Chapter 244 Chaotic Nuggets

Rockefeller Center, the Warriors and the Nuggets suddenly sped up their offense and defense after Dampier's dunk and LaFrentz's mid-range shot!

Seeing the players on both sides gradually speeding up on the field, Bruce couldn't help admiring him!
In this season, the Warriors have gradually demonstrated very good strength in small ball tactics by virtue of the abundant physical strength of young people.

The current situation on the court is exactly the rhythm that the Warriors are very familiar with!

As the first quarter gradually reached the mandatory timeout stage, the Warriors relied on Nowitzki's signature "Golden Rooster Independence" mid-range shot. They returned to the field with a 23:18 lead over the Nuggets by 5 points!

"I have to say that Lenny's tactics are very good!" Looking at the wonderful footage played back on the big screen, Barkley couldn't help admiring Wilkens' changeability!
"Lenny's idea has been further realized since he joined the Warriors!" Thomas nodded in agreement: "Although the small ball tactics will consume a lot of physical strength of these guys, but with Lenny's arrangement and reasonable With passing and passing, the Warriors gradually showed terrifying efficiency on the offensive end!"

"Yes, on the offensive end, it is the selflessness of these guys that has sublimated Lenny's teamwork concept, coupled with the accomplishments of Lenny and Peter (Carlesimo) on the defensive end, if they can overcome some Too many turnovers and fearless fouls, this Warriors team will become another terrifying team!" Barkley finally recovered his professional tone, obviously he is very optimistic about the future of the Warriors!

After the timeout ended, the lineups of the two teams returning to the field have undergone some changes under the arrangement of the coaches of both sides!
The Warriors put both Wallace and Billups on the court, and the Nuggets replaced the somewhat mediocre Riff LaFrentz with Zeon Clark.

In this way, with the substitutions of the two sides, it is conceivable that the substitute offensive and defensive battle will start soon!

The decision to replace Dampier was also the result of discussions between Bruce and Wilkens. Fearing that the team doctor's warning would come true, and with Dampier's old injury hidden danger, Wilkens deliberately limited Dampier's playing time to only one per day. The game lasts about 25 minutes, so that Joel Prisbilla can also exercise more.

With Wallace, who has a better defense, the Warriors' rebounding and defense in the interior have been greatly improved!

As the game progressed, when Wallace took off the rebounds on McDyess's head again and again, the arena suddenly resounded with cheers for him!

"Bruce is so exciting!" Barkley looked at the slightly calm Bruce in the audience, especially seeing Wallace's impressive performance, and was even more admirable for Bruce's vision in selecting candidates!
"Since he was brought to the Warriors by Bruce, his ability has been further improved, especially in defense and rebounding. Inside!" Thomas nodded in agreement!
As the two said, Wallace has gradually become a humanoid monster through his obsession with strength and enthusiasm on the defensive end!

After the tough confrontation with O'Neal that year, Wallace's strength was further praised by the fans!

A group of strong men in the stands wearing only Wallace's No. [-] jersey can see how amazing Wallace's influence is!

Sure enough, when the two teams finished the first quarter, Wallace used his super high efficiency of 5 rebounds and 2 blocks to show everyone his strength!

Back off the court, Wallace's tough performance was cheered and celebrated by everyone!

Watching the players high-five Wallace one by one, Bruce couldn't help hesitating!
In this era when centers are gradually scarce, there are not many traditional insiders like Dampier. Even if there are some hidden dangers in his injuries, it has to be said that with him inside, the Warriors play very reasonably!
However, as Wallace gradually grows into a quasi-starter, Dampier's slow speed seems a bit out of tune with the Warriors' rhythm!
"Forget it, let's take one step at a time!" Bruce, who had been thinking for a long time without any result, simply gave up this question that was a bit too worrying, and then looked at the Warriors players who were about to appear on the field!

"Children, our goal is clear to everyone. I don't want to see you slacking off, so, for the sake of the playoffs, let's move forward!!" Wilkens looked at the players who were slightly relaxed chatting, and couldn't help but Remind said.

"Understood, boss, I don't want to leave that exciting stage!" Carter clenched his fists hard, looked at the rest of his teammates, and said firmly.

"Yes, we are already eager for the playoffs!"

With a famous player responding, Wilkens finally let go!
And this scene is a job that has a lot of young players to consider and guide.

Wilkens and Bruce have to make an attitude when it's time to be tight, and when they are relaxed, they will also get along with these guys.

