Chapter 792 A Kind of Strength

In the anxious competition, the two teams spent the entire first half, 63:51, the visiting team scored ahead, the home team scored behind, and the Warriors trailed by a full 12 points.

Looking at such a score, every Warriors fan at the scene felt that their eyes were stinging. It's really not good to play like this!
This year's Warriors are the strongest in recent years, even stronger than last year's lineup when they won the championship, but in this case, if they are sent home to fish by the Rockets, they will lose all face .

I thought that Nelson's substitution would have some effect, but in the end, he lost more than ten points at halftime. Obviously, this substitution did not have any effect.

Horry can indeed open up space for the Warriors on the offensive end, and his performance on the defensive end is not that bad, but on the whole, it has not produced a qualitative change for the team and has not achieved the results the fans hoped for. Therefore, regarding his replacement Rodman served as the starter, generally negative attitude.

Of course, it is not Horry who attracts the most firepower, but Li Weisi, who has always been mediocre. His performance in such an important game is completely unsatisfactory.

In this regard, Li Weisi has always been very peaceful. From the outside, there is no slight disturbance, but during the intermission, the teammates in the locker room can feel a fire burning in Li Weisi's body.

During the half-time break, Nelson did not change his tactics, but continued to use the tactics formulated before the game. It was not his top iron, but his belief in Li Weisi.

Soon, the second half officially began, and it was the Warriors who took the lead.

After receiving the pass, Li Weisi brought the ball to the frontcourt without haste. Looking around, the Rockets' defensive space was widened, and it seemed that the restricted area was very empty.

But Li Weisi knew that this was just an illusion. The seemingly empty inside line was actually full of murderous intent. Li Weisi believed that as long as he entered the inside line, he would be greeted by palms from all directions.

Without waiting for Li Weisi to observe for a while, Kenny Smith immediately posted it to prevent Li Weisi from shooting.

It's just that in the eyes of the fans at the scene, Smith is unreasonable, so be careful!West just passed the halfway line!
However, for Smith, beyond the center line is Li Weisi's offensive range, and he dare not relax in the slightest.

Li Weisi was not surprised. He had long been accustomed to such defense.

Therefore, he took advantage of Smith's excessive defense and successfully broke through Smith.

However, breaking through Smith is just the beginning. The Rockets' defensive strategy for him is to prevent shots and not to prevent bursts. Let him give up shots from the outside. train of thought.

In doing so, it can not only limit Li Weisi's shooting from the outside, but also allow him to increase his physical exertion after entering the inside, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone.

Of course, this kind of defense is not without flaws. For example, now, after Li Weisi made a successful breakthrough, he was near the free throw line and before the Rockets' other defenders arrived, he completed the first throw. The basketball went into the net and the point difference returned to within 10 points .

This defensive tactic is not good at this point. It requires strong execution and tacit understanding. Once there is a problem in any position, it is equivalent to sending Li Weisi to score.

Then it was the Rockets' turn to attack. The Rockets still used the method of first hitting the ball inside and then waiting for an opportunity to hit it. It was just this round that Olajuwon did split the ball, but Murray couldn't. Make a shot.

To be honest, it was all luck that the Rockets didn't make it this time, because Horry is not Rodman and doesn't have that good mobility. Ray is completely open.

Secondly, the rebound that came out was a long rebound, which made Olajuwon, who was about to grab the rebound, stuck for a long time in vain, and finally the rebound was picked up by Li Weisi.

It can be said that although Horry is indeed not as good as Rodman in these two aspects, he is lucky to be able to complete his own defensive task under such a near-miss situation.

Since the basketball fell into Li Weisi's hands, the Warriors' counterattack was stronger than usual. Because Rodman lacked the link to find Li Weisi, Li Weisi could move forward in one step.

Seeing the Warriors counterattack, the Rockets were also taken aback. Everyone quickly returned to defense, and Sa Yazi ran towards the second half, including Smith who was chasing Li Weisi.

Seeing that Smith was about to catch up with Li Weisi, Li Weisi directly chose a three-point shot. Although Li Weisi's chasing three-pointer has become a symbol of him, it is undeniable that whenever fans see Li Weisi's chasing three-pointer Time-sharing, the heart is still full of passion.

Li Weisi shot this ball so quickly and fiercely that everyone in the Rockets and even the Warriors teammates were completely unexpected, but the shot was accurate and he really scored.

Seeing the basketball fall headlong into the basket, all the passion in the arena was ignited immediately, but there was silence and silence on the court. The Warriors retreated silently, and the Rockets served the ball silently.

The Rockets' attack again was still blocked. This time it was Drexler who made a breakthrough. On the way, because he found that Horry wanted to rush over to help defend, he put the ball on the other side of his body, but this The choice was cut off by Li Weisi Gu at the right time, and the Rockets' offense returned without success again.

After the Warriors made a fast break, Li Weisi, after attracting the opponent's defensive focus, decisively distributed the ball to Mullin outside the weak side three-point line. Mullin did not disappoint Li Weisi. .

So far, less than 2 minutes into the second half, the Warriors have beaten the Rockets 8:0.

Seeing that the point difference was only 2 points, Tang Shuai of the Rockets was debating whether to call a timeout. After all, the Rockets' offense just now was fine from a tactical point of view. It was just a little bad luck.

However, before he finished struggling, the Rockets made another mistake.

This time, the Rockets were in the pick-and-roll. Drexler accidentally lost his footing during the pick-and-roll, and fell into Horry's arms. The referee directly called an offensive foul, and the Rockets returned without success again.

Although the Rockets failed to score again, fortunately, due to the dead ball, the Warriors were unable to counterattack, and the fast break could not be played.

However, this inexplicable mistake made the Rockets puzzled. Why did their luck suddenly become so bad in the second half?

In fact, not to mention the Rockets players, even the Warriors themselves are also wondering at this time, why are we suddenly close to tying the score when we obviously didn't do anything?
And Horry, who was scolded miserably in the first half, also became amiable in the eyes of the fans at this time. It can be seen that sometimes luck is also a kind of strength.
