Chapter 550 The Last Preseason Game
Inside Rockefeller Center.

In the stands in the arena, a large number of fans talked excitedly about the performance of the Warriors in this new season. Among them, the joining of Malone and Payton made them the most heated discussion!

In the Warriors' locker room, after Barkley and others were less active, the one who took over their banner obviously became Gary Payton, and he is now doing the same thing as Barkley!

"guys!!"

Payton looked at the loose atmosphere in the locker room and said something loudly. After attracting the attention of his teammates, he said with a very serious expression: "This will be our last preseason game, and the stands are even more There are a lot of fans who love us, so why don't we use a hearty battle to give these fans the best gift?"

"Haha, that's right, I can't wait to play!" Karl Malone laughed and stood up, with a fighting look on his face, combined with his muscles that seemed to be poured with steel bars, it really brought others No small impact!

Bruce stood by the door of the locker room, looked at the two veterans who had recently joined the team, and nodded with great satisfaction!
Since Malone officially joined the Warriors, judging from their performance on the training ground and before the preseason game, everyone is obviously satisfied!
"This is the charm of a veteran!" West took two steps closer to Bruce and whispered with a smile on his face.

"Yeah, with them, I think this year's road to defending the title will be a very exciting thing!" Bruce's eyes flashed with anticipation, and then both of them walked out with West!
In the arena, there are stands that can accommodate 19000 fans to watch the game. Although the current number of fans is far less than the attendance rate during the regular season, after all, there are as many as 9000 people present to cheer, which still makes Bruce very pleased!
"Bruce, how is Charlize's body??"

Sitting in the stands, West seemed to have suddenly thought of something, and asked curiously!

"Uh. How do you say it??"

A smile flashed in Bruce's eyes, thinking of Charlize Theron's state of eating and drinking, he couldn't help but smile: "Hehe, I can eat and drink!!!"

"Can... Can I eat or drink??" West looked at Bruce with a strange expression on his face. When the other party said something immediately, he was completely dizzy!
"Uh. Also. I can sleep!!" Bruce suppressed a smile, turned his head to look at West in a daze, and finally burst out laughing!

"Are you sure this is the former All-American Idol??" West looked at Bruce in disbelief, and as the other party nodded vigorously, he was completely speechless!

"Haha, now you should understand why she doesn't want to come to the home court with me, right?" Bruce said to West with a big laugh, the cola on his face really made West dumbfounded!
"Well, I hope Charlize can recover as soon as possible!" West's chubby figure of Charlize Theron popped out in his mind, and he couldn't help but smile secretly!
During the chat between the two, as both the Warriors and the Mavericks came out of the player tunnel, the fans who looked like super fans in the stands encouraged their heroes with warm applause and cheers. Come on!

"Haha, did you see that, this is the team I don't want to leave!!"

In the commentary seat, Barkley was dressed in a suit and excitedly said to Kenny Smith beside him.

Since Barkley retired, he has rarely appeared in the news of major media.

And now, appearing in another way in this arena where he once won the championship really excited some fans who noticed him!

I don't know if I was awakened by the cheers and discussions of the fans, the cameraman in the arena pointed the camera directly at Barkley with an exaggerated smile!
"Wow!!"

As Barkley's figure appeared on the big screen, there was suddenly more enthusiastic cheers and applause in the arena.

"Uh... this is??"

Hearing the loud cheers and non-stop shouting from the fans around, when Bruce and West followed the fans' gazes, Barkley stood up excitedly and kept waving his arms around!

"Is this the way this guy is talking about returning??"

Bruce said something in a daze, and then remembered Barkley's career as a commentator in his previous life after he retired!

"Haha, this guy can appear in the commentary booth, it seems that we will have a lot of fun in the future!" West laughed and waved to Barkley, watching the guy make a face at them, which made him The laughter became louder and louder!
"Kenny, have you seen the popularity of Sir Charles??"

Barkley sat down with a lot of meaning, and then said to Kenny Smith, who was a little bit dumbfounded, with a proud face.

"Do you want to hear the truth?" Smith said indifferently, and then in Barkley's slow nod, he said mockingly: "Man, these guys are just here to see a man named Charles Barkley It's just fat!"

