Farewell to December with a wave of two consecutive wins, and then the New Year is here, according to NBA regulations, the two days before and after the New Year are off for each team, but this does not mean that the players are relaxed, the Warriors organized community activities, and Chamberlain, as the most popular person in the Warriors now, naturally needs to participate.

The main part of these activities is still the slums, mainly to help the houses in the slums repair the broken cracks, and now it is a cold winter, as a city in the northern hemisphere, Oakland does not have the mild warm winds of Miami, and at night these cracks can be turned into bone-scraping steel knives that can freeze people to death.

Chamberlain was shocked to see the children in the room with frostbite on their faces and hands, and he had foreseen such a scene, because he was also a child from a slum. However, although his family situation is also very difficult, his parents have never let him suffer like this, and have always tried their best to let him grow up happily and happily.

Thinking of the scene when his parents used to get up at four o'clock in the morning to prepare breakfast for sale in order to make money, Chamberlain burst into tears on the spot, and he made a direct decision that the next time the team rested, he would take Li Qun home and let his parents meet this good girl, their daughter-in-law who had not passed the door.

Chamberlain paid Winnie on the spot to help him buy enough air conditioning to equip a community, which cost him $75,000, but he didn't blink his eyes, which shocked Jackson and others, Barnes opened his mouth wide and said, "That's 80,000 dollars, man, this is 80,000 dollars!" ”

Chamberlain shook his head and said, "Wrong, it's not 80,000 dollars, it's the money you pay for a week's drinks in the bar, it's the money for the clothes you buy for a girl, and it's also the life-saving money for these children to spend a winter comfortably." ”

Billups is also a philanthropist, but he keeps a low profile, and his name rarely makes headlines compared to charity bigwigs like Uncle Mu and Jamison, but he has put a lot of effort into it since he entered the NBA in 1997-98.

Every season with the Pistons, he would invite poor workers to the stadium to watch the game, and he would give away more than 500 tickets in a season; He would set up a scholarship in college, and every summer, he would visit his hometown of Denver nursing homes and orphanages to pay condolences - of course, Billups never turned down the NBA's annual charity activities, and he also set up a fund to donate $1,000 to the fund every time he shot a three-pointer in a game, which has something to do with his habit of attacking three-point shots.

Seeing Chamberlain's move, Billups also took out $50,000 with a stroke of his pen, which he used to improve the clothes and shoes of the children in the slums. In this way, Jackson and the others could not be left behind, and they all donated a sum of money, from $1,000 to $20,000, and the Warriors put together $200,000, which will be spent by Nelson Sr.

Time entered 2008, the first opponent of the Warriors in the New Year was their sworn enemy, the Utah Jazz, there is no doubt that this is also the arrangement of the league, it is indeed a bit disgusting, this kind of happy day to meet this kind of opponent, the Warriors are not happy.

When the players are unhappy, the fans are happy, because it is often the trigger for a good game.

After the players from both sides entered, Chamberlain, Jackson and others walked over to receive Boozer and DeLong, and the two sides did not splash as much as they did when they encountered the Mavericks, but they exchanged a few pleasantries, but if anyone heard their greetings, I am afraid they would shudder:

"You'd better not go into the inside later, or be careful to break your neck!"

"Hehe, you'd better wear knee pads for this game, I'm not sure if you can still stand on the pitch after the game."

The starting lineup of the Warriors is Chamberlain + Petrus + Jackson + Ellis + Billups, the latter has only been in time for a short time and knows little about the old Nelson's tactics, but he is definitely going to start, because even if he doesn't care about the tactics alone, he is the first combat strength of the Warriors on the outside.

The starting lineup of the Jazz team is Oku + Boozer + Kirilenko + Looney Brewer + DeLong, Jazz veteran coach Sloan is an absolutely stubborn guy, all teams are strengthening the roster through trades, only he rarely trades in the middle of the season.

The last time the Warriors were arrogant in the Utah Plateau made the Jazz hate the roots of their teeth, it was the first home game they lost, so this time they meet on the Warriors' home court, they intend to leave a little scar in the hearts of Oakland fans.

Chamberlain jumped the ball to win Oku, Billups got the ball and moved forward rhythmically, Chamberlain helped Ellis block Brewer, Ellis immediately rushed into the box like a wild horse, and when he ran inside, Billups waved the ball and passed the ball accurately through the half.

Ellis went to the basket with no one around him, and the Jazz watched as he threw the ball into the hoop.

Sloane, visibly unhappy with his defense, stood up and yelled a few times, signaling his team to step up.

After Delon dribbled to the frontcourt, Billups went up and pressed, and this is not the first time the two have played each other, as one of the top point guards in the league, the two sides know each other well. Deron has always had a good weight and strength in the No. 1 position, but Billups is not inferior either, so he can't crush the opponent like he did against Paul and Nash.

Billups limited Delon's play, who forced a break through to no avail and then passed the ball to Kirilenko.

