Chapter 102 Mavericks' Rhythm
All the fans were immersed in the alternative joy brought to them by the old men and old ladies in the center of the stadium. Even the players of the two teams who were preparing to warm up were curious and watched with relish!

Bruce looked around for a while. When he saw the fans and players around him showing their concentration one after another, although the NBA had previously engaged in some dances and activities about China, such an authentic Chinese dance is basically the most important thing in the NBA. can not be seen!
When these lovely old people sounded the sound of the end of the music, they put on the ending pose one after another, and the fans in the audience gave warm applause to these unconvinced aunts and uncles!
"Bruce, I am completely conquered by you!" Nelson gave Bruce a thumbs up in admiration, admiring his operation in the team and his preparation for what he wanted.

If the young man in front of him was not really only 19 years old, Nelson would never treat him as a little guy!

At the end of this charming dance, the aunts and uncles walked down the field excitedly and waved their hands!

Carter and the others looked curiously at the old people in bright red dance costumes, and were very interested in these old people who were still full of enthusiasm and vigor!
"Vince, why do you think there are such interesting dances in the motherland of the boss? If it weren't for the identity of the boss, we basically don't know the slightest bit about that ancient country!" Nowitzki said with emotion. After the Warriors were traded to the team, he was extremely interested in and admired Bruce, a Chinese!

Seeing this kind of unique dance now brought Nowitzki's curiosity to a peak!

"Of course, judging from the boss's usual style, his country must be very beautiful and polite!" Carter nodded in agreement, even though he has already invested a lot of interest in that ancient country, but the US Internet and news The country that is called "backward" is rarely mentioned in the book!

"Gentlemen and ladies, after more than 100 days of waiting, we once again see our team on the road, let's give the greatest applause to the greatest team on earth!!!! "As the DJ yelled, all the fans in the arena shouted and clapped their hands vigorously to send support and expectations for their home team!
Time passed quickly, and when the players of the two teams completed their pre-match warm-ups one after another, Bruce sat in his own seat behind the Warriors with an excited expression on his face!
"Vince, John, Donyell, Eric..." Carlesimo felt the enthusiasm of the fans around him. When he mentioned the power forward, he subconsciously glanced at Nowitzki, who was eager to play. Then he looked at the slightly calm Jason Caffey on the other side, hesitated for a while, and finally seemed to make up his mind, stared at Nowitzki closely, and said firmly under Caffey's disappointed expression : "Dirk, you must cherish this rare opportunity!"

"Thank you, boss!" Nowitzki nodded vigorously with excitement on his face. He had waited for a long time for Carlesimo to say this, and now he finally reached his first goal and hurriedly stood up. Get up and shake your fist vigorously!
Bruce looked at Carlesimo's arrangement with satisfaction. Although the head coach was still a little confused in terms of tactics and response, he appreciated his approach of reusing young people!

"drop!!"

As the referee's whistle blew, when the main players of the two teams walked towards the stadium, the entire arena seemed to have not felt the enthusiasm for a long time. All the fans stood up one after another, clapped their hands vigorously, and watched each other in the stadium. Say hello players!

"Guys, although you have rested for such a long time, please don't forget your actions on the court!" The referee looked at the main players of both sides with a smile, and saw the expressions on the faces of these guys who were eager to try. !

After the referee finished talking about the matters that the players of the two teams needed to pay attention to, he threw the basketball in his hands into the air between the center players of the two teams!

"Snapped!"

Sean Lukes, as the starting center of the Mavericks, with his wingspan and jump slightly higher than Dampier, easily picked the basketball in mid-air to his teammates!
The starting lineup for the Mavericks is that Robert Parker, who was famous in the NBA for his powerful dunks in the early 90s, took up the position of point guard. The point guard's assists made him a duck to water in the Mavericks!
Although this veteran only entered the NBA as an undrafted player, his dunks and overall view are the reasons why teams want to recruit him to the team!

The position of shooting guard is still held by Eric Strickland, and the position of small forward is played by Mavericks star Michael Finley!

The power forward is Antawn Jamison, who was traded by Bruce. From Bruce's point of view, Jamison had a fairly strong figure at the time of the draft. After a shrinking season, his figure looks stronger!
Sean Lukes, who beat Dampier with a jump ball, took the center forward position, and Sean Bradley, who was supposed to start, sat quietly on the sidelines due to injury!

