Chapter 229: The overall situation is chaotic
After a few days of recuperation, Chamberlain's wrist injury has completely improved, but the outside world has become more and more critical of SWAT and the rough enforcement of the law by the American police, and now the captain of the SWAT tactical detachment, Captain Sjett, has resigned, according to the San Francisco Police Commissioner Zari Zab, who commanded his SWAT to treat Chamberlain roughly without obeying orders.
Of course, these are digressions and have little to do with the current game. After Chamberlain's wrist improved, the old Nelson needed him to be fully involved in the offense, and the current Spurs are very different from the Spurs in the early 21st century, although they are still tough defensively, they no longer rely only on defense to play the world, and the offense is just as good.
Nelson Sr. needed Chamberlain to lead the Warriors' offense, and the defense was too physically and energetic, so he sent Evans to deal with Duncan specifically, which is why Evans was able to start.
After Thurmond's ****, Evans is no longer the rebounding idiot with rough defensive skills, he clings to Duncan, jams the opponent's leg with his knees, and also pushes Duncan with his strong chest, making the opponent unable to stand firm.
Chamberlain easily stuck Oberto behind him, waiting to defend Duncan at any time, and he didn't think Evans could handle Duncan alone.
But he didn't expect Duncan to be so difficult.
In the face of Evans' rough defense, Duncan's difficult dribble, Evans thought there was an opportunity to reach out for the ball, but Duncan turned flexibly and easily shook off Evans's tight defense, as soon as he got the vacancy, he immediately took a sideways step to the right wing forty-five degrees, and jumped out.
The basketball hit the rebound, and with a crisp sound, the ball fell into the hoop.
Suddenly, the ATT stadium rang out with a uniform cheer: "TD, MVP!" TD,MVP! ”
Chamberlain picked up the ball and handed it to Billups, and said stupidly: "What a fucking slut, but it just scored a goal, and it's still a fucking MVP?" ”
Billups smiled but didn't say anything, he dribbled the ball around the outside for a while, Chamberlain mentioned that Evans was standing under the basket in the high post, he made a look, Evans suddenly ran out, and Chamberlain turned around and rushed to the basket.
Duncan followed up in time but was denied by Evans, who immediately shifted the ball to Chamberlain, who faced Oberto.
Oberto is slower, less agile and less powerful than Chamberlain, and all he can do in the face of Chamberlain's onslaught is foul.
In this way, Chamberlain's basket was forced to become an Oberto foul and stood on the free throw line, and he was opposite a group of fanatical Spurs fans, countless people waved glow sticks at him, and at the moment he raised the ball, the boos of the audience suddenly raised a notch, and Chamberlain shook his wrist and came directly to a three-no.
The audience immediately laughed, and Duncan, who was standing under the basket, couldn't help laughing, he pointed at Chamberlain and smiled: "They say that you are the No. 1 center in the league now, that you are very similar to the Sharks' dominance, not to mention anything else, your free throws...... Ha Lu Ha, ah it! ”
The referee looked at him sharply, Shi Buddha quickly shut up and resumed his expressionless appearance, and Chamberlain, who was already full of depression, became happy, and he shouted: "Laugh again, laugh again and you will be sent out of the game!" ”
It's also a wonder in the NBA, and Duncan gives the impression that he has a blank face and almost no mood swings during the game, which is also the source of his nickname 'Stone Buddha'.
But it's not always a good thing to stay calm, and when people get used to someone's habits, once they show the other side, it's seen as an anomaly, and Duncan has suffered at this point, and it wasn't long since last season, in April 2007.
On April 16, 2007, the San Antonio Spurs took on the Dallas Mavericks on the road. At that time, the fans at the American Airlines Center were terrified to see that the Spurs were still leading 70-68, and the old referee Crawford was majestic in the third quarter, first giving Duncan a technical foul.
Subsequently, Bowen bullied the little plane Terry, Clifford waved his hand, and the third uncle also ate a T.
Seeing this, Duncan, who had been sitting on the bench with his hands on his hands and an innocent face, was unwilling to be lonely, and began to use his talent for telling cold jokes, I don't know what Lu Dao said to the players on the bench, but only he was laughing, and everyone else glared at the referee with angry faces.
When Crawford waved his hands at Oberto for a foul again, Duncan leaned back and leaned back with joy, leading the Spurs to laugh more amusing than helpless. Crawford was irritated by this moment, he was obviously quite sensitive to the voice behind him, and after turning around, he first gave Duncan a cold look, and then made a gesture.
Duncan was stunned, the Mavericks were stunned, and the fans at the American Airlines Center were stunned: Tim Duncan, the soon-to-be-31-year-old superpower forward who played in the NBA for nine years, will end the season with his ninth regular-season First Team, fourth championship ring in nine years, and two regular-season MVPs and three Finals MVP trophies in the honor room — the second time in his career that he has been ejected.
