Chapter 178: A full stop

Chamberlain was disappointed that he couldn't find Doug's younger brother, and the gray mood did not drift away when he arrived at the training hall, God knows how much he wanted to find Hit, not only because of his friendship with the latter's brother, but also because he knew that as long as he found Hit, Doug would definitely return to the United States.

Doug had been in Iraq for a while, and although the two of them had frequent phone calls or video chats, that didn't ease Chamberlain's concern about him, the place was so volatile right now that every time he saw a horrific incident in Iraq on the news, he was terrified of seeing the name Doug Sudmons on the news.

Sean's appearance gave him a chance to change all this, after all, this guy is the overlord of the streets of San Francisco, and the news is more circulating than his high-ranking NBA star, and he believes that the other party will provide him with some useful news.

In fact, Sean had already given him some useful news just before, such as that according to his judgment, although the fast gunner Hitt was silent, he was absolutely mentally normal, but he was a little autistic.

Chamberlain was a lot happier when he got the news, he couldn't stand the excitement of the death of his parents and the end of his and his brother's professional basketball careers, Hitt once went insane, and now although he has not been found, now that he has returned to normal, Chamberlain does not need to worry too much.

Hitt was very smart, he was very cunning before the accident, and as long as he returned to normal, he would take good care of himself. For example, in the past, he appeared on the street court several times to team up with others to gamble money, relying on the projection of God's permission, and he gained a lot of money every time.

Although he misses Hit, Chamberlain has more and more important things to deal with, the All-Star Game is over, the NBA regular season is in full swing, and all teams are clashing for the playoffs, especially the Spurs, which are old playoff powerhouses, and now they have won eight in a row.

The Warriors also had a good record, and after the victory over the Celtics, they defeated six opponents including the SuperSonics and the 76ers in the rest of February, ending their death month with a hearty seven-game winning streak.

After playing with the Celtics, they first met the SuperSonics, and not long ago at the All-Star Rookie Challenge, Chamberlain and Durant also staged a brotherhood, but then met in the regular season, and Chamberlain immediately mercilessly slaughtered the brother who won the MVP of the rookie game together.

The hero of this game was Monta Ellis, who scored 30 points, and the "bench bandits" West, Azubuuk, and Louis formed a trio of musketeers, who combined to contribute 14 of 14 shots in the third quarter, and combined to score 35 points, completely crushing the opponent in this quarter.

In the first quarter of the game, the away SuperSonics seized the upper hand, and at the beginning of the game, Durant stole Jackson's pass and scored a fast-break layup, and then Green and Collison were on fire, and the SuperSonics started the game 17-12.

This is somewhat similar to the last meeting, in that game the SuperSonics also had an advantage at the beginning, only this time the advantage is more obvious, the SuperSonics have a good record recently, and they have found a good helper for Durant, that is, the little prince Prince who got from the Pistons in the last three-way trade.

In the second half of the first quarter, the Warriors strengthened their interior attack, especially Chamberlain, who played hard, continuously impacting the interior to score, and also caused free throw opportunities, and Billups also rushed into the interior twice to score, chasing the score to 27-32 in the first quarter.

In the second quarter, the SuperSonics still played very reasonably, and the Warriors were also anxious to perform, so the situation was full of twists and turns, first the Warriors played a small 6-0 climax, chasing the score to 40-41. Durant led the team back with a 13-0 scoring surge, and Collison completed a 2+1 offense, 53-50. In the last two-and-a-half minutes, West came off the bench and teamed up with Jackson and Billups to put on a 9-0 shockwave to make it 60-55 at halftime.

In the third quarter, the supersonic team's hand came down, Durant couldn't hit every shot, and the difference in strength between the two sides began to show, especially the depth of the bench, the supersonic relied on the main force, their bench was too bad, and the Warriors were different, they were fierce on the bench, especially West.

West has been waiting for these two games, he is hostile to the Celtics' damage to him, and he hates the SuperSonics for giving him hope but making him desperate, when the SuperSonics, Warriors and Pistons formed a three-way trade, none of the three parties were willing to accept him, and his time in Seattle was a nightmare.

The opportunity for revenge has come.

West hit again and again, Azubuke and Luis also saw the stitches, the three of them actually played a tacit understanding, the Warriors' three muskets on the outside were extremely ferocious, the first 14 shots were all hit, including four three-pointers, and directly hit a single quarter super score difference of 35:10.

And just like that, the game was over, and the rest of the game began to send out water cooler keepers to kill garbage time, and the Warriors took three quarters to win the game.

After playing the SuperSonics, the Warriors changed places, and they flew to Philadelphia to challenge the 76ers.

