Chapter 349 Return of the Semifinals
Since the Charlotte Hornets got Baron Davis in the draft, they have performed well with Mashburn and others. The Hornets once completed an exciting series with the Bucks last season!
Dell Curry was once the pride of Charlotte. When he returned to the arena that once moved him so much, his arrival received extremely warm cheers!
After returning to Oakland before, Bruce really had a good chat with the players, especially Kurt Thomas.
Since they passed the medical examination to join the team, Bruce has not been able to meet them face to face!
Now that he has returned, he will inevitably welcome these two players together with the players!
On the 3rd, because of the suspension, Bruce was not able to follow the team to Charlotte, but he could only bet his focus on the team's future planning with some regrets!
The Warriors have been extremely popular with the Hornets. On the one hand, the return of Dell Curry is a factor, and on the other hand, the team's bitter record!
This season, Mashburn was injured again, which put the Hornets under great pressure. If it weren't for the growth of Davis and the surprising David West, the Hornets would fall to the bottom in an instant!
The Warriors' lineup is relatively complete. Except for the old injuries of a few veterans, the rest of the players have maintained good physical condition and competitive level!
In this game, the Warriors fully used all the players. Although this approach will make Wilkens be criticized, it is this way that all teams in the league have seen the Warriors. tough!
When the score of the game was finally fixed at 110:96, many fans in Charlotte stood up and sent their warmest wishes to Dell Curry, who played up to 30 minutes in this game!
As the game gradually unfolded in January, the Warriors still hovered in the second and third positions in the Western Conference.
The Spurs before them seemed to feel the threat of the Warriors boiling frogs in warm water. In the first half of January, they played an amazing 6-game winning streak.
And it was the Spurs' six-game winning streak that allowed them to gradually stabilize themselves in the second place in the Western Conference!
In mid-January, with the start of the All-Star Game, all teams in the league seized every opportunity to win.
There is still more than a month before the transfer deadline in the middle of the NBA season, but there is not much news about the transfer of stars. On the surface, this mid-term transfer seems to be calm, but in fact it may not be the case.
As the season is about to pass halfway, even though some teams seem to be calm, the various factors in it have attracted the attention of the team managers in the league!
This season, although the Mavericks played an extremely exciting game, their lineup had to make Mark Cuban and Don Nelson ponder over it!
This season, Finley's injury once made the Mavericks extremely dignified, but their performance afterwards really shocked everyone!
Originally, after Finley's injury, basically everyone put a big question mark on the Mavericks' future games, but then the Mavericks achieved a shocking record of 12 wins and 1 loss without Finley. It really made everyone see the powerful potential of the Mavericks!
If Finley continues to be unable to play due to injury, I am afraid that as the Mavericks gradually stabilize, his position will be extremely embarrassing!
After talking about the Mavericks, I have to talk about Bruce's old enemy, the Clippers!
With Brand joining this season, the Clippers have recruited a group of young talents that make Baylor extremely excited!
In Brand's consistently stable performance, Lamar Odom, who was given high hopes by them, was gradually doubted by them!
因为伤病的缘故，这位在上个赛季还有场均17。2分7。8篮板和5。2次助攻的他，在这个赛季深深的陷入了伤病的泥沼之中！
In this season, even though Odom tried his best to recover in the comeback game, his frequent injuries really made his performance feel a little weak!
So far, Odom has surprisingly only played a dozen games. His injury problems have made the Clippers' management extremely hesitant!
If Odom is traded away, they will definitely not want to exchange for some unusable chips!
However, Odom's injury factor really made the Clippers' position in the trading market extremely embarrassing!
In a previous game, as the head coach of the Clippers, Irwin Grant even publicly stated in an interview that "if other teams make suggestions, we will consider them carefully!"
Of course, Bruce, who got the news, was extremely indifferent to Odom's affairs!
Don't say anything else, just say that Nowitzki has been on the rise and the good substitutes behind him, this will definitely not make him consider continuing to fill the powerful forward position!
However, when there were five games left in the January game, the sudden news from the Warriors had to make Bruce's heart tighten!
