Chapter 619
Shortly after the win over the Sonics, the Warriors again suffered their second loss of the season, this time against the Phoenix Suns.
After the start of this season, with the rapid growth of Tim Hardaway, Dan Marley and others, coupled with the mainstay of Tom Chambers, the Suns have a pretty good record, with 4 wins and 1 loss in the rankings record, followed by the Warriors.
In this game, facing the Warriors with strong offensive firepower, the Suns actually chose to attack the Warriors, and what is even more surprising is that the Suns did not lose to the Warriors on offense.
However, in the second half, there was a problem with the Warriors. At critical moments, they failed to score many times in a row and were seized by the Suns.
In the end, the Suns defeated the Warriors 7:119 by virtue of the team's 107 players scoring in double figures, allowing the team to rise to second place in the Western Conference.
However, the Suns did not sit in the second place in the Western Conference for too long. Although they lost to the Suns, the Warriors defeated the Clippers, Kings and Magic consecutively and achieved a wave of three consecutive victories.
The Suns lost to the Clippers and the Spurs one after another, and returned the second place in the Western Conference to the Warriors.
However, the Warriors are also not easy, because their next opponent will be the No. [-] Trail Blazers in the West.
If you say who is the most surprising team after the start of this season, it must be the Trail Blazers.
This summer, they got Duckworth, who spent a lot of effort to sign, which can be called a seamless connection, allowing the Blazers to make up for the last shortcoming.
Since the beginning of this season, they have performed very strongly. Before the battle with the Warriors, they have achieved a proud nine-game winning streak. The Lakers, Pistons, Bulls, Knicks, etc. fell under their iron heels, and they won by big scores in several games.
Now, they are targeting the Warriors again, wanting to avenge their elimination by the Warriors in the playoffs last season.
On November 11, the Warriors will be a guest at the Portland Memorial Stadium, and the No. 20 in the West will have a direct dialogue with the No. [-] in the West.
Every time he came to Portland with the team, Frank would meet up with Paul Allen. The two had similar tastes and regarded each other as confidantes.
Unlike Frank who likes to sit in the first row to watch the game, Allen prefers to sit in the box without being disturbed.
However, today is an exception, perhaps because the team's recent results are so good that Allen is very happy. Therefore, this time Allen chose to sit in the first row with Frank to watch the team's revenge against the Warriors up close. .
Seeing Alan full of confidence, Frank was very upset, thinking: You are all left over from my play!I still don't know what you want to do?
Of course, although Frank despises Allen's behavior, Frank attaches great importance to the strength of the Blazers.
Players in all positions of this Trail Blazers are on the line defensively. On offense, under the coaching of Adelman, the team scored extremely evenly. Seven players in the team scored in double figures, with an average margin of 14.8 points in nine games. , it can be said that both offensive and defensive ends are extremely powerful.
Looking at the current weird state of his team, it's no wonder that Frank will be drumming in his heart, worrying whether the team will escape tonight.
The atmosphere of the two teams is not only the friendship between the bosses, but also the fact that there is no major conflict between the players, especially when Duckworth came to the Blazers, which made the two teams even more harmonious before the game.
However, when the game started, the harmony before the game disappeared, replaced by fierce competition between the two teams.
The Blazers' starting lineup tonight is the regular starters for the season, with Terry Porter, Clyde Drexler, Jerome Kersey, Buck Williams and Kevin Darkwall s.
The Warriors are naturally also a regular lineup.
After the game started, Duckworth jumped to the ball, and the Blazers attacked first.
Porter protected the ball, took the ball to the backcourt, covered the ball with his back, and observed the situation on the field while preventing Li Weisi from picking the ball.
Although everyone in the Blazers scored very evenly, the brain of the team is undoubtedly Terry Porter.
This lesser-known point guard in later generations is definitely a player whose strength is greater than his fame and statistics. He has done a good job in almost all aspects of defense, organization, and shooting. He is an excellent championship puzzle.
And when Porter held the ball at the top of the arc, the two wings of the Blazers also started to act.
Speaking of which, the Blazers' offense this season is a bit like the Warriors last season. Although the players don't have the exaggerated shooting ability of the Warriors, they are obviously stronger for the impact on the basket.
Especially the two flanks of the Blazers, Drexler and Kersey, are good breakthrough players.
For example, this time, by virtue of his excellent physical fitness, Kersi got a fleeting opportunity in front of Mullin while running without the ball.
Of course, Porter would not miss this opportunity and quickly distributed the ball to Kersey.
After receiving the ball, Kersi immediately attacked the basket. During the layup, although he was interfered by Mullin, Kersi's speed did not slow down. He made contact with Mullin while forcefully jumping.
Divac's reaction was not bad, he rushed over to help defend at the first time, turned himself into a wall, and blocked Korsey's front.
In such a situation where there was an interception in front and chasing after, Corsi was not afraid at all. He collided with Divac fiercely in the air, but with his excellent waist and abdomen strength, he controlled his body. Shaped, then avoided Divac's block and completed a layup.
The basketball hit the backboard, bounced off the rim a few times before falling into the rim.
With this difficult layup, Kersey opened the record for the Blazers, 2:0.
Seeing Kersey's layup, if it weren't for the wrong jersey, Frank off the court thought for a moment that the layup was Jordan!
Of course, although the Blazers successfully opened the scoring for the team, everyone's spirit was not relaxed. After scoring, they immediately returned to defense without even having time to cheer.
Sure enough, within two seconds of scoring the goal, the Warriors had already served. Li Weisi followed closely behind with the ball. Just after the Blazers returned to defense, they had already reached the frontcourt.
Facing the Warriors who were rushing to attack, the Blazers quickly built a defensive formation on the spot, trying to stop the Warriors' offense in the first place.
Seeing that the Warriors' fast break couldn't work, Li Weisi didn't stop at all, and directly chose a three-point shot before reaching the three-point line.
Porter was caught off guard, and the defense was a step slower. He could only watch Li Weisi hit a shot, 3:2, and the Warriors immediately pulled back a victory.
Li Weisi used this goal to show the Trail Blazers and their fans that it is not so easy to defeat his own Warriors!
