Chapter 151 Bruce's Confession
Chapter 151 Bruce's Confession
On the court, the sound of body collisions sounded from time to time between the players of the two teams. From these sounds, it is not difficult to judge the intensity of the game!
Entering February from the league, every team is fully prepared for the playoffs!
They will go all out to win the game in every game, and with the end of the All-Star Game, the bottom-ranked teams are gradually looking forward to this summer's draft and the signing of free agents!
On the court, Carter intercepted Stoudemire's pass and rushed to the front court extremely fast!
The fans in the arena stood up again, their excitement and catharsis brewing in their hearts.
The moment Carter stepped into the free throw line, he suddenly took two big strides, and then raised his arms high. Under the fiery gaze of the fans, he was one step outside the penalty area, and suddenly jumped up!
"boom!!"
Carter stretched his posture and completed a 360-degree dunk with both hands, as if he was used to the feeling of flying. After landing on the floor, Carter subconsciously waved his hands up and down!
"Perfect, Vince's dunk is so perfect!!" Rick Barry enjoyed looking up at the replay on the big screen above the court, and looked happily at Carter who had already walked back to the rest area!
After a halftime fight, with Carter's dunk before halftime, the Warriors temporarily fell behind the Trail Blazers by 2 points.
Throughout the half, the Warriors gradually revealed their advantages. They used crazy running and non-stop passing, which made the veterans of the Blazers physically overwhelmed!
Although relying on their own advantages, the Warriors have been clinging to the score of the Trail Blazers, but they are still inferior to the opponent in experience by more than a little bit!
"Children, your performance is right for the fans in the ballpark who are cheering for you. They have seen our growth and progress!" Wilkens still looked at his disciple with a smile, and handed the tactics board to him Carlesimo, who was next to him, looked at everyone replenishing food and water, looked at Bruce who was sitting quietly in the corner, and said with emotion: "You have a very great boss!"
"Uh..." Bruce looked at Wilkens with some surprise. Although he had said this before, he still felt a little surprised when he said it in front of so many players.
"Of course, Mr. Bruce is a generous guy!" Nowitzki enjoyed a small piece of steak, wiped his mouth, and smiled at Bruce!
"Yes, with Bruce bringing us so many helpers, we will use our greatest energy to bring the glory of the Warriors back into the eyes of the league and the media!" Carter, who has become the core of the Warriors, watched gratefully. Glancing at Bruce, he said firmly.
The players seemed to be competing to show their positions, and issued military orders one by one!
"Well, guys, if you think I'm a good boss, then I really need you to lead this new Warriors team to the top!" Bruce looked at the players with scorching eyes, paused, and said a little bit unbearably : "Although some of you may leave here at some point, please remember that this will always be your home, and you are always welcome to come back!!"
The players looked at their boss unexpectedly. Although his words seemed a bit cruel, seeing the sincere expression on his face, they didn't feel disgusted at all. Instead, they felt that he was a very frank person.
"Sorry, the flow of players is one of the ways to improve the strength of the team, I hope you can understand!" Bruce solemnly bowed to all the players, he had to say this, and he had to do it!
The essence of NBA is "transaction", like a huge supermarket, there is joy, disappointment or anger!
However, no player likes the feeling of being "sold". They are all living lives with flesh and blood, not cold commodities in the market! !
"Thank you for your confession!" Dell Curry looked at Bruce thoughtfully. He, who had been traded many times, was no longer angry or complained for so many years.
The other players looked at Bruce with mixed expressions. Although his confession did not arouse their disgust, after all, his words would still arouse the players' complicated moods and thoughts!
"Sorry, guys!" Bruce looked apologetically at the players with complicated expressions, and suddenly his expression became serious, and he said firmly: "No player will leave here this season, I promise!!"
Bruce's words were injected into the players' bodies like a shot in the arm. Although they will leave here next season or a certain year in the future, this is not important anymore!
"I like it here, I don't want to leave here!" Nowitzki, who had been sitting near the corner, said suddenly.
Since coming to this vibrant team, Nowitzki, who has experienced many unpleasant things, has felt the fun and healthy competition among young people!
He has learned a lot of useful things here, defense, tactics, offense, he feels his own improvement in every skill!
Bruce looked at Nowitzki gratefully. Although he never thought of trading him, a player still needs to express his opinion now!
Having said this, Bruce is also considering a possible deal this summer. He has had enough of Starks' heart-wrenching feeling, and he doesn't want to have this bad feeling again and again!
The NBA is a huge business field, no one does not like the joining of superstars, and no one will remain the same without changing!
As a Chinese, Bruce may be a little too emotional, he is not as cold-blooded and ruthless as other team managers, he can't do it!
Silence quietly spread throughout the locker room, every player fell into thinking!
Whether they want the accolade or a ton of money, this is the moment everyone is asking themselves!
"Can you tell us what the goal of the Warriors is?" Ben Wallace took a deep breath and stared at Bruce who looked a little dignified!
