Chapter 200: The Battle Begins
Hearing the sound of the door opening next to him, this time it was Chamberlain's turn to be stunned, if this kind of thing was discovered, his reputation would be over, and if it was discovered by Winnie, then he estimated that his life would be over.
On the contrary, Taylor reacted faster, she closed her mouth first and then pushed him directly into Chamberlain's room as fast as she could, and after entering the door, a pajama was thrown on the ground, she quickly picked it up and threw it to Chamberlain, and said angrily: "Don't hurry up and put it on!" ”
Chamberlain sneered and asked depressedly, "Why are you running here for me at this time?" I thought it was a prank on the door from the fans. ”
"If you're a fan, should you be naked? Are you an exhibitionist? Taylor asked rhetorically.
Chamberlain was greatly frustrated, Taylor was right, fortunately it was not the fans who knocked on the door, otherwise he was filmed by the fans, then I am afraid that he would not have the face to continue to stay in the NBA.
When Chamberlain put on his pajamas, Taylor's tense pretty face relaxed, and then someone knocked on the door again, but Chamberlain knew that it was his teammate, and sure enough, soon Billups's voice sounded, and asked with concern: "Hi, Z, I heard someone screaming at your door just now, are you okay?" ”
Chamberlain replied with a loud voice: "I'm fine, what can I do?" ”
Billups's voice rang out again: "That's good, it should be another fan trick, by the way, Z, remember to rip off the phone line in your room, the fans like to call to harass the players, I tear off the phone line every time I stay in the hotel." ”
you, why didn't you say it sooner? Chamberlain was momentarily speechless by Billups's afterthought.
When it was finally quiet outside, Chamberlain asked Taylor, "Is there anything wrong with you?" ”
Listening to Chamberlain's inquiry, Taylor shrunk to a sofa with his arms around her delicate body, and she said movingly: "I encountered a very terrible thing just now, Z, someone called me, that call is very scary, there is a woman screaming, it's terrifying, could it be haunted?" ”
Chamberlain was angry, these fans were really powerful, and they didn't even let go of Taylor's room, it is estimated that the tenants on the twenty-second floor were scared tonight, you must know that Taylor's room and Chamberlain's room are in two opposite positions on the twenty-second floor, and even her room has received a call, and other rooms have undoubtedly received calls.
After giving Taylor an explanation, Chamberlain comforted her and finally sent her away, and by the time he lay down in bed again, it was already two o'clock in the morning, and he quickly closed his eyes and fell asleep, because their first battle with the Jazz was about to start on April 20.
On April 20, 2008, at 7:30 p.m. West Coast time, the Western Conference playoffs finally began, and on this day, there were two games in the West with four teams, namely the Western Conference No. 1 Spurs at home against the Western No. 8 Rockets and the Western Conference No. 5 Warriors away against the Western Conference No. 4 Jazz.
The fate of these four teams has long been asserted, the Spurs will undoubtedly advance, the Rockets may be swept, and the best outcome is that they can win one game. The Spurs are a notoriously playoff powerhouse and have won the regular season title this year to defend their title, while the Rockets are a regular season powerhouse and have never been favored for their playoff work.
As for the game between the Warriors and the Jazz, it will be much more tangled, it is difficult to say who will advance from the two teams in the end, the Warriors got Chamberlain and Billups this season is a variable, the two teams played three times in the regular season, the Warriors won twice, the only time Billups did not come and Davis was also absent.
However, considering that Chamberlain is playing in the playoffs for the first time and Billups is in his first season with the Warriors, and the Jazz have now had a roster that has been together for four or five seasons, the Jazz seem to have a better chance of qualifying, especially since they also have a home-court advantage.
The Jazz's home court is one of the most hated home games for NBA teams, and thanks to the existence of the Green Shirts Garden Arena, this one would otherwise be a nowhere to go.
Chamberlain was unlucky, his first playoff game was played at the Energy Center in Salt Lake City, and as soon as he entered, he was greeted with crazy boos and all kinds of insults from the fans.
"Watch your ankles, don't break your feet here, bastard......"
"Crush his head and let his brains run through the arena......"
"Kill the hillbilly in San Francisco, yellow-skinned monkey, and I'll skin you and turn you into a pig......"
There were also fans gloating and asking: "Did you sleep well last night?" Did our knocks and ringing phones scare you? ”
Chamberlain clenched his fists hard, and the impact between the joints crackled, he stared at the Jazz players who were talking and laughing opposite, and gritted his teeth and said: "Today I will definitely give them a very cool lesson, so that they will never forget it in their lives, and they must let these bitches understand what a terrible thing it is to offend me Chamberlain!" ”
At this time, a pleasant voice suddenly sounded: "SUPER-Z, come on!" Warriors, come on! ”
The sound in the stadium was noisy, but this sound clearly came into the ears of Chamberlain and others, and the sound of this sound was too special and very beautiful.
