Soul of the Golden State

Chapter 545
Facts have proved that it is very difficult to find obvious loopholes in the opponent's defensive tactics, especially for a strong team like the Trail Blazers, having no shortcomings is a very important feature.

Now that the warrior can find one, it is already the luck he has accumulated all his life helping the old lady cross the road.

Want to find another loophole in such a Blazers defense, do you really think the Blazers are as weak as the Nets?

Therefore, although Li Weisi hit the ball, the main goal was not achieved. It was actually of little help to the Warriors who wanted to play a wave of offense to catch up with the score.

Soon after halftime, the Blazers beat the Warriors by 6 points in a single quarter, leading 61:55.

"Hahaha, what's the matter, my Blazers aren't that weak, are they?" Allen looked a little happy when he saw the halftime score, and couldn't help showing off to Frank.

"Yes, it's not weak, but don't forget, the Warriors led 2:0 in the entire series!" Frank obviously didn't like to see Allen showing off, so he couldn't help but strike.

"So what, our bet is only for this game!" Allen is also considered a senior fan. He knows that the Trail Blazers are not as strong as the Warriors, so he didn't have much hope for defeating the Warriors in the series.

However, this does not mean that he can sit back and watch the Warriors sweep the Blazers, that would be too embarrassing, and he has to win a game anyway, right?
And tonight's game will be the Blazers' best chance to win!

After a short intermission, the game soon entered a more intense second half.

If the main theme of the first half was offense, then the main theme of the third quarter was defense.

In this section of the game, the shooting percentages of both teams declined. For the Blazers, Porter, Drexler and Kersey, who had high shooting percentages in the first half, all declined to varying degrees.

The Warriors are not much better. Except for Li Weisi and Duckworth, everyone else is basically in a state of misfire.

As a result, the fans who had adapted to the "swish" goal in the first half, saw the game in the second half, but it became "Duang! Duang! Duang!"

However, although the hit rate has become worse, the game scene is still quite fierce, especially the inside line, which is caught in hand-to-hand combat, which is almost bloody.

In this way, after fighting in the third quarter, the Blazers still entered the fourth quarter with an 8-point lead.

In the first half of the fourth quarter, the point difference between the two teams fluctuated around 10 points, but when entering the second half, the Warriors suddenly began to show their strength.

After receiving Li Weisi's breakthrough, Duckworth scored the ball. Instead of dunking directly, he turned around and hooked, avoiding Robinson's block and hitting it.

I have to say that Duckworth, who used to be a rough guy, now knows more and more, such a genius is amazing.

With this goal, the Warriors narrowed the point difference to only 3 points.

Originally in the second quarter, the Warriors' offensive focus returned to Li Weisi, but in the middle of the fourth quarter, the Warriors suddenly made Duckworth the main attack point again, which was really beyond the Blazers' expectations.

The Blazers continued the previous successful defensive strategy, but found that the effect was not good.

The reason for this is actually very simple. Originally, this defensive tactic was to allow Duckworth to decide the outcome of the game. Although Duckworth could not maintain a high level throughout the game, in a certain period of time, In some rounds, Duckworth can still guarantee offensive efficiency.

And Li Weisi seized this opportunity and caught up with the point difference in one fell swoop.

Facing the constantly eroding point difference, the Blazers obviously panicked. Seeing this situation, Li Weisi naturally would not be soft.

In the defensive round, Li Weisi suddenly let go of Porter, who was very accurate tonight, ran to the strong side at 45 degrees, and cut off the ball in Kersi's hand with one hand.

After successfully stealing the ball, Li Weisi quickly counterattacked after controlling the ball. At this time, everyone ran to the Blazers' half court desperately.

Li Weisi was naturally in the first echelon, and Potter was the only one in front of them.

Porter was terrified at this time, because he didn't know how Li Weisi would handle the ball at this time, a layup?Or shoot?
While Li Weisi took advantage of Porter's hesitation, he directly chose to shoot from outside the three-point line. The basketball jumped over Porter's fingertips and fell into the basket.

With 1 minute and 56 seconds left before the end of the game, Li Weisi scored a three-pointer to tie the score.

The 10-point difference was smoothed out by one trick, which really discouraged the Blazers players. Fortunately, Adelman called a timeout in time. In addition, the Blazers players were mostly experienced players who were in their prime. Therefore, I quickly adjusted my mentality back.

So the two teams played the most suffocating game in less than 2 minutes at the end of the game.

The two sides tied from 104 to 112. At this time, the end of the game, with 3.7 seconds left, the Blazers held the final possession of the ball.

Back from the timeout, the atmosphere at the scene was so tense that it was about to freeze, and the home fans were praying for the Blazers, hoping that the Blazers would be able to win the game, not to go into overtime, let alone lose.

With this victory, the Blazers still have a chance in the series, but if they lose, they really have no chance at all.

As for overtime, at the last moment of the game, the morale star of the Warriors players is even better. Once it enters overtime, the Blazers are likely to be defeated.

Therefore, the best outcome is to hit this shot.

However, the sideline serve has always been a problem that plagued the world, and neither Drexler nor Porter ran out of the opportunity to catch the ball.

At this critical moment, Robinson, who was young and courageous, suddenly ran to the three-point line to catch the ball. This move was indeed beyond Duckworth's expectations.

In the end, Williams passed the ball to Robinson, but Robinson didn't shoot, but Porter, who came out of the corner, received the hand-off pass.

As for Li Weisi, who was defending him, he was stopped by Robinson's pick-and-roll. By the time he bypassed Robinson, Porter had already shot.

Shortly after Porter made the shot, the time reset to zero, and after the basketball was in the air for a while, the cricket shot into the basket.

"Yeah!!!!" Seeing the goal, Allen in the box jumped up excitedly, raising his hands and cheering.

At this time, all the home audience on the scene were in sync with Allen's movements.

All the Blazers players were also very excited, and Robinson hugged Porter, who had hit the lore, and circled around. Soon, the two were overwhelmed by other Blazers players who rushed over.

Looking at the opponent who celebrated unscrupulously, Li Weisi didn't know whether to cry or laugh. He didn't expect to work hard all night, but finally ended up being used as a background board. Such a result is really unacceptable.
