Chapter 221
The locker room of the Warriors was harmonious, and everyone was silently preparing!

"Chris, how do you maintain your hit rate?" Billups stuffed the last piece of apple into his mouth, ate it very quickly, and asked curiously!

"It's impossible to maintain a high shooting percentage all the time. It depends on whether you work hard to maintain your shooting posture and intuition for shooting!" Mullin thought for a while, then said slowly and seriously.

"Uh... To be honest, although my shooting is not bad, but sometimes it is difficult to guarantee the hit rate, which makes me very distressed!" Billups clapped his hands angrily.

"Hehe, it's just that you haven't experienced the fun of shooting for a while!" Mullin looked at Billups with a smile, then put the snack in his hand aside, paused and continued: "A good shooter is not Just use endless training to improve the hit rate, their intuition is very scary!"

Thinking of Reggie Miller, Mullin couldn't help feeling scared for a while: "Reggie is a natural killer. Although his shooting percentage in the first three quarters and even the first half of the fourth quarter was not very high, the killer he showed in the fourth quarter Traits would be a very scary thing!"

"Reggie?" Billups murmured longingly, and then a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in his mind: "Reggie has a very strong sense of shooting, just like the feeling I feel every time I face him. Thought he would attack and shoot all the time!"

"So, the intuition and temperament of an excellent pitcher are very important things!" Mullin took over the conversation with satisfaction, and then said with great appreciation: "You have shown the characteristics of an excellent pitcher. If you can Combining movement and intuition with my own efforts is simply the most exciting thing!"

Billups looked at Mullin excitedly, thinking of the combination of the two factors, he couldn't help but feel a little eager to try!

"Guys, it's time for us to play!!" Hearing the knock on the door, Carter quickly finished his last sip of drink and shouted excitedly!
inside the stadium.

Bruce watched the programs full of Chinese charm on the court, and explained some allusions to Charlize Theron from time to time!
"So, the lion dance has gradually become one of the essential programs for major festival celebrations and opening ceremonies!" Bruce watched the lion dance gradually coming to an end on the field, and gave Charlize Theron a final explanation!

"Wow, this is so cool, don't they think their performance is very exciting?" Charlize Theron couldn't help admiring the other person who was bending and jumping behind the lion head on the field. Said.

"Haha, it's like playing ball. Could it be that Vince and the others will get bored?" Bruce laughed and hugged her into his arms, and slowly looked towards the player's tunnel!
Although the halftime program was very exciting, all the fans in the arena seemed a little absent-minded, looking at the players' aisles on both sides from time to time!
"drop!!"

With the sudden sound of the flute in the stadium, the players of the two teams slowly walked out of the player tunnel amidst the excited cheers of the fans!

"Man, these fans are amazing!" Looking at the excited and cheering fans around, Carter said extremely excitedly!

"That's right, this is the most exciting fan I've ever seen!" Nowitzki nodded in agreement, and then kept waving his arms to the surrounding fans!

After the players of the two teams went to their respective rest areas, they stopped for a while, and then walked to the court first under the referee's signal, and started warming up!

"These two games are the best season-opening games I have ever seen. The Warriors and Lakers have contributed wonderful performances to everyone!" Smith recalled the details of yesterday's first game with great emotion, and couldn't help but Such an exclamation.

"Everyone can see the changes in the Warriors. Since Bruce took over the team, they have grown into a strong contender for the playoffs step by step!" Barkley looked at Charlize Theron in the distance Bruce, who was joking, couldn't help but admire him very much!
"The growth of the Warriors is phenomenal. With his shrewd vision, Bruce has brought high-quality and even superstar potential rookies to this team. No one doubts the ultimate potential of Vince and Dirk!" Smith said enthusiastically Discuss with Barkley.

When the two discussed Bruce and the Warriors with each other, under the signal of the referee, the players of the two teams walked off the court one after another.

"Children, use your best performance to pay tribute to these fans and this great country!" Wilkens stretched his right hand to the middle of the players and shouted vigorously.

"clear!!!"

