Chapter 241 The end of November

Bruce looked at the big screen in the middle of the stadium with a frown, especially after the picture of Nowitzki being defended by Anthony Mason Jr. appeared on the screen, he couldn't help feeling worried!
Although the rapid growth of Carter and Nowitzki has greatly improved the Warriors, it is still difficult to compete with some old strong teams in terms of experience!

Just like the previous game against the Spurs, even though the Warriors have been able to suppress the performance of the Spurs players with a single-digit lead in the first three quarters, with the explosion of this experienced team in the fourth quarter, This made the Warriors players extremely uncomfortable.

Especially after some veterans played a huge role, this kind of discomfort became more and more obvious!
"Boys, you have to let your brains work, don't cling to some rules and unnecessary risk defenses, you should play more flexibly, instead of slowly entering their rhythm led by the Heat players Among them!" Wilkens didn't feel depressed about the performance of the previous few, but told them some shortcomings in a very gentle tone!

Seeing the expressions of the Warriors players gradually eased down, Rick Barry couldn't help but take a deep look at Wilkens!
"Rick, Lenny really deserves to be a famous coach!" Seeing Barry's actions, George Lillard looked in the direction of his gaze, and when he saw Wilkens smiling and talking to the players , thinking of some bad performances before, I can't help admiring his coaching ability!

"Lenny is a very good coach. He doesn't like to yell like some coaches. Instead, he teaches the players with his gentleness and rigor!" Barry recalled Wilkens' coaching in the previous decades. Career, I couldn't help but agree very much.

"drop!"

After the whistle sounded on the court, the players from both sides returned to the court again!

The new Warriors players, with the debut of veteran Mullin, under his reminder and suppression, the Warriors gradually got rid of the somewhat slow rhythm of the Heat.

"Guys, slow down!" Mullin glanced at his teammates who were a little out of breath. As a veteran who has been fighting for many years, he is very clear about what will happen next!
Hearing Mullin's chanting, Carter and the others slowly slowed down, and the entire team's tactical system has undergone some changes one after another!
Seeing that the Warriors quickly found a way to deal with the Heat on the court, Riley couldn't help but shook his head with a wry smile!
Once the Warriors choose the same or even slower and reasonable half-court offense and defense as the Heat, although the Heat will get some points to a certain extent, as young people, they really get some rest time!

If it is the fourth quarter now, Mullin will definitely not yell to his teammates to slow down, but will definitely keep encouraging these energetic guys to play their lives and hit the Heat's front line!

When the third quarter ended with the two teams in a somewhat anxious situation, the Warriors returned to the court with a 4-point advantage by virtue of Mullin's two three-pointers!
Bruce looked at Mullin, who was already a little out of breath, in surprise, and was very surprised at his role on the field!

When he signed Mullin back in the summer, Bruce's original idea was to fulfill some wishes of his heart and the fans, and at the same time he needed him to guide young people, but as the season and the team gradually got in touch with each other, Mullin was born The previous leadership ability suddenly appeared in front of Bruce and Wilkens!
"Guys, our tactics and style of play are very good, I'm so proud of you!" Mullin celebrated by high-fiving his teammates one by one, looking at the teammates who seemed to be getting huge benefits, his face suddenly showed A look of great joy!

Since returning to the Warriors, Mullin has found a gap between himself and these young people. Although these players are very respectful, he still feels a little awkward!
As the season progressed, after repeated encouragement and careful teaching, Mullin finally became the most friendly player on this team.

With his help, Bowen's shooting has improved significantly, and Wallace's small hook has also made great progress.

Later, as Mullin gradually showed his leadership ability, he became the team's favorite and respected player for a while!

Seeing the players smiling and joking with each other, Bruce couldn't help feeling relieved!
"drop!!"

When the fourth quarter began, the Warriors first dispatched a substitute lineup to attack the Heat frantically. Their sudden acceleration made this somewhat old team suddenly fall into huge trouble!

Because of footsteps and physical strength, the Heat ended the 4 minutes before the start with repeated fouls and turnovers.

The performance of the substitute lineup really made Riley have the urge to scold others. Even though these players still look a little old, they used to be some of the most famous veterans in the league after all.

