Chapter 926: Welcome to the Dynasty Season
In this brawl, Chamberlain was really shot.
The game had nothing to do with him, he just accepted the invitation to watch the game as a guest area, and after the brawl, he was still very calm at the time, and went up to pull the two sides apart - although there was a suspicion of pulling the offset, because from the video replay, he gently pulled away his teammates in the men's basketball team, as for the Brazilian players? He threw it out like a sandbag.
However, this also amazed the fans, the body of the NBA's top center is really perverted!
Chamberlain has been working hard to create a positive image of himself now, and he rarely has an affair with Taylor, and of course there is still a broken connection with Zhang Zilin.
Therefore, after the game, he took the initiative to go to the Brazilian men's basketball team to negotiate and resolve the matter.
Unbeknownst to him, this caused the biggest conflict, and Chamberlain was so angry that he beat up the leader and his lackeys.
As it was, there was no room for redemption, and the Brazilian team contacted the Ministry of Foreign Affairs the next day and left China in a hurry.
This incident caused an uproar in the international basketball world, originally because of the rapid rise of the Chinese men's basketball team, many countries suffered from pink eye.
Now in the international basketball world, teams in Europe and the Americas are recognized as the hegemon of the Dream Team, and then Europe prides itself on being an aristocrat, the Americas consider themselves to be strong, and the Chinese men's basketball team is regarded as an upstart.
As a result, this arena brawl is regarded as the low-prime zhì table xiàn of the nouveau riche.
Chamberlain sneered contemptuously at the condemnation of the sports media in other countries, and he asked Li Qun to draft an article for him, carefully introducing the players of the Brazilian national team when they participated in the World Championships in Turkey, and this time the so-called 'Brazilian team' did not have a national team player at all, and there was no second team!
In this way, the Chinese sports media then asked rhetorically, what is the matter for the Brazilian team to send such a team of street players to China? You don't respect us, so why should we respect you?
The rest was a between the sports media, and it had nothing to do with Chamberlain, who then went to Hong Kong and played another preseason game.
The preseason is just a run-in game, and it doesn't have to be played between NBA teams, such as the Lakers, who are playing in Europe at this time, or playing the national team one by one.
The last team the Warriors played overseas was the Hong Kong team.
Because of the principle of one country, two systems, Hong Kong can play its own teams in the World Series, such as the football star team, etc., but their basketball level is relatively low and they cannot enter the World Series.
The full name of the Hong Kong team is the Hong Kong Basketball Club Basketball Team, which is a new army, formed in August 2008, with an average age of 20 for 12 players. 4 years old with an average height of 1. At 968 meters, it is a young and new basketball team with room for development.
Since its establishment, the Chinese Basketball Association has given a lot of support to the Hong Kong team, this time the Warriors were supposed to go to Taiwan to compete, and later the Chinese Basketball Association and the NBA communicated to support the Hong Kong team.
The players of the Hong Kong team are short in height as a whole, and they pursue fastness, flexibility, and emphasis on defensive counterattacks in tactics, and strive to form their own tactical system based on the characteristics of the team. Constantly absorb new tactical ideas and refine your style.
In the more than a year since the establishment of the club, according to the requirements of the basketball management center, a youth team has been formed at the same time, with 22 players with an average age of 17. 18 years old, average height 1. 969 meters, basically forming a complete echelon system.
In this game, Chamberlain went up to play soy sauce, and the two sides were not high-grade opponents at all, Carter went up and began to pick up the windmill, and the opponent could not stop it.
Even though it's a preseason, it's a real game, and the Warriors need to hurry up and get used to the team, so Nelson Sr. didn't let the players be too restrained, and they still had to play how they wanted.
However, the old Nelson restrained the team, and every time he attacked, the ball must be reversed by all the players present before he could shoot, and it was not allowed to rely on individual ability to crush directly.
Even so, the final score was 128-55, and Hong Kong fans were embarrassed and finally knew how big the gap between their own team and the world-class team was!
After returning to the United States, the Warriors played their remaining four preseason games, eight games, and won 6-2.
Nelson Sr. not only has to seize the time to train, but also to seize the time to replenish the lineup, so far, they are still three people away from the 15-man roster.
Knowing that the Warriors are still strengthening the lineup, other teams are secretly scolding their mothers, Chamberlain + Carter + Jamison + West + Curry + Ibaka + Iverson, even if Iverson and Jamison These veterans have decreased a lot, but the skinny camel is bigger than the horse, and this lineup is still stronger?
What makes these teams want to scold their mothers even more is that the Warriors are looking at Arenas!
Every new season, fans of each team do not forget to praise their teams for improving over the previous ones, and some fans even claim that their teams have the potential to win championships.
But that's not what they think in their hearts.
They know that they can't win a championship without enough talent -- like the Knicks, without a strong defense -- like the Mavericks, without enough chemistry -- like the Nuggets, without a great coach -- like former Cavaliers coach Mike Brown, or with an owner who doesn't care about a championship -- Donald Sterling, the owner of the Clippers.
Teams that have won championships since 1980 include: Lakers, Bulls, Celtics, Spurs, Pistons, Rockets, 76ers and Rockets.
