Soul of the Golden State

Chapter 589 Shocked
In the evening of June 6, there was a sudden shower in Auckland, accompanied by lightning, thunder, and howling wind, as if entering the end of the world ahead of schedule.

In fact, Auckland has a Mediterranean climate with very little rain in summer, so today is definitely a special day.

But even so, it can't stop the enthusiasm of Golden State fans.

An hour before the start of the game, countless Golden State fans braved the heavy rain and rushed to the Oakland Stadium one after another.

Every fan who entered the arena was very excited and full of enthusiasm, which was in stark contrast to the heavy rain outside.

After winning the fifth game, the Warriors are now in a very favorable position. As long as they win the next game, they will win the championship.

Walking into the arena, the on-site performance group has begun to enliven the atmosphere. Unfortunately, the lack of mascots made the opening of the Warriors not unique enough.

In fact, the mascots of the Warriors have been widely collected, and they are collected for the entire Greater Bay Area. Currently, the top three most popular are: the American black bear, the California ground squirrel, and the high-altitude flying man Sang Germany.

Of course, in addition to the Warriors, there are actually many teams in the league that don't have mascots, including the two giants in the league, the Los Angeles Lakers and the New York Knicks. They didn't even have one until 30 years later.

Or maybe you could say they've always had one, Jack Nicholson and Spike Lee.

After a series of pre-match activities, the players of the two teams came out on time. The moment Li Weisi came out of the player tunnel, he heard the most enthusiastic cheers from the audience. He was probably not as enthusiastic about the president as he is now.

Li Weisi waved to the surroundings, and then went straight into the court. Li Weisi, who was used to such cheers, was doing warm-up exercises as usual.

After trying to throw a few balls, I found that the hand feeling is not bad, but it can only be regarded as average, and it cannot be compared with the previous game.

In the last game, Li Weisi made 10 three-pointers in a single game, setting a record for three-pointers in a single game in the NBA Finals.

It's a pity that such a good feeling doesn't happen every night. Although Li Weisi also felt it was a pity, he didn't take it to heart. He was full of confidence in tonight's victory.

The two teams continued the previous lineup. At this time, for both sides, there was no secret to each other, and it was completely to the point of fighting bayonet head-on. Well, it was not the bayonet fight you thought!

This time Duckworth did not fail to jump the ball again, helping the Warriors get the ball.

As soon as it came up, the Warriors took the lead in attacking.

Li Weisi did not take the lead in attacking, but gave the ball to Richmond, and he ran to the side to create better shooting opportunities, and to open up space for Richmond.

Facing Price, Richmond broke through and stopped in the middle of the distance, jumping high to shoot. At this time, his movements are somewhat like Jordan's, but unfortunately only when he is facing Price.

Price's block obviously didn't interfere, the ball was hollowed into the net, and Richmond gave the Warriors the lead.

It was the Bulls' turn to attack. Pippen, who performed well on the court, also took the lead to attack tonight. Facing Mullin, he forced a back attack and hit the mid-range. Obviously, he also continued the good form of the previous game tonight.

The two sides tied 2:2.

It was the Warriors' turn to attack again, and Mullin used Duckworth's pick-and-roll to find a chance. Li Weisi naturally wouldn't miss it when he saw it. With a flick of his wrist, the basketball precisely reached Mullin's hands.

Mullin, who received the ball, made no adjustments and directly chose a three-point shot. Pippen's block was slow, and the basketball went straight into the basket.

After scoring the goal, Mullin gave Pippen a provocative look. For Mullin, revenge would not be done overnight, even after another round.

The Bulls attacked, Price received Jordan's breakthrough ball, and made a 45-degree three-pointer from the right, but because of Li Weisi's interference, he missed the hit.

After Rodman grabbed the rebound, the Warriors made a fast break. Unfortunately, by the time the Warriors pushed forward, the Bulls had already completed their defense.

However, at this moment, Li Weisi keenly discovered that the Bulls were just coming back, but their defense was not completely matched, and there were flaws!
Therefore, Li Weisi didn't look at the pass, and directly stuffed the ball into the hands of Duckworth who was running down the inside.

Duckworth, whose weight had grown to one-eighth of a ton, took off on the spot, took advantage of Cartwright's legs and feet slowed down, and dunked the ball into the basket first.

The score came to 7:2.

Looking back, Jordan finally couldn't sit still this time and chose to attack by himself.

Facing Richmond all the way into the penalty area with sparks and lightning, then tossed and moved in the air, twisted his body into a twist, avoided one hand after another, and put the ball into the basket.

Such a beautiful goal, the difficulty factor of the whole process from start to finish is definitely the top. It is a test for the user's body and technology. However, Jordan's completion is obviously quite perfect, the posture is picturesque, and the ball is also scored. It's beautiful, pleasing to the eye, and it also makes Bulls fans crazy!

It's a pity that no matter how difficult and beautiful he is, he only has 2 points.

Looking back, Li Weisi quickly pushed the ball forward. This time the Bulls learned their lesson and retreated quickly after scoring a goal, without giving the Warriors the slightest chance to directly attack the basket.

Seeing this situation, Li Weisi had no choice but to stop, ready to end this unformed fast break, and turn to the ground, but at this moment, he saw Rodman running slowly, and immediately moved the ball in his heart passed it on.

It turned out that Rodman was the last one to start after serving the baseline ball, and his speed was not fast, it could only be regarded as a normal speed, but compared with other teammates who wanted to launch a fast break, he was much slower, so until After the others settled down, Rodman had just crossed the center line.

Grant, who was defending Rodman, was still in the penalty area. After all, Rodman's three-point shooting percentage, forget it, don't mention it, anyway, Grant believes that if he stands here, Rodman will eventually return to him.

It's a pity that Grant was wrong. Not everyone will return to each other after being hurt. Sometimes, once you miss it, it will be a lifetime...

In short, after receiving the pass from Li Weisi, Rodman was stunned for a moment, then saw that there was no one three meters away in front of him, and he directly chose to shoot without thinking, which shocked everyone, including the pass. Li Weisi of the ball.

Originally, Li Weisi didn't mean to let Rodman shoot, just kidding, as far as his three-point shooting percentage is concerned, I might as well shoot against Jordan myself!

He wanted to pass the ball to Rodman for a while, pass the ball through the pick-and-roll hand, and get rid of Jordan to create shooting space, but who knew that Rodman didn't follow the routine at all, and actually shot directly!

Who gave him the courage?

No matter who gave him the courage, Rodman made the shot anyway, and the shot was quite resolute. The basketball slanted across an arc with no arc in the air, hit the backboard, and bounced into the basket.

Seeing this scene, the audience was shocked.
