Chapter 595 Defeating the 76ers
In the home court of the Philadelphia 76ers, Bruce sat in the stands with a relaxed face. He watched the seemingly lively game on the court, but he still felt very comfortable in his heart!

On the court, the Warriors players who have returned to their standard state are really eye-catching on the offensive end. Even the 76ers now have Dalembert, who has a very good inside defense, and Kenny Thomas, who has a good shooting percentage. But they only play inside, and now in the Warriors' offense, they really seem a bit too thin!

After the first quarter, the Warriors led the 10ers with a 2:76 climax at the last moment without any suspense!
Back off the court, Wilkens smiled and explained some tactical considerations to the players. After the 76ers changed their coach, it was obvious that the new coach's patience was still too lacking!
"Gentlemen, if you can only play this kind of game, I think we don't have to fight for this year's playoffs!" Chris Ford said to his players with a gloomy expression. Finally, he couldn't help but look at the stands behind the players!

There, Iverson and Coleman were sitting there silently with unhappy expressions!

"Hey!!"

Ford sighed secretly, to be able to take over the stall of the 76ers, for him, this really seemed a bit rushed to the shelves!
This season, during the personnel changes last summer, Larry Brown directly replaced Rick Carlisle, who was very likely to win the best coach this year, and finally entered the Pistons to train those bad boys!
However, with the departure of Larry Brown, the 76ers, who desperately needed another coach, finally found Chris Ford, who had been idle at home for many years, as their new coach!
This old man who has been the head coach of the NBA team since the early 90s, after receiving the invitation from the 76ers, he really thought about it for a long time!

Iverson's character is destined to cause headaches for every coach. Although as an old coach who has coached for many years, Chris Ford is really not as good as Larry Brown who has already slapped his ass and left.

Now, although the 76ers still retain the hope of final promotion, in the absence of both Iverson and team veteran Coleman, coupled with the fact that other players are not so good, this stall really makes him not good at all. Much less hair gone a lot!
"Well, gentlemen, if you can do as I ask, I think we still have a chance to beat this mighty Warriors team!"

Seeing that the players stopped talking for a while, Chris Ford got angry secretly for a while, and then said slowly with some helplessness!

Afterwards, when Ford finally finished his tactical concept and arrangement, the game between the two teams started again at the referee's whistle!
The second quarter of the game is very important for the 76ers. Once they fail to hold on to the score of the Warriors, I am afraid that they will basically have no chances after entering the second half!

Just like the current scene on the court, after the Warriors replaced their own substitutes, the 76ers still put their main players here, trying to do everything possible to catch up with the lagging score!
On the court, Eric Snow brought the basketball into the frontcourt with a calm expression. This season, as Iverson continued to experience some unexpected injuries, this made Ford trust this psychological quality more than employing people. Very good black defender!
"Aron!!"

After Snow came to the frontcourt, he yelled loudly, and then saw their former super sixth man, Aaron McGee, slipping to the baseline at an extremely fast speed, and quickly ran to the three-point line past!

In terms of speed comparison, Ginobili is a European player, but his speed is obviously not as fast as McGee!

When McGee quickly received Snow's pass, Ginobili was one step behind, barely keeping up with the opponent's footsteps!
I saw that after McGee got the basketball, he leaned over and charged inside, really like a black and shiny black cheetah!

And Ginobili, who followed closely behind, followed closely beside McGee like a poisonous snake ready to attack at any time!
The action of the two rushing to the inner line quickly made Duncan and Dalembert, who were entangled in the inner line, subconsciously vacate the space in the inner line for them!

As for the players standing in high positions and on the outside, they also subconsciously shrunk to the inside position!
When Ginobili and McGee quickly rushed into the penalty area, John Salmons, who was ambushing at a position 45 degrees outside the three-point line on the right, suddenly shouted!
"boom!!"

There was a muffled sound, and the strength and speed of McGee's pass were really vividly displayed!
I saw that after Salmons received the basketball, he first adjusted very quickly, and then even as Nowitzki approached hastily, he directly raised his hand and shot the basketball out!
"brush!!!"

