i am legend

Chapter 464
Bruce stood excitedly in the stands, watching the Warriors players celebrate excitedly, he couldn't help but feel a burst of pride in his heart!
"This game was so exciting. The Warriors used their strength to complete an exciting victory at home. Let us congratulate them!!" Rick Barry shouted with a little excitement, as if returning At that time, the galloping field was average.

All the fans in the audience stood up, they kept cheering and screaming, as if they could only vent their emotions in this way!
"We won, we won!!" Barkley hugged his teammates excitedly like a child!

Even though he made it to the semi-finals last season, he didn't feel as great as this series after all!

With his age and potential injuries, if he can't make it to the finals this season, I'm afraid he will hesitate and choose to retire directly to end his career!
Now, the Warriors have won the Spurs, which performed well in the regular season, with their strong combat power. This is a very exciting and confidence-building victory for everyone in the Warriors!

Under the congratulations of the Warriors, the Spurs' side looked much dimmer!

"Will the Spurs win back the score at home?" Kenny Smith said in a low tone, watching the Spurs enter the player channel a little sadly, he couldn't help saying regretfully: "Based on the Warriors 2: 0 lead, the Spurs want to come back, they can only hope for those fans who love them at home!"

Smith's words caused the people who heard them to compare subconsciously.

As Smith said, with the current strength of the Spurs, after comparing with the Warriors, they really don't seem that strong!

If they return to their home court, the support of the fans will undoubtedly be extremely important when the strength is somewhat weak!

After the celebration of winning the game was over, whether it was the players or Bruce, they all felt a bit of exhaustion!

In these two matchups, although the Warriors performed very well, but because of the home court, with the support of the fans and full of motivation, this could not help but bring them a little pressure from the outside world!

If they lose the game with such enthusiastic support from the fans, I'm afraid it's not just that they are more disappointed, these fans will also be disappointed and have a little doubt!
Now, two games in a row have been won, which not only builds a very strong self-confidence for the Warriors, but also allows the fans to get their rewards!
The next day, the news about the Warriors' victory over the Spurs suddenly occupied the headlines of the sports pages of major newspapers across the United States!

Especially the strong strength they showed, all the media are very optimistic about the Warriors' final championship!
Under the hype of the media, the winning odds offered by Las Vegas, also after the Warriors defeated the Spurs, went from the initial 3:1 to the current 1:1!

Judging from the handicap opened in Las Vegas, it is clear that the Warriors have been recognized by all companies!

Sitting on the sofa at home, Bruce watched a series of news and the handicap in Las Vegas. After a slight smile on the corner of his mouth, he couldn't help muttering playfully: "Do you want to bet on your team? Note??"

"Jingling!~"

When the phone rang, Bruce shook his head amusedly, and picked up the receiver directly!
"Hi, this is Bruce Young!!"

"Hahaha, Bruce, your winning odds this year are simply amazing!!"

Hearing what the other party said after laughing, Bruce couldn't help flashing a look of surprise on his face: "Uh... hello, Elgin!"

"Hehe, why? Don't you welcome me, an old guy?" Elgin Baylor said with a smile.

"of course not!"

Hearing Bruce's reply, Baylor's eyes flashed with embarrassment. After hesitating for a moment, he tentatively said, "Bruce, you should be very clear about our current situation. I want to ask, are you interested in trading the first-round pick?"

Hearing Baylor's words suddenly, Bruce couldn't help feeling weird!

Because of the previous deal with the Clippers, they have at least one time to get back their original draft picks!

However, now that Baylor brings up the topic again, Bruce can't help but feel a little headache!
"Uh... this. Sorry, Elgin, I'm afraid we don't have this idea yet!"

After a while, when Bruce finally opened his mouth, Baylor couldn't help but a hint of loss flashed across his face!

Elgin Baylor and Sterling both seem to have seen a renaissance since the trade for Brand.

However, with Brand, although the Clippers have very good talent, after all, the game is not just a matter of player talent!

This summer's draft is favored by all managers and scouts, especially LeBron James and others, who are described by them as talented players who have been hard to come across in decades!
Now, because he traded his draft pick to the Warriors early, Baylor suddenly found himself as short-sighted as a clown!

