Chapter 372 Celtics
The atmosphere in the training hall seemed a little tense. Whether it was Bruce or the players who were completing a series of tactical runs on the court, they all felt a little depressed!
Since Carter was injured, even with the coordination of veterans such as Barkley and Starks, the state of other players has gradually recovered.
But as the gossip that Carter could not return to the team continued to spread, it couldn't help but make them feel a little restlessness from the outside world and the team.
Therefore, as Wilkens made serious corrections again and again, the players all showed a problem of insufficient concentration!
"Dirk, did you put a layer of butter on your hands??" Looking at Nowitzki on the court, after receiving a pass from Billups, the basketball slid away directly. Wilkens, who was already a little irritable, suddenly condensed a trace of anger!
Seeing the growing tension between Wilkens and the players, Bruce hurriedly stood up, walked to the sidelines and said, "Guys, it seems that you need to take a break!"
Bruce's words made the somewhat oppressive atmosphere suddenly relaxed, and then disappeared completely under the ridicule of Buckley and others!
"Hey, guys, look who is this??" Barkley looked at Bruce with a "jealous" face. You weren't born a few years earlier. Oh man, I love that way of coming out, it's been so long since I've been in the limelight!!"
"Hahaha!!"
Barkley's words made laughter erupt in the training hall. Even Wilkens, who was still a little anxious, suddenly relaxed after Barkley's performance, and he felt a lot more relaxed!
"Charles, if I had been born a few years earlier, I'm afraid you'd be left to eat the ashes!" Bruce snatched the ball from Barkley's hands in a serious manner, and made a standard shooting action, saying with some confidence.
"God, do I believe that you can become a superstar with a height of 1 meters?" Barkley looked at Bruce exaggeratedly, and then, under the astonishment of all players and Wilkens and others, said disdainfully: " Do you think you are AI?? I don’t think so!!”
"Uh, puff!!"
Barkley's words and funny moves completely turned the training hall into a joyous show. All the players burst out laughing, and the previous depression disappeared in an instant!
Seeing the players laughing, Bruce couldn't help but secretly gave Barkley a thumbs up, admiring his role very much!
Afterwards, driven by Bruce's reassurance and the previous joyful atmosphere, the players and Wilkens suddenly returned to the warm atmosphere they had before!
On February 2th, with Bruce's encouragement, the Warriors stormed into the Rockefeller Center. They will face the Celtics who have shown signs of rising tonight!
As Bruce was banned, he could only sit alone in the office and enjoy the live broadcast on TV. For such a feeling, he couldn't say he was full of resentment towards Stern!
In the arena, as the soldiers of the Warriors walked out of the player tunnel one after another, before the playoffs were about to kick off, the overcrowded arena suddenly burst into loud cheers!
"Guys, did you hear the cheers of these guys?" Barkley said to his teammates in the rest area with a slightly excited expression, then pointed to the crazy fans in the stands, and said with a touch of excitement: "We Why not repay them with an exciting game??"
"Haha, I'm ready to kick the Bostonian's ass hard!" Starks, an activist, obviously didn't want Barkley to steal his limelight.
"Of course, we have to teach their Mr. Gemini a lesson!" Arenas felt his blood boil, since Carter was injured, he has never felt so good!
Seeing the players' excited expressions, Wilkens finally let go of his worries!
"Well, children, we will increase the use of Princeton's style of play in this game, so I need you to stay focused at all times, and use your positive performance to give all the fans who like you!" Wilkens struck while the iron was hot , said clapping his hands.
The home atmosphere of the Warriors is extremely stressful for all visiting team players!
Since Bruce's gradual transformation, the fans here have reached a home stadium that frightens all players!
Jim O'Brien has been observing the players since they entered the arena. When he found Pierce's expression tense, he immediately comforted him: "Paul, you don't have to pay too much attention to the atmosphere here, you just need to treat it with a normal mind. good!"
"Uh... Sorry, Jim, I'm just a little nervous!" After Pierce finished speaking, he hurriedly took a deep breath!
Even though he has been in the league for some years, he is only a fourth grader after all, so the tense situation still has a big impact on him!
Antoine Walker looked at Pierce amusedly, and then patted him on the shoulder: "Man, you will like this feeling!"
"drop!!"
Amidst the cheers of all the home fans, the main players of both sides walked to the stadium one after another!