"Championship, a lot of championships!" Bruce said without hesitation, the heat on his face instantly made him excited!
Everyone looked at Bruce in a daze, and no one suspected the falsehood of his words.
Wilkens looked at Bruce in surprise. He didn't understand why Bruce said such a thing suddenly, and he didn't understand why Bruce said it in front of so many people!
If Wilkens understands China and the character of this nation, he will definitely understand Bruce's mood now!
Not all bosses in the NBA come for the trophy that symbolizes the highest, and there are even some bosses who use it as a tool to make money!
Like the owner of the Clippers, Sterling, in order to earn enough money, he can be so stingy that even Elgin Baylor's salary and staff tips will be deducted or even owed.
Bruce looked at the players quietly, he already had some thoughts in his heart!
When the Warriors and Trail Blazers returned to the court, after the initial chaos, the Warriors gradually returned to being a competitive team in the first half!
Obviously, after some thinking, the players have found their own answers.
In the third quarter, both teams played tough defenses. In just one quarter, the two teams combined had as many as 10 fouls.
Bruce looked forward to the Warriors players who were still running non-stop on the court, and glanced at the 80:79 score on the scoreboard. He couldn't help being proud of these players!
Who would have thought that the Warriors would play this kind of game against the Trail Blazers, who are the favorites for the championship?
The fourth quarter has just begun, and the two teams have entered a decisive battle!
Cassel took the ball and slowly advanced to the frontcourt, with a flash of exhaustion on his face, and then handed the ball to Carter who was standing on the right three-point line!
The rest of the players seemed to be used to it. While Carter was holding the ball, they ran without stopping. Every player kept running and looking for opportunities under Wilkens' tactical arrangement!
When Nowitzki blocked Pippen's defense for the passing Marshall, Carter, who had already run to the three-point line in the left corner, passed the ball without the slightest hesitation!
"Shh!"
Standing in a high position, Marshall opened his hand and threw the basketball. This is the tactical purpose of the Warriors!
During Wilkens' gradual exploration, after considering the characteristics and physical advantages of the players, he used pick-and-rolls, air cuts, and reverse runs. These small tactics developed a tactical system for the Warriors based on small-ball tactics. !
On both offensive and defensive ends, he needs players to maintain their focus and execution ability at all times. If one player slacks off, this tactic will immediately turn into a slightly slower positional battle!
And this is the genius of Wilkens!
With Marshall's successful mid-range shot, the Warriors in turn led the Trail Blazers by one point!
Dunleavy looked solemnly at the seemingly indefatigable Warriors players on the court. Originally, he was planning to rely on the personal ability of the team's superstar to win the game quickly, but until now, although Pippen and the others have shown great energy one after another. However, under the personal training of Wilkens and Carlesimo, the Warriors' defense is not inferior to that of the Eagles back then. On the contrary, due to the young players, the defense is even better!
When the two teams reached 8 minutes into the fourth quarter, the Warriors still firmly held the lead by one point and returned to the court during Dunleavy's timeout!
Wilkens looked at the players with satisfaction, this is what he wanted!
"Eric (Dampier), you need to be more aggressive in defense. Arvidas (Sabonis) is obviously exhausted, so your strength and stamina will become your advantage!" Wilkens looked at Dampier who was panting slightly, and said slowly.
"understand!"
When the two teams re-emerged, there were some changes in the lineups!
The Trail Blazers sent all the main players at the start of the game, but the Warriors' lineup did not have the slightest meaning of a decisive battle. The players Wilkens sent on the field, except for Dampier, Carter and Cassel, the other two individuals The positions are all assigned to Caffey and Posey who are better defensively.
Posey gained the trust of Wilkens in just half a season with his mad dog defense. Although he is not as stable as Marshall in offense, now is the time to defend!
Sure enough, the Blazers unleashed their greatest attack power after their debut, and Rasheed Wallace who calmed down was a very terrifying existence.
He used a mid-range shot and an explosive alley-oop to increase the score of the two teams to 5 points, and the Warriors seemed a little immature.
Of the players on the field, only Kafei and Cassel have experience in the playoffs, and the current decisive moment is just as intense as the playoffs!
With the passage of time, the inadequacy and immaturity of the Warriors gradually emerged. Although Wilkens replaced all the main players, the Blazers, who had gradually recovered their touch, never gave them a chance to turn around!
When the game finally ended at 108:102, the fans in the audience still gave warm applause to the Warriors players without the slightest discouragement!
"Although we lost the game, the competitiveness of these guys really made this Trail Blazers dare not relax for a moment. We have seen the future and hope. I believe that this Warriors team will definitely bring more fans to the team." Exciting and surprising!" Rick Barry smiled and looked at the Warriors players who were not at all depressed, and he saw revival and hope in them!
The third one!
According to the notice, the day after tomorrow at the latest, the playoffs will begin!
Thanks to the votes of several friends, Lao Lang will still do his best to maintain the rhythm of the third watch until the day when the book is finished! !
