Chapter 41 "Black Whistle" from Home

After Bruce's cold-blooded words, he virtually put a layer of dignified pressure on the entire team.

Every player bowed his head in a serious expression, so why isn't Bruce talking about the most essential thing in this league?
What are they playing for?To prove yourself?In order to become a star or a millionaire as soon as possible?

No matter what the reason for entering the league is, everyone is thinking about it.

The entire Warriors locker room seemed to be filled with heavy pressure, even Carlesimo, who wanted to explain the tactics, was somewhat infected by this silent pressure!

Until the second half was about to start, Bruce, who was sitting in the corner, suddenly stood up.

"Guys, I know you don't want to do this!" Bruce looked at everyone one by one with a smile, and said in a gentle tone: "Everyone has their own dreams and aspirations, maybe my words are a bit cold-blooded, but why don't you come for your own? How about the last time you fought for your goals and dreams?"

After hearing Bruce's words, the Warriors players looked up with different expressions!
"I've also thought about this question, who am I?" Bruce smiled self-deprecatingly: "During the labor negotiations, although I did a lot of things, I sometimes wondered, why did I do this?" ? What is my goal in buying this team?"

"It must be to make money!" Starks, who has been in the league for many years, took it for granted.

"Yes, John is right!" Bruce did not deny his words. When he bought this team, he had this idea, just like opening a film company and trying to buy unsold sports. Film copyright in general.

"John, I will never deny that the owner of every team will not always make money-losing deals!" Bruce looked at the surprised players with a smile, nodded at them, and said, "Of course, except Portland's Paul, I don't think any team owner would care less than him!"

"Ha ha!"

A chuckle sounded after Bruce finished speaking, and the solemn atmosphere in the locker room also faded a lot in this laughter.

"So, just like your original intention of entering this alliance, I also have my own goals and ideals!" Bruce became more and more excited as he spoke. Shouted: "Why don't you do your work seriously for your own goals? Why don't you fight for your future and Qian Cheng once again?"

Bruce looked at the crowd with some excitement, pointed to the place where the Warriors team logo was printed, and shouted loudly: "This team has a glorious history, and there are not a few superstar players among them, but they are in every difficult game. Never backed down in any game, not even against a champion team in the entire league, never got depressed."

When he saw the players cheered up in his words, Bruce nodded secretly with satisfaction, and said seriously: "Everyone has his value, and everyone dreams of becoming a superstar like Michael (Jordan). "As he said, he paused: "But, gentlemen, Michael's talent is indeed important, but have you ever thought about what Michael's efforts are? Have you ever thought that Reggie (Miller) was once a Unsteady boy?"

"I don't think every team will keep a player who doesn't know how to work hard." Bruce looked at the crowd seriously, and said, "I admit that my requirements are a bit harsh, and I know In your current situation, the team has indeed gone through a drastic change, but you are all professional players, and every player knows the tactics in the NBA. So, why aren’t you working hard?”

"We just have some problems running in because we have more new teammates!" Terry Cummings, the big brother of the team, said with some dissatisfaction.

"Man, do you know why those stars with big contracts can get a sky-high contract?" Bruce didn't care about Cummings' answer at all, pointing to Marshall, and said: "Donyer's contract is an example!"

Marshall looked at Bruce with a strange expression, he was extremely puzzled why he pointed himself out at this time!
"You will definitely say that Tangyell is worth this price!" Bruce said with great certainty, then pointed to Ben Wallace, and said under the silent expression of the other party: "Then why can you get 5 per game? rebounds, playing very little playing time to get a salary close to the basic salary?"

Many Warriors players looked at Wallace strangely.

"Do you know how much effort and setbacks Ben has put in?" Bruce continued, regardless of everyone's expressions, "How many of you can understand Ben's feelings when he is not recognized by various teams and overseas?"

When everyone heard Bruce's words, they all showed complicated expressions. Billups, who had a relatively harmonious relationship with Wallace, even patted him on the shoulder, comforting him!

"Speaking so much, I don't care about you!" Bruce stood in the middle of many players and said with a serious expression: "What I want to tell you is that as long as you work hard, I will see everything Here, as long as you play with your own worth and a contract that satisfies you, I will not be stingy, even if this alliance is just a business, I will definitely provide you with a contract that matches your worth!"