The scene at that time was selected as the first funny shot of the year in the NBA, and the funniest thing is that Duncan thought it was someone else after eating T, and twisted his head to laugh at the brother next to him was too high-profile, but when Crawford made the T eater No. 21, Duncan was dumbfounded, he stood up blankly, and there was no reaction for a while.
For this reason, Crawford's old referee was banned by the league indefinitely, the old referee is selfless and has a good reputation in the league, and many new referees have received his favor: when the new referee enters the NBA, he will be bullied by the stars, and when Crawford brings the new referee, as long as any star dares to come nonsense, he will definitely destroy the star who was blown alive rather than die.
So Duncan has offended many referees in the league since then, and they are all paying attention to Duncan, not to mention that Shi Buddha makes small movements, even if it is dangerous to change his expression.
Seeing Duncan deflated, Chamberlain was relieved, and a free throw in the back was very safe and hit it directly.
But then, the Spurs also played a small cooperation, Finley broke through the ball to Duncan, and Duncan hit the board for the second high jumper!
Seeing this, old Nelson was angry, Evans was full of helplessness, he had tried his best, but he alone was not Duncan's opponent at all. Chamberlain had no choice but to play in person, but the momentum of the Spurs had already been played, and while Duncan pulled Chamberlain to a high position, Parker and Finley ravaged the Spurs basket, and the Warriors' offense continued to hit the iron, relying on a breakthrough from Billups to cause Finley to foul, and the Warriors reopened the situation.
But here's the problem, a big-hearted sharpshooter like Billups only hit one of two free throws, so the Spurs led the Warriors 9-2, and Nelson Sr. had to hand in a timeout.
Billups looked at the Spurs' hoop with a puzzled expression, and he asked Chamberlain depressedly: "You say, could it be that San Antonio did a damn magic on the hoop?" There's no damn way I'm not going to score. ”
Ellis nodded again and again, "Yes, yes, it's probably so!" ”
Looking at Ellis, who was trying to exonerate himself, the old Nelson couldn't wait to slap him to death with the tactical board in his hand: he shot three times in a row, two mid-range shots and one three-pointer, and they were all ironed!
After the timeout, Ginobili took off his jacket and began to warm up for the game, Nelson Sr. waved his hand, Barnes pulled Ellis to the bench with a smirk, and West also came on the court with red eyes.
"Roar!" West roared in the sky when he came out, infecting his teammates with his crazy passion. Chamberlain also played, Duncan pulled him and whispered: "Rookie, that kid is said to have rabies?" I think that's supposed to be true, right? What was he just calling? ”
Chamberlain: "Nerd, you fucking **** Lao Tzu, right?" ”
West started running tirelessly as soon as he came on the field, but against Ginobili, this tactic was difficult to do.
Ginobili's agile pace, sharp judgment and impeccable on-court attitude are not masters of defense, and he was fond of gambling when he first entered the league, but he has since broken these bad defensive habits. With a **** like Bruce Bowen, Ginobili has grown rapidly on the defensive end, and his close defense has a Bowen flavor.
In a hundred terms, Ginobili performed well in the face of opponents with average physical conditions and high ball quotient, and was limited by his physical confrontation ability, and it was a little difficult to defend the high-strength and heavy outside line, such as Petrus and Pierce, and every time they met, Ginobili was worse than dead.
Ginobili is a top-notch team defensively, knows how to use the strength of his opponents to complete the defense, his rotation ability is superb, and he has a high level of proficiency in using the interior to compress opponents to break through, and West happens to be good at using the latter offensive method.
West ran fast, and when he got the ball, Ginobili was just thrown away by him, but in front of him, it was Oberto who was waiting for him with a sneer: Ginobili was deliberately behind, and he was just going to force West in front of Oberto.
Seeing this, West did not panic, and immediately stabilized himself to pass the ball to Chamberlain, Ginobili quickly reached out and directly stole the ball, he was waiting for this opportunity!
After the steal, Ginobili rushed to the front court as fast as he saw the poisonous snake of his prey, and when he reached the three-point line, he deliberately broke through with Billups, attracted the attention of the opponent and passed the ball to Parker, and the small sports car roared to the basket, throwing another two points.
The atmosphere in the ATT Centre was about to explode, with fans screaming wildly, hysterically venting their excitement over the team's lead.
It's rare for a team to play 11-2 in the opening game against the Warriors.
Chamberlain began to be anxious, he didn't care about any tactics and strategies, he carried Duncan in the penalty area and reached out to ask for the ball. Billups motioned for him to pull out, but Chamberlain was going to play his own singles, and at this time he believed in his own ability more, because in the regular season, didn't he beat Duncan several times?
The so-called top power forward in history, but that's it, that's what Chamberlain said about Duncan.
Billups saw that Chamberlain was stubborn, so he could only pass the ball in with a wry smile, and as soon as Chamberlain got the ball, Oberto immediately drilled back from outside the box and completed the package with Duncan, as for Evans? Who cares!
Chamberlain savagely hit Duncan, only to be outflanked by the two, he just put away the ball, but was pushed by Duncan and walked, the referee's whistle immediately sounded, and the Warriors lost the ball again!
