Chapter 942: I Am the King of the World
Chamberlain found the supervisor on duty and said, "Hey, brother, your name is Randall?" β
The director nodded pleasantly, "Yes, Alexander Randall, Z, that's my name, is there anything you need help with?" β
Chamberlain groaned for a moment and said, "That's right, Brother Randall, now there is a tricky problem, you see, there's a Ferris wheel there, that's a big guy, a great big guy, isn't it?" β
Randall looked up at the giant Ferris wheel standing in the night sky with satisfaction, and said, "Yes, big guy, he came from time immemorial to get the Titan, if the windmill that Don Quixote challenged at that time was a bastard like him, then it's troublesome, you know what I mean, right?" β
Chamberlain smiled: "Of course, I understand, I understand. You know I'm a big guy too, so now that I'm meeting him, I feel like, if I don't go up and take a ride, it will be a pity, you see, can you help me turn it on? Oh, of course I'll pay for the electricity. β
Hearing this, Randall was a little embarrassed, he rubbed his hands and said: "It's not a matter of electricity bills, Z, you are my idol, if it's daytime, it's easy to say anything, but this thing can't be opened at night, because there are no security measures, that guy is very dangerous!" β
Dangerous fart, can Chamberlain not know, this thing is completely a power control, and this kind of terrifying Ferris wheel with a diameter of fifty meters, if something really goes wrong, what can someone do, can it be controlled?
Although he was rejected, he was not discouraged, and continued: "Listen to me, Randall, it stands to reason that I shouldn't have given you a problem, but now, I do really want to ride him, or I say the time, I want to go around it with Taylor, it must be cool and romantic, right?" β
Randall hesitated, and Chamberlain said, "You think, man, Taylor and I can't come to this kind of occasion during the day, so it's basically doomed us to have a good relationship with everyone like this, don't you think it's a pity?" β
"That's right." Randall nodded approvingly.
Chamberlain patted him on the shoulder and said, "Let's talk about one more thing, this Christmas, we are going to teach the Lakers in Los Angeles, and now I still have a few tickets in my hand, all of them are front desk tickets, how about it, do you want to take your family to Los Angeles for a Christmas?" β
Randall laughed, pointed at Chamberlain, and said, "Oh, Z, those guys gave you the wrong nickname, you shouldn't be called the god of war or the destroyer, but the devil!" Well, I'll admit, I was moved by what you said. β
Chamberlain laughed: "If I have the opportunity to sit with stars like Leonardo, BeyoncΓ©, and Alba for Christmas, and I can see my favorite team teach the abominable and arrogant Lakers, then whatever I am asked to do, I will do it." β
This matter was settled, Chamberlain ran under the Ferris wheel in high spirits, and Taylor asked curiously, "What are you doing?" It took so long to come back. β
Chamberlain shrugged his shoulders and said, "Go to the bathroom, by the way, do you want to sit on it and give it a try?" β
Taylor said regretfully, "But it won't move, and it's not fun to sit on." β
Chamberlain opened the strap and said, "Who knows, maybe you sit on it, and the Ferris wheel will be conquered by your beauty and really move." β
He secured Taylor in his seat, sat down himself, and pressed down his phone to call Randall.
Then, the huge Ferris wheel suddenly shook slightly, Taylor was startled and couldn't help but scream, and then, the Ferris wheel began to turn.
"What's going on?" Taylor screamed at first, then understood, turned around and smiled and asked, "You're going to the staff, aren't you?" β
Chamberlain smiled silently, and as the Ferris wheel turned, the seats began to glow, as if the stars were moving in a circular orbit.
Then, the Ferris wheel spends faster, and the huge arms of the wheel also emit bright lights, so that the huge Ferris wheel becomes colorful, and the soft colors shine in all directions, turning the cold night into a fairy tale world.
On the phone, Randall said with a grin: "I'll give you a little surprise, this is an electric mode that is not usually turned on." β
The Ferris wheel is a great tool for boyfriends and girlfriends to ride, and as the seats rise, both men and women get a little nervous, from shaking hands with each other to hugging each other.
But when Chamberlain's position reached the peak, he forgot about the ****** around him, originally Chamberlain thought that he would have a fear of heights, but at this moment he sat in the night sky at a height of fifty meters, with the quiet earth under him, and the vast starry sky above his head, and a sense of pride filled his chest.
I am the king of the world! At this moment, Chamberlain had such feelings.
Taylor did not dare to look down, she wrapped her arms around one of Chamberlain's arms with both hands, and shrunk into his arms as if she had found her master.
What happened that night, no one knows, and those who know only smile.
When Iverson and the others got up, Chamberlain also got up, and seemed to be much more energetic than the others.
"You ...... last night," Jackson said, pointing at him.
Barnes waved his hand and said, "Needless to say, Z, give me back my twelve condoms!" β
His method is very intuitive, as long as Chamberlain can't come up with a set, the problem is clear.
Chamberlain didn't answer, he opened his arms and looked up and sighed, and said word by word: "I am, the king of the world!" β
Unfortunately, when you look up in the hotel, all you see is a low roof.
