Chapter 379 Duncan!Warriors debut! !
In the training hall of the Warriors, a large number of team staff gathered here, shouts and cheers came from time to time on the court!
Bruce looked at the court excitedly, especially the figure in the No. 21 training uniform who had just completed a classic rebound shot, not to mention how excited and excited he was!
"Good job, Tim!!!" Cassel ran over excitedly and patted Duncan on the back hard.
"Hehe!" It was Duncan who replied Cassel with a calm smile!
After that, when Wallace tried his best to hit a ball on Duncan's head, he finally ended the attack with a big cap!
"Ben, you should play smarter!" Wilkens said to the frustrated Wallace with a smile. Seeing Duncan's calm return to defense, he was very excited about Duncan's performance!
Since Duncan completed the press conference of joining the Warriors yesterday, he immediately joined the Warriors' regular training with Steve Smith and Stephen Jackson!
Duncan's performance and understanding of tactics made Wilkens ecstatic!
This striker with comprehensive skills, even in Princeton's style of play, he can use his good basketball IQ to find his position in the tactics very quickly!
With the joining of Duncan, the Warriors have undergone earth-shaking changes in their support and the deterrence of the inside line!
Not only does he play a huge role on the defensive end, but even on the offensive end, his methods are a little single, but with his high rebounding and shooting, this will cause headaches for some defensive centers!
Compared with Duncan's amazing adaptability, Steve Smith and Stephen Jackson are a little bit uncomfortable!
Even though Smith has played under Wilkens for many years before, after all, Wilkens is no longer the coach with a balanced offense and defense. After he has a large number of talented players, whether it is in the system or some tactics Using it, there have been surprising changes!
Since Wilkens worked out for the Warriors, the combination of the Princeton style of play and the triangle offense, coupled with the top defensive system before, has made the Warriors more powerful and exciting on both ends of the offense and defense. Get up!
"drop!!!"
Wilkens, who was already very satisfied with the performance of the players, looked at the watch on his wrist, and then blew the whistle!
"Crash!~"
The end of the whistle caused a large number of staff in the training hall to applaud these guys excitedly. Everyone saw the Warriors' brand-new but extremely extraordinary lineup system, and they were all very excited about this season. expect!
After the rest of the staff left talking excitedly, Bruce walked towards the players excitedly!
"Guys, you guys are just so cool, I've never seen such smooth play and competitiveness, really, your performance is perfect!"
Bruce's words attracted everyone's attention. Barkley glanced playfully at the somewhat silent Duncan. He knew a little about his character, but suddenly his expression changed, and he deliberately said in an extremely excited tone: "Boss, why don't you have a wonderful game?" How about a trip to the nightclub and a welcome ceremony for our new players?"
"Aha, look what this is??" Bruce looked at Barkley triumphantly, and suddenly took out a stack of VIP tickets from his pocket with his right hand, and shook his eyes at him sideways!
"Oh, why do I love you so much!!" Buckley looked like a child when he saw the VIP ticket in Bruce's hand, and ran towards him with exaggeratedly open arms!
On February 2, after all the Warriors players and important staff cleaned up for Duncan in a nightclub, the team officially started the last home game of their road trip. They will face off against The Atlanta Hawks from afar!
"The joining of Tim Duncan and others, I don't know what it will bring to the Warriors. Tonight will be the final test for them to show whether they are worthy of Bruce's big price!!"
In the Rockefeller Center, a large number of fans poured into it. After defeating the Spurs in the last game, the fans were looking forward to the debut of Duncan and others!
"As we all know, Tim Duncan's strength is the top in the Western Conference. However, he is now playing center. I wonder if he will have some problems!" Rick Barry still analyzed very rationally, even as a loyal warrior. Fans, but he still upholds his own ethics!
"Of course, Tim's ability is unquestionable. What is lacking is just running in with the team. I hope they can finish it very quickly!" George Lillard obviously has great confidence in the Warriors, and he looks determined, even if Barry felt some recognition!
As the fans took their seats one after another, after the Warriors and Eagles slowly walked out of the player tunnel, huge applause and cheers erupted in the arena again!
Even though Carter's departure still made some fans a little puzzled, and even some fanatical fans cursed, after all, they love this team, not some stars!