"Damn it!!" Barkley was stunned for a moment, and then pushed him with a look of displeasure!
The reunion of this pair of living treasures made Bruce sitting in the stands look forward to whether the power of their golden combination is as strong as in the previous life!
After the players on both sides entered the rest area one after another, the fans gradually recovered from Barkley's return!

"Children, in this last preseason game, I hope you can fully demonstrate your state. Only in this way can we better enter the competition for the regular season!" Wilkens smiled Said to the players satisfied, looking at Payton and Malone, don't mention how excited I am!

"Of course, I don't want to be won by those guys who can only ride bulls in my hometown!" Peyton's eyes flashed with excitement, and he turned his head to look in the direction of the Mavericks. Said.

"That's right, I can't wait to kick those guys' balls!" Ma Long seemed to have some deep hatred for the Mavericks. He looked like he was fighting, and he clenched his hands tightly. Suddenly spread throughout the rest area of ​​the Warriors!
In the rest area of ​​the Mavericks, Donnie Nelson first took a cautious look at the direction of the Warriors. After seeing Malone and Payton who were fighting high, he couldn't help but secretly smiled wryly!
Among the signings this summer, Nelson tried many times to bring Payton and other star players into the Mavericks.

However, with Malone and Payton directly announcing that they joined the Warriors very suddenly, this directly made Nelson's wishful thinking come to an end!
After failing to chase Malone and others, Nelson set his sights on Jason Kidd and Tim Duncan, who are free agents.

However, with the involvement of the Spurs, coupled with the revelations from the media and some self-proclaimed insiders, Nelson is gradually getting further and further away!
When they finally launched an attack on talented players such as Jermaine O'Neal, the final ending really made him bitter!
Now, judging from the lineup of the Mavericks, although their strength has not been lost or enhanced, after all, in this summer when all teams are competing to strengthen, their lineup is really difficult to guarantee that they can finally be like the last one. The season generally enters the final Western Conference finals!

"Damn!"

Nelson cursed secretly, and turned his head to look at the original team from last season, especially after seeing LaFrentz with a casual face, he was so depressed that he was about to cry!

"Cough cough!!"

After a while, Nelson coughed twice to attract the players' attention, glanced at the tactical board in his hand, and said with a serious expression: "In this last preseason game, I hope you can play our best form, I don't want to lose face in front of the Warriors again, get it??"

"Understood!!"

However, since Nelson finished speaking, the answer to him was Josh Howard, who just joined the Mavericks this year, and several newcomers!

For a moment, he seemed to feel a trace of Nelson's anger. Under the leadership of Michael Finley, the Mavericks' shouts finally satisfied him!
"drop!!"

Following the referee's whistle on the court, players from both sides walked to the court one after another to start the warm-up before the game!
In the preseason, although it is basically a period of training newcomers and rehearsing tactics, in these games, the energy and state of a team can still be seen!
Just like now, Kyle Korver on the Warriors' side really made a big splash!
With the cooperation of his teammates, he is like a scoring machine, constantly shooting the ball at every shooting point on the three-point line!
When the warm-up was about to end, Korver used a super shooting rate of 15 of 13 shots, which really surprised the other players of the Warriors!

"This guy's shooting ability is simply too powerful!!" Bruce looked at the court with wide eyes, excited, and couldn't help saying to West beside him!
"Haha, as I said before, as long as Kyle can develop his ability to create points, he will be a very terrifying and powerful killer!" West's eyes flashed with excitement, and he was really proud of his vision Endless!
"drop!!"

As the referee on duty blew his whistle again, the players from both sides walked off the court one after another amidst the cheers of the fans, making the final tactical arrangements before the game!

"Okay, kids, we'll still use the twin-tower tactic!" Wilkens took out the tactical board, glanced at the surrounding Malone and other new players who joined the team, and explained very quickly stand up!
"drop!!"

After a while, with the sound of the game whistle, the main players of both sides walked to the field one after another!

"Guys, come on!!"

I don't know if it's because of signing a big contract in the summer that Duncan's charisma has become stronger and stronger.

After the rest of the people heard Duncan's shout, they all nodded vigorously to him!

　The first update, try to pay back the debt today!
