Soul of the Golden State

Chapter 83 One Attack, One Defense

"Oh, my God!" When the referee's whistle sounded, Nelson was so angry that his brain hurt, and he couldn't help covering his head with his hands.

I repeatedly told Rodman to control fouls. Who would have thought that this guy would lose one as soon as he came on the court. You must know that Rodman had already committed 2 fouls in the first half.

Rodman was also very angry when he saw Bird's expression of slapping, but at this time Malone patted Rodman's butt, then pressed his head and whispered in his ear: "Calm down, forget about it." Have you heard what I told you? As long as you are on the court, you must not let yourself be swayed by your emotions!"

Malone's words made Rodman calm down quickly. He nodded vigorously, and then took a deep breath to expel the previous discomfort from his body.

As for the discharge channel?I'm afraid no one except Rodman knows.

With Bird making two free throws, the score came to 88:94. The Celtics overtook by 6 points. Less than one session.

When it was the Warriors' turn to attack, Price dribbled the ball steadily across half court and into Mullin's hands.

Although Price has a good ball-handling ability and a good passing awareness, he still hasn't fully adapted to the NBA after playing for almost a month. The reason lies in his physique.

No matter how standard his technical moves are, once he is on the court, his technical moves will be deformed in the confrontation. This is why he was very good in college, but he has only averaged 4.6 points and 2.3 assists per game. The reason.

However, fortunately, Price is quickly adapting to the NBA, and occasionally even hits one or two good shots. Both the coaching staff and teammates believe that he has the strength to play in the NBA.

After Mullin holds the ball, he puts the ball on the left side of his body, and Bird on the opposite side will also move a small step to Mullin's left side at this time. There is no way, who made Mullin a left-hander.

Although Mullin does not have the title of "God's Left Hand" at this time, his shooting has also shown up at this time, but it is far from enough to shoot with one hand.

After Nelson came to the Warriors, he quickly discovered Mullin's overall view and prediction, so he made him the team's No. 2 ball-handling point.

Bird's defense on the left caused Mullin to break through and only go to the right in the middle. Once Mullin takes two steps, it will inevitably cause a heavy defense in the middle. If he is not careful, he will fall into the encirclement.

But Mullin had no choice. It was a very unwise choice to directly choose to shoot under Bird's defense at this time.

Bird can be said to be the most comprehensive small forward in the league today. Some people may have the impression that he is not good at defense, but that is also compared with his offense.

In fact, Bird has been selected to the second team of the All-Defensive Team three times. What is this concept?You must know that Sean Battier has only won 3 best second defenses.

Of course, Bird's defense is not without weaknesses. His height and slow speed make him unable to keep up with the speed-type small forwards. Unfortunately, Mullin is not a speed-type small forward.

In the end, Mullin chose to break to the right, because this was the only option Bird gave him.

Sure enough, when he just took two steps, Angie at the top of the arc took two steps inward and began to pinch Mullin.

Therefore, Mullin immediately took advantage of his height and passed the ball back to Price from above Angie's head.

Did not enter!

At this time, a group of people turned their backs on their backs in the penalty area. Several muscular men huddled together to grab a favorable position. At this time, Malone used his buttocks and thighs to firmly block Parish behind him, but McHale's long arms Blocked in front of him, it turned out that Rodman had been squeezed behind by McHale.

Seeing this situation, Ma Long is not afraid at all, isn't it just one grabbing two?Have you experienced this scene less?
Just like that, the three jumped at the same time, and in the confusion, McHale touched the basketball before Malone.

Just touching does not mean controlling it. Before it could fall, Ma Long's hand also touched the basketball, so he flicked it, and the basketball fell out of McHale's hand again and flew into the sky.

After landing, the three of them jumped again at the same time, but this time another figure flew faster than the three of them, and that was Rodman who was pushed aside by McHale before.

Leaping high, Rodman stretched out his arms from behind McHale, and firmly held the basketball in the air into his arms.

"Mine!" Rodman landed in an extremely exaggerated posture, and at the same time shouted loudly, as if at this moment he was the most beautiful cub in the audience.

In fact, Rodman's rebound was really beautiful, and the speed, height, and prediction were all in place. It can be seen that Rodman has indeed worked hard in this regard.

Unfortunately, he did not get the cheers he wanted, because this is the home court of the Celtics.

After receiving the offensive rebound, Rodman unexpectedly did not hand the ball to Mullin, who was close at hand, but to Price, who was unattended at the top of the arc.

So after catching the ball, Price made no adjustments and immediately shot again.

When an arrow shoots down the wild goose, thousands of people will watch!This time, Plath finally hit the damn three-pointer, and the point difference was narrowed to 3 points again.

When it was the Celtics' turn to attack, Angie directly chose to hoist the ball inside and handed it to McHale.

No way, it was Rodman who was defending McHale at this time. The difference in height and arm span between the two was so big that if McHale straightened his arms and raised the ball, Rodman would not be able to reach the ball without jumping. .

McHale who got the ball did not pay attention to Rodman, but when he tried to push back, he found that his back was not moving at all, which surprised McHale. He did not expect this to look not strong enough. He is a rookie, but his strength is so strong.

However, McHale is not a person who wins by strength. He used his footsteps to completely sway Rodman's defense twice.

But when he was about to stand up and shoot, Malone's defense was in place instantly, and Malone, who jumped high, completely blocked McHale's shooting route.

As a last resort, McHale, who was already in the air, could only give up shooting and pass the ball to Parish who was unmarked under the basket.

After receiving the ball, Parish immediately jumped high, intending to dunk.

But at this moment, a palm suddenly appeared above his head, firmly holding the basketball.

The owner of this palm is Rodman. When he was shaken away, he immediately came to defend after seeing McHale pass the ball to Parish.

The ultra-fast mobility and bullet speed allowed him to really catch up. In this way, Rodman pressed Parish to the floor even when he dribbled the ball. This time the referee did something personal and did not call Rodman a foul. , a good risk.

Of course, the price is the uniform boos in the arena.

However, as the instigator, Rodman seemed to hear the praise, and he loved the voice from the bottom of his heart.