The wonderful crisp sound of a basketball passing through the net made the fans, who were still a little dull before, burst out of their previous depression. For a while, the whole arena burst into enthusiastic cheers and applause!

"It's not easy!!"

Even though Salmons' goal was very beautiful, in Bruce's view, this goal was really not easy!

"Hehe, I hope Manu can respond to him with his own performance!"

Wilkens was sitting off the court, he adjusted his glasses on the bridge of his nose, and said to himself with a smile on his face!

Sure enough, when it was the Warriors' turn to attack, Ginobili directly used his weird and unpredictable breakthrough, and gave the 76ers a strong response with the most direct attack!
The following game completely became a confrontation between the two sides. Here, Salmons used his very high shooting rate to keep causing trouble for the Warriors!

However, the Warriors have a very strong offense. Under the power of Ginobili and Nowitzki, their super high shooting rate of bombing internally and externally directly suppressed the 76ers team with only one outbreak!
"Whoa. Whoa.."

A heavy gasp came from the mouths of the main players of the 76ers. Judging from their sweating profusely and holding their knees from time to time, it was obvious that they had consumed a lot of energy!

Chris Ford sat on the sidelines with a dejected look on his face, watching the main players on the court who couldn't keep up with the rhythm of the Warriors, he could only call a timeout helplessly in the end!
"Derek, should we come back early?" Iverson looked at his teammates with a complicated face, and asked Coleman, who was sitting next to him, who was still very indifferent!
"Hehe, why did you come back??"

Coleman said something pointedly, and then said with some emotion: "This is no longer the team that excites me!!"

"you.."

A flash of anger flashed in Iverson's eyes very quickly, and he turned his head to look at Coleman with a regretful face. He really didn't know what to say for a while!

For a player who has lost his confidence in pursuing victory, Coleman has obviously fallen completely!

After he signed a two-year contract worth more than 800 million US dollars, he has obviously completely lost his fighting spirit!

Once upon a time, Coleman averaged close to a double-double per game, and averaged double-doubles per game for as many as six seasons, basically belonging to one of the top forwards in the 90s!
However, as people say, if Coleman can change his lazy personality, he will definitely become one of the top power forwards in the league!

Now, even if he wants to be that kind of player, his body doesn't allow him to do so!
Iverson, who has been a teammate for many years, can only completely give up on this guy's attitude, and at this time, he inevitably has an idea of ​​whether it would be better to leave here!

After that, as the substitutes of the 76ers and the main players of the Warriors came on the stage one after another, the gap between them became bigger and bigger!

In the end, when the Warriors beat the 116ers with a score of 98:76, their March game ended!
After returning to Oakland, the Warriors' performance this month, under the evaluation and analysis of Wilkens and West, made the players understand some of their problems!
At this time, Bruce has already begun to think about the playoffs that will start in less than half a month!

"Honey, what are you thinking?"

Charlize Theron was eating a plate of delicious fruit salad, looking curiously at Bruce who was frowning and thinking about something!
Ever since his return, Charlize Theron has been curious.

Now, seeing Bruce still frowning and thinking like this, his curiosity suddenly magnified!

"It's nothing, I'm just thinking about something about the finals!" Bruce smiled and reached out and picked up a piece of strawberry from the salad, put it in his mouth, chewed it twice, and continued: "This year's playoffs, for us Let’s just say, the road to defending the title is not that simple!”

"Among the teams that are likely to enter the playoffs this year, the performance of the Timberwolves is simply amazing. Their record is a bit too unusual!" Bruce frowned and said slowly, even Charlize Theron was just a little I understand a little, but when he said these words, his thoughts were obviously more like the attitude of wanting to analyze with someone!

"Look, their record is about to catch up with us. If they can maintain this strong state in the regular season, they may be our biggest opponent after entering the playoffs!"

"Huh? Could it be that team with a bald head who only knows how to yell at guys on TV?" Charlize Theron couldn't help saying with a hint of a smile when she thought of Garnett's appearance.

"Hahaha, your description is really apt!" Bruce laughed a few times, and then got bored with Charlize Theron!
