Chapter 392

Chapter 392

Bruce and Rick Barry were chatting enthusiastically. When all the pastries on their plates had entered their stomachs, the clock in the bar also reminded them that the first half was about to begin!

"Of course, if we can overcome the mountain of the Lakers, then we can say that we have won one-third of the championship!" Barry said excitedly.

As he said, if the Warriors can beat the Lakers, the championship this season will most likely belong to the Warriors.

However, the Lakers with "Sharks" and Kobe obviously don't want to give up this trophy!

The two said as they walked, when they returned to the arena one by one, the performance on the court came to an end!

"Children, I hope you can continue your previous performance!" Wilkens reminded them loudly after everyone walked out of the player tunnel.

"Lanny, don't you think we will kill them very easily?" Barkley said with a playful expression, and then walked out of the passage, and looked directly at the passage on the other side!

Pippen, who was walking out of the passageway, seemed to feel someone was watching him. When he saw Barkley's provocative appearance, his teeth couldn't help itching!

The grievances between the two were originally not a big deal, but as they were in the Rockets that year, the two lashed out at each other in the media, and the discord and grievances between the two ended.

Now, the Warriors are making great strides, which makes Pippen feel very awkward, especially in the presence of Barkley, he even wants to bite him hard!

"Look, what kind of expression that former superstar is looking at us, it's so funny!" Barkley suddenly said loudly as everyone walked out.

His words made the other players look at him in surprise, and when they saw the direction Barkley was pointing at, they all showed weird expressions!

"Okay, Charles, why don't you use a victory to show yourself?" Wilkens said helplessly to Barkley, then waved his hand and walked to the rest area first!

Bruce looked at Barkley who was still chattering suspiciously. The way he pointed at the Trail Blazers before, as if he was a villain, really made him curious!

"The second half is about to start, let's continue to look forward to the performance of the Warriors!" Rick Barry took a sip of water first, then opened the information on the table and said: "In the first half, the performance of the two teams can be compared with heaven and hell." to describe!"

"Although the Blazers have a large number of star players, I don't know if it is a scandal that broke out before the start of the playoffs. Their performance can only be described as bad!"

"If it weren't for Scottie's still good organization and comprehensive abilities, I'm afraid their proud star group will be useless!"

"In contrast to the Warriors, their performance is about to be called perfect!"

"Throughout the first half, the Warriors gave full play to their youthful advantages, especially when they are fully staffed, they will be a nightmare for all teams!"

During Barry's commentary, the referee held a basketball and slowly ran towards the court!

And the fans who saw the referee's action cheered for their team one after another with their own cheers!

In the second half, Wilkenst deliberately sent Olajuwon, who rarely played in the first half, which also made Olajuwon who had just recovered from injury very excited!

Since he was injured, he has thought a lot, especially about his career, this is what he thinks the most!

Before, because of the deal with the Rockets, he already had the idea of ​​retiring, but after meeting Bruce, he suddenly brought up the desire to win the championship that he hadn't been excited for a long time!

And with the impressive performance of the Warriors at the beginning of the season, this made him seem to feel the atmosphere of competing for the championship again!

However, as the season progressed, Olajuwon always felt that something was missing!

Later, when Carter was traded to the Spurs and Bruce brought Duncan into the team, with his outstanding performance, Olajuwon strangely found that what was lacking before was suddenly supplemented!

"This feeling is so wonderful!" Standing on the court, Olajuwon closed his eyes enjoying it!

And Barkley, who was about to pass by him, seemed to empathize with him after seeing his appearance, and said with emotion: "Hakeem, what we are here for, I think you and I are very clear now, Let us experience the fun of competition and struggle again!!"

"That's right, I hope we can bring back the O'Brien Cup to this city with the ability of us old guys!!!" Olajuwon hugged Barkley in his arms and rubbed him vigorously. his head!

The movements of the two were quickly captured by the stadium photographers, and the fans in the stands gave them the warmest applause!

"Veteran!!" There was a flash of admiration in Bruce's eyes, and he stood up to applaud and cheer for the two of them!

Pippen looked at the two with complicated expressions, especially in the scene just now, a trace of jealousy suddenly flashed in his heart!

