Chapter 573 Approaching the All-Stars

On February 2th, US time, there was a lot of speculation before, and the deal about Rasheed Wallace finally came to an end!

After the Trail Blazers negotiated with the Eagles, they will complete a big deal involving five players!
In this deal, the Blazers will pay Rasheed Wallace and a Blazers to balance the salary increase, while the Eagles will pay headed by Sharif Abdul Rahim, Chips for center Theo Ratliff and linebacker Dan DeCau!

Since then, Rasheed Wallace has finally landed in Atlanta, and Abdul Rahim, whose competitive status has declined significantly, will release up to $1463 million in salary space for the Blazers in the summer of the following year!

And when Bruce heard the news, after feeling a little bit emotional, he couldn't help looking forward to it!
If the current deal is still full of surprises and surprises as in the previous life, I'm afraid Rasheed Wallace will not stay in the Eagles for a long time!
Entering Bruce's office, seeing him holding a newspaper in his hand, muttering something sadly, West couldn't help smiling and said as he walked: "It seems that Rashid's matter has a final answer! "

"Hehe, if my source of information is not wrong, I'm afraid there is someone who is silently looking for opportunities!" Bruce put the newspaper aside with a smile, looked at the puzzled West, his eyes playful Blinking: "It's just my intuition, I think since this news can reach my ears, I think it's not groundless!"

"Aha, why haven't I heard of it?" West asked a little puzzled. As an old player who has been in the league for decades, it is impossible for West not to have heard that there are people talking about Rashid Wallace is interested in the team!
However, seeing Bruce's serious face now, this can't help but make West feel a burst of doubt and doubt!

"Aha, I just heard it occasionally, why don't we let us wait and see?" Bruce's eyes flashed with embarrassment, and then changed the subject: "Now that the mid-term trading time is about to pass, and the All-Star is about to With the game in Los Angeles, we can give the players a good rest in the midst of the league's grandeur these days!"

"Hehe, this year's All-Star Game, the players we selected are really surprising!" West said with bright eyes when he heard Bruce talk about the All-Star Game: "Tim, Ben and Dirk's I am not surprised to be selected, but even Andre has entered the Western Conference Star Team, which is a big surprise for us!!"

Thinking of the roster announced by the league for the final All-Star Game, Bruce couldn't help but burst out laughing. The Warriors can't even be described as a complete victory. The fact that they were selected as many as four people simply made the outside world exclaim incredible!

With the Warriors up to four people selected, Ben Wallace's nearly 120 million votes really surprised everyone!
Judging from the players currently voted by the Warriors, Duncan can get nearly 170 million votes, which can be described as well-deserved, especially after the league declared him as the forward position in the Western Conference, Duncan's switching position is only in the league. There were very few doubts.

So far, Duncan's 170 million votes, Wallace's 120 million votes, plus Nowitzki's nearly 65 votes and Kirilenko's 62 votes, the number of votes for the Warriors is simply unheard of in the league!
On February 2, as Bruce flew to Seattle with the Warriors, a large number of reporters came to ask questions, and everyone was chasing the four Warriors players who had been selected for the All-Star Game.

In the press conference before the game, Bruce sat proudly in the media hall of the Sonics, looking at the numerous reporters in the audience, not to mention how refreshed he was!
"Andre, as a rookie selected to the All-Star for the first time, do you have anything to say?"

Hearing the reporter's inquiry, Kirilenko subconsciously glanced at Bruce and Wilkens who were sitting on the right side, and then a flash of excitement flashed in his eyes, and he said slowly with a smile: "For this matter, I have never thought about it so far." It's like I'm dreaming!"

"Being able to enter the All-Star Game, I think there is no player who is not very eager!"

"Now, it is my honor to represent the Warriors in the All-Star Game, and I am very grateful to Mr. Bruce for taking care of me and Mr. Lanney for his training!"

Hearing Kirilenko's very sincere words, Bruce and Wilkens looked at each other, and then nodded in secret joy. No one doesn't like compliments, right?

However, when a reporter in the audience suddenly asked a question, the whole audience became a little noisy!
"So, what do you think of this year's No. [-] pick Carmelo Anthony's remarks?"

"Wow!!"

There was a faint noise, which made Bruce's expression suddenly darken, all because of some episodes after the announcement of the All-Star Game roster!

