Chapter 421 The pressure brought by the Warriors
Entering October, the Warriors players enthusiastically devoted themselves to training. All of them seemed to be holding their breath. Everyone showed a very serious and hardworking attitude!
"Bruce, judging from our current situation, if we can maintain a certain level of health this season, we are very likely to win the championship!!" Wilkens said to Bruce very confidently. And their desire for victory is very clear, what they have to do now is to start this season in the best condition.
"Wow, what you said really excited me!" Bruce said excitedly, and he couldn't help imagining the wonderful feeling of all the Warriors holding the O'Brien Cup in his mind!
"Of course, this also requires the cooperation of the players!" Wilkens looked at Bruce dumbfounded.
"Hehe, why don't you give us some confidence?" Bruce said with a smile.
With the landing of Yao Ming in the NBA, together with Bart and Wang Zhizhi, this ball game has spread rapidly in China!
Since Yao Ming showed great potential in the World Championships, a large number of Chinese have tried their best to collect all the information about the NBA, the Rockets, and even some favorite stars!
Of course, with everything the Warriors did back then, China still has a huge fan base, and Bruce and some Warriors players have become the favorites of some young people!
October, for fans, is a very exciting month.
In this month, the NBA will gradually kick off the new season with the start of the preseason.
After a series of reinforcements and transactions, the teams in the Western Conference this season have attracted the attention of some fans in particular!
Inside the Rockefeller Center, Bruce looked at the players who were constantly running around on the field with a calm expression. Seeing their very good performance, he couldn't help but look forward to it.
"Charles, you should watch your weight!"
Seeing the interest, Bruce even teased the players loudly.
"Haha, if you can be stronger, I think those designers will send you invitation letters one after another!" Barkley joked triumphantly after making a three-pointer.
In the arena, amidst the enthusiasm, a passion gradually permeated the entire arena as the players showed great energy!
On October 8th, as the first preseason game between the Warriors and the Grizzlies began, even though the game was just a training situation, a large number of fans still poured into the stadium in San Francisco!
"Jerry, what do you think our season will be like?" Bruce casually asked West beside him, with a hint of expectation in his tone.
"If the Lakers remain the same this season, our chances of winning will be huge!" Jerry West said without the slightest hesitation.
After joining the Warriors, West carefully evaluated the data between the Warriors and other teams.
As he gradually collected and analyzed the data, he couldn't help but be excited about the Warriors' combat power!
The Warriors with Duncan and Nowitzki as the core, in a lineup with Kirilenko and Bruce Bowen, Gerald Wallace and Ginobili, Billups and Mark Jackson, this It will be a very good lineup combination in the league.
Especially the center and power forward positions. After the Warriors have Barkley, Ben Wallace and Robert Horry, this is simply a nightmare for every team.
Even if the Lakers may have some troubles with the Sharks, after Wallace's strength and the duel between the bench, basically no team can beat the Warriors' inside lineup.
"Haha, why don't you let us see Lenny's ability?" Bruce laughed twice, and then turned his attention to Wilkens who was arranging tactics for the players.
"Gentlemen, although our only purpose in this game is to train soldiers, I hope you can show the results of your training this summer. I don't want you to disappoint me and the team."
Wilkens' tough words made the players feel a little surprised. From Wilkens, they felt a bit of arrogance and toughness that they had never seen before.
"clear!!"
Then, under the leadership of Barkley, all the players shouted seriously!
Since the Grizzlies selected Paul Gasol and other good rookies, last season has changed a lot.
Especially Gasol and Battier both brought great excitement to the Grizzlies!
仅仅加索尔一人，在上个赛季便打出了令人惊讶的17。6分2。7次助攻2。1次封盖和8。9个篮板的超强表现。
The Spaniard, after joining the NBA, used his impressive offensive ability to bring a European storm to the Grizzlies and the league.
With Gasol's increasingly powerful performance, the Grizzlies did not hesitate to establish him as the absolute core of the team.
