Chapter 225 The anger caused by a dunk

Arco arena roared loudly, and all the fans cheered for the home team players who paid tribute to them with their superb skills!

Since returning to the field in the second quarter, the Kings have suddenly exploded with super attack power. Whether it is Divac or Webber, both of them have shown very gorgeous passing and cutting skills!
Seeing that the Warriors were temporarily suppressed by the Kings' fierce attack, Wilkens couldn't help but secretly frowned. After thinking for a while, he didn't choose to use a timeout to change the current situation!
Bruce frowned and looked at Wilkens and the situation on the court from time to time. Even he could see that the Warriors are now in a passive situation, let alone those old fans!

"Kick the asses of these Oaklanders!"

"Just do it, guys, and fuck 'em up!"

Amidst the shouts of excitement from the fans, the players of the Kings seemed to be infected, and everyone was active as if they had been stimulanted!

"Damn it!" Carter watched Webber hit another shot, glanced at Dirk Nowitzki who had worked so hard, and cursed secretly!

In the middle of the second quarter, the Kings had already widened the point difference between the two teams to 6 points by virtue of a collective explosion, and at this time Wilkens called a timeout after a dead ball!
Seeing the dignified and annoyed faces of the players, Wilkens couldn't help laughing: "Hehe, kids, you feel the pressure from the Kings!"

"Uh.."

Everyone looked up at the old man in astonishment when they heard Wilkens' words. In their minds, Wilkens would definitely make corresponding adjustments and arrangements for them, but now they suddenly heard Will When Kens said this, he couldn't help but froze there in astonishment!
"The execution of the Kings made them more perfect. After a season of practice, Rick also perfectly integrated the Princeton system into his own system!" Wilkens said with a smile, and then he was shocked by all the players. With a serious expression on his face, he said seriously: "Originally, I could have called a timeout before, but I didn't do that!!"

Everyone looked at Wilkens in disbelief, and was extremely surprised by his words.

"Do you know what the problem is?" Wilkens looked at the surprised players, pointed to his brain with a smile, and said unceremoniously: "You don't have brains at all, you don't think!!"

After hearing what Wilkens said, everyone couldn't help but fell into deep thought. When they looked up again, Wilkens said solemnly: "You have been brought into their rhythm by the Kings unconsciously, so Stagnating your thinking in the established emotions of competition and singles, I have to say that the smoothness of the Kings really surprised me!"

Carter and the others lowered their heads a little ashamed. They were really caught in a dead end because they couldn't open the offensive end before. No matter who they were, they seemed to be caught in a vicious circle on the offensive end, and they couldn't break out no matter what!

"Basketball cannot be won by one's own strength. What is needed is teamwork. Only when everyone participates and concentrates on completing tactical cooperation is the correct way to win the game, instead of stagnation and impatience after falling into the opponent's rhythm. !" Wilkens taught Carter and the others like a scholar, and saw the sudden appearance of the few people. They had already tasted the sweetness of the team battle last season, and they seemed to wake up like an epiphany!
"Sorry, Lenny!" Carter looked at Wilkens apologetically, then turned around and stretched out his right hand to look at his teammates, and said seriously: "Warriors!!"

The players superimposed their right hands on the back of Carter's hand one after another, a trace of solemnity flashed across their faces, and they shouted loudly: "Forward!!"

"drop!!"

As the flute sounded, the Warriors seemed to have changed teams, and everyone showed serious and solemn expressions!

"These guys have finally regained their original fighting spirit!" Bruce looked happily at Carter and the others who were full of strong confidence, then looked at Wilkens, and nodded excitedly when he found that the other party was also looking at him!

At this time, he fully understood what an old man brought!
Back on the court, Billups, who replaced Cassell, brought the ball to the frontcourt with a serious expression. After Wilkens' preaching just now, he really understood what the essence of basketball is!
Since getting Bruce's contract extension, Billups was surprised to find that his position made him very depressed after being overjoyed!

With his rich experience and selfless style of play, Cassell firmly occupies the main position. Although Billups has accumulated and learned for several seasons, he has always had difficulty letting go of his desire to attack. It made him spend the entire offseason in self-questioning!

Just now, following what Wilkens said, Billups finally understood what he couldn't figure out!
What a point guard needs is not crazy scoring, but to regard himself as the brain of a team. Only when the point guard is calm and direct, other players will always be in a smooth state!
"DEFENCE!!!"

