Soul of the Golden State

Chapter 909 In one fell swoop

Warriors and Rockets in the fourth game, the day after the game, the major sports media rushed to report the result of the game, and under the indiscriminate bombardment of the media, it also triggered countless discussions.

From school to the company, from newspapers to the Internet, everyone who pays attention to basketball started discussing at the same time. For such a wonderful performance of the Warriors, other basketball lovers except Rockets fans were very excited. After all, this series of games that witnessed miracles, Not often.

And this atmosphere of discussion has even blown into the Bulls team Li who is preparing for the game. They were actually discussing with great interest during the warm-up before the game.

"I didn't expect that the Warriors are so fierce, they can push the Big Three Rockets to this level!"

"That's right! But that's fine too. For us, the disabled warriors are better than the Rockets of the Big Three, right?"

"That's true. The Big Three of the Rockets are indeed scary when you think about it. What do you think? Scotty?"

When Sekali and Smith were having a heated discussion, they suddenly saw Pippen walking towards them, and Smith asked proactively.

"Me? I still think the Warriors are better!" Pippen had come to pick up the ball, but when someone asked him, he picked up the ball and answered without hesitation.

"Why do you think it's a warrior?" Steve puzzled.

"Because of West!" Pippen's answer seemed reasonable.

However, upon hearing Pippen's answer, which was almost like a fan of brains, Steve lost interest in continuing to ask. After all, arguing with such a fan of brains is completely meaningless.

So he asked the team boss Jordan desperately.

In the Bulls, most people seldom provoke Jordan, because you can't beat him in the game, spraying people, let alone Jordan's opponents, no one in the Bulls can escape Jordan's watering can.

"Michael? What do you think?"

At this time, Jordan was seriously training, and he didn't intend to pay attention to everyone's discussion, but when Smith asked himself, Jordan finally said impatiently.

"I really didn't expect that someone would ask such a stupid question. One team beat another team. Which team do you think is the best?" Jordan said to Steve after receiving the ball.

"This... But, isn't this how the Warriors are in good condition! The Rockets are stronger in terms of hard power, right?" Jordan almost pointed at his nose and scolded Steve, a little unconvinced.

"Hmph, will you lose if you are stronger? Or lose by such a big score? How many years will it take to have a cerebral thrombosis to ask such a question?"

"A big loss? Now that the series is not over, maybe the Rockets can fight the Warriors until Game [-] or Game [-]?"

"Impossible, the Warriors will definitely eliminate the Rockets in the next game!" Jordan interrupted Steve unceremoniously and said in a firm tone.

"4:1? True or false?" Steve asked in disbelief.

"Of course, West will not give the opponent a chance! Therefore, we must win tonight. After sweeping the Magic, we will face the Warriors!" Jordan almost said these words in a commanding tone.

Although the other Bulls teammates don’t agree with Jordan’s words, if there is a chance to sweep the Magic, none of the teammates will object. After all, the Magic is indeed a terrible opponent. Only by killing him can everyone feel at ease .

That's right, compared to the Warriors leading the Rockets 3:1, the Bulls' match against the Magic was smoother, and it exceeded all fans' expectations.

Although everyone knows that the Bulls are very strong, but no one imagined that the Bulls can be so strong?

In front of the bulls, the No. [-] magician in the east was like an immature child who was ravaged wantonly by the bulls and had no power to fight back.

This is a bit too much, and it also makes everyone wonder whether the Bulls are too strong or the Magic is too good?

After defeating the Magic in the first game, the Bulls went down to two consecutive cities, and now they lead the Magic 3:0. It seems that it is only a matter of time before the Magic is eliminated. Now the only question left is, will the Magic be swept away?

At this time, O'Neal had only played in the NBA for 4 years and was swept once, so he was not considered a professional player who was swept away, which was different from the predicament of being swept 6 times in the original time and space.

But in this round of this year's series, O'Neal's poor performance is a fact. Compared with Anfernee Hardaway's outstanding performance, O'Neal can't blow up the Bulls inside when the Magic have the upper hand. An important reason behind the score.

Therefore, this also put him at a disadvantage in the negotiations with the Magic, and no effective progress has been made so far.

This is completely unacceptable for a proud man, so under tremendous pressure, O'Neal also made the same decision as Jordan, that is, to win no matter what.

The Magic, already standing on the edge of the cliff at the beginning of the game, were united. With O'Neal's outstanding performance, they made a good start. At the end of the first quarter, they led by 31:23.

However, Jordan, who has decided to sweep his opponent, how could he watch the Magic win the game?
The third quarter of the second half was a turning point. In this quarter, Jordan showed his superstar strength. In the duel with Hardaway, he beat Hardaway from both ends of the offense and defense, and beat the Magic in a single quarter 28:18 , successfully surpassed the score.

In the fourth quarter, the two teams refused to give in to each other, leading the score alternately until the last moment.

At the critical moment, it had to be Jordan, who scored 6 points in a row and successfully helped the Bulls seal the victory.

In the end, the Bulls defeated the Magic 106:101, completed the sweep, eliminated the Magic, and entered the finals first.

Next, they just need to sit firmly on the Diaoyutai and wait for the birth of their opponents.

Moreover, once the Warriors can't beat the Rockets in the second day's game and drag the game to the sixth or even the seventh game, the Bulls will get more rest. It is definitely a good thing to get a few days of rest, which will help the Bulls recharge their batteries.

Therefore, for this situation where there are fierce tigers outside and hungry wolves inside, the sooner the Warriors beat the Rockets in this round of the series, the more they can narrow the gap with the Bulls, and the longer the delay, the more advantage the Bulls will have. big.

However, it is not easy to beat the Rockets quickly.

Falling behind 1:3 is indeed something the Rockets did not expect before the game. For them, the 3:1 that they imagined before the game is more because they are 3.

But now, after being completely awakened by the Warriors, the whole team has gradually unified their thinking, and the Big Three has accelerated their integration. Obviously, when there is a reason not to lose, the running-in of the three is almost complete.

In this case, the Warriors came to Houston to prepare for the Rockets' fifth game. In this game, there is absolutely no reason for both teams to lose.

For them, it's make or break.