In the face of Jackson, the defensive maniac Kirilenko was also quite helpless, he lifted up and made a projection feint, but Jackson was not fooled, but took half a step back to completely block his breakthrough route. But the Jazz were never a team that counted on singles to score, Boozer came up to block Jackson, and Kirilenko broke through with the ball.

Petrus switched defenses, the block was successful, and Kirilenko rushed all the way to the penalty area, only to pass the ball to Boozer.

Jackson was physically strong, but that was for the outside, and he was helpless against Boozer, who pouted his ass a few times in quick succession and was knocked away, and Boozer turned and hit a jumper over his head.

Billups slowly ran forward with the ball and smiled: "Hey, Z, wait for me outside later, how about we also have a block?" ”

Chamberlain pursed his lips disdainfully and said: "Do you still use blocking and dismantling to fight this kind of goods?" With that, he suddenly sped up his running speed and rushed towards the basket.

Oku hurriedly followed up, but when Chamberlain ran to the penalty area, he suddenly turned back and turned back, Billups accelerated at the same time, Delon hurriedly retreated to follow, but he was blocked by Chamberlain, and when he turned around from Chamberlain, Billups had already arrived in the penalty area.

Oku couldn't leave, Billups turned to look at Chamberlain, and the Jazz were so anxious that they all pounced on the latter.

At this time, Billups turned his head and distributed the ball to Jackson outside the three-point line, Jackson was also empty, he smiled at Kirilenko, who rushed to Chamberlain's side, and hit a three-point shot!

"I lied to you." Billups turned to Chamberlain and smiled.

Chamberlain pretended to be angry and shouted: "I am very hurt and angry, and the consequences will be serious!" ”

With the previous lesson, Deron is no longer obsessed with breaking, he slowly cruises on the outside with the ball, has the opportunity to run a few steps to the inside, if he is blocked, then turn around and run out again, his patience has earned him a chance, Chamberlain was unknowingly led out by him, Oku had a chance, Delon immediately passed the ball in.

Oku got the ball and turned around to shoot under the basket, but he didn't dunk because Chamberlain was too fast and he was worried about being blocked.

But the worry still became a reality, and as soon as he shot the ball, a black shadow like a falcon rose into the air, slapped the ball on the ball, and slapped the ball that was still in the ascending stage mercilessly diagonally.

Petrus grabbed the ball, Billups was no longer the slow look, he pulled his leg forward, got the ball and continued to speed up, suffocating his head and running down wildly.

Chamberlain chased after him, and Billups glanced back at him, waved the ball to Ellis on the flank.

Ellis was a quicker runner, and when Billups first crossed the three-point line, he had already rushed into the box, and when he got the ball, he took three steps directly under Brewer's tracking, and threw the ball out of the air despite his physical instability.

Brewer bent down to grab the rebound, but Chamberlain had already followed, the ball hit the inside of the hoop and bounced out, his legs bent as if stepping on a spring, roaring up, his right arm was raised high and straight like the main peak of the Rocky Mountains standing on the ground, his big hand was stretched out, and he grabbed the ball, and then his body full of powerful explosive power bent back like an open strong bow, his arm waved, and a thunderous dunk sounded.

At 7-2, the Warriors made an excellent start.

Delon dribbled the ball to the front court again, Boozer came up to help him make a pick-and-roll, and the two separated, Delon rushed to the wing with Petrus, made a resolute jump shot, and made a forced layup with precision.

Billups laughed, he looked at Deron and said, "Boy, you seem to be arrogant today?" ”

Delon sneered, Billups reached the top of the three-point line at this time, he looked at the little fat man, shook his finger and said: "But your breakthrough just now is not good-looking, come on, let the seniors teach you what a breakthrough is......"

As soon as he spoke, Billups took a lightning step forward with his right foot, and at the same time his body followed the trend, taking two steps in a row, and Delon strode back. When the third step was taken, his right arm holding the ball jerked back, and the ball bounced under his crotch and landed on his left hand, so that his forward body was pulled back, while Delon was still retreating.

The distance between the two sides came out all at once, and Billups adjusted his wrist posture, jumped up gracefully, and slashed two points with a wave of his hand.

Delong's face was very ugly, but he spoke more irritating than Lupus: "I'm sorry, young man, I just lied to you, senior, are you willing to forgive me?" ”

Boozer gave Oku a look, and the latter understood what he meant, which was to let him go out to help the defense, and when the two met, he whispered: "No, this kid Chamberlain can't let go, that guy is more threatening than the other four combined." ”

Boozer shook his head impatiently and said, "Can't you see, Billups's dead bald head and that kid have no chemistry, how many times have the two of them cooperated so far in the game?" They've just become teammates and are still very new to each other, so there's no need to worry too much about him. ”

Oku thought for a moment and thought it made sense, but when he turned to look at Billups, he noticed that the latter had an unfathomable smile at him.

There was a vague uneasiness in the hearts of the Turks.
