Chapter 103 Stern's Guarantee!



Chapter 103 Stern's Guarantee!

Bruce sat off the field calmly, watching the players on the field fight with all their strength. I don't know if it was because Stern gave the two teams a national live broadcast today, and the players of both teams showed extremely strong combat effectiveness!
The high-speed offensive and defensive transition of the Mavericks, compared to last season, which gradually revealed a little bit of "bombardment" essence, has given fans and the league a big surprise at the beginning of this season!
Although the Sonics played very pleasing games under the leadership of Payton and Sean Kemp, they are compared to the Mavericks under the guidance of Nelson who has been studying "bombing" for many years. After a season of running-in, they still quickly grasped Nelson's understanding of bombardment!
Ben Wallace followed Sean Lukes closely, even though the opponent was much taller than him, but he was so powerful that he still entangled Lukes a little depressed!

Starks made some mistakes in controlling the rhythm in the first quarter. Following Carlesimo's reminder, he has tried his best to suppress the rushing rhythm of his teammates since the second quarter!

Although Bruce was a little hard to understand the rhythm, when these players appeared on the field again, the two teams saw a little difference in his eyes. One was still running wildly as before, while the other was brewing in calm!

Carter received a pass from Starks. Even though he scored 8 points in the first quarter, he rarely made a very threatening breakthrough. Instead, he scored 6 points with a mid-range jumper!
Carter glanced at his teammate's running position, then glanced at Strickland who was defending in front of him, and suddenly stuck out his right foot, staring closely at his expression!

Seeing Carter's actions, other Warriors players quickly opened up space for him. This approach seems to have formed a tacit understanding. Once Carter gets the ball, the rest of them want to create space for him to break through!
Seeing the actions of his teammates, a gleam flashed in Carter's eyes, and he put the ball behind his left hand. After another probing step, his shoulders shook extremely quickly, and his body quickly made a movement to break through!

Strickland had encountered Carter's seemingly incomprehensible offensive style last season, but he was a little less talented, but it was a bit difficult for Carter's offensive style!
Seeing a trace of hesitation and seriousness flashing across Strickland's face, Carter raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and took a step back. At the moment Strickland subconsciously followed forward, a very standard crotch change direction, In addition, the first step was not inferior to that of a top breakthrough player, and he broke through from Strickland's right in the blink of an eye!
Jamison, who stood at a high position and kept an eye on Carter's movements, relied on his experience in fighting side by side with him in college, and quickly stood on the necessary route for Carter's breakthrough!
Carter, who broke through quickly, seemed to have expected Jamison's reaction. When the two approached very quickly, Carter was half a step away from Jamison, leaning on Jamison's body, and quickly turned to the right!
"Dude, do you still have the impression I gave you when you were in college?" Carter, who turned around and broke through Jamison, had a smile on his face the moment the two of them crossed their bodies, and quickly walked towards the temporarily empty restricted area. run inside!
"cool!!"

"this is amazing!!"

Seeing Carter's super breakthrough, all the fans subconsciously stood up!

Seeing that Carter had already run into the free throw line, when Lukes, who was three steps away from the penalty area, was about to get rid of Wallace's entanglement and run towards the penalty area, Wallace next to him tried his best to block him behind him!
Seeing Wallace's actions, Carter's eyes suddenly flashed with excitement. He held the ball in his right hand. After stepping into the penalty area one step away, relying on his own strong bounce, the right hand holding the ball was raised high, accompanied by the fans all over the field. Shouting excitedly, the whole body stretched out like a taut bow!
"boom!!!"

"Ah!!!" Carter pulled the basket excitedly. The moment his body fell to the ground, he failed to complete a breakthrough in the entire first quarter, slapped his chest hard, and shouted loudly!

"VC, VC, VC!!!"

I don't know which fan shouted first, but as the shout spread farther and farther, all the fans shouted the name of their hero in unison in an instant! !
Bruce looked a little excitedly at the excitement of the fans, and was very excited about the enthusiasm of these fans!
The Warriors relied on Bruce's operation and last season's fairly successful record. Fans who supported the Warriors seemed to see the future of this team that had been sinking for a long time. Coupled with Carter's super dunk, it was originally created last season. The shrinking season is only second to the attendance rate of the Oakland Arena in several big markets. Judging from the current attendance rate of the arena that is almost at full capacity, Bruce has really done his marketing!

