Chapter 15: Miracle Rookie
The 'MVP' call in the Staples Center arena came to an abrupt end, Chamberlain's angry stare at the fans was clearly recorded by the cameramen, and everyone on the Warriors bench, including Nelson Sr., applauded, and then suddenly, their applause came to an abrupt end.
After being capped, Kobe Bryant landed, he calmly grabbed the ball in his hand, took a step back and jumped high, and easily completed the dunk in an unguarded state.
Hearing the sound of a slamming dunk, Chamberlain turned around in astonishment and saw the snow-white jersey fluttering like a battle flag, and the golden No. 24 on it was particularly eye-catching.
I really guessed the beginning but didn't guess the end, Chamberlain's block is definitely the level of the top ten blocks of the season, not only is his posture beautiful and imposing, but he is also a popular superstar in the rookie blocking league, and he is destined to make headlines. It's a pity that Kobe's successful dunk behind somewhat diluted the color of this block, and Chamberlain didn't expect this guy to be so tenacious!
If he wasn't tenacious, how could Kobe Bryant go from a high school student to the number one superstar in the league?!
Chamberlain served, old Nelson called a timeout, Kobe Bryant walked off the court expressionlessly, leaving Chamberlain's back with an outstanding demeanor, like an indestructible spear, rather than bending!
"What's wrong? What are you doing here stupidly? Let's go down, the boss is probably going to rotate the lineup. Barnes pulled Chamberlain, and after this game, Chamberlain's ability was completely recognized by the Warriors, and he became a member of the main team of the Warriors.
Chamberlain was a little depressed and said: ", it's a failure, it's 30 points!" ”
Yes, the last thing Chamberlain wanted to see happened, the reason why he worked so hard to defend Kobe Bryant just now was to try to avoid Kobe Bryant's 30 or 5,000 yuan bet, and it was gone.
Barnes rolled his eyes, waved his hand magnificently, and shouted, "Okay brother, I'll pay you ......"
Chamberlain was overjoyed and said movingly: "Really? Barnes, you're a buddy......"
"What a fart," Barnes laughed evilly, "I'm kidding you, rookie, get ready to pay for it, five thousand dollars, I'm willing to gamble and lose, if you dare to pay the bill, then it's fun!" He originally wanted to habitually threaten Chamberlain with violence, but when he thought about the latter's combat effectiveness, he was afraid that if he really played violence, he would give people shot, so he didn't say anything.
As Barnes guessed, with just five minutes left, the Warriors still maintained a 20+ lead, and they won the game, and the old Nelson began to play on the second bench and went up to practice, so O'Bryant, Crohill, Hudson, Belinelli and Pilovic came on.
The Lakers also replaced all the benches, Kobe Bryant and Fisher and others were off the court, and the black mamba covered his face with a towel and lay motionless on the bench, in Jackson's words, 'If the towel is replaced with a corpse cloth, everyone thinks that the Lakers' bench has become a morgue'.
"It's bad." Chamberlain looked at Jackson indignantly and said.
Petrus is barely an honest man, but in the Warriors' lineup, he looked at Chamberlain and said, "Trash talk is normal, and Kobe Bryant doesn't usually say good things about us, so we can't blame Jackson." ”
The Martial Saint Boss was full of depression, it was natural for him to fight the opponent by himself, how could it be considered bad?
Chamberlain shook his head and said, "You misunderstood, I mean he actually set me up just now, this bastard actually teamed up with you to bully me, a rookie, it's really bad and unforgivable!" There are sores on the soles of the feet and pus on the top of the head! The latter sentence he gritted his teeth and said it in Chinese, and his Mandarin is full of strong Shandong flavor, which is his family characteristic.
Petrus and the others suddenly laughed evilly, they pushed Jackson, and said with a non-shitty smile: "That's it, this bastard is unforgivable for bullying rookies!" ”
"Remember his face, Z, he will not dare to ......shoot when he will cover the team in the future during the intra-team game"
"God knows how bad you are, Jackson, you are worse than Satan who deserves to go to hell, and I will never trust you in the future...... Rattle! ”
Samael ghostly sat behind Chamberlain, and when he heard Ellis's parable of 'Satan', he pouted and whispered, "What, what's wrong with Satan?" It's all public opinion! He looked at the depressed Chamberlain and said leisurely: "Boy, do you want me to give you a trick?" You don't have to pay a penny. ”
Upon hearing this, Chamberlain was overjoyed, took Samael's hand and exclaimed excitedly: "North, my dear North, hurry up, what move?" As long as I don't have to pay, no matter what the damn price pays, I'm willing! ”
I'm really scared.
Samael smiled tolerantly and said, "You don't need to pay any price, and Satan is not as harsh as you think." It's very simple, your bet with them is that Kobe Bryant does not score more than 30 points, and now Kobe Bryant has scored exactly 30 points, so you don't lose, you win! ”
This approach is a bit of a scoundrel, generally according to American thinking, no more than 30 points, then it has to be less than 30 points. But Chamberlain was good at shamelessness, and as soon as Samael reminded him, he was happy at once, and the gang of people who were teasing Jackson shut up.
"Don't be so shameless, it's only five thousand yuan in total?" Barnes said depressedly.
