Chapter 266
After the end of the last regular season, the Eastern and Western teams arranged their positions according to their records.

Among them, some of the rankings that were disputed because of the same records were also made according to the rules set by the league and the regular season battles between the two teams, and the final rankings were made one after another!

Both the 76ers and the Lakers have the same record, 56 wins and 26 losses, ranking first in the East and second in the West respectively!

This season, the Spurs have really taken everyone by surprise!
Back to health Duncan, the old and strong "Admiral" David Robinson, coupled with the explosive performance of a group of veterans, combined with Popovich's rigorous and tough defense, they surprisingly won The league's first record of 58 wins and 24 losses, and Duncan's toughness is exciting!
Duncan this season has allowed people to fully see the power forward's strength and stability.

在常规赛中，邓肯凭借22分12个篮板3次助攻和2。3次封盖的强悍数据，一度对常规赛MVP发起有力的争夺！
From his performance, it seems that people have seen him who was healthy last season, and everyone was shocked by his performance after he recovered!
After the regular season, the eastern rankings are the 76ers at No. [-], the Bucks at No. [-], the Miami Heat at No. [-], the New York Knicks at No. [-], and the Toronto Raptors at No. [-]. The sixth-ranked Charlotte Hornets, the seventh-ranked Orlando Magic and the eighth-ranked Eastern Pacers!

The rankings in the West are respectively, the Spurs in first place, the Lakers in second, the Kings in third, the Mavericks in fourth, the Jazz in fifth, the Warriors in sixth, and the Warriors in seventh. The Phoenix Suns at No. [-] and the Trail Blazers at No. [-]!

If the Warriors did not have the ups and downs after Dampier's injury, they will definitely become the most favorable contenders for the top four in the West!
In the end, they ranked sixth in the West with a record of 52 wins and 30 losses.

Bruce sat quietly in his office, looking at the evaluation materials about other teams in his hand, but he couldn't express his emotion in his heart!
All the teams are surprising this season. In the East, there are the 76ers and the shocking Bucks after a mid-term trade. In the West, there are the Spurs and the opening The Warriors team that gave people a great sense of surprise!

There are too many uncertainties in this season. The traditional tyrants of the Western Conference, the Blazers have gradually left the first group because of various problems, and the Sonics, which performed very well last season, regrettably failed The door to the playoffs this season!
In short, with the advent of the new century, the entire league seems to be renewing. The traditional strong teams are gradually declining, and the new powerful teams are attracting a lot of attention!
Bruce closed the file slowly, and exhaled heavily: "The times are always changing!!"

According to the league's schedule, the playoffs will kick off on April 4st!

During the rare two days of rest time, the Warriors seized every minute and every second to learn more about tactics and some emergencies!

When the Warriors were ready to go to Sacramento, Bruce couldn't help but took a big breath after boarding the plane!

"I hope we can win at the home court of the Kings!!" Watching the players fasten their seat belts one after another, Bruce encouraged with enthusiasm.

"Don't worry, boss, are we going to lose to the team whose ass was kicked by us in the regular season?" Starks joked in a very relaxed mood!
Hearing his words, the other players couldn't help laughing while nodding one after another!

"Well, guys, I hope your performance won't disappoint everyone who loves you!!" Looking at the confident expressions of the players, Bruce finally said with a smile.

Sacramento.

"Damn, how did we meet them???" Joe Maloof said in a very bad mood.

Seeing the boss walking back and forth in a panic, Adelman couldn't help shaking his head secretly: "Joe, although it is very difficult to meet them, our tactics and the performance of the players, under the home advantage , will not necessarily lose to them, so."

Hearing Adelman reassure himself, Maruf couldn't help but take a deep breath: "That's right, although those idiots are waiting to see our jokes, but who can be sure that the Kings will not make it out of the first round?? "

Adelman looked helplessly at Maruf who was muttering in a low voice. Although he didn't think he would lose this series, the sweep of the Warriors in the regular season still made him very uncomfortable!

Arco Stadium tonight, in the seats that can accommodate more than 17000 fans, fans wearing home team jerseys came one after another.

