On November 1, 1993, there were 4 days left before the NBA 93-94 regular season.

Long Island, New York-Island Garden Arena

Paul Westphal is directing the team to begin the final tactical training.

Last month, the team just added a few unsuccessful players into the team.

The current New York Hans team has a complete lineup.

Alonzo Mourning, who was reimbursed in the All-Star Game last season, has also returned to the team and is currently in good shape.

Considering that Alonzo Mourning has just returned from injury, he can only be arranged for recovery training by the team doctor Thomas.

In the first few rounds of the regular season, Alonzo Mourning could only sit on the sidelines for the time being.

However, the competition within the team is still fierce.

Especially Anfenni Hardaway, "Penny" has been completely invincible since being placed at the small forward position by Paul Westphal. The offensive end gave Hu Weidong, who had just won the Asian Championships, to Hu Weidong. It's blown out, and the defensive end is also very good, not to lose as the successor of the old hooligan.

The most important thing is that Paul Westphal also arranged several sets of tactics, of which Anfinni Hardaway was placed at the point guard position.

Although Anfini Hardaway was a forward guard in his previous life, don’t underestimate his possession and passing. You must know that the Magic duo formed by him and Shaq O’Neal at that time was no weaker than the Lakers’. OK" combination.

Hardaway’s comprehensiveness is not only on the court, but also in the locker room. He doesn’t like to compete with the team’s superstars as much as so-and-so. He always pays silently for the team. This is hard to be valuable. .

In the new season, according to Bruce's statement when he left, Anfenni Hardaway will be placed at the small forward and point guard position as the main force.

The main thing is to give Avery Johnson and Bruce Bowen time to play for stats. Bruce must complete the deal before the Spurs ask Popovich.

...

When the team's players finished a day of training, they were all called by Paul Westphal.

"Everyone performed very well. The regular season will start in a few days. I now announce the starting roster and the alternate rotation roster in advance."

Everyone underneath looked at each other, and all of them were quite excited. They all wanted to be included in the list of 12 people.

Last season, the Blues traded most of the team cleanly, so now the New York Hans are mostly rookies.

"Centre: Sam Perkins, power forward Charles Oakley."

Paul Westphal took a look at these two veterans, and it was really helpless to arrange these two veterans. According to his idea, Chris Gatlin and Bissen Dler left the team to start. As a result, both of them were traded by Bruce.

In the preseason game this year, the players who came to try out the two positions are not even a little bit different in ability, which leads to the team's internal substitutes emptiness. Once the team starts the substitute rotation, needless to say, the inside is directly blown up. It is certain.

"The center forward is replaced by Bo Otero, and the power forward is replaced by Robert Horry."

The undrafted Bo Otero played the power forward position, but since Alonzo Mourning could not play the game, he had to put together a center forward to replace him.

The same is true for Robert Horry. Fortunately, Bruce Bowen can withstand the small forward position, which liberates Robert Horry to the power forward position.

"Small forward: Anfenni Hardaway, shooting guard: Hu Weidong."

"The small forward is replaced by Bruce Bowen, and the shooting guard is replaced by David Wesley."

"Point guard: Avery Johnson, replaced by Doug Rivers."

"Darryk Martin and Elliott Perry are both point guards, and you and Doug Rivers will rotate on the injured list at that time."

"Don't worry, I will give you more playing time."

After that, Paul Westphal left with several coaches.

Who came up with the unreliable lineup idea this day? Of course, it was the chief assistant who just joined the team, Rick Carlisle!

Paul Westphal was so worried about this lineup that he couldn't eat well and couldn't sleep.

He thinks this team's roster is a hole, so I won't mention it inside. Why do point guards have so many points?

At this time, Carlisle found Paul Westphal to mention his ideas to the head coach.

Paul Westphal is still quite satisfied with the new chief assistant next to him. At least he has a good ability. He can play the preseason with the team's remnants and he can actually get second place.

Although Rick Carlisle is still relatively immature, he has already become famous and handsome.

Fax this year's team roster and player data to the Blues in China.

After Bruce got the list, everyone checked the position.

Specially made an overseas phone call to Paul Westphal.

The reason for making this overseas call is that all these arrangements are plans for Bruce to create for his own goals, but at the expense of Paul Westphal's coaching performance.

To be honest, Bruce also feels sorry for this good coach.

After specifically calling Paul Westphal to apologize sincerely, Bruce also finally conveyed his goal for this season, just a word of "bad".

...

The NBA regular season of the 93-94 season officially kicked off on November 5.

The New York Hans were placed on the away game this year to challenge the Chicago Bulls, which was the league champion last season.

Before the game started, the old hooligans made a special trip to thank Bruce again in front of the Chicago home fans. After the speech, they hugged and shook hands with the New York Hans players one by one.

Give the live audience, and even the fans watching the live broadcast in front of the TV, a very harmonious feeling.

After the game...

Everyone was stunned. The touching scenes in front of the feelings were fake. The old gangster kept pressing Hu Weidong and Anfenni Hardaway.

Fighting the two will almost doubt life.

What about a harmonious atmosphere?

Saying that a good Bruce is his own good friend, etc., is it all fake?

What a grudge and grievance the old hooligan must have!

The offensive end is not mentioned, the defensive end let Hu Weidong only score 10 points in the first three quarters of the game.

You know, Hu Weidong averaged 23.8 points per game last season!

This hit Hu Weidong back to his original shape.

The audience was very excited, because they saw the old hooligans in the first game and showed the momentum to play the playoffs.

With the extraordinary performance of the old hooligans, the Chicago Bulls beat the New York Hans 122:106.

At the press conference after the game, the reporter also asked the old hooligans why today's game will show the momentum of the playoffs and even the finals.

The old hooligan exaggerated: "A few months ago, I went to the hometown of Bruce, Hua Guo. It is indeed a beautiful place. I like it very much."

"Of course, our family went there not only to travel, but to thank Bruce for saving my father's life."

"Originally, I wanted to repay Bruce, but he refused. He said that the purpose of saving people is not for people to repay. If you really rely on this to reciprocate to the other party, then saving people will lose the original meaning!"

The media reporters at the scene were also moved by the upright image of Bruce portrayed by the old gangster.

"Then he made a small request to me in a tactful way, that is, when you meet the New York Hans in the future, you will fight to death and don't keep your hands."

"I know he wants me not to be burdened with the idea of ​​repaying my favor in the New York Hans game, so I agreed to this small request."

"In the future, I will also play with all my strength in the New York Hans games."

The head coach of the New York Hans, Paul Westphal, was holding his head silently. It was enough. The owner was really uneasy. Someone called the opposing player to beat his team to death!

The media reporters at the scene all laughed. The feeling is that Bruce asked Jordan to teach his team how to be a man!

...

Anyway, Bruce was brought on fire by the old gangster again.

Poor Bruce has no idea what happened in the United States. At this moment, he is still listening to the teacher in a certain elementary school in Shancheng!
