Chapter 187 Five Years of Waiting!
Bruce sat in the office frowning, looking at the document in his hand, feeling depressed for a while!
As the final champion is about to be determined, the managers of some teams are waiting for the opportunity to move!
Now in front of Bruce are some messages in the alliance and some transactions that are about to be completed!
In this summer, a large number of players in the league have returned to free agency, which also gives managers more choices!
Among these free agents, the most famous is the final ownership of Hill, Duncan and McGrady.
If you add Eddie Jones, Jaylen Rose, Austin Croshire and others, this summer is really exciting for managers!
And now in front of Bruce is the willingness to trade submitted by some team managers.
Although these transactions are not bad in Bruce's opinion, but if they really want to achieve parity, they are not so good!
Just after the managers of each team were busy running around, the sixth game between the Lakers and the Pacers kicked off on June 6!
Bruce came to Wilkens' house early, and the two were invited to Los Angeles after the last game between the two teams!
"Hi, Bruce, great to see you!" Mrs. Wilkens greeted Bruce very enthusiastically when she saw Bruce standing next to the car!
"Hello, Mrs. Wilkens, me too!" Bruce said very politely, then took Wilkens' bag, and said with a smile: "Your body is still so vibrant, seeing you is like seeing you." Like a young man!"
Mrs. Wilkens suddenly showed a kind smile on her face, and said with a smile: "Bruce, you are still so cute!"
Wilkens looked at the two with a smile, looked at his wife, and patted her arm slowly: "Darren, you don't need to be polite with this guy!"
"Come on!" Mrs. Wilkens opened his hand with a smile, and then said, "Let's go, let's go, you don't have to worry about me!"
Bruce looked at the happy appearance of the two, and couldn't help but miss Charlize Theron for a while!
After receiving Wilkens, the two went straight to the airport. When they walked into the hotel where they were staying with a little tiredness, Bruce suddenly received a call from Stern!
"You still, Mr. David!" Bruce said with some doubts.
The joy on Stern's face can be seen from even a simple curl of his lips. After negotiating with Huaxia and discussing some matters, the NBA and Huaxia have reached a series of cooperation contracts.
"Bruce, you are simply a messenger sent by God!" Stern thought of the little request from the Director of the Basketball Association when he signed the final agreement with Huaxia, and finally couldn't help but smile brightly on his face!
"Hehe, Mr. David, you still like to joke so much!" Bruce put the jacket he took off on the bed, with a trace of disdain on the corner of his mouth, and said with a smile, "Do you have any good news to tell me?"
"Of course, this big news must be told to you as soon as possible!" Stern happily picked up the red wine on the table, drank it in one gulp, and breathed a sigh of relief: "We have reached an agreement with Huaxia. A deeper level of strategic cooperation, in which your identity has played a very important role in this negotiation, so, after our discussion, which mysterious team will the Warriors officially land with a certain team in the preseason next season? country!!"
"Ha!!" Bruce was stunned there with surprise on his face, thinking that it could bring him unexpected benefits, he felt excited: "Really??"
"Hahaha! Little guy, do you think it's fake?" Stern said with a laugh as if he could see Bruce's disbelief mixed with surprise.
"Oh, God, this is so exciting!" Bruce received Stern's confirmation, and his heart was so excited that he almost jumped up!
"Little guy, I will help you arrange a team that surprises you as soon as possible!" Stern looked at the documents on the table, with a playful and excited expression flashing across his face, and said word by word.
After finishing the phone call with Stern, Bruce jumped onto the soft big bed excitedly as soon as he hung up the phone, waved his arms vigorously a few times, and shouted excitedly: "My motherland, my motherland! I'm going back!!"
At 7 o'clock in the evening, as a large number of fans poured into the Staples Arena, a game that attracted everyone's attention was about to be held here!
Wilkens looked suspiciously at Bruce, who was still grinning with a stiff expression on his face, and asked curiously, "Bruce, did you encounter something very happy?"
"Uh...is it so obvious?" Bruce smiled with difficulty, rubbed his stiff cheeks with his right hand, touched his nose in embarrassment after seeing Wilkens nodding, and then with a hint of excitement, He said mysteriously: "This is a very good thing, and you will know it when the time comes!"
"A big good thing??" Wilkens looked at Bruce's exaggerated gestures with his hands, and said more and more curiously.
"Of course, it's time for us to enter the arena!" Bruce obviously didn't want to tell Wilkens this exciting news right now. He pointed to the auditorium that was about to be full, and walked to the first row of seats first!
At this time, the Staples Center has already
Covered in pieces of purple and gold, it is even more difficult to see Pacers fans in the auditorium.
"Those Pacers fans are probably so angry that they want to smash the gate of the Staples Arena!" Thinking of the huge number of Pacers fans outside the stadium who have no tickets and can only stand angrily outside the arena, Bruce couldn't help but Said with emotion.
"Son, do you still remember whose chassis is here?" Wilkens said with a smile.
