Chapter 896 Final Results
For the Warriors' counterattack, the Sonics had expected it a long time ago, but when this happened, they still found that the Warriors' counterattack was far more violent than they imagined.
Kemp of the Supersonics took off after receiving Payton's point and wanted to dunk directly, but was blocked by Rodman. Rodman jumped up and blocked Kemp's dunk from the front.
As the morale of the Warriors is getting higher and higher, their defensive intensity is also increasing, which makes the Sonics' offense that is not wealthy, suddenly worse.
For example, for the ball in front of him, in normal times, Kemp would definitely score steadily. However, at this time, facing Rodman, whose morale was soaring, Rodman froze him down from the air.
After Kemp fell to the ground, Rodman controlled the basketball and passed it to Li Weisi immediately, and the Warriors immediately took off.
Because there is one less player, even though the rest of the Supersonics have retreated, they still belong to the side with fewer players in the frontcourt.
The Warriors did not give them a chance to prepare. After Li Weisi came to the frontcourt, a simple bow to Buddha immediately tricked Payton, and then Li Weisi went inside. After attracting the defense, he went directly to the basket. With a throw near the basket, Divac took the ball and made an alley-oop and made a layup.
That's right, the only regret of this ball is that it was a layup instead of a slam dunk!
With this goal scored, the Warriors finally overtook the score with 2 minutes and 32 seconds left before the end of the game. This was the first time the Warriors took the lead in the entire game.
At this point in the game, Coach Carl could only call a timeout.
With Li Weisi persisting for three quarters, in the fourth quarter, others began to recover gradually, causing the Sonics' defense to collapse, allowing the Warriors to complete the lead in terms of score.
Coach Karl's response to this is very simple, starting with defense.
This is the housekeeping skill of the Sonics, and it is also the foundation of their foothold. Fighting for offense, the Sonics can't beat the Warriors anyway.
Therefore, the way to solve the team's crisis at this time is to find a way to restrain the Warriors' offense.
However, this is easier said than done. At this time, the Warriors are in good condition. The rest of the Warriors can really put the ball into the basket after receiving the pass from Li Weisi.
In addition to repeatedly emphasizing the importance of defense, coach Carl also let Payton unload the burden, use his excellent state tonight, try his best to attack, and no other adjustments will be made.
After all, it's been a night of fighting, and it's all nonsense to expect any strange formations now.
After returning to the court, Payton did show his big heart. In the offense, facing Li Weisi's defense, with the help of pick and roll, Payton went straight to the basket, successfully caused Divac's foul, and won two points. free throw.
Although Payton missed the first free throw, with the second free throw, the scores of the two teams returned to the same starting line.
After completing the offense, in the next defense, the Sonics really showed their demeanor as a strong defensive team. Through the cooperation of the whole team, they successfully blocked Finley's pass and finally Ended up out of bounds.
With the reshaping of the Supersonics' defensive system, the Warriors' offensive climax finally came to an end, and the two teams began a tug-of-war again, and the score began to show a trend of alternating leads.
Facing Payton's defense, Li Weisi made another throw after breaking through, and the Warriors led 87:85.
Looking back, it was the turn of the Supersonics to attack, and Payton was also on Li Weisi's head, hitting a mid-range hit, and tied again at 87:87.
Then it was the Warriors' turn to attack. This time, Li Weisi was attracting double-teams and gave the ball to Divac on the inside. However, when Divac made a layup, he was interfered by Perkins and missed.
This time the situation is very different. At this time, there are 28 seconds left before the end of the game. The reason why the Warriors played so fast before was to grab an offensive round.
But it's good now, because he failed to make a shot, the initiative of the game has come to the Sonics.
After Payton came to the frontcourt with the ball, he stopped and used his body to separate Li Weisi from the basketball in his hand, wasting time.
Obviously, the Sonics intend to push time to the end, and the less time left for the Warriors, the better.
With the last 8 seconds left in the attack time, Payton started to start. With the help of the pick-and-roll given to him by Kemp, after getting rid of Li Weisi, he didn't run to the basket, but directly chose a three-point shot.
To be honest, this is not a correct choice. It can even be said that, except for Li Weisi, it is unreasonable for anyone else in the league to play like this.
In fact, Payton didn't want to play like this, but when he received the ball, he noticed that Li Weisi hit his arm, so he took advantage of the opportunity to throw it out, trying to cheat a foul.
However, when he finished shooting, he realized that the referee hadn't blown it.
These blind people!
Payton suddenly seemed to be yelling, but at this moment, he saw the basketball hit the backboard, bounced into the net, and the ball went in!
Payton couldn't care less about arguing with the referee now, and quickly started cheering. At this time, he was afraid that the referee would call a foul, especially when he judged that it was not a shooting foul, but an early foul. This offense has become a fait accompli.
In the end, the referee didn't whistle any fouls, and the shot was valid. With 5.7 seconds before the end of the game, the Sonics led the Warriors 90:87.
The Warriors requested a timeout.
In fact, during this timeout, the two teams were well aware of Nelson's last offensive arrangement. If Li Weisi didn't give the ball to Li Weisi, who else could he give it to?
The reason why Nelson called this timeout is more to serve the ball in the frontcourt, so that the players have the opportunity to directly shoot three-pointers.
After the timeout, the Supersonics actually sent two people to stand in front of Li Weisi. Obviously, they decided to let Li Weisi not take the ball even if he died, so they gave up trying to interfere with the Warriors' sideline serve.
Seeing this situation, Divac, who served the sideline ball, also extinguished his heart to pass the ball to Li Weisi. In this case, Divac had no way to pass the ball to Li Weisi. Clamped down, there is no way to make a move.
And just like that, Divac passed the ball to Richmond, the Warriors' No. [-] pick on the game-winning shot.
Richmond who got the ball did not make any adjustments, and directly completed the shot from outside the three-point line. However, Richmond's three-pointers on weekdays are mostly spot-on three-pointers. Experience is not rich.
No, under Schramf's interference, the basketball hit the rim, bounced out, and the ball missed!
However, at this critical moment, Rodman under the basket played a role. He slapped the ball out, and the destination of the basketball happened to be Li Weisi who arrived.
It turned out that when Richmond made a shot, Li Weisi's defender relaxed his vigilance and even wanted to grab a rebound, which gave Li Weisi a chance to get rid of the defense.
When Rodman grabbed the rebound, he had already taken Li Weisi's movement into consideration, so he directly shot the ball over.
After catching the ball, Li Weisi had no time to adjust his movements. He completed the shot with the fastest speed, and let the basketball leave his fingertips before the game timer light was on.
For a moment, everyone in the audience looked at the basketball flying towards the basket, waiting for the final result.