As many players put their right hands on top of each other one after another, after Carter and the others stepped onto the court again, the second half of the game kicked off with a bang!
Harper received a pass from Grant and steadily brought the ball to the frontcourt!

Through the first half of the game, Harper suddenly found himself really old!

In the confrontation with Cassell, Billups and others, although he can deal with them one or two with good experience, as time goes by and in the face of the two fast-following defenses, he really I really feel what a lack of physical strength is!
O'Neal looked at Harper fixedly, and when he brought the ball to the three-point line, he quickly glanced at Grant's position on the left, and then resolutely lifted it up, covering for Harper!

"The Lakers once again launched a triangle offense. Judging from Shaquille's actions, it is obviously much more determined than in the first half!" Smith looked at the scene on the court and nodded with a smile!
"That big fat guy doesn't want to lose face twice in this place, he's the MVP!" Barkley said playfully as he looked at the field.

Under the cover of O'Neill, Harper, relying on his sudden burst of speed, staggered towards the inside very quickly!
Seeing Harper's movement, in order to slow down the opponent's pace, Dampier could only temporarily abandon the defense against O'Neill, and quickly chased forward!
When Marshall saw Harper's movement, he subconsciously took a step, and then quickly followed behind Fox with some worries!

Under Dampier's pursuit, Harper didn't go straight to the basket for the first time. He didn't want to eat a delicious hot pot!

The moment he stepped into the penalty area, Harper swung his right hand back extremely quickly, and then handed the basketball to O'Neal who was still standing high!
In desperation, Cassel could only stick to O'Neill's side with his arms wide open and harass him!

If O'Neal were Grant, he could already shoot, but who called him a big shark?

Seeing such a scene, Grant and the others quickly ran to the left and inside!

Seeing the actions of the two, O'Neal first handed the basketball to Grant who ran to the high position on the left, and then ran to the inside very quickly!

Grant took the ball, first looked at the running position of his teammates, then turned around suddenly, and put his back against Nowitzki behind him. After testing, seeing that there was no shot angle, he threw the basketball to the basket with a heart s position!

"boom!!!"

O'Neal, who had already run to the basket, entangled with Dampier for a while, saw Grant's pass, and then even after a classic turn, raised his hands high, and smashed hard at the moment he received the basketball. up the basket! !
"Roar!!"

O'Neill roared wantonly, as if this alley-oop had vented the previous grievances, and the whole person gave people a great sense of oppression!

Dampier looked at O'Neill who was like a bully with flickering eyes, thinking of the unstoppable dunk just now, he couldn't help touching his knee subconsciously!

"Damn it!" Seeing O'Neal's dunk, Bruce couldn't help shouting inwardly with worry!

If O'Neal is allowed to wreak havoc in the interior, the Warriors will definitely have a very difficult game in the future.

But when he saw the expressions of Dampier and others, he couldn't help worrying about the next game!
"drop!!"

I don't know if Wilkens saw some signs like Bruce, and hurriedly asked for a timeout from the technical table to relieve the pressure O'Neal put on the Warriors!

"Children, there is no doubt about Shaquille's strength. What we need is not to be afraid, but to bravely rush forward and bite fiercely!" Wilkens looked at Carter and the others seriously, especially at Dampier's The face paused for a moment!
Not only did Bruce see the opponent's actions just now, Wilkens also noticed this small detail!

Since he was injured last season, Dampier didn't know if he was affected by the injury, and he seemed a little timid in training, but now he suddenly saw him again, which made Wilkens very worried!

"Understood!" Carter and the others shouted loudly.

Since defeating the Lakers in the last game, the self-confidence of Carter and the others has grown considerably. Although this game is much more difficult than the previous game, they are still tight with their good physical reserves and enthusiasm. Bite the score of the Lakers!

They understand the importance of these two games to Bruce, and they don't want to make Bruce feel depressed with a loss!
With the two teams back on the court, the Warriors were very aggressive throughout the third quarter after being cautious at the beginning!
When the third quarter ended, the Warriors still tied the Lakers with Carter and his team's unremitting active defense!

