Chapter 180: The Interrogation of Compatriots
The SuperSonics took advantage of Chamberlain's last-minute steal to secure their seventh win by two points. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć Info Chamberlain had 29 points, 11 rebounds and 13 assists, beating Webb and was voted the best of the game.
At the post-match press conference, as soon as Chamberlain finished answering the question raised by the reporter of "Sports Illustrated", he saw a young woman with a great oriental aesthetic holding the microphone in her hand and asking a sharp question in crisp English with the taste of the motherland that Chamberlain missed.
"Hello, Mr. Zhang, I'm Lin Mo, a reporter from Sports Weekly, there is news in China that you will become a Japanese citizen, is this true?"
Young people who have just entered the society have not yet learned to hide their feelings, and on that face that has not experienced many vicissitudes, there is a cold and biting frost, and those eyes that still look immature, reflecting the killing intent that pierces everything.
"Nope!"
Chamberlain, who was smiling at his compatriots, suddenly became gloomy when he heard this, and after a little thought, he understood that it was a trick performed by those people, and looking at the face that was no longer kind at this moment, he replied indifferently and neatly
There is a market for any lie, and Chamberlain finally paid the price for his impulsiveness, and in the days that followed, he suffered from the same problem again and again.
On November 5, just after the SuperSonics beat the Kings, they went to Memphis to challenge the Grizzlies led by Gasol, who had a close relationship with Chamberlain.
Gasol was unusually hot in this game, and when he was not favored, he scored 27 points on 12-of-17 shooting in the half, helping the team to go into the second half by two points. At the beginning of the second half, the supersonic speed suddenly made a force, and a wave of 11:3 turned the point difference into double digits, but the continuous away games finally made the long-ailing Mourning have physical problems, and in the 8th minute of the third quarter, he could no longer support it, and was reluctantly replaced by James by McMillan.
Without the protection of Mourning, the core of the defense, James's inaction made Chamberlain difficult to support alone. Losing the protection of the interior line, the pampered Seattle outside shooter during this time, after two consecutive iron rebounds were obtained by the Grizzlies, the imbalance of mentality made their hands cool down suddenly.
When the team couldn't open the situation, Chamberlain got instructions from McMillan and decisively took over the game, making continuous inside strong plays, allowing the Grizzlies' main center Knight to leave the court with six fouls, leading the team to play a wave of 9:0 shockwaves, extending the team's winning streak to eight.
"What's your Japanese name?"
However, this is Chamberlain's last memory of this game after the game.
On November 17th, the superSonics with a day off hosted the Philadelphia 76ers, after a quiet quarter, Ray Allen's hand completely exploded, and Chamberlain's blocking and dismantling cooperation made him soar nine three-pointers in the whole game, 115:102, a crazy nine-game winning streak, so that everyone began to face up to the rise of the supersound, even the most critical experts could not deny the progress of the supersonic new season.
"Excuse me, have you received a call-up to the Japanese team?"
On November 19, the SuperSonics hosted the visiting Raptors, Chamberlain was in a slump, scoring a season-low 15 points, 13 rebounds and 7 assists, and Bosh, who was opposite him, had 27 points, 16 rebounds and 3 assists. If it weren't for Ray Allen's three-point shot at the end of the game, the Raptors, who shot less than 40% from the field, would probably have escaped from Seattle.
"Mr. Zhang, Coach Delko Pavrichevic admires you very much and is willing to build a new Japanese team with you as the core, do you have anything to say about this?"
On this day, during a game between the Pacers and the Pistons at the Pistons' home court, a player-fan scuffle broke out, known as the "Auburn Hills Palace Incident".
The frustrated NBA commissioner David Stern, who no longer had time to heed the insulting gestures used by Chamberlain in the game against the Kings, handed down an unprecedentedly heavy punishment to the two teams that were fighting!
Denver, Nov. 20 (Xinhua) -- The 2-year NBA All-Star Voting Campaign kicked off today in Denver, USA, which will allow NBA fans around the world to cast valuable votes for their favorite players, and the All-Star players selected by fans around the world will be used as the lineup for the 54th All-Star Game at the Pepsi Center Arena in Denver on February 19, 2005, U.S. time.
In the official list of candidates announced by the NBA, the names of Chamberlain and Yao Ming are prominently listed.
On November 21, the SuperSonics challenged the Nets away!
After the opening, Kidd showed a strong desire to win, and the two open encounters with Richard Jefferson completely ignited the atmosphere at home, and under his leadership, the Nets were in good shape, and the team's shooting percentage remained high, making the supersonic without Chamberlain's main scoring point helpless.
In the crucial fourth quarter, Kidd burst out all his defensive enthusiasm, so that the supersonic outside line without internal support was completely dumb, no matter how McMillan deployed, in the end did not change the team's decline, 105:89, the lowest score of the new season, and the hot trend of ten consecutive wins came to an end.
In the whole game, Chamberlain played 27 minutes, made 3 of 10 shots, 1 of 4 free throws, and scored 7 points, 3 rebounds and 1 assist
"I'm the one who bothered you, didn't I, Aaron?"
Putting Chamberlain's head on his lap, Rina sat on the bed, and her two small hands gently rubbed the temples of her lover, who was trying to pretend to be nothing.
In the past few days, Chamberlain has gathered not only American media and Chinese media, but also Korean media from Japan and South Korea.
"Don't think too much, Rina, there are some things I can't escape!"
Looking up at Rina's sad eyes, Chamberlain raised his arm back, touched her cheek, and smiled with relief. Even if there is no Rina, there will be other excuses after all, Rina is just the right time, her nationality is too sensitive for the Chinese.
"They knew my phone number through my mom and I didn't know anything about them and I thought it would give you more fans. ā
This is a little woman who can't put too much pressure on her, and although she has repeated this sentence countless times in the past few days, today, she habitually purses her little mouth and has glands in her eyes.
Two days ago, the media from Japan made an appointment with Rina by phone. This incident was finally learned by the domestic media, which poured a large barrel of fuel on the originally fierce situation.
