Chapter 801 Received the Ball
During the fast break, Kukoc came to the opponent's penalty area with his two long legs, and suddenly received the ball and took a European step. He beautifully got rid of the Rockets' substitute Chilkat and made a layup from the other side. .

As a general on the bench, although Kukoc doesn't score much in each game, he can always create magical goals, which is impressive.

In addition, on the bench, Cassell looks too ugly, and Sprewell doesn't look like a good person, which makes Kukoc, who looks handsome and handsome, more popular with fans. No matter what era he is in, he looks very handsome important.

With this goal scored, the Warriors once again narrowed the point difference to only 1 point.

After entering the fourth quarter, despite Nelson's reluctance, he had to replace the substitute players. Unlike the Rockets who can fuck their stars, the Warriors, whether it is Li Weisi or Mullin, are not the kind of physical monsters, especially they are all based on Stars who are good at shooting need to protect their physical strength even more.

Therefore, at the beginning of the fourth quarter, the pressure on the Warriors is huge. If the Warriors do not perform well off the bench, the Rockets may further open up the score. At that time, even if the starter wants to catch up, it will be difficult to catch up. .

Fortunately, at this time, Kukoc stepped forward. He scored 5 points in a row and successfully helped the team not only not be opened by the Rockets, but also narrowed to 1 point.

However, the Rockets will not sit still. Olajuwon and Drexler are both on the court at this time. It can be said that they are equivalent to half of the main team of the Rockets. Naturally, they have strength.

Therefore, after two consecutive rounds without scoring, the Rockets point guard Brooks took the initiative to hand the ball to Olajuwon, the first offensive point of the Rockets.

After receiving the ball, Olajuwon faced PJ Brown who was defending him at this time. Compared with Divac, Brown's defense is undoubtedly much better.

Since joining the Warriors in 92, he has continued to improve, learning from seniors such as Rodman and Moses Malone in the team. It can be said that his defense is now definitely at the league's elite level. If he can play longer , It is not surprising to even win a defensive formation.

But even with such a defensive ability, Brown is still passive when facing Olajuwon. It can even be said that if there is no defense, Olajuwon can almost fight as he wants!
This time is no exception. When Olajuwon was in singles, he didn't even use his fantasy footsteps. He directly chose to turn around and hook, and hit the board.

Sure enough, in the absence of double-teaming, in a positional battle, handing the ball to Olajuwon is the most reassuring.

With Olajuwon's goal, the point difference came to 3 points, and the Warriors called a timeout, and after the timeout, all the starters were replaced. At this time, it was only past the start of the fourth quarter More than 2 minutes, but Nelson has realized that the final decisive battle has begun, and the game situation does not allow him to continue to reserve room.

The Rockets also had a premonition that the Warriors might have to make a substitution during the timeout, and they actually came back from the timeout and replaced the other three starters.

At this point, the whole game has officially entered the final decisive moment.

In the following games, the Warriors' Li Weisi took the initiative to take over the offensive banner. Unable to create opportunities for his teammates, he used his own scoring ability to constantly tear the Rockets' defense line, while looking for scoring opportunities, and stalemate with the Rockets.

In this way, the time passed by every minute and every second, and the end of the game was getting closer and closer.

While defending, Rodman successfully intercepted Smith's pass to Olajuwon, and immediately counterattacked. This time the ball did not pass through Li Weisi's hands, but Rodman made a direct long pass to Li Weisi who took the lead. Chimond.

Drexler behind him is also not slow, closely following Richmond, Richmond naturally knows this, but no matter how fast he is, he can't get rid of Drexler Le.

Therefore, Richmond immediately ignored it and chose to rush all the way with the ball. After reaching the basket like this, Richmond still failed to get rid of Drexler.

But Richmond directly chose to layup. At the same time, Drexler also exhausted all his strength and jumped almost as high as a two-story building.

It has to be said that Richmond's physical fitness is already very good, but it is a pity that he ran into Drexler.

Under Drexler's interference, the basketball went out of the basket and missed!
Fortunately, Richmond jumped up and down, while Drexler jumped forward, so that at this time, Drexler jumped out of the bottom line and couldn't come back.

After Richmond grabbed the rebound from the basket, he took advantage of the situation and put the ball into the basket, and finally scored the goal without any risk.

This goal is very critical, because with this goal, the Warriors finally achieved a lead with 116:115. At this time, there are only 16.1 seconds left before the end of the game.

To complete the overtake at the last moment of the game, such a situation is quite difficult for the Rockets, and head coach Tomjanovich also called a timeout immediately.

16 seconds is not enough time for a complete attack, which also means that the Rockets will not press the time to the end before playing, but in this situation, who will the Rockets give the ball to, Olajuwon?Or Drexler?Or someone else?
After returning from the timeout, the Warriors replaced Mullin and Divac, and put Sprewell and PJ Brown on the court, obviously to increase the defense.

Brown needless to say, and although Sprewell is not as tall as Mullin, he is superior to Mullin in terms of strength, explosive power and speed. Overall, his defensive ability is more than one level higher than Mullin.

Therefore, it can be foreseen that the Warriors are bound to win this defense.

The same is true for the Rockets, but the Rockets' starting lineup is their most powerful offensive lineup, so there is no room for adjustment.

After the two sides stood up, the game officially started as the referee handed the ball to Murray who was serving from the sideline.

Regarding the Rockets' defense, the Warriors are very aggressive, especially Olajuwon and Drexler. Their defenders Brown and Richmond are determined not to let them get the ball.

In this case, however, Drexler ran a pick-and-roll with Olajuwon, and after Olajuwon blocked Richmond, Drexler quickly ran behind Olajuwon. Go, successfully created space to receive the ball.

Murray handed the ball to Drexler immediately, and Brown quickly raised it, resolutely not letting Drexler shoot.

However, what people did not expect was that Drexler, who had already taken off, did not shoot, but passed the ball to Olajuwon who was running down after the jump. At this time, Richmond had already Can't stop Olajuwon from running at all.

In this way, not far from the basket, Olajuwon received the ball.