Even after most of the season, the 76ers still haven't recovered from the pain of losing AI, and they have a terrible record, leading the race for the top pick in this year's draft, and although the 76ers with Iguodala, Chris Webb, and Miller are still stars in terms of roster, they have such a bad record.

In the first half of the first quarter, before the Warriors could make any effort, the 76ers' shots began to hit frequently, and the game went on 7 minutes and 32 seconds before Chris Webb hit a shot, and the Warriors led 11-2. After the timeout, the Warriors hit back-to-back shots to go on a 6-0 run to give the Warriors a 17-2 lead over the 76ers.

At this time, eight minutes had passed in the first quarter, that is, the 76ers only hit one ball in the first eight minutes, which made NBA history. However, because there was no pressure, the Warriors did not perform very well, scoring only 17 points in eight minutes, which was unthinkable before, because Nelson Sr. is an offensive maniac.

The 76ers coach kept to pause, and then the Birdmen finally picked up, after Iguodala broke through and dunked successfully, Miller assisted Webb to an aerial relay, Chamberlain had a chance to block the ball, but he looked at Webber's injury-ridden appearance, and he couldn't bear to shoot, he was afraid of killing this old man directly.

Webber used to be Chamberlain's idol in his youth, and he deeply admired the other party's gorgeous style of play and all-round talent, and now he sees his former idol struggling under his hands, Chamberlain really wants to ask, where has the time gone?

At the end of the first quarter, the Warriors led the 76ers 26-12, and then the fans in the stands began to retreat, and the arena, which was already empty.

At the start of the second quarter, Chamberlain was pushed to the bench by Nelson Sr. to rest and told him that he would not play again in this game if nothing else. Along with Chamberlain, there was also Billups.

Without the two protagonists of Chamberlain and Billups, Ellis, the former Warriors' first shot, began to exert his power, and he scored seven consecutive points inside and outside to help the Warriors lead the opponent by a score of 45-24.

The 76ers coach had to call a timeout again, in fact the poor guy was already going crazy with this team, what the was this guy? After a roaring and scolding from the coach, the 76ers finally bounced back after a timeout, and they responded with a small 8-2 surge, but Jackson immediately reopened the deficit with two three-pointers.

In the following games, the Warriors maintained more firepower on the outside and inside, and the Warriors led 67-44 into the second half of the game.

At the start of the third quarter, Webb hit two consecutive shots, but the Warriors still led 71-52 because after Ellis and Jackson, West started firing again. Then Willie Green scored seven straight points, but the Warriors continued to maintain a big lead. The quarter ended with the Warriors leading the 76ers 90-73.

Entering the last quarter of the game, the 76ers saw that the score was so different, so they simply broke the jar and began to play three-point rain tactics, anyway, losing one point is a loss, losing 100 points is also losing, whatever.

In this way, the 76ers played with momentum, and Green and Iguodala hit three points in succession, helping the 76ers narrow the score gap to 12 points at one point.

But the Warriors' side is also under fire on the outside, and the 76ers are strong in three-pointers? The Warriors are good at shooting more three-point people here, last season the old Nelson coached the team to play crazy running and bombing, the most important thing is the three-point shooter, Ellis, Belinelli and Azubuke have launched ****, the 76ers' counterattack opportunity just disappeared, and in the last 3 minutes, West and Azubuike's two three-pointers completely knocked the 76ers back to their original shape, and the Warriors led 114-95. The game went into garbage time, and in the end, the Warriors defeated the 76ers 119-97 at home.

In the following days, the Warriors won the Suns and Jazz in a row, the two Western giants, these two games can be called tough battles, the Warriors won very hard, almost all of them were decided in the last minute of the game, and the Warriors won by six points in the two games combined.

Moreover, this is thanks to the help of the 76ers, because when the two teams played against each other, neither Chamberlain nor Billups played one quarter, and they saved a lot of energy, and these two were the guarantee that they could win these two games.

In the previous two games with the SuperSonics and the 76ers, Chamberlain only scored 20 points and 18 rebounds, including only 6 rebounds against the 76ers, ruining his record of consecutive rebounds and doubles, but Chamberlain does not take this record very seriously, he is only 19 years old, and there is still a chance to set a record.

Against the Suns, Chamberlain had 25 points, 20 rebounds and eight blocks, and Billups had 18 points, 14 assists and four steals. Then against the Jazz, Chamberlain was even more courageous, and he scored 35 points, 16 rebounds and 5 blocks on consecutive dunks, and Billups had a good performance of 20 points and 15 assists.

After March, the more critical April arrived, and the first game of the month for the Warriors was to challenge the second place in the East, and the little emperor led his Royal Army to Oakland to defeat the Warriors, a rebel.
