Chapter 505
Chapter 505
After Malone returned in the second quarter, the Jazz's offense finally returned to normal.
Not only that, because Malone played at the beginning of the second quarter, and because Rodman also played the first quarter with Li Weisi, he did not play with Malone in the second quarter.
So, facing Anthony Mason Jr. who was defending him, Malone could be regarded as venting, and almost ate Mason.
Poor Mason, this is only his second season. Although he has improved rapidly, he is still unable to defend against the top three power forwards in history on the defensive end.
However, the Warriors' bench is also very strong. Although the Jazz's offense has returned to normal, the Jazz has no good restrictions on the offense of the Warriors' bench, especially Hornacek and Petrovic. They teamed up to score 11 points and helped the team maintain the score. The Jazz, led by Malone, worked hard, but still could not narrow the point difference.
The excellent performance of the Warriors' substitutes also allowed Li Weisi and others to rest off the court with peace of mind without having to play in advance, and this also made the cheap and good-looking Rodman talk about playing on the sidelines.
There is no other reason, but he really can't understand Ma Long's twitching when he is not around, it's too f*cking to clean up.
Finally, more than 4 minutes after the start of the second quarter, with a dead ball, Rodman finally stood on the court again.
As soon as he came up, Rodman started to find his beloved Karl again!Give him a big loving hug, the kind that doesn't let go.
However, this time, it was not easy for Rodman to repeat Malone's foul. After all, Malone, who had suffered twice, paid great attention to controlling his own fouls, which made Rodman have nowhere to speak.
Even in a defense, the referee called Rodman's foul, obviously Rodman was a little anxious.
Seeing that Malone's third offender never arrived, Li Weisi took the initiative to stand up and deliberately passed the pick-and-roll with Rodman, creating a singles opportunity to face Malone.
He hit Malone twice in a row, but Malone was very restrained and did not allow Malone to get fouled.
However, the Ni Bodhisattva is also very angry, not to mention that Malone is still a violent temper. Li Weisi's continuous singles, isn't it just saying that Malone is the Jazz's worst defender?
Finally, in the third singles, Malone finally made a move.
This time, Li Weisi still used the pick-and-roll to force the Jazz to make a substitution.
Although the Jazz didn't want to make a substitution, as long as there was any hesitation, Li Weisi would make a move immediately, forcing the Jazz to let Malone switch defenses.
After the substitution, Ma Long, who is 206cm, wants to keep up with Li Weisi's footsteps, which can basically be said to be a dream.
Li Weisi made several consecutive changes of direction and worshiped Buddha, and then easily broke through Ma Long's defense. The whole process can be said to be a classic textbook for playing small games.
After breaking through Malone's defense, Li Weisi came to the basket and quickly collected the ball. However, at this moment, Li Weisi suddenly slowed down. His three-step layup was very slow, so slow that when he took off, Malone had already passed the ball from behind. caught up.
However, this is exactly what Li Weisi wanted. Seeing that Ma Long had already caught up, Li Weisi kicked hard on the ground, jumped up high, and stretched the ball into the air at the same time.
Seeing the whole ball dangling in front of him, Ma Long couldn't hold back his hand not to block him. After struggling for a while, Ma Long couldn't help stretching out his hand.
However, at the same time that Ma Long stretched out his hand, Li Weisi suddenly retracted the ball in the air, came a lever, and threw the ball from the other side of the basket. At the same time, in the air, the two had physical contact. Seeing Li Weisi, he hit Li Weisi's head with his arm instead.
The basketball flew out of Malone's armpit and hit the backboard. With a strong spin, it fell into the basket. The referee whistled, two plus one.
For a long time, Li Weisi gave people the impression that he was a floor player, who almost didn't jump if he couldn't jump. But this time, in order to lure Malone to the bait, Li Weisi jumped so high that his head was almost touching the net.
Although it can't be compared with most of the flying beasts with flat heads in the league, yes, here I am reading the ID number of a man surnamed Qiao!But for Li Weisi, this is also a very rare behavior.
Li Weisi's movements are very stretched in the air. He has always paid special attention to the flexibility of the body. He often does yoga, but unfortunately he has not shown much.
This aerial work made people discover that Li Weisi's movements were also somewhat elegant.
After the goal was scored, Malone could only rest obediently again, and the Jazz's offensive rhythm was once again destroyed.
At the end of halftime, the Warriors had already led the Jazz by as much as 70 points with 50:20.
However, although Rodman and Li Weisi teamed up to put Malone on the bench, in the second half, Malone came back to life again.
Although Rodman has never given up fighting against Malone, making Malone foul itself is a rare thing, and it is impossible to work every time.
As a result, Malone played the entire third quarter, chasing the point difference to only 14 points.
This is not a safe point difference, so Li Weisi had to play again in the fourth quarter and work overtime.
Faced with a lead of more than ten points, all the players of the Warriors can be said to have fully occupied the mentality advantage, so they played very loosely. With the assist of Li Weisi, they hit all kinds of fairy balls in succession.
Not only that, because the Jazz did not adopt a double-team tactic against Li Weisi tonight, which made Li Weisi whatever he wanted in the face of Stockton's solo defense.
In this way, although the Jazz responded on the offensive end, they could not narrow the point difference after all. The Warriors finally beat the Jazz 123:110.
Li Weisi played perfectly in this game, played 36 minutes, made 22 of 16 shots, 72.7% shooting, 9 of 6 three-pointers, scored 44 points and 12 assists.
This kind of performance dwarfed Stockton, who had 14 points and 15 assists against him.
Don't look at Stockton's assists, but most of them were on Malone in the second half, and many of them were scored against Hornacek.
Malone was the Jazz's best player this time. Although he played only 33 minutes because of Rodman, he still scored 29 points and 4 rebounds.
As for the other Warriors players, Richmond scored 22 points, Lewis had 16 points, Duckworth had 11 points, Rodman had 6 points and 18 rebounds, Hornacek had 14 points, Petrovic had 12 points, and the team had a total of 6 points. People scored in double figures.
The victory in this game allowed the Warriors to avoid a three-game losing streak, and also allowed the players to completely walk out of the haze of a two-game losing streak, and march towards a new round of victory.
