Chapter 172 "The Zhang Family"! !
Chapter 172 "Going Home"! !
On May 5th, Bruce followed the players in a relaxed mood and sat on the bus to the home of the Lakers, Staples Arena!
Although this game is very critical for the Warriors, their expressions look pretty good.
"Boss, do you think we will win the Lakers like last time?" Nowitzki asked Bruce with some hope!
"Why not?" Bruce looked at the unwilling Nowitzki with a smile. For him, it is best to win this game. If he loses, he can only face the reality and focus on the next season. .
Hearing the two's answer, the other players all showed eager looks. For them, playing against the strongest team in the league made them clearly feel the strength of the strong team, and it also made them respect their own. Insufficient has a more intuitive feeling!
Since the start of the series with the Lakers, all the players of the Warriors feel that they have improved a lot, at least in terms of execution and concentration.
Although this game has a great possibility to make them prepare for a vacation, they are not reconciled to it as young people!
The bus slowly drove into the Staples Arena. When Bruce followed the players off the bus, a large number of media reporters suddenly surrounded them!
"Mr. Bruce, are you ready to start this summer?"
"Vince, what do you think of the Maldives?"
"Dirk, are you going back to Germany after the game?"
"Lenny, do you have any vision for next season??"
Questions were sharply thrown to the faces of everyone in the Warriors who looked a little unhappy, and everyone was secretly annoyed by these questions.
"Sorry, we just want to finish this game well. As for other things, I'm sorry I can't do anything!" Bruce pushed away the reporters in front of him with a serious expression, and other players followed behind him to the arena. go!
"Mr. Bruce, would you choose to rebuild???"
The moment Bruce and the others were about to enter the arena, a sexy blond beauty suddenly yelled out!
Bruce turned his head quickly in a very bad mood, looked at the chick who thought he was sexy and sultry, and said coldly: "No, we have completed the team building plan!!"
Bruce also has his helplessness in saying this, just like all the managers in the league, he can't tell them the truth in front of the media, and he doesn't want to completely blow the confidence of the players because of his words!
Walking into the arena, everyone walked to the visiting team's locker room in silence.
The players slowly walked into the locker room. Bruce looked at these unhappy guys and smiled helplessly: "Guys, haven't you seen enough of these nasty guys in this league?"
"They're just a bunch of shameless bedbugs. You don't need to pay attention to their harassment. If you can, you can even get rid of these guys with just one finger!" Bruce exaggeratedly stretched out his thumbs, then squatted down, sternly rolling on the floor!
Seeing Bruce's actions, the players have gotten used to this guy's mischief. Although they are still in a bad mood, after this, they are still a lot relieved!
In the NBA or other business leagues, if it goes according to what Bruce said, then no matter which team it is, it will be the sharpest criticism from these guys, and some will even take them to court for grandstanding.
The players, who were in a slightly better mood, glanced at each other, and then silently walked to their closets and changed their clothes!
Bruce looked at these players quietly, and seemed to see a trace of unyielding fighting spirit in them!
The auditorium at the Staples Arena tonight was exceptionally lively, not to mention accounting for most of the fans wearing Lakers jerseys, but in the auditorium behind the Warriors, a large group of fans wearing Warriors jerseys Kudos to them with gratitude from Bruce!
"Gentlemen and ladies, welcome to the Staples Arena!" Kenny Smith spoke very fast, glanced at the serious Rick Barry beside him, and said with a smile: "Tonight's Staples is really buzzing!"
"Yes, I didn't expect the Warriors fans to be so lovely. I am very glad that I have spent most of my career here. There are the best and cutest guys in the league!" Rick Barry A flash of reminiscence flashed across his face, seeing Warriors fans interspersed among a large group of Lakers fans in the arena, he felt a burst of pride in his heart!
"Tonight's game is a highlight!" Kenny Smith understood Barry's mood very well at the moment, looked at the information in his hand, and said seriously: "The Warriors brought us a great surprise, but the Lakers did not. They are still one of the strongest teams in the league, and the battle between them has attracted the attention of a large number of fans and spectators, and this game will definitely become one of the most exciting in this series!"
There was a huge uproar in the Staples Center. If you listen carefully, you will find that this is the debate between the fans of the two teams!
