Chapter 880 They Are Back
If there was one word to describe the first quarter of Game [-] between the Warriors and the Jazz, it would be suffocation.
Returning to the home court, coupled with Malone's comeback, made the Jazz show a hundred times higher fighting spirit than the previous game at the beginning.
It's just that the warriors who turned from desperation also had high morale, and they didn't make any concessions when facing the Jazz.
Therefore, when the two teams collided, it was like sparks hitting the earth. It was extremely fierce. Both sides could put all their energy into fighting for a ball, and no one was willing to take a step back.
Li Weisi was still wearing a mask due to his facial injury. Perhaps he was troubled by the injury. He didn't play very well in the first quarter. The team's scoring mainly came from Richmond and Finley.
In this round of the series, Richmond's performance was not very good, and he was not worthy of the title of the second head of his team, but tonight, especially in the first quarter, he played very well, almost facing Malone When, also does not lose the wind.
Of course, this is not to say that Malone performed badly tonight. In fact, Malone, who was suspended for one game, is holding back his stomach at this time and wants to vent.
In addition, in addition to Malone's performance by the Jazz tonight, Stockton also played well. Of course, the performance here does not refer to organization, but his offense.
Stockton is rare tonight. His shooting percentage is extremely high. Basically, as long as he gets a chance, he will never miss a shot. In the first quarter alone, he made 7 shots from [-] shots and scored [-] points. This is very ugly in normal times. arrived.
However, the scores of the two teams in the first quarter were not high. At 18:22, the Warriors temporarily led by 4 points.
The reason why the Warriors were able to take the lead, on the one hand, was Richmond's outstanding performance. He scored 9 points in a single quarter and became the main contributor to the team's lead. On the other hand, the Warriors' substitute played well, although they only got 6 points, but in terms of defense, the Jazz's offense was completely restricted, so that their mixed lineup only scored 2 points in the last 2 minutes of the first quarter.
However, the Jazz can never be defeated so easily. With their backs at home, they also have the determination to win. Coupled with the fact that the "Xuan Ming Er Lao" is in good condition, it is almost certain that they will definitely bring a counterattack. What caught the Warriors off guard was that they didn't expect the Jazz's counterattack to be so fast.
Only in the second quarter, the Jazz, whose overall offensive efficiency was not high, suddenly seemed to be enlightened. Under the leadership of Malone and Stockton, they immediately set off a wave of offensive climax. Soon, the 4-point difference was eliminated. It was evened up instantly, and at the same time, the scores of the two teams were rapidly expanding. When the point difference reached 6 points, Nelson hurriedly called a timeout and replaced all the starters.
This timeout was called in a timely manner. The returning Warriors started and successfully prevented the further expansion of the point difference. If this could not be stopped, the point difference would definitely be more than 10 points.
At the critical moment, Richmond stepped forward again. First, he used mid-range jumpers to make consecutive hits, and then in the fast break, he made a layup against Hornacek and successfully equalized the score.
It's a pity that two fists are hard to beat with four hands. Although Richmond worked so hard tonight, Li Weisi still didn't feel good tonight. As a result, the Warriors were always in a passive situation and could only continue to persevere.
In this way, at the end of the half, the score of the two teams was 44:46, and the Warriors were temporarily behind by 2 points.
The game was played like this. Although the Warriors were the one behind, they were undoubtedly the winner, because they were only one point behind when Li Weisi only scored 6 points in the first half.
This is equivalent to the Warriors with a limping leg, or a thigh, fighting the Jazz, and finally played a [-]-[-] in the first half.
Therefore, for the entire first half, the Jazz were obviously not satisfied, and the Warriors were obviously not satisfied with Li Weisi either.
However, no one will really explain to Li Weisi directly, because during the intermission, everyone saw Li Weisi who removed the mask and replaced the sponge for the nose. Everyone knows how difficult it is for Li Weisi at this time. Compete, but also compete with injuries.
However, they believe that Li Weisi will come back, they just need to give him a little more time, and they are now buying time for Li Weisi, waiting for Li Weisi's king to return.
Li Weisi didn't keep them waiting. The second half of the game was about to start, and when the Warriors were about to leave the locker room, Li Weisi put the mask back on his face and showed a determined look in his eyes.
Needless to say, the Warriors attacked first at the beginning of the second half.
After Li Weisi brought the ball to the frontcourt, he immediately gave the ball to Richmond. This was the most mainstream style of play for the Warriors in the first half. After all, Richmond was the most offensive threat in the first half. .
After handing over the ball, Li Weisi started his running position. It seemed that the whole process was no different from the first half.
However, just when the Jazz thought so, and couldn't help being attracted by Richmond's breakthrough, Li Weisi suddenly ran back, and at the same time, with the help of Rodman's pick-and-roll, he successfully got rid of Stockton.
Richmond had been waiting for this time for a long time. After seeing that Li Weisi had an open space, he immediately handed the ball to Li Weisi.
As a shooting guard, although Richmond's scoring ability is good, he is by no means a person with a unique style of play. On the contrary, he has always been so selfless that even with Li Weisi, he can contribute 3.5 points per game. more than times.
Although this number is not high, you must know that his teammate Li Weisi is the king of assists!
Therefore, he generally plays the role of the end of the team, and there are not many opportunities for him to transfer the ball. In this case, he is still willing to pass the ball when he meets a teammate with a more suitable position.
Richmond's pass is not good, at least not comparable to Mullin, but Li Weisi didn't think there was any problem after receiving it. On the contrary, he didn't make any adjustments, just turned around after receiving the ball, pulled it up and shot .
In fact, he made shots like this several times in the first half, but unfortunately he couldn't make them.
But God obviously won't be joking with Li Weisi all the time. Faced with the almost empty situation, Li Weisi adjusted his breathing, and what he recalled in his mind was the shooting picture during training, and the whole shooting action immediately followed, just like during training. standard.
Li Weisi's shot was very fast, almost letting the ball leave his fingertips before Stockton arrived.
After a not-too-long wait, the basketball finally flew above the basket. At this time, the basketball with a strong backspin seemed to hear the call of the basket. It suddenly turned around and went down quickly, and got into the basket.
Seeing this goal, Richmond was even more excited than Li Weisi. He waved his right hand fiercely in the air a few times, and then shouted: "Back! Everything is back!"
