Chapter 650 Opening the curtain of the finals
In the home court of the Warriors, amidst the bewitching roar of the DJ, the fans in the audience seemed to have inexhaustible energy, cheering non-stop since entering the arena.
And Bruce and West, who were sitting in the stands, had a very heated discussion about some things this summer!
"Look, if the Lakers can finally get Tracy, I think they will continue to be the top team in the league, plus J Buss's dedication to basketball, I think it's only a short period of time, They will once again be strong contenders for the championship!"
Bruce stared at West strangely. In his opinion, the meaning of the other's words was undoubtedly implying something!
Back then, when West brought O'Neal into the Lakers, he wanted to bring this team to the finals again every year, and even win the championship again!
However, with O'Neal's extremely strong performance alone, I don't know if it is the Lakers' bad luck, but it is still difficult for them to break through the last layer of window paper!
Just when the Lakers were a little helpless, with the participation of a high school student, West finally found their last piece of the puzzle!
Now, Bruce suddenly heard what West said, but he couldn't help laughing helplessly in his heart: "It seems that West is still optimistic about Kobe staying!"
If Bruce had the choice, he would definitely try to keep the two on the team at the same time, and use every means to prevent the possibility of them falling apart!
However, the reality is very cruel. After all, there can only be one tiger on a mountain!
Afterwards, in the analysis that West seemed to suddenly become the general manager of the Lakers, with the figures of players from both sides appearing in the player tunnel, the already very hot atmosphere in the arena suddenly reached the highest point of the whole game!
"Well, Jerry, they're going to play!"
Bruce interrupted West's words helplessly, and pointed to the players on both sides of the court who were preparing to play, with a wry smile subconsciously on his face!
Entering the arena, the Warriors players waved to the fans around them one after another. Judging from their expressions, they are obviously very relaxed now, and even very excited!
Rasheed Wallace sat silently in his seat, watching the interaction between the Warriors players and fans, subconsciously clenched his fists!
In Rasheed Wallace's career, this is the first time he is so close to the championship!
Before, when Paul Allen brought a large number of star players to the team, how eager he was to win a championship!
However, with the further deterioration of the team relationship and the extremely poor performance of those guys after getting the big contract, this gradually made Rasheed Wallace's heart cold!
Before, when the Blazers suddenly told him that he was going to be traded out of the team, he couldn't mention how excited and happy he was!
Even though he was about to be traded to the rebuilding Eagles at the time, Rasheed Wallace, who had had enough of the Blazers, was very happy to accept this deal!
However, when he was ready to continue to create his own world here, there was a trade that followed, which directly brought him to this team with a history of iron and blood!
The data declined, and the Pistons traded for one victory after another, and Rasheed Wallace readily accepted it!
When he followed the team step by step and finally entered the finals, he was so ecstatic that he went crazy!
What is a player looking for?It's nothing more than a lot of dollars and the trophy that symbolizes the highest honor!
Now, after getting the coveted big contract year after year, Rasheed Wallace's only wish now is to get that golden trophy!
"Hey man, we're gonna get a championship!!"
Richard Hamilton said to Wallace confidently that he has become a top shooting guard in the league this season!
"Yes, we will definitely get it!!"
Rasheed Wallace and Hamilton bumped fists, adjusted his headband, and looked directly at the Warriors with a fighting spirit!
A gorgeous appearance ceremony is inevitable, as the fans shouted in anticipation, the old referee Dick Bavita once again blew his whistle to start the finals!
"Wow, the finals are finally about to start, let's see the lineups of their two teams!!"
Barkley was wearing a brand new suit and shouted excitedly!
In this year's finals, Barkley and Kenny Smith are still the main commentators, and they are accompanied by the top star from the Pistons, the "villain" Bill Lambiel and the legend representing the Warriors, Kenny Smith. Rhys Mullin both!
"Hey man, I'm sure we're going to kick your asses, come to think of it, that's going to be pretty exciting!"
Suddenly, Lambiel turned his head and said to Mullin with a smirk on his face. Even though the latter was very aware of the vulgarity of this guy, after hearing this sentence, he still said a little depressed: "Bill, if you think a If the team that has just entered the finals in the new century can beat the Warriors, then, I think there must be something wrong with your head!"
Mu Lin spread his hands and shrugged his shoulders pretending to be helpless!
