Two away games in a row, although it was not back-to-back for a day, but it was also very hard, constantly shuttling back and forth between several cities, landing from the airport to get on the bus, like cargo was stuffed up and transported to the stadium, and then to the stadium for a real hand-to-hand fight.

Even if he is as strong as Chamberlain, he can't stand such a toss, let alone the other birdmen.

Finally won two consecutive away games, the Warriors got a chance to go home, Chamberlain was better, his playing time in the two games combined was only about the same as the previous game, and the second game against the Clippers only played about 20 minutes, Jackson is the most embarrassed when he gets off the plane and his legs are weak.

Back in Auckland, the weather was cold, and Chamberlain went home first to have a meal with Li Qun and Shirley. Sitting at the dinner table and looking at the empty opposite, Chamberlain almost cried on the spot, he used to get together with Sudmons and separated a lot, but it was all in the United States, even if he went to Europe or China, it didn't matter, but he went to Iraq, if he traveled to Iraq, it would be nothing, the problem is that this guy is going to oppose the war.

In the afternoon, Chamberlain went to the court, but when he entered the training hall, he heard the rapid sound of basketball hitting the rebound, and he opened the door to see a stout figure practicing curve breaking.

A shirtless man quickly crossed between the obstacles, his body was as nimble as a snake, and he twisted between the obstacles with the ball, as fast as a lightning bolt. The cold wind was howling outside, but the man in the training hall was covered with beads of sweat.

The crystal sweat sprinkled all over the skin, combined with the rock-solid muscles, made the person who broke through with the ball full of explosive power, and he was like a cruise missile launched during the run, not only fast but also super explosive.

Chamberlain recognized it at a glance, and this person was none other than the problem defender who had caused a stir two days ago, Dronte West.

Hearing the sound of the door opening, West in training didn't look back, he was still engrossed in the curve breakthrough training, letting the sweat splash and fall to the ground with his swing, expressionless and engrossed, cool mess.

After doing two sets of curve breakthrough training, he pursed his lips and lowered his head to clean up the obstacles, and Chamberlain, who had changed into training clothes, smiled: "Hey, man, don't rush to pack up your things first, I'll play too." ”

Hearing his words, West raised his head suddenly, he stared at Chamberlain, and said coldly: "Play?!" ”

Chamberlain was furious by his gaze, and he explained, "I mean, I'm going to do a curve breakout training as well." ”

West looked at him with gloomy eyes for a full four or five seconds before he spoke, "This is not something to play, this is training equipment." ”

Chamberlain took a ball and walked over, saying as he walked: "I understand, I see that you practiced well just now, and your hands are a little itchy." ”

West's lips twitched twice, as if he wanted to refuse, but he stood aside and watched with a blank face as Chamberlain slowly dribbled the ball between the obstacles.

While dribbling the ball, Chamberlain said to him with self-deprecation: "Compared to you, my breakthrough is inferior, isn't it?" If you want to laugh at me, feel free to come, I won't care. ”

West snorted and didn't answer, still holding his arms and watching there, and when Chamberlain finished practicing, he immediately went to put away all the obstacles, then wiped them with a towel, put them in a cardboard box and sealed them.

Chamberlain now understands why no team is willing to accept this kid, he is too withdrawn, he just said a few words, just to show goodwill to this new teammate. As a result, West didn't answer at all, and occasionally responded with a 'oh, um' or something like that, which was already a face-saving gesture for Chamberlain.

Soon after, another person walked in, and Chamberlain looked back and was amused, and it turned out to be a new teammate, and this new person was Chauncey Billups.

Billups has a property in Detroit, and his family and children are there, so he came late to the Warriors and the team didn't take him on a road trip. Of course, even if he were to be brought along, Billups would not be able to play, and he would have to undergo a full medical examination with the Warriors before being released from the freeze to qualify for the war.

Seeing Chamberlain and West, Billups smiled kindly and said, "Hey guys, you guys are here early." ”

He is already a veteran, accustomed to trades and has experienced trades firsthand, he was ready to be traded as early as when Ben Wallace left the Pistons, and there have been rumors that the Pistons uniform team wanted to trade him for Maddy, but the Rockets uniform team did not agree, so that he could continue to stay with the Pistons. So coming to the Warriors, Billups showed great adaptability.

Chamberlain and Billups gave a warm hug, he patted each other on the back and said, "It's great to be able to play with you, man, you made a big impression on me last game, I've wanted to play with a guard like you for a long time, I think we can definitely win the championship together, what do you think?" ”

"Again, I'll give you a steady stream of bullets, Z, I've watched your game footage lately, and your offense is unbeatable." Billups complimented, and Chamberlain knew that this was the other party's compliment, but he was still happier to hear such words.