Of course, in addition to these favorite teams, there are still a large number of fans who like stars!
Bruce sat in the office with some displeasure, watching the appearance of players from both sides on TV, he was once again a little angry at Stern's actions!
"Children, this game will be of great significance, so I hope you can maintain your focus and execution. Only in this way can we launch an impact on this season's championship!" Wilkens said very seriously. Looking at the players, when he saw Duncan, his eyes suddenly showed great expectations: "In this game, we will make some changes. In addition to Princeton's style of play, we will try a new tactic!!"
Hearing Wilkens' words, the players looked at Duncan and Nowitzki one after another. They were very aware of Duncan's terrifying twin-tower tactics with Robinson before, so they basically understood what Wilkens wanted to do. do what!
"Tim, is there a problem!"
After hearing this, Duncan smiled and nodded to Wilkens, then looked at Nowitzki beside him, and said, "Dirk, we are a whole, we can't get out of tactics, so let's work hard together !!"
Duncan's words made Dirk Nowitzki and the rest of the players feel a little bit surprised, and then even under the serious look of the opponent, as if he had a strong leadership temperament, the players stretched out their right hands one after another!
"come on!!!"
The camera recorded this scene very faithfully. Whether it was the fans at the scene or the audience in front of the TV, they all subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief!
As a rookie coach, when he was coaching the Eagles, Lon Krueger was instilled by the management about how well Wilkens had done before, but now he will suddenly face the Hall of Fame player and coach, He couldn't help feeling a little curious about this Qiansheng coach!
After the Eagles traded wildly last season, after a season of rebuilding, the team finally has some improvement, both the players and the management have undergone great changes!
Jason Terry has developed into an exciting attacker, and the team has brought in the likes of Shareef Abdul-Rahim and Toni Kukoc under the leadership of the new coach. , compared with the previous seasons, there are some gratifying changes!
"drop!!"
After the coaches of the two sides explained some tactical essentials to their respective teams, as the referee's whistle sounded, the players of both sides went to the court to start the warm-up before the game!
"Judging from Tim's actions, he is obviously not affected by the previous transaction, and his expression also tells us that he is the guy with a degree in psychology!" Rick Barry looked at the players who made some moves on the court. Duncan made a joke with a smile!
"Aha, why don't you show us the ability of the No. [-] pick?" George Lillard keenly observed the emotions among the Warriors players and the relationship between the players. An embarrassing, or indifferent atmosphere, on the contrary appears to be harmonious!
"drop!!"
Afterwards, after the referee blew his whistle again, the fans turned their attention to the stadium!
"Come on!!!" Wilkens clapped his hands with several main players one by one, a flash of memory flashed in his eyes, and he subconsciously looked in the direction of the Eagles!
Since then, the Warriors have sent center Tim Duncan, power forward Dirk Nowitzki, small forward Bruce Bowen, shooting guard Dell Curry and point guard Sam Cassell!
The only change for the Warriors is that Duncan appeared on the list of starting centers. Even though Steve Smith has better scoring ability than Dell Curry, he is not as big a call as Duncan after all. force!
The lineup sent by the Eagles is also the lineup used at the beginning of the season. They sent center Nazr Mohammed, power forward Demar Johnson, small forward Shareef Abdul Rahim, Shooting guard Ira Nubell and point guard Jason Terry five!
Judging from the lineups of the two teams, the Warriors are obviously much stronger. Whether they are at the center position or the power forward position, they all have great advantages!
Even as a point guard, it is possible to be overwhelmed by Terry after going crazy, but at this point in Raheem, Wilkens has great confidence that Bowen can greatly limit his performance!
Duncan and Mohammed walked towards the center line one after another. They have already played against each other for several years. Duncan can basically win the final possession of the ball without any suspense!
"Guys, tonight's game seems to have received a lot of attention. I don't want you to have problems in this national live broadcast, otherwise I won't mind sending you back to your hometown!" The referee on duty humorously said to the two teams. The player talked about the rules of the game, and then slowly threw the basketball into the air with his right hand!
"Snapped!!"
Relying on his super long wingspan and good bounce, Duncan hit the basketball in mid-air first, and then ran forward in a leisurely manner!
