Chapter 870 Passionate Youth
Chapter 870 Passionate Youth
After the game against the Knicks, the Warriors finally no longer have to face strong teams, and they met three weak teams, the Grizzlies, Kings, and Nuggets.
Although today's warriors are somewhat powerless to fight against powerful enemies, but if they abuse vegetables, they are still handy, and it is a matter of grasping.
Therefore, in the next three games, the Warriors won three games in a row without giving their opponents a chance.
Finally won a wave of four consecutive victories. Next, the Warriors faced the Rockets again. Although Drexler was absent due to injury in this game, only Olajuwon and Barkley were there, but after four quarters After a hard fight, they still defeated the Warriors 96:95, ending the Warriors' four-game winning streak.
Then, the Warriors encountered another wave of injuries in the next game. Rodman, Rose, and Horry were all involved, and the entire team was in a state of turmoil.
Although, during this period, the Warriors defeated the Spurs and the Lakers successively, but then lost consecutively to the Bucks, Spurs and Rockets, suffering a three-game losing streak.
This season, Li Weisi has suffered more consecutive losses than in his entire life.
It wasn't until March 3 that the Warriors met the warm-hearted Clippers, and then they got out of the haze of losing streak and tasted the taste of victory again.
It's just that God doesn't seem willing to let the Warriors go so easily. After a big victory over the Suns, a bloody battle against the Sonics, and a wave of three consecutive victories, the Warriors lost to the Blazers who broke out at home, 109:114.
On the 30th, after defeating the Cavaliers again, the Warriors finally ended all the games in March. At this time, there is less than a month before the playoffs. The Warriors' current record is 48 wins and 24 losses. Dropped to sixth in the West and was overtaken by the Lakers.
The competition for the top six in the Western Conference this year is extremely fierce. In previous years, with 50 wins, they would basically be able to enter the top four, but this year, it seems that they can only reach sixth at most.
Fortunately, except for these six teams, other teams are temporarily unable to pose a threat to the previous teams. The Trail Blazers and Suns, who are ranked seventh and eighth, are almost certain to be unable to catch up with the Warriors, so the Warriors occupy The number of playoff spots is basically no problem.
However, as I said before, the goal of the Warriors has never been the playoffs, but the championship. Throughout the history of the NBA, in terms of record, perhaps the Washington Bullets in the 77-78 season had a better record than the Warriors. Poor, they only achieved 44 wins and 38 losses that year.
However, because the competition in the Eastern Conference was not fierce at the time, even so, the Bullets were still able to rank third in the Eastern Conference.
Except for the Bullets, no other championship team is lower than the top three in the division.
Therefore, just using probability alone can basically sentence the Warriors to death.
However, although the media and fans believe that the Warriors' chances of winning the championship this year have become increasingly slim, the Warriors themselves have not given up just like that, especially Li Weisi. After failing to hit the three consecutive championships in 91, he witnessed Jordan Having won three consecutive championships, it can be said that this matter has almost become Li Weisi's obsession, and he cannot easily let go of it.
When the Warriors are working hard for the playoffs, the crazy March of the NCAA has finally come to an end.
This year's March Madness has been full of good shows, especially the emergence of supernovas, which has also greatly improved the viewing experience of the entire game.
One of the most famous games was the NCAA Eastern Conference semifinals. The two sides were Georgetown University led by Allen Iverson and the University of Connecticut led by Ray Allen.
The two Allen played extremely fiercely in this game. From the first moment of the game, both sides worked hard.
With 38.1 seconds left before the end of the game, Georgetown University led the University of Connecticut by 74 point 73:1.
The University of Connecticut served the ball in the frontcourt, but due to the tight defense of Georgetown University, the team's main controller could only catch the ball in the backcourt, thus avoiding the 5-second violation.
Then he dribbled the ball to the frontcourt to press time. Since the NCAA's attack time is 30 seconds, UConn has been pressing the attack time until there are 9 seconds left before launching an attack.
At this time, Ray Allen cut in from the wing, and his teammates handed the ball to him. He took the ball to the free throw line and directly chose a dry pull.
However, Georgetown University's defenders were so tight that Ray Allen couldn't make a shot even though he had already jumped up. As a last resort, he could only choose to pull the lever in the air first, avoid the defender's block, and then force his shot.
With such an exaggerated goal, the first reaction of everyone on the field was to grab a rebound. However, after the basketball bounced on the rim, it fell into the rim with confidence.
In this way, Ray Allen, who had played almost the entire game, quasi-killed Georgetown University at the last moment.
Of course, Georgetown University still has a chance at this time. There are 13.6 seconds left before the end of the game. If they can score, then the victory will still belong to them.
However, it is a pity that after Iverson dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, facing Ray Allen's defense, he used a large frontal change of direction to create a shooting space, and then under the interference of three defenders, Shots missed and time eventually ran out on rebounds.
In this way, Georgetown University, which was more optimistic before the game, was killed by Ray Allen, and the University of Connecticut advanced to the next round.
In fact, such fierce competitions can be found everywhere in the NCAA, not to mention the subsequent games, which were the ACC championship finals before the competition for the Sweet Sixteen spot. The two teams that entered the national top eight, Vic Forest University and Georgia Tech meet here.
One is a junior who averaged 19.1 points and 12.3 rebounds per game, Wake Forest Flying Devil, Tim Duncan, and the other is a freshman boy who averaged 18.9 points and 4.5 assists per game, "Lone Wolf" Stephen Ma brie.
The whole game also entered into a fever from the very first moment. After a full 40 minutes of fighting, the two teams reached the last moment of the game, and had fallen into a long three-point grab and foul tactics.
In the end, as Duncan missed two free throws and Marbury missed the lore, Wake Forest University narrowly beat Georgia Tech by one point.
这场比赛，邓肯拿到了27分21板4盖帽6助攻的全面数据，而头号对手马布里则砍下了29分。
It's a pity that these favorites still missed the championship in the end. The final championship was won by the Wildcats of the University of Kentucky, which has no super rookies, but has a strong overall strength, and the MOP was won by the little-known Tony Delk.
So far, this year's NCAA has officially ended. The young players who have galloped on the court either stay in school and continue to fight, or embark on the road of professional players and march towards the NBA.
It's the last day of October. If there are no accidents, this book will officially end next month. Thank you for your company along the way!
I have already thought about the ending, please rest assured that it will not be unfinished.
As for everyone's ending, I will describe it in a few chapters in the form of a postscript.
Finally, thank you for your continuous support. Without your support, I would not have been able to last so long, thank you!
