Chapter 376 Leading by Three Points
With a smile on his face, Rodman, with his swollen cheeks, made two free throws and basically completed the task.
Even when Rodman made a free throw, the Sonics' Ellis and head coach Bickerstaff were still communicating with the referee, but this did not change the fact that Cage was ejected.
Now, as Stern has been in the NBA for longer and longer, the vicious incidents such as fights on the field are getting tighter and tighter. Therefore, the referee Javi has no tolerance for Cage who hit someone.
Although he knew that Cage was provoked by Rodman, it was Cage himself who did it after all, and Rodman didn't fight back, what a cunning guy.
Thinking of how young he was when he played Rodman for the first time, and now, he looks like an old fritters. Really, is another good boy being taught badly?
The loss of Cage meant that the Sonics' inside defense was seriously damaged. Center Liszt could not stop the ferocious Malone and Rodman at all, and Alden Polynes, who replaced Cage, obviously Not suitable for supersonic speed, completely unable to replace Cage's role.
Poor Sonics, trade Pippen for such a guy!
Fortunately, there was only more than a minute left before halftime. The Supersonics did not allow the Warriors to open up too much. At halftime, the Warriors led the Supersonics by 56 points at 51:5.
Although the difference in points was not that big, none of the Supersonic players had a happy face, because everyone knew that the real test had only begun now.
Sure enough, after entering the third quarter, the Warriors launched a tidal wave of offense. At the beginning, the Supersonics were able to rely on their offense to maintain the score, but after a long time, the Supersonics' defense suddenly collapsed. In the end, the Warriors have led the SuperSonics by 13 points.
This is not over yet, just at the beginning of the fourth quarter, the Warriors came off the bench and played a wave of 10:0 offensive climax, directly opening the point difference to more than 20 points.
So far, the Sonics have no hope of reversing. In the end, the Warriors beat the Sonics 115:93 at home. Especially in the fourth quarter, the Sonics only scored 18 points.
Dale Ellis scored a game-high 36 points. Although he still played in the fourth quarter, he still failed to change the team's fate of losing.
The Warriors still maintain the tradition of multiple players scoring in double figures. Li Weisi scored 25 points and 7 assists, Mullin 17 points and 4 assists, Malone 22 points and 8 rebounds, Richmond 12 points, Price 14 points and 6 assists. Kevos had 12 points and 8 rebounds.
After defeating the Supersonics, the Warriors have also expanded their winning streak to 10 consecutive victories, ranking first in the league, and opened 2 wins with the second-ranked Pistons.
After two days of rest, the Warriors ushered in a challenge from the Rockets at home.
In addition to getting Otis Thorpe this season, the Rockets also signed Mike Woodson from the Clippers.
During the offseason, Woodson, who became a free agent, couldn't resist the persuasion of former teammate Floyd and others, abandoned the Clippers, who had no hope, and came to the Rockets.
The poor Clippers are really about to be bald.
Sampson, who was acquired at a huge price last season, is still a glass attribute. The strong players in the team have left the team one after another, and they don't even have a draft pick. It is really miserable.
With the addition of Mike Woodson, the Rockets' strength is more balanced. The starting five are:Slip Floyd, Mike Woodson, Ken Norman, Otis Thorpe and Ackey Tom Olajuwon has the ability to average more than 10 points per game.
Therefore, tonight the Rockets and the Warriors launched a very anxious game.
The two sides went from a 32 tie in the first quarter to a 67 tie at halftime, and the game never started.
After entering the second half, the shooting percentage of the two sides dropped slightly, but the score has not been opened.
The inside defensive combination composed of Olajuwon and Thorpe is better than Malone and Rodman. After all, the impact of the center on the defensive system is greater than that of the power forward, and Malone is obviously not as good as Olajuwon's defense.
Fortunately, although the Warriors' three outside guns are under great pressure to score inside, they can still maintain a certain amount of firepower in the outside offense.
In this way, in the third quarter, the two teams once again tied at 27 in a single quarter, evenly matched.
This is the first time the Warriors have entered the fourth quarter this season without a leading attitude. The fans at the scene raised their hearts to their throats, worrying that the team's winning streak will end.
In fact, maintaining a winning streak is not necessarily a good thing for a team. The regular season is a marathon. degree is very difficult.
As the winning streak continues to accumulate, psychological pressure and mental exhaustion will cause a huge burden on the team members.
Such a game is not conducive to the team's final championship.
However, the fans don't care about this. In their hearts, the more games they win, the better. They wish the Warriors won 82 consecutive victories!
After entering the fourth quarter, the score was still very tight, and neither side allowed the other side to widen the gap.
When the time came to the last minute before the end of the game, the score between the two sides was 1:116. Floyd held the ball and wanted to break through Li Weisi's defense.
However, Li Weisi had already predicted it in advance, and always kept in front of Floyd's offensive line, constantly harassing Floyd.
Seeing this situation, Floyd knew that it was impossible for him to attack the basket, so he turned around in the penalty area and ran out again, hoisting the ball into the inside.
After Olajuwon received the ball, everyone in the Rockets pulled away, leaving Olajuwon to play singles.
Faced with his former teacher Malone behind him, Olajuwon did not have the slightest pressure. After 8 years of acquaintance, Olajuwon knew all of Malone's technical moves.
I saw Olajuwon's shoulders shaking slightly, and then immediately turned around and looked like he was about to shoot. Malone, who was shorter, knew that he shouldn't jump, but he jumped up involuntarily.
Sure enough, in the next second, Olajuwon kept his pivot foot still, bent over and took a step forward with his left foot, and then took off for a layup. Everything was done in one go.
Just when everyone thought the ball was bound to be scored, a figure rushed over from the side, leaped high, and pinned the ball in Olajuwon's hand to the backboard with a slap.
This person is none other than Rodman, who is full of energy and has an uneven left and right face.
After receiving the rebound, Rodman immediately found Li Weisi and passed the ball.
However, the praying mantis caught the cicada and the oriole was behind. Just when Li Weisi was about to catch the ball, Floyd ran out from behind Li Weisi and knocked the ball away. The basketball rolled to the bottom corner and was caught by Mike Woodson of the Rockets. picked up.
At this time, it was less than a second before 24 seconds. Woodson had no time to think, and after avoiding Richmond's let go, he immediately jumped up and shot.
Wen Neng draws a pen to secure the world, Wu Neng three points determine the universe!
Woodson hit a three-pointer, the score was 119:116, and the Rockets led by three points.
