Chapter 558 The Warriors Defeat the "Three-Headed Monster"

Chapter 558 The Warriors Defeat the "Three-Headed Monster"

The locker room of the Warriors was suddenly silent. Everyone was frowning and looking at themselves, especially Duncan Nowitzki, who was the star star. They were frowning and thinking, subconsciously comparing the beginning of this season with the last one. The start of the season made some contrasts!

After a while, when only the players were left in the locker room, Duncan looked at Nowitzki with a serious face, and said very cautiously: "For us, a championship is obviously not enough, especially when we While already winning the championship, building a dynasty will be what everyone is pursuing!"

"That's right, although I haven't experienced Bill (Russell)'s glorious past, but I am very eager to be like him. When I retire, my hands are basically full of rings!!" Nowitzki said very seriously. His teammates said, from his firm tone, everyone could hear his determination and longing!

After the two of them finished talking, everyone subconsciously fell into deep thought!

In the arena, Bruce frowned silently and thought about something. The very good cheerleaders on the field did not arouse his interest at all!

"Jerry, do you think anyone on the team will be content with the status quo??"

After a while, Bruce frowned and turned to West and said, the look of anticipation in his eyes really moved West a little!

"For the current Warriors team, what they lack is not their competitive state, but their own mental state!!" West thought about it secretly, and then continued: "Especially after we suddenly won the championship, even if we A very good player, at the beginning of the new season, he must go through this psychological test, once they fail to get rid of the hints in their hearts, I am afraid that the future of this player is only a star, not a superstar!"

"yes!!"

After listening to West's words, Bruce couldn't help but secretly nodded!

Every year since he took over the Warriors, the team has improved at a speed that astounds everyone!

Especially after Duncan was brought into the team last season, this feeling has become more intense!

However, with the final victory of the championship, not only the mentality of the Warriors players has undergone some changes, even Bruce, who accompanied Charlize Theron before, seems a little too satisfied and slack now!

"I really hope they can get out of the psychological hint as soon as possible!!" Bruce said with a frown, and then frowning looked at the court in a daze!

In the locker room of the Warriors, Duncan and others expressed their feelings one after another. When Malone and Payton expressed their declaration of winning the championship affectionately, the entire locker room was suddenly overwhelmed by a strong fighting spirit. Surround!

After that, as the players from both sides walked out of the player tunnel one after another, amidst the cheers of all the fans present, the main players of both sides walked towards the stadium one after another!

"Uh...why did you always feel a little different before?" Barkley couldn't help muttering as he watched the replay of the first half in mid-air.

"Hehe, I'm afraid this is a kind of psychological barrier to winning the championship!" Kenny Smith is obviously more experienced, especially his experience of winning the championship with the Rockets for two consecutive years, which makes his words now particularly weighty!

"How to say??"

Barkley looked at Kenny Smith with a puzzled expression. Curiosity was clearly greater than agreement with what he said!

"Hehe, let me just talk about it briefly!" Kenny Smith thought for a while, and then said with a serious face: "For a championship team, if they can always show their desire for the championship, then The results are better!"

"Once they show a little slack, or even a little satisfaction, the feeling of the whole team will make people frown!"

"Just like the Spurs before, although they won the championship in a shortened season, after all, their players have paid their own efforts and contributions!"

"However, now?? The current Spurs are undergoing a seemingly extremely fast rebuilding work!"

After hearing Smith's words, although Barkley was still a little puzzled, but when he thought of the Spurs winning the championship that year and their performance in the following seasons, he finally showed a little bit of surprise!

"Uh. You mean that after the players won the championship, their mentality has changed, especially their hunger for the championship!"

Kenny Smith smiled and nodded vigorously to Barkley: "Yes, this is the psychological change brought about by the huge gap!"

On the court, after the two discussed this issue, the main players of both sides walked towards the court one after another!

The Warriors in the first half are obviously not the same as the current Warriors, especially Duncan and Nowitzki, who are the main players, they feel really eye-catching!

"drop!!"

A whistle sounded, and under Bavita's call, Billups quickly received Duncan's pass!

"Man, the championship is what we want!!" Duncan said to Billups with a serious face when he passed by, and then slowly ran to the frontcourt under the careful watch of the other party!

After entering the frontcourt, although Garnett and others still followed Duncan and others, their aggressive defense really failed to reflect the power of it!

"boom!!"

After a muffled sound, Billups rushed straight to the inside line with his strong body under the intense physical contact with Cassell!

