Chapter 807: The Power of Anger

The Warriors are indeed extremely angry about Artest's malicious foul, and generally speaking, under the control of extreme emotions, people will burst out of their potential to play a strong counterattack, but they are also prone to go to extremes and make repeated mistakes.

But the Warriors have Billups as the master of control, and he steers the big ship steadily, so that the Lakers who came to ransack it will return with nothing to lose.

Chamberlain's affection has always been his shortcoming, he did not cooperate with Billups, the Zen master's affection guess worked on him, and he moved a lot on the offensive end, as long as Bynum and Gasol dared to wrap up, he would raise his elbows.

On the defensive end, Chamberlain's movements were no longer so clean, during which there was a block on Gasol, the latter shot extremely fast, and when Chamberlain jumped, he knew that the block would be in vain, but he directly gritted his teeth, reached out and pulled Gasol's elbow, and directly overturned him.

In the last two minutes of the third quarter, Chamberlain ate two fouls in a row, one for an offensive elbow and one for Gasol.

Gasol was knocked down, the Lakers quit, and Chamberlain's attitude made the arrogant Purple Shirts extremely angry, after he knocked down Gasol, he still sneered disdainfully after landing, only looked at Gasol with his spare eyes, and then walked away with his head held high.

"Do you think you're a hero? Bastard! Excited Lakers fans yelled off the court.

Chamberlain sneered and looked at the position of the fan, and raised his hand to make a gesture of the middle finger, but fortunately, Billups was extremely familiar with him, Chamberlain raised his arm, and he immediately jumped up and pulled it down.

Even so, some media also captured Chamberlain's outstretched middle finger, but instead of being raised, it was pulled down by Billups and pointed to the ground.

Taking advantage of Gasol's free throws, the elder Nelson replaced Chamberlain, obviously needing him to calm down.

Kenny Smith shook his head and said, "Oh no, Z can't do that, he has to learn to control his feelings!" This is the courage of the horseman, and it will be a huge fetter on his way to greatness! โ€

Barkley, on the contrary, had a great appetite for Chamberlain's bravery, and he retorted: "The great bond? Bullshit, it's because of this that Z can get out of unprecedented heights! Look at the superstars, Magic Johnson, Big Bird Bird, and MJ, don't tell me, these guys are good-natured little pot friends! โ€

Anyway, now Chamberlain's love is affecting his play, and with less than a minute left in the third quarter, the old Nelson simply replaced him, and if Chamberlain gets a foul on the court again, then there will be a play in the fourth quarter.

After the game, Ibaka and Chamberlain hugged each other, patted him on the back and said: "Z, thank you, I'm fine, but I was a little dizzy before, don't worry!" โ€

Chamberlain also patted Ibaka on the back and said, "I will avenge you, brother, we can't let others bully!" โ€

No sooner had Chamberlain returned to the bench than Thurmond came up and sat down beside him.

The relationship between the two has always been very good, Thurmond was Chamberlain's first teacher, and the teaching he gave was far from being comparable to others, in addition, Thurmond has been his physical trainer until now.

Thurmond looked at the arena and said slowly: "In 1963, I was drafted by the team. It was a short time since the team left Philadelphia, and it wasn't in Oakland, but in San Francisco, and I went to that team. โ€

Chamberlain, not knowing what he meant by this, asked, "What's wrong?" โ€

Thurmond answered the question, and still said slowly: "You don't know how I felt at that time, in the sixties, when the status of blacks was still very low, do you know the boxing champion Ali?" He was born in Louisville, Kentucky. As was the case in other states in the United States at the time, apartheid was a part of Kentucky's life, where there were places for people of color to eat, and they were not allowed to enter restaurants for white people, and in 1960, he had just won the Olympic Games in Rome, Italy, and the hotel still refused to let him in because he was black! In a fit of rage, Ali threw the gold medal into the gutter. If Ali is like that, what about black people like us? โ€

Ali's position in the boxing world is unique, he won the championship 22 times in a row, but only won an Olympic gold medal, because of the incident in 1960, Ali cried bitterly afterwards, telling his relatives and friends that he had lost the motivation to fight for this country and would never fight for his country again.

