Chapter 491 The Third Victory
In the stands of the American League Center, the discussion between Bruce and West showed their very relaxed mood at a glance. They were obviously not very worried about this game!

"For us, the most important issue now is to bring Gary and Carl into the Warriors. If we can successfully win the championship, not only will we bring the glory of the Warriors back to Oakland, but even some players who have the will to win the championship The veterans will also come in droves!" Bruce waved his hand indifferently, he obviously didn't want to say more about the rookie's question now!

"That's what I said, but what if we can't achieve the final goal??" West said with a very calm expression. He didn't look down on the Warriors, but raised his own question very rationally!

"If I fail to win the final championship, I will not refuse the occurrence of a big deal!" Bruce thought about this question secretly, then raised his head extremely firmly and said.

West laughed, what he was waiting for was Bruce's words! ,

Before, Bruce directly rejected the idea of ​​trading Wallace.

Although Wallace's competitive state and defensive performance are really strong, after all, the Warriors already have a Tim Duncan.

"Bruce, thank you very much for your understanding and support!" West is very clear about Bruce's mood at this time. Since he has agreed to a big deal if he does not win the championship, West is very confident that he will not change his mind. That's all he knows about Bruce!
On the court, with the steady performance of the Warriors' substitutes, they finally overtook the meager lead brought by the tired main force of the Mavericks!

Entering the second half of the second quarter, after Nelson "finally" decided to replace them, the main players of the Mavericks gasped violently!

"This is Downey's helpless move!" Kenny Smith said with great emotion, obviously very sympathetic to Nelson's arrangement!
"Why is this happening??" Wharton looked at the Mavericks players who were panting violently at the edge of the court, but couldn't help shouting in his heart.

With the Warriors showing their impressive strength, Walton has already made plans to really kiss Smith's ass. If he hadn't been so close to the other party at that time, I'm afraid the situation of riding a tiger will not happen now!
In the rest area of ​​the Warriors, Duncan and others leisurely discussed the food and some characteristics of Dallas. They were not worried about any uncontrollable things on the court!

"Hey, Tim, as the highest paid player on the team, would you like to invite everyone to have fun?"

I don't know what he said, Starks suddenly said this to Duncan, and his proposal also received strong support from others!
"God, if John didn't mention it, I would have forgotten that Tim's annual salary is already amazing!" Wallace said in surprise with a flash of longing in his eyes.

Hearing his teammate's suggestion, Duncan looked at the two pretending to be serious. When they felt awkward, Duncan suddenly laughed and said, "Guys, I won't mind if we win the Western Conference championship here. I’ll reward you all hard!!”

"God, I thought this guy was going to kill me!" Starks murmured to himself, and immediately threw himself into choosing what consumption items to consume!
Seeing the players in the Warriors' rest area discussing something enthusiastically, Bruce suddenly felt full of confidence in whether they could win the championship!
"drop!!"

The whistle that suddenly appeared on the court not only made the Warriors players look over, but even Bruce and West looked over curiously.

"Wow, it turned out to be Nick (Van Exel)'s foul!!" Kenny Smith looked at the court in surprise, where Bavita was making his own penalty.

Later, after replaying on the big screen, it turned out that it was Van Exel who was fighting for a position with Ginobili, and at the same time, he pushed Ginobili away with his right arm!
"It seems that the mood of the Mavericks players has changed!" Rick Barry had a gleam in his eyes, watching the replay on the big screen, and made the following comment on Van Exel's excessive moves!

In front of the technical stage, Van Exel lingered beside Bavita, his expression was obviously dissatisfied with Bavita's penalty!

"Dick, if this counts as a foul, does the action of that Argentine kid in the previous fight count?" Van Exel yelled at Bavita angrily, obviously for his The penalty is very uncomfortable!
"Nick, my eyes can even see the color of your underwear!" Bavita replied humorously. He didn't seem to cause conflicts with the players!

"Damn it!" Van Exel was completely speechless. Although he was very unhappy with the old guy's penalty, the humorous words and expressions of the other party really couldn't make him angry!
In the end, when Ginobili scored two free throws steadily, Van Exel could only admit it!
Afterwards, under the poor defense of the Mavericks, the Warriors gradually relied on the breakthroughs of Olajuwon and Barkley in the interior. In the entire second quarter, the Warriors ended the first half with an 8-point gap ahead of the Mavericks!
"Unbelievable, this is too unbelievable!!" Kenny Smith looked at the information in his hand in disbelief, then he pointed to a line of comparison between the two teams, and read it aloud: "According to the analyst's comparison , In the entire second quarter, the Warriors only relied on a group of substitute players, and they were amazingly evenly matched with the main players of the Mavericks. Their shooting percentage was close to [-]%, which is simply a nightmare for the Mavericks!"

