Chapter 428 Crazy first half!
The game between the Warriors and the Rockets was about to start. Under the cheers of more than 1 fans in the Compaq Center, with strong fighting spirit, the players from both sides rushed to the court!
"This will be a big battle, even though the Rockets' abilities are indeed a little immature, but don't forget, this is the Compaq Center!!!" Drexler said loudly with an excited expression.
The fans in the stands seemed to be cooperating with his shouts, and suddenly there was a burst of loud cheers!
"It seems that there will be some troubles!" Bruce murmured in a low voice, feeling the atmosphere in the Compaq Center.
The court was on the court, and players from both sides walked towards the center line one after another.
"Hey, Tim, you are my idol!" Yao Ming said politely to Duncan, even though his English was still a bit awkward, but it couldn't stop him from saying that.
"Hello, Yao!" Duncan gave Yao Ming a rare smile. After the two of them hit their chests in an American style, they immediately stood on both sides of the referee.
"This game will be broadcast live across the country and in Asia and Europe at the same time. I hope you can take advantage of this opportunity!" The referee on duty said meaningfully to the players on both sides.
"Is it such a big battle??" Yao Ming couldn't help being dumbfounded at the referee's words. This kind of treatment is no less than the grand occasion of the All-Star Game!
Previously, after considering some league matters, Stern deliberately positioned this game as a huge game that was almost broadcast live globally.
For him, as long as he can create a team or a global star, this will bring unlimited business opportunities to the NBA!
Especially for the Warriors, they not only have Bruce, an influential owner in China, but also have a large number of exciting European players!
Once their performance is enthusiastically sought after by fans in their home country, a lot of dollar bills will flow into the huge pockets of the NBA like a river!
At the beginning of this season, the Lakers did not play very well. So far, they only rank fourth in the Western Conference with a record of 19 wins and 20 losses.
If it weren't for Kobe and O'Neal's still strong personal abilities, I'm afraid the Lakers would be surprising!
Therefore, after Stern learned about the situation of the Lakers, he quickly wanted to establish another team or another team and individual that could have great influence.
The game between the Warriors and the Rockets gave him a great opportunity.
The potential of a team can be seen from the configuration of players and the top management.
Since Bruce took over the Warriors, he has injected a very exciting energy into this team.
The choice in the draft, the success in the transaction, coupled with his persistence in admiring Chinese culture, all these gave Stern the opportunity to choose them!
If it weren't for the Lakers still winning the championship last season, I'm afraid Stern would directly "protect" them and start a series of "care" for the Warriors.
Now, with the joining of Yao Ming, the NBA has set off a huge wave in China. If Stern can take advantage of this opportunity, it will bring huge benefits to the NBA.
Now that there is a championship-level team and players who have become international superstars, Stern has no hesitation, regardless of the opposition from other high-level league officials, and directly sets this game as an international one!
On the court, the players from both sides looked at the referee in disbelief. They were shocked by what the referee said!
They never dared to think that a regular season could have such a great influence!
What is the purpose of being an All-Star?It is nothing more than a large number of business cooperation opportunities and a rare opportunity to promote yourself to the world!
Now, just one game may make him a "local tyrant" with a large number of fans and even a large number of businesses. No one wants to show his skills without working hard!
Under the excitement of all the players, only Duncan was still calmly waiting for the referee's kick-off!
"Isn't this guy excited at all?" The referee on duty couldn't help being surprised when he saw Duncan's expression!
"drop!!"
Although the players were still a little shocked and unbelievable, the game still had to go on on time!
"Snapped!!"
Duncan gave the basketball to his teammates. He didn't care about things that didn't help the game. What he has to do now is to lead the Warriors to win the game and even win the championship this season. It is his goal, and also his ultimate goal!
After Billups got the basketball, he was stunned for a moment, then his expression was shocked, he suppressed the shock brought by the referee before, and quickly ran to the frontcourt!
In the stands, Bruce looked at the performance of the Warriors and Rockets players on the court, and he couldn't help but feel a little awkward on his face!
Judging from the lineups of the two teams, even though there is a big difference, they are professional players after all.
However, except for Duncan and Billups, who is barely normal, the eight players of the other two teams are extremely excited.
"Lenny, is there something wrong with them?" Bruce asked with some doubts, but he didn't know the final arrangement that Stern made for this game at all!
