Chapter 1: Chamberlain

On November 3, 2002, last season's West Coast League champions, the Gonzaga Bulldogs, finally played their first game of the new season. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Chamberlain was in the team's locker room, tying his shoelaces repeatedly. Yes, he was a little nervous. He came here with great ambition, thinking that it would give him everything he wanted, but reality gave him a slap in the face.

In the previous warm-up game, he played very badly, and his body was too thin, which made him seriously lack the ability to fight. He knew that there was less and less time left for him, and he had to prove himself as soon as possible, although he was thin, he was not suffering!

"But you're still going to be successful, aren't you?"

Looking at his left hand, Chamberlain whispered in his heart. He already had some ideas on how to solve his current predicament, but he wasn't sure if it was feasible.

As for why he looked at his left hand...... Rest assured, there is absolutely no such thing as an unruly love story in this!

Although he was born poor, he didn't have much work, Chamberlain's skin was still relatively fair, and the "five girls" on his left hand were also very delicate and slender, but Chamberlain was not so "lovely" looking at his wrist for this reason. His left wrist is no different in the eyes of others, but Chamberlain can see that there is a tablet embedded in the back of his left hand.

This is also the main reason why Chamberlain came to the United States and joined the basketball team! It is also the biggest source of confidence and support for him on the court!

"It's coming!"

After the players began to play, Wang Juekai whispered to the compatriots sitting next to him.

Wang Juekai didn't say who came, but the people around him still found the person they were waiting for at a glance. Because he was also a man of the same skin color as them, he walked at the very end of the players, and the first impression was that he was tall and thin, as if he could be blown by a gust of wind. Then people pay attention to his face, which is quite masculine..... Pseudo-mother's face!

"Brother Kai, this thin man can also play basketball?

Looking at Chamberlain sarcastically, an equally masculine young man who had dyed his hair purple said to Wang Juekai.

Wang Juekai also looked at the player with the same sarcastic eyes, and said in a somewhat cold tone: "So if we want to save this lost lamb, the hillbilly should study and work according to his duty, instead of playing basketball on horses!"

However, Chamberlain did not notice that Wang Juekai, who was sitting not far from him, had never experienced such a scene, and he had only participated in a few warm-up games of the team, and he had been shocked by the surging applause and cheers of the fans like a volcanic eruption.

However, this made him forget the tension and anxiety in his heart, and forget all the distractions in his heart!

Chamberlain suddenly jumped to the basket, reached out and grabbed the rebound that his teammate missed, and he didn't stop when he fell to the floor, jumped up and turned again, and threw the basketball with his hand.

The basketball crossed a graceful arc and landed firmly in the hoop.

His movements are very standard, all the movements are done in one go, they are so natural and harmonious, without the slightest trace of deliberate carving, and can always bring a wonderful external visual experience to the viewer.

In different locations, after hitting three shots in quick succession, Chamberlain finally caught the attention of the fans.

"Is he our freshman this year? His shooting looks so strong, is he the guy the team is looking for to replace Dandy Kaw?"

Fans who have been worried that the team will be drafted by an NBA team this summer will make the team decline in strength, can't help but have great hope for the team's performance in the new season.

Mark Foeu, the head coach of the Bulldogs, shook his head with a sad look on the sidelines: "It's a pity ....."

Chamberlain's outstanding performance in the warm-up, in a lively scene of kicking and clattering, Chamberlain's shot like a cruise missile also attracted the attention of the opposing head coach.

With a frown, he reached out and wrote a 34 on the tactical board and drew a circle on it.

"Brother Kai, this kid looks like he's playing basketball well!"

Looking at Chamberlain, who was like a star on the basketball court, the purple-haired young man couldn't help but be surprised.

"Haha, you'll find out later!"

Wang Jue smiled mockingly.

Soon, the warm-up time was over, and the players from both sides returned to the pitch and gathered around the manager to listen to their final arrangements. Usually there is nothing to say and almost all teams will solve all the problems in the dressing room, but today Mark Foyu's opponents really picked up the tactical board and readjusted the team's tactics.

"Focus on defending their No. 34, no matter what position he plays, and the other players pay attention to the help defense!"

If Mark Foeu heard this, he would probably laugh out loud, because ...... Their number 34 was not a starter at all.

Well, although this made the opponent a little confused in the first two minutes of the opening two minutes because of the "unexpected" lineup arrangement of the pit bulls, the pit bulls still did not let this joy last long.

Since the departure of the team's only NBA-caliber player, Dandy Cour, the rest of the roster has been too mediocre, including their current core, Blake Staple.

