Chapter 40 The Essence of the Alliance!



Chapter 40 The Essence of the Alliance!
In the second quarter, the two teams were dominated by rookies and veterans with many years of NBA experience.

The Warriors lineup has a large number of rookies. Except for Curry, a veteran, the longest-serving player in the NBA is Donyell Marshall, who just got a high-priced contract.

On the side of the Rockets, the person Bruce is most familiar with is Mobley.

As soon as the two teams played, they started an endless attack!

As if the players of both teams gave up their defense, what caught the audience and Bruce's eyes the most was the duel between Carter and Mobley!
"Dude, do you know why you're only a second-round pick?" Carter held the ball in his right hand, made a three-threat move, winked at Mobley playfully, and then stepped forward with his left foot!
"VC, have you forgotten the matchup in college?" A flash of anger flashed in Mobley's eyes. Knowing Carter's style of play and habits, he opened his hands as hard as he could, and quickly pressed his body towards him!

"Hehe! It's the NBA now!" Carter flashed an extremely confident smile on his face, and continued to test with his left foot. Mobley's left burst!
"VC's breakthrough is still extremely threatening. It is worthy of being called one of Michael's (Jordan) successors!" Very strong favor!
Carter broke through Mobley's defense with his extremely fast first step, and then made a big stride from the center line to the penalty area!
Seeing Carter's action, the Rockets' defense players quickly blocked the center line.

"This guy really is!" Bruce looked helplessly at Carter, who was struggling to jump. Although he knew a lot about Carter in his previous life, what this guy is doing now is really like the comments on those articles!
Carter is a slam dunk maniac whose mind and body are violent at the same time. Once he steals the ball or gets a chance to dunk, you will definitely stand up from your seat, hold your breath and wait quietly for Carter's beautiful and violent dunk. !
And now Carter is trying to complete the violent dunk that is stuffed into the basket across the Rockets players!
"Wow!!!"

All the audience shouted in surprise, they have never seen this dunk without hesitation again, and they also took a very enjoyable dunk!

Stretched body, explosive bounce, coupled with extremely strong explosive power, Carter's shocking dunk instantly detonated the entire arena!

The fans who were still slightly hostile to the Warriors, after being surprised, especially the young fans, instantly burst out with their greatest energy to cheer for this wonderful dunk! !
"Dude, you did a damn good job!"

"Dude, I'm in college with this guy!"

A burst of applause spread from the auditorium, from a few people to dozens of people, and finally hundreds of people cheered loudly, which fully demonstrated how infinitely charming Carter is!

"God! This guy is crazy!" The narrator shouted excitedly. Although he was hired by the Rockets, his neutral attitude when explaining made him very excited about Carter's performance!
Bruce silently watched Carter and his teammates celebrate. For a moment, he seemed to see a bright future for the Warriors. Only the flashes of light in his eyes from time to time showed that his heart was calm and surging now!
After Carter's burst dunk, the entire Warriors burst out with extremely strong attack power and concentration!
Because of their youth and status as substitutes, these young players all want to make a contribution that satisfies Carlesimo in their own time.

Billups calmly brought the ball to the frontcourt, and cast a glance at Carter who was running back and forth excitedly. As a player who has been to several teams, he has gradually gained a little understanding of his position.

From the pride of being the No. [-] pick at the beginning, to becoming a role player who added to the trade, what happened this year has really made Billups mature a lot!
Handing the ball to Curry on the left three-point line, Billups quickly ran to the right 45 degrees!
Curry catches the ball, as a veteran who has been in the league for many years, especially a plug-and-play microwave player like him, he will definitely explode his due ability when needed, and now Curry, out of the team's Purpose, when Carter flew past him, he pretended to pass to him, and after attracting the attention of the defender, relying on his understanding of tactics, he threw the ball to the left corner without even looking at it!

In this position, Marshall has been waiting for a long time.

Marshall, who has a pair of long arms, pushed the ball out in a very standard manner. Since Bruce took over, he thought he could be in the top position, but until the beginning of this season, he still played as a substitute. With 15 points and 4 rebounds, he felt extremely awkward and resentful!