When Chamberlain and the others turned around, they saw Taylor waving to them with a smile on her face, and she was wearing a large jersey, and on the back of the jersey was the Warriors' logo and number 0, which was Chamberlain's jersey, the jersey that was lent to Taylor during the All-Star Game.
"Didn't you say she was here for a fan event?" Ellis confronts Chamberlain, who he asks at breakfast this morning about how Chamberlain Taylor is in Salt Lake City, and Chamberlain tells him that Taylor has come to promote her new album and attend fan events.
Chamberlain was depressed, he had asked Taylor the same question last night, and the latter had answered him like that, so he could only respond impatiently to Ellis's questioning: "What is this? Taylor was just stopping by to see a game. ”
He rolled his eyes, put his arms around Ellis and said, "Man, your goddess is down there, you have to behave well today, maybe you can conquer her." With that, he pushed Ellis away and walked towards Taylor, and he had to talk a few words, but they came to cheer him on.
Listening to Chamberlain's words, Ellis was so excited that he grabbed Jackson next to him and said, "Taylor will be conquered by me, right?" Today I'm going to cut 60+! The Utah people are going to be unlucky today, for the sake of my goddess I must kill this group of bitches! Taylor, I'm coming, wait for me, wait for me! ”
Jackson shook off Ellis's hand and frowned, "Are you brainbroken?" If there is nothing wrong with Taylor's eyes, she will never look down on a birdman like you, and you will not lie on the floor to see what kind of virtue you are......"
"I'm going to fight with you, you not only insulted me but also insulted my goddess's aesthetics!" Ellis yelled excitedly.
Jackson rubbed his fist the size of a sea bowl and looked at Ellis maliciously, and sneered, "Are you serious?" ”
Looking at Jackson's iron fist and recalling the unlucky guy who was beaten by him in the palace of Auburn Hills, Ellis's fanatical mind immediately regained his composure, and he sneered: "Of course I'm not serious, I'm kidding, Boss Jack, we're brothers, didn't Z say it?" Brothers are like siblings, women are like garments......"
"Count you as acquaintances!" Jackson smiled with satisfaction.
"Whoever touches my clothes, I cut off his hands and feet." West made up for what Chamberlain had said, and Ellis immediately glared at him, he wasn't afraid of this madman.
Chamberlain hugged his arms and laughed with Taylor, the two men were tall and mighty, and the women were beautiful, and Taylor was more than 1.7 meters tall, standing next to Chamberlain was not as petite as ordinary women, especially at this time the two were wearing the same jerseys, like a couple's outfit, and others couldn't help but think about it.
"Adulterer****!" Countless fans at the scene scolded, and then began to envy and hate Chamberlain, Taylor is now a goddess of the whole people, beautiful, good-looking, versatile, every man will imagine what it would be like if one day he could press Taylor under him and let her use that small mouth that sings countless classic songs.
As the game was about to start, Chamberlain and Taylor began to warm up with a few simple words, while the managers of both sides lined up.
The Jazz's main lineup is very stable, the center is Oku, the power forward is Boozer, the small forward is Kirilenko, the playmaking guard is the current core of the team Deron Williams, and the scoring guard is Brewer.
The Warriors' main lineup has been changing this season, and now the center is Chamberlain, the power forward is Petrus, the small forward is Jackson, the playmaking guard is Billups, and the scoring guard is West.
Sending this lineup, the old Nelson also has a hard time, the Warriors lineup is not perfect, and the big forward and scoring guard have always been shortcomings. Evans is an orthodox power forward, but the offensive firepower is too poor to help Chamberlain on the offensive end, Petrus is good in attack and defense, but after all, it is not a traditional interior line, and the mobility is good, but it can't play positional warfare, and the team with Chamberlain is definitely the best choice to play positional warfare.
Shooting guards are also problematic, Ellis has returned from injury not long ago, and the team is still in the run-in period, so it is obviously not suitable to go directly to the starting lineup. West proved that he was good enough to start in March and early April, but against Brewer he had a height disadvantage: his opponent was 2.01m, and he was 1.91m, a difference of 10 centimeters!
West has been a star in the last two dozen games, averaging 21 points and 4 points per game. 8 rebounds, 4. 2 assists, 1. 2 caps and 2. 2 steals, the data is very comprehensive, just looking at the data, he is definitely a star-level scoring guard who can get a contract of 10 million.
And West is particularly active defensively, and many of his roles on the court are the same as Chamberlain and Billups, which cannot be seen in the data, such as the pressure he caused to the opponent on the defensive end, and the opportunities he created for his teammates when attacking, and now the league is shouting that the Warriors took a big advantage in the original three-team trade.
West is moving towards the All-Star qualifier and has a good chance because in addition to his energy and physical fitness, he is also very self-motivated. What makes other teams jealous the most is that this guy suddenly changed his past after coming to the Warriors, and rarely causes trouble off the court, but has recently become a role model for players, because he often follows Chamberlain to do charity activities, which surprises everyone!
