Chapter 877 Will You Lose?
Chapter 877 Will You Lose?
The Warriors' offense tonight was far more difficult than they imagined. Li Weisi hit the first goal after the opening. It has been more than three minutes since the opening. This is not over. In the next two minutes or so, the Warriors Only Divac scored 2 points again.
It is very difficult for the team to score a goal. This is not what Warriors fans want to see at home. The smooth offense that the Warriors want to see cannot be seen in this game, or even in the entire series. arrive.
Fortunately, although the Warriors had difficulty scoring, the Jazz were not much better. Halfway through the first quarter of the game, the two teams scored 9:4, and the Jazz led by 5 points.
From the perspective of point difference, such a result is not unacceptable.
However, if they want to win, the Warriors must change this situation and not let the rhythm fall into the hands of the Jazz. Otherwise, even if they can win this game, it is impossible to guarantee that they will win the next three games.
Unfortunately, although the Warriors tried their best to push the rhythm in the first quarter, the effect was not good, and the score was delayed. By the end of the first quarter, the score was 11:17, and the Warriors were still 6 points behind.
In the whole quarter, the Warriors only scored 11 points, which is ashamed of their title as an offensive team.
However, the situation of all these things got better in the second quarter. To be precise, it finally got better when Li Weisi played again in the second quarter.
I don't know what Nelson said to Li Weisi during the intermission. In short, when Li Weisi came back, he decisively increased his shots.
At first, the Jazz didn't care. After all, when other Warriors players can't score high, it is very normal for the ball to be handed over to Li Weisi.
However, gradually they realized something was wrong, why is this guy so fierce?
Li Weisi, who only scored 4 points in the first quarter, scored 3 points in just 10 minutes of the second quarter. You must know that the Jazz team only scored 8 points in this quarter.
Hornacek missed another shot and the rebound was taken by Rodman.
Tonight, Hornacek is no longer magical, and his shooting percentage is very miserable. So far in the game, he has only made 5 of 1 shots. The only positive effect he can play on the court is probably to open up space.
Rodman immediately found Li Weisi, who was already near the center line, and Li Weisi immediately dribbled the ball forward after receiving the ball.
At this time, what the Jazz are most afraid of is Li Weisi holding the ball. At this time, Li Weisi is simply unstoppable, and almost all the Warriors' points come from Li Weisi.
Stockton followed Li Weisi closely, defending while retreating, not daring to give Li Weisi any shooting space. After all, as long as he crossed the center line, it was Li Weisi's offensive range.
However, at this moment, one step away from the three-point line, Li Weisi directly chose a three-point shot, and Stockton, who was defending him, was caught off guard and directly hit Li Weisi's arm.
However, because Stockton's strength was not enough, after Li Weisi's arm was hit, although his shooting was disturbed, he still relied on his waist and abdomen strength to throw the ball.
The referee blew the whistle at the first time. It was a foul and three free throws were required. After hearing the whistle, Stockton had given up trying to grab the rebound and wanted to argue with the referee to see if he could make three free throws. The free throws were changed to two, although he also knew that hope was slim.
But on his way to find the referee, suddenly the whole scene erupted into violent cheers, and Stockton looked back blankly, only to see that the basketball had landed on the floor.
Fortunately, the replay started immediately on the big screen, allowing Stockton to appreciate Li Weisi's miraculous goal.
After being fouled by Stockton, Li Weisi threw the ball with all his strength in the air. Under such circumstances, the basketball was still hollow into the net, which is simply incredible.
Seeing this scene, Stockton no longer intends to go to the referee, not to mention changing 3 free throws to 2, but now, Li Weisi directly relied on his own efforts to turn the free throw into 1.
The extra penalty hit, and with Li Weisi's "3+1" this time, the Warriors not only overtook the score in the second quarter, but also further expanded the score.
By the end of halftime, the score had been rewritten to 37:31, and the Warriors led by 6 points.
Although such a score was not greatly affected by the low score in the first quarter, the Warriors scored 26 points in a single quarter throughout the second quarter, which has returned to a normal level.
And Li Weisi is undoubtedly the biggest hero of the Warriors in the second quarter. He scored 15 points in a single quarter alone, more than half of the team's points. , Without Li Weisi's strong offensive firepower, the Warriors may have lost the suspense of the game at halftime.
But even so, the Warriors are only leading temporarily at this time, and the point difference is only 6 points. If the Warriors can't maintain it, they may be overtaken by the Jazz again at any time in the second half.
Sure enough, Warriors fans didn't have to wait too long to see this scene. Of course, if they could, they might never want to see this scene.
Shortly after the start of the second half, the Jazz successfully tied the score with hits by Malone and David Benwer.
But at this time, due to Li Weisi's activeness in the first half, other Warriors players finally showed signs of recovery in the second half. Coupled with Li Weisi's huge offensive threat, the Jazz desperately defended him, creating a lot for other players. Chance.
Under such circumstances, in the third quarter, the two teams scored 28:26. After the third quarter, the Warriors still maintained a 4-point lead.
However, this advantage was quickly wiped out by the Jazz in the fourth quarter. Obviously, the Jazz did not want to admit defeat easily. If there is a chance to sweep the Warriors 3:0, the Jazz will definitely do their best.
Time passed bit by bit, and with the last 5 seconds left before the end of the game, Li Weisi used an emergency stop to step back for a three-pointer, and successfully hit a crucial three-pointer on Stockton's head. Divide the ball.
The goal was scored, and the Warriors successfully led the Jazz by three points 83:80, leaving only 5 seconds for the Jazz. At this time, the Jazz had no other choice but to bet on the three-pointer.
However, the Jazz's three-point shooting rate tonight is terrible. The team made 9 of 1 shots, and the team's substitute Byron Russell made the three-pointer.
The Jazz came back from a timeout and replaced all those who could shoot three-pointers. Except for Malone, the other four could shoot three-pointers.
In this situation, the first to be defended is naturally Hornacek and Russell who made a three-pointer tonight.
In this case, Stockton stood up. After receiving a pass from Malone, he dribbled a step and forced a three-pointer without completely getting rid of Li Weisi.
However, what everyone didn't expect was that Stockton, who had never shot a three-pointer tonight, actually made this three-pointer at the last moment of the game.
When the lights came on and the goal was scored, all the fans at the scene were stunned, and everyone entered a state of sluggishness. Looking at the Jazz fans celebrating each other on the court, everyone felt a sense of unreality.
Why are the Jazz so strong?Your own team is playing like this, but they still can't win?
Can the Warriors really win?
