In this way, there is still a price but no market. Countless posts have been posted asking for tickets, but almost no one will sell the tickets. Although the Warriors are far behind in the away game, the enthusiasm of the San Francisco fans is unstoppable.

With 82 crazy performances in one season, the Golden State Warriors have won the love of many fans in San Francisco, California and the United States with their enthusiasm and enterprising spirit.

The famous Hollywood actress Jennifer often brings her husband, movie star Pete, to the Warriors’ home court. In addition, many American stars and movie stars also appear at the Warriors’ home court from time to time. Los Angeles is not far from San Francisco.

This day, Verus finished his free throw practice and walked towards the direction of his residence. He is now a dad and has to rush back to cook dinner for the little princess Shuanger. The little girl likes to eat Verus's cooking if she doesn't like takeaway. Chinese food.

A tall figure suddenly appeared, blocking Verus's way. Verus looked up and saw that it was O'Neal Jr. holding a basketball, wearing wet training clothes on his body.

Verus asked in surprise, "Hey, Jermaine, where are you going? Your house is over there."

O'Neal Jr. said in a low voice, "Hi, Verus, I came here specially to find you. I know that you practice free throws for two hours every day."

Verus' eyelids moved slightly, and he said, "Oh, yeah, what's the matter with me, why don't you go to my house and talk about it. But I suggest you change your clothes and take a shower first, or you'll catch a cold."

O'Neill Jr. said: "No, just say it here, soon."

Verus had to stop and said, "Okay, tell me, I'll listen."

O'Neal, who has always given the impression of being shy, stared at Verus with firm eyes, and said: "I know that you and Lenny are for my own good. I didn't play too much time in the playoffs. Most of the time I just sat on the court. Off the court, watching your teammates get knocked around by the shark, it's not good, and I'm part of the team."

Weru hesitated for a moment, and said, "About the team, you'd better go to Lenny. I'm just the manager of the Warriors, and I don't care about any specific team's affairs."

O'Neal laughed and said, "I've approached Lenny, and he said that as long as you agree, he is willing to send me to play at home in the third playoff game."

Verus was silent, and after a while he said: "Jermaine, you are only officially playing in the NBA for the first time this year. It is for your own good that you are not allowed to play. The Lakers will definitely pick and roll or switch positions so that the Sharks can hold the ball. Focusing on you, your weight and strength are too disadvantaged."

Jermaine O'Neal resolutely said: "I know, you and Lenny have always taken care of me in the regular season. As long as the opposing team has a strong inside line, they basically don't send me to play. What is left to me is always a soft playing style." , an opponent with average physical strength."

O'Neal continued: "But now the Warriors have reached the last game of life and death. I hope to contribute to the team. Even if I am overthrown countless times, as long as I can still play, I will not give up. Escape can never grow into the NBA." Superstar."

Verus was stunned, he was speechless, he pursed his lips and said: "I understand what you mean, I will talk to Lenny, and he will decide the specifics, the future of our Warriors is still very long , The momentary victory or defeat is actually not important.”

Jermaine O'Neal left without looking back. He returned to the training hall with the basketball in his arms. All the Warriors players are training hard. After a season, everyone has been fully rotated and adjusted. In terms of physical condition, the Warriors must be the entire team. Best nba playoff team.

On April 2001, 4, the Warriors played at the Oracle Arena. Fans crowded the place a few hours in advance. Verus thoughtfully set up enough TV broadcasting venues, so that many fans who could not buy tickets could also Being able to get together and watch the Warriors' playoff games for free, San Francisco fans haven't seen a shadow of the playoffs in years.

The Oracle Arena was covered with lanterns and banners, and more than half of the faces were yellow-skinned and black-haired. Chinese fans from the Chinese community in San Francisco and San Francisco gathered together and rushed over to cheer for the Warriors at home.

The Golden Gate Bridge on the chest of the white jersey, and all Warriors home fans uniformly wear Warriors T-shirts. Verus customarily gave each Warriors home cheering fan a one-size-fits-all Warriors commemorative shirt.

In a sea of ​​white, the defending champion Lakers of the away team are ready to go, and the Warriors of the home team began to broadcast the list of players.

"Let's take a look and take a look. The first one to come out is the legendary center No. 34 big dream Hakeem Olajuwon. Let us welcome him with the warmest applause."

"Uncle Mu who will play next, as well as Donyell Marshall, Mark Jackson, and Bruce Bowen Jason Terry, etc., as well as the Chinese player Hu Dong, he is an indispensable member of the Warriors this year."

The atmosphere in the playoffs is completely different. Every time a player on the visiting team catches the ball, every free throw shot will be blocked by the crazy shouts of the home fans, although this generally does not have much effect.

But the psychological impact is still there. Generally speaking, every away game in the playoffs is difficult to play, but Verus has never used those outside the game. The Lakers eat well and live well, and the whole team praises the Warriors. The club is interesting enough.

"Big Ben of the Warriors beat Shaquille O'Neal by jumping the ball today. Wallace, who bounced amazingly, was not as dull as he looked. Hughes of the Warriors dribbled the ball across half court and handed it to Tracy McGrady to organize the offense."

"Warriors No. 1 Tracy McGrady made a pass to Jr. O'Neal inside. Jr. caught the ball with his back to Grant Cobra. He turned around and scored with a small hook. He played very confidently today, and his movements were done in one go and neatly."
