Chapter 855 Wasting Talent
After losing to the Bulls, the Warriors defeated the Bullets, Eagles and Nets in the next few games in December, ending the December journey with a three-game winning streak.
It has been two months since the start of the game. Although the Warriors encountered a lot of difficulties at the beginning of the game, after getting on the right track, the record has reached 20 wins and 9 losses. Although they are still ranked fifth in the West, they are still tied with the No. Four of the Jazz have the same record.
In addition, there are only 2 and 1 points away from the Spurs and the Rockets, who are second in the West, and only 4 points away from the Supersonics.
The Rockets, who were invincible at the beginning of the game, suffered frequent injuries in the subsequent games. It was often the second or even the first of the Big Three. Even Olajuwon, who played the most games, has been absent until now 4 games, it can be seen that the team's situation is also difficult.
Sweeping away the decline before the start of the game, everything is developing in a good way, which also makes the Warriors fans feel relieved. Although seeing other strong teams perform quite well, the team still retains the hope of winning the championship, which also allows them to continue. expect.
However, when the team played its first game in 1996, it poured cold water on their heads again, because in this home game against the 76ers, Kukoc scrambled for a rebound. Sprained wrist, at least a month's truce, the warrior's flank, which is already full of injuries, is even worse.
Fortunately, there was no danger in this game. Although the Warriors injured another general, the team still defeated the 122ers 111:76 and continued to maintain a four-game winning streak.
However, looking back, No. 5 unexpectedly lost in the game against the Timberwolves.
In this game, the Timberwolves' inside line almost exploded the Warriors' inside line. Tom Gugliotta and Kristen Laettner, the white insider combination, broke out for no reason tonight, scoring 57 points together.
Faced with this sudden outbreak, the Warriors had no good solution. Although they dragged the game into overtime with their strong resilience, they finally defeated the Timberwolves by three points 119:122, giving the league an upset.
After that, the Warriors defeated the Kings, the Suns, and the Grizzlies twice, and achieved a wave of four consecutive victories. It was not until they met the No. 98 Sonics in the Western Conference that they lost 105:[-] to the Sonics.
In this game, the Sonics used their defense to the extreme, firmly limiting the Warriors' shooting percentage to less than 40%. He scored 37 points, of which he hit 5 three-pointers alone, more than Li Weisi.
Faced with such an atypical game, it is only natural for the Warriors to lose.
In the next game, the Warriors successfully avenged the Timberwolves on the 17th.
Although Leitner missed the game due to injury, someone in the Timberwolves still stood up again. This time, the Timberwolves' shooting guard, third-year student Isiah Ryder, stood up.
As the No. 93 pick in the first round in 5, Ryder is not lacking in talent, and he averaged 20 points per game last season.
However, compared with his talent, his misdeeds are more well-known. Being late for training is just an appetizer, and absent from training without reason is commonplace. In addition, he missed the team's plane, spat at fans and airport staff, and fought. Fighting, hiding leaves, etc., and now it's only the third season, and the Timberwolves' management has begun to can't stand him.
Even if he is a scoring expert averaging 20+ points per game, even if he scored 31 points and 7 assists against the Warriors in this game, he still cannot shake the Timberwolves management's desire to trade him.
Facing Ryder's outbreak, although the Warriors were a little surprised, they didn't take it seriously. What's more, Rodman finally ushered in a comeback in this game. In the end, the Warriors defeated the Timberwolves 108:98 and refused to explode. cold.
However, in the second game of Rodman's comeback, the Warriors challenged the Bucks away, but unexpectedly lost again.
Like many big teams, although the Bucks' record is also not very good, they have accumulated a lot of talent. These young players with potential, often one or two of them burst out, are enough to lead the strong team. to fail.
And tonight ushered in the outbreak, it is the Bucks Vin Baker and Glenn Robinson.
As the No. 93 pick in the first round of 8, this year is only his third year, but his data has grown to an average of 20+10 per game, and he is beginning to be considered the best power forward in the league in the future.
Of course, his talent is also worthy of people's evaluation of him. With McHale's long arms and legs, he is simply a big killer in the low post and can easily put the ball into the basket.
In the All-Star voting this season, he ranked ninth among the Eastern Conference forwards, and his teammate, "Big Dog" Glenn Robinson, ranked eighth.
Relying on asking the team for a [-] million yuan contract, he has become famous all over the league before he entered the league. Of course, the most important reason why he dared to ask the Bucks for so much money was his performance in college. His coveted talent.
As a natural super scorer, "Big Dog" Robinson averaged 21.9 points and 6.4 rebounds in his first season in the league.
Of course, just like Ryder, he is not a good bird, although his behavior is not as bad as Ryder, but a waste of talent is just like describing him.
Due to laziness and arrogance, the league is unwilling to promote him, fans don't like him, and after he himself got a big contract, he has nothing to pursue, let alone continue to squeeze his potential and become a strength.
However, these behaviors are very disgusting to Li Weisi. As a player with mediocre talent, he is very envious of those players with good talent and strength.
Therefore, as early as when they first entered the league, Li Weisi persuaded them, hoping that they could cherish their talents and work hard instead of wasting them.
However, in the ears of Glenn Robinson and others, there is no doubt that Li Weisi is relying on the old and provoking them, so they often show their talents when facing Li Weisi.
And that was the case tonight, when Glenn Robinson and Vin Baker combined for 56 points, more than half of the Bucks' total.
It's a pity that the team finally lost to the Warriors 112:100. Li Weisi scored 42 points and used his own actions to tell them the importance of hard work. Unfortunately, whether they can listen to it or how much they listen to is still unknown.