The atmosphere between the two of them paused for a moment. From Barkley's point of view, if they weren't sitting here in formal attire, they would have fought straight away!
However, there was obviously a turning point in the progress afterwards, which made them all stare at each other in astonishment!
"Okay, Chris, don't you think I should play with you on the court??"
Lambiel said something casually, but there was a hint of provocation in his eyes!
"Come on, Bill, if you think you're still that villain now, you should focus on the court!"
Mu Lin wouldn't fight with this guy, I'm afraid that after one fight, his ribs would have to be broken!
"Dude, why can't you act like a man?"
Lambiel said relentlessly that he is completely different from him back then. If he was still on the court back then, he would definitely teach the guy in front of him a lesson. Now what?
"Okay, guys, let's take a look at the lineups of both of them!"
Kenny Smith directly interrupted the words of the two, then pointed to the players on both sides who had already warmed up on the court, and said very quickly: "The Warriors are still their very stable starting lineup, while the Pistons are the center forward. Rasheed Wallace, Turk at power forward, Mehmet Okur, Tayshaun Prince at small forward, Richard Hamilton at shooting guard, and small point guard Lin at point guard. Chi Hunter!"
"Judging from the lineups of the two teams, the Warriors' starting lineup has obvious advantages. While they have a strong inside lineup, they also have Chauncey and Andre on the outside lineup!"
"If the Pistons want to finally win the championship, what they have to do is to directly strangle Tim and Dirk to death. Of course, this will be a very unbelievable thing!"
Even if Kenny Smith doesn't want to say that he is too partial to the Warriors, the current Pistons lineup is indeed difficult to pose a great threat to the Warriors!
If it weren't for their extremely strong performance on the defensive end, I'm afraid that with their current lineup, if they can finally win the championship, it would be a very shocking thing!
"drop!!"
With a whistle, everyone's eyes turned to the stadium.
Under the wide-eyed gaze of the fans, Duncan and others and the Pistons players walked towards the center line of the court one after another!
During this game, Joe Dumars, the general manager of the Pistons, also appeared behind the Pistons' rest area. It can be seen from his face that he is obviously not in a relaxed mood!
"Gentlemen, if there are no questions, I think we can start the game!!"
After Bavita finished his routine, under the signal of the players on both sides, Bavita directly threw the basketball into the air!
"Peng!!"
Rasheed Wallace let out a low growl, and slapped the basketball directly to his teammate. With his explosive playing style in the past few years, he is obviously stronger than Duncan in terms of jumping Some!
Lynch Hunter steadily brought the ball into the frontcourt. This veteran who has been in the NBA for many years, after the previous 99-2000 trade, finally returned to this team again this year!
Billups cautiously followed Hunter. Even when facing Fisher before, he didn't show his current appearance as soon as he came on the court. It can be seen that Hunter is not a vegetarian!
With the steady arrival of Hunter, the rest of the Pistons players began to run very patiently!
In Larry Brown's lineup arrangement, he put all the abilities of the players on the defensive end. Even though Rasheed Wallace and others have good offensive capabilities, they can be used in a lineup that emphasizes overall defense. However, they can only play basketball in a well-behaved manner!
"Bang bang bang!!"
Inside, in order to keep Okur, who plays like himself, away from the basket, Nowitzki directly entangled with the opponent!
In the case that both sides have long-range firing, Nowitzki directly chose to keep entanglement, so as to curb the opponent's performance to the greatest extent!
As a center forward, Rasheed Wallace's shooting also made Duncan very afraid. Like Nowitzki, he chose to follow Wallace from the beginning!
As the 24-second attack time gradually passed, Hamilton suddenly shuttled frantically across the half court like a never-tiring antelope with six seconds left!
"God, doesn't this guy know how tired he is?"
After noticing Hamilton's situation, Barkley couldn't help exclaiming when he thought of this guy's performance in the regular season!
"Haha, I don't think Richard will have a physical crisis!"
Bill Lambiel laughed and said this, obviously having great confidence in Hamilton's physical strength!
On the court, when Hamilton finally ran out of the high position on the right at an extremely fast speed, Hunter directly and decisively threw the basketball over!
"Shhh!!"
With a crisp sound, Hamilton ended the attack directly and simply in his distinctive way!
