Soul of the Golden State

Chapter 65 Moncrief
The short-haired brawny man in front of him has a worrying hairline and a mustache on his upper lip. At first glance, he looks a bit like a farmer from the western reclamation area, but facing this man, Li Weisi dare not relax in the slightest.

Although they only fought for a few minutes, the sense of oppression and aura brought by this man is no less than that of Moses Malone. He does not have the domineering arrogance of Malone. , I am a still rock.

But often, such a person is more dangerous, because his danger is never revealed, and once it is revealed, it will be too late.

Moncrief has been leading the defense of Li Weisi after halftime. He did not physically bully Li Weisi like Harper and Porter did in the previous two games. Instead, he kept an arm's distance from Li Weisi, but kept attacking, trying to Use steals to maintain constant defensive pressure on Li Weisi and disrupt Li Weisi's rhythm.

Under this defensive combination, Li Weisi was indeed struggling. No matter the space or time, it was not enough for him to make moves to get rid of Moncrief.

In desperation, Li Weisi could only seek Ma Long's pick-and-roll.

After Malone blocked Moncrief, facing Bucks center Sikoma who was defending him, Li Weisi calmed down a lot. First, he used speed to force Sikoma, and then Li Weisi made another emergency stop, waiting for Sikoma to pounce. When facing yourself, immediately hit the ground and pass the ball, and distribute the ball to Malone who is running down.

It's just that this cooperation has succeeded countless times, but this time it failed because the ball did not reach Malone's hands.

A big hand suddenly appeared in the middle of Ma Long close to Li Weisi, it was Moncrief.

Moncrief did not go after Ma Long, but was always a step behind Ma Long, guarding against Li Weisi's pass at any time. Obviously he succeeded this time.

After successfully stealing Moncrief, he immediately launched a counterattack. Li Weisi was the first to react. He quickly retreated to the backcourt, constantly harassing Moncrief's progress. For a while, the offensive and defensive momentum changed.

In the entire backcourt, there were only the two of them at this time. Seeing that Moncrief was about to start, even though Moncrieff was only 191cm tall, his muscles were like steel, and it hurt when he hit Li Weisi.

In the end, Li Weisi's speed was even better, and he took the first step to block Moncrief. At this time, they had entered the restricted area, and the entire area was within Moncrief's attack range.

Moncrief immediately chose to force Li Weisi to stand in front of him, intending to go straight to the basket, while Li Weisi stood in front of Moncrief's forward path, standing firmly with his feet and protecting his vitals with his hands, and then the two of them fought fiercely. collided together.

"Drip!"

Just when the two fell down at the same time, a short whistle came from the sidelines.

Offensive foul!

The referee's penalty drew boos from the scene, and the home fans were dissatisfied with the referee's penalty.

The two climbed up from the ground one after the other. Moncrief was fine, but Li Weisi felt a pain in his body. He lay down on the ground for a little inspection and got up after confirming that there was no problem.

Moncrief stared at Li Weisi expressionlessly, and said, "Good defense, but this kind of cleverness won't work every time!"

"Of course!" Li Weisi actually agreed with Moncrief's words, and said, "However, as long as we guard against you this time, it will be fine."

Hearing Li Weisi's words, Moncrief laughed out loud and said, "Hahaha, interesting, Nelly has a good player."

As he said that, Moncrief glanced thoughtfully at Nelson on the sidelines, feeling jealous towards Li Weisi for no reason.

Yes, it's a bit funny to say it, but as a basketball star, Moncrief is jealous of Li Weisi, a rookie who has just entered the league. The reason for this is naturally because of Nelson's choice.

As Nelson's favorite disciple, Moncrief and Nelson have gone hand in hand for 7 years. In Nelson's Bucks, other players have changed one crop after another, but the only constant is his Moncliff. Cliff.

With the help of Nelson, he has grown from a substitute who averaged 8.5 points per game to the head star of the powerful Bucks in the East. He originally thought that he and Nelson could overthrow the mountain that was pressing on them, but he never thought , Nelson actually left them.

As for the reason for giving up, Moncrief doesn't need to guess. In addition to the reason of the management, it may also have something to do with Nelson no longer having hope for them. Perhaps in Nelson's eyes, no matter how hard his team works Can't beat the green army either.

This feeling of betrayal and being underestimated was really uncomfortable. Moncrief was equally curious about why Nelson chose the Warriors. At first, he thought it was because of Moses Malone. After all, Malone's status was indeed higher than Moncrief's. And Malone also defeated the Celtics.

But later he realized that what Nelson really valued was not Ma Long, but the rookie in front of him. Looking at Li Weisi, who was rubbing his head down and rubbing his chest, Moncrief felt a sense of competitiveness in his heart. He wanted to pass the competition and come Proving that Nelson's choice was wrong.

Because Li Weisi made Moncrief's foul, the score did not change, and the two sides were anxious again. However, because the Bucks' strongest defender, Moncrief, stared at Li Weisi, the Warriors had some defensive pressure in other positions. Weakened, the Bucks' help defense is also much smaller.

So although the offense was stumbling, they managed to score a goal anyway, and the score did not expand further. When there were 2 minutes before the end of the first quarter, Li Weisi was replaced, and the score at this time had reached 15:28.

Li Weisi sat on the bench, covered his head with a towel, and was panting heavily. He couldn't maintain his strength tonight. Li Weisi spent a lot of energy just to get rid of Moncrief's entanglement, and , After Moncrief defended himself, he didn't score a single point in the past few minutes.

During this period, Li Weisi also found two mobile phone opportunities, but both of them failed to make shots because of Moncrief's interference.

This is because Moncrief is very good at anticipating the defense. He can always find Li Weisi's travel route and use his quick movement to steal himself.In addition, Moncrief does not deliberately want to block himself, but tries his best to interfere with his shooting rhythm, so that every time he shoots, he feels very awkward, which is why Li Weisi's shooting rate is low. The reason.

On the other side, on the Bucks' bench, Moncrief was also replaced, and his breathing was also very rapid. Obviously, his physical exertion was not much less than that of Li Weisi.

"It's okay, Sidney, take it easy, don't be too anxious, just strangle West to death, there is no need to work so hard." Seeing the sweating Moncrief, coach Harris comforted him.

Hearing what the coach said, Moncrief was taken aback for a moment, then ignored him, but lowered his head and frowned, thinking to himself: strangle Li Weisi?It’s true that standing and talking doesn’t hurt my back, why do you think I’m so tired?
