Chapter 264 Before the Playoffs
In the Warriors' locker room, all the players watched the team doctor's test on Dampier with serious expressions.

Although it seems a bit hasty here, as a well-known sports medicine expert in the United States, this team doctor is still very confident!

For a moment, when the team doctor looked up at everyone solemnly, the rest of the players and Bruce finally felt something was wrong!
"How is it?" Wilkens looked anxiously at the team doctor, and then looked at Dampier with a painful face, feeling inexplicably worried!
"Sorry, Lenny, 80% of the time Eric won't be back on the court!" The team doctor smiled bitterly.

"How could it be???" Wilkens' expression suddenly changed, and he said a little ferociously: "Eric has just recovered from an injury last season, could this small impact cause such serious damage? Consequences??"

Bruce's heart sank suddenly, and his face became serious: "If Eric undergoes the operation as quickly as possible, how long will his recovery period be?"

"Uh." The team doctor looked at Bruce in astonishment. Although he was unwilling to draw such a conclusion, after some groping and simple examination just now, he was sure of Dampier's injury!
Seeing the team doctor's expression, Bruce's mood suddenly sank to the bottom!

In the locker room, everyone was enveloped in a strong and dignified atmosphere.

"Eric." Wilkens opened his mouth, and then he saw the team doctor solemnly shook his head, but in the end he could only sigh in disappointment!

"Damn it!!" Carter hammered the sofa beside him heavily. Looking at Dampier who was still in pain, he gritted his teeth and wanted to go out of the locker room!
"Calm down, man!!" Seeing Carter's movement, Mullin pulled him back.

"I have to get something back!!" Carter looked at Mullin resolutely. In his opinion, if Divac doesn't pay something, this matter will never end!

Mu Lin's actions suddenly created a strong atmosphere of tension in the locker room, and everyone was very angry with this result!
Seeing the players clenched their fists, Bruce was really nervous: "Hey, guys, I don't want some accidents to happen!!"

Hearing Bruce's words, the players suddenly paused, and after seeing his dignified and somewhat angry expression, they all stopped!
For a moment, the locker room suddenly fell into a dignified silence!
The next day, when the news of Dampier's surgery spread throughout the Warriors, everyone felt an inexplicable pressure!

Later, under Wallace's strong performance, the Warriors responded to the doubts of the media with a wave of 3 consecutive victories after entering March!

When everyone thought that the Warriors would break out suddenly, with a shocking losing streak, the Warriors' ranking in the Western Conference suddenly fell!
In the fierce competition for the Western Conference, the Warriors suddenly slipped to the No.6 position in the Western Conference due to their record and competitive status!
While the Warriors slipped, the Timberwolves, eager for the playoffs, were delighted to find that they had the opportunity to re-enter the playoffs!

As the playoffs are approaching, all teams are going all out to launch a strong sprint to the playoffs!
In March, after the Warriors players slowly regained their form, although the ranking in the Western Conference has disappointed everyone, they still used a strong performance to firmly hold their sixth position, making The Blazers and Timberwolves are all depressed!
On March 3, when Bruce followed the Warriors on the plane to Washington, everyone was solemnly silent!

Since completing the Larry Hughes deal with the Warriors, the Wizards have gradually liberated their salary space!
Although it has been very clear that he will not get good results this season, with Jordan's domineering cut of Strickland and Richmond's contract worth about 2000 million U.S. dollars, this makes everyone pay attention to him. I admire the courage!

"Michael seems to be ready for a complete reconstruction!" Wilkens threw the newspaper aside and said with some emotion!

"Michael's approach is very correct. If it were me, I would not hesitate to deal with these two burdens!" Bruce was not surprised at all!
He has the memory of his previous life, although he is a little vague on some details and issues, but the anecdotes about several big men

I still remember it clearly!

Since completing the deal with the Warriors, Jordan has made drastic changes to the lineup!
After some "leftovers" transactions, he suddenly raised a sharp "big axe", and suddenly turned to the two veterans who had been regarded as the saviors of the Wizards!

"Mitch (Richmond) and Rhodes (Strickland) have become free agents, why don't we fight for it?" Wilkens couldn't help thinking about the previous incident about the two being dismissed by the Wizards. Exciting!
"Hehe, do you think Mickey will come back?" Bruce smiled bitterly, and then said with some interest: "Rhod may still have some chances!"