On the plane, the old Nelson was very happy to see Chamberlain's spirit, and said: "Come on, Z, discuss a problem, you know, the team has been trying to find an orthodox No. 5 substitute for you, but it has not been found." β
Chamberlain said: "Look slowly, BOSS, I'm not in a hurry, my body is still very strong, I won't get hurt." β
Old Nelson pouted and said, "You grew up eating pig feed, I'm not worried that you'll get hurt, I'm worried that you're going to be banned, all in all, I mean, boy, we're going to get you a replacement, and now we have eyebrows." β
"Who is it?" Chamberlain's curiosity rose.
The elder Nelson handed Chamberlain a newspaper with the headline - Only a few days in high spirits, the list was devolved last year.
It turns out that the Grizzlies are ready to send their No. 2 rookie Tabit to the NBDL, which they picked last season.
Originally from Tanzania and at Connecticut in the Great Eastern Side, Tabit was the best blocker in the NCAA after reaching the semifinals in 2009.
At 2.17 meters tall, he has very good physical gifts, and despite his thin physique, he has excellent muscle explosiveness. However, Tabitt's skills are relatively rough, and he entered the NBA a little too early, but he can't help it, he has to do his best to make money to support his relatives in Africa.
Media opinion had already been raised before the draft that the team that drafted him would have to give him enough patience to develop him so as not to destroy his talent.
The Grizzlies, who have Marc Gasol, are also in no hurry to make him an instant force right away, so they are bent on hoping that he can grow slowly.
Unfortunately, Tabitt's appearance on the team has not been as expected from the Grizzlies' original plan to get Tabit to work out as a backup center, and now it seems that their coach Hollins thinks Iranian third-year Haddadi is a better fit to replace Tabit as a backup for Marc Gasol.
Last season, Tabit was really bad, averaging 10 games per game. 3 minutes, but only 2. 5 points and 2. 9 rebounds.
At that time, there was speculation that Tabit would be sent down, because he didn't have a chance to play in the NBA, and if he didn't play for a long time, he would be scrapped! In this case, it is better to go to the NBDL to hone in on it, at least there is a game to play.
However, the Grizzlies have been slow to make a move last season, because once Tabit is released, it will set a shameful record, and Tabit will become the highest draft pick in NBDL history, and the Grizzlies who sent him to the NBDL will naturally be called the most blind team in recent seasons.
The Grizzlies had been trying to make a trade this summer, and they had thought about using Thabit plus O. J-Mayo, from the Nuggets in exchange for Monta Ellis, but this trade plan ultimately failed to take shape, Ellis and Anthony's backcourt double guns although the winning rate is not good, but it is very box office appeal, the Nuggets see the current championship competition, decided to make a few years of money.
Now, with two games to play in the season, the Grizzlies finally can't take it anymore and are determined to send Tabit to the NBDL.
Frankly, this isn't a huge surprise, as Tabit has always been labeled as "physically outstanding, but technically rough", as evidenced by his frequent slumps in college at the end of the NCAA Final Four by Michigan's shorter center, Sutang.
If he hadn't been in a hurry to earn money to lift his family out of poverty in Africa, he would have been in college for a year. UConn coach Caljon has said that if he could stay in college for another year, Tabit would be better and more technically complete than he is now.
After actually entering the NBA, Tabitt's watch also confirmed people's expectations, the NBA is too fast for him, and there are too few opportunities for him to slowly polish his skills in actual combat.
Coupled with the fact that the Grizzlies are not a very cohesive whole - I believe most fans have heard rumors of a feud between Guy and Mayo, and Tabit himself is "questionable" in his work attitude, the Tanzanian big man, who can be called the No. 1 center in the NCAA, does not even reach the basic passing mark in the NBA.
So sending him to the NBDL league is a good fit for both the Grizzlies and Tabitt, although it could further affect the reputation of the team and Tabit himself.
But if self-esteem is taken out of the equation, Tabit will grow faster in the lower leagues, get more playing time, and play a little slower there, just as he did in college, where he can further hone his skills and learn and master what it takes to be a good professional player.
For example, since he has the height and reach to reach the top edge of the rebound, he doesn't really need to force a block on opponents who shoot under the basket, because that will always lead to a foul.
For example, he needs to know how to slip to the basket and more importantly, he needs to know how to defend those who slip to the baseline.
These are all wisdom that must be honed in the game, and playing in a place like the NBDL where there is less competitive pressure and a slower pace will help him improve his understanding of the game.
The only thing to worry about is whether the NBDL has a good enough interior coach, because teaching Tabit requires a lot of patience and experience, and Tabit could be deposed there.
It's too early to declare Tabit a parallel trade, and of course, the Grizzlies' draft strategy at the time was undoubtedly a mistake β what reason would they have to pick a rough interior embryo with Marc Gasol? And what reason could they miss out on Evans, Curry, Jennings, Flynn, or even Rubio without a standout master attacker?
But it's not Tabit's fault, the Grizzlies should have been mentally prepared for this when they drafted him, and Tabit shouldn't have been given up yet.
He's got a lot of room to rise as a player, think about it, he's almost 2.20 meters tall, he's got close to 2.30 meters of reach, he's athletic, he's got a lot of muscle, and his three years in Connecticut proved that he can grow fast......
He just needs chance, and patience.
The Warriors, now there are opportunities on the inside, and the old Nelson is also very patient!
