Chapter 384: Heavenly King Data

During the break in the first quarter, Nelson Sr. still didn't deploy his tactics, he grabbed Billups' hand and told him to just pass the ball to Chamberlain and leave the rest alone. No one questioned the old man's arrangement, because they knew the meaning of the old man and made every effort to cultivate Chamberlain!

Neelsen Sr. was very pleased with Chamberlain's growth at the Olympics, but he was not satisfied, he believed that Chamberlain had unlimited potential, and he did not even play a hundred percent of it now. As a veteran head coach who has won the best coach twice, Nelson Sr. is different from Thibodeau's rookie, the latter is a famous player no matter how powerful he is, but Nelson Sr. is the kind of handsome head coach, and Popovich, Riley, and Zen master Jackson are at the same level.

The gains and losses of one city and one place, the victory or defeat of a must-win, in the eyes of these famous coaches, is nothing at all, even if this game is the opening game, they want the championship.

Zen master Jackson persuaded Kobe Bryant to let go of the ball and take charge of the Lakers with his teammates for the championship, instead of training with Kobe Bryant during the summer vacation to improve his strength. Nelson Sr., on the other hand, has to fully exploit Chamberlain's potential for the championship, even if it is to use the other fourteen people on the team as sparring partners.

Nelson Sr. was convinced that the day Chamberlain matured would be the day his Warriors would reign.

After the start of the second quarter of the game, the two teams were still in a stalemate, Bynum received a pass from Kobe Bryant and hit a layup, and finally scored two points in front of Chamberlain, which made him a little proud, and then this mentality made him sad, when did he fall to the point where he was proud to score in front of Chamberlain? But to be honest, it's so hard to score in front of Chamberlain.

Billups faithfully executed Nelson's arrangement, dribbling the ball up front and directing his team-mates to pull away, passing to Oxlade-Chamberlain to play alone in the box.

Chamberlain's single Bynum was as simple as eating dumplings, he hit Bynum with his back and then turned and broke through, Bynum hurriedly retreated, but Chamberlain stepped back and made a jumper and easily scored two points.

Kobe Bryant hit the basket, and the substitute Ibaka stepped forward to block it, only to be deceived by Peter Pan, who shook him up and jumped up at him, and then sent the ball into the hoop with a wrist pick, playing 2+1. Looking back, Chamberlain responded in the restricted area, he attracted Bynum and Gasol to wrap up, teammates immediately ran around and disrupted the Lakers' outside defense, and then Chamberlain passed back to Billups, who made a jumper from beyond the three-point line and hit a three-point shot!

Then the tug-of-war between the two sides was extremely fierce, the Lakers were still serving the whole team, and the Warriors had Chamberlain, a beast in the clouds, turning the clouds and rain - he was the kind of person who was very emotional.

Chamberlain's back to the basket made Gasol foul, two free throws, the Lakers Kobe Bryant hit the basket, Chamberlain waited to rush out, blocked the hand, West held the ball fast, rushed into the front court and slid dunk, so that now, the Warriors lead for the first time, leading the Lakers 43-42.

But then, Bryant hit a jumper from Fisher's pass, and the Lakers regained the lead at 44-43. Nelson Sr. called a timeout, West went off the court and replaced Curry with Billups, Curry's projection skills were very strong, Billups handed the ball to him, Fisher thought he was a playmaking guard, but after arriving in the frontcourt, he simply jumped up outside the three-point line and hit a three-pointer as soon as he got on the court.

The two sides battled defensively, and the next few offenses were unsuccessful, and the Warriors maintained the lead until Gasol used a basket to dangle Ibaka for a layup in the restricted area, which helped the Lakers tie the lead.

When the team's firepower can't be opened, they hand over the ball to the core boss, which is something that every player in the NBA knows, Curry's breakthrough was contained by Fisher, he passed the ball to Chamberlain, who took off after getting the ball, and knocked over Gasol dunk to come up with a 2+1.

The Lakers also gave the ball to Kobe, but under the operation of the triangle strategy, Kobe was not only a finisher, he launched an attack and then attracted the bag and distributed the ball to Odom, who came on as a substitute for Bynum, and the left-handed magic hit a hook shot under the basket.

The two sides fought fiercely, the Warriors played better and better at the end of the first half, or Chamberlain's play became more and more fierce, after Bynum went off the court, a Gasol couldn't restrain him at all, Gasol was too gentlemanly, he didn't like to fight very much, and Odom didn't dare to fight, Chamberlain was a dunk and a hook and a mid-range shot, the Warriors scored 18 points in the second half of the second quarter, and Chamberlain himself had 14 points.

At the last moment of the first half, Odom cut back to the basket, but Chamberlain followed him from behind and gave him a big hat, and the Warriors launched a fast-break counterattack again, Curry hit the restricted area like a snake and then didn't look back to a NO-LOOK-PASS, and Chamberlain, who followed behind, received the ball and dunked!

At the end of the first half, the Warriors led the Lakers 62-56.

The team is still behind after playing so well, and everyone knows where the problem is, of course, it is the lack of strength on the inside. Kobe Bryant was furious, yelling at Bynum and Gasol in the locker room, and the two of them were silent, and when Kobe Bryant sent a death glare, he quickly swore a military order and swore to fight the Warriors in the second half.