"Shh!"

A crisp sound came from the loudspeaker, and Matt Brad, who was defending Marshall, patted his head in great annoyance!

"What a pity!" Bruce looked at the goal with some regret. Although Marshall is a very good player, he hindered Nowitzki's growth after all.

In Bruce's plan, Nowitzki was the embryonic form of one of the "Big Three", but after these few transactions, the time required for his growth has been compressed a lot. This is also Bruce's operational problem.

Originally, he could avoid a large amount of hoarding in a certain position, but he had to accept those bargaining chips in the transaction in order to get what he wanted. Therefore, now he can only look forward to the end of this shrinking season to complete the slimming and The beginning of change!
In the second quarter, the Warriors, relying on several rookies from Carter and Curry's three-pointers, once chased the score to only 1 point. It was not until 6 minutes into the time that the Rockets began to make large-scale substitutions!

The Warriors also replaced Dampier, Nowitzki and Mills after the Rockets replaced the main players!

Putting on this mixed lineup of main players and substitutes, Carlesimo became the focus of the entire stadium!

"Don't this guy know how stupid it is to do this?"

"Of course, I'm sure Sir Charles will kick that German's ass off!"

"Aha! Although Carlesimo tonight did not do such crazy things yesterday, after all, after all three legendary stars played, he still failed to send all his main players on the field!" The commentator was extremely quick As he told the audience, he couldn't help but feel a little ironic about Carlesimo's "perfunctory" substitution!

And Carlesimo's substitution also received a painful lesson in the last 6 minutes of the second quarter!

Olajuwon's iconic "dream dance", Pippen's sharp breakthrough and shooting, coupled with Barkley's tough style of play, the entire Warriors looked a little shaky under the ravages of the Rockets!

In the entire lineup, only Curry is maintaining a continuous three-pointer that does not collapse.

Billups once fell into a weird rhythm of mistakes, and Nowitzki was basically blown up when he was facing Barkley because of his poor confrontation ability, even though he scored 5 points with a good shot , was still severely mocked by Barkley for his "soft" style of play!

When the second quarter ended, the entire Warriors team was in huge trouble. Mills, who usually scored extremely stable, was followed by Pippen and ended the second quarter with a sluggish 6-of-0 shooting.

In Olajuwon's gorgeous dance steps, Dampier could only be honest and grab a few rebounds by virtue of his sense of rebounding.

At the end of the halftime, Bruce came to the locker room frowning, and looked at the dejected guys. He was a little annoyed, but he chose to suppress himself!
"Guys, has your fighting spirit been eaten by dogs? Where is your fighting spirit before the game? Where is your ambition?" Carlesimo roared wildly, completely disappointed with the performance of these people .

"PJ!" Bruce reached out and interrupted Carlesimo's roar, frowned and looked at the ugly faces, and said, "Each of you has your own characteristics and potential. When I get you into the team, I was so pleasantly surprised, and now, I don't get to see you guys surprise me and the Warriors fans!"

Dampier, who was sitting on the stool with his head bowed, suddenly raised his head, saw Bruce's serious face, finally opened his mouth and still couldn't refute!

"You are completely lost in your own circle on the field, and everyone completely selectively forgets their teammates!" Bruce couldn't bear the depression of these people, and then pointed out the crux of their blow-up: "You have to observe and understand that even though this shrinking season is a bit difficult, you must integrate into the team and the system as soon as possible!"

Although Bruce's potential lines were not uttered, coming to the world-class stage of the NBA made them already understand the essence of this league.

Trading is something every team is doing non-stop, and a player who has never been integrated into the tactical system can imagine the final fate, even if it is a superstar, if he still cannot integrate into the team.Well, unless he is the kind of top superstar who deserves to go to great lengths to create a team for him, for ordinary stars, all of this is just a business!

Several players looked at the serious Bruce with complicated expressions. Judging from the meaning of his words, as long as they are in this state, then the deal that comes at any time will be their end!

When Bruce said these words, he didn't all target these few players who didn't perform very well. When he said such words, he also told all the players in the team to listen!