I don’t know if it’s because of his young age, but after seeing LeBron James enter the Eastern Conference’s bench lineup extremely well, this Western forward, who is only about [-] votes behind the opponent, directly moved to a slightly ahead His Kirilenko bombarded violently!

Some unsavory ridicules still make Bruce frown on this Mr. Tanhua!
But after hearing the reporter's question, Kirilenko turned out to be a general, obviously not very concerned about it!
"A rookie can be selected to the All-Star Game in his rookie season. I think it is the dream of every player who enters the league. No one will not be excited about being able to enter the All-Star Game!"

"Of course, as a professional player, what I want to say is that ability is the source of fans' love, and it's not just because the team gives them unlimited firepower that they can be loved by fans!"

"Wow!!"

Although Kirilenko's remarks seemed very plain, from the words after him, everyone could see that the man called "AK47" came from Russia with a strong taste!

And Bruce, who heard what Kirilenko said, couldn't help but look at him with admiration after secretly being surprised!
Afterwards, even though some reporters were still obsessed with this issue, Kirilenko, who was already very mature, responded to these guys with no comment, or simply ignored it!

After finishing the pre-match press conference, Bruce patted Kirilenko on the shoulder with a smile on his face to express his support!
After entering the locker room, the players of the Warriors seemed to have entered into the topic between Kirilenko and Anthony in an instant. While changing their jerseys, everyone used their sharp words to express their support for the brothers!

Slowly tidying up everything, looking at the teammates who supported him one by one, Kirilenko said in his heart that he was not moved would be a lie!
Afterwards, as a supersonic staff came to urge, the warriors were in a lively atmosphere, and the players walked to the court one after another!
Entering the arena, looking at this already somewhat aging arena, Bruce couldn't help but think of the team that moved to Oklahoma in his previous life and had been renamed the "Thunder" team!

Looking at the shabby venues around him, Bruce couldn't help shaking his head helplessly: "If Oakland's home court is like this, and they also have the words of Seattle's procrastination, I'm afraid I will also feel helpless and angry. Bring the team to San Francisco!"

For a moment, as the game gradually started, Bruce smiled at himself, and then focused on the court!
After the Sonics lost Payton, they gradually entered the rebuilding process with the rise of Ray Allen and Rashad Lewis!
Although the pace of their reconstruction is not very smooth, but with the full contribution of the two, this team still makes people see their gratifying side!
In the starting lineup of the Sonics, Bruce is very familiar with the exception of Allen and Lewis. Radmanovich, even Bruce couldn't help but shine!
"Haha, the embarrassing thing about Evans dribbling and walking is really as if it is still in front of my eyes!"

Thinking of the funny moments of XX embarrassment after O'Neal retired in the previous life, Bruce couldn't help laughing, thinking of the embarrassment of that guy after he dribbled and walked stiffly, which made him sigh that this rough guy, rough is really joyful!
On the court, as Duncan lightly slapped the basketball to Billups, the game between the two teams began!
The Warriors launched a powerful offense from the very beginning. Even though the Supersonics played against the Warriors' attack in the first quarter under the performance of the super duo on the perimeter, their performance was not as good as time went by. It really seems like a drop in the bucket, after all, their lineup removes their two cores, and the offensive ability of the rest is really unflattering!
"drop!!"

As the whistle sounded at the end of the first quarter, the Warriors easily took the lead in the first quarter at 30:25!

After the two sides entered the confrontation in the second quarter, Ginobili, who was sent to the court by Wilkens, really made Ray Allen very depressed!
Smart pace, weird breakthrough, coupled with Ginobili's amazing running position, even Ray Allen's speed is not bad, but under such a weird attack, he couldn't help but appear I felt a bit of a big head!

As the game progressed, I don't know if Ray Allen's advantage in shooting has gradually slumped because he focused entirely on the defensive end!
"drop!!"

As the new supersonic coach Eric Musselman, after discovering something bad, he directly called a timeout. From here, we can also see the immaturity of this new coach. If it is If Wilkens had a problem with Ray Allen, he would call a timeout without hesitation!

Bruce, who was sitting in the stands, couldn't help but a look of surprise flashed in his eyes when he found this guy in his early 40s. It was all because this guy had been the head coach of the Warriors for two years in his previous life. !
