Chapter 60: Don't Let Me Bow My Head

At 10:30 a.m. domestic time on April 18, the Spurs' first playoff game began, and the opponent was the Memphis Grizzlies. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

The other 14 teams also kicked off: Boston Celtics and Indiana Pacers, Houston Rockets and Los Angeles Lakers, New York Knicks and New Jersey Nets, Milwaukee Bucks and Detroit Pistons, New Orleans Hornets and Miami Heat, Dallas Mavericks and Sacramento Kings.

The San Antonio SBC Center, a playoff-stimulated market, is more prosperous than ever, and the crowd cheers are much louder than ever.

The game was incorporated into the rhythm of the Spurs from the beginning, and the young Grizzlies, when attacking, could not break free from the large net created by the Spurs, nor could they cut off the high-post passes of the tightly played Spurs.

Chamberlain sat on the bench, much quieter than the other six, until Popovich was scheduled to come off the bench, his eyes flashed for a moment, and then quickly extinguished, Popovich did not have a chance for Chamberlain, and he was replaced by another sophomore, Willie Brown.

Maybe Chamberlain should be excited, because without this point of his own, the Spurs' "small ball" not only did not open the score, but because of several turnovers and control of the rebound, the Memphis bench seized the opportunity, and Popovich had to call a timeout. You must know that in the Spurs' bench, Chamberlain has always been the point where the team controls rebounds, and even if he can't control it, he can help his teammates get better protected rebounding opportunities.

However, Popovich still didn't give Chamberlain a chance, and he chose to change tactics and switch to Kevin Willis to play the traditional Ginobili one-shot tactics.

Either way, the Grizzlies and the Spurs are no match for the strength, and Gasol can only be a tragedy against Duncan, and with Nesterovich's extraordinary courage today, the Spurs won the game on their home court, 95-74.

The results of several other games also appeared one after another, and there was no big upset, if you have to say that it was an accident, it was the one between the Rockets and the Lakers, the score was 72:71, Yao Ming and Francis almost taught the Lakers F4.

In the second game the next day, Chamberlain still didn't get a chance, and the Spurs went to the next game, 87:70, Nesterovic was still brave.

In this round of the game, the New Orleans Hornets can be regarded as a strange team, 63:93, a net loss to the Heat by 30 points, an ultra-low score, enough to go to the score difference of the shame column, and became the main object of ridicule in the media on this day.

On the other hand, the Bucks, Reed rose in this round to lead the team to a 1-1 win in Detroit, the only 1-1 to date.

But no one is paying attention to them, is Detroit strong at this time? No one thinks so!

On April 22, the Spurs, who won two in a row, went to Memphis, and the home court advantage made the Grizzlies much more tenacious, and the game became anxious from the beginning, and Chamberlain, who felt that he was hoping to come, also opened his eyes wide, and Chamberlain, who had never had such an urgent desire to play, was finally disappointed, and he still did not get even a minute of playing time.

At 95:93, the Spurs still won.

The team rested for three days, during which Chamberlain began to become restless, and he thought more than once about knocking on Popovich's door and bowing his head to Popovich to admit his mistake.

Bowing to the mighty has all been done by all, even if we are not wrong. Chamberlain, who bowed his head in his previous life, regained his true nature in his previous life at the important moment of choice in his life.

This is an important mental journey in his life, a cautious otaku, a vain desire to change his past self, a reborn with huge ambitions, these two attributes began to slowly merge.

Beauty, tattoos and music are an important part of the NBA, and this story has made another of Chamberlain's iconic tattoos - Don't Make Me Look Down!

In the end, although he didn't go, it also made him face his heart - he didn't want to give up basketball yet!

"The end of the world hasn't come yet, and I've just lost the 'heavenly hook' that wasn't mine!"

The sky is still the same sky, Chamberlain is no longer the same Chamberlain, the change of heart has dispelled the haze, and the smile finally began to appear on his face again, this time it is no longer a disguise!

Sometimes, people are like this, it seems far from success, but often it is an idea or a method that is missing!

Chamberlain was far from succeeding, but he had decided not to be afraid of failure!

On April 25, the fourth game between the Spurs and the Grizzlies began.

The defeat in the third game seriously affected the team's performance in this game, and it was doomed to be swept away at the beginning. Despite all his strength, Gasol is no match for the "greatest power forward".

110:97, this is the result of the Spurs release in the fourth quarter.

Chamberlain still didn't play.

Rockets, still Rockets, the young champion gave people a different kind of momentum, and although the restrained big man was not yet strong, he had enough obsession with winning, and he forced the Lakers with a gorgeous lineup into overtime.

He didn't lose to anyone, he lost to his physical strength.

Final 92:88.

The Pacers eliminated the Celtics 4-0, the Nets eliminated the Knicks 4-0, and the Spurs eliminated the Grizzlies 4-0, and these three teams ended the first round first-round games first, waiting for their opponents in the next round.

On April 28, four more teams ended the schedule one after another, the Pistons eliminated the Bucks 4:1, the Lakers eliminated the Rockets 4:1, the Timberwolves eliminated the Nuggets 4:1, and the Kings eliminated the Mavericks 4:1.

At this time, there were still Heat and Hornets in the entire NBA who did not distinguish the winner or loser, and Davis suddenly broke out after two consecutive slumps, winning three games in a row, rewriting the score to 3:2, and then began to languish again, and lost the sixth game again.

On May 4, the Hornets lost to the Heat 77-85 and were eliminated from the game.

The Heat's next opponent is the Pacers, and the Nets' opponent is the Pistons, and in the game that began on May 2, the Nets scored a terrifying 56 points, and were besieged by Rally Brown Bucket and suffocated.

The Spurs met his old rival, the Lakers, and Nesterovich, who was still stalgiving, helped Duncan win the first game, 88-78.

The Kings also defeated the Timberwolves, who were playing at home, 104-98 on May 4.

In the second round of the playoffs, the situation began to turn confusing.
