i am legend

Chapter 475 Who will be the next opponent?
Another legend, one of the top [-] superstars, has retired. Sitting in the office, thinking of the last match between the Warriors and the Spurs last night, Bruce couldn't help but sigh secretly!

"Lenny, how are our players doing?" Bruce asked with some emotion.

Sitting behind the desk, Wilkens smiled: "You know Tim's state, he should have a good chat with David!"

"Hehe, another top player is about to leave. Thinking of their admirable career, to be honest, I really feel a little sad!" Bruce took a sip of water, then raised his head and said, "Hehe, after all they There is a deep friendship!"

"That's right, I hope that David's departure will allow Tim to stay in the Warriors!" Wilkens said with a hint of worry in his eyes, and he couldn't help but look forward to it.

"Ugh!"

Hearing Wilkens' words, Bruce couldn't help but think of Duncan's contract while secretly worried!
Because Duncan signed a three-year extension contract with the Spurs before, allowing him to jump out of the previous contract in advance this summer!

In terms of money, Duncan won a new contract of over [-] million yuan without the slightest problem.

However, it is precisely because of Duncan's value that Bruce, Wilkens and others have to worry about whether he will renew his contract!
"You know, I won't be stingy with those salaries at all. The only thing I worry about is whether Tim will renew his contract with the Warriors!" Bruce stood up worriedly. Thinking of the good cooperation between Duncan and the Spurs before, he really I can't help but want to explore Duncan's tone in advance!

"Bruce, our task now is not to consider these things, but the championship trophy that is very close to us!!" Wilkens' eyes flashed brightly, and he fixedly stared at Bruce standing in front of the window!

"Yup!!"

Hearing what Wilkens said, Bruce suddenly showed a hint of surprise on his face, and finally said: "If we can win this year's championship, coupled with the strong strength of the team itself, I think Tim will definitely win the championship." Seriously consider the gains and losses of leaving here!!"

"Hahaha, if you had thought this way a long time ago, you wouldn't have so many complicated emotions in your heart!!"

Because the conversation between Bruce and Wilkens didn't close the door, West walked in laughing!

"Uh." Watching West enter the office, Bruce touched his nose in embarrassment!

"Although Tim is very likely to leave the Warriors, with our strength and our fight for the championship, we obviously have a very good chance of getting him back!" West sat directly beside Wilkens, pointing to him. After nodding, he continued, "Look, we not only have Dirk and others, but you, the boss, are also very attractive!"

Hearing West's ridicule, Bruce's eyes flashed with pride, and then he sat back in his seat and said, "Hehe, I've already prepared a [-] million yuan contract!!"

With that said, Bruce directly took out a contract with a maximum period of 7 years and 1 million US dollars from the drawer and handed it to them!
"Wow, you are really generous!" West said with a smile. After reading the contract, he thought about the team's salary space, couldn't help frowning secretly, and said: "Once Tim's current contract takes effect , This will bring some small troubles to our future!"

"Huh? Who are you about Manu and B Bowen's contract?" Bruce asked subconsciously thinking of the team's situation.

"Yes, just like you know!" West replied, pushing the glasses on the bridge of his nose, and said: "This summer, whether we win the championship or not, Charles and Hakim will consider retiring Problem, plus John (Starks) and Dell (Curry) two veterans, our background will be greatly affected!"

"That's right, since these experienced veterans came to the Warriors, what they have brought to other players is not only to impart experience, but also to play an important role in leadership and centripetal force that cannot be ignored!" Will Kens obviously agrees with West's analysis very much. He has the most right to speak about the role of Barkley and the others in the locker room!
"If Charles and the others decide to leave, we have to find some veterans who are still good enough to help us!" West said with certainty, watching Bruce's expression.

"Okay, I will try my best to cooperate with your work, the question now is which team will we meet in the next round!" Bruce thought for a while, and then changed the subject!

After getting Bruce's exact answer, West secretly heaved a sigh of relief, and then started some analysis on the Kings and the Mavericks!
"Since the Kings got Mike Bibby, they have fully demonstrated their talents under the coaching of Rick (Adelman)!"

"Princeton's style of play, we have tried for a while before, even if we met them, with our defensive performance, we have a very big advantage to win the final victory!"