The players of the Warriors looked at Bruce with a serious face in astonishment. Although this sentence was tantamount to saying nothing, after all, no boss would say it so openly.

In the minds of these players, a considerable number of American players use family poverty as part of their motivation, while those players with better backgrounds and talents care about honor.

"So, guys, I didn't make so many trades to show off and fight for the No. [-] pick this summer. What I need is results, what I need is your hard work, and I need you to make this team some Rescue the sinking team!"

Bruce's frank and honest words completely dispelled the depression of some players who were not optimistic about the future of this team.

It also makes those players who have just joined the league have an inexplicable expectation. Who doesn't want fame and fortune?

At the beginning of the second half, Carlesimo was brought into the original starting XI.

When the two teams confronted each other again, the Warriors' aggressive style of play and positive performance made the Rockets with a luxurious lineup feel extremely awkward for a while!

Whether it is Barkley, Olajuwon or Pippen, when they have the ball, the Warriors will definitely choose to stalk defense and double-team.

Even Jason Caffey, a guy who had lost his cool because of Barkley's provocation before, when Barkley took the ball again, he seemed to be a different person and entangled toughly.

The players of the entire Warriors team showed their greatest energy. With Starks' sorting out, the entire team's play style returned to the smoothness at the beginning.

Carter's dunk is still sharp, and Curry's three-pointer is also more decisive, including Dampier, who belongs to the floor, also completed two dunks under Olajuwon's defense!

When the third quarter ended, the Warriors relied on the strong energy of the players, and the score of the two teams was finally fixed at 70:69.The Warriors are only one point behind the Rockets, ending the quarter!
"Warriors guys don't know what happened at halftime, this team caused a lot of trouble for the Rockets in the third quarter, even the bench who was beaten by the Rockets in the second half of the second quarter You guys also exploded with amazing energy in this quarter!" The commentator said a little incomprehensibly, then looked at the data in his hand, his face suddenly changed, and said: "These rookies are simply the leading stars of the Warriors. , the German kid surprisingly got his first double-digit score, with his outside shooting, he scored 10 points with super high efficiency in just five shots."

"Not to mention VC, this candidate for the best rookie, relying on his own impressive combat power, in 28 minutes of playing, he scored a game-high 22 points, 4 rebounds and 3 assists. Level data, I have to say, Bruce's operation is extremely successful!"

Bruce looked excitedly at the few people who kept wiping sweat. Even he didn't expect these guys to show such a powerful explosive power!
Looking up at the data of the players of the two teams displayed on the big screen above the court, Bruce's thoughts became more and more firm!

With his positive attitude and soft touch, Nowitzki won the trust of Carlesimo among many players, and Billups and Wallace became the combination of young and old. Among them, a very stable rotation player!

With his keen sense of rebounding, Wallace surprisingly scored 15 rebounds and 7 blocked shots within 3 minutes of playing. Every time someone tries to enter the restricted area, he will definitely be caught. This tough guy held him tightly, and even Barkley had a taste of this guy's iron palm.

The entire Warriors team has a clear offense and defense, and the players also have some tacit understanding with each other, and they also choose to trust their teammates when passing the ball!
Looking at the Rockets on the other side, they were not so lucky.

Throughout the third quarter, only Olajuwon was fighting hard on the Rockets. Barkley's defensive laziness became his criticism throughout the third quarter. He, who hadn't fully recovered from his injury, also lost his sight under Mills' strenuous entanglement!
"Guys, your performance is amazing!" For the performance of the players, even Carlesimo, who has always been rigorous, couldn't help but praise: "In the next fourth quarter, the Rockets will definitely Adjust tactics, this section is also the moment for our decisive battle!"

"We are not what the damn media said before the game. We are the biggest X factor in this shrinking season. With our reasonable configuration, we are absolutely capable of accomplishing some incredible things. Let us completely subvert the media and others. The team's idiot idea!"

Carlesimo made some pre-war mobilization and cheered for the players with great enthusiasm.

