Chapter 141 Taking Over the Game
Chapter 141 Taking Over the Game
Li Weisi's three-pointer was like a slap in the face, slapping Robertson's face hard, and the voice was so crisp.
And this also made Robertson annoyed, and in the next defense, he took more care of Li Weisi.
However, all this is in vain. The person who wants to snatch the ball controlled by Li Weisi one-on-one has not yet been born!
In addition, due to Mullin's absence, Nelson also changed his lineup accordingly.
Except for point guard Li Weisi, Hornacek is the shooting guard, Higgins is the small forward, and Smith and Malone are still the same power forward and center.
Both Hornacek and Higgins are players with strong offense and weak defense, and the reason why they are played is naturally to make up for the offensive firepower that Mullin cannot play.
As for defense, the Spurs don't have a particularly prominent offensive strength, and even Robertson, the core of the team, is not known for his offense!
Therefore, no matter how Robertson restricts Li Weisi, the Warriors' offense will not be affected, and even Li Weisi's offensive rhythm will not be affected much, and they can play as they want.
In the first quarter, the Warriors were 35:22, both inside and outside the line, and the Spurs couldn't prevent the Warriors' offense at all.
In the second quarter, Malone led the game as a substitute. Malone was still in the middle of no one in the Spurs. None of the Spurs' insiders could match Malone.
As a result, even the substitute stage was still overwhelmed by the Warriors.
Malone played for 4 minutes and then replaced Li Weisi, so another wave of offense against Xiao Gaochao. At halftime, the Warriors were 62:46, leading by 16 points.
Despite the disparity in strength, the Spurs did not give up. In the third quarter, the Spurs tried to launch a counterattack.
Dawkins, who came off the bench, performed well in this game, much better than the starter John Moore, so at the beginning of the third quarter, Spurs coach Bob Weiss let Dawkins play instead of Moore.
Dawkins was also strong, receiving Robertson's pass and making consecutive hits. Even if Li Weisi's defense was sealed to his fingertips, he still couldn't guard Dawkins.
It seems that Dawkins still held his breath and wanted to prove himself in front of Li Weisi.
However, the gap in strength cannot be made up by mental attributes. Although the Spurs' offense is good, the point difference has not decreased, because the Warriors' offense is also powerful.
Whether it's Ma Long on the inside, Li Weisi on the outside, or even Hornacek, the Spurs have no good solution.
So, at the end of the third quarter, the Warriors had led by as much as 98 points at 74:24, and the Spurs were helpless.
In the end, in the fourth quarter, the Spurs gave up chasing points, never sent a starter, and announced their surrender.
As Price finally dribbled the ball and ran out the rest of the time, this dull game finally came to an end. The Warriors finally defeated the Spurs at the bottom of the Western Conference 115:98, contributing to the Spurs' No. [-] pick. strength.
At the same time, it also made Li Weisi's comeback debut a perfect ending. In this campaign, Li Weisi played 30 minutes and scored 32 points and 12 assists. Malone played 35 minutes and scored 30 points and 14 rebounds. In addition, 4 Warriors scored in double figures. The rhythm of the Warriors.
In front of the Warriors, the Spurs are full of temperament, and their road to reconstruction has a long way to go.
The game with the Spurs is over, and the Warriors will fly to Seattle that night to challenge the Seattle SuperSonics away.
The last time the two teams met, the Warriors narrowly won by 4 points at home. In this game, the Warriors played equally hard.
The Sonics have also joined the NBA family for 20 years. During the period, they also won the first championship in team history in the 78-79 season.
Since entering the 80s, the Sonics have had ups and downs, and their results have been jumping repeatedly on the threshold of the playoffs.
Finally, last season, the team missed the playoffs again, and management decided it was time for a change.
So, they first waved goodbye to the meritorious coach Lenny Wilkens, and then sent the team's meritorious player Sikoma to the Bucks, officially preparing to enter the reconstruction.
However, what the management didn't expect was that Dale Ellis, who was signed this season, broke out inexplicably, averaging 25 points and 5.5 rebounds per game. You must know that in the Mavericks last season, Ellis averaged only 7.1 points per game. 2.3 rebounds.
It made the Supersonics management very confused. How could they become so violent after signing a random player?Could it be that Ellis also practiced hard in the summer?
In short, due to the sudden outbreak of Ellis and the steady performance of the team's previous main players Tom Chambers and Xavier McDaniel, for a while, the Sonics had three players averaging 23 points per game.
So it's on display, the Sonics can actually enter the playoffs again, although not the winning team, but the playoffs team is still stable.
In this way, the game between the Sonics with good offensive firepower and the Warriors was like a spark hitting the earth, and it was another fierce scoring battle.
The two sides have been in a mutual explosion mode since the first quarter. Neither side can defend the other, and the hit rate is scary.
At the end of the first quarter, the score between the two sides was 28:34, and the Warriors trailed by 6 points.
But at the beginning of the second quarter, during the title stage, Malone led the bench to play a wave of 10:0, overtaking the score.
Afterwards, the two sides fell into a tug-of-war mode again, and it was very lively.
At this time, as the number one star of the Sonics, Tom Chambers stepped forward. This white power forward nicknamed "Tommy Gun" has no worse physical fitness than blacks. Reach beyond the three-point line.
In the second quarter, he made consecutive kills on the offensive end, so that with more than 5 minutes left in the second quarter, Smith had committed 3 fouls.
As a result, Nelson had to replace Smith with Rodman, but the immature Rodman still couldn't defend Chambers, causing Chambers to get whatever he wanted on the offensive end, making the Warriors' point chasing plan a bubble.
At halftime, the Warriors were still 59 points behind at 64:5.
After the intermission, the third quarter began. Malone finally showed his demeanor as a three-time MVP winner. He scored 15 points and 10 rebounds in a single quarter, successfully allowing the Warriors to complete the overtake in the third quarter.
At the end of the third quarter, the Warriors have entered the fourth quarter with a two-point advantage at 92:90.
Entering the fourth quarter, the scores of the two sides rose alternately, and no one could separate the other.
It lasted until the last 3 minutes from the end of the game. Li Weisi, who had been performing quite well, bared his fangs and began to take over the game.
First, he stopped the game with two three-pointers, then came back from the timeout and made a successful steal, and made a fast break, resulting in two plus one.
By the time the last minute entered, the Warriors had established a lead of more than 1 points. In just 10 minutes, Li Weisi extinguished the hope of the SuperSonics victory.
In the end, the game ended, and the Warriors retreated in Seattle 121:112.
In this game, a total of 11 players from the two teams scored in double figures, dedicating a wonderful offensive battle for the fans.
After the end of this game, the Warriors finally got a 3-day rest. In the next game, they will go to Philadelphia for the much-anticipated Christmas battle.
