Chapter 885 Can't Hold It Anymore
Payton was very angry when he was beaten like this at the beginning, and the consequences were serious.

Facing the rhythm of the game completely under the control of the Warriors, he decisively slowed down the rhythm. First of all, he had to slow down the entire game, and then return the team's offense to the most primitive stage, continuing to be picked and rolled by his Kemp.

Although in the first round, Kemp dunked the ball, but it was caused by the influence of Divac after all, so this time, after the pick-and-roll, he still passed the ball to Kemp again.

Kemp, who was full of anger, didn't let the ball fly out of his hands this time. He jumped up, almost letting his entire waist and abdomen stick to Rodman's face, and then smashed the ball into the basket.

"Bah, bah, why is your place wet?" Rodman couldn't help complaining when Kemp fell.

"You... that's sweat! Khan!" Kemp, who wanted to scold someone, finally held back and explained to Rodman at the same time.

"Come on, who knows what it is, maybe you saw my handsome figure on the court, and you might even be high!" Rodman ignored Kemp's explanation, turned around and served.

"What the hell..." Kemp saw that his explanations were all in vain, so he simply didn't say anything, and continued to give Rodman another fierce look, then turned around and immediately returned to defense, but the speed was faster than usual Quite a lot.

Although this dunk was ridiculed by Rodman, it has to be said that this dunk finally broke the scoring drought for the Sonics, and finally allowed the Sonics to score.

In the next game, the Supersonics' offense finally recovered gradually. They played back and forth with the Warriors, and the point difference was finally not widened. side.

In this way, following the Warriors all the time, it is difficult for the Sonics to recover the score.

Sure enough, at the end of the first quarter, the Warriors led the SuperSonics by 33 points at 24:8.

Even if the team is the Warriors and the defending champions, it won't work for a fifth in the Western Conference.

The confrontation between the two teams in the first quarter also completely awakened the Supersonics, making them realize that they have no advantage in front of the Warriors. After all, in the regular season of this season, the two teams also fought 2:2. flat.

Therefore, when their hearts began to settle and their spirits became more concentrated, the strength they erupted also became greater and greater.

Therefore, when the two teams met again in the second quarter, the Warriors suddenly felt that the entire state of the opposing team was not right.

At the beginning of the second quarter, the Sonics still used a mixed lineup, Payton, Nate McMillan, Schramf, Sam Perkins, and Frank Brickkowski.

When Cassel was attacking, he found that Payton's defense was full of aggressiveness. Since Payton also had a rest in the second half of the first quarter, there were not many opportunities for Kassel and Payton to fight. thought.

After consecutive back-ups were found to be ineffective, he gave up decisively and waved to PJ Brown, ready to play a pick-and-roll. However, when he just turned sideways, Payton suddenly stabbed the basketball controlled by Cassell. up.

After Cassel found that the basketball was out of control, he immediately turned around to chase the ball, but Payton was one step faster than him, and with a diving save, he put the basketball in his arms.

Not only that, Cassel, who reacted a beat slower, was tripped by Payton's body. When he wanted to get up to grab the ball, Payton who fell on the ground had already passed the ball to the responding McMillan.

After McMillan got the ball, he quickly advanced forward. Curry couldn't catch up and was thrown behind by McMillan, which finally led to McMillan's easy layup.

If it is said that the two points at the beginning were only due to Cassel's mistakes, but in the next three rounds, except for one of the rounds, Kukoc made a mid-range hit, the other two offenses of the Warriors failed.

And this also led to the Sonics getting two fast break opportunities, and both scored. As a result, the original 9-point difference was instantly reduced to 3 points.

Just when Nelson was still hesitating whether to call a timeout, Payton completed the steal again, intercepting Kukoc's pass to Horry, and then quickly pushed to counterattack, and during the counterattack, the ball was already dropped Schramf in the bottom corner, the latter raised his knife and hit a three-pointer, and the 9-point difference was immediately wiped out. This caused Nelson to call a timeout in no time because of it.

Back from the timeout, the Warriors' starters also returned to the field, but this did not stop the Sonics from continuing to counterattack.

Although as soon as he came up, Li Weisi used a mid-range shot to score another two points for the Warriors.

But then, on the Supersonic side, Kemp, who returned to the field, went to the basket again, and after a body collision with Rodman in the air, he put the ball into the basket.

Obviously, the Warriors couldn't hold back the Supersonic's attack at this time.

Not only that, but in the Warriors' offense, they also found that compared with the first quarter, the Supersonics' defense has improved by more than one level. For a while, the Warriors' transfer of the ball began to stagnate. Every transfer of the ball , will increase the risk of the basketball being broken.

In this case, in the end, Richmond could only catch the pot in a hurry. However, Hawkins defended the ball extremely tightly, so Richmond had to do a lever-like action in the air , but when he shot, the whistle had already sounded.

24 seconds violation!
The Sonics actually prevented the Warriors from a 24-second violation.

When the referee's whistle blew, Payton ran forward excitedly and slapped Hawkins on the back. Don't look at it as just an ordinary defensive success, but for the improvement of the supersonic momentum, is very obvious.

Sure enough, in the next attack, the Sonics played very excitedly. Although there was someone in front of him, Hawkins was full of confidence, and shot directly against Richmond's defense, and he really scored!
This three-pointer was extremely tough, and with this three-pointer, the Supersonics also achieved a lead.

Although later, Li Weisi added two points for the Warriors through a layup, but the Sonics were completely confident at this time. In the next round, Payton actually shot a three-pointer at the top of the arc, and also made a hit.

Now the Supersonic has completely checked out Yanzu—press (I) can't stand it anymore.

Throughout the second quarter, the Supersonics scored 30 points in a single quarter. You must know that for the offensive ability of the Supersonics, scoring 30 points is a complete meal. At the same time, they also limited the Warriors' scoring to 16 points. That is to say, by the halftime of the game, the Sonics had overtaken the Warriors by 54 points at 49:5.

Now, the balance of victory in the entire game has fallen to the Supersonic side.
