Chapter 375 You Killed Me
Chapter 375 You Killed Me
On November 11, after three days of rest, the Warriors finally ushered in their next game.
After a lapse of 11 days, the Warriors returned to the home court again, and the scene burst into warm cheers to welcome the return of their heroes.
Before the Warriors went to the East, they never thought that the Warriors could win all four games, let alone win so easily.
This brought back their enthusiasm that was interrupted last season, and it also made fans fantasize about the future again.
The Warriors' opponent at home tonight is the Warriors' old enemy, the Sonics.
As Chambers went to Phoenix during the offseason, the Sonics urgently needed a power forward to make up for the vacancy caused by Chambers' departure, so the Sonics set their sights on Otis Thorpe of the Kings.
However, Thorpe didn't like the Supersonics. He chose his good friend in the same class as him, Olajuwon, and wanted to play brother basketball with Olajuwon.
It turned out that after the Rockets went through the playoffs last season, they felt that Olajuwon and Michael Cage did not match, and Cage could not effectively open up the space he needed for Olajuwon.
So under the lure of Olajuwon, Thorpe soon flirted with the Rockets, and Cage was vacated at this time.
Seeing this situation, the Sonics immediately changed their thinking and changed their target to Cage, and soon signed a contract with the Sonics for $265 million for three years.
And Thorpe finally joined the Rockets. Both sides got what they needed. The only one who suffered heavy losses was the Kings. But Thorpe had already had enough of the king, and he didn't believe what the king said at all.
In fact, the king's reputation in this era is really not very good!
Not to mention Thorpe, but Richmond from the original time and space, what a wonderful person!After being traded to the Kings, after experiencing a fiasco of 62 points (yes, he surpassed 58!), he cried and said to his agent: "Can I retire first and then come back to another team?"
To push Candid Richmond to such an extent, one can imagine how bad this team is!
In short, with the arrival of Cage, it filled the vacancy left by Chambers. Although Cage and Chambers have different styles of play and there is a gap in strength, the strength of the Supersonics has not declined much.
Even with the growth of the team's second-year rookie Derek McKay, he actually squeezed the team's second-in-chief McDaniel to the bench, which undoubtedly greatly increased the strength of the Sonics' bench.
After the game started, the two sides actually played back and forth, especially the team boss Ellis, who was particularly active.
Due to the departure of Chambers and the retreat of McDaniel, Ellis has undoubtedly become the head of the team. From a substitute abandoned by the team, he has grown into the boss of a playoff team. Si's experience is very inspirational, which also makes him more willing to prove himself to the fans after being affirmed, and the team did not choose the wrong person.
Relying on Ellis' strong opening performance, the two teams tied at 18 in the first half of the first quarter.
In the last minute of the first quarter, Price and Hornacek each hit a three-pointer for the Warriors, who had been inseparable from the Supersonics. :1 leading the Sonics by 30 points.
The two three-pointers at the end of the first quarter did catch the SuperSonics by surprise. However, in the second quarter, the Warriors never had such an opportunity again. Ellis also only rested for 2 minutes in the first quarter. Next, at the beginning of the second quarter, he returned to the court.
Relying on Ellis and McDaniel to score 8 points, the Sonics still tied the score in the middle of the second quarter.
After that, the Warriors started back on the court.
In tonight's game, the state of the Warriors looks relatively average. The reason why the team is so anxious to play against the Sonics is not only that Ellis is in a good state, but also has something to do with the state of the team itself.
Even so, the Warriors still relied on their super offensive firepower to prevent the SuperSonics from overtaking the score.
Until the second half of the second quarter, Rodman, who had been unknown all the time, suddenly stood up in such a stalemate.
On weekdays, the Warriors' shooters are more accurate than the other. Rodman can't grab a few rebounds at all, but tonight is different. Deman's figure.
Especially near the end of halftime, Rodman grabbed offensive rebounds for the Warriors' missed shots in three consecutive rounds, and then scored in the second offense.
Don't say anything about one or two, are you not finished yet?
Michael Cage, who is facing him, is also a good rebounder. How can Rodman be bullied like this?
When Rodman grabbed the offensive rebound again in the fourth round and was about to make a layup, Cage directly slapped Rodman with the ball.
For a while, Rodman was slapped hard on the floor holding the basketball, making a "snap", and then the referee blew his whistle.
Seeing Rodman's miserable appearance, Malone's face suddenly changed, he pushed Cage away, and said viciously, "What the hell do you want?"
However, just when the conflict was about to happen, Rodman, who heard the referee's whistle, sat up from the ground, and then smiled and applauded with his braces on.
Everyone around was taken aback by Rodman's neurotic behavior, thinking: This guy won't be thrown stupid, right?
Rodman threw the ball away, Malone immediately pulled Rodman up, and Rodman came to Cage with a smile and said, "Are you angry?"
"Fuck off! I didn't!"
"You're just angry!"
"What the hell are you talking about?"
"Look, you're just angry! I just like the way you look like you can't kill me when you're angry?" Rodman said with a playful smile.
Seeing Rodman's cheap look, Cage's blood rushed to his head immediately, and he punched Rodman with his fist.
Caught off guard, Rodman was hit on the cheek, and suddenly a big bun swelled up on the left side of his face. Players from both sides rushed over to fight. Of course, it was mainly Lacage, because Rodman didn't fight back at all.
He just raised his hands with a smile, indicating that he didn't hit anyone, and shouted at Cage: "Come on! Come and kill me! Didn't you eat? Tickle me?"
Fortunately, the other teammates of the Sonics held Cage tightly, preventing Cage from continuing to hit Rodman, and Malone also blocked Rodman firmly behind him, which avoided a bigger conflict.
In the end, the referee ran over and expelled the hitting Cage from the field. Then, ignoring the pleas of other Sonics players, he came to Rodman and gave him a verbal warning to concentrate on playing.
At this point, Rodman still looked aggrieved, pointing to his cheek and said: "Referee, I am wronged, it is obvious that he hit me!"
The referee pointed to his eyes, indicating that he was not blind, and then pointed to the free throw line, allowing Rodman to make a free throw.