If these guys are allowed to relax at will, it must be something the Warriors, or even every team with a large number of players, don't want to see!
After re-playing in the second quarter, only Carter was retained in the Warriors' main lineup, and the rest of the players were all substitutes.

They sent Wallace, Marshall, Bowen and Billups lineups respectively. After the test of the season, this lineup has gradually become a top-level substitute lineup in the league that is envied and depressed by other teams.

With the appearance of these people, on the defensive end, they will burst out with huge energy!
Especially the existence of Bowen and Wallace, one outside and one inside defense, makes most of the substitute lineup eclipsed.

And as the two gradually showed strong abilities on the defensive end, Wilkens and his coaching staff after evaluation, surprised everyone by establishing a second tactical system for this lineup!
With Wallace and Bowen on the defensive end, Wilkens arranged them as the core players on the defensive end, and on the offensive end, on the basis of small ball tactics, he deliberately strengthened the tactical arrangement of open three-pointers!

Billups slowly brought the ball to the frontcourt. After studying with Starks, Mullin, and Cassell, he gradually integrated and absorbed some techniques.

As soon as he ran to the top arc of the three-point line, Billups raised his right hand high and made a tactical launch gesture to his teammates!
After seeing Billups' actions, the rest of the players all started running according to the previously rehearsed route!

In the orderly running of the Warriors players, the Nuggets players on the defensive end appear a little unorganized and give people a sense of chaos!
When Marshall stood in the right corner three-point position, the Nuggets defender surprisingly did not follow, but chose to double-team with his teammates when Billups was about to break into the inside.

Seeing this happening, even fans in the arena who don't know much about tactics and defensive strategies can see that this defense is unreasonable!
When Marshall received a breakthrough pass from Billups, he made some adjustments and threw the basketball under the anxious pursuit of the defensive players!
"Shhh!!"

Bruce looked at Marshall who raised his hands to greet the surrounding fans on the court, and couldn't help being very satisfied with this all-round player!
In the following games, just like the player's clumsiness on the defensive end, the Nuggets gradually fell into the rhythm of the Warriors!
When Nowitzki ended the first-half competition with a signature three-pointer at the end of the second quarter, the players of the two teams returned to the locker room with completely different expressions and states.

Back in the locker room, Dan Insel helplessly explained the tactics to these players, but the players who had already had conflicts with him maintained the previous slack state.

Looking at the expressions of the players and their self-contained discussions, Dan Insel finally realized what it was like for those coaches who were forced to dismiss get out of class!
When they returned to the court in the second half, I don't know if it was the sequelae of the previous conflict. All the players of the Nuggets on the court gave people a very obvious slack and calm, as if everyone didn't care about the game at all!
"When will this team get out of the predicament?" Looking at the situation where the Warriors have stretched the score to 18 points, Kenny Thomas couldn't help but regret.

"To get out of the quagmire, the owner who just bought the Nuggets must make adjustments to the management and player lineup, otherwise they can only be another Vancouver Grizzlies!!" Barkley thought of the Grizzlies The situation is obviously not very optimistic about the future of the Nuggets!
"Antonio and Nick must be very depressed about the current team!" Thomas thought of McDyess and Van Exel, and couldn't help feeling sorry for them!

When the entire fourth quarter became garbage time, as Van Exel missed the last shot, the Warriors contributed a very exciting game to the fans with a huge point difference of 120:98!

In the whole game, Carter played 32 minutes and used 21 points, 6 rebounds and 5 assists to explain his comprehensiveness and strength to everyone!
Nowitzki also delighted the fans with his quasi double-double of 18 points and 9 rebounds!

Coupled with a group of exciting players on the bench, the fans seem to have seen the future of the Warriors gradually becoming a powerful team, and everyone silently prayed for their heroes!

In contrast to the Nuggets, although Antonio McDyess surprisingly scored a large double-double of 25 points and 17 rebounds, Van Exel, who should have performed, only scored 9 points and 9 times Assist score.

Coupled with the sluggish performance of the rest of the players, a game with such a huge point difference has become an unsurprising game!
Bruce smiled and watched the Warriors players happily walking towards the player tunnel, and couldn't help looking forward to the team's performance this season!
Afterwards, the Warriors first defeated the Sonics led by Payton with a difficult 100:98, and then until mid-January, the Warriors ended the first half of the game with a record of 4 wins and 2 losses!
