Chapter 453 "Big Dream"! !

The two consecutive victories of the Warriors made all the media see their strong competitive state.

Although the first game was not so smooth and strong, but the second game was so crisp, it was still affirmed by a lot of media!
Standing on the lawn outside the villa at home, Bruce was wearing a casual outfit, staring at the distant coastline, feeling indescribably happy!
"Honey!"

While enjoying the sea breeze, Bruce was suddenly embraced by a pair of soft arms behind him!

Turning his head to look at the smiling Charlize Theron, Bruce rubbed his forehead lightly against her, and said softly, "Why don't you sleep more?"

"Without you by my side, I wouldn't be snoozing!" Charlize Theron smiled, took Bruce's hand and walked to the seat not far away!
Following Charlize Theron all the way, looking at the milk, bread slices and peanut butter prepared on the table, Bruce had a flash of love in his eyes, and hugged her gently: "You are really considerate!"

"Hehe!" With a chuckle, Charlize Theron gently pushed him away: "Why don't you enjoy a delicious breakfast first?"

"Okay!" Bruce nodded with a smile on the tip of her nose, and happily ate the love breakfast!
Jerry West was sitting in the office, looking at the information in his hand, did he write something in the notebook!
This season, in his opinion, the Warriors have a great chance to win the final championship!
In this very favorable situation, the team's matters about the draft have gradually been put on the agenda!
"Hmm. LeBron, Cameron, Darko (Milicic), Chris Bosh, Dwyane Wade."

One name after another came out of West's mouth, and as a series of explosive scenes appeared in his mind, he couldn't help but secretly evaluate it!
Before, because of draft issues, he had an evaluation and analysis with Bruce.

In this year's draft, he is very sure that there will be a large number of newcomers who can become top stars in the future!
James' talent and body, Anthony's top offensive skills, plus Milicic's all-around skills and the good performance of several others in the college arena, all of which made West envious!
Judging from this year's record, the Cavaliers, Clippers and Nuggets are the three teams most likely to get the No. [-] pick!

Although the Warriors have the Clippers' first-round pick, once they really get the top five picks, they will not get the high picks in this draft!
"I hope you don't get the top five picks!" West secretly said expectantly, and then studied some good rookies in the second round!

On April 4, in the Delta Aviation Center arena, a number of tough fans poured into this arena, which is the home of the Jazz!
For them, although the current Jazz team is no longer the tough and powerful team they used to be, their love for this team still makes them enter the arena one after another, cheering for them on the spot!

Sitting in the locker room of the visiting team, looking at the small space around him, Bruce couldn't help frowning secretly!
"This game will be a decisive game for us. If we can win this game at the home of the Jazz, we will most likely end the final first round here!" Will Kens said to the players with a serious expression, as he said, if they can get at least one victory here and return to Oakland with a score of 3:0, this basically declares the final promotion!

"The Jazz is an old and very tough team. I don't want to see you slacking off. I hope you can go all out. An early end can also bring us enough rest time!"

Wilkens' words were echoed by everyone, and he was telling him that if it can end early, the Warriors will at least get at least 6 days of rest and adjustment time!

In the first two matches, the Spurs relied on the strong performance of Carter and others to send the Timberwolves back to the cold Minnesota with two victories at their home court.

If the Timberwolves can pull back the score at their home court, at least the Warriors can get more rest and adjustment time!
"Bang bang bang!~"

A knock on the door attracted everyone's attention. After seeing a Jazz staff member come in, they all sorted out their equipment!

In the Delta Center, a large number of fans kept screaming, this is the most terrifying home stadium except Detroit!

Following the players into the arena, the first thing Bruce felt was the roaring hustle and bustle around him.

"The atmosphere here is really uncomfortable!" Bruce muttered to himself, and after separating from the players, he walked straight to the position behind the Warriors' rest area!
In this game, the Jazz specially invited Hornacek back to serve as the commentator for this game!

"This game will be very important to us!" Hornacek looked at the players on both sides walking out of the channel with a dignified expression, especially at the Warriors players: "This year's Warriors The team gave us such a strong feeling, even the Mavericks with a very strong record did not give me such a strong feeling!"

"Yes, although I very much hope that the Jazz can beat the Warriors at home, but this idea seems a bit difficult after all!"

Hearing what his partner said, Hornacek couldn't help frowning: "I hope Karl and John can bring us victory!"

