Chapter 134 Recovery
Chapter 134 Recovery
Li Weisi's three-pointer was timely and quenched the Warriors' thirst, but it did not completely change the Warriors' plight. The weakness of the inside made it very difficult for them to chase points.
In addition, it also makes the third-year rookie feel uncomfortable. Olajuwon is also a competitive guy. How could Olajuwon swallow his anger.
So he repeatedly beat Duckworth in the interior, ignoring Duckworth's defense as nothing, and ravaged the Warriors' interior to calm his inner anger.
Poor Duck, the debtor, the debtor,
In this way, it was not until Malone played again that Dak was rescued. Fortunately, Dak did not cry like Rodman (Rodman's black question mark face: "Excuse me?"), which prevented him from crying on the field.
Dak's encounter also reflected from the side the high intensity and high level of the two sides' insiders in this game. Dak, a first-year player, is obviously not qualified to stand here.
With the reappearance of the two sides' starters, the point difference tends to be widened again.
Previously, although Olajuwon wanted anything and everything in the paint, Li Weisi's long-range shots and organization still clung to the point difference and narrowed it to 12 points.
But when Sampson came back and the Rockets' twin towers stood on the inside again, Li Weisi found that even organization became difficult, because the inside space was too crowded, and there was no good opportunity to run out of tactics.
As a result, the Warriors fell into a scoring drought again, and the Rockets took the opportunity to play a wave of 8:0 highs, expanding the point difference to 20 points in one fell swoop.
At the critical moment, it was Ma Long, the Warriors' Dinghai Shenzhen, who stood up again. Against the pincers of Sampson and Olajuwon, he grabbed a crucial offensive rebound and dunked the duo successfully.
Malone, who succeeded in dunking, roared excitedly to the sidelines, as if announcing that I am still the omnipotent Malone.
What can be exchanged, of course, is the unanimous boos of the audience.
Malone's dunk seemed to wake up his sleeping teammates. For a while, the Warriors' fighting spirit was rekindled and they threw themselves into the battle again.
At the end of the half, the score between the two sides was 62:48, and the Warriors still maintained a glimmer of hope for a comeback.
During the intermission, there was silence in the away locker room of the Hemis Exhibition Stadium.
Nelson stared at the tactical board and frowned, did not speak, let alone pour chicken soup on the players.
The players of the Warriors also do their own things, either resting, drinking drinks, or eating bananas.Until Mu Lin suddenly spoke, breaking the silence in the locker room.
"Coach, I've had enough rest, let me play in the second half!"
"You? Can you do it?" Nelson looked up at the disciple he loved and hated, hesitantly asked.
"Of course, I've recovered."
"Chris!"
Suddenly there was a voice calling him behind Mu Lin. Mu Lin turned around and saw a bottle of Gatorade flying towards him. Caught off guard, he quickly reached out to pick it up, but hit the back of his hand, flicked it, and then Just received it.
"Well, it's okay, it seems that the withdrawal reaction has passed."
Only then did Mu Lin notice that the person throwing the drink was Li Weisi, and he couldn't help but angrily said, "What are you doing?"
"Test! Let's see if you can play!" Li Weisi said with a look of reason.
"How can there be such a test? What if it hits me?"
"It doesn't matter. It's just a bottle of drink. If you hit it, it won't hurt anyone. I have controlled the strength."
"Am I talking about control?"
"Huh? Isn't it?"
"of course not!"
"Okay, don't say a few words." Nelson rubbed his temples, and felt that the two people were arguing like a group of ducks. Sorry, Nelson didn't mean to offend Duckworth.
Then, Nelson asked Li Weisi again: "Do you think Chris can play?"
"For the time being, his condition should be fine, but I don't know how long it will last." Li Weisi said truthfully.
"I have great staying power!" Mullin emphasized, obviously, he was in a hurry.
"Okay, that's fine. In the second half, Chris, you play!" Nelson said.
"Yes!" Mu Lin finally showed a long-lost smile, even though it was ugly.
Back in the second half, the Warriors started chasing points again.
Unlike the first half, in the second half, due to Mullin's playing, the Warriors' offensive space was significantly expanded. At the same time, because of Mullin's second ball-holding point, Li Weisi's defensive pressure was much reduced.
On weekdays, he doesn't show his mountains and water, but when Mullin is really not on the court, his value can be reflected.
Li Weisi once again reached the inside line with the ball. After the lessons learned in the first half, Li Weisi already understood that the two inside lines of the Rockets must not be measured by the standard of ordinary inside lines.
Therefore, he was not in a hurry to make a shot inside. After carefully observing the movements of the enemy and us, he decisively passed the ball to Mullin who had just run without the ball to the bottom corner.
Mullin's shot is not as fast as Levi's. His shot rhythm is a bit similar to Bird. The reason why his shot is difficult to be blocked is due to his running position, rhythm and his left-handed shot.
These all contributed to the fact that he shot very slowly, but those who guarded against him could not easily cover him, and McCree was no exception at this time.
After being blocked by the pick-and-roll, McRae still rushed towards Mullin, and successfully came to Mullin before Mullin shot.
However, Mullin did not take the first shot, but immediately broke through to the bottom line on the right after a three-threat, and McRae's defensive focus continued to change.
Immediately afterwards, Mullin turned left and passed McCree without delay, as silky and smooth as a drum washing machine.
After passing McRae, Mullin immediately jumped up and shot. Although McRae's body is very good, his body is far from being as buggy as Antetokounmpo. After being completely passed, he still has the strength to catch up and block the shot.
Therefore, he could only watch Mullin make a shot, which was a steady mid-range shot.
Mu Lin clenched his fists and yelled fiercely, his excitement was beyond words, it was just a withdrawal reaction, and he was able to overcome it.
As Mullin returned to normal performance, the Warriors' offense returned to normal. Li Weisi and Mullin had two guns on the outside, which made Olajuwon and Sampson have to frequently go to the outside to help defend.
This immediately reduced the pressure on Malone inside. Finally, when Li Weisi faced Sampson, he threw the ball into the air, and Malone made an alley-oop and dunked the ball into the basket.
It's all back for the Warriors.
Looking at the point difference at this time, it has returned to 10 points, and it seems that a reversal is not impossible.
