Chapter 243 Against the Nuggets
On January [-], when the Warriors were about to face the challenge of the Nuggets at home, everyone in the league was very surprised after the Warriors and Grizzlies broke out about the Danny Fortson trade!
"The Warriors must be crazy, and Bruce must be crazy too!!" Barkley looked at the message on his phone in surprise, and couldn't help being shocked by this deal!
Because Rick Barry had some personal matters, he didn't come to commentate this home game. Instead, he was replaced by a pair of clowns, Charles Barkley and Kenny Thomas!
"Bruce must have had his own ideas when he made this deal. Judging from the deal between the two parties on draft picks, it's too early to say that this deal is not good!" Thomas said with his chin in his right hand, his face pensive.
"Aha, Kenny, have you become a fan of Bruce?" Barkley looked at Thomas with a serious face unexpectedly, and was very surprised by his analysis!
"Of course, no one doesn't like this guy who can bring a team out of the quagmire and gradually grow into a strong team in the league!" Thomas did not deny Barkley's statement. Thinking of the potential of this trade, he couldn't help but look forward to saying : "Judging from Bruce's operation in the past few seasons, he has a large number of draft picks in his hands, and he will definitely show his strengths in the draft. No one can deny his super ability!"
"Come on, buddy, don't you think it's a good thing to trade a rebounding monster in his peak period?" Barkley shook his head pretending to be disdainful!
In his opinion, it is extremely unwise for Bruce to trade Fortson when he is about to compete for a place in the playoffs!
This season has played one-third of the schedule. Although Fortson has been criticized for his poor skills due to his playing time and too many fouls, his rebounding grabs really shocked everyone!
And now, Fortson, who was originally thought to be a strong addition to the Warriors, was suddenly traded by Bruce for two expiring contracts and draft picks. This surprised everyone and shook their heads and sighed at Bruce's operation. !
"Charles, it seems like this to you, so why don't we take a look at the future development of the Warriors? After all, they are just a team in a learning state!" Thomas obviously didn't want to keep entangled with Barkley on this topic , when he saw the players from both sides walk out of the player tunnel, he pointed to the field and said expectantly: "Then let's see how this team without Danny will perform!"
Bruce was sitting in the auditorium, listening to all the fans around discussing the deal, plus the fans looking in his direction from time to time, he couldn't help but secretly shook his head!
"Lanny, why did the boss make this deal?" Dell Curry asked Wilkens in a low voice, a little puzzled. In his opinion, it was obvious that Bruce made something wrong and suffered a loss in this deal!
"Hehe, this is the boss's problem. I just made some suggestions!" Wilkens shook his head with a smile. He didn't want to get too entangled in this issue, and everything will only wait for the future situation before talking about the deal. Transactions will be more convincing.
Hearing Wilkens' words, Dell Curry shook his head helplessly!
Since joining the Warriors, Curry has felt very good, especially driven by some young players, he seems to have returned to his youth for a while, full of energy!
Although his playing time is running out due to old injuries and age, he still uses his shooting to make due contributions to this highly anticipated team!
"DiDi!~"
After the referee's whistle sounded, the players of the two teams stepped onto the field to warm up after making some preparations!
In recent years, due to the somewhat chaotic management of the Nuggets management, the team has been in a state of trading.
In the summer and the mid-term trade, in these two golden periods, the Nuggets are like headless chickens looking for their "right man".
When Nick Van Exel was traded from the Lakers by the Nuggets, even though the veteran was already at the end of his peak, his arrival still made the team show some new changes!
Of course, management chaos also has to be said for Stan Clark, who bought the Nuggets from CNN in 2000.
In July 2000, the rich man made a large-scale impact on the team after acquiring the Nuggets, Colorado Avalanche and Pepsi Sports Center from the US Cable TV Group at a price of 7 million US dollars. Straighten and adjust!
Although his approach is an inevitable means for a boss to enter the team, but the reform he seems to be eager for quick success really made him suffer!
Just on December 12th last month, a piece of news broke out, which suddenly pushed the owner and the team coach Dan Insel to the forefront!
Stan Clark was stunned by the fact that the Denver players refused to play because of some sudden outburst of conflict!
When the league's negative news about the Tunneling Team was rampant, the boss finally stood up and held a special press conference!
Although the final result is still that the coach and the team became the final winners, after the scandal broke out in this team, all the guys who will become free agents this summer have no good opinion of the Nuggets!
Looking at the full-fledged Van Exel, the boss on the field, Bruce couldn't help but think of this guy's days in the Mavericks!
"drop!"
In Bruce's memory, the flute finally sounded in the arena that the game was about to start!
