Chapter 425
The Bulls win over the Warriors is a big deal, especially for Bulls fans.
For three years in a row, they played against each other five times, but they couldn't win even once. This kind of feeling, not to mention Jordan, even the fans are not happy.
Therefore, this victory is also a milestone for the fans. At least in the future, when they scold on the street, they will not be at a loss for words because of the relationship between victory and defeat, and it also gives them a weapon to fight back.
However, for the majority of fans other than the Bulls, although this game is dramatic and interesting, it is not that important. As Li Weisi said, "This is just a regular season." .
Compared with the Bulls defeating the Warriors, fans are more concerned about how far the Warriors' record can reach.
The loss to the Bulls is the ninth loss of the Warriors this season, and the Warriors have won 60 games. There is still nearly a month before the end of the regular season. No one believes that the Warriors will create a new history record.
The day after the loss to the Bulls, that is, the day Frank went to Li Weisi's house, the two went to Charlotte with the team to play against the Hornets that night.
Speaking of which, the team history of the Hornets is quite messy. The earliest establishment of the Hornets was the Hornets who joined the NBA family this season, but later in 2002, the Hornets moved to New Orleans. The name has not changed, and it is still called the Hornets. .
And two years later, in 2004, Charlotte re-established a new team, the Charlotte Bobcats.
In 2013, the New Orleans Hornets changed their name to the Pelicans. One year later, on the 1988th anniversary of the Bobcats, the Bobcats changed their name to the Hornets, and the history of the team from 2002 to [-] , officially assigned to the name of the Hornets.
In other words, the current Hornets are not the future Hornets, but they are indeed the future Hornets.
In short, no matter what, the Hornets at this time do not have such a complicated team history. He is just a rookie team in the first year of the team.
Although this game was held in Charlotte, more than half of the fans at the scene "rebelled" and became Warriors fans.
Compared with the Hornets lineup composed of leftovers, the Warriors are more eye-catching in terms of stars, record, or style of play.
What's more, Charlotte is a city with a well-developed financial industry and many middle classes. From the perspective of their own values and world outlook, they naturally prefer Li Weisi over Jordan, who represents the people at the bottom.
Of course, this is not absolute. There are people in the middle class who like Jordan, and those in the bottom class also like Li Weisi. However, in the United States, a society with highly polarized identity politics, the vast majority of people will still be affected by their own class. See his views on some things, which naturally also includes the choice of idols.
It was in this situation that the cheers that Li Weisi received on the court tonight were much higher than the cheers when his own team scored a goal.
Therefore, this game came to an end in this environment where their own fans "rebelled" at home. The Warriors were not in danger and defeated the Hornets 113:104.
Li Weisi's performance in this game is worthy of the fans' welcome. He played 35 minutes and scored 36 points and 7 assists.
The fans of the Hornets also expressed satisfaction with their team's ability to resist to the end. As for winning?That's impossible to win!This scene has not been seen a few times this season!
The next day, back to back away games, the Warriors came to the big city of New York, and came to Madison Square Garden, the holy land of basketball.
In this game, Ma Long rested, Mullin and Richmond both broke out and scored 70 points together, which made Li Weisi completely reduced to a soy sauce-like role in this game. He only scored 13 points and almost scored in double figures in a row. However, in addition to scoring, Li Weisi can still help the team in other aspects, such as his 16 assists and 6 steals.
In fact, the performance of the Knicks this season has been quite good, and it can even be said that the team has ushered in a revival. .
The team consisting of Mark Jackson, Gerald Wilkins, John Newman, Charles Oakley and Patrick Ewing started the team, and they had very strong strength on both ends of the offense and defense.
If it weren't for Vandeweghe's reimbursement for the season traded this season, the Knicks' lineup depth would be even more terrifying.
The team's strength is more prominent in terms of record. Since the beginning of the season, they have achieved 47 wins and 24 losses. Facing the Warriors, the team resisted for three and a half quarters, exactly three quarters, six minutes and 15 seconds.
Originally, the Knicks played back and forth with the Warriors in the first three quarters. When entering the fourth quarter, the Warriors led by two points 96:94.
But no one expected that it took only 2 minutes for the Warriors to come off the bench to open the point difference to 10 points. After that, Nelson replaced Richmond and Mullin, who played well tonight. Even Li Weisi was absent. Ren played another wave and directly opened the point difference to 20 points.
During this period, Nelson originally planned to let Li Weisi play, but it was a pity that Li Weisi stayed on the sidelines for a long time, and there were no dead balls on the field. In the end, he put on the training uniform that he had originally thrown away.
When the Knicks called a timeout, the game was completely over. In desperation, Li Weisi could only sit back on the bench and continue to watch the team's substitutes play on the court.
The team finally beat the Knicks 134:114. Mullin scored a game-high 37 points, plus 6 rebounds and 6 assists, while Richmond also scored 34 points.
After defeating the Knicks, the Warriors also completely ended all their games in March, achieving a record of 62 wins and 9 losses.
In fact, the Warriors didn't play well in the three-point range. They lost a total of five games, which is more than their previous four months combined.
However, it is not without gain.
Through the busiest schedule in March, the Warriors completed the adjustment of the team's status, got rid of the negative impact caused by the super long winning streak, and put the team on the right track.
And although entering April, the Warriors will continue to adjust their status. As for the final number of game wins, the Warriors' top management is very clear-headed. Next, get the record by hand.
It's good to be successful, and it's no pity to fail!
After all, for Frank, he is too aware of the difference between the champion with 72 wins and the runner-up with 73 wins!
The Warriors have only one goal this year, and that is to win the championship!
