Chapter 919: Run-in
Paul George shrugged and sat on the sidelines, and Chamberlain patted him on the shoulder and said, "Rookie, get your mentality right, I started from the bench when I entered the NBA." ”
George nodded and smiled, and said: "I understand, boss, I understand this very well, I have a very good attitude now, I will protect the water dispenser, you may not know, I have no other advantages, just low-key and honest!" ”
Chamberlain smiled and nodded with satisfaction, Iverson came over with the ball, looked at George teasingly, and said, "Rookie, are you still low-key and honest?" I heard that someone soaked Kobe's horse, did you do it? ”
As soon as he heard this, Chamberlain's eyes suddenly widened, and he said, "Damn, there is still this kind of news?" Damn, it seems that I went to Turkey, I was out of touch with the NBA, let's talk about it, how did you kid get into Vanessa? ”
Listening to Chamberlain's words, Iverson immediately laughed, and George had a dark face, waved his hand in panic: "Don't listen to their nonsense, boss, don't talk nonsense!" I didn't dig into the corner of Kobe's boss, he was my idol and I adored him......"
"Idols?" Chamberlain put his arm on George's shoulder, narrowed his eyes dangerously, and said, "The Lakers are our mortal enemies, you know?" If it weren't for the Lakers, I would have won a championship in my rookie season! So, as long as I'm still in the West, the Lakers will never make it to the Finals! ”
George nodded hurriedly and said, "I know, Boss, you know I'm loyal to you and to our team, I mean, the enemy of the team is my Paul George's enemy!" However, I have nothing to do with Kobe's wife, Vanessa! ”
When Chamberlain saw that George was serious, he looked at Iverson depressedly, Iverson pouted, and Jackson said next to him: "It's not Vanessa, it's another, Jessica Burcia." ”
Chamberlain was puzzled and said, "Who is Jessica Burcia?" ”
"The contracted model of Playboy is a thirty-year-old mature woman with extremely complex pedigree, ranging from Mexico, Spain, France, Ireland, and Germany. So you know, after multiple hybrids, this girl's face is naturally speechless, and it is also a murder weapon in the world, with a strong visual impact. Iverson licked his lips and said enviously.
George hung his head and said weakly: "I didn't know she had a relationship with Kobe - no, in fact, Kobe had nothing to do with her, it was just damn paparazzi nonsense!" ”
Chamberlain frowned and said, "Wait, what's going on, what's going on?" Come, let me sit down, and then you can elaborate on the gossip I like to listen to the most, especially when it comes to love triangles. ”
Iverson, Jackson, and Barnes looked at each other strangely, and then said the matter in a rambling manner.
It turned out that after George joined the Warriors, because his home was in California, the team wanted to make some gimmicks around the relationship between him and California, and helped him arrange a lot of celebrity activities in the sports and entertainment circles in September.
It's easy to have problems when you go to more parties, and I don't know what's going on, George hooked up with a mature woman, and this woman is naturally Jessica Burcia, who is now touted by Playboy.
Young men and ****, this is always a good topic in the entertainment industry, and then George became popular.
This is what the Warriors want to see, the sports circle is also the entertainment industry, and the stars are not hyped. As a result, a tabloid suddenly exposed a piece of news, that is, Jessica Burcia and Lakers star Kobe Bryant also had a grudge.
It just so happens that George has been saying one thing since he entered the league: "I was born in a small town in Palmdale, our town is very close to Los Angeles, and Kobe Bryant is my idol. I think his spirit is worth learning from every player, even when he doesn't shoot well, he can grab 15 rebounds to help the team, and he can use his fighting spirit to wake up his teammates to fight! ”
As a result, as soon as the Jessica incident came out, George and Kobe Bryant became entangled.
Los Angeles may be the most developed place in the entertainment industry in the United States, even if it is a dog and a cat that are not related, these idle reporters who have no food to eat have a way to connect you, not to mention two macho men and a beautiful woman?
Looking at George with his head drooping, Iverson gloated, he laughed and said: "Z, don't you know, this melon baby is really a fan of Kobe, the first thing he wanted to know after coming to the team was Kobe's qiē, he asked me countless Kobe questions - how did Kobe train?" How long does Kobe Bryant train? How does Kobe Bryant schedule game days? What exactly is Kobe doing at 4 a.m.? ”
After saying that, Iverson touched George's head and laughed: "You know what Kobe Bryant is doing at four o'clock in the morning this time, right?" Of course he was practicing, but it's hard to say whether he was practicing the ball or Jessica's two meat balls. ”
George raised his head and explained innocently: "Jessica and I are really nothing, Kobe Bryant and her are nothing, right?" ”
Chamberlain said firmly: "Believe me, with my understanding of men's urine sex, there is absolutely something between Kobe and that girl!" ”
Old Nelson saw that the group was chatting happily, so he frowned and waved his hand, and shouted: "You bastards, hurry up and get me on the court!" It's ****** to fight! ”
was yelled at by the old coach, and a dry birdman quickly farted and urinated, and rushed to the court to prepare for the start of the game.
Billups' trade had not yet taken place, and he also came to the scene, sitting on the sidelines with a complicated face, looking at the court with his chin propped on his hands.
Oxlade-Chamberlain and Evans jumped the ball, and naturally won without a doubt, and he gave the racket to West, subconsciously staying in the midfield position and waiting.
West rushed with his feet, and Iverson was blocked by Carter, and he was thrown away like that.
