The first half became a rivalry between two sixth men, whether it was Chamberlain or Joe Johnson, whether it was Billups or Josh Smith, all in all, they were role players at this moment, and all they had to do was cooperate and cover.

Old Nelson roared a few times to get Chamberlain to actively participate in the attack, and when he saw that it was unreliable, he sat off the field and did not speak, lowered his head to study the tactical board, and then did not say anything.

At the end of the first half, the Hawks led by eight points at 58-50, and Johnson was hot today, and he took the opportunity to score a lot of points in the second quarter to help the Hawks take the lead all the way.

The players went back to the dressing room, bowed their heads and said nothing, the feeling of being behind was not good after all.

Old Nelson sneered, and said in a weird way: "How is it, is it cool now?" How does it feel to be behind? All-Stars. ”

The All-Star bench has not yet come out, and it will take two more days to announce the roster in the early morning of February 4. But the roster for the All-Star Rookie Game came out two days ago, Curry finally made it to the sophomore lineup, and Blair, relying on the development of Nelson Sr., also made it to this list and became a member of the first-year rookie star.

The sophomore team is led by Derrick Rose, the NBA's Rookie of the Year last season, and the first-year team is led by Jennings, Tyrek Evans, and Curry, all of whom are guards, and it has to be said that the NBA has entered an era of guard glory.

Chamberlain raised his head proudly and said, "Old Tang, we can definitely win!" ”

Old Nelson was enraged by his arrogant posture, and just as he was about to speak, Chamberlain continued: "Of course, it must require your leadership, and under your guidance, it will not be easy for us to win the fourth place in the East?" Because we are the first in the West! ”

Hearing this, old Nelson quickly turned his anger into joy, he nodded reservedly, and said, "Of course. ”

Iverson, Billups, and the others gave Chamberlain a thumbs up, and West patted him on the shoulder and shouted, "Z, you're so fucking clever!" Why are you so clever? ”

Chamberlain looked at West and asked hesitantly, "Are you praising me?" I don't feel like it! ”

In the midst of the fighting, the group gathered together, and the old Nelson took out the tactical board to explain the tactics prepared in the first half to everyone, and finally patted the tactical board and said firmly: "Believe me, boys, as long as you play this tactic, you will definitely win!" ”

"We believe in you!" A bunch of birdmen howled and ran out of the game, trailing by 8 points, which in their hearts didn't count, didn't count.

In the second half, the Hawks changed their lineup, but the skeleton remained, Zaza Pachulia + Horford + Joe Johnson + Crawford + Jeff Teague, and the Warriors played with Chamberlain + Gibson + Barnes + West + Curry.

Teague is a rookie who has just entered the NBA, and his ability to put the defense under constant pressure in this regard, especially the first step of acceleration in the offense, has been a rare opponent in his two years at Wake Forest.

His style of play, his watchability, and his ability to play near the basket are highly regarded among the rookies, as he has the speed and likes to change speed when dribbling, and has a great grasp of dodging defenders.

In the process of rushing to the basket, he is also more sure of his dodging moves in the air, and from this characteristic, it seems that his development template should also have the flavor of Monta Ellis.

Ellis was single-handedly picked up by old Nelson, and the old man really had too many ways to deal with this kind of rookie.

Teague was pestered by Curry, who didn't stop him, just followed him, and whenever he wanted to break through, he greeted him with small gestures - thanks to Bowen, Curry's small movements are now more and more and more dark, which is an excellent way to deal with Ellis-style attacking guards.

Horford asked for the ball in the penalty area, Chamberlain let him go and pretended to defend Pachulia, and as soon as the former got the ball and turned around, he immediately appeared quietly behind him like a bloodthirsty hungry wolf.

Horford turned and made a jumper, and Chamberlain burst up from the flank and slammed the ball away.

Curry rushed to the front court with the ball in a dashing manner, he leaned over and made two breakthrough feints, and then rose up with an elegant long-range shot, the posture is handsome and cool, if the posture can add points, then he can cut 50+ per game.

But the ball hit the iron, and it bounced back with a 'bang'.

Chamberlain screamed, he ran from behind, jumped higher with the momentum of the impact, got up and picked the ball off.

Horford hurriedly sank down and jammed Chamberlain, West burst into the interior from the wing to meet his teammates, and Chamberlain shook a shot to withdraw the ball and hit it hard, then waved his arm and raised the ball in his hand to prepare for a layup.

Unexpectedly, Horford flew out with a scream, reaching out to cover his cheek as if he had been knocked over by Chamberlain's elbow, in fact, Chamberlain was very wronged, he did swing his elbow, but not very hard.

The referee blew the whistle and gave Chamberlain an offensive foul.

Chamberlain laughed angrily, chased after the referee and said: "Man, we are seven feet big, we can't be entangled like a woman in the inside confrontation, I just put my arm a little sideways, and you for an offensive foul?" Don't you think that's kind of funny? ”

The referee said calmly: "Z, if you continue to follow me, something even funnier will happen, and I will give you a technical foul." ”

Chamberlain smiled: "I don't believe it, your guts...... OK, OK, I'll go, I'll go, don't blow it! ”

The referee bit the whistle in his mouth again and made a technical foul gesture, and Chamberlain immediately got out of the way with his ass between his legs.

Horford rubbed his nose and grinned, "Hey, Z, your elbow just now was so bad, we're playing, we're friends!" ”

"Fake fall impotence man!" Chamberlain said unceremoniously.

The Hawks were still led by Horford, but the ball spun around in his hand and fell into the hands of Johnson, who made his trademark tentative step and then viciously slammed into Barnes to crush the opponent with force.

