Chapter 77: The Rebounding Idiot

There's a saying in American culture that success requires good teammates, and great success requires strong opponents.

Durant used the opening first quarter to prove to the Warriors that he is worthy of being a great opponent to Chamberlain, and now it is Chamberlain's turn to prove to the SuperSonics that he is also worthy of being Durant's opponent.

The SuperSonics gave the Warriors a slap in the face with a hearty start, and while the opponents were strong, it was clear that the team did not raise the white flag, including their head coach Carsimo, who was full of ambition to beat the Warriors, and they put their ideas into practice, and it worked well.

At the beginning of the second quarter, Carsimo made a substitution, and the two backcourt tricks were substituted, and Jeff Green and Delonte West, who were acquired from the Celtics, came on.

Carsimo's tactics are somewhat similar to those of the Spurs, and of course, given the Spurs' impressive record over the years, teams across the league are learning from them. Popovich pressed Ginobili on the bench and gave the opponent a fatal blow at the critical moment, Carsimo was even more ruthless, he directly put all the outside main forces on the shelf, Green and West are the heavy generals that the SuperSonics can deploy in the backyard.

This arrangement has proved to be very effective, in the early stage, Durant first exerted his strength, and he was the main attacker, when Durant's firepower dropped, Green and West, the two big generals, could come on the court, take over the gun in Durant's hand, and continue to maintain the team's strong firepower.

As soon as the opening stanza began, Durant drew the opponent to the trap and passed the ball to West. West's physical fitness is strong, and his scoring methods are diverse, but it's a pity that his personality is too rebellious, and he belongs to the kind of weird guy who can't be controlled by anyone, and his blame is because he has mental illness, not the sane weirdness of Rodman, Birdman Anderson, and Madman Sprewell.

When he got the ball, West was not polite, and in the face of Louis Williamson's defense, he ran inside at full speed, making it clear that he wanted to directly invade the interior to attack the Warriors' hoop.

This thought made Durant gasp, buddy, I really don't know whether to praise you for your courage or laugh at your brain-dead, Chamberlain's kind of defensive pervert sits on the inside of the Warriors, and you dare to rush inside?

Durant is a smart guy with a high ball quotient, he doesn't dare to face the conflict Chamberlain, it's not that he doesn't have a big heart to challenge, or he overestimates Chamberlain's ability, West proved it, he broke through Luis's defense and stepped on the edge of the box, and Chamberlain's huge body enveloped him.

West twisted his knee, pulled the ball back with his left hand, and quickly pushed forward his right shoulder, starting to get past Chamberlain, but the latter's deft little pad stepped back and locked West in his defensive circle.

Until he rushed into the penalty area, West couldn't get rid of Chamberlain, and in desperation, he had to throw his hand at will.

Chamberlain jumped up to interfere, the ball hit the hoop, Wilcox quickly jumped up, raised his hands to take the ball off, but he jumped, a fighter flew up on the flank, Chamberlain quickly took off the second jump, and picked up the rebound in front of Wilcox.

Luis dribbled the ball quickly, Chamberlain and others followed, and Green teamed up with Durant early to enter the Warriors' free throw area and curb the Warriors' fast break.

Ellis ran out of the open space, Luis did not hesitate, immediately passed the ball to him, and then Ellis shot quickly, and the iron was hit with a 'bang'.

Durant turned and cut inside, wanting to grab the rebound first, Chamberlain strode in, just two steps away from the free throw area, he shouted angrily and rose to the sky, his right arm crossed the chest and hit Durant to squeeze him away, his left arm was raised high, his big hand was spread five fingers, and he grabbed the ball down.

After landing, Chamberlain's feet stepped on the floor heavily, his lower abdomen was slightly tightened, and the calf muscles tightened, like a burning engine, which provided Chamberlain with a steady stream of power, soaring into the sky, like an eagle spreading its wings, and its body flew into the air as soon as it stood up, grabbed the ball with one hand and smashed the hoop angrily, and came to a violent one-handed heavy buckle.

Durant's body is indeed thin, Chamberlain squeezed him in the air and knocked him over, he was disgraced in the group of reporters under the basket, Chamberlain pulled him up after he landed, and said with a teasing smile: "Man, you'd better stay away from me, I'm thinking about your career, God knows I'm not lying." ”

The brave play in the first quarter made Durant play with confidence, and the scene of Chamberlain knocking him over made him feel embarrassed, and he laughed at him later, so he turned around and asked for the ball to prepare for a single, and the target was Chamberlain.

I don't know that West doesn't pee on him at all, and it's not just Durant who feels like a big loss of face, but Uncle West is also like this. This guy is a high-minded master, of course, he also has this capital purely in terms of attacking ability, since being used as a bargaining chip by the Celtics in exchange for Ray Allen, he feels that he is injured, and he urgently needs a crazy play to prove his name and make the Celtics regret it.

The Warriors, who have been in the limelight lately, are undoubtedly such a good opponent, and this game also gave him an opportunity.

Therefore, although Durant stretched out his hand to ask for the ball, he still stubbornly chose to shoot: long shot, hit iron!

