Soul of the Golden State

Chapter 938
"Defense! Bang Bang Bang! Defense! Bang Bang Bang!"

Nearly 22000 spectators in the arena cheered for the Bulls uniformly. Every note was shaking, and every applause was shaking. Looking around, the scene was so spectacular.

Although the players on the field couldn't see such a scene, such voices always affected the players on the field, but it was completely different to the players of different teams.

In the ears of the players of the home team, this is like the sound of an offensive drum, which makes them feel excited, while in the ears of the players of the visiting team, it is like a loud noise, which always affects their state.

After receiving the pass from Li Weisi, Finley directly attacked the basket. After taking a step, the soles of his feet rose from the ground like a spring, and it seemed that his head was parallel to the basket.

But at this moment, a figure stood in front of Finley, and this person was none other than Jordan!
In this way, Finley's dunk was finally blocked by Jordan ruthlessly. After the basketball was released, Finley also lost his center of gravity in the air and fell down. Jordan, amidst the cheers of the audience, controlled the basketball.

The Bulls launched a counterattack.

"Beautiful block, the 33-year-old Jordan still proved that the sky is his limit, he jumped higher than the 23-year-old Finley! It's incredible!" Stockton faced the microphone, unable to hide He sighed with excitement.

"Jordan brought the ball to the frontcourt of the Warriors. The Warriors retreated quickly and had 4 players back, but Jordan didn't wait. He leaned on Rodman and forced a breakthrough. He was double-teamed, and Jordan shot! He greeted Kukoc made the layup, the ball went in! God, how did Michael make that shot?"

As Stockton explained, it was unbelievable that Jordan scored the ball in the middle of a group of Warriors players.

With this goal scored, the Bulls have chased the score to 10:14.

Seeing that he fell behind in the start, Jordan immediately counterattacked, constantly using various scoring methods, and began to help the Bulls chase points.

Of course, offense alone is not enough. If the Bulls want to beat the Warriors, they must start with defense, so Jordan took the lead in defense, so this scene came into being.

The Warriors were indeed a bit confused at this time. They had missed two consecutive offenses, and the Bulls seized the opportunity to fight back.

Under such circumstances, seeing that the Bulls were about to gain momentum in chasing points, Li Weisi also stood up. On the offensive end, after passing two consecutive pick-and-rolls, he finally ran out of the opportunity and received a hand-off pass from Divac. After the ball, he directly chose a three-point shot, and the basketball went into the net hollowly. At 17:10, the Warriors once again stabilized the point difference.

"Michael stuck his position with his back again. Pippen gave the ball badly. Jordan missed the ball at the first time and was double-teamed. Jordan turned and turned again. With beautiful steps, Jordan got out of the double-team. Come out and get a layup!"

"West brought the ball to the frontcourt, a 'baby' fake, he tricked Harbaugh, Grant stepped forward to help the defense, West gave the ball to Kukoc in the corner, Kukoc made a three-pointer , beautiful, Kukoc hit another three-pointer!"

Although the Bulls are already on the rise, with Li Weisi and Kukoc hitting two three-pointers successively, the Warriors have already led the Bulls by 20 points at 12:8, and the point difference is getting bigger and bigger.

I have to say that the Warriors played really well at the beginning. Except for Li Weisi, the others also played well, which exhausted the Bulls' defense and fell into a dilemma.

Pippen dribbled the ball, looked at Jordan who was struggling with Rodman in the penalty area, hesitated, and finally looked away again.

Since the beginning of the game, Jordan has scored 8 points in just over half a quarter, which is equivalent to multiplying the scores of the rest of the Bulls by two.

Under such a situation, the Warriors' defense against Jordan is naturally to the point of exhaustion. At this time, as the Bulls' second in command, what he needs to do is to find offensive points other than Jordan to share the pressure on Jordan. .

After observing the situation on the field, Pippen quickly found a suitable attack point. He waved to the surroundings, signaling them to pull away, and then lobbed the ball to the inside, Sekali's hands.

As a rookie who just joined the team this year, Sekali's super high golf quotient helped him quickly integrate into the Bulls, and at the same time provided a strong boost for the Bulls' 72 wins.

But at the same time, it also made Sekali some sacrifices.

After coming to the Bulls this season, Sekali's scoring average has dropped to 12.1 points and 7.4 rebounds per game. Both points and rebounds are the lowest in his career except for his rookie season.

At this time, Sekali was only 31 years old, and the peak of his career had not yet passed. The reason for such a large data decline can only be said that the sacrifice he made was huge.

But this does not mean that he is incapable. In fact, his autonomous offensive ability has greatly enriched the Bulls' offensive system and made the triangle offense more varied.

This time, facing the Warriors' strict defense against Jordan, Pippen quickly thought that he could do something from the inside. In the previous series, Sekali also had some singles. Although not many, the effect was still good. of.

But this time, Pippen handed the ball to Seikali, hoping that he could create a little unexpected effect.

Sekali, who received the ball, leaned against Divac who was behind him with his back, confirmed Divac's defensive center of gravity, and then started dribbling singles.

Sekali, who has the nickname "Dancer" in Miami, has such a romantic nickname because of his iconic low-post turn technique.

Just like now, after testing Divac on the left twice in a row, Sekali immediately turned around, and at the same time his whole body leaned back, directly choosing a fadeaway jumper.

Because Divac was deceived by Seikali, his reaction was half a beat slow. When he rushed over, Seikali had already completed the shot, and the basketball was hollow into the net, 14:20.

Seikali's goal is more like telling everyone that Jordan is not the only Bulls!
Shortly after Seikali's goal, the Warriors were on the offensive end. Divac missed a mid-range shot, Rodman failed to fight for an offensive rebound, and after Pippen protected the rebound, he quickly launched a counterattack.

In the fast break, after attracting the defense, Pippen gave the ball to Grant on the wing. The latter took the ball and directly dunked with both hands, scoring another 2 points for the Bulls, 16:20.

In this way, after Jordan was targeted, the rest of the Bulls finally stood up one after another. Relying on their efforts, the Bulls continued to chase points, and the point difference began to narrow.

The Bulls' counterattack never stopped.