In fact, Billups is not complimenting Chamberlain, since entering the league, he has really not been teammates with such a strong interior lineman as Chamberlain, Ben Wallace is strong defensively but too weak in attack, Rashid is only excellent on the inside in addition to his temper and not the top, McDyce had the opportunity to develop into a top interior lineman, but he was injured, and it was a serious injury.

As Nelson Sr.'s scheduled training time approached, the Warriors players slowly made their way to the training hall, and a minute later, Jackson, Ellis, Barnes and Petrus rushed in, with Harrington behind them.

The five of them were like elementary school students who were going to be late for class, they ran in with a bang, wiped their sweat together after looking at the time, and looked at each other with a little chagrin: "Mom, I came a little early this time, and I knew that I would go outside for two more laps." ”

Billups was dumbfounded, this kind of training attitude would never be allowed on a camp-like Pistons team, even if Larry Brown left for Sanders at the helm of the Pistons.

Because of the new teammates joining, the players did not train directly after the assembly, so the old Nelson first let the two sides get together and blow the cowhide, and then let the assistant coach and trainer lead the players to warm up, and only then began to train in the team.

Billups arrived to fill Davis' void, and he certainly couldn't be a substitute, so Luiz, who had just tasted the start, returned to the bench.

At the start of the training match, the main lineup was Chamberlain + Petrus + Jackson + Ellis + Billups, and the substitute lineup was Evans + Harrington + Barnes + Azubuke + Luis.

Billups was completely unpressed, he dribbled to the front court and stood at the top of the three-point line, patted the ball and smiled: "I'm new here, brothers, maybe you don't know my style yet, and I don't know your characteristics very well...... Come on! ”

Billups' words attracted Evans's attention, Chamberlain immediately took a step forward and ran back, rushing directly to the basket, and at the moment when he ran back, Billups threw the ball out of the box, Chamberlain went to the basket, and the ball also reached his head.

After receiving the ball and smashing it directly into the hoop, Chamberlain easily came to an aerial relay.

"Well done!" Chamberlain gave a thumbs up to Billups, and the dunk was really comfortable.

Luiz's striking style is obvious, he is good at breaking through like a scalpel, but against Billups, his breakthrough advantage disappeared without a trace, whether he was a strong bulge or a change of direction or even a crotch dribble, Billups has always been by his side.

Azubuuk came up to answer, Luis could only pass the ball out, and just as he stopped, Billups suddenly started to pounce and slapped the ball on the ball that Louis put away and broke the ball.

Fortunately, Azubuke reacted quickly enough to grab the ball first, and thanks to Jackson and others who didn't understand Billups' style, otherwise Prince or Hamilton would have grabbed the ball and started a fast attack.

Azubuke picked up the ball and rushed to the basket along the gap, Chamberlain stuck Evans staring at Azubuuk and yelling: "Dare to come in is a big hat!" ”

Seeing this, Azubuk did not enter the inside line at will to attack, he quickly slowed down, anyway, even if he was entangled by Ellis again, he was not afraid, and the latter's defense was not under pressure for him.

But as soon as he slowed down, the pressure immediately increased, and it wasn't Ellis who was defending him at all, but Billups. Azubuuk turned around to pass Luis, who was supposed to be defended by Billups, only to find that Luis was also unavailable, and Ellis was following him.

Jackson and the others were also pressing on their own people, and the bench team's attack became overstretched, and after the last Azubuike forced a shot, the ball hit the iron without accident, and Chamberlain took the rebound off and passed it back to Billups.

Billups rushed down with the ball unhurriedly, and Luis came up to press hard, only to turn around and hit hard with his back. Billups' body is definitely a very strong type of defender, Luis can't bear it, and Billups is about to break through after being knocked out.

Evans subconsciously took a step forward to intimidate Billups, but instead of taking advantage of the opportunity to attack the hoop, the latter made a precise ground-hitting pass that went directly into the hands of Chamberlain.

Chamberlain turned around easily, and it was another powerful and heavy buckle!

Old Nelson held his chin and watched the game on the court with interest on the inside, he was mentally prepared for Billups's excellence, but after really seeing him join forces with Chamberlain, he realized that he had made this deal too late, Chamberlain and Billups, it was a match made in heaven!

Billups and Chamberlain cooperated in a small area, and the bench lineup was broken up by the two, and the old Nelson was about to instruct the tactics of the substitute team, but when he turned his head, he saw West sneering disdainfully, his heart moved, and he moved his finger to call Azubuk, and said to West: "Boy, you play." ”
