Chapter 591 Against the Lakers
In the Rockefeller Center, I don't know if it's because the All-Stars haven't seen the home team for too long, but before tonight's game, a large number of fans sat in their seats early!
Seeing that the home fans are so hot, even though Bruce has gotten used to the fact that the arena is almost full, he is still very happy and excited!
"Hey, Jerry, do you think our home court is the best in the league?" Bruce turned to West with a smile on his face and said, the anticipation in his eyes really made West laugh!
"Well, sir, our home stadium is indeed the best in this league!" West shrugged with a smile on his face, and then continued: "Of course, in this league, except for the top attendance rate in Los Angeles and New York, we'll be the undisputed third!"
"Hehe, I think when we create our own dynasty, our attendance rate will shock everyone."
This is Bruce's confidence, which comes from his confidence in the fans!
Afterwards, as players from both sides walked out of the player tunnel one after another, as the host Warriors, they really received the warmest cheers and applause from the fans who had endured for almost a whole week and had no games to watch!
"Wow, man, I really enjoy the home court here, look at these cute guys!" Payton turned his head excitedly and said to Malone behind him, obviously enjoying the cheers from the fans around him!
"Haha, who made this place become the team they are looking forward to again?" Malone laughed twice, thinking of the situation after the Warriors won the championship last year, he secretly sighed, and then he looked yearning. The rest area is gone!
"We will win the championship!" Peyton stared at Malone who was full of fighting spirit, tightly clenched his right hand, and said secretly firmly!
In this season, I don’t know if the Lakers only ranked third in the western part of the regular season because of the problems between O’Neal and Kobe. Their feeling in the game also made some people worry. !
In this game, basically everyone is optimistic that the Warriors can win the final victory, after all, they have a lot of stars and a strong bench lineup!
"Welcome everyone to this excellent arena. I am your old friend Kenny Smith!" Kenny Smith said with a smile on his face and spoke very quickly. His opening remarks.
"I'm Charles Barkley!"
And Barkley, who was sitting next to him, quickly responded to him in a very good mood. After all, the two are old partners!
"About tonight's game, as one of the stars of the Warriors, Charles, in what way do you think they will teach this team with aristocratic blood?" Kenny Smith said in a joking tone , turned around and asked Barkley playfully!
"Hehe, for this game, I don't think the Lakers, who have already had some problems, can win. Even if they have Phil, an excellent coach in the league, I don't think they can win!" Barkley said with a look on his face. Said slowly and confidently, then he looked directly at the rest area of the Warriors!
In the rest area, Wilkens looked at his players with a smile. Thinking of the good state they showed in the training hall before, he was indescribably happy!
Because they played back-to-back too frequently before, the physical strength of Duncan and others has been greatly tested, especially the veteran combination of Malone and Payton. In order to reduce their injuries, in back-to-back games , Wilkens directly arranged for them to play only one game each time!
Now, judging from the previous training, both Malone and Payton's bodies are very healthy and full of vitality, which has achieved Wilkens' original goal!
"Okay, kids, next I hope you can have a wonderful game with the Lakers, after all, it will start to impact the playoffs now!" Wilkens said to the players with a smile on his face , after seeing them nodding their heads one after another, they immediately read the names of the players who played in this game!
On the side of the Lakers, Phil Jackson quickly explained the tactics and some things that need attention to the players!
"drop!!"
After that, as the whistle sounded on the court to start the game, the main players of the two teams walked towards the court one after another!
After the Lakers' small troubles in the summer, their arrangement in the main lineup did not seem too surprising!
The starting center is still Shaquille O'Neal, the power forward is Entanislav Medvedenko, who is gradually being put into the starting lineup, and the small forward is still the curly-haired Rick Fox. The guard is still Kobe Bryant who is in his own damn lawsuit, and the point guard is Derek Fisher who has experienced the skills challenge before!
The Warriors are still their very stable lineup, and there is no replacement of personnel. After all, their lineup has gained enough honors and tests of water and fire!
On the court, Duncan and O'Neal walked to the center line indifferently.
