Chapter 477

In the Rockefeller Center on May 5, a large number of fans poured into it, especially some fans who depicted the golden and blue oil paint of the Warriors on their bodies were the most conspicuous!
In the arena, Bruce frowned slightly and sat in the office.

"Jerry, do you think we have as much as a chance of getting Carl and Gary?"

Jerry West frowned secretly when he heard Bruce's words: "If Carl's request is really what Chris (Mulin) said, I'm afraid the most worrying thing for us is Gary's contract!"

"Yes!" Bruce said with some concern!
After Gary Payton exchanged with Ray Allen, he was not very happy in the Bucks!
Now, it's time for his contract to expire again. Even though this veteran player no longer has the super ability of his peak period, he can still maintain an average of 20 points and 8 assists per game. $800 million contract signed.

Now, although Bruce and the others have considered Payton's situation as an Oaklander, after all, this is a huge business alliance that no one can fathom!

"Now we can only win this year's championship to make Gary accept a new contract that is much lower than the previous contract. Otherwise, even if he is an Oaklander, with money and invitations from more teams that may win the championship, he will obviously. Go to a certain team without the slightest hesitation!" West thought for a while, and said directly in response to Payton's desire for a championship.

"For us, the Mavericks, except for their neurotic shooter bursts, we are obviously better than them in regular offense and defense!" Bruce rubbed his temples, thinking of the previous confrontations between the Mavericks and the Warriors. Said confidently.

"Bruce, confidence is great, but overconfidence..."

Bruce looked at West, and when he heard his words, his heart skipped a beat. In front of this old man who has been immersed for many years, his words obviously have some truth!

"Hehe, we should go out!" Bruce nodded to West, and his previous self-confidence gradually subsided!
In the Warriors locker room, Barkley yelled as if he had taken a stimulant!

"FK, I finally returned to the finals in the Western Conference again. Whenever I think that I can return to this exciting stage again, I can't help but want to call out those FK who used to mock me. guys!!"

In the locker room, Barkley's shout really moved some people. Even though his words were a bit unbearable, the excitement in his eyes made everyone feel the difficulty of this veteran!
Throughout his career, although Barkley used his super strength to gain a reputation that everyone dreaded, he still missed the championship!
Now, as the playoffs progress, Barkley finally feels so close to the championship trophy after seeing the awesome performances of his teammates!

"Hehe, is it our Western Conference Finals?" Dell Curry said with a wry smile as he recalled his career.

"That's right, man!!" Starks was obviously more open-minded than the two of them, he patted Dell Curry on the shoulder and said.

However, as his expression became more and more excited, everyone felt a situation that was so moving that it could not be added!
"Man, it's... our Western Conference Finals, really, man, it's our Western Conference Finals... Woohoo!"

Bruce and West, who had just opened the locker room door, saw the excited Barkley, Dell Curry and Starks weeping after hearing the cries!
In this situation, even if Bruce didn't know what happened between them before, he knew a thing or two from the current atmosphere!
Before, even though Starks entered the Finals with the Knicks in a shortened season, with Ewing's injury and the players' lack of experience in the Finals, they were directly swept out by the Spurs!

Now, seeing that the Warriors are making a solid impact on the championship step by step under the circumstances that everyone is optimistic about and the team's own strength, this can't help causing him to have a violent mood swing when he is about to retire!

The locker room was silent, except for Starks' moving cries, Yin Rao!

Wilkens, who was standing beside the players, looked at Starks who was still sobbing, and walked over slowly with a smile!

"Child, your career is perfect, I will not let you leave this gorgeous stage with regrets!" Wilkens stroked Starks' head lovingly, but his words instantly shocked everyone. They all felt his strong firmness!
"Charles, Dale, I understand your feelings very well. I have longed for some things at your age, but...hehe, you should know my bad experience!" Wilkens smiled self-deprecatingly, one by one Looking at Barkley, Dell, Curry, and even turned his head to look at the regretful Jerry West, he suddenly glanced at his players one by one with a firm expression, and said in an unquestionable and extremely firm tone : "This season belongs to us, that trophy will not appear in the other team's showroom!!"