As Billups brought the ball into the frontcourt, his mood suddenly calmed down. He seemed to be a natural controller, and his calmness returned to him in an instant!
Francis stood excitedly in front of Billups. He kept rubbing his hands. From his constant shaking back and forth and frizzy non-stop reaching out, he clearly showed his brain fever state to the fullest!
"What's wrong with them??" Seeing the actions of Francis and the others, Drexler couldn't help being shocked. He had never seen these players so excited!
"Wait!!" Moses Malone, who was sitting next to him, suddenly received the information given to him by the staff. After that, he only saw the first two sentences and almost jumped up in shock!
Seeing Moses Malone's frightened look, Drexler snatched the documents in his hand, and after only looking at them twice, he stood up with a "whoosh" and shouted in a low voice: "God, This is simply astounding!!"
When Stern's operation of the game spread throughout the arena, an uproar that overturned the entire arena exploded in an instant.
"Damn it, this game is too big!!" Bruce looked at his hands in a daze. The information he had just been given by the Warriors staff gave him the first impression of being crazy, extremely crazy!
On the field, amidst the crazily roaring of the audience, with the release of a large amount of hormones, their mistakes suddenly appeared on a large scale. Between Bruce Bowen and Glenn Rice, even because of excessive action Big and scolded!
"Damn it!!" Seeing this happening, Bruce almost wanted to pull Stern's hair and give him two slaps!
New York headquarters.
"Damn it, how could this happen!!" Stern walked back and forth in the office with a livid face, seeing the crazy scene of a "riot" on TV, and he was not at all prepared for this to happen!
"I should have notified them in advance, I should have notified them in advance!" Stern sat on the office chair with a tangled expression, thinking that he had been neglecting something before.
Now, he knew exactly what he had forgotten, and it was all because of the excitement that completely overwhelmed his head!
In the Compaq Center, the game between the Warriors and the Rockets was completely played like an iron-blooded offense and defense in the 90s. No matter on the offensive or defensive end, they were extremely tough, even too tough!
"drop!"
The whistle at the end of halftime suddenly sounded, and the Compaq Center seemed to be boiling with oil. The fans screamed, and spontaneously started a wave of people on the basketball court!
"This half of the game was really tormenting!" Although Drexler didn't want to splash water on his old club, this half of the game was really a bit too "crazy".
Back in the locker room, although the Warriors led the Rockets by 8 points with the calmness of Duncan and Billups, Wilkens was not happy at all!
"FK!! Who can tell me what's going on!!" Wilkens swears for the first time, looking at a player who is still a little excited, his lungs will explode!
"Haha, I like this fierce confrontation, I miss it so much!!" Barkley didn't notice Wilkens' angry tone and appearance at all, and just kept shouting.
"Shut up!!" Wilkens was completely angry, and he suddenly shouted: "Your performance is like a bunch of children excitedly fighting for a cake, oh, God, I am so disappointed in your performance Extreme!!"
quiet! !
All the players in the locker room stared blankly at the angry Wilkens. They had never seen the old coach so angry before!
"Look, look at your performance, look at your scrambling and throwing without any reason, no, this is unbelievably bad!" Although Wilkens was already extremely angry, his way of speaking Still looks extraordinarily so!
Wilkens' words finally made Barkley and others understand. Looking back on their previous performance, they all lowered their heads in embarrassment!
"Huff. Huff."
A heavy gasp came out of Wilkens' mouth. Although the players had expressed their shame with their actions, he still seemed angry!
After taking a few deep breaths, Wilkens resisted the desire to scream, calmed down a little, and said expressionlessly: "If any of you are still in the same state as in the first half, I will not hesitate to drive the main Coach's right!!"
"hiss!!"
There was a sound of gasping, because of Bruce's strict requirements on the players, he gave Wilkens great rights, especially on top of the suspension, Wilkens has very terrifying rights!
"Sorry, this is my responsibility!" Barkley said with some shame: "As a veteran, I didn't control my emotions!"
Under Barkley's first introspection, the rest of the players expressed their apologies to Wilkens, and their emotions gradually calmed down!
Seeing everyone like this, Wilkens' face finally returned to normal!
"I know this news is shocking, but you guys are professionals after all, and you only get a lot of chances when you win, so...can you guys tell me what's going to happen in the second half?"
The players looked at Wilkens one by one, thinking of the ultimate goal set by the team and them before, their hormones instantly transformed into a strong fighting spirit!