"drop!"

With a whistle, players from both sides walked to the court one after another, and started a simple warm-up before the game!
Amidst the hustle and bustle around, all Warriors players felt a little pressure from the fans!

The layout of the Delta Center allows the fans to concentrate their voices on the court after shouting!
Here is also because of the altitude problem. Once a certain team reacts, amidst the shouts of the fans, they will definitely experience a depressing downturn!
"FK, I have to come here every year, I'm tired of these noise-making guys!" Barkley frowned and muttered depressingly, and then started shooting with a serious expression!

After a brief warm-up, the two sides directly started a strong confrontation!

With the support of the fans present, the Jazz showed a very good state from the beginning!
The cooperation between Malone and Stockton has brought great pressure to Billups and Nowitzki!
When there were only 5 minutes left in the first quarter, the Jazz still led the Warriors by 5 points.

"drop!!"

Wilkens frowned and called a timeout, obviously not very satisfied with the performance of these main players!

"Dirk, you and Chauncey go off the court and take a rest first, pay attention to Carl and John's pick-and-roll cooperation!"

Wilkens' words made the two of them no longer defend themselves, and sat down on their seats with serious expressions, waiting for the game to start later!

Seeing that the Warriors made a substitution, in order to consolidate the team's lead, Sloan still put his main players on the court after hesitating!
After the timeout ended, the Warriors finally contained the cooperation of Malone to an acceptable range after making up for the experience of Mark Jackson and Barkley!
Off the court, Wilkens kept explaining some tactics and ways to break the pick-and-roll to the two Billups!
Listening to the detailed analysis and suggestions, Billups and Nowitzki nodded from time to time.

Stockton dribbled the ball to the frontcourt and looked up at the first quarter that was 2 minutes away. He first ran to the left three-point line, then glanced at Malone who was coming, and started directly. A series of fake moves!

Mark Jackson, who has been in the league for many years, is very clear about Stockton's habits, so he didn't immediately choose close defense, but took a step free, so that after Malone suddenly appeared, he could make the first choice !

When Mark Jackson was staring at Stockton, with a soft sound, Malone really stood by his side!

"Mark, do you remember my elbow?" Standing next to Mark Jackson, Malone said so, and with his hands crossed in front of him, he was pulled directly by the referee when it was difficult for the referee to find out. jersey!
At this moment, as if he had already sensed it, Stockton suddenly bypassed the harassment of Mark Jackson and Barkley, and immediately raised his hands. After attracting the subconscious interception of Barkley and Mark Jackson, he took the basketball from The gap between the two passed to Ma Long!

"Shhh!!"

Ma Long's mid-range shot made all the fans in the stands cheer!
"Strong pick-and-roll cooperation!" Bruce saw the cooperation between Malone and the two, even as the owner of the Warriors, he couldn't help but applaud the two secretly!

"It seems that Carl and John are in pretty good condition!" Hornacek, who hadn't smiled for a long time, finally showed a smile on his face after seeing this cooperation!

After that, although the Warriors scored two points with Duncan as the main attack point, the Jazz's response really made them feel helpless!
In the second quarter, as both sides replaced the bench lineup, the Warriors' advantage finally emerged!

Manu Ginobili's strange breakthrough, Ben Wallace's control of the rebound, coupled with Kirilenko's active running, only half of this quarter has passed, and the Warriors relied on the excellent performance of the substitute to score a five-point goal. The gap was recovered in one fell swoop!
Jerry Sloan looked helplessly at the score on the big screen, turned his head and glanced at the two of Malone, gritted his teeth, and sent them on the court again after a timeout!
After that, the Jazz finally curbed the previous decline after having Malone on the court!
"drop!!"

With the end of the second quarter, the Warriors returned to the locker room with a 2-point lead!

"You guys need to take a break!" Entering the locker room, Wilkens directly called the team's physiotherapists and started giving the players a relaxing massage!
Texas Houston!
Olajuwon sat peacefully in his home, watching the replay of the first half of the Warriors and Jazz on TV, he touched his knee, but a flash of determination flashed in his eyes!
"It seems that I need to go back!" Olajuwon stood up directly, moved his injured knee with a smile, and after feeling no pain or discomfort, there was a strong fighting spirit in his eyes, and he turned to clean up Pick up your own stuff!
