Chapter 653 The key to victory
Chapter 653 The key to victory
Entering the second half, the Celtics set off a wave of offensive climax.
This offensive wave was not initiated by one person, but was fully blossomed. For a while, Lewis, Jamber, Brown and others made shots one after another, so the whole game situation began to develop towards a situation that was not conducive to the Warriors.
Seeing that the point difference has inevitably been widened.
Fortunately, tonight Li Weisi not only feels good on the outside, but also breaks through to the inside to cause damage. The inside line composed of Bird and Parish cannot well limit Li Weisi's breakthrough.
As a result, Li Weisi's scoring efficiency was extremely high, which also drove the Warriors' offense, so that the Celtics did not pull the point difference to the point where it was difficult to recover.
Not only that, the Warriors' substitute came forward again tonight, and this time it was the turn of Celtics veteran Brian Shaw.
It is said that facing the old master will add buffs, which was fully reflected in tonight's game.
On weekdays, Shaw seldom gets any decent opportunities in the Warriors. However, this time when Petrovic left, the Warriors' bench was vacant, and he finally had some playing time.
And Shaw also seized this opportunity tonight. When other teammates on the team, such as Starks, Curry, Divac, etc., were not on time, he was able to stand up and score the ball.
Not only has the middle distance, but also has a breakthrough layup, which seems to be full of presence on the court.
With Shaw's efforts, the Warriors successfully chased the score to within 10 points at the end of the three quarters.
Entering the final quarter, the rest of the Warriors finally regained their touch and fired continuously. The point difference was narrowed all the way, and they couldn't stop.
Seeing that he was only 2 points away from catching up, and only one round away from tying the score, Bird stood up again, facing Rodman's defense, and hit a super long three-pointer, which interrupted the Warriors at once. The team's chasing momentum.
Afterwards, under the leadership of Li Weisi, although the Warriors have been scoring, they have never been able to play such a wave of climax, and the score has been unable to catch up.
Sometimes, the trend of the whole game is often determined by this one ball, and superstars are often able to hit such goals, even if he is old, this is the value of him being a superstar.
Obviously Bird is such a superstar.
In the end, the score was fixed at 128:112. The Celtics defeated the Warriors away and retreated from the Oracle Arena.
Li Weisi scored a game-high 45 points and 12 assists tonight. In addition, no one from the Warriors scored more than 20+.
On the Celtics side, four of the team scored 20 points. Among them, Larry Bird made 6 of 4 three-pointers and scored a team-high 29 points.
Lewis scored 24 points, the second highest in the team. Just looking at tonight's performance, Lewis's performance is indeed better than Mullin's.
It can be said that just looking at tonight, Lewis did defeat Mullin, which can be regarded as fulfilling one of his dreams.
After losing to the Celtics, on the 16th, the Warriors ushered in the challenge of another strong team in the East at home, the Philadelphia 76ers.
Compared with last season, the 76ers' record this season is not as good as last season. In fact, the 76ers' management has been signing in a lot, but unfortunately the effect does not look very satisfactory.
On the one hand, it was because the players who were traded were either not strong enough or had passed their peak period. On the other hand, their own team also encountered injuries. The starting point guard John Dawkins was reimbursed for the season after only playing four games. up.
In addition, including Barkley, many of the main players have more or less missed many games.
The personnel of the 76ers tonight is relatively complete. The starting five are: Ricky Green, Jose Hawkins, Charles Barkley, Rick Mahon and the newly traded Almon Gilliam.
It can be said that, except for Dawkins, the other main players of the 76ers are already in the formation.
It stands to reason that such a two-strong encounter should have a fierce battle, but I didn't expect that after the start, the Warriors' offensive directly stunned the 76ers.
As well-known stars, whether it is Mullin or Richmond, they have gradually reached the pinnacle of their careers. Their adjustment ability does not allow them to play bad performances continuously.
No, at the beginning of the first quarter, Mullin hit the left and Richmond hit the right, which quickly turned the 76ers' defense into paper.
Faced with such a series of goals, the 76ers actually struggled, especially Barkley, the core of the team. In front of him, Rodman was like a child, unable to prevent Barkley's impact on the basket.
Poor Rodman, his defensive ability is clearly at the forefront of the league, but he has to face the challenge of the league's top strikers in two consecutive games, and his styles are different.
If Bird's offense is more like Tai Chi, using softness to overcome rigidity, then Barkley's offense is Dragon Elephant Prajna Kung Fu, open and close, and tough from the front.
Obviously, Rodman was a little uncomfortable just now.
Rodman's weight is no disadvantage against ordinary small forwards, but against Barkley, he can only be knocked into the air.
However, in the face of this situation, Rodman never flinched. Even if he was knocked into the air, he would immediately get up from the ground, and then charged towards Barkley, and let him knock himself into the air again. .
With Rodman's unremitting efforts and the efficient performance of other Warriors players, the Warriors scored 45 points in the first quarter, leading the 45ers by 31 points in 76:14.
I'm afraid the 76ers didn't expect before the game that they scored more than 30 points in one quarter and could still lose so much. What a ghost!
However, facing the Warriors, there are so many magical things happening.
For the Warriors, Mullin scored 13 points in the first quarter, Richmond scored 11 points, and the two scored 24 points together, and they both shot more than [-]% of the shots. They were in extraordinary condition.
And the game in the first quarter was like a microcosm of the whole game. No matter how the 76ers struggled, they couldn't get over the mountain of the Warriors.
In the end, the Warriors defeated the 133ers 124:76 at home, avoiding a two-game losing streak.
In the fourth quarter, the 76ers set off a wave of counterattacks and once narrowed the point difference to less than 10 points, but this was already their limit. Li Weisi's two three-pointers immediately made their idea of chasing points a fantasy .
Barkley scored a game-high 40 points, but it was still empty.
For the Warriors, Mullin scored a team-high 37 points and 6 assists, Richmond scored 30 points and 6 assists, Li Weisi scored 26 points and 11 assists, the Big Three scored 93 points, and the offensive firepower was once again on display .
Malone also performed very well tonight, scoring 14 points and 14 rebounds. Together with Rodman, who grabbed 15 rebounds, he controlled the rebounds of the entire game and became the key to the Warriors' victory.