West couldn't have let this happen, so he rushed up and unfolded the bag, and Johnson was worthy of being the king of the eagles, so he jumped up with the ball and shot firmly.

Of course, this is the end of iron.

Chamberlain turned to pick up the rebound, but was blocked by Pachulia, and Horford and Gibson grabbed the rebound, with the former taking advantage of his position to snatch the ball and then making a quick shot to send the ball into the hoop.

After scoring, Horford was in a good mood and winked his eyes at Chamberlain.

Chamberlain hated so much that the roots of his teeth itched, and the other party actually grabbed an offensive rebound in front of him, didn't this slap him in the face?

NBA stars have their own tricks, and Horford has no chance against Chamberlain head-on, but he can catch a lot of opportunities from other directions.

Nelson Sr. arranged to play Chamberlain's position in the second half, so Curry hoisted the ball to him.

Getting the ball, Chamberlain took advantage of his height and reach to turn around and throw, and after Horford got close, he quickly moved sideways to hook up for a layup.

Pachulia's bag is too slow, and that's the value of Josh Smith, who is known for his defensive ability in the NBA, especially when he does bag clamps or block breaks.

Horford tried to stretch his arm to stop Chamberlain, but the latter was too close to the hoop, and the turn hooked his arm and almost followed the hoop to send the ball in.

“YEAR！” Chamberlain threw his fist hard.

After Teague arrived in the frontcourt, Johnson helped him cover at the top arc, and as soon as the two positions were staggered, Teague took advantage of the fact that Curry and West's change of defense was not yet in place, and immediately passed the ball to the Hawks.

Outside the three-point line, the Hawks got the ball and jumped up, Curry hurried to catch up and didn't catch up, the blind interference didn't work, and the Hawks hit a three-pointer.

Old Nelson shook his head when he saw this, he looked at Teague carefully, and then said to Iverson beside him: "That little guy is very precise in grasping opportunities, and his future is limitless. ”

Iverson nodded sternly, then turned his head and whispered to Bowen, "When did the old man become a god?" ”

The Warriors attacked, Curry was cruising in the high post with the ball, he stretched out his hand, Chamberlain pulled up from the restricted area, Curry pulled his foot to break through, without Smith, the Hawks' ability to break the block was much worse.

Horford, who followed Chamberlain, hurriedly opened his arms to jam Curry, and at the same time motioned for Johnson to come and clamp the ball in his hand.

Curry found a gap in the gap and quickly handed the ball to Chamberlain.

Chamberlain held the ball and rushed in, stepped into the box in three steps, and took off to dunk with one arm.

The scene once again burst into fierce applause.

The Hawks still have Johnson and Teague blocking and pick-and-roll, which is the most common tactic in the NBA, and sometimes players can be seen blocking each other everywhere in a game.

This time, Teague faked a flicker, and after a false shot, he actually rushed in, and pounced directly at Chamberlain.

Chamberlain sneered in his heart, this situation is too common, rookies always want to step on these ace superstars, they fantasize about being able to ride each other and hit each other, but often this fantasy becomes the reality of being hatted, at the beginning of each season, Chamberlain has to find a way to teach these little guys a lesson.

Undoubtedly, this time Teague also came with this idea.

Rushing to the top of the penalty area, Teague seemed to hesitate a little in the face of Chamberlain, he made a quick stop to dribble under his crotch, and was about to jump when he put away the ball.

Chamberlain jumped up from the front to teach Teague a lesson, but the latter jumped up after he took off, and it was at him!

"!" Chamberlain only had time to curse when the referee's whistle sounded: Teague made a foul!

DJ exclaimed: "Clever brains, clever reactions, rookies make superstars lose face!" ”

Chamberlain raised his hand to signal for a foul, and he said to Curry angrily: "Man, who is the DJ?" What a nonsense, turn around and fire him! ”

Before he could get angry, old Nelson got angry and yelled, "What are you doing? Damn, you've got four fouls on your back! Bastard, 20 minutes until the end of the game, what do you want to do?! ”

Teague made free throws, Nelson Sr. replaced Chamberlain with Evans, he had to protect Chamberlain, 4 fouls are into the foul box, once 5 fouls, it is basically useless, because the players at this time have not dared to do anything.

Horford looked at Chamberlain with a grin and said loudly: "Brother, when you come back, go early and come back early!" ”

Chamberlain glared at him and trotted to the bench, depressed.

The elder Nelson was expecting Chamberlain to lead a round of 10-0 climax, but the other party actually took him down first.

"Damn, I'm going to develop other offensive skills, shooting, I'm going to practice mid-range shooting!" Chamberlain gritted his teeth and said.

Old Nelson rolled his eyes and said, "That's best, you'll have to be careful with your movements in the future." ”

Chamberlain sighed, he saw that Iverson and the others were looking at him, so he smiled bitterly: "Guys, it's not that our army is incompetent, it's that the enemy army is cunning." ”

"Great cunning!" Billups comforted him.

Although fake falls are expressly prohibited, there are many people who break the law in the United States, let alone the rules of a sports competition, and it is conceivable that when other teams play against the Warriors in the future, they must find a way to take Chamberlain off the court first.

As soon as Chamberlain got off the court, West, who had been a little restrained before, was suddenly happy, and he waved to Curry and shouted: "Brother, give me the ball, let me teach these bitches Atlantans a lesson!" ”

Curry pointed at Teague and said, "The two of us are rivals - you know, the All-Star Rookie Challenge opponent, I've got to teach him a lesson first......"

As soon as the words fell, Curry flew out like an arrow.