"This. Can you think about it??" Elgin Baylor smiled bitterly. After not getting the first reply from Bruce, he gritted his teeth and said, "If you consider trading the first-round pick, we Will provide you with all the chips except Elton!"

Bruce was completely speechless, Elgin Baylor's words were so familiar, obviously it wasn't the first time he had heard them!

Later, even though Bruce didn't think the Clippers had the players he needed, after all, he and Baylor were old friends!

Secretly recalling the Clippers' roster, Bruce frowned secretly, and changed the topic: "Elgin, you should know who the Warriors are now the manager, so."

Hearing Bruce's words, Elgin Baylor couldn't help but sighed: "Oh, well, I will contact Jerry!"

Afterwards, the two chatted for a few more words before hanging up the phone!
"It seems that these guys can't bear it anymore!" Bruce murmured with a smile while looking at the green outside the window of the villa!
As the Warriors double-killed the Spurs at home, the Mavericks were also at home, and with a shocking victory, they finally pulled the score back to 1:1.

In this game, Van Exel seemed to be truly insane. In the astonishing 30 minutes he played, he made a very important contribution to the Mavericks with a super performance of 36 points and 6 assists!
As for the Kings, because of Webber's injury and departure in the 29th minute, this brought them a catastrophe!

Even though the defense of both of them is not necessarily very good, the Mavericks scored 132 points in the game, which really made people see the weakness of the Kings on the defensive end!
Although the Kings also scored 110 points, in the end the Mavericks used a more powerful offense to win the victory with a huge lead of 22 points!
"Hahaha, look, Downey, I said we would win the game!!" Mark Cuban laughed out loud with pride!
As for Nelson, who sat opposite Cuban, although the Mavericks won this big victory, he was in a very good mood, but the strength of the Kings should not be underestimated after all!
"Mark, although we won the victory with a big victory, we must be careful in the next game!" Nelson shook his head slightly and said in a very serious tone.

"Hehe, the same sentence, I don't think we will lose the game!" Cuban didn't care what Nelson said, he was only very interested in the big victory in front of him!

Afterwards, the two said something about the team, and even after Cuban left excitedly, the conversation ended!

"Hey, I hope that after the loss of Chris, the king's strength will be weakened!" Nelson sighed to himself, slowly got up, turned his head to look at the family portrait of the Mavericks in the office, and there was a smile on the corner of his mouth, firmly Out of the office!
In the West, as the Warriors and Mavericks won victories at their own home courts, the matchups in the East also made fans hooked!

活塞队在进入第二轮后，他们分别以98:87和104:97分别战胜了艾佛森的76人队！

In these two games, the Pistons double-killed the 76ers at their home court with the outstanding performance of Richard Hamilton, Clifford Robinson and others!

In another matchup in the East, the Nets also performed well and double-killed the Celtics with Pierce and Walker at their home court!

Judging from the second round of the NBA, the Warriors, Pistons, and Nets, the performance of these three teams is really exciting!
They have completed a good record of double play at their own home courts, making fans and commentators enter the discussion of the final championship!

On May 5th, all the Warriors packed up their salutes and headed to the airport. They were preparing to go to San Antonio for their third game!

On the plane, Barkley chatted excitedly with his teammates, while Bruce, West, and Wilkens were discussing some things in a low voice!
"Lenny, as the head coach of the team, you have the greatest say in the positions that the team needs to strengthen. Why don't you say something now?" Bruce said to Wilkens with a smile, obviously to him Opinions are very important!

"Hehe, what should I say!" Wilkens smiled, pondered for a while, subconsciously glanced at veterans such as Olajuwon and Barkley, and then said softly: "After this season, the veterans in the team It is very likely that they will choose to retire one after another, once they all leave, some unpredictable things will happen to our substitute lineup, so... "

"So what we should consider most now is the reinforcement of the substitute lineup!" West directly took over Wilkens' words, and he also very much agrees with this proposal!

"Well, it seems that we have to consider some veterans!" Bruce secretly thought about the veterans who may enter the free market this season and are not very wealthy, and then said with a smile.
