Chapter 30: Trainers

Except for the beginning when Popovich and Nelson Sr. quarreled at the press conference, and then behaved calmly, Duncan is an honest man, and he has always been angry about Chamberlain hurting Bowen, but when someone asked him about his evaluation of Chamberlain, he still told the truth:

"I've never seen a rookie so dominant, maybe Shaq O'Neal was so great when he was younger, but I wasn't in the league at that time. All in all, Z is a fantastic guy, his dominance is really strong and it blew my mind, I would say that only the sky is his limit, and if he continues to be in this competitive form, then the league is going to be a lot of fun and someone is going to suffer from him. ”

Chamberlain is a man of temperament, and Duncan was embarrassed to continue to speak ill of him when he praised him so much, so when the reporter asked him what he thought of the Spurs, he also praised him:

"I used to know that the Spurs were a terrible invincible team, but at that time I hadn't joined the league, and although I made a little bit of success in today's game, I knew the reason, it was because I appeared too suddenly, the Spurs were defenseless, and I thought the next game, it wouldn't be so simple.

Duncan is a role model for me to learn from, I want to learn from his attitude to the game and his ability, there's no doubt that he's the best big man in the league right now, and today I was a little bit better in terms of stats, but Duncan won the dominance and he kept helping his teammates do better, and at that point, I didn't do enough. ”

The two praised each other, and the atmosphere was harmonious, this is not the result that the reporters want to see, what the reporters need is conflict and breaking the news, so someone asked the most recently: "Mr. Zhang, Duncan has apologized to Davis for what Bowen did, are you willing to apologize to Bowen Daolu?" ”

Chamberlain was silent for a moment, then shook his head firmly and said, "No, I will not apologize to him, I have done nothing wrong." ”

Davis is still lying in the MRI room, and the results of how much Bowen's kick affected him have not yet been known, and it is very likely that Davis will miss all the games left in 2007, if that is the case, it will be a tragedy for both Davis and the Warriors, and what reason does Chamberlain have to forgive the culprit who caused all this?

Don't look at Chamberlain's elbow to Bowen is very ruthless, in fact, the impact is not big, Bowen only needs to do a simple small operation, he can play in the next game, but he needs to wear a mask to protect the bridge of his nose.

If things were the other way around, and he was responsible for Bowen's season reimbursement, then Chamberlain would be willing to apologize to him.

As with the game, Chamberlain's answer led to a somewhat unsatisfactory ending to the press conference, but the reporters were satisfied, and they had found the topic, which was that Chamberlain was not only very capable, but also had a strong temper, and another bad boy entered the league.

After Chamberlain returned to the locker room, Davis's results had not yet come out, and Jackson's old birds had very solemn faces, because they knew that Davis was in big trouble, otherwise it stands to reason that the results should come out in ten minutes.

Sure enough, when the old Nelson walked into the locker room with a solemn face and the results of the examination, everyone's hearts sank, and the old man did not sell it, and said bluntly: "Davis's injury is not optimistic, he sprained his right ankle joint, and the ligament was also strained, and the worst thing is that this sprain triggered his old injury, ankle cartilage contusion!" Damn, that fucking San Antonio guy really deserves to be shot! ”

As he spoke, the old man began to scold angrily.

Chamberlain has always been very concerned about basketball, and of course knows a lot about these basic injuries, if what Nelson Sr. is talking about is the actual situation of Davis, then his injury is beyond previous expectations, I am afraid that he will have to rest for at least two to three months, have an operation, and during this period of time, Davis will only be able to walk on crutches.

Davis has always had problems with his right ankle, so before each game, he wraps five or six layers of slightly sticky PTC gauze around his ankle, and then cushions it with small pieces of tape in several key areas to protect the ankle.

Jackson slammed his fist on the closet behind him, and then the same sound of 'bang bang bang' continued to sound, and old Nelson felt very uncomfortable, and finally waited until Jackson's ban ended and he was ready to play in the next game, but Davis was scrapped again, and he was seriously injured, isn't this fuck?

For Nelson Sr.'s small-ball tactics, the point guard is a very important position, because this tactic attaches great importance to fast breaking, and the point guard must find a good pass opportunity in the shortest possible time to send the ball to the player who should shoot, last season the Warriors can become a dark horse to pick off the Mavericks, Davis is a big deal, and now Davis is injured, and the team's launch is a problem.