Just as the media did not expect before the game, under the interference of Bruce, the BUG-level existence of the entire Warriors team, the entire Warriors team is accumulating strong energy towards that lofty honor, and the previous sinking can also be seen with the addition of Bruce to a bright future.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, the two teams put up a playoff-level confrontation, and non-stop physical contact became the main theme of this quarter.

Barkley's tough offense, Nowitzki's gritted teeth, every attack and defense can be called a strong confrontation like the last game of the playoffs!
In the confrontation between the two teams on the field, even the pickiest Houston fans shut up.

Including Bruce who was staring at the court with his eyes shining, everyone in the arena, whether it was the security guards or the service staff, was nervously watching this anxious game.

After the last 30 seconds of the fourth quarter, the Warriors used their tenacious style to tie the scores of the two teams again.

"drop!"

Carlesimo quickly made a pause gesture to the technical stage. He had already stood up and commanded, completely forgetting the disparity in this game. The only thing he wants to do now is to do everything possible to win this game !

"Guys, you must not relax in the next 30 seconds, the guys on the opposite side will not be reluctant to kick your ass!" Carlesimo looked at several super-performing players seriously, and pointed Pointing to the tactical board in his hand, he said a little excitedly: "Next, although this ball belongs to the Rockets, you must devote your greatest concentration to it."

Listening to Carlesimo's deployment, Bruce suddenly felt a bit of dignified pressure, and his originally excited mood was instantly suppressed by the atmosphere brought about by this final battle!

The two teams re-entered the field, and from the faces of the two players, Bruce saw extremely serious expressions. Just like Carlesimo said, this is the 30 seconds that will finally decide the battle, and it is also a time for many players of the Warriors. Key Growth Opportunity!

The referee wiped the sweat from his forehead, watched the players of the two teams entangled together, gestured to the two players who moved too much, then handed the basketball to Pippen on the sideline, and blew the horn for the final battle !

"drop!!"

Pippen watched his teammate's running position solemnly. When he saw Olajuwon who was covered by his teammate and ran out of the open space, he hurriedly passed the ball within the stipulated final serve time!

At the moment Wallace followed, Olajuwon pulled the basketball down with his super long arms!

Because Wallace's defense is very good, in the last 30 seconds, Carlesimo hesitated for a moment, then put Wallace, who has good speed and defense, into the lineup!

Wallace clings to Olajuwon tightly, harassing Olajuwon with his hands from time to time. When he tries to push Olajuwon away from the three-point line a little bit, the fast-running Pippen crosses Olajuwon Catch the ball in an instant!
Time passed by bit by bit, the Warriors tried their best to entangle with the Rockets players, and the range of movements also unknowingly increased in the tense game!

When the time came within 10 seconds, Barkley, who felt pretty good in this game, finally received a pass from Pippen!
Barkley was like a huge bulldozer, pushing forward a little bit. With 6 seconds left, because of the time limit of his back, he hurriedly passed the ball to Olajuwon who was standing in a high position waiting to respond.

Wallace, who was closely following Olajuwon, went to the scout without hesitation, but to his disappointment, Olajuwon received the pass with his long arm with a simple step!
After receiving the ball, Olajuwon had no time to adjust, and then jumped up!

"drop!!"

Just as Olajuwon raised his hands to shoot, a harsh whistle sounded!

The referee on duty raised his hands and signaled to the technical platform: "Warriors No. 41 pushed foul!!!"

"Wow!!!"

The fans who saw this scene erupted, and Bruce, who was sitting in the audience, stood up angrily: "MD, did you see Charles' damned elbow? Did you fucking forget your wife's RUFANG? ???"

Hearing Bruce curse loudly, the on-duty referee's expression turned extremely ugly, and he blew the whistle in his mouth very simply, and then pointed at Bruce with a very standard "expelled" gesture!
After receiving the signal from the technical desk, the stadium security hurried over and seriously "pleased" Bruce from his seat.

Bruce angrily pushed away the guard's hand, and the moment he left the field, he shouted loudly to Nowitzki, who looked disappointed: "Dirk, it's not your fault, you did a great job, we just Lost to the sixth man of the Rockets!"