As the first quarter drew to a close, with the Bulldogs leading by seven points, head coach Mark Foeu began to bring on the team's bench, without Chamberlain's name on it.

This surprised the opposing head coach again, in order to let the newcomer grow smoothly, put it on the bench for a period of time, which he could understand, but he couldn't even play as a substitute, so he couldn't help but have a big question about the "training" method of the bulldog!

Chamberlain sat back on the chair in disappointment, but Wang Juekai, who was sitting in the audience, was even more disappointed than him, because in this game, he prepared a "big gift" for Chamberlain!

At this time, the purple hair beside Wang Juekai also began to be restless, and he looked at his mobile phone boredly: "Brother Kai, can this thin monkey play, don't let us wait in vain, this basketball looks meaningless!"

They're not basketball giants, and they're not here to watch a so-called basketball game.

"He'd better pray he can't play, or he'll regret it!"

Wang Jue fiddled with the camera in his hand, and from time to time pointed the camera in his hand in the direction of Chamberlain. He had bought it for Chamberlain.

Time passed minute by minute, the first half of the game between the two sides ended quickly, although the bulldogs were very serious on defense, the lack of offensive ability allowed them to be quickly opened up by the opponent 11 points gap, but Chamberlain still did not get the opportunity to play. He's just the team's third-small forward right now, and if he wants to play, it's garbage time.

But God seems to be particularly fond of Wang Jue, he can always do everything he wants, when the game entered the fourth quarter, not long after the start, the Bulldogs were given a 23-point lead by the opponent, completely bringing the game into garbage time.

"It's coming!"

Under the attention of Wang Juekai and his "cheerleaders", Chamberlain got up from the seat excitedly and quickly took off his coat.

When a person takes off his clothes, you can really see whether he is fat or thin, and when Chamberlain loses the cover of his coat, it really surprises people: "A man can be so slim!"

"Oh my God, is it possible for him to play basketball like this?"

Of course, this is a matter only for the home fans, and the opponents of the Bulldogs don't care about this, they would rather the opponents are all "disabled"!

Chamberlain's shortcomings that cannot be concealed made the opposing point guard smartly send the basketball in his hand to the small forward opposite him for the first time.

However, this is exactly the opportunity that Chamberlain was waiting for. The opponent's small forward broke through with the ball, and Chamberlain, who was paying close attention to his movements, took a diagonal step and stood bravely in front of him.

But ..... "bang", Chamberlain lost his position, and he was knocked to the floor by the brutal break of his opponent.

"Hahahaha!"

Purple hair laughed happily, and Wang Jue quickly gave Chamberlain a close-up.

On the sidelines of the court, Mark Fuyu, the head coach of the bulldogs, shook his head slightly: "It's a pity that he is too thin to be suitable for basketball, which is a very confrontational sport, it is hard to imagine why God gave him the tenacious will to be able to train his basic abilities so standard or even strict, but he was stingy with giving him a decent body!"

"It's still too slow!"

Chamberlain shook his head uncheckably, his first attempt failed, he originally wanted to cause the opponent's offensive foul, but his reflexes failed to allow him to gain a foothold before the opponent's attack arrived!

Embarrassed to get up from the floor, but Chamberlain was not frustrated, and he did not have the time to devote himself to the team's attack.

Chamberlain was very fast on offense, almost running across the court behind the opposing players, which made the opposing head coach, who was very wary of his shooting ability, couldn't help but shout on the sidelines: "Small forward, watch your defenders!"

The small forward heard the coach's advice and quickly posted it, but Chamberlain didn't give him a chance to get close at all, dodged him like a loach, and broke into the interior without hesitation, and then pulled it near the bottom line.

Newcomers are usually not trusted, but Chamberlain managed to gain respect with his ability to shoot the basketball. The team's point guard quickly passed to him like a basketball.

The opponent's big forward hurriedly came up to help defend, but Chamberlain jumped up against the opponent without fear.

Oxlade-Chamberlain's height is about the same as his opponent's, both over two meters, and the opponent's bounce ability is clearly much better than him, which raises serious doubts about his court vision and attacking options.

The opponent's power forward also thinks so, and he can't help but increase the strength of his palm, for him, it is very rare to have a beautiful block data. But soon, the look on his face turned to horror!

"Oh my!"

At this time, people finally saw Chamberlain's extra-long arms.

The defender's height in the air was half a head higher than Chamberlain's, but his palm could only touch Chamberlain's wrist.

was hit in the arm by the opponent, which did not make Chamberlain hesitate at all, he still firmly threw the basketball in his hand to the basket, and his shooting posture was not deformed at all at this time!

"Brush!"

It's the best music in the world, at least for the fans at the time.
