This is Kevin Willis' nineteenth season in the NBA, and he has not pursued much here, and he understands that most of what the team needs from him is his game experience, so he doesn't mind accepting the task assigned to him by Popovich at all. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

And wouldn't it be a very good choice for him to get a job as a basketball coach after retiring, so he guided his "experiment" very seriously, and Chamberlain's miserable life began.

The next day, Chamberlain ran out of opportunities to practice his team's tactics, and he began to practice with Kevin Willis alone.

"Every league team has at least four or more interior players, and every year they add a number of eliminations, so you have to learn to play against different styles of them. ”

This old ball ruffian showed a serious side at this time.

"So what do I do?"

Necessary skills for a good student - follow the teacher's train of thought and ask questions that you don't understand.

"Some of these people are tall, some are powerful, some are nimble, some are focused on defense, and some are sharp in attack. There are superstars, and there are benches that can be cut at any time. But it's more about people like me who are called "blue-collar" workers. All I can teach you is how to deal with me, and my nineteen years of experience. So, get ready to be baptized, rookie!"

Willis finally let out his wicked grin.

How difficult is it to defend against an old ball ruffian? It can be imagined that a foreigner who has used chopsticks for a year can compare the speed of eating with chopsticks to us.

Although Willis's ability has deteriorated quite seriously with age, but in the case of being very familiar with each other, Chamberlain was still ravaged by the other party very badly, and of course, Chamberlain's ** practice has also made great progress.

If Chamberlain has improved in these two days of training, it would be very unintuitive to describe it, then we can intuitively say that he has gained 3,700 points of experience in these two days.

But time flies and we don't stop because we have expectations. Willis, who is very happy to abuse people, and Chamberlain, who is also happy to be abused, have come to an end for the time being. It's game day, and the Dallas Mavericks are taking on on the road.

The Dallas Mavericks are an amazing team that rebuilds often and succeeds every time, but is insulated from a championship.

At this time, the coach of the Mavericks was still Nelson Sr., Nash did not leave Phoenix, Finley was in the prime of life, and David Blane had just recognized Nowitzki as his godson. This is an opponent that is not inferior to the Nets in terms of strength, although they have not yet achieved results.

In this game, Chamberlain sat with Willis, and Mr. Willis was teaching Chamberlain how to deal with River-Lafrentz.

'You have to learn to observe when you can't play, which is something that a great player has to learn and most of them have had a rookie season like you.

"Now you think of River Lafrentz as your opponent, and if you don't see it, he's very soft-played, and like you, he's a left-handed, and he has a three-point hand that isn't very common on the inside. So what are you going to do with him? Look, Duncan..... Well, that's not for you. If I were you, I would choose to follow in his footsteps and cool him down when he feels his hand, just like now, although Nesterovic has fouled, it is necessary."

"Also, when you attack, you have to pay attention to Lafrentz as a good blocker, you have to be on his guard at all times. You look at this rebound, you notice no, his rebounding ability is not very strong, then your opportunity comes, at this time you don't need to go to the card position, you can take the initiative to grab the rebound. A qualified blue-collar worker must choose different methods according to the different opponents, and only in this way can he better help the team"......

"Now you're playing against him, Greg Ostertag, you can see he's very big, you have to be careful against an opponent like that, it's not a wonderful memory. You see, he has a very narrow range of movement, almost just under the basket, and he doesn't pass. It's called a defensive center, and when you play against them, you have to do it differently, and I'm talking about rebounding, and he doesn't have to think about scoring at all. When you are grabbing rebounds with him, most of the time you will not be his opponent, at this time, you only need to contain him, and let your teammates do the rest.......

"I think you already know about this shark.....

"Look at Curry, he's an offense-focused center, which isn't very common in the league, you have to be familiar with his scoring methods, and it's not a smart choice to play with that kind of guy. He's also very good at rebounding, and you're going to have to use your brains against him........

Throughout Christmas, the Spurs played another 17 games, and apart from two games against the Mavericks and two games against the Lakers, the Spurs' remaining opponents were not very strong, which also gave Chamberlain a lot of opportunities to play. After Willis's explanation, coupled with his own experience on the field, the current Chamberlain is no longer "Amon three days ago". But unfortunately, in the game of the Rockets, for some reason, Chamberlain did not play.

Since Chamberlain has been with Willis almost all the time these days (sleeping in a room away from home), Chamberlain's experience has increased rapidly, earning two or three hundred points of experience almost every day, which also allowed him to increase his experience to 21,000 points in the team's last game in 2003. Although it is still very far away from his next "training camp"!

During this time, Chamberlain's height also increased, and he grew two centimeters taller than in the summer, reaching a height of two meters and a zero. However, his weight has gained very slowly, and with the help of nutritious meals, he has only been able to increase his weight to 95 kilograms so far.

In addition, the most obvious change is his popularity, as the number of matches increases, his negative reputation growth begins to slow down, but his fan value has broken through the 70,000 mark, well, it still doesn't work, but watching more and more people support him and like him, it just makes people feel happy, doesn't it.

The bad news is that as he plays more and more games, he gradually becomes known to some people, which makes him no longer able to cause careless fouls by others, and his help to the team has begun to decrease again and again.

This seems to confirm Popovich's judgment of him!