But now there are some depressing situations that still make Riley frown on the current situation of this team!

When the two teams played for the last 5 minutes, the Heat finally collapsed!
After Hardaway, Anthony Mason Jr. and Dan Marley ran like old cows one after another due to physical strength, Riley finally had no choice but to replace them!
That is to say, from here, the Warriors, relying on the two very young lineups of the main force and the bench, after a shock, the game basically lost suspense!

"drop!!!"

A flute that heralded the end of the game sounded suddenly after Nowitzki made a three-pointer at the end, and the fans in the audience celebrated the victory to the Warriors with their warmest applause!

Seeing the players and coaches from both sides greeting each other in turn on the court, Bruce couldn't help but stood up, looked at the once very strong players of the Heat, clapped his hands vigorously, and sent them blessings!
After the game against the Heat, the Warriors got a rare two-day rest!

Bruce opened the door of the villa tiredly, turned on the button to control the light, glanced at the still deserted surroundings, and shook his head wryly.

"I hope this situation can end as soon as possible!" Bruce put the bag aside, and a beautiful image flashed in his mind!
The next day, Bruce returned to the office in the arena with some anticipation, considering that the time for the mid-term transaction was approaching!
"Based on the team doctor's assessment of Vince and the others, only Danny's health may be serious, but this is also a small probability problem!" Wilkens put the physical data sheet that the team doctor had given to Bruce on his desk. Looking at Bruce who was still frowning on the opposite side, he shrugged helplessly!

"Are you sure?" Because of the memory of his previous life, Bruce still remembered the poor physical condition of these people!
"Will I not like healthy players?" Wilkens said amusedly.

Hearing Wilkens' affirmative answer, Bruce couldn't help turning his mind again!

If he remembered correctly, Danny Fortson had been a foul king and an injury-riddled master in past lives.

Today, because of the existence of Nowitzki and Marshall, he who should have been reimbursed for the season at this time is still active on the field!
Although he didn't have the super stats of 12+16 consecutively in his previous life, his performance was still perfect!
And as the team doctor and Wilkens both evaluated him, this made Bruce have to find a way to limit this crisis to a minimum!
Currently, there are only two options before Bruce. One is to trade Fortson, but his annual average contract of 600 million US dollars is really a headache for him. He doesn't know why he gave this powerful rebounder. Monster has offered a 4-year, $2400 million contract!
Seeing Bruce's eyes flashing and thinking, Wilkens couldn't help but feel moved: "Danny's transaction value is the best now!"

"The best?" Recalling Fortson's performance before, Bruce's eyes suddenly showed a gleam of excitement: "Indeed, this guy is a super efficient player!"

Wilkens watched with a smile, although losing Fortson may bring some troubles to the position of power forward, but a player who is at risk of injury, if there is a team willing to accept, this will be the best at present. s Choice!

"Then, in order to better increase the value of Danny's trade, he must need some time to recuperate!" Bruce said with a strange look on his face.

After that, the Warriors, with the cooperation of the team doctor, put Fortson on the injured list.

In the subsequent games, due to the lack of Fortson, Marshall had to return to the position of power forward.

Although this lost a stable attack point at the small forward position, the Warriors still performed well with Bowen's strong defense to make up for it!
When all the games in December were over, the Warriors, with a record of 12 wins and 16 losses in the last three games, temporarily ranked behind the eye-popping Trail Blazers!
After playing a third of the season, there are several exciting teams emerging from both East and West!

The most notable thing in the West is the defending champion Lakers. After the game in December, they ranked first in the West with a record of 12 wins and 20 losses with the Jazz.

The East has attracted the attention of everyone in the league because of Allen Iverson's super performance!
At the beginning of this season, with the compromise between Iverson and coach Larry Brown, the problem of being late for training has subsided a lot, and because of Brown's bold attempt, Iverson suddenly appeared at the position of shooting guard this season .

This change quickly had a very surprising effect. Iverson quickly won the love of a large number of fans with his repeated hits to the basket and his desperate scoring methods!
When he got strong scores of 30+ and 40+ again and again with injuries, everyone saw the desire and strength of this little man, and no one did not sincerely admire this tough little man!