Since joining the Trail Blazers, except for the first two seasons, he has rarely felt the friendship between his teammates. Instead, he has been caught in various intrigues and endless quarrels again and again!

Whenever he saw the unity of players on other teams, Pippen couldn't help but want to escape Portland.

However, with his increasing injuries, only the last two seasons are left, with a salary of 1808 million US dollars and 1987 million US dollars respectively, which makes it difficult for him to give up.

For a while, Pippen fell directly into a huge contradiction!

"drop!!"

The whistle blown by the referee interrupted the emotions of the three of them, and they all returned to their teammates!

Billups took the basketball from Barkley, looked at Rick Bronson in front of him, and said with a smile: "Rick, we are rookies in the same class!"

"I don't have such a high ranking as you!" Bronson said with some embarrassment, and then actively followed him!

"Hehe!" Billups smiled casually, and then ran to the frontcourt!

With the competitive state of Olajuwon and Barkley, if you want to play a twin tower tactic, you can basically do it for them, but the only problem is their physical strength!

Zach Randolph followed Barkley casually, he would not focus on the defensive end, he was born to attack!

Barkley seemed to understand Randolph's thoughts, he ran back and forth twice pretending not to care, and then quickly ran out of the three-point line!

Barkley's sudden movement made Randolph slightly stunned. Given his speed and attitude towards defense, it was obvious that he didn't want to try hard to catch up, but chased after him like a walk!

"Snapped!!"

When the ball arrived, when Barkley was standing firmly in the top arc of the three-pointer, Billups, who had already run to the right at a 45-degree angle, passed the basketball over!

"Hey, it's been a long time since I played like this!" Barkley looked at Randolph, who seemed to be strolling in the yard. He still had time to adjust his shot, and then he was relaxed and comfortable under Randolph's pretending defense. Throwing the basketball out!

"Shhh!!"

The wonderful sound of passing through the net made the fans in the stands laugh and applaud and cheer for him!

With Barkley's current state, it is extremely rare for him to hit a hollow three-pointer!

In his peak period, he made all kinds of mid-range shots and iconic back shots, and his longest shooting range once reached beyond the three-point line.

However, as age and injury problems became more prominent, he gradually changed to a mid-range shot and inside attack style!

Now, a three-pointer seemed to make everyone see him in his prime, and the arena burst into endless applause!

"F...K!! Can't you be more active??" Pippen yelled at Randolph, who still didn't care, with an angry face. He felt inexplicable in his heart for Barkley's easy three-pointer. intense anger!

"FK..Y!!" Randolph responded to Pippen with a fierce face, he had already acquired the appearance of a leader in this guy.

Seeing that the two were about to start a scolding battle, Cheeks hurriedly called a timeout!

"God, these guys are really unbelievable!!" Bruce looked at the two people on the field who still hadn't backed down, and was very surprised by the contradictions in their team!

The two of Pippen were dragged and dragged off the field by his teammates, and everyone's faces were a little bit awkward, showing embarrassment!

"God, what are you doing???" Cheeks looked at the two angrily, pointing at the large number of fans and several cameras that were working non-stop, he felt the burning pain in his cheeks!

In the commentary seat, Rick Barry looked curiously at the Trail Blazers side, and some faint roars came into his ears, and he finally said in a daze: "Oh, it seems that the Blazers have become so infighting. Already!"

Far away in New York, Stern watched the scene on TV with a livid face. Since the league implemented globalization, he has seriously told the referees, team owners and managers about the violence on the court and some negative situations every time!

However, the current scene not only caused great anger in his heart, but also made him feel no less angry towards Paul Allen!

"Damn!!"

In the Rockefeller Center, after Cheeks roared, the Blazers immediately replaced the two!

Afterwards, throughout the third quarter, the Blazers seemed to go through a roller coaster. From the beginning, it was not bad, and it slipped directly into a super singles with no tactics!

When the whistle sounded at the end of the third quarter, apart from Rasheed Wallace who surprisingly scored 5 points and 5 style rebounds, the rest of the players can only be described as "the iron group"!

The ensuing fourth quarter has lost its suspense early. With the good performance of Duncan and others, the Warriors won the first victory of the series with a score of 118:90 as the whistle sounded at the end of the game. !

As the Warriors ended the game with a big victory, the teams that played with them that day ended the first game!