"Hey, man, I think the Warriors have changed a lot this year, which has brought us a great surprise. Didn't the Lakers fail at our hands?"
"Come on, the Lakers are the most powerful team in the world, and the only loss in that game was only that Shaquille and the others chose to rest, it was careless!"
A series of debates sounded around Bruce, as if every fan belonging to the two teams wanted to gain the upper hand in the debate of the opposing fans!
Bruce smiled wryly and looked back at the blushing and thick-necked fans of both sides arguing with each other, shook his head, and sighed helplessly: "Oh, that's it!"
When all the fans walked into the auditorium, the DJ of the Lakers suddenly shouted loudly!
"Gentlemen and ladies, please use your applause and cheers to cheer for our great Lakers!!"
As soon as the DJ finished speaking, there was a huge burst of applause and wanton cheers immediately, and the entire arena was surrounded by this huge sound wave!
At both ends of the court, Lakers players and Warriors players walked into the arena one after another.
However, the expressions of the players on both sides are different. The expressions of the Lakers are extremely solemn, while the expressions of the Warriors are much better!
After the players from the two teams finished warming up, under the call of the referee, O'Neal and Nowitzki walked towards the center line again!
After the last contest, the Warriors' inside line was not so vulnerable under the guard of Wallace and Foyle. On the contrary, they performed very well in defense against O'Neal!
The two looked at each other, looked at each other's expressions, and suddenly smiled and bumped their respective fists!
"Snapped!"
While the referee threw the basketball into the air, O'Neal still directly pointed the basketball in the direction of his teammates with his good bounce and explosive power!
Fisher grabbed the ball and ran to the frontcourt!
"The Lakers tonight don't seem to be as casual as they were in the previous games. They seem to work very hard on defense!" Kenny Smith glanced at the timing card at the end of the halftime, and was extremely impressed by the Lakers' defense in the first half. Appreciate!
Throughout the first half, the players of the two teams showed their greatest ability and enthusiasm, and performed very well on both ends of the offense and defense!
Although the Warriors players have performed very well, but their lack of experience and skills, they still have some helplessness and returned to the locker room with a gap of 6 points!
Bruce sat in the locker room early, watched the players come in one after another, and said with a smile: "Guys, I'm proud of you!"
Carter and the others looked at Bruce indifferently. Each of them felt their own shortcomings in this game, and when they heard Bruce's words, they also smiled knowingly after thinking about it!
Regardless of the final outcome of this game, Carter and the others have made great progress!
Compared with the progress of the players, the Warriors have achieved great success this season!
From a team hovering at the bottom of the league to a team that can cause huge problems for the best teams in the league, they got there in just two seasons, as all the fans say In that way, it is such a team that will bring them joy and hope!
During the half-time break, the big screen in the stadium replayed some highlights from the previous three games between the Lakers and the Warriors. Everyone who saw this scene was taken aback.
Are the Lakers so confident?
When the replays of these highlights were over, the screen was shockingly marked with "Warriors, welcome back!!!"
Everyone was shocked, is this a respect for the Warriors? ? ?
When Bruce learned what happened in the midfield, he thought about it for a while, and then when he returned to the court, he looked gratefully at the box on the second floor of the Staples Arena!
Buss looked at Bruce who was nodding in his direction with a smile on his face. Although this approach would be questioned by fans, he just wanted to use an alternative way to pay tribute to the Warriors and Bruce!
"Jerry, is there any point in doing this?" West looked at Bass who didn't care about it in great surprise. In his opinion, this kind of practice has never happened in history, but now it is happening in this series. Saili qualified, which made him very shocked by his approach!
"Are you surprised?" Bass waved his hand in Bruce's direction with a smile, then walked back to his seat, and said casually, "Old man, don't you think this young man has a shadow of me back then?"
"Eh??" West stared blankly at Bass, who should have done so. It was hard for him to understand what the other party was thinking at this time!
Just like the slogan on the big screen, the Warriors didn't get a chance in the next half of the game. When the final score was fixed at 100:93, Bruce entered the Warriors for the first time in the playoffs. It ends perfectly!
The first!
The summer of 2000 is about to enter the embarrassing time of the old wolf, and there are many unexpected and ruthless transactions, so stay tuned!