Back off the court, everyone listened to Wilkens' arrangements with solemn expressions!
"In the fourth quarter, the Lakers will definitely burst out with strong energy. They have gradually found their sense, so I hope you can be more active in defense!" Wilkens wrote seriously on the tactical board After a while, even under the signal of the referee, the players of the two teams started a fierce competition one after another!

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, the two teams burst out with huge energy, and frequent physical contact caused frequent fouls on both sides!
When Carter was sent off with six fouls, there was a sudden burst of boos in the arena!

"Vince is sent off, the Warriors will definitely suffer a huge loss!" Barkley finally became serious!
"That's right, with Vince leaving the field, Lenny will be forced to make huge changes in tactical arrangements. Fortunately, Dirk's foul control is not bad!" Smith also responded to the Warriors like Barkley. Worry up!

Bruce looked solemnly in the direction of the Warriors' rest area. With Carter being sent off, the Warriors' backup shooting guard could only send Hughes, who was slightly insufficient in defense, on the field!
If Hughes uses his active running to defend, no matter how Kobe plays it, he will definitely feel very awkward, which will give the Warriors a little extra in winning the final victory.

But Hughes, who has always been slack on the defensive end, can really be as Bruce expected?

In the following games, Hughes used his poor defense time and time again to allow Kobe to easily break through or pass or shoot. His gap instantly disrupted the entire Warriors' defense, so that O'Neal frequently hit hooks in Dampier's defense!
When the fourth quarter entered the last 3 minutes, the Lakers instantly opened the score with a wave of 8:0 spurts by virtue of Kobe's high-post shot!
Cassel solemnly brought the ball to the frontcourt, glanced at the expressionless Hughes with some complaints, and then ran to the right three-point line!
Seeing Kassel's actions, the rest of the players ran quickly!
If Hughes is as disappointing on the offensive end as on the defensive end, the Lakers will definitely not be only 8 points ahead of the Warriors. Fortunately, he is still efficient on the offensive end!

As the players kept running, they finally got a chance outside the left three-point line!
Nowitzki received Cassel's pass steadily, quickly glanced at Grant who was two steps away from him, then took a deep breath, raised his hands high, and the basketball took a very high parabola Fly to the position of the basket!
"Shhh!!"

Nowitzki waved his arms excitedly, and finally relaxed his tense nerves a little!
With Nowitzki's shot, when the two teams played in the last 30 seconds, with a stable shooting rate on the offensive end, the Warriors fell behind by three points 95:98 and returned to the field after Wilkens' timeout Down!
The wonderful performance between the two teams made all the fans in the arena very happy. Although the Warriors fell behind temporarily, they still cheered for them with the loudest volume!

"The last 30 seconds, we need a quick three."

Following Wilkens' arrangement, other Warriors players nodded solemnly!

When the two teams re-entered the field, Billups quickly dribbled the ball forward after replacing Cassell!
According to Wilkens' arrangement, Billups first handed the ball to Hughes very quickly, and then galloped all over the court!
After receiving the pass, I don't know if Hughes was a little nervous, but after a short pause, he shot the basketball in an astonishingly quick shot!

Everyone who saw this scene opened their mouths wide and watched the basketball fly crookedly towards the basket, and Bruce stood up in surprise!
"boom!!"

After the basketball hit the backboard and rebounded, O'Neal, with his super strength, while stuck Dampier, raised his hands high, and blocked the basketball into his arms!
"Snapped!"

Dampier slapped the basketball out of O'Neill's hands, and when he was about to pick it up, following the referee's whistle, he walked off the court with a displeased expression and a depressed look on his back with five fouls on his back!

Bruce looked nervously at O'Neal who was walking towards the free throw line. Although the Warriors still had a chance in theory, with O'Neal's astonishing two free throws, everyone knew what the final result would be!
"drop!!!"

Although fouls and serves were repeated in the next 20 seconds, after the whistle sounded for the final game, the Warriors still lost the game by 4 points!
Looking at the disappointed fans around, Bruce smiled happily!
