Chapter 130: The First Battle

If Yao doesn't meet Boss F., if Nash doesn't get traded to the Suns, if Webb doesn't meet Princeton, if Chamberlain doesn't meet Mourning?

It is undeniable that the Spurs are a successful team, but it is also undeniable that they can't produce stars like Kobe and Iverson.

It was a profound conversation that changed Chamberlain's career path going forward. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 Info has always been educated in moderation, believes in teamwork, and believes that the most successful team is Chamberlain of the Pistons and Spurs, so he did not become a civilian hero like Billups and Duncan! In this way, Mourning taught Chamberlain the last lesson he could teach - how to become a superstar!

This is indeed the lesson that Chamberlain lacked the most!

On November 4, the second day of the NBA regular season opener, the SuperSonics ushered in their first game of the 2004-2005 season - an away challenge to the Atlanta Hawks led by Anthony Walker!

The Eagles, who joined the league in 1949, are a team with an honorable history: from Pettit to "Pete the Gunners" to "The Best of Human Cinema", the Atlanta Hawks are not the first team that comes to mind when people talk about franchise tradition.

But the Hawks have the longest history of any team, and in the 1999-2000 season, with the worst record in history of 28-54 losses, they began their long rebuild.

The Eagles in the 04-05 season, as they did in the previous three seasons, changed their head coach again, with the vast majority of the team's main players!

Head coach Mike Woodson, who is the opponent in this year's Spurs finals, is an assistant to Pistons coach Larry Brown. The star of the house is Duncan's opponent in college, a rare "panacea" in the league, and now the "fat head" Anthony Walker, who is now a small forward. Point guard – Kenny Anderson. The scoring spot is Joan Barry, who is new to trade this year. The power forward is high school player Al Harrington, who got it from the Pacers. The centre-forward is Pridrager Drobniak, the leading striker of the Serbian and Montenegro national team.

Here, Chamberlain also met his old friend, the league's "evergreen" - Kevin Willis, this is Willis's 20th NBA season!

During the warm-up time, Chamberlain came to the side of Kevin Willis, his mentor and friend from the Spurs, and after a brief greeting, when the cheerleaders started to play, the two said goodbye to each other and returned to their respective players' benches to listen to the final tactical arrangements of the head coach!

Players from both sides started to play, with Mourning still standing in the centre circle, opposite Al Harrington. As the referee's whistle blew, Al Harington scrambled to touch the basketball with a younger and healthier body. Kenny Anderson catches the ball with his left hand, and like most orthodox point guards, he takes the basketball around his own half first, and only when the players are basically in place does he start pushing to the front court to direct the offense!

This year's "Fat Toutuo" is not as watery as that of later generations, and the variety of offensive means makes it very difficult to defend him. In addition, Lewis's thin body couldn't cause him much hindrance, and he skillfully used his body to catch the ball, pressing Lewis to jump and easily score the ball!

The offense and defense switched, and the supersonic speed in the offense was like a tide, quickly surging towards the Eagles' half. Although he has only been with the team for a short time, his understanding of fast offense makes it easy for Chamberlain to fit into this tactic. Mo Ning also relied on his rich experience in the arena and did not let himself become a shortcoming in tactics!

Liberated from hand-to-hand combat on the inside, Chamberlain was given more room to move, and as Ridno controlled the ball and quickly advanced towards the Eagles' half, Chamberlain blocked Joan Barry, who was defending Ray Allen.

Shooting quickly without affecting the hit has always been Ray Allen's famous stunt. After receiving the basketball from Rednow, as in normal practice, he jumped slightly outside the three-point line in the open space, and the basketball flew in the air before the defensive Walker arrived.

The ball that flew out seemed to be a cannonball, and it hit the target with a "bang".

Atalanta's ball market is not very good, and the team's sluggish performance has made fans seem to have lost confidence in this team. After Ray Allen hit a three-pointer, he high-fived Chamberlain in celebration, and the half-percent attendance of the Philips Stadium was surprisingly small and thin.

Anthony Walker, who was the first boss, had an unusually strong desire to attack today, and he snuggled up to Lewis with his broad shoulders, and he asked Kenny Anderson for the ball again. After receiving the ball, he made a very standard back-to-back break, easily got rid of Lewis, and strode towards the free throw line.

Chamberlain and Mourning should be the two people with the strongest defensive mentality on the field. Chamberlain, who has been trained by the Spurs for a year, habitually stands in the way of Anthony Walker. The common problem of geniuses is to look down on others, and Anthony Walker, who was once touted by the media, did not care too much about Chamberlain, who had recently become famous, and was more of a contempt in his heart, a desire to destroy the beautiful bubble that the media gave to Chamberlain, and he also had.

Compared with Chamberlain, who is still in the rookie period, Mourning, who has already proven himself, obviously makes Anthony Walker more wary. Rushing into the free throw area, he didn't dare to use his much stronger body to press more shooting space, but slid a step sideways, with a kind of banter on his face, and pulled out his hand with confidence.

Anthony Walker was unusually confident in this ball, but as soon as he made a shot, he felt that it was dark in front of him, and Chamberlain's domineering figure covered all the light in front of him, bringing his mood from confidence to fear.

Having defended Garnett, Rasheed Wallace, and O'Neal, Walker's small moves were not worth mentioning in Chamberlain's eyes. The moment Walker made a move, Chamberlain predicted where he was going to shoot. It was very easy, and in front of Walker's eyes, Chamberlain's infinitely larger palm slapped it on the basketball fiercely.

With a "snap", the basketball crossed Walker's ear and fell into the hands of Lewis, who was chasing him.

Aggro!

Lewis didn't stop when he received the unexpected ball, and quickly threw the ball into the hands of Ridno, who had already begun to charge, and Ridno took a few steps with the ball, and passed it to Ray Allen, who had thrown off Joan Barry, before Kenny Anderson could get close.

Now Ray Allen rarely dunks, but he didn't miss this rare opportunity, under the empty basket, catching the pass is a long-lost backhand dunk!
