Chapter 224 Sacramento

After Bruce and Wilkens laughed out loud, they suddenly fell silent!
"If we have some problems this season, what kind of impact will it have on our record?" Bruce said with some concern, frowning at Wilkens.

"At present, the overall atmosphere of the team is not bad, but you know this will only be temporary!" Wilkens said with some seriousness, then put the document bag on the table, and took out a copy The file was slowly pushed over!
"This is?" Bruce took it with some doubts, and when he saw the information on it, his face suddenly became gloomy!

Since Hughes joined the Warriors, although he has been very exciting on the offensive end, his poor performance on the defensive end and his slack and slack emotions from time to time can't help but annoy Wilkens!
Because he had to consider the long-term plan of the Warriors, he tried every means to correct Hughes' problem, but as Hughes gradually showed a slack and more sloppy attitude, Wilkens was depressed and at the same time, this will His question asked Bruce!
"How could he?" Bruce said in disbelief. In his opinion, although Hughes' current state and position are a bit embarrassing, his position in the Warriors still seems a bit important.

"Hehe, I'm so conceited!" Wilkens smiled self-deprecatingly, and then said slowly: "I originally wanted to correct his problems, but as time went by, the attacker But gradually deviated from the correct track!"

"Sorry." Bruce touched his nose in embarrassment. If anyone knows the players best, it must be Wilkens, not the owner of his team!

"Well, it seems that we have to think of something!" Bruce pondered for a while, thinking of the possible problems of the team, he couldn't help but secretly made up his mind!
On November 11, when the Warriors and Lakers returned to the United States on the third day, after the Warriors players recovered their energy, they took a chartered flight to Sacramento in the morning!

"The game between the Warriors and the Kings must be an exciting game. With the Warriors' explosive energy in the China game, they will definitely become the biggest dark horse in the West this season!"

"And the Kings have given us a huge surprise at the beginning of this season with Rick Adelman and the tacit understanding of many players. The game between them will be a changeable, gorgeous and exciting game. the match of!"

Just as Bruce and the players got off the plane, the bus sent by the Kings drove over slowly.

"Bruce, I think this game will be very interesting!" Wilkens said playfully with a hint of excitement.

"Oh? What do you say?" Bruce looked at Wilkens with some doubts, and then the two walked slowly to the bus!

"Did you forget last season's playoffs?" Wilkens laughed and entered the bus, leaving Bruce standing there in amazement thinking.

Last season, because of the competition for the playoffs between the two teams, although the Warriors won the last seat in the playoffs with the last victory, if it weren't for Weber's injury and Adelman's experimental tactics, the Warriors would definitely He will not enter the playoffs so easily, but will leave sadly when he touches the gate of the playoffs for the first time!

"Resentment? Aha, I like this kind of gimmick!" Bruce pondered for a moment, and after understanding the meaning of Wilkens' words, he entered the bus expectantly!
Sacramento, the state capital of California, grew out of gold mines and continued to prosper as a center for the agricultural trade as the mines dried up.

The economy is based on food processing, agriculture, animal husbandry, printing, high-tech manufacturing, computers, aerospace industry and military industry.

Although their aerospace and military industries are not as large as those of Houston, this city has still become one of the most prosperous cities in California!

Taking the bus to enjoy the scenery along the way, Bruce can't help but fall into the memory of this team in his previous life!

In the previous life, under Adelman's training, the Kings gradually grew into a gorgeous but elegant team!
The main players of the team have become one of the most popular players in the league.

Jason Williams' unbelievable passing, Webber's powerful all-round skills, coupled with Divac's superb support from the high position, made the Kings a fan favorite team in the early [-]th century!
In Bruce's memory, the bus slowly drove into the hotel designated by the league. Although there were a large number of media outside the hotel, the Warriors players who were already a little tired of them did not make any fuss, but hurried into the hotel !
At 8 o'clock in the evening, when Bruce followed the Warriors players out of the door of the locker room one after another, the cheers in the court came to their ears little by little!

"The Maloof brothers are really a pair of shrewd bosses!" Wilkens thought of the performance of the Kings in the previous few games, and couldn't help admiring the pair of brother bosses!

During this offseason, although the Kings seemed a little low-key, their series of small transactions and personnel renewals still allowed them to gradually reach a very high level in terms of tactical integration while maintaining a stable lineup!
As the players from both sides walked out of the player tunnel one by one, cheers erupted in the current smallest arena in the NBA!
With the Kings' gorgeous play and impressive record in previous games, all fans seem to have seen the revival of this team!