As Billups steadily brought the ball to the frontcourt, "defense" was suddenly shouted in the arena!
When Carter saw Billups bring the ball to the left of the three-point line, he quickly ran towards him when Christie was slightly distracted!

As Carter and Billups passed by, the basketball instantly appeared in the hands of Carter, who was temporarily unguarded!

Seeing that Christie was about to catch up, Billups quickly crossed his hands in front of him, stood there firmly, and took advantage of the opportunity to cover Carter!

Seeing Billups' movements, Carter quickly glanced at the running positions of his teammates, and then headed to the inside to kill!
All the players of the Kings knew the powerful lethality of Carter's breakthrough. After seeing his rapid breakthrough, Divac and Webb moved a little in the direction of his breakthrough one after another!
Carter, who was running, saw a smile on the corner of his mouth after seeing the actions of the two of them. Then, when he was about to step into the penalty area and was intercepted by Divac, he threw a freehand throw to the basket in an instant!
"boom!!!"

Wallace understood the key when he saw Carter and Divac. When the basketball was about to fly to the left side of the basket, he stepped hard on the floor with his right foot, and followed his hands tightly Grab the basketball that is about to drop and dunk it into the hoop with a bang!

"Roar!!!"

Bruce looked at Wallace who was roaring wildly on the court, stood up excitedly, and vigorously agitated his hands! !
The arena suddenly fell into a state of silence, and all the fans looked at Wallace in shock, who looked like a beast coming out of the cage!

The big screen in mid-air of the stadium played back this explosive and somewhat crazy dunk again and again, as if this shocking picture could be frozen in this way only!
For a moment, the silence in the arena was suddenly broken by a small group of boos, and in an instant, there was a roar of boos in the arena!
Bruce looked at the confused fans around him with a smile, feeling indescribably proud!
Although this powerful dunk is very exciting, the game is still going on!

In the subsequent game, although the fans cheered wildly for the home team, facing the sudden burst of energy from the Warriors, the Kings suddenly fell into huge trouble!
Webber's mid-range shot was no longer easy, and Divac's pass also lost its effect under Wallace's close defense. Coupled with Williams' frequent pass mistakes, the Kings fell into huge tactical chaos in an instant. middle!

When the second quarter ended, Adelman angrily said something to the off-court players, while the Warriors were as happy as a holiday.

"Children, you have finally found the right path!" Wilkens looked at several people, and immediately gave them applause of relief and congratulations!
"Boss, if we don't wake up from you, we will still fall into ourselves, thank you very much!" Carter is the most famous star, and he is very grateful to Wilkens for what he has done before.

Bruce silently watched the changes in the Warriors. They suddenly seemed to be a little bigger, giving people a strong sense of self-confidence.

Returning to the locker room with a score of 56:49, Wilkens did not put pressure on the players, but relaxed and chatted with the players about some changes in tactics and offense and defense.

Adelman looked angrily at Webb and the others who bowed their heads and said nothing. For him, anyone in this league can lose, but they can't lose to the Warriors!
He still remembers the frustrating game last season that kept them out of the playoffs.

"Where did your concentration go? Was the previous smooth attack thrown into the Pacific Ocean?"

Listening to Adelman's unabated questioning, everyone remained silent.

"I don't care how slack you guys are on the defensive end, what I want is offense, guys, do you understand offense?" Adelman looked at the lifeless appearance of the players, patted himself on the forehead speechlessly, and shouted .

"Rick, we just..."

"Just what? Were you just scared out of your wits by a dunk?" Adelman looked angrily at the backup center Scott Pollard who wanted to defend himself, and then glanced at Webber and Divac who looked up. , Holding back his anger, he said: "That's just a somewhat exaggerated two-pointer. Could it be that this highly performative dunk made you hold back?"

"Sorry, Rick, this is my problem!" Divac looked at Adelman calmly. As the leader of the locker room, he must bear this responsibility, otherwise the players and Adelman will have an irreconcilable gap , this is not what he wants to see!

With Adelman's coaching in these three years, Divac has really seen the super-improvement of the Kings, which is the consequence of his unwillingness to see the above-mentioned problems!
"Okay, Verratti, this is not your problem!" Adelman said with some disappointment, then he cheered up and seriously explained to the players the tactics that will be adjusted in the second half!