"Hey, Tim, I will find a way to blow you up in this game!!" O'Neill punched Duncan with a smile on his face, and said in a very serious tone!
"Hehe, Shaquille, if I were you, I would definitely watch out for my ass!" Duncan said pointedly, and then even after the referee spoke, he slowly raised his right hand, ready to jump ball!
"Okay, gentlemen, that's all that needs to be paid attention to. Let's start the game!" The referee slowly raised the basketball in his right hand. After seeing Duncan and O'Neal nodding respectively, he immediately moved The basketball was thrown into the air!
"boom!!"
With a muffled sound, even though O'Neal was too big, he still easily took the ball over Duncan's head for the Lakers. After all, his bounce is not a vegetarian!
As the basketball quickly flew to Kobe's position, I saw him take two steps very quickly under the close follow of Gerald Wallace. After catching the basketball, he ran directly to the frontcourt !
"It seems that Kobe has not been too affected by the lawsuit, and his condition looks really good!" Kenny Smith watched Kobe moving around on the court, and was very satisfied with his condition!
"Hehe, once this guy stands on the court, he will remind me of Michael who retired before. Their personalities are so similar!" Barkley said with a little emotion, and then saw Kobe jumping a little on the court. , and directly scored two points with a backward shot, he immediately said: "His movements are really smooth!"
"Yeah, if he can improve his shooting percentage, I think his future will truly become No. 1 in the league!" Kenny Smith said slowly with anticipation!
On the court, after Kobe took the lead to score two points for the Lakers, the Warriors responded to Dirk Nowitzki's shots!
When the two sides played back and forth until the 8th minute of the first quarter, during a timeout, the two sides replaced their substitute lineups respectively!
"Guys, let's teach these guys a lesson!" Peyton said excitedly to the rest of the crowd. The previous back-to-back breaks obviously made this guy hold back for a long time!
"Of course, I think they must be impatiently ready to be ravaged by us!"
Ginobili, who has been more active recently, after hearing what Payton said, he responded excitedly, and then several people walked towards the court with high spirits!
After these 8 minutes of confrontation, the scores of the Warriors and the Lakers have always maintained a tie!
Now, when the two sides replaced their respective substitutes, the Warriors' advantage obviously made the Lakers a little uncomfortable and depressed!
In the last 4 minutes of the first quarter, Ginobili and Malone both exploded with powerful attacking power, especially Ginobili, who is known for his weird offense, achieved a shocking score in these 4 minutes alone. 10 points!
"Oh, God, Manu tonight is simply irresistible!!" Kenny Smith and Barkley exhaled in surprise. They were obviously shocked by Ginobili's performance!
"drop!!"
When this section of the game ended, Ginobili was really cheered by all the fans and teammates, especially Duncan and others. They all expressed their excitement with manly chest bumps!
"Hey man, you are so cool!!!"
"Hahaha, you are omnipotent!"
And Bruce, who was sitting in the stands, after seeing the hot scene in the rest area, showed an excited smile on his face, turned his head and said to the smiling West: "Jerry, if Manu can maintain his current state, Even if we lose Gerrard next year, the position in the position will bring us great help and contribution!"
"That's right!!"
West nodded vigorously with a face of approval, then looked at Gerald Wallace in the rest area, with an inexplicably disappointed face, and said with some regret: "If you can sign up for this child A better contract, I think he will be very happy!"
"Sorry, Jerry, although I really want to do this, but..." Bruce sighed helplessly, and was speechless for a long while!
For Bruce's approach, West is very clear that no matter how good Gerald Wallace's future is, after all, with his current ability, he is really not suitable for a contract of more than 500 million US dollars.
If he enters the free agent market next year, West's best estimate is a $400 million contract from another team!
"drop!!"
Under the regretful gaze of the two, the referee blew his whistle on the court, and the second quarter of the game kicked off!
Yesterday, the kid celebrated his first birthday, and the old wolf almost drank too much, so he couldn't update Chapter 2. Waiting for the old wolf to postpone it for another two days, he will definitely make up what he owed yesterday.
