graceful posture , It still makes this dunk full of entertainment.

With the basketball dunking into the basket, Nelson requested a timeout. In just a few minutes, the Bulls have successfully expanded the point difference to 10 points.

"The Warriors are in trouble. Duckworth's departure has had a great impact on them. There is a problem with the entire interior defensive system. Nelson's experiment obviously did not achieve very good results. The Bulls are no better than other players. The team, their ability to catch the opponent's weakness is quite strong." Taking advantage of the timeout, Hubie Brown rarely made a long speech.

"So what should the Warriors do now to get rid of this unfavorable situation?" As a good fan, Dick Stockton knew how to deliver words and asked a timely question.

"It's difficult. The key to the Warriors' problem lies in defense, and the key to defense lies in the defense at the center position. But both Divac and backup center Davis have their own weaknesses. For the Warriors at present, Perhaps only the return of Moses can solve this problem." Brown said pessimistically.

The fact seems to be as Brown said, after the timeout, the Warriors still made personnel adjustments, but the tactics changed slightly. This time, it was changed to Li Weisi and Divac pick-and-roll, and Li Weisi attacked.

In this way, the problem of the Warriors' offensive mistakes has been solved to a certain extent, but it is of little help to the situation of the whole game, because the problem of the Warriors at this time is not in the offense, but in the defense.

As long as the defensive problem of the center position is not resolved, it will be difficult for the Warriors to tie the score from the hands of the Bulls.

In this way, in the second half of the second quarter, relying on Li Weisi's precise passing and control of the situation, the Warriors struggled to turn the one-sided situation into an even match. Unable to catch up.

At halftime, the Bulls had led the Warriors by 68 points 55:13.
