Soul of the Golden State

Chapter 741
On August 8, the Dream Team faced Puerto Rico.

For this game, no one paid much attention to it. The dream team, which won all five games in the group stage and ranked first in the group, would not pay attention to the opponent at all.

And the highlight of this game has never been the win or loss of the game, but who will stand out in the dream team today?
From the very first match, it can be seen that almost every game of the Dream Team has at least one player stand up and show excellent form.

Naturally, this traditional art will not be lost in this game, but what the fans did not expect is that the person who will stand up tonight will be Mullin.

As Nelson's beloved apprentice and Li Weisi's right-hand man, Mullin is definitely qualified to join the Dream Team, but his role in the Dream Team is not obvious. On the contrary, he is too low-key in the Dream Team.

Even sometimes, Pippen plays a greater role than him, because Pippen is obviously better than Mullin in terms of defense.

But Mullin has always maintained aloofness in this regard, and has not conflicted with anyone because of competition for playing time.

Of course, as a star who has been famous for a long time, this does not mean that he has lost his competitive spirit. On the contrary, in the team, facing a group of the best stars in the world, how could he not inspire his inner fighting spirit?
And besides in training, what is better than showing yourself on the field?
In addition, in this game, Nelson changed his lineup again, and the four major stars all played as substitutes, putting up a lineup of Drexler, Mullin, Pippen, Malone, and O'Neal.

I have to say that Nelson really knows how to play. It's already reached the knockout round, and he is still changing lineups. He is not afraid of capsized in the gutter.

Of course, Nelson was able to deploy this lineup because he was confident.

Although there is no point guard in this lineup, in fact, Pippen is the real organizer in this lineup. In Nelson's view, Pippen is simply the most suitable candidate for the point forward position he invented.

Tall and long arms, excellent running and jumping, both static and dynamic talents are top-notch, and the most commendable thing is that he is also a player who plays with his brain.

Therefore, when Nelson came to the Dream Team to coach Pippen, the true nature of the "scumbag" was fully revealed, and the characteristics of liking the new and disliking the old were fully revealed.

And Pippen did not live up to Nelson's expectations tonight. After the opening, he first assisted Malone to hit a mid-range jumper, and then he successfully stole the ball in the defense. In the fast break, he gave the ball to Mullin at 45 degrees. The latter received the ball Three-point hit.

It can be said that the adjustment of the Dream Team's lineup tonight does not seem to have affected their strength at all, at least, from a sensory point of view, this is the case.

In this game, several big stars were sitting on the sidelines, watching their teammates play. Because they played too late last night, even though they were sitting on the sidelines today, they kept yawning before the game.

However, shortly after the start of the game, after watching the dream team's continuous attack like waves, the stars waved towels to celebrate their teammates. This scene seemed to be a unique and famous scene. , Li Weisi, the magician and Bird cheered and waved a towel for him together?
Although the star-studded cheerleaders off the court attract the attention of fans, the game on the court is equally exciting.

After Pippen got off to a good start for the Dream Team, it was time for Mullin's show.

Tonight, Mullin's hand feels so hot that it explodes. No matter how the Puerto Rican players defend Mullin, he can accurately send the ball to the basket.

In this way, the teammates of the dream team also found that Mullin feels good tonight, so everyone played the ball one after another. Even when O'Neal had a chance at the basket, he didn't dunk, but passed it to Mullin to continue shooting. three points.

In this way, Mullin made 5 of 4 three-pointers in a single quarter and scored 18 points, staged a rain of three-pointers, and let audiences all over the world know what is called "God's left hand".

However, after all, the Dream Team has many stars. You can let someone play for a certain period of time, but you will not be allowed to play all the time. After all, other people also have to show their faces.

Therefore, after more than 8 minutes in the first quarter, Mullin was replaced, and he was also the last of the five starters of the Dream Team to be replaced.

Several big shots have been replaced one after another, which is desperate for Puerto Rico, after all, this is the biggest substitute lineup in history.

So only at the end of the first quarter, the Dream Team led Puerto Rico by as many as 33 points 11:22, which could almost declare the end of the game early.

In the following games, it was also reduced to the performance time of other players of the Dream Team, such as Drexler, Malone, Ewing, etc., but the most eye-catching one had to be O'Neal.

As everyone in the dream team spent more time living and training together, after getting to know each other well, everyone recognized O'Neill and this little brother.

And what everyone talks about the most is not his strength, but his cunning character.

No, it was the dream team's turn to attack this time, and O'Neal could dunk the ball when he got the ball and rushed in. Puerto Rico's two insiders, together, couldn't stop O'Neal's impact.

But O'Neill didn't agree. He waved to his teammates actively, saying that he would let the teammates pull away and he wanted to play singles.

And this action directly made Jordan and Barkley laugh off the court, because the action he used was clearly imitating Li Weisi.

Not only that, when the teammates pulled away, a 216cm big man didn't go hard to dig inside, but lowered his center of gravity and started dribbling, intending to break through the opponent.

This is not only the teammates of the dream team, but also the opponents. Looking at their eyes as if they are mentally retarded, you can tell how complicated their hearts are at this time.

However, O'Neill didn't joke with them. I saw that this big man who only weighed more than 200 kilograms at this time and had a well-proportioned body, actually looked good with a crossover.

After changing direction continuously, he broke through suddenly, and while he was on the move, he suddenly turned around to collect the ball, and then completed a layup. The whole action stunned the audience. This fat man is so flexible!

After scoring the goal, O'Neill patted his chest, pointed to the sky with one hand, and performed Li Weisi's celebration, reaping another wave of laughter from the bench.

Especially Jordan, he couldn't breathe from laughing with Li Weisi in his arms.

On the contrary, Li Weisi, as the rightful owner, watched O'Neill imitate his actions, and was a little bit dumbfounded. He didn't know what expression he should use to face O'Neill.

In the end, the Dream Team defeated Puerto Rico 115:77. Although Mullin scored a game-high 24 points, O'Neal was the most impressive in the whole game!
This guy is too good at stealing the show!
