Soul of the Golden State

Chapter 336
"Hold on, Derek, suppress the rhythm for me, don't let them lead you to play!" The head coach McLeod stood in front of the players and told them patiently.

This season is the first year that McLeod took over the Mavericks. Last season, the Mavericks achieved the third record in the West, but were eliminated by the Rockets in the first round. This really dissatisfied the Mavericks management.

Such a result naturally has someone to blame, so the head coach Dick Motta dismissed get out of get out of get out of get out of get out of get out of class, just as McLeod was also dismissed from the Suns, so the Mavericks signed McLeod.

As the coach with the most wins in the history of the Suns, no one can shake his position in the history of the Suns even after another 30 years.

However, the famous coach who coached the Suns for 14 seasons could not escape the fate of getting out of class in the end.

However, the head coach still has two brushes. Facing the more competitive Western Conference this season, he still led the team to successfully break through the first round of the playoffs.

Faced with Li Weisi's sudden rhythm, McLeod quickly realized the danger, but Li Weisi's movements were too fast. He just hesitated a little, and the score was pulled away instantly.

The scoring explosiveness of the Warriors is really terrifying.

The game restarted, McLeod's timeout still played a role, Derek Harper took the initiative to slow down the rhythm, and fought with the Warriors, finally did not let the Warriors set off another counterattack.

However, playing positional warfare is not conducive to chasing points. At this time, they are already behind by as much as 10 points. If they want to chase points, it is really difficult to rely on such a little bit of grinding.

However, fortunately, after the rhythm dropped, the Mavericks quickly found their own offensive rhythm, and their offensive efficiency improved, which also prevented the Warriors from widening the point difference.

At the end of the third quarter, the score was 85:94, and the Warriors led by 9 points.

Li Weisi played the entire third quarter as usual, so in the first half of the fourth quarter, he would basically rest for 5 to 6 minutes. Taking advantage of this opportunity, the Mavericks quickly launched a counterattack.

This wave of counterattacks, the Mavericks came quickly, was initiated by Roy Tapley and Rod Higgins.

Since being traded to the Mavericks, Higgins has played a lot more than he did in the Warriors, both in terms of playing time and shots.

Therefore, although the efficiency has declined, the data has ushered in a new career high.

In this game, he faced Schramf and asked for anything. He had scored 11 points at this time. Compared with him, Schramff was set off by him, which was really embarrassing. He was facing Frank's face, "Papa "The fight.

This time, he broke through Schramf's defense with the ball again, and then made an emergency stop and made a mid-range hit. The ball was scored, and the Mavericks chased the score to only 1 point.

At this time, the main players of the Warriors did not want to rest anymore. Nelson called a timeout, and then replaced all the starters, starting the final decisive battle ahead of schedule.

When Li Weisi returned to the field, the effect was obvious immediately. He has played for 10 minutes tonight, and his physical strength is still abundant at this time.

After all, the Mavericks are not a defensive team, and he did not take the initiative to attack in the first three quarters, so his physical reserves are still sufficient.

After halftime, Li Weisi handed the ball to Mullin, and he prepared to run without the ball.

However, Mullin, who received the ball, took a tentative step and deceived the defender Aguirre away.

Like this kind of one-step defense, when making a tentative step, you must do it at the same time as the moment you catch the ball. Once you stop after catching the ball and then make a tentative step, it will be difficult to mobilize the defender.

At this time, Mullin did a good job at this point, and Aguirre was really tricked away from the focus of defense.

Not only that, because Mullin is left-handed, so after he made a tentative step to the right, he immediately broke through to the left. At this time, it is very difficult for Aguirre to keep up with Mullin's footsteps.

In this regard, Aguirre also reacted very quickly. He did not choose to rush forward, but took two steps back diagonally, blocking the direction of Mullin's attack.

But in the next second, Mullin's move surprised Aguirre. He saw Mullin put the ball in the middle while he was on his upper leg, and immediately took a step back. Basket, make a quick move.

My three-point sword, the flames of hell!
After scoring the goal, Mu Lin pointed to Li Weisi and patted his chest. The meaning couldn't be more obvious.

Seeing Mu Lin score a goal with his own actions, Li Weisi also laughed, not caring at all that his teammates learned his tricks.

At the same time, he also looked to the sidelines, gave Frank a look, and told him: Look, my teammates are no worse than Pippen!

Mullin's step-back three-pointer opened the score to 4 points again, which is a relatively safe point difference. The Mavericks need at least two rounds to catch up or overtake the score.

However, at this time, the Mavericks' offense has been completely driven. Harper passed the pick-and-roll and distributed the ball to Perkins in the middle. Perkins made a long two-pointer and narrowed the point difference to 2 points again.

Tonight, Perkins' performance was not good. Rodman's defense was only 30% of his shots, and his rebounds were only half of Rodman's. This goal finally made him out Bad breath.

But then, Perkins was on the defensive, and when he got stuck with Rodman, he pushed Rodman's back with his hand. Unexpectedly, this guy stretched his head over, and as a result, Perkins' arm directly hit him. On Rodman's head.

And Rodman fell directly to the ground. Seeing this scene, the referee quickly called Perkins a foul.

Hearing the referee's whistle, Rodman sat up from the ground, and without standing up, he clapped vigorously with his hands. That triumphant smile made Perkins itch his teeth in anger!
This is already his fifth foul. Tonight, due to Rodman's harassment and Malone's activity, his fouls accumulated quickly.

Rodman, who was pulled up by Malone, excitedly said to Perkins: "Hey, brother, you made five mistakes? You shouldn't dare to move next, right? Look at the next ball, I'm going to hit you Dunk on!"

Hearing Rodman's words, Perkins was furious. You, who scored 2 points in one game, actually wanted to dunk on my head?I don't want to lose face?

However, Rodman did what he said. When serving the sideline ball, Rodman put his back against Perkins and yelled at Mullin: "Give me the ball, the guy behind me has made five fouls and dare not move." , is a wooden man!"

Unexpectedly, after hearing this, Mullin really threw the ball to Rodman. How could Rodman attack independently?

He imitated Malone and used crappy post-back singles to beat Perkins. However, Perkins dared not reach out easily when defending because of five fouls on his back. Rodman really grabbed the position of the basket. .

Seeing that it was his own offensive area, Rodman immediately chose to turn around and lay up. At the same time, Perkins also jumped up quickly, trying to block Rodman.

However, Rodman did not have that strength after all. After being interfered by Perkins, the basketball did not make it, but Rodman would grab offensive rebounds!

He took off quickly, grabbed the rebound and shot again, but missed!Grab again!Vote again!Not yet!grab again...

Looking at Rodman who kept brushing the board in front of him, Perkins was so angry, are you finished?

Subconsciously, he jumped up and blocked Rodman at the same time. After the two collided in the air, Rodman flew out because of his light weight.

The referee's whistle sounded again.

At the same time, Perkins, who finally won the basketball, immediately became very ugly when he heard the referee's whistle, thinking: This is broken!
