"But fortunately, my teammates are pretty reliable!"

Gary Payton passed the ball to Kemp, who had already scored 13 points in these two quarters.

After receiving the ball, Kemp came to the left wing, ready to play singles against Hanamichi.

"You can't defend me!"

The taciturn [Rain Man] held back for a long time and uttered the first "trash talk" to help the game in this game!

Let's call it trash talk, Gary Payton patted his head speechlessly, it's better not to say anything about this game!

And Hanamichi was also slightly stunned:

"Isn't this guy so simple?"

Seeing Hanamichi stunned, Kemp quickly turned around to face the basket and prepared to use his crossover step to break through.

But Hanamichi was well prepared, after all, Hanamichi basically knew everything Kemp knew.

While Hanamichi retreated to follow Sean Kemp who was holding the ball into the penalty area, he also used his body to push Kemp towards the baseline.

To be honest, Hanamichi is slightly taller and heavier than Kemp, especially in terms of lower limb strength. The energetic Hanamichi said that he only surpassed his "good buddy" ~ the "black and hard" [Shark]. Other than that, he was either a chicken or a dog, or he could force a 50-50 match!

While Kemp was dribbling, he used his body to contact from the side and successfully forced Kemp, who was in the rhythm of a three-step layup, to the baseline.

And Kemp had no chance to shoot until he reached the baseline for a three-step layup, not to mention that there was no player to respond at that position.

The ball was just in Kemp's arms!

"Beep!"

The linesman was not blind. At this time, the "Eight Steps of the Dragon" was not popular. He decisively called a traveling call for Kemp.

Hua Dao returned the simple smile that Kemp had shown at the beginning of the game, and said meaningfully:

"My friend, I have you covered!"

After that, Hua Dao retreated to the midline and said to Gary Payton:

"O'Neal's grandmother can defend your core player!"

"It feels good, it feels good!"

After confronting [The Crooked God of War] twice, Hua Dao finally breathed a sigh of relief.

And in the future, whenever he confronted Gary Payton, Hua Dao would always use [O'Neal's grandmother].

Gary Payton: "Your defense is terrible!"

Huamichi: "O'Neal's grandmother said your defense is even worse!"

Gary Payton: "Red-haired boy, I will break through you from here!"

Huamichi: "O'Neal's grandmother said that passing that crooked glove is like crossing the road in the morning!"

Gary Payton: "Boy, if you have the ability, you can fight one-on-one. Why do you always bring O'Neal's grandmother with you?"

Huamichi: "O'Neal's grandmother will fight you one-on-one. I'm a 214cm power forward!"

Gary Payton: "..."

The second quarter ended with a 50:40 lead for the Raptors, who entered the second half with a 10-point lead.

In the second half of the game, Huamichi and Kemp became supporting roles on the court.

[Rain Man] and the Little Overlord restrained each other, and the offense of the Raptors and the Supersonics was biased towards the outside line.

After the fierce first half, the players and coaches of both sides were familiar with each other's inside attack and defense strength. You know my strengths and weaknesses, and I know your strengths and weaknesses. No one wants to shoot at the other for nothing!

So each side strengthened its outside attack, and in this regard, we really say that the "glove" Payton, who is famous for his defense and organization, is no match for the "scalpel" Doug Christie.

There is a kind of player who can gradually develop a good touch, but unfortunately, the one who developed this hot touch in this game was not Gary Payton, who was a spitting trash talk with Hanamichi, but another defensive pioneer on the court~ Doug Christie.

At the last 4 minutes and 30 seconds of the fourth quarter, Doug Christie had already hit his sixth three-pointer of the game.

The Raptors also led the Supersonics by 21 points with 98:77, and all the main players of the Supersonics have not been replaced.

Supersonics head coach George Karl quickly called a timeout, interrupting Doug Christie's touch while arranging the final offensive and defensive tactics.

As a shooting guard, he now hates three-point players just like the coach in San Antonio!

He has made up his mind that if the next attack and defense fail, he will give up this game and replace the team's main players in advance. After all, this is just an ordinary game among 82 games.

"It's just that the press conference after the game is not so easy!"

The next attack of the Supersonics was given to Kemp. [Rain Man] played stably in this game and scored 19 points. Although he also let the red-haired kid on the opposite side score the same 19 points, at least there is no more reliable person in the Supersonics team than him.The scoring point.

The timeout ended and the game restarted.

The Sonics' outside players kept running and interspersing, including Kemp, who also joined the running team. Only Jim McIlvaine took Oakley for a walk on the left wing outside the penalty area.

This gave the Raptors a headache except for Oakley who was watching the show. After all, their team's tactics rarely guarded large-scale off-ball running.

The Raptors players were already accustomed to daily man-to-man and assist defense, and the sudden change of the Sonics caught the Raptors off guard.

Kemp finally got an open opportunity while running, and the ball just passed from Payton to him.

Kemp did not hesitate and made an open mid-range shot.

But at this moment, Hanamichi, who was out of position, took three steps and two steps, rushed to Kemp's side with extremely amazing physical fitness, used the inertia of running to fly up and stretched out his hand to block the shot!

"I admit that I had a gamble, and I bet that Kemp would not pass the ball, and it was not a fake move!"

"Fortunately, I bet right!"

At the press conference after the game, when asked by reporters what he thought about blocking Rain Man, Hanamichi blurted out the above answer without hesitation.

The fact is that Hanamichi, who won the gamble, gave a huge block to Rain Man, who was at the top of the block list, in the last quarter of the game, shocking the whole audience.

The commentator on the scene joked:

"The ceiling of the Raptors' home court may have to be renovated soon!"

"Because he really couldn't stand the enthusiastic roar of the fans on the scene!"

109:95, the Raptors defeated the Supersonics, and continued to use the 9-game winning streak since the start of the season to severely slap most of the media and some commentators who were not optimistic about their team.

Hanachi scored 20 points, 14 rebounds, 6 assists and 3 blocks, but the best player of the game was given to Doug Christie.

34 points, 7 rebounds, 4 assists, 3 steals, 6 free throws, 66% true shooting rate.

[Scalpel] is the best commendation for him. Not only does he have sharp passes to cut through the enemy lineup, but he can also give the enemy a fatal blow at the critical moment!

After this game, ESPN also quickly adjusted the Raptors' championship rate, putting it on the same level as the Jazz, Mosaic and Pacers. Of course, it is still a level away from the Chicago Bulls, another Eastern team that also won 9 consecutive games.

Unless the Raptors can defeat the Bulls head-on on December 8.

However, after all, the Raptors, who lack the core of the outside line, can head-on beat the Western Conference champion Supersonics last season, which itself has already explained some problems, so it is inevitable to raise the championship rate. This is ESPN, a fence-sitter, leaning to both sides!
