Chapter 214 The First Half

In the Hung Hom Stadium, all the fans are watching the upcoming game on the court, and they have great expectations for this game!

Not only hope that the "home team" of the Warriors will win, but also really want to see the demeanor of last season's championship. For a while, all the fans are a little bit tangled watching O'Neal and Dampier walk towards the center line!
"Guys, this game is very important to us. Mr. President doesn't want to see your ugly performance, so." The referee whispered a few words, and after getting the expressions of the players on both sides, he pointed to O'Neill and Dan. Pierre, immediately after a whistle, threw the basketball into the air with his right hand!
"Snapped!!"

The basketball was given to his teammates by O'Neal without any accident. Whether it is a Warriors player or a Lakers player, he has already seen the result of the ball possession issue in this game!

At the moment when the two sides jumped the ball, the Warriors players ran to the backcourt quickly!
After the Lakers traded in the summer, their lineup has become more and more exciting.

Now, they are playing center Shaquille O'Neal, power forward Horis Grant, who was just traded this summer, small forward Rick Fox, shooting guard Kobe Bryant and organization Linebacker Ron Harper!

Except for Grant, the Lakers' starting lineup is the team that won the championship last season.

The Warriors made some small changes. They sent Dampier, Nowitzki, Carter and Cassell to the field respectively. Because of the fierce competition for the small forward position, Wilkens made some adjustments. , bringing in Larry Hughes for further observation!

From his performance in the second half of last season, Hughes' offensive and defensive abilities are both top-notch. Although there are relatively sufficient personnel at the small forward position, he still relies on his hard training attitude and mature skills. Stay in the starting lineup all the time!
Marshall, while becoming Nowitzki's substitute, can also share some playing time at the small forward position, which makes the small forward position more crowded and competitive!
As Harper brought the ball to the frontcourt, the Lakers' triangle offense, which has matured a lot, suddenly started!

As a rookie, after joining the Lakers, with his own experience and the experience of playing against the Bulls and even the Lakers, Grant became familiar with the operation of this tactical system in a very short period of time!

I saw that when Harper dribbled the ball to the top of the three-point line, Grant ran to the high position very quickly!

As he ran, Harper handed the basketball to him under Cassel's harassment, and then ran to the left three-point line!
As Grant received the pass, other Lakers players suddenly ran!

Last season, I have fully appreciated the threat posed by the triangle offense. After a season of running-in, the Warriors players have some very good performance and experience in defense!
All the players on the court began to run. I don't know if it was a problem of jet lag. Under the defense of the Warriors, the Lakers have not been able to get an effective tactical organization!
When the basketball was finally handed over to Kobe, seeing that time was about to run out, after a series of fake moves, under Carter's tight defense, as his body jumped up, he threw the ball awkwardly with both hands!
"boom!!"

The basketball crossed an arc, and after a soft sound, it hit the back edge of the basket and flew towards the top corner of the penalty area!

It has long been observed that Kobe's shooting is a bit reluctant. When O'Neal was about to get stuck, Dampier turned over and resisted him behind him. Then even after the basketball flew, his right hand suddenly stretched out and grabbed the basketball into his arms. !
Seeing Dampier control the basketball in his own hands, O'Neal just shook his head with some regret, and then slowly ran to the backcourt!

Although the first round of the battle seemed a bit dull, this authentic NBA game still made all the fans cheer excitedly!
Throughout the first quarter, the two teams seemed to be unable to find the sight for a while, frequently missing basketball shots.

As they walked off the court one after another, although the two teams did not find a good breakthrough in this quarter, under the impact of the superstars of the two teams, Shaquille O'Neal and Carter, the two teams still drew 25:25 !
Looking at the slightly tired expressions of the players, Bruce couldn't help but secretly feel a headache for their jet lag!

"Children, I know you are struggling with jet lag, but you must keep your spirits up!" Wilkens said helplessly. As a head coach, he actually does not approve of the team traveling long distances to play games in foreign countries. But considering Bruce's factors and the requirements of the league, this has to make him feel very helpless!

"Next, we will use a set of small ball and triangle offense to open up the Lakers' defense." As he spoke, Wilkens put the previous helplessness behind him, and then began to write and draw on the tactical board stand up!
On the Lakers side, O'Neal, who was sitting in the rest area, suddenly called the team's masseur over!
Because of the toe injury, after a summer of championship celebrations and a lot of parties, O'Neal's surgery that was originally scheduled to be completed in the summer has not been implemented.

