Chapter 107 Rigorous and Powerful Spurs!
In the roaring cheers at the Spurs' home court, Bruce was like a thin boat, swaying and rolling with the waves!
Not to mention Bruce's shocked appearance, even the Warriors players who had experienced such excitement last season all looked around anxiously!
Among a group of anxious players, only Ben Wallace was not affected at all. Not only did he not pay attention to the surrounding situation at all, but he also stared at the "boss" David Robinson of the Spurs who was slowly coming onto the stage. ! !
Even with injuries and thick knee pads strapped to his knees, it doesn't hide the fighting spirit of this true warrior!
Knotted muscles, bulges like rocks, lean haircut and resolute eyes, David Robinson looks like a hero who is ready to go on the field to kill the enemy!
Bruce finally recovered a little from the gradually diminishing shouts of the fans in the audience, subconsciously wiped the sweat from his temples, took a deep breath, and sat down with some difficulty: "This...is this Is it the momentum of a great player??"
In the previous life, the media regarded David Robinson as a superstar of the era with both character and ability!
Just like what the media said, he will fight back against all those who doubt him with a tough performance, and even show a superman attitude that takes the overall situation into account!
If it weren't for the team's needs, this player who has been loyal to the Spurs throughout his career would never have recovered from his injury in the 96-97 season. He still ignored the irony of the outside world and chose to announce the decision to reimburse the season after only playing 6 games. !
Bruce thought of those things, but his mood was hard to calm down. Every superstar will not discard his honor and competitive spirit, let alone choose to compromise.
This is like a battlefield. No soldier will choose a seemingly humiliating way to temporarily leave the battlefield. They will only attack the enemy's defense line again and again, and declare the dignity of the strong in their own way!
Although Robinson's decision was severely humiliated by the outside world, the Spurs have gained the backbone of their team for more than ten years. Some people will say that Robinson is stupid, and some will say that the Spurs are shameless!
But what the entire league cannot deny is that although Robinson still retired in the end, they completely smashed those rumors and irony with their superhuman vision and the way Duncan was built as the cornerstone of the team!
"Who doesn't want to get a superstar player who can support an era!" Bruce fell into obsession for a while, even though the two voices in his mind kept arguing, he couldn't help but feel this kind of opportunity that can be met but not sought after. Fascinated by the big opportunity!
After the shock brought by Robinson, when the main players of the Warriors entered the arena one after another, the Spurs fans booed them one after another. From here, we can also see some huge "benefits" of the stadium!
The main force sent by the Warriors is center Dampier, small forward Chris Mills, power forward is still led by Dirk Nowitzki, who is gradually showing good potential, shooting guard is still Carter, and the position of point guard is still there. Starks play!
Bruce sat off the court and looked solemnly at the players of the two teams with different expressions on the court. Although the Warriors players tried their best to restore calm, the shock just brought them some mental pressure!
"drop!"
With the whistle of the referee, when the basketball in mid-air was easily pointed to his teammates by Robinson, the game between the two teams kicked off!
Avery Johnson brought the ball to the frontcourt with a calm face, looked at the running positions of his teammates, and then handed the basketball to Mario Elli standing on the right side of the three-point line!
As Eli gave basketball to Duncan in a high position, the entire Spurs were like a well-trained army, running neatly but without losing their aura!
Bruce looked at the Spurs on the court who executed their tactics in an orderly manner. Even if he didn't know the tactics very well, he could see the gap between the two teams in tactical execution!
Duncan turned over with a dull expression and looked at the young forward in front of him. He rarely smiled. Nowitzki's inexplicable expression flashed by, and he took advantage of the opportunity to hand over the basketball to Robinson step outside!
After receiving Duncan's pass, Robinson leaned back very skillfully. After testing Dampier's defensive strength, his whole body suddenly shook!
Dampier, who was already a little restless, pressed against Robinson's waist in a panic after feeling Robinson's movements.
When he was about to press hard, Robinson, who was extremely flexible, made a simple turn, leaning on Dampier and quickly dodged the shot space!
"Shh!"
The sound of clearing the net came from the loudspeaker. As the leader of the team, Robinson easily got the first goal after the opening!
Robinson's movements are as smooth and comfortable as a textbook in Bruce's eyes. Every shaking and extremely fast turning brought him a sense of comfort!
After getting this goal, the Spurs quickly ran back to the backcourt!
Starks ran forward with the ball in a serious manner. From the Spurs' offense just now, he clearly felt the pressure from the tactical system and the oppression of the Spurs' inside twin towers!
Dribbling the ball beyond the three-point line, Starks took a careful look at the running position of his teammates. Even though Johnson is not too young, his extremely fast interception still put some pressure on Starks!
On the other hand, the Warriors' offense seems to be a bit monotonous. The combination of air cuts, reverse runs and a little bit of pick-and-roll, judging from the slightly hasty movement of the players, is nothing like the orderliness of the Spurs!
Carter, who was constantly looking for opportunities, quickly got rid of Mario Eli's defense with his own good speed!