"So, you know, even though we're called 'people,' we're actually somewhere between livestock and people. I knew that basketball was the only way out for me, I wanted dignity, I practiced like crazy, and I finally got into the NBA and got the opportunity to get dignity. โ€

Chamberlain still didn't understand what Thurmond was trying to do, but he could feel the pathos in the heart of the tough veteran, so he patted him on the shoulder.

Even now, the problem of racial discrimination in the United States has always been very serious, and in comparison, the regional discrimination of the Celestial Empire is nothing. In the previous air post office bomb case, Chamberlain was the victim of racial discrimination, and the police chief who he is now discredited once wanted to throw him directly into prison because he was a yellow race.

In the past, racial discrimination in the United States was even more severe in the fifties and sixties, when Russell led the Green Shirts to eight consecutive championships, and once at a post-championship celebration, Russell brought his elderly grandfather to the locker room.

In the locker room, Russell and McHale and other teammates were laughing and playing, and his grandfather cried when he saw it, saying, 'I never thought that one day black and white people could make friends.'"

Ibaka next to him laughed: "We all know this, old fellow, you are the first real superstar of the Warriors after leaving Philadelphia, I heard that in your golden career, that is, in the sixties and seventies, you were as famous in San Francisco as the Golden Gate Bridge in that city!" โ€

Thurmond smiled and said, "There are a lot of things that are not as wonderful as you seem, but in 1974, the then Warriors owner Krish thought I was too old, and there was Barry Jr. at the time, so he put me on the shelf and wanted to trade me, and you should all know why." โ€

"Yes, because two seasons ago, after I took the Warriors to the Finals, I lost to the 76ers with Dr. J Irving. So, that guy felt that I couldn't do it anymore and was going to send me away. What I hate the most is the damn position in the NBA, the players are not human at all in the trade, just cattle and horses, as long as someone pays, they can take you away at will, believe me, the NBA stars at that time didn't have the status of you! โ€

"Because of this livestock-like transaction, the dignity and glory that I had fought for many years were suddenly stripped away, and I was extremely angry and desperate at that time, and I was like an old beast that had lost a qiฤ“, rampaging through the Alliance."

"That's when Owen suddenly found me, yes, Dr. J Owen, the guy who beat me twice in the finals." Thurmond smiled, admiration on his face.

To win the admiration of a tough guy like Sรจ Mondstadt is not something that ordinary people can do, Chamberlain smiled: "You admire Owen very much? I've heard before that Owen is a good player, but he has a gentle temper and a humble temper, and I thought a tough guy like you was the least likely to deal with him. โ€

Thurmond sighed and said, "Yes, in fact, before I met him in the finals, I looked down on him, looked down on him, and thought he was a soft bone. But after losing to him twice in the finals, I realized how good he was. Do you know what he said to me when he came to me at the time? He sued me for a power called 'anger'! โ€

At this time, Chamberlain knew what Thurmond meant.

"The power of anger, Z, do you know what kind of power this is? Owen told me that anger is the most terrifying force of all, and it contains far more energy than TNT and anything like that. But if you can't control it, then you can only be destroyed by it, and if you can drive it to fight for you, then you will sweep the world invincible! Thurmond's affection soared.

"Under Owen's guidance and guidance, I realized that Owen is not a soft bone, in fact, he is also a tough guy, a super warrior. But after being provoked, he will not solve the problem with his fists, but will inject the power of anger into the ball, which will turn into a cannonball! โ€

Winnie walked up and added, "One of the things that happened later, as you should all know, was that Thurmond was traded to the Bulls, and one time they met the Atlanta Hawks. The Hawks are a conservative and traditional team, and when the Warriors traded Thurmond, their head coach and uniform said that Krish's idiot had done the right thing, and then, against the Hawks, Thurmond scored his first four-double in NBA history! โ€

Thurmond hugged Chamberlain and said, "Control your feelings, inject your anger into your balls instead of fists, and then destroy your opponents, it's as simple as that!" โ€

Chamberlain nodded slowly, and during the timeout in the third quarter, he held his head and shrunk back in his chair, and the Lakers fans were very happy, thinking that he was manipulated by anger and that Nelson Sr. might not let him play in the fourth quarter.

As a result, at the beginning of the fourth quarter, Nelson Sr. waved his hand, and Chamberlain stood on the court for the first time.

The opening game was the Warriors' possession, Iverson quickly rushed to the three-point line, he did two crotch dribbles in a row, and was just about to break through, but saw Chamberlain on the inside pushing Bynum and reaching for the ball.

