Chapter 118 The situation changes suddenly
As soon as Cooper came on the court, he showed his surprise effect. Although it was not obvious on the offensive end, on the defensive end, it played a vital role in disrupting the Warriors' offensive rhythm and limiting Li Weisi's performance.

Cooper, who is 196cm tall, has the height of a shooting guard, but can keep up with Li Weisi's footsteps. At the same time, he has a clear mind and has a better sense of Li Weisi's passing than ordinary people. These factors have become important reasons for Li Weisi's restrictions.

Due to Riley's bold substitutions, the original rhythm of the Warriors' preparation for the start was once again disrupted. Therefore, until entering the rotation lineup, the Warriors still failed to complete the lead in the score.

The bench strength of the Lakers is not like his starting strength, which is the best in the league. After all, the money is used for starting. How can the bench players choose some good players? Cooper is the only one who comes from the gold rush. The Lakers The management of the company doesn't have any cheats like Frank.

Ordinary bench players are obviously not worthy of the strength that the Lakers giants should have. Therefore, Riley also intentionally or unintentionally increased the starting playing time.

This time, after Magic Johnson was replaced, Riley immediately brought up Scott, who had been replaced, and let Worthy play the entire first quarter.

In the end, the first quarter ended, and the Lakers entered the second quarter with an 32-point lead at 24:8.

The unfavorable situation made Adam and Matt very worried watching the game. They cheered each other up: "The Lakers will increase the playing time of the starters in this way, and there will be physical problems. Let's hold on. Don't be afraid, it will be reversed later."

"Yes, yes, and it's only 8 points behind, it's not a problem."

In Lin Jiming's opinion, what the two said was a little funny. The Lakers have always played like this, and they haven't seen any physical problems!

In fact, the reason why the Lakers can maintain such vitality is not because they are superhuman, but because of Pat Riley's devil training.

In addition to having the nickname of "Magic Operator", Pat Riley also has a nickname, "Devil Coach", and this is because of his devil training.

The so-called devil training is actually the overload training volume for players that Riley advocates. In this regard, Riley has been praised for many strange things: for example, he once locked the 39-year-old Kareem Abdul-Jabbar in a super-high temperature room. The sauna room was steamed for 1.5 hours; for another example, he once made the magician do 300 boring back and forth runs in a row.

And he will also send a memo to the players every season: the fat content of defenders cannot exceed 6%, forwards 7%-8%, and centers cannot exceed 10%.

Under such extremely strict training, there are naturally advantages, allowing the players to maintain a stable competitive state and reserve enough physical energy, but what are the disadvantages?Naturally, the risk of injury has greatly increased. Even if it has not yet appeared at this time, it is too late after all.

The risk has not emerged for the time being, but the benefits have enabled the Lakers' starters to still be alive and running on the court after not taking much time off.

Seeing that the point difference went up to double digits again, at the critical moment, with Li Weisi playing, all this changed.

Li Weisi first hit consecutive three-pointers at the top of the arc and the bottom corner, and then broke through to cause Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's foul and made two free throws.

In just 1 minute, the point difference was reduced to 5 points.

I have to say that three-pointers are used to chase points, and the speed is really fast.

Seeing that the Warriors started to gain momentum, Riley replaced Cooper again, intending to use Cooper's defensive ability to limit Li Weisi, but at this time Li Weisi was unstoppable, no matter how Cooper pestered Li Weisi, Li Weisi always had various ways The ball goes into the basket.

When Li Weisi used various fancy dribbles to get rid of Cooper's mad dog defense and hit this iconic three-pointer, the Warriors successfully overtook the score before halftime. During this period, Li Weisi scored 11 points in a row .

Adam and Matt stood up and cheered for Li Weisi together with the surrounding audience. It was so cool to watch Li Weisi play, it was like flying.

Even Lin Jiming, who is not a fan of Li Weisi, has to admit that Li Weisi's playing style is so popular that you will be motivated and completely immersed in his game without knowing it.

Especially for short fans like Lin Jiming, when you see Li Weisi, who is also "short and thin", you can't help but feel a sense of substitution, which makes you involuntarily want to cheer for him.

At the end of halftime, the Warriors successfully overtook the score with 53:52.

Watching the Warriors defeat strong opponents, and the Lakers, who are the overlords in the Western Conference, can also play back and forth. For a while, the confidence of the Warriors fans suddenly swelled.

From this point of view, the championship, which seemed out of reach before the season, seems not so far away now?Things that were once unimaginable can now be thought about.

However, the good expectations of the fans suffered a heavy blow at the beginning of the second half. Suddenly, the situation changed suddenly and the situation on the stadium reversed again.

As soon as the third quarter came up, the Lakers changed their defensive strategy again and began to pinch Li Weisi.

Logically speaking, pinching Li Weisi should be the situation that the Warriors most hope to see. After all, it is better to have more flowers than relying on Li Weisi alone for the outcome of the game.

However, what is unexpected is that when Li Weisi successfully transferred the ball, the Lakers' supplementary defense came very quickly, and immediately appeared in front of the ball holder, and the ball holder, in most cases, was Rodman or smith.

Poor Rodman shouldered the burden that he shouldn't have at his age. He was not good enough in basic skills, but he couldn't even dribble when facing Green who came from the defense, and he made two mistakes in a row.

Moreover, these mistakes were all caught by the Lakers and successfully counterattacked.

Unknowingly, the score that had already overtaken was turned back by the Lakers again. Not only that, but also further expanded the score difference, directly pulling it to [-] points.

Not only that, Nelson discovered that the situation was not right when the Lakers changed their tactics, and quickly called a timeout, made some arrangements, and reminded the Warriors to pay attention.

It's a pity that the Lakers' defense was airtight, and the ball was finally passed to Rodman. At this moment, all Rodman's weaknesses were exposed.

When the point difference was widened to as much as 15 again, Nelson finally made up his mind and replaced Rodman, and at the same time declared Riley's plan a success.

Seeing Rodman walking down from the court with a frustrated face, Nelson didn't say anything, just patted him on the back, and thought to himself: "I was too anxious, I shouldn't let you stand up so early. You still need to work hard on this stage!"