They all have special players – Magic Johnson, Larry Bird, Michael Jordan, Hakeem Olajuwon, Tim Duncan, Isaiah Thomas, Shaq O'Neal and Kobe Bryant, good coaches – Phil Jackson, Pat Riley, Greg Popovich, Nelson Sr., and championship-hungry bosses.
The Wizards also want to win a championship, but they are facing a lot of problems right now.
On paper, the Wizards are good at the moment, they have something special on their team, from coaches, talent to chemistry, they have no shortage of them, and they have every hope of competing for a championship.
Their coach, Philip Saunders, the coach who single-handedly developed Garnett into a superstar. Despite not winning a championship, he took the Timberwolves to the Western Conference Finals.
The Wizards are also not short of talented players, and this is the strongest roster the Wizards have had in many years.
John Wall has a lot of potential and will be one of the best point guards in the league in the next 12-15 years. Hinrich has been excellent on both ends of the floor, and he's also a great leader. Josh Howard is an excellent and well-rounded scorer as long as he's healthy.
As for Blatche and McGee, the former excels in low-post singles and mid-range jumpers, while the latter is equally good at defense, rebounding, and fast-breaking. There is also Yi Jianlian, who can play 3 positions, and his watch at the World Championships has also shown his outstanding ability. And the rest of the players are not only young but also have a lot of potential.
The biggest problem for the Wizards is chemistry.
Wall will make every player on the Wizards better, but it will also require Arenas to make a change, sharing the ball with his teammates and using his abilities to attract defense to his teammates, rather than monopolizing power.
But this was not the result Arenas wanted, and the appearance of last season's gun-wielding goal was too big a blow to Arenas' career, and Jamison was sent away directly, leading the old Wizards to fall apart.
In addition, the Wizards selected Wall, who coincided with Arenas' position in the draft, and the implication is self-evident.
Therefore, Arenas may think that the Wizards chose Wall to replace Wall, which made him unhappy with his reckless background.
What's even more unhappy is that now the sports media in Washington are targeting him, arguing that he should learn like David Robinson.
In 1997, the Spurs selected Duncan, who was equally good, and David Robinson had not led the Spurs to a championship before. But instead of being selfish and narrow-minded because of Duncan's arrival, he taught Duncan his experience, trained with the young man, and made a change. In the end, they helped the Spurs win the championship in 1999.
So the media believes that Arenas should be the same, he should be Wall's mentor and friend, and should not become the team's "cancer", only caring about his own scores, regardless of the team's interests. If Arenas can change, it is not impossible that with the Wizards' young capital and talent, it is not impossible to compete for a championship in the next few years.
Arenas hates this argument because he's still confident that he's still a top scorer, and he welcomes Wall's Wizards, but he's not going to give up his position as the leader.
In this way, the problem of the Wizards is relatively big, the Wizards are not here to be Arenas' younger brother, and Arenas does not want the team to sign someone to be his uncle.
So the problem comes, one mountain cannot tolerate two tigers!
Arenas kept looking for Jamison all summer to vent his bitterness, so after coming to the Warriors, Jamison kept pulling the line, trying to pull Arenas to the Warriors.
The Warriors now have draft picks, trade exceptions, and free salaries, and it won't be a problem to acquire Arenas, which is a chicken rib for the Wizards.
Other teams also understand this truth, and those teams are almost scared when they learn that the two sides may trade, and now the Wizards' uniform team phone rings all day long, all of them are called by other teams, so that they must be stable and not trade Arenas to the Warriors.
The Wizards saw that Arenas was so valuable, so they self-righteously chose to sell at a price.
The Warriors wanted a three-way trade, and the Wizards opened their mouths to ask for Paul George, as well as the Warriors' draft pick for next year.
With this result, it was Nelson Scold's turn to scold his mother, he positioned Arenas as the team's main substitute, and with such a guy, he wanted to take away Paul George, the future main small forward, isn't it a dream?
So, in Chamberlain's regretful gaze, the deal was abandoned.
However, because the regular season starts soon, the Warriors are not very concerned about this deal.
Traditionally, before the start of each season, USA Today, the largest national newspaper in the United States, ranks the power rankings based on the preseason teams and the potential of the teams.
As the team that won the previous two consecutive championships, the Warriors have undoubtedly become the number one in strength, "USA Today" commented: "As long as there is Z, this team is the best, not to mention that they also got Carter and Jamison, two All-Stars in the summer, but be wary, this team's guard line, there is no real playmaker!" ”
The lack of playmaking guards is also seen as the only flaw in the Warriors.
In second place is the Lakers, and the success of this team lies in the stability of the team, you know, the stability of the dìng is overwhelming, and this applies not only to socialist officialdom, but also to the NBA.
Although the Warriors have added Carter and Jamison on paper, it is not easy to say whether their combat effectiveness has improved, and the best example is the Magic team last season, because the introduction of Carter can go to the next level.
As a result, the Magic team was miserable......
The Celtics are in third place, while the Heat, who have brought together the three superstars of James, Wade and Bosh this summer, are only in fourth place. The Magic, Spurs, Thunder, Mavericks, Suns and Hawks are ranked fifth through tenth on this list.
In this way, as soon as the new season is ready, it is only owed to the east wind.