And Battier relied on his own good defensive strength to bring a very positive atmosphere to the Grizzlies' defensive system.
In this game, when they played against the Warriors, the Grizzlies had thoroughly analyzed all the information about the Warriors before.
However, when they gradually learned about this team that should not be underestimated, they suddenly discovered a result that made them very helpless.
With their lineup, if they want to win the Warriors, unless most of the Warriors' players perform abnormally, they will have no hope of winning!
"Damn, why do I have a feeling of loss!" Wesley Persson said in a low voice with some depression. Since entering the league in 94, he really hasn't had such negative thoughts. Now I don't know if it was because of the feeling of being mixed with old fritters, a sense of powerlessness towards the Warriors suddenly rose in my heart.
The rest of the Grizzlies players, after hearing his complaints, none of them looked at him, they all involuntarily looked at the Warriors.
Barkley, Olajuwon, Duncan, Nowitzki, Robert Horry, Stackhouse, Billups and so on.
When these players came into the sight of the Grizzlies players one by one, like Person, they suddenly had doubts about themselves and the team in their hearts.
"Guys, don't forget what you are standing on this field for!!" As if noticing the performance of the players, Grizzlies coach Sidney Lowe hurriedly shouted to them.
"hiss!!"
Luo Wei's words brought everyone back to their senses. Thinking of their previous thoughts, everyone gasped subconsciously!
"Damn, why are we afraid of them, why don't we come and fight??"
Gasol obviously already has a trace of leadership, and his roar made the rest of the players nod secretly.
10 minutes later, as the game started, the Warriors did exactly what the Grizzlies had feared.
They used smooth and smooth tactics to create great trouble for the Grizzlies on both offense and defense.
Even though Duncan and other main players didn't play for long in this game, under the impact of substitutes and several unsecured players, the Grizzlies still struggled extremely.
The fans who saw this game cheered loudly for the Warriors excitedly.
In the end, when the Warriors defeated the Grizzlies with a massacre, everyone saw the Warriors' strong performance.
After the game, with reports on the Warriors, their strength quickly became the biggest topic in the league.
"Damn, why do they maintain such a good competitive state???" Kupchak yelled loudly in the office with a face of constipation. feel sympathy for the guy.
"Donnie, we have to think of something, we can't just watch those guys win the trophy in the end!!" Mark Cuban looked at Don Nelson, who was pensive, with a serious face, obviously feeling the strength of the Warriors. Great threat.
"Hehe, are these guys still rising?" Elgin Baylor's eyes flashed with determination: "We will catch up!!"
"Damn, why am I so angry!!!" Popovich walked back and forth with a livid face, looking at RC Buford with a wry smile beside him, he suddenly felt like a clown, sending a gift to the Warriors. Went to their last imposition! !
In the league, all the managers who have the ability to hit the championship and some quasi-strong teams, even the team owners, are very worried about the strength of the Warriors.
No matter what they want, the current strength of the Warriors has brought great pressure to them.
Oakland.
"Hey, are those guys scared?" Bruce said playfully, and then said to West with a little pride: "Jerry, why don't you tell me about these guys?"
"Sorry, little guy, although I really want to explain to you the anger, depression and entanglement of these managers and bosses, but I don't want to satisfy your desires!" West blinked, with a look that I could do nothing .
"Oh, God, doesn't this feel good??" Bruce said pretending to be surprised, and then picked up the newspaper on the table: "Look, see what they said??"
"Hehe, this is just the beginning. When I was on the Lakers, these were just a piece of cake!" West said casually, then his expression changed, and he looked at Bruce very seriously: "Little guy, you have a Chinese saying Remember the old proverb??"
"Oh? What??" Bruce asked with some doubts.
"The higher you hold, the harder you fall!!" West looked into Bruce's eyes and said word by word.
"Is that so?" Bruce did feel pride and arrogance in his heart after these managers and bosses spoke one after another.
Now, if it weren't for West's awkward translation to sound the alarm for him, I'm afraid that under his influence, the Warriors players will also have such negative emotions.
