Chapter 639 tit for tat
Chapter 639 tit for tat
"You're lucky this time! You won't have such good luck next time!" Seeing that it failed to persuade the referee, Jordan sternly said a cruel word to Li Weisi.
"It's not luck, it's wisdom!" Li Weisi didn't care about Jordan's tone, but pointed to his head.
The fact is indeed as Li Weisi said, the reason why Li Weisi was able to block Jordan's forward route in time and caused Jordan's offensive foul.
The reason is that Li Weisi is very familiar with Danzi's breakthrough technology, and he takes every detail and every point of force into consideration. Even so, Jordan has already started to slow down when he is about to make physical contact with Li Weisi. Unfortunately, there is not enough time , Otherwise, it is really possible for Jordan to escape the foul trap.
No way, Jordan’s ability to control his body is too buggy. Looking at his entire career, even though he has made many breakthroughs, few people can make offensive fouls in front of him, because of reaction speed, movement speed, body control, etc. In terms of failure to meet the standard, Li Weisi completed the foul in a way that was almost predictive.
In fact, even he himself can't guarantee that he can make Jordan's foul every time.
However, Jordan would not believe Li Weisi's words, and insisted that this time it was just luck, and then he turned around and ran towards his own half. In the opening round, the two teams attacked each other in the first round, but both sides failed to advance.
Then it was the Warriors' turn to attack again, and this time Li Weisi took the initiative to ask for the ball, preparing for a singles.
Of course, it wasn't that Li Weisi was on top and wanted to have a showdown with Jordan, but that Jordan had already committed a foul once. As long as he committed another foul, Jordan could be off the field early to rest.
It's a pity that Jordan's excellent body control ability makes him equally good at controlling fouls. It is difficult for a man like Li Weisi to succeed.
Sure enough, in this attack, although Li Weisi chose to break through Jordan and lure Jordan to reach out for a foul, Jordan saw through it. He just kept clinging to Li Weisi, but did not make a move.
In the end, Li Weisi scored the ball to the bottom corner, and Mullin missed a three-pointer, which ended the offensive round. No matter whether it was a foul or a goal, none of the goals were achieved.
However, it was not so easy for the Bulls to counterattack this time. Malone and Rodman were like two big mountains at the basket, firmly nailed in the penalty area, and they competed with Grant and Cartwright.
After a chaotic battle, the rebound was still taken by Grant. Although the Warriors failed to grab the offensive rebound, they effectively prevented the Bulls from fast breaking.
This is exactly the Warriors' strategy for the Bulls' defensive counterattack, using the strong offensive rebounding ability inside to interfere with the opponent's fast break at the first time.
However, the Bulls are not a team that only knows how to break fast. They are also good at playing positions. After all, the triangle offense they practiced was originally intended for use in positional warfare.
In the end, the ball was played by Jordan, who successfully broke through Richmond's defense, hit a layup, and scored 2 points first.
This goal is like Kaiselu when you are constipated. With a light poke, there will be a lot of fire.
As the Bulls opened up first, the scoring shortage was broken, and soon the Warriors also scored a goal on the offensive end, and then it was a back-and-forth offense, and the game was very lively.
And, shortly after starting the scoring, Jackson suddenly chose to switch defenders, putting Jordan on Richmond and Li Weisi on Price.
This also made Li Weisi fully fired in the first quarter, entered the scoring mode early, and started to confront Jordan.
At the end of the first quarter, Li Weisi scored 13 points and 2 assists, and Jordan scored 11 points and 3 assists.
The team's score was 28:25, with the Bulls leading by 3 points.
After entering the second quarter, the Warriors' bench finally began to show off. Taking advantage of Jordan's opportunity to rest off the court, Matthew Leonis and Divac teamed up to play a wave of 8:0, overtaking the score.
During this period of time, Matthew Leonis performed quite well, often with brilliant performances.
This is mainly because the relationship between Petrovic and Divac is quite bad now, and there is almost no contact on and off the field. Even after seeing Lewis being traded, he took the initiative to apply for a trade to the team.
As a result, Nelson had to reduce Petrovic's playing time, and the extra time was also divided between Curry and Matthew Leonis.
And Matthew Leonis also seized this hard-won opportunity and played many good games, which also allowed the Warriors to see a candidate who could replace Petrovic.
Although the Warriors' substitutes performed well, the Bulls' rotation time is short. Jordan, who will soon return to the game, can't stand Curry and Matthew Leonis who are turbulent. There is no way. The defense of the two is in front of Jordan. Not enough to watch.
Therefore, when the Warriors returned from the starting lineup, the leading point difference was once again smoothed out, and the two sides almost returned to the same starting line.
However, Mullin and Richmond played poorly tonight, and their shooting percentages fell short of [-]%. This also led to the Warriors' starting offense, which completely relied on the performances of Li Weisi and Malone.
However, the disadvantage of playing against the Bulls with a limping leg like this is extremely obvious, so at the end of the half, the Bulls regained a 64-point lead over the Warriors with 60:4.
The state of Richmond and Mullin still did not improve in the second half. Jordan and Pippen's defense against the two seemed to completely restrict them.
Here I have to say that the adjustments made by Jackson in the first quarter were really powerful. When he realized that Richmond was not in a good state tonight, he took the initiative to let go of Li Weisi. Jordan should continue to lock Richmond to prevent him recovery of feel.
Sure enough, under Jordan's continuous oppressive defense, Richmond's state has never shown signs of recovery, and the Warriors also relied on Li Weisi to survive.
But even so, the point difference between the two sides is still increasing, and when they enter the rotation again, the Warriors have fallen behind by 14 points.
Fortunately, it was Curry and Matthew Leonis who stood up again. After the two played together, they narrowed the point difference to 8 points in the fourth quarter.
After that, Mullin and Richmond recovered slightly, and once chased the point difference to 1 point.
Unfortunately, at the critical moment, Jordan's mid-range hit completely killed the score, and the Warriors just lost the game 123:128.
Li Weisi made 21 of 13 shots and scored 39 points and 11 assists, while Jordan made 25 of 17 shots and scored 42 points, 7 assists and 14 rebounds. The two are also tit for tat in terms of statistics.
Unfortunately, for the Warriors, no one scored 20 points in the starting lineup except Li Weisi, Mullin 14 points, Richmond 11 points, and Malone 16 points. Thanks to Curry scoring 21 points on the bench, Matthew Leo Nice scored 14 points, which allowed the Warriors to keep the suspense to the end.
Unfortunately, in the end, it fell short and left Chicago with a failure.