But this kind of thing can't be solved by getting on fire here, old Nelson waved his hand impatiently, and shouted: "That's the situation, that's all for today, you all go home and rest." As is customary, tomorrow morning we will rest and come to the stadium at one o'clock in the afternoon for training. ”

Jackson and Davis had a good relationship, so he asked with a blank look: "Old Don, can we go see Davis?" ”

Old Nelson sighed, shook his head and said: "He will be sent to Lincoln Orthopedic Hospital in San Francisco overnight, you better not stimulate him, let Davis stay by himself for a while, I think he is a tough guy, he will definitely be able to come out of the shadow of this blow as soon as possible." You all go back, but remember for me, no one is allowed to get out of the way to cause trouble, or you won't want to play this year! ”

Everyone responded in a depressed voice, and old Nelson stared at Jackson with wide eyes, and said, "Don't you understand what I'm saying?" ”

Jackson, Barnes and Petrus, the famous, roared unwillingly, and the elder Nelson left the game satisfied.

"Why did he tell us?" Jackson said dissatisfiedly while cleaning up his things, "Z is still fighting today, why didn't he tell Z?" ”

Chamberlain rolled his eyes, he didn't want to answer this brain-dead question because he didn't want to be as brain-dead as Jackson.

Ellis greeted Chamberlain and said, "I'm so depressed tonight, how about going to the dancer?" ”

The Dancing Bar is located in San Francisco, from Oracle Arena, across the famous Golden Gate Bridge, across another of San Francisco's most famous attractions, M. H。 The Dejan Memorial is not far away. As the name suggests, this is a strip bar, the business is very good, and the dancers in it are also of high grade, Chamberlain once went to see it secretly, but did not go in, and the consumption level inside was not what he could afford before.

Chamberlain was not very interested in this kind of place, he only wanted to know how to get familiar with the various attributes of this body as soon as possible, especially the strength of the arms and the flexibility of the wrists, and then develop new offensive skills, otherwise he would really become the kind of rough brother who only relies on his body to eat.

Chamberlain was so stimulated in this game that he was almost tired and half dead, and only scored 18 points, while Duncan scored 28 points with ease, and the gap between the two sides was too big. However, except for scoring, Duncan's other statistics are inferior to Chamberlain, he only got 8 rebounds and only 2 blocks, which is a big gap compared with Chamberlain.

Chamberlain refused the invitation of these people, took his training clothes and went to the training hall next to him, Li Qun's phone called, and on the phone, she asked cautiously: "Lao Zhang, Davis's ankle is not too important, right?" ”

She was afraid that Chamberlain would misunderstand that she wanted to get some gossip for publication, so she hurriedly explained: "Because didn't I promise Davis before that I would invite you to dinner after the game?" If his ankles are okay, then I'll treat you to the most authentic Chinese food tonight. ”

Chamberlain smiled bitterly: "In the future, Davis's ankle injury is quite serious, I'm afraid I will have to rest for a long time, and everyone else is very depressed now, and they definitely don't have the heart to have dinner together." ”

In fact, he wants to save Li Qun money, those birdmen don't have the heart, they all have the heart to go to the strip bar to pick up girls, can they have the heart to eat Chinese food? You know, they haven't had dinner yet.

NBA players generally only eat some high-calorie things such as chocolate or energy bars before the game to provide the energy needed for the game, they cannot eat, otherwise the strenuous exercise will irritate the gastric mucosa, which will cause great damage to their body.

Chamberlain pushed open the door of the training hall, but as soon as the door opened, a deep and old voice sounded: "Hey, rookie, are you here?" ”

This voice suddenly sounded, Chamberlain was startled, he was pondering tonight's training plan just now, he didn't expect that there would be someone inside, he looked up at the sound and found that it was not one person, but two people staying in the training hall.

One was naturally the little old man with white hair and white beard, wearing a green and yellow coat, and the other was a middle-aged white man, who was about thirty-four or five years old, with a polite appearance, blue eyes revealing this docile gaze, and always with a smile on his face, as if he were a university teacher or a lawyer.

Chamberlain thought that the white man was a fan, and he was familiar with the little old man, who brought him to ask for autographs and the like, so he smiled and said, "Guys, are you going to train with me tonight?" That's great. ”

He knew that this was impossible, just to give the little old man a face, Chamberlain used to be the kind of person who lived at the bottom of the society, and his friends were all of the same status, he thought that he knew the little old man's mind very well, just to earn some face, so that acquaintances thought that he was very familiar with some big people.

Unexpectedly, when his words fell, the little old man first nodded and then shook his head, took out a KFC chicken leg burger, and pointed to the white man next to him while gobbling it up and said, "I really want to train with you, but it's not me, it's just him." ”

Chamberlain was stunned, if the other party just asked for an autograph or a group photo, he would be happy to help, but he would not be willing to really train with these laymen, to put it mildly, his time is precious, and he has no time to play with amateurs.

The white man smiled and stretched out his hand, and without waiting for him to refuse, introduced himself: "Hello man, my name is Eden LaVine, and I'm afraid I'm going to be your trainer for a while from today." ”
