Chapter 140: Revisiting the Old Place
After a day of intense tactical training, the next day the SuperSonics began to rush to the third game of the new season, and the first two games were resolved in half of the battle, coupled with Chamberlain's triple-double, making the SuperSonics game very interesting. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
But the significance of this game is more than that, because their opponent is the San Antonio Spurs!
As the successor of the "Admiral" who was pinned on by the San Antonios, one of the main contributors to the team's championship, and the youngest "triple-double" player who got the "Sky Hook" and "Dream Footsteps", Chamberlain's return to San Antonio caused a huge storm in the media!
Without getting the opportunity to interview Chamberlain, they used words like "speculation" and "prediction" to add selling points to this game! What happened to Chamberlain when he was at the Spurs in the past was also turned over from the past and republished with a new title!
"Nesterovic or Chamberlain Popovich made the choice before the playoffs!"
"The reason why the super rookie left the Holy City!"
"Chamberlain takes revenge on the Spurs, Nesterovic may be humiliated!"
"Duncan vs Chamberlain, the two heroes of the defending champion!"
"Shield & Spear, Streak VS Streak".....
San Antonio was like a thorn in Chamberlain's heart, a thorn that had been stinging him since he was on the way here, and made him feel very uncomfortable.
Not nostalgia, no disgust, just a kind of guilt for Popovich, after all, it was this old man who brought him into this arena! Ever since he left here, he had avoided everything about this place, but today he could no longer avoid it!
"It's a very important game and I want you to give it your all! They are the champions, the best team in the league, nobody's looking forward to us, no, so we have to win today! We have to win this one, shut them up and show them that we are not as vulnerable to the big teams as they say!"
In the away team's dressing room, McMillan stood in the center of the game, making the final game mobilization, and his expression was unusually firm and serious when he spoke!
"Guys, let them see what we're capable of!"
In McMillan's impressing gaze, Ray Allen also turned around and said to his teammates!
After saying that, he took the lead out of the locker room and went straight to the players' tunnel.
When they walked out of the dimly lit tunnel of players, they were greeted by swearing and boos from the sky, "Get out of the SBC court, you soft egg who will fall at the slightest touch", "Traitor, you garbage that no one wants"....
In this naked insult aimed at himself, he felt a pair of eyes glaring at him, and the moment he ran out of the player's tunnel, Chamberlain's body seemed to be burning with flames, and his heart beat violently like never before, a strong anger that wanted to vent, filling his whole nerves.
"Don't care about Zhang, use your performance to return all this and throw it in their faces!"
It's Mourning again, when Chamberlain was in trouble, Mourning once again played the image of a big brother. He put his hand on Chamberlain's shoulder, and said to Chamberlain in a slow tone, gritting his teeth!
"I think Zhang must be very sad now, he would never have thought that the people of San Antonio would welcome him in such a way, this former hero who won the championship here!"
On the commentator's seat, Barkley sighed softly.
Because of the excitement of the game, the league broadcast the game live, and the commentators were Barkley and Kenny Smith, and there was a special guest - David Robinson.
"It's that the fans here love Zhang too much and have high hopes for Zhang, all because they are sad about his departure. ”
As the former king of the city, David Robinson defended the fans here.
"Okay Charles, don't look compassionate, you can't fool me, you poor fellow!"
It was Kenny Smith who spoke.
"Hey, Kenny, don't you think Zhang is pitiful to be so insulted by his former fans?"
Smith's surprised Barkley, but he didn't think much about it, because the two of them raised the bar and were already an important way for the two to get along.
"Championship, championship ring, look, Zhang is already showing off his championship ring! Are you envious, Sir Charles?"
According to the league's rules, last season's championship ring will be given to the team that won the final victory on the first home court of the next season. In the championship team, players who transfer away will be distributed when they first challenge their old club away from home.
Of course, there will be special circumstances, such as Sun Yue of the Lakers in the future, whose championship ring was mailed because he did not find his next home!
Getting a championship ring is a very happy and sacred thing for an NBA player, but Chamberlain, who is in the louder noise of the fans here, does not have any of the above feelings at all!
"Are you well, Mr. Popovich?"
Even though the negative emotions were filled with his heart, Chamberlain still did not forget the etiquette of being a man, and after receiving the ring, he sent greetings to Popovich, who helped him a lot!
"I'm a good boy, you've done a great job lately, congratulations. ”
As Popovich spoke, he hugged Chamberlain.
"Welcome back to San Antonio, Chang. ”
At this time, Duncan also walked here and gave Chamberlain a hug.
"Welcome back!"
Bowen, followed by Ginobili, Parker. Even Nesterovich has a big smile and hatred.
For these former partners, Chamberlain responded one by one, hugging them one after another, and the scene that was like a life and death enemy just now began to have a little warmth.
"Oh fuck, aren't they enemies?"
Barkley vomited powerlessly at the sudden change in atmosphere. Life never stops, and this is the great Barkley!
"Watch your words, Charles, you're a public figure, though no one likes you!"
The good guy Kenny, as usual, seized on Barkley's loophole and taught him a lesson with righteous words. While teaching him a lesson, don't forget to hurt him!
"That's very touching, isn't it?"
Different from the mood of the two watching the play, David Robinson's mood at this time was more gratifying, and he thought of everything he had experienced between him and Popovich and between him and Tim Duncan!
"Alright, the game is on, and the two sides start jumping the ball!"