Chamberlain turned to look at these people with bad intentions, and said with a gloomy smile: "It's not just five thousand yuan, damn, so you have to lose money to me and Jackson, the Martial Saint Boss, aren't you?" ”
Jackson was stunned for a moment, then patted his thigh and yelled: "Yes, damn Kobe Bryant didn't score more than 30 points, get the and get me the money, give me the money!" If anyone the fuck dares to pay me a debt, I'll break his legs! ”
In the midst of a group of noisy people, the opening game between the Lakers and the Warriors came to an end, and when the main players of both sides left the court, fans began to leave the court, staying here to watch a doomed game, what's the point?
The final score of the two teams was 114:100, and the Warriors won by double digits, and the elder Nelson shook hands with Zen master Jackson in high spirits, and the latter said sourly: "Old Don, where did you get such a good player?" Today we lost at his hands. ”
Phil Jackson usually looks breezy and calm, but he is also a high-minded man, and it is more difficult to make him admit that he lost to Nelson Sr. than to make him run naked around the court.
Old Nelson didn't care, he said triumphantly: "Man, you have to be kind, when you used to win me with Jordan and O'Neal, I didn't seem to say that, right?" Let's put it this way, you can take a good look in the future, there is a chance to lose to my Super Z! ”
Jackson smiled coldly, shook his head and said, "Not necessarily, Old Tang, I admit that this rookie is great, but he may not always play under you!" ”
Leaving such an ambiguous sentence, Jackson turned away and returned to his work area, he immediately pulled his scouts and shouted through gritted teeth: "Go and check the details of that damn rookie, I want to know all the information about him from birth to now!" And check his contract for me, and if you have the chance, poach me to Los Angeles! ”
Kobe Bryant followed behind Jackson, he also grabbed the scout, and shouted angrily: "No matter what the price is, as long as we can poach that rookie, we can pay it!" Remember, at any cost! ”
This is not an exaggeration, Chamberlain really deserves to be treated like this by the Lakers, look at his results in a game today: 12 points, 18 rebounds, 10 blocks, in addition to 2 assists and 2 steals, except for a somewhat low score, the rest is simply a super interior performance, and this is his debut, this is his first game!
Chamberlain followed Davis and his gang to the locker room, and a group of reporters surrounded Urala, who rushed forward with long guns and short cannons, and the microphone in his hand was desperately raised to a high place, and the long-prepared question was sprayed out like a tongue twister:
"Hi Mr. Chamberlain, I'm Jones, a reporter for Fox Sports News, what league did you play in before?"
"I'm Mike from FNN Sports, Zhang, congratulations on your perfect debut, what do you have to say about your opponent? How do you feel about getting a triple-double in your first game in the NBA? ”
"This is ESPN, Mr. Z, can you give us a chance to interview you individually?"
It was the first time Chamberlain had encountered such a thing, and he was at a loss for a moment, and he didn't know how to deal with this situation. At least forty or fifty reporters gathered him in the center, he wanted to go but there was nowhere to go, he had imagined that one day he would be successful and the reporters would come to interview him, but when the day came, he found that he could not cope with this kind of scene at all.
"Hi Jackson, Davis, you guys...... Damn it! Chamberlain wanted to ask this so-called big brother for help, but when he looked ahead, a group of players ran into the players' tunnel with their tails between their legs like dogs, and they didn't even turn back.
Back? Are you kidding! You must know that NBA players are different from ordinary stars, they don't need reporters to help hype, because their salary or the number of fans has nothing to do with the reporter's report, they just need to play a good game on the court and get good statistics.
As a result, NBA players are not as eager for interviews as movie stars in the entertainment industry, but rather disgusted by them, and in their view, the end of the game means that their work is over, and the rest of the time is their personal time. And the reporter's interview is their own work, and they don't have to waste their time trying to cope with someone else's work.
In the past, every time the game ended, reporters would chase and intercept them, but this time Chamberlain finally attracted firepower, can they run fast?
Chamberlain listened to the reporters' gossip questions, as if a swarm of flies were 'buzzing' in his ears, so that he could not react. He couldn't adapt to this kind of scene, he wanted to leave, but he couldn't, the reporters surrounded him too tightly, and if he forced himself out, he would inevitably knock over the reporters.
Even if he didn't move, some reporters were knocked down, and a tall female reporter did not stand firm in the crowded group of reporters, and was squeezed by a sturdy black man next to her, and was directly squeezed to the ground.
Chamberlain subconsciously stepped over and reached out to help the reporter who was squeezed to the ground.
This female reporter is a yellow person, her appearance is very beautiful, her eyebrows are picturesque, her nose is fragrant, her skin is tender and she seems to be able to blow and break, and her facial features are delicate like a legendary female elf.
In addition, not only is she beautiful, but her figure is also great, I saw that under a set of chic milky white overalls, the woman's perfect figure was outlined, with crisp breasts and buttocks that were impressive, and the willow waist was unbearable, and the whole body was rippling with an elegant and confident urban beauty.
Samael, who was outside, wanted to come up and take Chamberlain out of the city, but when he saw this scene, he smiled slightly, turned his head and walked away.
