Chapter 147
Chapter 147
After the first quarter, the score between the two sides was 20:29, with the away team at the front and the home team at the back.
Originally, after Li Weisi succeeded in the layup, he thought that he could open up the problem of personal scoring shortage, but it turned out that he thought too much.
After all, the 76ers are not a weak team, and their defense is not so unbearable, so after they made some adjustments, the penalty area was once again like an iron barrel formation, with no needles or water splashing in.
Although Li Weisi's state has recovered, the threat of outside shooting is far from normal, which also causes him to need more dribbles to adjust the rhythm when he breaks through, which in turn affects the end after the breakthrough.
And all of this inevitably made Frank, who was sitting in the box, sweat a little.
I thought to myself: My boss, if you lose the chain someday, don’t lose it today!It took me a lot of effort to bring you such a big boss, and if you are seen by him, you can save ten years of struggle!If this is missed, how much energy will be needed to make up for it!
In the second quarter, someone from the Warriors team finally stood up, but it was not Li Weisi, but Malone.
As the Warriors player who is most familiar with the 76ers, Malone's performance in the first quarter can only be regarded as quite satisfactory, with 8 points and 3 rebounds, so-so.
But in the case of Li Weisi's abnormal performance, the team wants to win, and it is impossible for Malone to rely on such a performance!
Therefore, when leading the bench alone in the second quarter, Malone finally broke out.
At this time, Barkley happened to be off the court to rest. Neither Roy Hinson nor substitute center Tim McCormick was Malone's opponent.
Price and Higgins on the perimeter also didn't feel good tonight, so they hit the iron frequently, but Malone showed his demeanor of the first offensive rebound in NBA history, grabbing offensive rebounds for three consecutive rounds, and then scored.
This was unbearable for the head coach of the 76ers, Matt Guocas Jr., and quickly called a timeout.
After the timeout, Guokas replaced Barkley on the field and replaced Hinson as a power forward. Poor Barkley only rested for 3 minutes.
Barkley's rebounding is nothing to say. This season's average of 15 rebounds per game is enough to compete for the rebounding champion. Of course, he can also compete for the shortest rebounding champion in history.
Sure enough, after Barkley came on the court, the effect was very obvious, especially the protection of the backcourt rebounds was obviously far better than that of Sinson, and it was because of this that Malone's frontcourt rebound performance came to an end.
However, at this time, the outside line was also activated by Ma Long, and the touch recovered. When Li Weisi played again, the difference between the two teams was only 5 points.
After Li Weisi came back, Malone took a break temporarily. You know, up to now, Malone has only rested for 2 minutes in the first quarter.
Malone was gone inside, and Carroll was active again. Duckworth looked like a younger brother in front of Carroll.
Seeing that the point difference was widened again, at this time, someone stepped forward again. This person was still not Li Weisi, but Hornacek.
Hornacek, who averaged only 4 points and 4 assists per game this season, was suddenly put on the starting lineup in recent games, which caught him off guard.
After several rounds of adaptation, finally this round ushered in an explosion.
Li Weisi did not want to pick and roll this time, but chose to single Cheeks.
Compared with the last time, this time Li Weisi, who has fully familiarized with Cheeks' technical characteristics, is more comfortable playing Cheeks in singles.
With a change of direction and a breakthrough, he successfully broke through Cheeks' defense.
Don't look at this direction-changing breakthrough, it seems that the technique is very simple, but it is not the case. When ordinary people use the direction-changing breakthrough, such as breaking to the right, in order to create a larger space, usually the left foot will step a large distance to the right .
But in fact, it is wrong to do this, because it is not conducive to you to stop. When you stride too far with your left foot and want to go back, there is too much space in the middle, and the reaction time for the opponent will also increase.
Therefore, when changing direction, it must be carried out in a small space. In this regard, you can refer to Durant in later generations. Regardless of his height of 210cm, his direction-changing breakthrough is very reasonable.
This was the case with Li Weisi's change of direction breakthrough. He only stepped forward with his left foot less than ten centimeters, and then changed direction quickly, and he had successfully broken through from Cheeks' right side.
Facing Li Weisi, who made a breakthrough, and Irving, who was defending Hornacek, he immediately came to defend.
Seeing that the double-team had been attracted, Li Weisi passed the ball directly from the top of his head to Hornacek who had just moved to the bottom corner.
Hornacek, who received the ball, made some adjustments, and then used a very standard action to shoot a three-pointer before Barkley, who came from the defense, arrived.
The wind is strong and the horns are bowing, the general hunts Weicheng!
The basketball went into the net hollow, which was the Warriors' first three-pointer in this field.
After scoring the goal, Hornacek beat his chest and stamped his feet, venting his anger. His behavior seemed to tell that I can not only be the father-in-law of countless people, but also be an excellent player.
Not long after getting excited, in the next round, Hornacek was successfully broken by Irving, and Irving, who went inside, turned around and pulled the bar in the air, avoiding Duckworth's block, and made a layup.
Such a [-]-year-old man is still so picturesque when flying, which attracted constant applause from the audience, and the audience said that the youth of the master is back!
Although Hornacek was not prevented, it did not prevent Hornacek from bursting with self-confidence.
In fact, everyone knows that Hornacek can't defend Owen, and they don't want him to defend him. Irving's height is 198cm, so how can Hornacek, who is 191cm, be able to defend him.
Don't look at Owen's 36, he is 46, and his bounce is higher than Hornacek, who can only jump as high as a matchbox!
What?You said matchbox is too exaggerated?
All right, then put the matchbox upright.
After Li Weisi dribbled the ball for halftime, Hornacek took the initiative to ask for the ball, which is rare, but Li Weisi passed the ball without saying a word.
Hornacek singled Owen at this time, changed direction continuously, and successfully broke through Irving's defense from the bottom line.
Owen's footsteps are indeed slow. If he is young, let alone five years old, even three years old, Hornacek will never be able to break through. It can only be said that since ancient times, a beauty is like a famous general, and the world is not allowed to see gray hair.
After breaking through, Hornacek made an emergency stop, then pulled back the protruding ball, turned around, and made a fallback jumper. Although the jump was not high and the movements were not picturesque, he was really good!
I saw the ball fly over Irving's fingertips, hit the board at 45 degrees, and bounce into the net. It can be seen that the ball Hornacek itself is going for the backboard, and it is by no means blind.
Rodman rushed over excitedly, jumped up and bumped his chest with Hornacek, and Hornacek was also too excited, counting 13 in his heart, jumped up too, and was directly knocked into the air by Rodman.
This scene was quite embarrassing for a time, and the entire Warriors bench was filled with a happy atmosphere.
