Chapter 481 Misfortunes Never Come Alone
After easily winning the opener, the Warriors did not stop their winning streak.
No. 4 faced the Rockets back to back. Facing the Rockets led by Olajuwon, the Warriors didn't care who the opponent was, and beat the Rockets 132:105.
Then, on the 7th away scene against the Clippers, they easily won again at 118:94.
A wave of three consecutive victories at the start of the game made people cry wolf, and they even faintly felt that this year's Warriors seemed to be even stronger than last season.
In fact, their feeling is really not wrong. Most of the Warriors' players are still young players. They are gradually approaching the peak of their careers. Bi Lu, the Warriors this season are more like epee without front, and their internal strength has improved.
Since then, other teams in the league have felt that the finale has been staged ahead of schedule. Such a 70-win team is still evolving. How can other teams survive?
So much so that when the next opponent the Warriors are about to face is the Lakers, no one still has confidence in the Lakers, thinking that the Lakers who were swept in the Western Conference Finals last season can bring any trouble to the Warriors, not to mention that the Lakers are stronger than last season. also dropped.
After the end of last season, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar announced his retirement. The retirement of such a superstar has a huge impact on the Lakers, even if the superstar is 42 years old.
In this year's draft, due to the Warriors' interception, the Lakers failed to select a center who could replace Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. They could only use Michael Thompson as the center. As a result, the Lakers' substitute strength was greatly reduced.
Ahem, so it is impossible for the Warriors to relax their vigilance in the face of such a team of former kings. Facing their old rivals, the Lakers, they have gone all out from the first moment of the game.
Facing Li Weisi's defense, Scott missed another layup. This was the third time he missed a layup tonight, and it was still the first quarter of the game.
After interfering with Scott's layup, Rodman jumped to protect the rebound and found Li Weisi immediately.
This point of Rodman is very good. He can find the key person as soon as he grabs the rebound, which will not delay the Warriors' counterattack. The way Li Weisi grabs rebounds plays.
Although it destroyed Li Weisi's chance to get a triple-double, it allowed Rodman to grab a sufficient number of rebounds. Since this season, although there are only three games, his average rebounds per game have surpassed Malone and become the Warriors. The player with the highest rebounds.
Moreover, this is not an accident, but the deliberate result of Nelson's tactics.
After Li Weisi got the ball, it was no problem to push and counterattack. The moment he got the ball, Richmond and Mullin had already flew on both sides.
Li Weisi looked at the right time, and a long pass found Richmond who had already started to cut inside. Richmond's speed did not decrease, and he took off quickly after receiving the ball, dunking with both hands!
Li Weisi wore this ball very comfortably, but at such a long distance, he was able to grasp Richmond's exciting speed and pass the ball there accurately, which shows how terrifying Li Weisi's passing ability is.
Magic Johnson, who came to the backcourt, was also very emotional. Even if he was himself, it was impossible to pass a more beautiful pass than this.
However, the magician soon came to his senses. This is not the time to lament that Li Weisi passed the ball. The Warriors have already beaten the Lakers 16:8. If he doesn't work harder, the game may end early.
Fortunately, Magic Johnson is one of the world's superstars after all. In the next round, he quickly found AC Green who had a counter-run opportunity. He threw the ball high and found Green who had jumped up. Green was in the air Get the ball and get ready for an alley-oop dunk.
Due to Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's retirement, Green has even heavier tasks this season. Although his offensive ability cannot be compared with Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, his enthusiasm still allows him to find many opportunities, such as now.
However, just as he was about to dunk, a figure blocked his front. It was Moses Malone. Although Malone was 34 years old at this time, his bullet speed had kept up with the 26-year-old Green, and he blocked it with his hands in the air. Green's imperative dunk.
In the end, the dunk was successfully destroyed by Malone. Then, both of them lost control of the basketball and fell to the ground after landing. The rebound was picked up by Rodman again.
So, almost the same tactic as the last round appeared again. Rodman passed the ball to Li Weisi, and once again found the flank that had already made a fast break. However, this time he did not pass the ball to Richmond, but passed it to Li Weisi. Mullin.
Facing Worthy, who had returned to defense, Mullin feinted from outside the three-point line and sent Worthy flying, and then rushed into the penalty area in three slow steps. Facing the magician who came over to defend, he actually wanted to dunk him.
It has to be said that Mullin still overestimated his jumping and confrontation, but it was not without achievements. The magician did not cover Mullin with this ball, but hit Mullin's hands. destroyed.
However, when he landed, Mu Lin didn't stand firm, and broke his right leg outwards. Immediately, Mu Lin couldn't stand up, and fell directly to the ground in pain.
The hearts of all the Warriors suddenly "thumped", because the injuries in this situation are likely to be injuries to the ligaments or knees, but no matter which one is not a minor injury.
However, before everyone went to check, they found that Ma Long behind him hadn't stood up until now. It turned out that after Ma Long fell in Yu Green at the same time just now, he landed on his back, and it seemed that he had injured his back.
This is great, in one offensive round, the Warriors injured the second and third players in a row, and more importantly, the injuries didn't seem to be minor injuries, it's really unlucky to grandma's house!
Not only the players, but the fans at the scene were also covering their heads in pain. It was difficult for them to accept the scene in front of them. They only hoped that the players would be fine, even if there was only one player.
At this time, the atmosphere on the court was even more flustered than in the auditorium. Since two players were injured at the same time, the Warriors' team doctor couldn't handle it at all. Nelson had to apply quickly to ask the Lakers' team doctor to check Malone. This would not delay the game. It can also protect the safety of the players in the first place, and finally the referee agreed to Nelson's application.
As a result, the entire game was suspended like this, and the team doctors of the two teams appeared at both ends of the field carrying medicine boxes at the same time. This is really a double disaster!