In the tactics of the Warriors, Billups' organizational responsibility is not very conspicuous, especially in the threat of the twin towers of Duncan and Nowitzki, his role is not so lacking. No!

However, now with Billups' resolute breakthrough, even though Garnett and Olowokandi on the inside pay more attention to Duncan and Nowitzki, they still suffer from slack after all!

"Shhh!!"

After entering the penalty area, Billups seemed to have returned to the feeling of playing shooting guard before. When Garnett and others failed to save, he made a quick stop jumper and directly completed the attack. !

"Damn!!"

Garnett watched Billups run backwards towards the backcourt expressionlessly, he clenched his fists subconsciously!

In the third quarter, as the core players of both sides gradually opened up, the role of the rest of the players was obviously weakened. This entire quarter of the game gradually became a duel between the stars of the two teams!

"drop!!"

When the whistle sounded at the end of the third quarter, the Warriors still led the Timberwolves by 5 points with their impressive shooting percentage!

After returning to the court, Philip Sanders said to Garnett and others with a serious face: "In the next game, I hope you can play our characteristics, especially the control of rhythm. The rhythm is shifted to our side, otherwise it is only possible for us to lose in the end!"

Hearing what Sanders said, Garnett, as the boss of the team, took the lead in setting his own example: "I am very much in favor of Philips' arrangement. As the last quarter of the game is about to start, I hope you can show My own characteristics can show our wolf pack spirit on the defensive end, so...Come on!! Guys!!"

After hearing Garnett's words, the rest of the players showed bloodthirsty in their eyes, like real wolves, ready to choose and devour at any time!

On the side of the Warriors, after explaining a bit, Wilkens specifically told Ginobili and others who were about to play: "Children, next, I hope that you can use your own speed to completely drag down the Timberwolves. Substitute lineup, only in this way can we gradually tilt the balance of victory to our side, so... boys, come on!"

After that, with the encouragement of Wilkens, Ginobili and others walked to the court with high spirits!

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, Ginobili used his unreasonable playing style to directly overwhelm the Timberwolves' defense, especially Trenton Hassell, who was facing him. What a shame in front of the home fans!

In the first 6 minutes after that, the Warriors relied on the impact of Ginobili alone, not only failed to organize a very effective counterattack, but eventually there was a trace of chaos!

When Ginobili scored his 16th point of the game again with his weird breakthrough and rhythm, the Timberwolves finally couldn't help calling a timeout!

"Gentlemen, our lineup is no worse than the Warriors, but your current performance is like a college league team. It makes me feel terrible!" Sanders blushed, looking Looking at his players, he couldn't help but explode!

"Look at Manu, he only played 22 minutes in this game, and you guys let him score a whopping 16 points!!"

Sanders yelled at the players angrily, obviously very dissatisfied with their performance!

"Tronton, if you really have no way to prevent Manu from scoring, I will be very happy to replace you, and in the following games, I will also give you some time to think about what belongs to you!!" Sang Des suddenly said to Hassel with a gloomy face, looking at the defensive pioneer he had relied on before, Sanders couldn't help but feel unhappy!

"Sorry, Philips!!"

Trenton Hassell frowned and hesitated for a moment. Seeing that Sanders' complexion was really bad, and after Garnett beside him touched him kindly, he frowned and chose a temporary compromise!

After Sanders heard Hassel's words, his frowning brows slowly relaxed, and then he explained to others the tactical arrangement for the next 6 minutes with a serious face!

"drop!!"

Dick Bavita obviously didn't want both sides to stay off the court too much. After he glanced at the signal from the technical stage, he immediately blew his whistle!

Standing in the stands, Bruce, who was still frowning, couldn't help but relax after the Warriors players showed their competitive spirit!

Now, looking at the Warriors players who returned to the court amidst the referee's whistle, he couldn't help smiling and said, "Hehe, this is the team we need!!"

Afterwards, although the Timberwolves once organized a very effective defensive and offensive efficiency, but under the strong response of Duncan and others, the final score could not help but make everyone in the Timberwolves feel disappointed!

In the last 6 minutes, Duncan and Nowitzki seemed to have discussed it, and they all showed extremely terrifying efficiency on the offensive end!

In just 6 minutes, the two of them teamed up and contributed as many as 30 points to the Warriors!

If you add the points they scored before, after the game, the two scored 28 points, 25 points, and large double-doubles with 10 rebounds and 14 rebounds respectively!

As for the Timberwolves side, although the "three-headed monster" performed very well, they only scored some good points!

In the end, the game attracted the attention of most media and fans before the game, and the Warriors ended the game with a score of 108:100!