In the third quarter of the game, Kobe Bryant found his form, and as soon as he got on the court, he started to play singles, which caught the Warriors off guard, and the Warriors thought that the Lakers would continue to play a team battle, but Kobe Bryant rushed and rushed, and scored 6 points in a row to drop the score to 62-64.

Seeing that the score advantage was about to be caught up, Chamberlain stepped forward again, and the old Nelson called a timeout, and Chamberlain, who had only rested for a minute and a half on the bench, changed to the court again.

During the old Nelson timeout, the Lakers changed tactics again, although Kobe Bryant presided over the offense, he frequently divided the ball, Odom, Bynum and Gasol formed three towers, Chamberlain lost four hands with both fists, three rolled the ball, and scored one after another.

In the case of the point difference being widened again, Chamberlain stepped forward again, he hit a jumper after the Lakers missed the attack, Chamberlain grabbed the rebound and Curry cooperated to the frontcourt, Curry fast-break pass The two came to an aerial relay, Gasol jumped up to block, but was pushed away by Chamberlain and played a 2+1, and then the Lakers simply used a three-person package, Gasol, Bynum and Odom counted one, and together they wrapped Chamberlain, which finally curbed the latter's offensive.

Kobe Bryant holds the ball and constantly breaks through the points to assist three interior teammates, the Warriors' interior defense is only useful for Chamberlain, Ibaka has good physical fitness, but his defensive awareness is not outstanding, Gasol jumps when he is a little bit, and he is played like a puppy.

Two minutes after the fourth quarter, relying on a three-point shot by Kobe, the Lakers closed the score to 78-80. After that, the two sides fell into a stalemate again, and after the last joke, Jordan Farmar caused Curry to foul and hit both free throws before the first three quarters ended at a 76-all tie.

At the start of the final quarter, a physical West scored five straight points to give the Warriors the lead, but Odom suddenly went berserk, hitting two free throws, then hitting a three-pointer from distance, and then scoring five straight points to put the Lakers up to 94-92.

After Chamberlain hit both free throws, he was assisted by West for a layup, and the two sides were tied at 96. At the critical moment, Zen master Jackson replaced all the main lineup of the Lakers, and once again carried out a three-person package on Chamberlain, the Warriors relied too much on Chamberlain, and the others missed consecutive shots with poor hands, and Kobe Bryant scored 5 points in a row, and the Lakers led 103-96 after playing a wave of 7-0 small ****.

Billups assisted on West's three-pointer and Chamberlain blocked Bynum's layup again, but then Bryant hit back-to-back shots to give the Lakers a 110-101 lead with 1:47 left to go. West strengthened the breakthrough and played 2+1 twice in a row, and the atmosphere of the Oracle Arena was ignited by him, and his fearless breakthrough impressed the young fans.

Unfortunately, the Lakers played just as well, Odom and Gasol each hit a mid-range shot, and after 30 seconds, the Lakers still maintained the lead at 114-107, and after the last West's three-point shot was missed, Gasol protected the rebound, and the Lakers sealed the victory 114-107.

Losing the opening game, Chamberlain was extremely depressed, mainly worried about the doll, it was the end of another day, and the doll was still not found, in his opinion, this was one step away from being able to find the doll.

Warriors fans are disappointed, but they are optimistic, because Chamberlain is giving them more and more hope, and even if the team loses, no one complains about Chamberlain.

Chamberlain played 46 minutes, scored 42 points on 15-of-35 shooting, in addition to 23 rebounds and 7 blocks, and he completely dominated the restricted area, but the Lakers played well as a team, so the Warriors lost convincingly.

Bryant scored 25 points on 9-of-19 shooting, and considering he had eight rebounds and 12 assists to play, it is clear who was responsible for the Lakers' victory. The Lakers' top scorer was Odom off the bench with 26 points, and all six of them scored in double figures and all five of their starting five scored in double figures, and their team play worked.

After winning the game, Bryant was in a good mood, and at the press conference he praised Chamberlain:

"He's the kind of teammate you'd ever dream of, and if I could, I would really like to play with him on a team, even if it's for him to captain, but I know that Z is a humble guy, he won't steal the limelight from an old guy like me, he'll continue to let me be the captain. Also, I don't believe all the news about Z recently, I'm his friend, guys, he and I can talk on the phone at any time, so I know him better, Z is a good person, guys, don't hurt him, trust me, he's a good person. ”

Chamberlain did not attend the press conference, and after the game he left without bathing in the locker room, and Billups, who had 11 assists, accompanied Nelson Sr. to host the press conference.

The Warriors players were walking fast, and soon there were only three rookies left in the locker room, and Ibaka was babbling in his non-English language: "Shit, shit, shit, Gasol that guy is so clever, he's smart like a puppy, how many times have I been lied to by him?" It's a shame, it's a shame! ”

Curry touched his aching chest and made up his mind: "I want to gain weight, I want to exercise, I want to be a devil muscleman." ”

Morrow looked disappointed, and he said helplessly: "You all have the opportunity to play, but I can only watch you play below, you two can improve yourself and get more and more opportunities, but I don't have this opportunity." ”

Curry and Ibaka glanced at each other, and the latter motioned for the former to comfort Morrow, saying, "The three of us are a team, Stephen, you go and comfort him." ”

Curry glared: "Why should I comfort me?" Go, didn't you say that you blacks have a unique way of communicating with each other? ”

Ibaka was helpless: "Yes, we have a unique way of communicating, which is through the heart, but this guy is now closed to his heart, and I can't communicate with him." ”