During the previous warm-up time, the Warriors players seemed to be on stimulants, and they used dunks to end their layups!
Their state made Bruce feel extremely gratified alone!
Wallace fixed his eyes on Tony Batty of the Celtics. He had to pay attention to the opponent's movements all the time when his height was not dominant!
Following the referee's instructions, Wallace's body suddenly tightened at the moment when he was about to throw the ball into the air. After the basketball reached the highest point, with a super strong bounce, he slapped the basketball to his teammates!
Cassel firmly grasped the basketball, glanced at veteran Kenny Anderson, and then ran steadily forward!
Nowitzki quickly came to the high position on the right, looking at Kassel who was about to come, he tried his best to resist Walker behind him!
"Let's start!" Cassel murmured in a low voice, and then when he came beyond the three-point line, he handed the basketball to Nowitzki!
"Hey, white boy, why don't you try to shoot a jumper on Uncle Walker's head?" Walker, who put his arms lightly against Nowitzki, kept talking with his mouth opening and closing.
"Can!!"
Following Nowitzki's extremely resolute answer, he leaned against Walker's body and suddenly completed a quick turn. Then, while the other party was a little dazed, after a symbolic "Golden Rooster Independence", his hands softened Throwing the basketball out!
The basketball crossed a very high arc, and under Walker's somewhat depressed gaze, it finally got into the net very smoothly!
"Hoohoo!!!"
The home court of the Warriors is boiling, even if Carter is missing, but this will not make them give up cheering for the first goal of both sides!
Then, throughout the first half of the first quarter, Nowitzki fully revealed his shooting skills at a glance!
And his performance made the Warriors lead the Celtics by 4 points. Walker's random shots and birds really set off Nowitzki's accuracy and reasonableness!
Seeing that Pierce and Walker failed to perform, O'Brien immediately called a timeout!
"Antoine, why didn't you choose to give the ball to Paul and his teammates reasonably?" O'Brien looked at "Fat Toutuo" a little depressed, and then wanted to yell.
"Sorry, Jim, I don't have a good chance!" Pierce said in a hurry, not wanting to have conflicts between his friend and the coach.
O'Brien's gloomy expression became more and more intense after Pierce said this, and he felt helpless for this "cute" guy!
Since coming to the Celtics, Pierce has gradually concealed his overconfidence before the draft, followed by his modesty and serious attitude!
"I'll pass it to them!" Walker smiled and nodded to Pierce. Although everyone now regards him and Pierce as the core of the Celtics team, after all, when Pierce is not here, he is the team. Team leader!
As Pierce gradually showed his humility, Walker gradually developed a good impression of him!
"Dude, let's bury them together!" Walker patted Pierce on the shoulder vigorously, then nodded to O'Brien with a serious expression!
Walker's statement finally made O'Brien let out a heavy sigh: "I hope you can show the state you are in training!"
Bruce got up and poured himself a glass of whiskey. When he returned to the sofa, he couldn't help but subconsciously look at the orange-red liquid in the glass!
"This game will make Wilkens see the shortcomings of the team very clearly. I hope these guys can show a good state!" Bruce muttered to himself, and then took a sip of the whiskey in his glass. And all!
Back on the court again, Pierce finally regained his touch, especially under Walker's occasional go-betweens. With his two mid-range shots, the Celtics' score was only 2 points behind the Warriors!
After that, as Pierce missed his last shot in the first quarter, the two sides returned to their rest areas one after another!
"Dirk, your performance is very good, the team needs your support now!" Barkley patted Nowitzki on the shoulder with great satisfaction, very satisfied with his performance in the first quarter!
"Hehe, Charles, if it weren't for your support for the team, I'm afraid I would feel extremely difficult!" Nowitzki said modestly, then looked at Charles Oakley on the other side and said with a smile: "C Oakley, thank you for your guidance in training!"
Oakley waved his hand casually, and said casually: "As long as your defense can be tougher, that is the best thanks to me!"
Oakley's words made the rest of the players laugh!
Nowitzki's efforts on the defensive end are seen by everyone, but because of his thin body, even though he is already active enough, those muscular sticks are not easy to mess with after all!
"Uh... I will work harder!" Nowitzki said with some embarrassment, and then Wilkens focused on explaining some tactical changes to the players!
It's finally done, the old wolf is going to have a meal, and he has to go to the hospital tomorrow. I hope everyone can understand that the latest update time is not stable!