"Here, I have to applaud this team of terrifying substitute players!" Tom Harmon seemed to be the most devout believer of the Warriors, and he stopped praising them all the time!

After the two finished talking one after another, Bill Wharton really wanted to find a crack in the ground to get in!

The halftime game between the Warriors and the Mavericks allowed everyone who followed the game to see the gold content of the Western Conference team!
Compared with the two teams in the Eastern Conference that have entered the finals, the Western Conference is better than the Nets and Pistons, whether it is the Mavericks' bombardment tactics or the Warriors' offensive and defensive freehand.

Back in the locker room, the Warriors were lively discussing the beauty of the finals, but the Mavericks had to fall into silence!
In the Mavericks locker room, Mark Cuban was silent with a gloomy expression. Whenever he thought of what had happened before, his mood was filled with anger!
Since taking over the Mavericks, even though he has spilled a lot of dollars and experience, this team has always been in the various sayings of "good play, hard to win"!
He agrees with the defense needed in the playoffs, but the Mavericks' beautiful style of play and the top-level statistics in the regular season made him so excited that he couldn't sleep, which really filled him with fantasies about the championship!

However, since they entered the playoffs, the duel between them and the Kings made Cuban realize the shortcomings of the Mavericks in an instant!

"Gentlemen, I need to see your determination to win, even if you will lose the game, but I hope to see your competitive heart!!" Cuban said suddenly, his serious tone made everyone feel his A trace of anger and displeasure in the words!
However, Cuban's words did not cause the slightest waves, and some were just echoes!

Seeing that Cuban was about to enter a very embarrassing situation, Nelson quickly took over the conversation: "I agree with what Mark said, even if we really will lose this game, why don't we take a bite out of them? "

Hearing Nelson's words, Jamison and the others couldn't help being secretly surprised!

In the Mavericks for so many years, once Nelson uttered the meaning of the last sentence, it means that they will use some unconventional means!
However, once they really do this, not only may they not necessarily win the final victory at their own home court, but they may also give the home fans the impression that they are doing everything they can!
Seeing the frowns of the players, Nelson said with a wry smile: "We will not adopt any method in this series, I just want to motivate you!!"

Hearing what Nelson said, Jamison and the others couldn't help secretly heaving a sigh of relief!

"Bang bang bang!~"

With the sound of a knock on the door, the stadium staff carefully opened the door of the locker room with Nelson's consent!
"Sorry, the game is about to start in 5 minutes!"

Watching the staff member leave carefully, Nelson arranged some tactics at the end, and while the players were walking towards the gate, he said in a low voice: "This is the home court of the Mavericks, I hope you can play your bloody !"

Back on the court, at the beginning of the third quarter, the Mavericks attacked the Warriors with a tide of offense. Whether it was Nash, who was less than shooting, or Van Exel, who loved shooting, they all rushed into the Warriors very resolutely. Within the defense line, they were attacked again and again.

"The Mavericks are..." Rick Barry looked at the court in surprise. The Mavericks' unsparing breakthroughs and resolute shooting brought him great trouble!

If the current fast-paced style of play has been followed, as long as the Warriors can withstand their impact, I am afraid that the Mavericks' physical strength will have a very big problem in the last quarter!
"Are they crazy??" Wharton looked at the Mavericks players who were resolutely attacking on the court, and his heart felt as if being cut by a blade!

Under everyone's bewildered gaze, all the players of the Mavericks team gradually revealed a tragic atmosphere, as if this was a real battle of life and death!
The Midland Center gradually returned to the silence when no one was there. Everyone was watching the stadium with their eyes wide open, and not a single fan made any noise!
Feeling the strange silence around him, after hearing a fan behind him praying non-stop, Bruce couldn't help admiring their loyalty!
In the third quarter, under the Mavericks' style of play, they tried their best in time, but the two-point deficit was like a mountain that was difficult to climb!

When they gradually had huge physical problems in the fourth quarter, as Nelson reluctantly replaced the substitute in the second half, they basically gave up in this game!
"drop!!"

A long whistle sounded after all the fans stood up spontaneously. Looking at the disappointed Mavericks players on the court, they immediately greeted them with warm applause!

"Fans are the most admirable people in this league!" Bruce said with emotion as he looked at all the fans who stood up.