"That's right!" Wilkens turned his head and glanced at West, then took his words and said: "The situation of the Kings, in the past few seasons of confrontation, we have been very clear about their strengths and weaknesses. , as long as we can pinch their outside line, they have lost Webber inside, obviously they will not cause us any trouble!"

Bruce tapped the handle of the chair with his right index finger subconsciously. Thinking of Webber who was injured in the third game with the Mavericks before, he couldn't help but secretly nodded!

"For the Mavericks, I don't think it will bring us any strong pressure and trouble!" Wilkens said to the two confidently, and then slowly explained to them with their puzzled expressions : "From the perspective of Downey's tactics, their bombardment tactics have achieved the greatest success this season, which also makes us admire Downey's arrangements!"

"Bombardment tactics are undoubtedly a race against time. If we pinch Steve (Nash) and Mike (Finley), whose competitive status has declined slightly, even if they still have Antoine (Jamison), With his performance alone, with the possible return of Tim and Dirk, the Mavericks will basically gradually enter our rhythm!"

Hearing Wilkens' analysis, the picture of the Mavericks being strangled to death seemed to appear in the minds of the two of Bruce.

After a while, when the two thought about the key points, they both looked at each other, and they all saw a smile in each other's eyes!
On May 5th, the Mavericks are at home!
Bill Wharton and his new partner Tom Harmon were sitting in the commentary booth. He looked at the crowded stands and said with emotion: "Although I like the atmosphere here, why doesn't ESPN let me explain it?" What about the last game between the Warriors and the Spurs?"

"Oh, God, with your confused commentary thinking, do you think the boss will let you explain with the damn Kenny??" Tom Harmon said to Wharton jokingly, thinking of a series with the former superstar He felt unspeakably depressed during the cooperative game!
"God, is it possible that with my strength, the commentary is very poor?" Wharton looked at Harmon in surprise, and when he saw his partner staring at him as if saying "Yes, that's it", he Patted his forehead, completely speechless!
In the arena, a series of entertainment programs made the fans in the surrounding stands shout excitedly.

When the last fancy dunk show on the court ended, the Mavericks and Kings players slowly walked out of the player channel!

"Look, Mark Cuban really looks like a clown dancing around!" Wharton was arguing with Harmon. When he saw Cuban screaming excitedly at the Mavericks, he couldn't help saying something amused!
"Haha, don't say it, this crazy boss is really just like what you said!" Harmon is not a dull gourd, he doesn't mind echoing Wharton's words!

The appearance of the two teams caused cheers in the arena, and the fans used their loudest volume to give the home team plenty of energy in the tie-break!

Don Nelson chewed the gum in his mouth with a relaxed expression. After he had a few words with Cuban, he turned and walked directly to the rest area of ​​the Mavericks!
"Guys!" Although Nelson is old enough to be the grandfather of some players, he still maintains his quack side.

"This game is very important to us. I don't want those old guys to tease me that my tactics won't win the championship!" Nelson looked at his players, then took the tactical board handed over by the assistant coach, After drawing and drawing for a while, he suddenly said to Nash, Jamison and Mike Finley: "You will be the support for the bombardment tactics. I don't want to see you slack. Do you understand?"

"clear!!"

Although Nelson is not a particularly strict coach like Popovich, but in this life-and-death battle, his strict side is instantly revealed!

After that, when the two teams started the pre-match warm-up at the referee's whistle, a large number of fans in the stands shouted!

"Hey, who do you think will win the game?" Bill Wharton looked at the court with a playful expression, not wanting to pay attention to Harmon at all.

"Oh, damn it!" Tom Harmon glanced at Wharton who was still the same with a depressed face. In order to cater to the ratings of the TV station, he suppressed a trace of unhappiness in his heart and said reluctantly: "Of course it's the Mavericks. Their territory!"

"Wow, just for this reason, do you conclude that they will win at home?" Wharton turned to look at his partner curiously, and suddenly laughed out loud when he noticed a trace of displeasure in the opponent's eyes Said: "Man, you are really a humorous guy!"

"Uh." Harmon was completely speechless. If the other party was not a former superstar, he would think that he would be partnered with a Mr. Brat that ESPN had arranged for him!