At the stall where the two were talking, the players of the two teams gradually walked out of the player tunnel amidst the loud cheers of the fans!
"Will it be a perfect performance tonight?" Kenny Smith asked Barkley next to him with great anticipation. Since Barkley entered TNT, the two have become a tacit understanding with witty words under the intentional arrangement of the TV station. partner.
"Are you talking about the big guy who is gaining weight every year?" Barkley curled his lips pretending to be disdainful, glanced at O'Neill who was baring his teeth at him on the court, and waved his hand like a fly: " Even if this guy wins this year's championship, he's still the big fat guy who was thrown by me!!"
Hearing Barkley's commentary, everyone burst into laughter, which also brought some relief to this somewhat dignified game!
Bruce looked at the stinky-faced Buckley amusedly, the outspoken guy in his previous life gradually overlapped with the current him!
"Gentlemen and ladies, welcome to this great arena, we have prepared champagne and fireworks, how about you????"
"boom!!"
Under the DJ's contagious shouting, loud cheers suddenly erupted in the arena, as if the Lakers had won another championship after 12 years, cheering wildly!
When O'Neal and Kobe walked to the court one after another, the cheers of the fans in the audience reached the highest decibel in an instant, and everyone shouted with all their strength.
Seeing the crazy actions of the fans in the arena, Bruce couldn't help being moved!
"This is a team that carries history!" Wilkens looked enviously at the fans around him shouting, which reminded him of the brilliant championship team!
The first quarter gradually kicked off with O'Neill and Schmitz's jump ball.
Throughout the first quarter, the Pacers frantically attacked the Lakers' defense like a real fighter.
And in this game, Jaylen Rose's performance and Mark Jackson's experienced experience played a vital role!
Only in the first quarter, the Pacers withstood the Lakers' counterattacks again and again with 26:24.
When the two teams started the second quarter, the fans in the audience couldn't help clamoring a little anxiously!
"The Lakers are obviously not as prepared as the Pacers in this game. They are a bit awkward on both ends of the offense and defense, especially Kobe, he is simply a blacksmith!" Barkley rigorously analyzed the Lakers. The problem.
Since the start of this game, Kobe has smashed the basketball to the basket in all directions time and time again, so that under his crazy shots, he has gained very little!
In the second quarter, if it weren't for veteran Ron Harper and Horry who came off the bench to continue their lives again and again, I am afraid that the Lakers with only one O'Neal will lose this championship battle at their home court!
At the end of the second quarter, although the Lakers went all out with the efforts of O'Neal and the others, they finally suffered from Dale Davis's super high shooting percentage and the sudden outbreak of Jaylen Rose.
After the Lakers trailed the Pacers by two points in the first quarter, the Pacers still led them with a score of 30:29 in this quarter.
When all the Lakers players walked towards the player tunnel with solemn faces, the fans in the audience were not frustrated by their performance, but encouraged and cheered for them with their highest decibels!
"The Lakers have always been inferior to the Pacers in shooting percentage. Despite Shaquille's dominant performance, other players still haven't been able to find their touch!" Wilkens analyzed extremely well.
At the end of halftime, only O'Neal and Glenn Rice in the main lineup of the Lakers had a shooting rate of more than 50%, and the rest of the players seemed a bit sluggish.
When the two teams returned to the stadium, after the third quarter, the home fans completely lost the desire to cheer, and their expressions gradually changed from excitement to disappointment!
The Lakers still trailed the Pacers by two points in this quarter, and the two teams scored 28:26 throughout the quarter.
After three quarters, the Pacers still lead the Lakers by five points with a score of 84:79.
I don't know if it was Phil Jackson's arrangement and the desire for the championship that made the Lakers burst out with huge energy!
Throughout the fourth quarter, the Lakers, led by O'Neal and the recovering Kobe, finally won the game with a score of 37:27 and won the championship of the 99-00 season!
When Kobe finally ran out of only five seconds, all the fans stood up excitedly, jumping, jumping and hugging excitedly!
When the whistle sounded for the end of the game, the excited O'Neal hugged the excited and jumping Kobe in his arms, and all the Lakers players ran towards them.
Bruce looked at the excited Lakers players on the court, against the background of the fireworks that suddenly exploded in the audience, this classic scene was deeply engraved in his mind!
"Wait for me!" Bruce said slowly, looking at the extremely excited Lakers players and the excited fans around him, with a firm expression on his face!
It feels so "cool" to type with one hand!
The cold got worse. In order not to cause serious consequences in the future, the old wolf was typing while administering an IV!
The weather is changeable, friends must take care of their bodies.
Well, let’s not be pretentious anymore. Tomorrow, I may ask for leave for a whole morning to get an IV drip. Tomorrow will see if the situation will change three times. Of course, even if the old wolf operates with one hand for three hours like today, please rest assured. The guaranteed bottom promise will never change!
Can't do anything today, sorry!
