Chapter 397 Going to Los Angeles
The promotion of the Warriors has won the praise of the German League. Whether it is the media or a large number of fans who love the Warriors, they are all exclaimed at their sweeping momentum!
Bruce sat in the office grinning from ear to ear, thinking that a domestic company had approached him in person and wanted to sign a cooperation agreement with a lucrative contract, and he felt indescribably proud!
For nothing else, as an authentic Chinese, he can achieve heights that he would never have imagined in his previous life. Bruce is really moved!
This year, for Bruce, is a year worth celebrating, whether it is in business or in the operation of the team, he has achieved unimaginably good results!
Especially in business, the wealth created by Miracle Entertainment has reached an astonishing level, coupled with the rapid growth of the Warriors, this can't help but make Bruce feel a little ecstatic!
Previously, even though the cooperation with Jobs cost a lot of money, Bruce firmly believed that Apple and Pixar would bring him rich returns!
Coupled with the large amount of Microsoft stock he bought before, Bruce's current net worth is enough to be among the richest people in California!
After the series with the Trail Blazers ended, even though the Warriors went all the way very easily, after all, there are no absolute underdogs in the NBA!
Based on the current duel between the Lakers and Timberwolves, judging from the skills and tactics of the two teams, the Lakers are obviously much more mature and stronger!
And with the end of the series where the Lakers beat the Timberwolves, the West directly produced two teams that ended the series with a sweep!
According to the league's regulations on the schedule, the Lakers and the Warriors will start the second round of competition on May 5!
"Lenny, with our current competitive state, it will be a very difficult series against the Lakers!" Bruce frowned and said to Wilkens at the desk. Regarding the strength of the Lakers, He impresses more than anyone!
In his previous life, as one of O'Neal's fans, for a period of time, he crazily devoted himself to the data analysis of O'Neal and the search for information on the role of the Lakers!
With O'Neill's current state, even though he is still affected by the toe injury, he is still the dominant fat man after all!
Kobe's growth has brought a very important outside force to the Lakers. With Kobe's current peak momentum, even though he frequently makes shots and strikes, the impression of outsiders is not very good, but after all, his finishing ability and His attitude towards the game still makes him one of the few top players in the league!
However, regarding the relationship between the two, Bruce couldn't help but secretly sighed for them!
If the two can be in the same state as when they played together just now, the Lakers may become an amazing team!
However, a team does not have two absolutely privileged players, just like the Lakers now, even though they are still in a very strong state, the grievances between Kobe and O'Neal really worry everyone!
So far, O'Neal has shown a very large rebellious psychology, coupled with Phil Jackson's flattery on both sides, and high-sounding noise on both sides, the Lakers have produced some extremely subtle situations this season.
Thinking of the current situation of the Lakers, Bruce's expression gradually relaxed, and he said to Wilkens with a smile: "Hehe, with our current state, there is basically at least a [-]% probability of breaking through their encirclement and suppression, even if they can play impressively. Exciting game, but our bench lineup is what they fear!"
"That's right, the current lineup of the Lakers seems very reasonable, but the weakness on the bench is enough to create a balanced confrontation between us and them!" Wilkens thought for a while, and said in agreement!
On the Lakers' current bench, only Robert Horry and Devin George can cause trouble.
Compared with the Warriors' bench gangsters, whether it is inside or outside, even if the Lakers have a mature and strong starting lineup, their substitutes are weak. Express your concerns!
In the end, when it entered May, only the series between the Sonics and the Kings in the West had not yet ended, and the situation in the East surprised all concerned people!
On May 5, the Nets will play the final battle with the Pacers, and at the same time they will also have the final battle between the Raptors and the Pistons!
This year's Eastern Conference feels very subtle. Even the Nets, which have a good record in the regular season, cannot be described as dominant in this year's first round performance!
In the duel with the Pacers, under the leadership of Kidd, the Nets are still in a bitter battle.
In the first four games, under the leadership of Kidd and Kenyon Martin, the Nets completed a double play at home, but in the game to Indiana, they fell into a struggle!
In this series, everyone has seen Jermaine O'Neal's dominant performance. If it weren't for Miller's aging and his teammates' lack of strength, the Pacers would have achieved a feat of black eight!