Entering the players, Bruce's first impression is to feel a breath of history!

Because the local government only spent 4000 million U.S. dollars when building this arena, so this arena is a bit out of place and small in terms of hardware and seats in today's 21st century!

Sitting behind the Warriors dugout, Bruce first subconsciously glanced at the Kings side, and then waited quietly!

"drop!!"

After a flute sounded, under the enthusiastic cheers of the fans, the main players of the two teams walked towards the court one after another!
I don't know if it was the "grievance" between the two teams last season. After the main players of both sides came on the field, Bruce found that the atmosphere between them seemed to have some kind of dignified meaning!
"Dude, it was just your luck last season, what about now!! Huh!~" Jason Williams looked coldly at Kassel, who was a little stunned, and then walked aside!
Divac and Dampier walked to the center line one after another, and then even under the signal of the referee, as Dampier tapped the basketball with his finger first, the game that most media expected began immediately!
Looking at the basketball in mid-air, Cassel, harassed by Williams, snatched the ball into his arms, and then ran forward helplessly!

The two have been chattering nonsense nonsense, when Cassel handed over the basketball to Carter, the other players of the Warriors suddenly started to mobilize!
After a high-intensity confrontation with the Lakers, the Warriors have gradually found a tactical system that suits them!
Under Wilkens' research, he found that these young guys played very well with the combination of small ball tactics and triangle offensive tactics, which made him gradually integrate the two offenses after research in the offseason. After the integration, with the players adapting very quickly, it gradually became a fixed tactic on the offensive end.

Carter looked at Doug Christie with his arms wide open in front of him. He still felt some pressure when facing this active player!
Bruce looked at the field calmly, and looked at the players who were very familiar with the Kings in his previous life, and couldn't help but feel a burst of emotion in his heart!
Christie is closely following Carter. Since joining the Kings this offseason, he wants to use his positive attitude to get more playing time, which also makes him work very hard on defense!

Carter dribbled the ball and kept cruising outside the three-point line, watching the team gradually open up the space, and then stopped on the right side of the three-point line. After Christie took a step forward cautiously, with his shoulders Shaking, after the left foot stepped out quickly, at the moment when the opponent was about to get close to the body, with good speed, he rushed towards the inside like a gust of wind!
Seeing Carter's movements, everyone knew what he was going to do. Divac, who was standing in the high position on the left, and Stojakovic, who was in the bottom corner on the right, quickly chased Carter!

Seeing the actions of the two, Carter did not choose to stop, but ran towards the restricted area as usual!
Seeing that Carter is about to get the space to rise into the air, Divac, who is closer to the penalty area, has no choice but to try his best to chase Carter with big strides!
The Kings were a little slack in defense. After Carter soared into the air, everyone looked at Carter who was about to complete a slam dunk in annoyance.

"boom!!"

When Divac was about to catch up, Carter relied on the impact of acceleration while running, raised his right arm high, and suddenly dunked the basketball into the basket! !
Bruce looked at Carter who was laughing on the court, and was extremely excited about this guy's super dunk performance!

Weber took a hard look at Carter, who was celebrating with his teammates, quickly passed the basketball to Williams, and then ran forward with a blank expression!

As the leader of the team, Webber will naturally receive the pass immediately.

As Williams brought the ball upfield, Webb immediately received his pass in the high post on the left!
Nowitzki followed closely in front of Weber, because he had played against the opponent many times in the previous seasons, and he was very afraid of Weber's ability, so he posted it with his hands wide open!

Feeling the power that Dirk Nowitzki was imparting to him beside him, a trace of sarcasm flashed in Weber's eyes, and then he grabbed the basketball with both hands. The impressive speed among the forwards broke through Nowitzki's defense with just one touch!

Seeing Weber's movements, Marshall, who was standing in the left corner, quickly ran towards him. However, as Weber confidently threw the basketball, Marshall's movements were obviously useless!

Bruce helplessly watched Webber's gesture of raising his hands high in celebration. He couldn't help admiring the super power forward's ability while worrying about Nowitzki!

As this season unfolds, Webber has used his super performance to launch the most powerful declaration to the entire league!

In the previous airport game, Webber averaged 27 points, 13 rebounds and 5 assists. He used his perfect performance to fight back against those who questioned him!

As the stars of the two teams scored one goal after another, a series of wonderful offensive and defensive games were launched between the two teams!
Here Kassel just broke through with his own weird rhythm, and Stojakovic over there will immediately return a precise emergency stop jumper.

As the first quarter gradually came to an end, with a good performance on the defensive end, the Warriors still led the Kings by 2 points!