In the San Francisco Academy of Sports Medicine, Bruce stood nervously in one of the corridors!
When he learned that Olajuwon had been sent to the top hospital in the United States by the team doctor because of his leg injury, Bruce couldn't help being extremely nervous!
Veterans are vulnerable to injuries, which is something that all teams don't want to see.
Every team will be careful to use these veterans who can help the team.
Once these veterans are entangled by injuries, their physical fitness will basically not be compared with their peak bodies, and the recovery from injuries will be much slower!
Bruce, who was walking back and forth anxiously, saw the team doctor of the Warriors and the attending physician of the hospital walk out of one of the wards, he hurried up: "Sir, how is Hakeem's injury?"
"Sorry, Mr. Bruce, Hakeem's leg injury is his old injury!" The attending doctor said apologetically, "If you receive surgery, if you can make it to the final semi-finals, otherwise Hakim will not Will be on the pitch!"
"Damn it!" Bruce cursed secretly, and then said urgently: "If Hakeem undergoes surgery, will it have any impact on his future career?"
"Hehe, you don't have to worry about this!" The attending physician looked at Bruce with a smile: "For Hakim, surgery is the best choice for him now. If he chooses conservative treatment, he will have a limited career. Unforeseen things will happen, so I recommend that he undergo surgery instead of risking his return to the court!"
After listening to the doctor in charge, Bruce said without even thinking: "If Hakim agrees to surgery, we will definitely not ask him to come back in advance!!"
Hearing Bruce's extremely firm words, whether it was the team doctor or the attending physician, they were all a little surprised by Bruce!
Even though the Warriors have a lot of players who can play at the center position, after all, Olajuwon's experience and still maintaining a good competitive state will be a very important puzzle for the Warriors.
However, now that Bruce firmly supports the operation, they can't help admiring them!
"If possible, I want to go in and have a look!" Bruce said solemnly, and then entered the ward with the nod of the attending physician!
When Olajuwon heard the door ring, he turned his head. When he saw Bruce, he couldn't help smiling and said, "Bruce, I'm just a little tired!"
"Hehe, if you feel tired, you should take a good rest for a while!" Bruce's eyes flashed with reluctance, and he still smiled and said: "Dude, this operation will definitely make you ten years younger. With you joining this season, I am very excited, even if we may not see you for some days in the following games, we will use every victory to welcome your return!"
"I'm waiting for that day to come!" Olajuwon's face flashed a touch of emotion, and then he burst out laughing!
Seeing Olajuwon in a very good state of mind, Bruce finally let go!
Back in Oakland, Bruce rushed straight to Rockefeller Center without stopping.
In the training hall, the Warriors players all seemed a little absent-minded!
Olajuwon, who fell because of a collision before, really touched their hearts!
Since Olajuwon joined the Warriors, he has not only used his patience to correct and improve the footsteps of all the players on the team, but his leadership has kept the Warriors' locker room in harmony!
After leaving due to injury, all of them couldn't help worrying about the veteran's injury!
Standing at the entrance of the training hall, watching the players' absent-minded training, Bruce couldn't help feeling a headache!
"Clap!!"
A burst of clapping attracted the attention of the players. When they saw Bruce, who looked extremely calm, they put down a lot of worries in their hearts, and then asked about Olajuwon's injury one by one!
"Boss, is Hakim's injury okay?"
"Bruce, Hakeem's bound to be back in two days, isn't he?"
Listening to the worried inquiries one after another, Bruce couldn't help but feel a little moved!
For a moment, Bruce waved his hand vigorously, and said with a smile: "Guys, Hakim is just a little tired, he needs to rest for a while!"
"Take a break??"
Everyone's expressions became serious again, they were extremely worried about the meaning of this sentence!
"If you can bring the team to the semi-finals, then you will definitely see Hakeem's return!" Bruce was a little uncomfortable being stared at by everyone, and he simply stated the return time of Olajuwon !
"Semi-finals?" Barkley suddenly whispered something, and then a smile flashed in his eyes, and he walked slowly towards the basket with the basketball!