With the beginning of the season, although O'Neal is still fighting with injuries, he has been affected on both the offensive and defensive ends!
Seeing O'Neill's appearance, Phil Jackson couldn't help showing a trace of helplessness on his face!
"Gentlemen, the Warriors are a very good team. They have fully demonstrated their potential and talents last season!" Jackson looked at the players seriously, then picked up the tactical board, solemnly Said: "Their strong learning ability has brought us a great shock last season, so I need you to enter the state as soon as possible in this game."

Bruce quietly looked at the fans who spoke Chinese in a large number around him. Thinking of his loneliness in the United States, he felt that his whole body was surrounded by a huge friendly atmosphere, and he couldn't help being deeply intoxicated by it!

In the second quarter, after a short break, the players of the two teams returned to the court again!
The two teams looked very good mentally as soon as they played, as the players found their feeling one after another.

After one by one exquisite shots and super fake moves, bursts of cheers suddenly erupted in the arena, and the wonderful performance of the players of the two teams also made all the fans present hooked! !
It was the Warriors' turn to attack, and as Carter and the others ran slowly, under the confident command of Cassel, the players started running one after another according to the established tactics!
"This game is very important for the Warriors and Bruce. It's like another Warriors' home court, which puts them under some pressure from outside fans!" Smith fixedly stared at the court, glanced at the side and thought deeply Barkley immediately said: "From the first quarter of the game between the two teams, we can clearly see that the two teams were a little tired due to the time difference, but after they re-appeared in the second quarter, whether it is There are signs of recovery both mentally and competitively!"

"That's right, I hope that the Warriors will not disappoint the expectations of these fiery fans!!" Barkley took a serious look at the enthusiastic fans around him, and then looked at Carter who suddenly broke through Kobe and rushed to the inside on the court!
Seeing Carter's actions, all the surrounding fans were like local fans in Oakland. After Carter broke into the inside with the ball, they all stood up expectantly!

Carter pursed his lips resolutely. Although Kobe was closely following him, he had already made up his mind to give everyone a shocking performance. At the same time as the second zone, as the right arm raised the basketball high, the whole person flew towards the basket with a huge impact!

"boom!!!"

A loud bang sounded at the same time that Carter slammed the basketball into the hoop.

He tore a few times with one arm, and when he fell to the floor, Carter frantically tore his jersey in excitement and roared excitedly! !

"what!!!"

Seeing Carter's classic and powerful one-handed windmill, under the cheers of the fans in the arena, like boiling hot oil, they frantically waved the inflatable stick in their hands to Carter and shouted excitedly!
Bruce yelled and waved his arms to cheer for Carter when he roared loudly. For a moment, it seemed to bring him back to the time when he first met Carter and dedicated a slam dunk to him, Billups and others in the training hall during his rookie season. excited!
Under Carter's explosive dunk, O'Neill looked annoyed and shook his head helplessly!
In the following game, the Warriors, like a pack of crazy wolves, frantically attacked the Lakers' defense!
Although the Lakers seemed a bit difficult on the defensive end under the sudden burst of energy from the Warriors, they still resisted this wave of crazy offense with difficulty under the strong defense of several people!

When the second quarter ended, all the fans cheered wildly for the wonderful performance of the two teams!

"drop!!"

After a whistle sounded in the arena, the Warriors returned to the locker room excitedly with a 5-point advantage at 55:50.

"Boss, how's it going, isn't our performance so cool!!" Carter was very excited after the dunk in the first half, and now he returned to the locker room with a lead, which made him see After Bruce, he couldn't help being excited to show off!
"Beautiful, very beautiful, I am so excited about your performance!" Bruce couldn't help shouting loudly when he saw the excitement of the other players!

"Hahaha, Boss, it seems that the delicious Chinese food tonight must be gone!"

Before the game, Carter and the others tried their best to ask Bruce to take them to enjoy the delicious Chinese food, but after Bruce insisted on taking them out to enjoy the delicious food on the premise of winning, even though they felt a little regretful, the delicious Chinese food still made them happy. Suppressing the desire to drool, in order to use a victory to ruthlessly kill this "stingy" boss!
