Soul of the Golden State

Chapter 800 Sharp turn down
Drexler broke Mullin to the right, although Mullin knew that Drexler would go from the right as early as the Dream Team, and laughed at Drexler along with others, but Still can't stop him.

Unexpectedly, the clown was me in the end!

After breaking through Mullin, Drexler plucked the green onions on the dry land and directly chose the emergency stop jumper. If it was left behind, Drexler would never choose a dry jumper. After all, his shooting is very unstable. This kind of shooting is equivalent to blindness. Throw.

This time, however, despite Mullin's best efforts to interfere, there was still no gain, and Drexler hit the ball firmly.

After entering the second half, Drexler's touch suddenly became fiery, perhaps because the blind three-pointer at the buzzer in the first half played a role, or it was because Tomjanovich was caught by Tomjanovich during the intermission In short, after entering the second half, Drexler was completely different from the first half, and his shots were terrifyingly accurate.

And under his outstanding performance, he also drove the Rockets team, making the Warriors face strong resistance from the Rockets at the beginning of the second half, and finally with Drexler's mid-range shot, the Rockets successfully chased the Rockets. Tied the score.

After so many contests, the fortunes of the two sides have already been turned upside down by the other side. It can be said that at this time, we are watching, who can come up with something that is not usually available, even a little bit, can help the team achieve the usual results. An advantage that is difficult to create.

In the face of Drexler's outstanding performance on the Rockets' side, the Warriors also need someone to stand up, and this person is none other than Mullin who is playing against Drexler.

In fact, these two stars who are close to the end of their career peaks are rarely discussed together. If it weren't for this matchup, the two would not be compared at all because they are completely incomparable.

Although Drexler, as the boss of the team, led the team to the finals twice, but he had no championship in his career. He could only return to his hometown of Houston at the end of his career and defected to his good brother Olajuwon, hoping to win a championship. rings.

As for Mullin, he assisted Li Weisi and won three championships as the team's second head. It can be said that in the early 3s, Mullin and Pippen were the top two small forward candidates in the league. There are different opinions on who is the first and who is the second.

In short, contrary to the evaluations of the two people in the original time and space, Mullin now surpasses Drexler in terms of fame, historical status, and honors.

However, in this series of proof duels, Mullin has always been at a disadvantage. Whether it is offense or defense, it seems that Drexler's performance is not as good.

Naturally, there are factors such as Mullin not playing for more than half of the season and being plagued by injuries, but this does not mean that fans, the media or even Mullin himself can accept it.

Looking at this person who is not as strong as himself (Mulin's perspective), but blowing himself up on both ends of the offense and defense, with Mullin's proud character, it is absolutely unacceptable.

Therefore, when he saw that Drexler had started to score in the second half, he couldn't sit still.

This time it was the Warriors' turn to attack. Mullin spared no effort to use his running positions to create opportunities for himself. Drexler followed closely behind Mullin.

It's just that Drexler is seen as tall and burly, and his speed is like a donkey in the fast break, but on the defensive end, it is difficult for him to keep up with Mullin's footsteps.

After a while, Mullin successfully ran out a chance, and then Li Weisi's pass came as scheduled.

Mullin didn't stop after receiving the ball, and immediately chose to shoot. The speed was so fast that before Drexler rushed over, Mullin had already completed the shot.

With a three-pointer, the Warriors regained the lead.

The game that followed seemed to be a one-man show between the two. No one expected that in such a crucial life-and-death match, it would be the second in command of the two teams that would dominate this period of time.

In the end, Mullin was the first to have a problem. However, this was based on the fact that Drexler couldn't hold on first.

What does that mean?

In fact, it was because Drexler felt that he had spent a lot of energy defending Mullin on the defensive end, and the Rockets' offense at this time was relying on him. Therefore, he decisively negotiated with Maxwell. Swell went to defend Mullin while he defended Richmond himself.

It was precisely because of Drexler's defensive substitution that Mullin suddenly felt that the defensive rhythm had changed on the offensive end, and his continuous scoring state was interrupted.

On the other hand, Drexler, although Richmond also noticed this and took the initiative to make a substitution with Mullin on the defensive end, and he defended himself, but Drexler was not afraid of Richmond.

Especially in terms of strength and physical confrontation, even if Richmond faced Jordan's back hit, Jordan still felt uncomfortable, but with Drexler, he was actually resisted by Drexler .

Of course, whether it is the combination of man-ball or the use of the body, Drexler cannot be compared with Jordan, but Drexler feels good now, no matter how he shoots, there is no defensive substitution. Interfere with Drexler's state.

Therefore, after being tied, the Rockets did not stop them from continuing to score, and actually opened up the point difference a little bit in the third quarter.

When the score was the most, it was once stretched to 7 points. In this case, Nelson did not dare to replace the starter easily, for fear that after being replaced by the substitute, he would not be able to withstand the pressure and suffer a catastrophe. Finish.

Therefore, the Warriors' starters were all left on the court, advancing and retreating with the Rockets' starters.

In this case, as Mullin's shooting rate began to decline, Li Weisi decisively took over the banner of offense.

First on the offensive end, he hit a drop shot with the help of a pick-and-roll, and then in a positional battle, he broke through and passed the ball to Richmond who slipped the baseline. The latter avoided Drexler's block at the basket. Layup from the opposite direction.

In this way, the Warriors quickly narrowed the score to only 3 points.

It's a pity that the Warriors are still short of breath if they want to completely even out the point difference, or to overtake again. At the end of the third quarter, it was Drexler again. When Smith missed a three-pointer, Picked up the long rebound, hit a jumper over Richmond, and it was another buzzer.

In this way, with the two teams starting the third quarter, the Rockets overtook the Warriors by 92 points at 87:5, from 8 points behind to overtaking the Warriors by 5 points. In this quarter, the Rockets chased 13 points inside and out. .

No one expected that after just one quarter, the situation of the game would take a turn for the worse for the Warriors, reaching a very unfavorable situation.