Accompanied by the loud cheers of the fans, the Warriors players seemed to have been stimulanted in the air. Since Carter's explosive dunk, every player has tried his best to attack and defend!

At the end of the second quarter, the Warriors relied on Carter's explosive dunks and other players to play one after another, leading the Mavericks by 58 points at 50:8 and ending the first half of the competition!
Watching the players return to the locker room one after another, this time Bruce did not follow the past as before, because he had more important things to do!
David Stern sat in the reception room of the Warriors with satisfaction. Although he did not choose to go to watch the scene, the TV hanging on the wall showed him the potential of the current Warriors!
Bruce stood outside the reception room, carefully arranged his clothes, paused for a while, and then knocked on the door!

"Please come in!!"

Stern smiled and looked at Bruce who walked into the room. He was very satisfied with the operation of the Warriors and Bruce, as if he had just taken over the Warriors last season. He was very interested and concerned about Bruce's performance all the time!

"Mr. David, hello!" Bruce greeted Stern politely. Although he had a good impression of the old man, his subjective impression of Stern in his previous life was difficult to judge this old man from the present. Even a kind old man is regarded as his "friend"!
"Bruce, nice to meet you!" Stern stood up with a smile and shook hands with Bruce, and the two sat down respectively!
"It's a great honor for you to come to watch this game in person!" Bruce looked at Stern sincerely, but was really a little surprised by his intentions!

"The Warriors seem to be very successful under your operation!" Stern waved his hand casually, thought for a while, and said simply: "Do you have any good suggestions for our league?"

Under Stern's plan, he originally planned to further open up some markets in Asia by virtue of Wang Zhizhi's participation and the arrangement of the Japan competition on November 11-6!
But who knows, Wang Zhizhi, who was regarded by Stern as the opening of the ancient oriental country, did not immediately go to the NBA, but temporarily chose to continue training in that low-level league!
This made Stern, who has slowly launched a globalization strategy, feel a little depressed. Even if the NBA will gain some benefits and publicity in Japan, it is basically nothing compared to that superpower. Coming to Oakland, this is also Stern's helpless move!

"Uh...you mean??" Bruce's heart moved after hearing this, thinking of Wang Zhizhi's question, he suddenly understood Stern's intention!

"Our plans for Europe and Asia are a bit difficult for the time being!" Stern said with some annoyance. Originally, in his plan, the Asian side was not very eager to occupy the market, but when the NBA was planning to target the European market, After already carrying out some plans, what happened suddenly made him extremely depressed!
In Europe, basketball is not very important in some countries, but their favorite sport is the football league with a huge number of fans, which makes Stern's plan a little bit stranded!
Even though the NBA has selected some European players under Stern's suggestion, the few international players have not played a certain role at all. Instead, they are regarded by those guys as a bunch of sissies. Contest!
Listening to Stern slowly telling the whole story, Bruce couldn't help laughing: "You think Europe is so easy to "break"!"

"So, we really need your influence to promote the implementation of the plan!" Stern looked at Bruce with a serious face. Although this kind of pleading tone felt a little awkward, for the future of the alliance, he had to Not so!

"You...Are you kidding??" Bruce almost fainted. With his current status, although he is a "native-born" Chinese, he is currently only in the United States. Come on, asking him to promote the NBA in his current capacity is like listening to the Arabian Nights!
"Of course not!" Stern waved his hand depressingly, hesitated for a moment, thought of the plan he had made, glanced at the shocked Bruce, and said word by word: "We will arrange for the Warriors to play in that place next season." The mysterious country is launching a preseason match!"

"What??" Bruce was completely shocked. He didn't think Stern's arrangement was a joke, especially in this kind of cross-border competition. A level that Bruce doesn't want to touch!

"I promise!! You will definitely land on the land of that mysterious ancient country next season!!" Stern looked at Bruce seriously, and said with absolute certainty in his tone!
Judging from Stern's expression and tone, Bruce thought that the other party was crazy. Although the NBA in the previous life was extremely obsessed with expansion, it still waited nearly 20 years for China's publicity to develop a strong presence there. publicity!

In 88, Stern personally visited China as an ambassador, especially for a comprehensive understanding of basketball and CCAV headquarters!

From the perspective of China at the time, this kind of sport was not valued by them. On the contrary, the national football "ping pong" has always been at the top!
With the contact between Stern and Huaxia, NBA games were recorded on Huaxia's screen in the form of video after many years!