West rushed to the three-point line in a few steps, only to look back and see Chamberlain standing stupidly near the midfield, and was stunned: "What the fuck is this tactic?" Did you and Chauncey fight like this before? ”
Chamberlain smiled awkwardly and said, "No, I played like this when I was in the World Championships." ”
made a fuss, Chamberlain thought that this was a partner with the Chinese men's basketball team, he stayed in the midfield, preparing to cover his teammates.
Old Nelson shook his head helplessly, he spread his hands and shouted, "You guys give me ****** be serious, OK?" Is it owed ****? If you don't want to play, get out of here and work on strength and fitness! ”
Chamberlain hurriedly ran back, he happened to cover West outside the three-point line, Mad Dog pulled his feet and charged, directly into the interior from the middle, and at this time, on the wing, a ghostly figure also followed.
West looked to the side, then waved his hand to throw the ball to the hoop, at this time the figure that followed paused slightly, and then it seemed to be a take-off space fighter, flying straight into the air, receiving the ball and pressing it down suddenly, there was a violent dunk!
Vince Carter!
Chamberlain was running inside, but the offense was over, he shook his head helplessly, but he was actually very happy in his heart, damn, he was tired of the World Championships, and his outside teammates could dribble at most, and he now realized how cool it is to have a group of strong outside teammates.
Nelson Sr. arranged the tactics, and the Yellow Shirts had to punch the card first, and the old man was going to push Carter as the outside core.
Carter lived up to expectations, and after receiving the pass, he played brilliantly on several occasions.
Chamberlain also studied Carter intently before, and in the two years of the mammoth leader, Carter's offense was mainly three threats, shooting swaying, the first strong burst or stepping back to the strong burst, and then throwing or dunking, if there was no chance to burst, then pull out the jump shot.
Carter's breakthrough is very powerful, but it is powerful in his explosiveness, when he was with the Raptors, he was not good at dribbling, whether it was hand control or pace change, compared to Pierce and Kobe Bryant, who was one year younger in the same year.
He can seriously rely on his dribbling rhythm, change of direction, and position to break through, and it was in 2005 that he went to New Jersey.
Carter started very high, and then seemed to be more and more average, quite a feeling of hurt Zhongyong. In fact, he has been improving, just because the dunk in the early years was too impressive, so even if he improved so much later, the fans' impression is still that omnipotent demigod when he dunked.
After arriving in New Jersey, Carter began to practice his three-point shooting, which made his three-point shooting more accurate. In addition, he has a good back pace and is one of the few players in the guard who can play with his back, which is also the inheritance of his big brother Jordan in North Carolina.
Carter was average in his early years, from mid-to-near baskets to long-distance mid-range shots, and the worst thing was that he lacked refined basket skills except for winning one step and pulling hard.
So in the final analysis, before 2005, Carter had a mediocre sense of small ball and a monotonous offense, except for the triple threat of strong speed + long-range pulling. So at that time, Carter had a very fucked up habit: once the opponent put pressure and couldn't break through, he began to throw long shots.
Vision and passing skills have always been good, a little underrated, but not enough to be a playmaker. On the defensive end, his early pace was basically not finely adjusted, and his body movement also seemed to be extremely large, and the result was that he had to take a step back to avoid making people suddenly, giving people a super unpressive look.
But now, Carter may have corrected his attitude, he played calmly, several passes were decent, Chamberlain scored three layups, Carter assisted twice, and West, although he tried to feed Chamberlain, did not have a single assist.
The fans at the scene watched it coolly, Carter, Chamberlain, Ibaka and West, all four of them are dunk maniacs, and it is difficult to join hands to make the hoop, and the four of them take turns to dunk, constantly taking off, and almost smashing the rebound!
The training match lasted 40 minutes, 20 minutes and a half, and two halves in succession, George landed all the way in the second half, but the table was very average.
West passed to him a few times, but his ball-handling projection was not very stable, but his catch-and-shoot was reliable, which meant that he lacked the ability to attack on his own.
But Chamberlain was pleased with one thing, this guy was particularly good at using his teammates' cover to find opportunities to shoot jumpers, and he helped George block a few times, and George hit back-to-back shots.
George is very good at teaming up with his teammates on the inside, and his awareness in this area is the strongest of any small forward Chamberlain knows, and even Durant can't match him.
Now George's worst thing is his ball control skills, his center of gravity is too high, and his sense of rhythm is not good when dribbling, Iverson is now so athletic that he steals four balls on him, if he wasn't afraid of hitting him too much, Iverson would have been able to tear George to tears.
The good thing is that he has great athleticism, he is fast and explosive, and once he gets the ball and starts to start, few people can stop him.
Old Nelson's face was grim, but his heart was happy, and he said to Hill: "What level do you say this kid is now?" ”
Hill thought for a moment and said, "If you talk about offense alone, he can't even get into the top 20 in small forwards, and if you add defense, he can at least get into the top 10." If you look at the potential, then once this kid develops the skills of self-hosting offense, he will definitely become the top three small forwards in the future! ”
Old Nelson nodded with satisfaction, Hill's vision was very good, and he had a similar evaluation of George.
George didn't know what the old man said about him, in his heart, his own table was still relatively bad, so he played to his strengths and avoided his weaknesses, and worked hard to show his face on the defensive end, from Curry to Evans, this guy has a pair of steel and iron bones, and he doesn't suffer from the inside.