Iverson passed the ball in, and a blank Chamberlain received the ball, then gritted his teeth and slammed it in.

Gasol covered his chest with his arms and was not surprised, he was ready, as long as Chamberlain dared to hit him, he would fall to the ground, this is not a reasonable collision zone, Chamberlain is going to eat offensive fouls again!

No one touched him after he stood firm, and Chamberlain made the illusion of a strong attack, but in fact he took advantage of the impact to make a quick turn, bypassing Gasol and heading straight for the basket.

Bynum had just come back to his senses, and then he saw a celestial demon-like figure soaring into the sky like a crane, roaring towards him with the momentum of a storm crashing on the shore.

"God!" Bynum only had time to exclaim, Chamberlain had already straddled him like a battery, holding the ball high with both hands in a position of optimus, waving his arms and smashing the ball into the hoop!

The Oracle Arena suddenly resounded with the cheers of war drums, and a huge wave of sound swept the audience, suddenly raising the atmosphere of the game to the climax.

The beginning was a riding buckle, but Chamberlain had no fanatical expression on his face, he glanced at Bynum lightly, and said, "Don't get too close to me, I don't want to kill!" โ€

Bynum's face was crying, his lips trembled as if he had been bullied, and Kobe Bryant secretly hated it.

Fisher passed the ball to Gasol on the inside, and Oxlain pushed Gibson on the top, Gasol slowly moved high and then passed to Bynum.

The little shark got the ball and wanted to dunk it, when the whistling wind sounded, and when he turned around, he was shocked to see that Chamberlain had actually killed him again!

"What a speed!" Barkley groaned.

Bynum didn't dare to shoot and passed the ball to Kobe, Chamberlain pushed him away and waited for Kobe to break through, and then made up for it, Kobe jumped up and shot, and the ball hit the iron and fell.

Gibson picked up the rebound and handed it to Iverson, and the Warriors rushed to the frontcourt, but Iverson didn't wait for his teammates to get into place and threw the ball directly into the restricted area.

At the moment of his pass, a lively figure rushed up from the flank, and when he received the ball, he dunked.

Gasol and Bynum followed behind, their faces dazed, looking at Chamberlain hanging from the hoop, and their hearts were full of frustration.

Not only did he dunk his shot, Chamberlain's dance steps under the basket made another meritorious move, he kept shifting the position of holding the ball on the offensive end, Bynum and Gasol chased very hard, and after getting the ball, Chamberlain continued to turn and change direction, and the guard-like breakthrough made the Zen master pale.

Broke through to the basket, leaving one Odom to make up for the defense, and Chamberlain controlled the ball and slashed inside.

Odom was never such a tough man, and he had to get out of the way when Chamberlain slashed so many times.

Chamberlain suddenly twisted his waist, stuck Odom sideways, and then quickly stomped and jumped, grabbed the ball with one hand and glided all the way down the perimeter from his lower abdomen, and after hooking his hand, the ball fell into the hoop.

Attacking again, Chamberlain began to ask for the ball at the three-point line, Gasol stared at him cautiously, and Bynum made up for it behind.

Seeing this, Chamberlain smiled coldly, waved his arms and raised his hands to make a gesture projection.

Gasol guessed that this was a feint, so he held still, but Chamberlain turned his feint into a strong attack, his legs were barely bent, he jumped high and shook his wrists, and with a crisp sound, the ball spun quickly and fell into the hoop!

The Zen master was suddenly messy, and he didn't know whether to call a timeout.

After a round, Iverson was still dribbling the ball fast, he quickly broke into the penalty area, and Odom and Kobe Bryant soon arrived, one left and one right to clamp Iverson.

The answer was silent, and he threw the ball with his hand.

Someone followed behind, Chamberlain received the ball and slapped it the ground, the whole person turned into a sharp arrow, rushed into the penalty area ragingly, waved down with both arms raised and full of anger, and slammed it again!

Carlisle hurriedly called a timeout and yelled vigorously 'help defense, supplementary defense, package clamp'.

The Zen master almost collapsed, quickly jumped up and tore his throat and shouted, "Pause, pause, pause!" โ€

At the same time, 20,000 Warriors fans screamed hoarsely, "MVP! MVP๏ผ MVP๏ผ โ€