They held all kinds of props to cheer for the home team. Among them were as many as [-] fanatical fans. They used their bodies to paint the Kings jerseys. You can see how much they love them from the paint on their bodies. This team!
Taking the bus into the arena, the Warriors players and Bruce felt the atmosphere here one after another. Seeing the fans excited like a football feast, fanatical fans danced and danced like crazy fans, and their hearts burst out for no reason!
The playoffs and the regular season cannot be judged together. Just like the regular season, you can refrigerate and rest your team’s veterans or all-stars in a planned way, but in the playoffs, this is simply a suicide. matter!
In the playoffs, there is no team that does not want to go further. There is a problem of honor, and there is also the main essence of the boss getting more benefits!
If a team can win the championship in a certain season, not only the team and the owner will get good benefits and glory, but the local government will also receive huge hidden income and good influence!

Bruce followed the players into the locker room one after another. Looking at this very familiar locker room of the visiting team, they all showed their extreme desire for victory!
"Children, this game is very important to us!" Wilkens said slowly while the players changed their uniforms, with a little eagerness and firmness in his voice: "I don't want to take two losses here. Back to Oakland!!"

Hearing Wilkens' words, the players raised their heads one after another. Looking at this coach who transformed them, their desire for victory became stronger and stronger!
"Guys, I think you really don't want to see the fans in Oakland look sad, so come on!!" Bruce looked at these guys very firmly after Wilkens finished speaking!

Although he has the confidence to sweep the regular season, this is the opponent's home field after all, and this is not the battlefield of the regular season, but one wrong step and he will fall into the playoffs! !

With the pre-match encouragement from Wilkens and Bruce, the players are even more eager for this victory!

Following the reminder of the staff, the Warriors players sorted out their jerseys and sneakers for the last time, and walked out of the locker room with firm expressions!

"Gentlemen and ladies, welcome to this beautiful arena!!" The stadium DJ hissed.

With the DJ's influential shout, a burst of cheers suddenly erupted in the arena!

Seeing the fans wearing home team jerseys, chatting excitedly and cheering, Bruce and others who had just walked out of the player tunnel, they couldn't help feeling tense. Then they thought of the scene in the locker room before, and they all showed the most determined expressions!

"Let us welcome our kings with the warmest cheers!!"

After the DJ yelled in a very exaggerated tone, the cheers in the arena suddenly increased a lot, and all the fans simply stood up, waving the inflatable sticks in their hands, and knocking crazily!

These percussion sounds, like drums beating vigorously one after another, rumbled into the ears of everyone in the Warriors team!

Hearing the huge "noise" around him, Bruce couldn't help but secretly frowned!
Even though he has adapted to this atmosphere, after all, this deafening feeling will still make people extremely irritated after a long time, let alone these players who have been fighting all the year round!

"Children, you must focus on the court, and the rest are just things to ignore!" Wilkens had to shout loudly amidst the loud rumble!

"Understood, we will definitely silence these annoying voices!!" Carter said with a determined expression, and then looked at the dizzying large piece of blue around him, his expression became more determined!

As the DJ introduced the names of the Kings players one by one with powerful shouts, the arena reached the most exciting level time and time again!
When the DJ shouted: "Let us welcome the hero of Sacramento, the unique King of the Kings, Chris Webber!!!"

It was as if a large pot of hot oil was dripped into a drop of boiling water in the arena, and it suddenly boiled up. Shocking cheers resounded throughout the arena, even hundreds of meters away from the arena!
"Boom!" These cheers and percussions entered Bruce's ears as if they didn't need money, and then he felt a loud bang in his head, and his nerves jumped instantly, and a headache spread very quickly. !
"Damn it, this is going to kill me!!" Bruce resisted the urge to curse, and covered his ears hard!
Since the Kings completed an exciting regular season trip this season, the local fans seem to be crazy, and they will cheer for their home team with all their strength in every game!

Now, they have entered the playoffs with the third place in the regular season, which makes them even more crazy and excited!
As Webber walked towards the court in the arena, the shocking cheers finally eased a little!
When the Warriors players were introduced to the court one by one by the DJ, there was a huge booing instead of the previous cheers!

Bruce, who had gotten used to it a bit, couldn't help showing a rare smile on his face after hearing the boos mixed with curses: "Haha, you are really annoying and loving fans!"

With the players of the two teams clasping their right hands to their chests, a very individual American national anthem was slowly performed by a singer, slowly kicking off the prelude to this series!
