Soul of the Golden State

Chapter 590 It's Impossible
In the opening 10:4, the Warriors except for Li Weisi, the other four players all scored. It can be seen how impartial and upright Li Weisi is in his heart, and he treats his teammates evenly.

However, what he didn't expect was that Rodman would be such a stickler.

After hitting a three-pointer, Rodman faced the deafening cheers like thunder on the scene, and excitedly raised his right hand, just like Li Weisi, put it to his ear and listened to the cheers of the audience.

In fact, he had long wanted to do this.

Rodman was very excited when he saw Li Weisi posing in such a pose after hitting a three-pointer. Today, he finally tasted it. This taste is really wonderful!

It's a pity that Li Weisi is facing the away fans, but he is the home fans. Sure enough, the away game is more exciting!
The fans also cooperated with Rodman very much, and even more enthusiastic cheers broke out.

At this time, Duckworth ran over and patted Rodman's buttocks and said, "Don't be smug, hurry back to defense!"

Rodman, whose enjoyment was interrupted, curled his lips, followed Duckworth's footsteps, and said, "It seems that I also have the potential to become a three-point shooter!"

Duckworth, who was returning to defense, glanced at Duckworth from the corner of his eye, and said firmly: "You just give up on it! There is absolutely no such possibility!"

Although I have to admit that Rodman's three-pointer was beyond everyone's expectations, the Bulls did not take it seriously. Rodman occasionally scored a three-pointer. There is nothing to be shocked about. It is better to pay attention Concentrate on the game!

What did you say?Not fooled?Then give me a three-pointer and try!
Soon, Pippen made another mid-range hit for the Bulls, adding two more points for the Bulls.

Although the Warriors played very well at the beginning, the Bulls were not bad either. Although the Warriors had an advantage when they came up, the Bulls always kept the point difference within a catchable range, from the starter to the substitute.

In the first quarter, Li Weisi didn’t attack much and only scored 2 points, but he sent out an astonishing 7 assists. Don’t underestimate this statistic. Although there are several people who can send so many assists in a single quarter in later generations, until 30 years later, The single-game assist record in the NBA Finals is still Magic Johnson's 1984 in 21.

It seems that Li Weisi didn't break the scoring record, but changed it to want to break the assist record?

In addition, unlike the Warriors' step-by-step rotation lineup, the Bulls' rotation lineup was adjusted again tonight. Jordan and Pippen actually played the entire quarter in the first quarter.

Not only that, but in the second quarter, the two were still on the court after the opening. This situation can only show one point, that is, the Bulls intend to let these two play the entire game.

I have to say that this is indeed a risky move, although the effect is obvious. At the end of the first quarter, the point difference was once narrowed to only two points, until 0.6 seconds before the end of the time, Petrovic hit a hit The distance allowed the Warriors to end the first quarter with a 31:27 lead by four points.

After the start of the second quarter, it was because of the two of them that they quickly completed the overtake.

But the shortcomings are also obvious, that is, with such a strong game rhythm, can the two really survive to the end?

In any case, it was clear that in this most critical game, the Bulls decided to go all out.

In this regard, Nelson was unmoved. Even if the score was tied, he still had no plans to replace the Warriors in the starting lineup in advance.

Of course, this is not because of Nelson's big heart, but the performance of the Warriors' substitute tonight, which is also not bad!

Don’t look at the Warriors’ point difference being eroded by the Bulls during the bench stage, but it was only tied under the crazy offense of the Bulls’ core such as Jordan and Pippen. It can be said that they can last for such a long time is far beyond Nelson’s imagination .

For this reason, Nelson is naturally willing to continue to give the substitutes playing time and let the starters have more rest time.

In this way, it was not until more than 4 minutes into the second quarter that Nelson replaced all the substitutes and started the game. At this time, the Bulls were only 2 points ahead of the Warriors.

During this period, Petrovic was the best performer on the bench, and even in the second quarter, he and Jordan were fighting each other, which was secretly surprising.

The Warriors, who returned to the field, were still a little uncomfortable at first. There was no way to rest for too long. Just for the game time, they rested for nearly 8 minutes, not counting the time for rest, timeouts and foul free throws. , Add up to ten minutes.

However, the Warriors starters soon recovered, and when the Bulls led by 7 points, they finally started chasing points belatedly.

First, Li Weisi made a step-back three-pointer and the team opened the prelude to chasing points. Then Mullin, Richmond and others used their respective methods to score consecutively. Soon, the 7-point difference was wiped out. flat.

During this period, the Bulls' offense also had problems. The shooting percentages of Jordan and Pippen both declined, which accelerated the momentum of the Warriors chasing points.

There was no way, although the cumulative playing time of the two of them was only more than 20 minutes at this time, which seemed to be far from the previous audience, but they didn't rest for a minute, and their physical fatigue increased exponentially.

In addition, because the Warriors took turns defending the two and the constant consumption in the offense, the fatigue of the two was exacerbated. Therefore, by the end of the second quarter, the body's reaction had already been reflected in the shooting percentage.

Even if the bodies of the two are made of iron, they can't hold up to multiple people and multiple postures to serve them in turn!

Except for the two of them, the playing time of the Bulls starters was not much better. Except for Cartwright who played 16 minutes by the end of the second quarter because of his aging body, the other two, Grant 20 minutes, Price also reached a very difficult point in 18 minutes.

In this way, by the end of the second quarter, the Warriors had regained the lead and led the Bulls by 55 points at 48:7.

It can be said that after going around in circles in the second quarter, the point difference widened further.

Faced with Jackson's rotation strategy, I can't say it is good or bad. I can only say that when the strength gap between the two teams is large, the weak team must adopt some desperate or gambling methods to play the game. Otherwise, it will only gradually die if it plays step by step.

This is the situation the Bulls are facing at this time.

After the first few games of this round of the series, it is obvious that even if the Warriors lack Moses Malone, their team's depth and other aspects are still better than the Bulls.

Therefore, the Bulls are taking risks and gambling at this time. Although the chances of winning are not great at present, since they have chosen this path, they have no regrets at all. , What is waiting for them is victory or failure?