Everyone stared blankly at this old coach, seeing his unusual determination and full of fighting spirit, their minds subconsciously played back the super demeanor of this old coach in the player era!

Bruce and West looked at the players and Wilkens quietly, some were sitting, some were standing, and some just picked up the water bottle. This picture seemed to be frozen, and all the players were in high spirits Looking at his coach, the picture was so harmonious and moving for a while!
"Bang bang bang!~"

There was a sudden knock on the door, and when the arena staff just opened the locker room door and wanted to say something, seeing the picture inside, he didn't know what to say, and kept silent. Follow your own door opening action.

"Children, pack yourself up, we are going to the battlefield!!" Wilkens nodded to the staff member with a smile, and then said flatly to all the players.

After hearing Wilkens' words, all the players prepared silently. For a while, the usual laughter and ridicule disappeared in the locker room, and all that remained was the strong fighting spirit!

"Squeak!!"

The staff member gently closed the door of the locker room, then turned and leaned against the wall next to the door, panting heavily subconsciously: "They... are too powerful!!"

Rick Barry, Kenny Smith, Bill Wharton and Tom Harmon were sitting in the commentary booth chatting hotly!

Judging from their combination, the league obviously arranges the game between the Warriors and the Mavericks as a typical one!
Not only the luxury of the commentary lineup, but even the TV broadcast has reached the point of an astonishing global simultaneous live broadcast.

"God, I'm going to comment on this series with Bill, it's unbelievable!!" Kenny Smith exaggeratedly hugged Wharton, who smiled wryly, and his appearance really made people laugh!
"Hey, have you met a natural enemy?" Harmon, who was sitting on Wharton's right hand, couldn't help feeling refreshed after seeing the wry smile on his face!
Because of Smith's super adaptability and ubiquitous ridicule, even Wharton, who is a little too "two", is willing to bow down.

"Haha, I like to explain together with you. Your unique insight makes me admire to the point of my five bodies!" Smith didn't want to let go of the former super giant. He slowly let go of Wharton and looked at his face. With a more intense wry smile, with a hint of playfulness in his eyes, he said, "Dude, I hope the TV station can arrange you by my side, I've had enough of Rick's sharp commentary!!"

"Damn it, don't you like to explain with me???" Rick Barry, who heard Smith's words, looked at him as if he wanted to punch someone, as if he was going to have a live PK with him in an instant!
"Aha, I'm just joking with Bill!" Smith said pretending to be afraid, and then suddenly pointed at the position of the player tunnel and shouted: "Look, they are ready to play!!"

Following behind the players, Bruce gradually heard the expectant shouts of a large number of fans in the arena.

When they walked out of the player tunnel slowly, the fans in the arena, which had been brewing for a long time, suddenly gave them the most enthusiastic cheers with a wave of shouts and tsunami!
"Listen, this is a cheer for us!!" Barkley closed his eyes slightly as he listened to the noise in his ears, and said in a low voice comfortably.

"Yes, they are your most loyal guardians!!" Bruce looked at the crowd, said slowly, and then walked out of the passage first!

"Bruce!!! Bruce!!! Bruce!!!"

In the arena, amid the hissing and yelling of some fans, uniform shouts suddenly spread all around.

Seeing the excited look of the fans and the uniform screaming, Bruce suppressed the excitement in his heart, and waved his arms around excitedly!

"He is the most shocking owner in this league and the most popular owner among fans and players!" Barkley looked at Bruce who was interacting with fans on the field with a smile, and thought of the usual behavior of this guy who was much younger than himself. He couldn't help secretly sending him blessings!
Bruce's popularity is unbelievable in the eyes of audiences all over the world. They only know that the boss is very young and rich, but they never imagined that he is so popular!
After that, as the fans gradually calmed down, Bruce also returned to the opening stage with an excited and very satisfied smile!
"Boss, you are the greatest team owner I have ever seen, this is so cool!!" Nowitzki said excitedly to Bruce who was slowly walking towards him.

"If you had just appeared in the locker room, you would have seen a picture that moved you to the extreme!" Bruce did not respond to Nowitzki's words, but said to him in a very regretful tone.
