Chapter 635 Strong start
On December 12, the Warriors played against the Trail Blazers again at home.
At 19:30 in the evening, the entire Oracle Arena fell into warm cheers. Every fan’s face was filled with bright smiles. There was no sense of frustration from the team’s two-game losing streak. tension.
There is no other reason, because tonight the Warriors will finally have all the members.
Since the team suffered two consecutive losses and recovered well from his injuries, there is almost no suspense about Li Weisi's comeback. Surprisingly, Moses Malone will also make his official comeback tonight.
As the team's meritorious veteran, although he was a lie win last year, no one will ignore his contribution to the team, and no one will ignore his strength.
However, as a veteran who has turned 35 years old and has not played for another year, it is still doubtful how much his strength has declined.
Therefore, in tonight's game, Divac still served as the starter, and Malone sat on the bench as a substitute.
Although not a starter, Ma Long's appearance was warmly welcomed by the fans.
As Malone's student, Duckworth also ran over to say hello to Malone before the game.
Looking at his former disciple who has grown up to his current appearance, even Ma Long, who is usually unsmiling, smiled at this time and said: "Fight hard, don't be abused by me tonight!"
"Of course, I won't show mercy, Moses!" Duckworth's dark face also showed a row of white teeth.
There was only a moment of pleasantries before the game, and soon the game officially started. The two sides of the jump ball were still Duckworth and Divac, but this time facing Duckworth, Divac was full of fighting spirit , Actually beat Duckworth in the jump ball.
It was indeed beyond Li Weisi's expectation to win the jump ball. However, Li Weisi reacted very quickly. He got the ball right away, and then rushed out like a conditioned reflex.
The foot injury troubled him for a week and made him miss three games. This made him very annoyed, not for others, but for himself. A leader who cannot help the team when it is most difficult is not a leader.
Of course, he also saw the comments made by outside fans on TV. This was also one of the reasons why he was angry. After all, no one would be happy if his efforts were denied in this way.
Therefore, Li Weisi, who was full of suffocation, showed a strong aggressiveness as soon as he got the ball, which was unexpected by Terry Porter.
This also led to Li Weisi successfully getting rid of Porter's defense with a simple change of direction during the acceleration.
However, passing Porter does not mean that there is nothing in front of him. Buck Williams and Jeremy Kersey of the Blazers have already rushed out from the inside.
Defending Li Weisi is just this bad. You can’t wait for him to come in inside like defending other stars. When defending Li Weisi, you must not give him any shooting space. To die.
Facing the two who rushed over, Li Weisi made an emergency stop and added "worship Buddha", and then continued to break through. Relying on this move, he successfully broke through the seemingly indestructible defense line of the two.
Breaking through this line of defense, Li Weisi and the basket were no longer hindered. He simply licked the basket and scored the ball, 2:0.
Don't underestimate Li Weisi's licking basket. The main reason why he uses the licking basket is to prevent being blocked by the two behind him.
Due to his short height, although he managed to shake Williams and Corsi, he was still at a disadvantage. If he wanted to score, he had to use the time difference to score the ball.
And licking the basket, because there is no parabola, you only need to throw the ball up, and the ball will go in after licking the edge of the basket. There will be no time for the opponent to block the shot. In addition, in order to prevent the opponent from blocking the shot, Li Weisi also chooses a relatively high shot point. Low and in front of him, using his body to create space for the basketball.
It can be said that the reason why Li Weisi was able to go smoothly in the league despite his physical disadvantage is closely related to his striving to do a good job in every detail on the court.
Of course, except dunk!
Taking the lead for the Warriors, Li Weisi's goal really made the Warriors fans happy, but the Blazers are the No. 2 in the West after all, and so far this season, they have only lost 22 games and achieved a proud record of 2 wins and [-] losses.
This record is almost catching up with the season when the Warriors created 70 wins the year before.
Even now, many fans are guessing, if the Blazers continue their current state, can they break the record of the Warriors?
Therefore, such a team of pioneers will never disrupt their rhythm just because of a goal by Li Weisi.
Soon, on the offensive end, with Drexler's emergency stop jumper, the score of the two teams returned to 2:2.
It was the Warriors' turn to attack again. Li Weisi held the ball and still had no intention of handing it over. Facing Porter's single defense, he chose singles.
Li Weisi's abnormal behavior not only surprised his teammates, but even the Blazers' opponents felt that Li Weisi seemed a little different tonight.
It's a pity that they didn't have time to think about it. Li Weisi's speed was very fast. As soon as the Warriors settled down in the frontcourt, he immediately started, and through a small change of direction, he once again broke through Porter's defense.
In fact, Porter's defense is already very good. Among the guards in the league, he is also considered to be top-notch. Unfortunately, Li Weisi thought that he still seemed to be crossing the road in the early morning without any pressure.
This time Li Weisi attacked, the Blazers' defense was much faster than last time, but Li Weisi was faster than them. After only one dribble to get rid of Porter, he immediately collected the ball and chose an emergency stop jumper.
The Blazers, who were caught off guard, once again faced Li Weisi's attack, like puppets on a string, lifeless.
After the basketball left Li Weisi's finger, it got into the basket obediently, 4:2, and the Warriors continued to lead.
It was the Blazers' turn to attack again.
Porter, who was beaten twice in a row, realized that if he wanted to reduce his defensive pressure, he needed to put pressure on Li Weisi in the offense, otherwise, he would be shot into a sieve by Li Weisi sooner or later.
After thinking of this, Porter used back singles, constantly squeezing Li Weisi's space.
Although his body was not as strong as Potter's, Li Weisi did not have the slightest fear, and used his chest to block Potter's back fiercely.
Feeling the power behind him, Porter was a little surprised. It wasn't because of Li Weisi's strength, but because of his grasp of the details of the defense, which made Porter feel powerful but couldn't use it.
As a result, Porter hesitated a bit about how to attack, but it was this kind of hesitation that gave Li Weisi a chance. He shot very accurately, and while Porter was hesitating, he cut on the basketball and succeeded. Completed the steal.
After the successful steal, Li Weisi quickly made a fast break, followed by Porter, who was intercepted one-on-one, which made him feel deeply malicious.
