Chapter 430 The First Battle
The beaches in Northern California are extremely lively. Judging by the temperature in Oakland, these tourists obviously don't think about whether they will catch a cold!
"Honey, will the Warriors win the championship this season?" Charlize Theron, wearing a sexy swimsuit and a thin blanket, asked Bruce next to her with a hint of curiosity and expectation!
"Why not?" Bruce, wearing big underpants, took off his sunglasses, glanced at all kinds of sexy beauties on the beach, and said confidently.
"Wow, if we can win this year's championship, the Warriors will definitely become the sixth dynasty team in history to win three consecutive championships!!" Charlize Theron clapped her hands excitedly, and then sternly He kissed Bruce on the cheek.
"Hopefully!" Bruce grabbed Charlize Theron, who wanted to escape, and patted her upturned buttocks, whispering expectantly.
This season, the Mavericks have played a very surprising performance. So far, they have relied on the outbreak of Jamison and Finley, coupled with the performance of a group of good role players, making them in this season. Surpassed the Warriors in one fell swoop, with a record of 27 wins and 6 losses, shocking everyone in the league!
Don Nelson's "run and bomb" tactic finally showed its ferocious fangs!
On January 1th, for the NBA, although there are as many as ten games on this day, the game that attracts the most fans is undoubtedly the duel between the Warriors and the Mavericks!
"Welcome to the American League Arena, this will be a heavyweight battle for No. [-] in the Western Conference!!"
Sitting in this brand-new arena built in 2001, Bruce suddenly felt an impulse!
In order to provide the Mavericks with an extremely comfortable playing environment, after Mark Cuban bought the Mavericks, he set out to build a new arena for the Mavericks!
Now, in this arena with first-class facilities, Cuban's devotion and thoughtfulness really amazed other owners, whether it is in terms of hardware facilities or the great investment in players.
"This. Do I have to build one for the Warriors too?" Considering the situation of the American League Center, Bruce couldn't help but plan to build one for the Warriors too!
For a moment, when the surrounding fans cheered loudly, Bruce had to say with some regret: "The Oakland City Hall is really troublesome!"
On the side of the court, as the players from both sides slowly walked towards the rest area, all the fans cheered loudly. From this, we can see the excitement of the Mavericks fans and their love for this team!
"This game still has a little meaning for us, so, gentlemen, treat this game with your best form, I don't want to be taught by that lunatic Mark!" Donnie Nelson joked Said to the players in a normal tone.
This game is extremely important for the Mavericks. If they can beat the Warriors, they will consolidate their No. [-] position in the Western Conference. If they lose, they will only be half a game ahead of the Warriors!
Jamison looked at the Warriors side with a flat expression. He still remembered the time when Bruce traded him!
Although with his current status, he can completely forget the previous unhappiness, but entering the NBA, after all, the first time, still has a great impact on the players!
"Wow, did you see Antoine's expression?" Starks obviously noticed Jamison's expression looking here, and he said to Barkley beside him with some curiosity and surprise.
"Hey, he's looking at our boss!" Buckley secretly pointed to Bruce who was sitting behind them, with a gloating expression on his face!
"Haha, that guy really holds a grudge!" Starks said indifferently, knowing what happened back then!
After a long while, he seemed to feel Jamison's gaze looking at him. After realizing that it was him looking at him, Bruce nodded in his direction with a smile!
"I hate his expression!" Jamison murmured to himself, and then straightened up his equipment!
"drop!!"
As soon as the whistle blew, players from both teams walked towards the field one after another.
"Hey Mark!"
A Mavericks fan sitting not far from Mark Cuban greeted him warmly.
"Hello, Thompson!" Cuban shook hands with the fan with a smile. Obviously, the two are old friends!
"For this game, who do you think will win the game in the end?"
Cuban heard the fans' inquiries, thought for a moment secretly, and then said confidently: "This is the Midland Center!!"
"Ha ha!!"
Cuban's reply made the fans around who heard the conversation between the two burst out laughing!
That's right, this is the Midland Center! !
As the players on both sides gradually finished warming up, after the referee blew his whistle again, the main players of the two teams returned to the court one after another!
"Hey, Dirk, your performance is pretty good recently!" Jamison said to Nowitzki with a smile.
Hearing this sentence, Nowitzki was puzzled for a moment, and then said: "Your performance is the most surprising!"
"Haha, this is the Midland Center!" A trace of displeasure flashed across Jamison's face, and he walked towards the center line!
"Weird guy!" He muttered to himself, and Nowitzki walked over without paying attention!
As the players on both sides stood still, the referee threw the basketball into the air after saying some precautions!
"Snapped!!"