Chamberlain was waiting for Durant in the restricted area, and in order to prevent the impact of the opponent, he kept Wilcox firmly behind him, so the rebound was grabbed easily and taken off directly.

Luis is a traditional point guard, but because he has never been teammates with a strong center during his high school years and the 76ers, he has not been very good at passing the ball for the inside, and this time he chose to make his own strong penetration, and passed the ball to Petrus after getting close to the box.

Petrus knew that Chamberlain was powerful, and after getting the ball, he wanted to pass it to the other party urgently, not only did he know this, but Durant also knew that the latter had been paying attention to the movement of the ball, and after Petrus got the ball, he first pretended to imitate, and when the other party put away the ball, he immediately retreated and jumped back to steal.

Durant's quick reaction shocked Petrus, and the passing force was subconsciously raised, and the ball flew high and hit the rebound directly.

Wilcox was trying to fight Chamberlain for position, and the moment the basketball flew into the air, he could tell that the ball was high, and he was about to pick up the rebound as soon as he was short.

Chamberlain judged more accurately at this point, the ball just flew to the highest point and did not hit the rebound, he bent his legs and jumped high, the opportunity was fleeting, the basketball hit the rebound and then rebounded, Chamberlain received the rebound with both hands and waved his hand down, and came to a tough dunk with lightning speed.

The dunk was so brilliant that the key arena erupted in enthusiastic applause and exclamations, and the home fans, who were bent on boycotting the SuperSonics, gave Chamberlain enthusiastic cheers.

Seeing Chamberlain showing such a crazy determination to compete, Carsimo was in a hurry, and he jumped to his feet and yelled at Wilcox: "Jam him, jam him, stupid! Don't let him jump up easily and stop that rookie on the defensive end! With that, he turned to Collison and continued yelling, "Go help him, wrap that rookie, turn him into a sandwich cookie, turn him into a hot chicken sandwich!" ”

Being scolded by Carsimo, Wilcox and Collison felt uncomfortable, if they didn't do anything, but everyone knew that they had been trying to restrain Chamberlain since the opening, and the first energy saving made the latter a point, they had done their best, and now that the physical strength of the two has declined, how can they still strangle Chamberlain?

Carsimo didn't care, he roared relentlessly, Wilcox and Collison glanced at each other, and a sentence came to their minds: U-CAN-U-UP, NO-CAN-NO-BB!

Chamberlain is playing more and more cheerfully, after the switch of offense and defense, West has to go it alone again, Green can't help it now, although he is a kind person, but after all, he was also a potential new star in the lottery area, and he was angry to see that Durant is now being praised as a super king by the SuperSonics and he is being sent back and forth like a package.

Green held the ball, and in the face of the relatively thin Barnes, he did not hesitate to launch a back-to-back shot, hitting the opponent twice in a row and turning and jumping.

Back body singles is a skill, and now Kobe can play, and the others are drizzle. In particular, Barnes defended well, although he was knocked away by Green, but as soon as he jumped, Barnes immediately blocked and interfered with the ball out of the frame.

Carsimo warned that Collison and Wilcox were about to clamp Chamberlain up when they went up, but at this time, Chamberlain's accumulation was like a beast out of the gate, how could he be restricted?

First, he suddenly turned around and hit Wilcox, who is also a physical fitness stream, with his ass, and then he and Collison jumped at the same time, the latter's bounce, bounce speed and arm span are much worse than Chamberlain, the key is that the golden position of grabbing rebounds is occupied by Chamberlain, and there is no suspense in rebounding.

Seeing Chamberlain even grabbing rebounds, Carsimo's hateful face changed, and he waved his hand angrily and roared: "Damn it, is it so fucking hard to grab a rebound?" ”

Before he could finish his sentence, Chamberlain threw the ball to Ellis, who led his teammates all the way to the frontcourt, only to make a pull-up jump shot that fooled the Warriors' players and opponents.

The ball went in and Ellis once again showed his nerve knife potential.

Durant finally went it alone with the ball, and Barnes switched defenses and chased after Durant, who had no choice but to pass the ball to West. After West got the ball, he instantly picked up speed, passed Louis in one step, rushed into the interior and rode up to Chamberlain, who was entangled with Wilcox.

"it!" Chamberlain turned around and greeted him, his speed was like the wind, aggression was like fire, West grabbed the ball with one hand and pressed down with one hand to hold Chamberlain with a brutal heavy buckle, Chamberlain laughed angrily, he really couldn't figure out how there could be such a stupid person in this world!

The two collided, like Mars hitting the earth, with a muffled sound, Chamberlain jumped up in front of West, slapped his big hand on the basketball like a fly swatter, and slammed the ball and flew out!

West's grizzled face was covered and he got up and looked hideous about settling accounts with Chamberlain, who didn't look at him at all, and ran down with Louis, who had grabbed the ball.

This time the inside pass didn't require awareness and skill, and Luis was not afraid of Green's defense, running into the box and throwing the ball towards the rebound.

"Bang-boom!"

First, there was a crisp sound of the basketball hitting the rebound and rebounding back, Chamberlain was like a sword, grabbing the rebounding basketball with both hands, the muscles of the whole body were full and up, and a small two-handed windmill slam dunk came magnificently.
