Soul of the Golden State

Chapter 686 Facing Victory
The score of the two teams in the first quarter was 35:32, with the Warriors leading by 3 points.

The main reason why the Warriors can take the lead is that the Warriors have a better grasp of details than the Lakers. Although the Lakers played well in the first quarter, it is a pity that there are also many mistakes. There were 5 turnovers, of which Johnson had 3 turnovers alone.

Of course, for the Lakers, making many mistakes is no longer a new thing, after all, this is the style of the Lakers.

Because the Lakers have always been fast-paced, so there are many rounds and fast speed. Sometimes they often make a lot of mistakes in order to push the rhythm. For so many years, the average turnover of the Lakers has been high, and they have been on the court all year round. Averaged more than 15 times, and even set a season with an average of 17.9 times per game.

As the ball controller of the team, Johnson will naturally make many mistakes, more than 3.7 times all year round, and this year it has reached 4 times.

However, the many turnovers did not affect him becoming a top point guard, nor did it affect the strength of the Lakers. It is not obvious that there are more turnovers than the Warriors, but the point difference is only 3 points.

In the second quarter, taking advantage of Li Weisi's absence, the Lakers, led by Johnson, set off another wave of offensive climax.

Johnson, who only rested for less than 3 minutes in the last game, continued his playing time again tonight. The difference from the last rotation is that tonight he rested for 2 minutes in the first quarter, and then played in the second quarter. As soon as the quarter came up, he walked onto the court, obviously trying to catch the Warriors by surprise.

It has to be said that the adjustment effect this time is obvious.

In the first quarter, the Warriors' substitute, who had performed well, fell into a dilemma in the second quarter, because the Warriors' offense stagnated, and the Lakers' offense continued.

At this time, the Lakers lineup is Johnson, Scott, Terry Teague, AC Green, Michael Thompson.

It can be seen that the defense of this lineup is very good. Except for the old Thompson, almost all players in other positions can run and jump, and the defensive cooperation is also very tacit. Under their full defense, Stark Smith's breakthrough was stifled, Curry's shooting was interfered with, and Divac's pass was no threat at all.

And no matter whether it is a mistake or no goal, it will eventually be transformed into the Lakers' fast break. With Johnson as the engine, the Lakers' fast break is like an ocean wave, drowning the Warriors in an instant.

Starks missed a layup again, the rebound was accepted by Johnson, and then a long pass from the quarterback found Terry Teague, who was already down in the frontcourt.

Teague has just turned 31 years old, and his speed has not decreased much. With his excellent explosive power, he left the Warriors' substitute behind by himself, rushed into the penalty area first, and dunked.

In just over two minutes, the Lakers beat the Warriors 10-0. The Warriors, who were still ahead, lost by 7 points immediately, and the point difference is still expanding.

In this regard, Nelson naturally did not dare to wait any longer. Although there are still tens of seconds before the starting time of the Warriors, the development of the situation has obviously exceeded the previous plan. Nelson needs to get the Warriors back as soon as possible to stop the point difference. continued to expand.

It is only 7 points now, if it reaches more than 10 points, it will be even more unfavorable for the situation tonight.

However, the state of the Lakers has risen at this time. Even if the Warriors such as Li Weisi return as the starter, it is still difficult to suppress the current Lakers.

The core of the offense in this lineup is undoubtedly Johnson, especially when Scott is not allowed. When the Warriors started the game and missed the first offense, the Lakers launched a counterattack again.

This time Johnson chose to come by himself. After a fake pass deceived Richmond, he directly dunked with one hand, and the point difference continued to widen.

Then the Warriors attacked, Mullin missed again, and the Lakers continued to counterattack. This time Johnson made a layup that caused Rodman to go to the free throw line and made two free throws.

This period of offense is almost entirely relying on Johnson alone to support the team, but he is alone, making it difficult for the Warriors to parry, especially when Johnson made two free throws, the point difference has reached 10 points above.

It was the Warriors' turn to attack again, and Scott faced Li Weisi again.

In the free throw just now, the Lakers have also quietly changed back to the starting lineup. Obviously, Coach Dunleavy is clear in his mind. Perhaps the Lakers will have a certain advantage relying on a mixed lineup for a while, but this will never be the norm, the Warriors It is possible to reverse the situation at any time. If you want to maintain the current advantage, you must not be stingy with the physical strength of the players.

From this point on, there is no essential difference between him and that devil coach Riley.

Of course, Li Weisi didn't take Scott seriously. What he was thinking at this time was that this goal must be scored, and the point difference could not be widened any further.

Of course, all of this is nonsense. Which round and which team didn't want to score the ball?What needs to be considered now is how to score this goal?
Finally, Li Weisi moved. This time he did not call a pick-and-roll, did not run tactics, and did not pull up and shoot. Instead, he broke through Scott in an instant through the rhythm and went inside.

If there is a choice, every defender of Li Weisi would rather let Li Weisi break into the penalty area than shoot from outside the three-point line. After all, three points are one point more than two points, right?
It may be exaggerated to say so, but now Scott looked at Li Weisi's back, and he felt a little lucky in his heart. Fortunately, Li Weisi did not choose to shoot a three-pointer, but broke into the penalty area.

Of course, Li Weisi would not think that he was fooled. If Scott had deliberately defended out of position and allowed himself to break into the penalty area, then his acting skills were really good, and it would not be an exaggeration to win the Oscar winner.

After breaking into the penalty area, he will inevitably be surrounded by the Lakers. If it is Jordan, he can rely on his excellent jumping and wingspan, whether it is flying up to attack the basket or pulling up for a jumper, he is a Good choice, because Jordan has the ability to make a complex offensive environment simple.

But Li Weisi is not Jordan, he does not have Jordan's physical fitness, and cannot perform miracles like Jordan, but he has other methods, using technology to complete the finish.

Just like now, facing Green, who leaped high and wanted to block himself, Li Weisi took the ball first, pushed out his forearm, and pushed the ball out with a toss.

The basketball passed Green's hand and fell directly into the basket with precision. Li Weisi completed this extremely difficult throw and successfully narrowed the point difference to less than 10 points again.

In the face of victory, the Warriors will not give up!