Sean Bradley looked very excited tonight. After pointing the basketball to his teammates, while running up the field, he did not forget to throw a punch at the indifferent Duncan !
"Idiot!" Duncan whispered disdainfully, and then slowly followed behind Bradley!
Nash steadily brought the ball forward, and he was extraordinarily calm about Billups' harassment from time to time!
With the arrival of Nash, the other players of the Mavericks quickly ran along the half court as if they were in a hurry!
"Hey, is this coming?" Bruce couldn't help looking forward to seeing the Mavericks running!
Jamison quickly ran along the three-point line, because he played very similar to Nowitzki, he did not immediately run to the inside.
When Mike Finley made a circle from the other side and ran to the top arc of the three-point line, Nash, who had already run into the edge of the penalty area, quickly handed him the ball!
Gerald Wallace followed closely in front of Finley. For him, the starting position did not seem so stable. He had to use his diligence and hard work to further stabilize his position!
"Gerald, don't you just keep chasing?" Finley kept moving the basketball in front of him, and said to Gerald Wallace playfully.
"Hey! Mike, your basketball is mine!" Gerald Wallace said suddenly, making Finley pause subconsciously, that is, for a second, Gerald Wallace His right arm suddenly stretched out, snapping the basketball in Finley's hand!
"Damn!!"
Seeing Wallace quickly hold the basketball in his hand like a cheetah, Finley quickly chased him before he could continue complaining!
"Hehe, Gerrard's progress is not small!" Wilkens smiled and watched Wallace quickly advance into the three-point line, and once again increased his trust in Wallace's ability!
After running into the three-point line, Gerald Wallace quickly turned his head and took a look. When he saw that Finley was still trying to catch up, there was a rare flash of excitement in his eyes, and then his speed suddenly increased. When he was one step outside the three-second zone, his whole body was like a black lightning, with a roar, he held the basketball high in his right hand and flew towards the basket! !
"boom!!"
With a bang, Gerald Wallace dunked the basketball into the hoop with his head above the rim when he was an arm's length away from the rim.
His explosive performance made the Mavericks' home court quiet, and some fans even cheered subconsciously!
"cool!!!"
Billups, who followed Finley, quickly ran to Wallace.
"Cool!! How did you do it!!" Billups hugged Gerald Wallace, scratching his short hair randomly!
Gerald Wallace's explosive dunk made the Warriors' rest area suddenly a world of towel parties. Bruce stood up excitedly and kept applauding for the dunk!
"Damn!" Cuban looked at Bruce sitting behind the Warriors with some displeasure, and couldn't help muttering to himself, "It's just a bumpkin!!"
Later, I don't know if the Mavericks were affected by this dunk. In the last 3 minutes of the first quarter, with Wilkens' first substitution, the Warriors took a 4-point lead and put a lot of The main force has been replaced!
"Manu, challenge the Mavericks' defense with your madness!!" Wilkens patted Ginobili on the shoulder for some unknown purpose and shouted to him.
"Understood!!" Received Wilkens' signal, Ginobili was indescribably excited!
Since joining the Warriors, he has been very restrained in the way he plays.
But now that he suddenly received Wilkens' words like an imperial decree, he felt unspeakably comfortable!
Back on the court, Ginobili glanced at the immature Raja Bell beside him, and he couldn't help showing an expression of can't wait!
Since the Mavericks completed the deal with the Tunneling Team some time ago, while their record soared, the arrival of Nick Van Exel brought great passion and strength to this team!
Especially Raja Bell, who was signed with a basic salary, really gave the Mavericks some surprises!
Mark Jackson took the basketball from Barkley, glanced at the passionate Axel in front of him, and couldn't help showing a smile on his face.
With the rapid arrival of Mark Jackson, one of Ben Wallace and Barkley directly mentioned the three-point line from the inside, and the other quickly led the defensive player in a circle!
With the ability of the veteran Poopeye Jones, it is obviously difficult for him to face off against Barkley, especially on the defensive end. Although he desperately wants to catch up with this dead fat man, the opponent's flexible and changeable footsteps are really difficult. Make him a little depressed!
"Nick, how do you feel recently?" Mark Jackson looked at his former teammate and said to him with a smile.
"Hey, I feel very good!!" Axel quickly stretched out his right hand. He was very aware of Mark Jackson's habits, so when he was transferring the ball, he broke it!
"Haha, this is impossible!" Mark Jackson laughed loudly, and then quickly ran to the right!
"boom!!"
With a soft sound, Axel suddenly felt as if blocked by a rock, and was firmly blocked behind Mark Jackson!
"Damn it!" When Axel saw Ben Wallace's face clearly, he got entangled with him extremely depressed!
After a rotation, Liev LaFrentz faced Mark Jackson directly!