However, the Nets played more reasonably and appeared more patient after all!
At the home court of the Pacers, after the Nets grabbed a victory, the fifth game will return to New Jersey for the final battle!
On May 5, when the Nets beat the Pacers 2:120 like a rainbow, they could finally breathe a sigh of relief!
In the matchup between the Raptors and the Pistons that started on the same day, the Pistons showed an iron-blooded defense. Even though the Raptors were very unwilling, they still lost the series with a score of 82:85 by three points. !
The next day, as the Celtics ended the 76ers led by Iverson with a big victory, the league suddenly exclaimed!
Judging from the state of the 76ers, their play in this series is very puzzling. With the original lineup of Eastern Conference champions such as Iverson, the Celtics rely on Pierce and Walker. Ruthlessly pulled down this team that had won the Eastern Conference championship before!
The sudden emergence of the Celtics has made everyone see their bright future!
When all the games in the league are over on this day, the East and West will finally enter the second round respectively, the Lakers, Warriors, Mavericks and Kings in the West.
In the East, the Pistons, Celtics, Nets and Hornets.
Judging from the promotion teams in the east and west, the teams in the east are obviously weaker than those in the west. Even the Nets, who have the best record in the east, feel that something is lacking, while the west is particularly nervous. Some.
With the dominance of the Lakers, the strong rise of the Kings, the crazy play of the Mavericks, and the balanced strength of the Warriors, the competition in the West is clear at a glance!
Bruce came to the training hall in the arena with ease, looked at the sweating players on the court, and thought of the upcoming second round, he couldn't help muttering to himself: "It would be great if we could kill the Lakers!"
Wilkens sat quietly in his chair and watched the players earnestly complete each training, especially the intra-team match. He was very satisfied with the players' competitive state, even though they had been rested for nearly a week. Time passed, but the players basically showed no signs of slack, which made him very relieved!
"Lanny, we're flying to Los Angeles tomorrow. How's the team going?" Bruce walked over slowly, sat next to Wilkens, and asked subconsciously.
"The performance of these guys is fairly stable, and I'm very satisfied with how they've maintained their state during this period of time!" Wilkens said with a smile, and then handed over the physical data of some players!
"God, you know I can't understand this!" Bruce dodged and pushed the data back, then looked at the court and said: "The matchup between us and the Lakers will be an extremely difficult series. No matter how reasonable our lineup is, as long as Shaquille and Kobe show off their strength, I'm afraid Tim and our shooting guard line will be hit hard!!"
"That's right, so now I have formulated a lot of tactical coordination for them about double-teaming!" Wilkens said seriously, looking at the court with a solemn expression.
May 5th will be an important day for Warriors fans, because the Warriors will get up and go to Los Angeles on this day to prepare for the battle with the Lakers in advance!
Walking out of the airport, the Warriors were surrounded by a large number of media, and everyone was surrounded by Mai Ti!
"Mr. Bruce, what goals do you have for this series?"
Hearing what the reporter said, Bruce smiled and said confidently: "You know our performance this season, just like what we have done before, we will use every victory to advance to the Western Conference Finals. The goal!"
"Lenny, what tactics did you develop for the Lakers??"
"Sorry, I have nothing to say about this issue!!"
"Tim, as one of the Warriors' stars, how do you defend against Shaquille?"
Duncan glanced at the reporter who raised the question with a flat expression, and then said as he walked, "See you on the court!!"
After a slightly messy interview, the Warriors players finally got on the bus to the Staples Arena!
"Ben, this series will be a difficult game. We need you to show the strength we need on the defensive end. You must try your best to prevent Shaquille!" Wilkens sat on Wallace's side. Beside him, he said with a very serious expression!
In the previous training, Wilkens deliberately built Wallace as the core of defense. Once Duncan's performance at the center position is not satisfactory, Wilkens will definitely replace Wallace!
"Boss, you know my determination!" Wallace said with a very certain tone, with a flash of excitement in his eyes.
After receiving Wallace's reply, a somewhat crazy tactic suddenly flashed in Wilkens' mind!