"Children, use your passion to ignite our home court!!" Wilkens clapped his hands vigorously when the main players were about to appear on the stage, loudly encouraging!
Hearing Wilkens' encouragement, Bruce smiled knowingly, and then moved his eyes to the court!
As the main players of both sides came on stage one by one, the game gradually kicked off with the jump ball from Antonio McDyess and Dampier!
The main players sent by the Nuggets are center Antonio McDyess, power forward Riff LaFrentz, small forward George McLeod, shooting guard Voshan Leonard and their core figure Nick Fan. Axel's Combination!
Judging from the lineup configuration of the Nuggets, they have a very big threat on the offensive end, but on defense, only Van Exel and McDyess' defense is not bad, and the rest of the players are much inferior!
In this game, after the previous transaction, the Warriors still sent Marshall to the starting small forward position.
This arrangement is also in consideration of Nowitzki's physical strength, which is why this arrangement is made.
With the trade of Fortson, Bowen will get a lot of playing opportunities. Because Marshall has to take into account the positions of the two tasks, his playing time will naturally be evenly distributed!
"Eric (Dampier), it's still so funny on the jump ball!" Barkley watched McDyess easily pass the ball to his teammates on the field, and looked at Dampier who was slowly running to the backcourt. Can't help a burst of ridicule!
"If you want Eric to get the ball, it's a matter of universal celebration!" Thomas also echoed and joked!
As Van Exel brought the ball to the frontcourt extremely fast, Cassel, who had returned to the starting lineup, hurriedly defended it!
"Sam, long time no see!" Van Exel looked at Cassel who was a little tight, and shook his body tentatively.
"Nick, your bald head is still so bright!" Cassel looked at Van Exel's gleaming head and said with a smile.
"Dude, this isn't funny at all!" Van Exel looked up at his teammate's running position, then suddenly changed direction and ran towards the inside with a little weirdness!
"Damn it, I'll beat you up after the game!" Cassel looked at his friend's back with some annoyance, and chased after him!
Seeing Van Exel's breakthrough, Nowitzki hastily blocked it!
Axel, who was running, saw Nowitzki's movement, jumped up suddenly with his body, turned slightly sideways and handed the basketball to La Frentz, who was temporarily unguarded!
"Shhh!!"
LaFrentz, who has a medium and long-range shot, took advantage of the opportunity to shoot the basketball while receiving the pass.
As a defender, Nowitzki first glanced at Cassel, who was a little annoyed, and then quickly ran forward!
When Cassel brought the ball to the frontcourt, the Warriors players ran quickly!
This season, the Warriors players have gradually combined small ball tactics with some pass and cut cooperation. If coupled with the flashy triangle offense, on the offensive end, their performance is already very good!
Carter brought the ball to the front court in Kassel, and then quickly ran to the high position on the left!
"Snapped!!"
When Carter ran to the high position, Cassel passed the ball very quickly!
After receiving the pass, Carter first glanced at Leonard in front of him, and following a three-threat move, the opponent's expression suddenly tightened, and then he advanced his defensive position a little bit!
Seeing Carter make this classic move, all the fans in the arena excitedly looked forward to it!
Carter stuck out his right foot quickly, looked up at Nowitzki who was slowly running towards him, and then quickly broke through the opponent's defense amidst the violent shaking of his shoulders and the great change of direction of his movements!
LaFrentz, who was following Nowitzki, discovered this situation, so he quickly took a step to the left in order to slow down Carter's breakthrough speed!
But when he just stood still, Carter, who was rushing to the inside line, suddenly changed his route and ran all the way from the middle in an instant!
Since McDyess returned to the Nuggets, he has gradually become one of the core of this team by virtue of his average double-double data per game.
When he saw Carter rushing all the way to the inside, he was very good on the defensive end and quickly blocked the middle!
With Carter's breakthrough, the players on both sides suddenly shrank to the inside!
When Carter was about to confront McDyess head-on, Carter jumped up suddenly. After McDyess jumped at the same time, the right hand holding the ball suddenly pulled down, and quickly stuffed the basketball from McDyess' armpit to the station. Dampier is about three seconds in the penalty area!
"boom!!"
Dampier, who hadn't vented for a long time, roared and dunked the basketball in when he received the pass!
"Eric can dunk the dunk so easily, it's really surprising!" Barkley didn't seem to be blacking out on Dampier, and he felt uncomfortable. Seeing Dampier's dunk, he shouted exaggeratedly. out!
"Well, it does seem a little difficult!" Thomas nodded in agreement with a "serious" face, and when the two looked at each other, they both burst out laughing!
