Chapter 548
Li Weisi hit consecutive three-pointers to help the team quickly catch up with the game. Blazers fans watched the game that had lost suspense, and was chased back by Li Weisi bit by bit. The feelings in their hearts were mixed.
However, this momentum of chasing points cannot last long after all. After the Blazers went through the initial chaos caused by not adapting, they quickly adjusted and stabilized the offense in time, and the point difference also stabilized. In the game, although Li Weisi's offensive continued unabated, the momentum of chasing points was finally contained.
At this time, looking up, the point difference has been chased by the Warriors to about 10 points.
With such a point difference, for some weak teams, the Blazers may be able to maintain it until the end and win the game, but when the opponent is the Warriors, no one thinks that this will be a safe point difference. After all, for Li Weisi, it is only four. It's a three point thing.
In this way, throughout the third quarter, Li Weisi scored 23 points in a single quarter. You must know that the Blazers only scored 27 points in this quarter.
So, after three quarters, the Warriors chased the score to 87:99, 12 points behind.
To be honest, Li Weisi played so well, but the team only recovered 7 points, which made the Warriors somewhat disappointed, but the point difference at this time was within the recoverable range, which also made them more confident.
At the beginning of the fourth quarter, it was the Warriors' rotation time.
Because Li Weisi played the full quarter again in the third quarter, Li Weisi was unable to play in the first half of the fourth quarter.
This period of time is very critical for the Warriors, because if the Blazers open the score at this stage, no matter how powerful Li Weisi is, he may not be able to recover.
In this regard, the Warriors' substitutes are well aware that they will not lose at all against the Blazers' mixed lineup.
You know, in order to ensure the team's victory tonight, the Blazers actually adopted a crazier 7-man rotation. It can be said that what the Warriors' substitutes are facing at this time is the main force of the Blazers.
As the team's backup point guard, Hornacek has done a good job this season, but that doesn't mean he's playing comfortably.
In fact, for the choice of play style, he prefers to play in the traditional shooting guard mode. Although he can also organize, he is obviously not as efficient as when Price was there.
Moreover, since Hornacek is the core of the Warriors' bench, he faces the tightest defense on the bench during the game.
Therefore, although Hornacek's playing time has increased this season, rebounds, assists and other data have also increased, but his scoring and efficiency have dropped a lot.
Fortunately, as the season progressed, Petrovic quickly adapted to the NBA, allowing Petrovic to share a lot of possessions from Hornacek.
And tonight, Petrovic even showed his style in the European Championship, playing like a superstar, completely suppressing Hornacek's glory.
However, when the Blazers turned all their attention to Petrovic, Hornacek seemed to be an assassin, and suddenly cast a cold arrow at the weakest point of the Blazers' defense.
He hit two consecutive three-pointers and narrowed the point difference to less than 10 points in one fell swoop. Only then did the Blazers players realize that the most dangerous person on the court for the Warriors at this time has always been the calm Horner gram.
In the end, with the excellent performance of Petrovich and Hornacek, the Warriors not only failed to be opened by the Trail Blazers in the transition period, but further narrowed the point difference to 8 points.
And when Hornacek completed his task, he high-fived Li Weisi when he got off the field: "I have completed my task, and the rest is up to you. This round of the series, I don't want to end at home! "
"Of course! I don't want to!" Hearing Hornacek say this to himself, Li Weisi showed a smile on his face.
Looking at Li Weisi's firm back, Hornacek suddenly felt extremely fulfilled in his heart. He has known Li Weisi for 4 years, and he has learned a lot from Li Weisi and grown a lot.
It can be said that even if he is placed on other teams now, he can become a good starter. Hornacek is full of confidence in this. He is no longer the rookie who thought he could not even get a foothold in the NBA.
However, there is one thing about Li Weisi that I can't learn anyway, that is, he can bring people a sense of security.
It's not that Hornacek is hypocritical, but when Li Weisi stands on the field, he is like a pinnacle of calming the sea, as if as long as he is there, everything is not a problem.
And this may be the reason why Li Weisi is eccentric and impersonal, yet able to convince his teammates!
Li Weisi, who returned to the court, quickly showed why he could be regarded as the backbone. Facing Porter, he hit a super long three-pointer again, reducing the point difference to 5 points again.
It can be said that the Blazers have fallen into the most dangerous situation at this time. Although the team is still in the lead, there is still half a quarter of the game at this time. The Warriors want to overtake, and there is enough time.
Not only that, what made the Blazers even more irritating was that their team's offense had problems again.
Due to Adelman's ultimate 7-man rotation, the Blazers' starting players are all exhausted with half a quarter of the ball.
Apparently Adelman underestimated the speed at which players' physical strength would decline when confronting the Warriors.
But now it has come to the most intense moment of the game, when the bayonet is popular, Adelman just wants to replace the players, but he dare not do so. He can only hope that the players will hold a breath in their hearts and give him support. live.
It's just that Adelman's idea is very good, but it has no practical effect.
In defense, the players gritted their teeth, ran a few more steps, and persisted with their enthusiasm. But in offense, with the exhaustion of physical strength, the shooting movements deformed, and the shooting percentage inevitably began to decline.
Not to mention Kersey and Williams, who performed mediocrely in this game, Porter and Drexler, who played extremely well in the first half, are also very good after playing for more than 38 minutes. Difficult to hit outside shots.
No, this time it was Drexler again. Facing Richmond's defense, he turned his back and made a mid-range jumper. The basketball hit the front of the basket again and missed. Rodman protected the rebound, and the Warriors counterattacked Strikes again.
This time Li Weisi did not choose to pass the ball, but took the ball to the frontcourt immediately, and with a beautiful pull in the air, after avoiding Porter's block, with a soft touch, he completed the finish.
With this layup, the Warriors finally tied the score with 2 minutes and 35 seconds left in the game.