The Warriors are almost the same as last season. The only change is that Nowitzki and Marshall have started one after another!

Bruce watched the two teams gradually collide with each other with a smile on his face. Although the NBA rules have been changed with the approach of the new century, such as the five-second back-up against "Big Mouth" Barkley, the intensity that should be there is still tough. !

Robert Pike skillfully brought the ball across the frontcourt, and Starks, who was defending him, was about to take a step forward, but Robert Pike quickly handed the ball to Finley, who had already run to the right side of the penalty area, without stopping at all!

"Bang! Swish!!"

Bruce saw Robert Pike's simple and sharp pass, and got some real understanding of this veteran defender!
This way of passing the ball to him usually does not happen under normal circumstances. The Warriors have three people standing in the middle. Overwhelmed the Warriors' defense!
Anger flashed across Starks' face. Although the opponent only sent an exquisite assist, as a counter player, Robert Parker's passing style deeply stimulated him!
After receiving Nowitzki's pass, Starks quickly ran forward. When he came two steps away from the three-point line, Nowitzki followed very quickly!

Glancing at Robert Pike, who was still calm in front of him, Starks casually glanced at the running position of his teammates. When Nowitzki made a short cover for him, relying on his good speed, he made a gesture. Want to rush inside!
A simple defensive substitution, Robert Parker had no choice but to choose to follow Nowitzki!
Starks basically ignored Jamison's defense. Relying on his good speed, he intentionally shifted to the left Robert Parker's position. As the opponent subconsciously stepped forward to him and waited for the defense, Starks Kex suddenly seemed to have eyes in the back of his head, swiped his right hand, and handed the ball to Nowitzki, who was ready to attack at any time, very fast and covertly!
Catching the ball, making extremely fast adjustments, and with his hands raised high, Nowitzki didn't even look at Robert Pike, who was only 1 meters tall and two steps away from him, and stared closely at the basket in the distance. Basket, the ball was thrown out gently with both hands!

Bruce saw Nowitzki's action and stood up subconsciously. He had been looking forward to this so-called "golden rooster independent" shooting action for a long time!

"Shh!"

The basketball crossed a high arc, like a sharp arrow hitting a bull's eye, and after intimate contact with the Nets, the gray "net wave" plunged into it!
"Beautiful!" Although the first shot was not made by himself, Carter, who has a good relationship with Nowitzki, still cheered for this classic shot!
As the two teams launched offensives one after another, the Warriors fell into the Mavericks' rapid offensive and defensive transition a little bit!

Bruce frowned and looked at the players of the two teams constantly running around on the court. Although he was very confident in the physical strength of Carter and the others, as time went by, they were not players like the Mavericks who had been honing in and adapting for a season. Can be compared!
The fans in the stadium cheered the performance of the home team from time to time. Although the scene was extremely pleasing to the eye, when they found out that the first quarter was coming to an end and the Warriors were behind the Mavericks by 5 points, they couldn't help being confused by the players of the home team!
Throughout the first quarter, it seemed as if the Mavericks were deliberately guiding them. I don’t know if Nelson deliberately explained it. The Mavericks players seemed to not care about physical strength, and maintained a fast pace on both ends of the offense and defense!

On the other hand, on the Warriors side, although the physical strength of the few seemed to be quite abundant, the sweat on their foreheads was enough to show that they didn't want to be as relaxed as they looked!

"Guys, we have gradually fallen into the rhythm of the Mavericks, and your offense and defense have completely fallen into it!" Carlesimo still said loudly, and he was so annoyed at the performance of the players in the first quarter!
"You have to maintain your own offensive characteristics and rhythm. Although I don't mind if you have a track and field game with the Mavericks, this is our first home game and the first time this season we will send you fans who support you. Wonderful game!" Carlesimo said sharply, looked at the expressions of the players, and said seriously: "So, I don't want to, and you certainly don't want to use a loss to give a reward to these fans who supported you. Disgusting gift!!"

Although Carlesimo's tone is a bit bad, Bruce thinks this method is still suitable for the current young team!
As the referee's whistle sounded, after Carlesimo's reminder and Starks' more steady control of the rhythm, the Warriors gradually got rid of the Mavericks' rhythm in the second quarter!
In the second quarter, the two teams basically maintained their main lineup. The Warriors replaced Chris Mills at the small forward position and Ben Wallace at the center position to replace Dampier. The two teams collided again!
 The third one is delivered, the old wolf tried his best.