Seeing that Carter ran out of space, Starks hurriedly passed the ball, and then ran to the right corner!
After receiving the pass, Carter didn't stop at all. When Eli was about to take a defensive position, he resolutely chose the strategy of rushing inside by relying on his own strong first step!
"Vince seems to be a little inexperienced! Doesn't he know the power of the Spurs' twin towers?" George Gervin shook his head regretfully when he saw the decision made by Carter. After replenishing the defense, a trace of inexplicable expectation suddenly appeared in his eyes!
"Opportunity!!" Carter personally tasted the tough "hot pot" of Duncan and Duncan last season. Although he made a strong gesture this time, he is not as ignorant of changes as Gwen said!
Nowitzki had noticed Carter's movement for a long time. When he saw Duncan in front of him two steps away from him and blocking Carter's breakthrough route, he hurriedly turned around and quickly made a short cover for Carter. , Then ran outside the three-point line!
When Nowitzki just ran to the 45-degree position to the left of the three-point line, Carter, who was about to install Duncan, threw the basketball over without even looking at it!
Eri, who was following Carter, was startled when he saw the opponent's pass, and then hurriedly turned around and ran behind him!
However, he is still three steps away from Nowitzki, and he basically can't affect Nowitzki's shooting action!
Nowitzki jumped up high, habitually tilted his body backwards, his left leg was slightly higher than his right leg, and his hands were raised high. Immediately, a very high-arc projection shot, and the basketball passed across a line like With a rainbow-like arc, it easily plunged into the Nets!
"Shhh!!"
"Floating!!"
"Dude, you MD are awesome!!"
The cheers seemed to release the uneasiness in the hearts of the Warriors players. Following Nowitzki's goal, several of them ran over with excited expressions on their faces!
"Beautiful job!!" The seriousness on Bruce's face finally eased a little. Seeing Carter's choice, even though he knew that he was not the kind of "independent" star, but seeing his selfless delivery, he still loved the dunk. Guards guy was very pleasantly surprised!
"Aha!" Seeing Carter's pass and Nowitzki scoring a three-pointer neatly, George Gervin couldn't help but haha: "Ugh... This little guy has finally improved!!"
"Haha! George, I don't think you didn't say that!" The commentator sitting next to Gervin was not prepared to give the legendary Spurs star any face. Seeing the other party's embarrassed look, he suddenly haha Laughed out loud!
Although Nowitzki's shooting has brought back the confidence of the Warriors players, it is still a bit difficult compared to the tactically sophisticated Spurs!
As Duncan and Robinson went crazy one after another, after the Warriors chose to double-team, they kept running back and forth in the remaining three outside shots!
In the first quarter, the Spurs only used the attraction of the inside twin towers to give the Spurs a lot of shots from the outside!
Whether it is Johnson, who is not dominant in height, or Chucky Brown, a homeless man, plus Mario Elli, who is known for his shooting, only these three completed a three-pointer in the first quarter. !
Bruce glanced at the score board a little anxiously. Looking at the score of 25:16, the idea of feeling bad before the game suddenly became stronger in his heart!
In the second quarter, the two teams scored high and low as soon as they came on the field. Although Carter and the others still showed good efficiency, they only scored 15 shots in a single quarter before hitting 6 goals. The defense of the Spurs really impressed these guys. It's stressful!
Popovich looked at the players on the Warriors side of the field with twinkling eyes, especially the Marshalls who paid the most attention!
Although there are some problems with the Warriors' tactics and Carlesimo's on-the-spot command, the abilities of these people cannot be ignored!
After two quarters of the game, the Spurs ended the first half with a 56:45 lead over the Warriors by 11 points thanks to their tough defense and rigorous execution!
Although the Warriors once attacked the Spurs in the middle of the second quarter by virtue of Carter's impact and Nowitzki's shooting, when the main players of the Spurs appeared on the field, the two who were already feeling a little tired suddenly got the Spurs. Strict defense of the team!
Back in the locker room, Bruce walked in right after him. Seeing the players silent and depressed, he couldn't help but feel a little helpless in his heart!
"Guys, you have performed very well!" Bruce looked at the players, subconsciously glanced at Carlesimo, who was not in a good mood, sighed secretly, and then said in a vibrating voice: "The Spurs are indeed the defending champions. , they are also very powerful."
Bruce's words finally caught the players' attention, and as Bruce continued to speak, the players regained some confidence!
"I know what you are thinking now, but I don't want to see you look like you have already lost a game, and I don't want you to be hit by the Spurs to lose confidence!" Bruce looked at the crowd seriously, They stared at each other one by one, and said: "You are younger than them, and your physical fitness is stronger than these old guys. Why can't you make them respect you by virtue of your own advantages? Don't tell me you have forgotten when you fell into the rhythm of the Mavericks last time?" How to fight back??"
Hearing Bruce's words, the eyes of the players who had regained a little confidence suddenly lit up, and even Carlesimo, who had an ugly face beside him, bowed his head thoughtfully!
The second update, ask for various tickets and subscriptions!
Thank you, old wolf!