Thinking of Strickland's competitive state, Wilkens couldn't help shaking his head!
"Okay, let's wait and see!" Bruce noticed Wilkens' expression, and ended the conversation helplessly!
After a flawless performance in Washington last time, it made everyone in the capital remember Bruce and his miracle entertainment.

When he and the players got off the plane one after another, there were quite a few fans outside the airport to his surprise!
"Bruce!! I love you!!"

"Miracle Entertainment!! Miracle Entertainment!!"

The specious shouts attracted the attention of a large number of passengers. When Bruce came into view with a wry smile, all the fans screamed excitedly!

"This." Carter looked at these "crazy" fans in surprise. Originally, he thought that these fans were welcoming him and others, but seeing the current situation, he couldn't help admiring Bruce's charm!
Under the welcome of the fans as if seeing a superstar, the Warriors took the bus and drove into the MIC center arena in less than half an hour!

"I hate this kind of work that I have to adapt to the field before the game!" Starks muttered in a low voice with an unhappy face!

Hearing his words, the other players nodded with deep emotion!
After a simple adaptation, the Warriors returned to the resting hotel under the leadership of Wilkens and Bruce!
"Tonight's game, we must go all out!" Wilkens solemnly said in the locker room, watching the players with different expressions!

With the playoffs approaching, all capable teams are eager for every victory!

Especially the Warriors, after the previous "fall", they have gradually drawn a lot closer to the Trail Blazers who followed them!

The players nodded one after another with solemn expressions, especially after seeing Bruce's expression, they became more determined to win this victory!
After that, in the game between the two teams, under the powerful impact of the Warriors, the Wizards basically only had defensive materials!
The only thing that makes the Wizards shine is Larry Hughes and Juwan Howard!
Throughout the game, the Warriors caught the Wizards by surprise with a powerful 18:0!
Although in the next three quarters, the Wizards recovered some points under the explosion of Hughes and Howard, but they still seemed a little weak under the explosive performance of all the Warriors players!

When the Warriors finally won the underdog Wizards with a score of 105:95, with this victory, they gradually stabilized their sixth position in the Western Conference!

The end of March has made everyone sigh with emotion!
An article in the New York Times even described this season as "Heaven and Hell"!
"Since Michael Jordan left the league, it has been very difficult for us to adapt. Even though the NBA has spent a lot of resources on cultivating super giants, the influence of Michael Jordan's retirement is still slowly brewing in the league!"

"Looking at this season so far, all the teams in the eastern and western regions are sometimes surprising and sometimes surprising. This fully tells us how regrettable it is for a superstar to leave. matter!"

Looking at the newspaper in his hand, although the Warriors have performed very well in the market this season, Bruce still has to admit this common fact!
Since Jordan chose to retire, even though he returned to the league as a management team, the decline and the degree of decline still caught the league by surprise!
Even though they have won a large number of super giants, because of Jordan's powerful influence and the aftereffects of the shrinking season, they still look a little depressed in the ball market!

"The playoffs are about to start, we must use our maximum energy to attack the final home court advantage!" Bruce frowned and glanced at Wilkens beside him, with an inexplicable expectation in his eyes!

"Judging from our current state, we obviously won't have a very big impact on the western landscape!" Wilkens lifted his glasses on the bridge of his nose and said solemnly: "If we can maintain The current ranking, in the playoffs, is very likely to gain a certain advantage!"

Thinking of the previous performance and record of the Kings, Bruce very much agrees with Wilkens!
With the Kings under the leadership of Adelman and Webber, they have shown a strong strength this season!

Except for the Kings, the other team that had an astonishing record in the second half of the season was the Dallas Mavericks!
I don't know if it's the old Nelson's madness, but the Mavericks really showed a very strong offensive power in the second half of this season!

No matter which team they face, they are very persistent in implementing the "bombardment tactics" formulated by Nelson.

Strong offensive ability makes all teams in the league fearful!

"Donnie, you really are a genius!" Wilkens said in admiration!

"That's right, if Downey wasn't too crazy, I'm afraid he would have led a team to win the championship!" Bruce nodded in agreement!
As April entered, under the premise of entering the playoffs with less than 8 games left, the Warriors, with their subsequent stable performance, truly secured the sixth position in the Western Conference!

　The trip to the playoffs starts tomorrow, after which Lao Lang will speed up the progress of this book, and show brothers and sisters the magnificence of 03 and the splendor after that as soon as possible!
