Chapter 540: Hi, Rookie
After the Thunder players came out, the Warriors players began to enter, and the atmosphere of the court directly raised a level, if just now the soldering iron was thrown into the water, then now it is the Rocky Mountain falling into the Pacific Ocean!
One player trotted out of the game, and when Chamberlain finally began to enter, nearly 20,000 fans stood up and shouted, "MVP!" Take us to the finals! β
Chamberlain opened his arms like a glider, but instead of running into the field, he high-fived the fans on both sides of the aisle as much as possible, and a sexy and beautiful blonde female fan pulled up a T-shirt to reveal a snow-white flat abdomen, with a line written in oil paint: "Z, let me give you a baby!" β
In the second row, fans with the Warriors logo on their faces held up their own DIY letters, each holding up a letter, which together is one sentence: goal, championship!
Chamberlain ran sideways onto the pitch and greeted the fans with fists in his hands, thanking the fans for their support in the gesture of an ancient chivalrous man, and the fans responded in the same gesture as they thanked Chamberlain, who led the rise of their beloved team.
As Chamberlain hugged his fist in front of the fans, the fans' emotions were mobilized to the sky, and before the game began, waves of sound and cheers had poured into the stadium.
The large screen above the court shows a sound tester, and the camera is facing the tester, so the number jΓΉ on it is displayed in the field of vision of the fans, from the beginning of the entry of the Warriors players, the number of testers continues to soar, and when Chamberlain clenched his fists, the tester showed that the volume in the arena directly reached a terrifying 112 decibels!
We know that the decibel is the unit of judging the size of the sound, according to the general classification, it is 30 decibels when people whisper softly, 60 decibels when they talk in general, 80 to 90 decibels when they are loud and noisy, 100 decibels when trains and tractors, and 130 decibels when guns are fired and planes take off.
In the process of noise-induced disease, 90 decibels is a clear hurdle, and most people will have adverse effects after exceeding 90 decibels, such as the sudden appearance of 100 decibel noise may even cause instant eardrum perforation and hearing loss.
But now the volume in the Oracle Arena has exceeded 100 decibels in a row, and the strongest time has exceeded 110 decibels, for children, this environment is extremely unsuitable, parents cover their children's ears with their hands, and their mouths are still cheering, this is the home atmosphere of the Warriors!
The Warriors' home court is now known as the league's No. 1 devil's home court, and even the Cavaliers, who are nearly undefeated this season, can't match it.
The Thunder players were even more surprised, they had only been in Oklahoma City for less than a year, and despite playing well, the fans did not identify with them very much, they had never experienced such a crazy home game, and for them, it was incredible.
Under such a decibel level, the players had to shout loudly to talk to each other, and the old Nelson arranged tactics and directly took a small horn.
Before the start of the game, Chamberlain went to find Durant first, and he yelled: "Hey, rookie, welcome to Oakland!" Welcome to the playoffs! Enjoy our gifts, I bet you'll never forget this series for the rest of your life! β
Durant likewise yelled, "Come on, kid, let's see who can have the last laugh!" β
Chamberlain and Little Jordan stood on the halfway line, no need to hide it anymore, both sides came up with a lineup at the bottom of the box, the strongest lineup, introduced!
The Thunder are: center Jordan Jr., power forward Collisson, small forward Prince, playmaking guard Westbrook, and scoring guard Durant.
The Warriors' starters are, Chamberlain + Ibaka + Jackson + Billups + Iverson.
In the playoffs, the old Nelson wanted to put West in the starting lineup, but unfortunately, it couldn't be against the Thunder, because their average height was too high, and Durant's guy could play center, but he played a point guard, so he had to have a big outside lineup.
The referee threw the ball up, Chamberlain and Jordan Jr. were waiting for this moment with their heads up, and when the ball flew to the highest point, the two seven-foot men suddenly stomped on the floor and jumped up at the same time, Chamberlain's bounce speed helped him a lot, his height was about the same as his arm span, and when he jumped at the same time, he took the lead in giving the racket to Iverson.
Iverson received the ball like a viper waiting to hunt, his body shrank back like a longbow, and flew out with a whistling, Westbrook kept staring at him, but in the blink of an eye, his opponent had already flown away.
Westbrook's speed is also a strong point, he immediately moved his legs to chase forward, Iverson had no expression on his face, he only had one thing in his eyes, the hoop!
Flying out, Iverson interpreted the meaning of the sentence with an indomitable momentum that there is no turning back arrow, Westbrook chased after him and wanted to stop him, but Iverson twisted his waist and changed direction at the same time, he really turned into a poisonous snake at this moment, his body almost twisted past Westbrook, and still rushed to the penalty area at an unabated speed.
Prince squeezed up, Iverson let out a clear whistle in his throat, he stepped into the free throw area three steps, step by step into lightning, Prince and he had already started to jump when he was in front of him, and after jumping, he turned around and looked behind, and Chamberlain, who came up, made the Thunder team change a lot, but Iverson did not pass the ball, but grabbed the ball with one hand and threw it.
Hit!
After Iverson landed, he collided with Westbrook, who was chasing after him, and he directly gave the opponent a backhand, yelling: "Rookie, be careful of your ankles!" β
Westbrook, who was also of temperament, roared loudly, "Old fellow, you better watch yourself!" β
As the most explosive playmaker in the past decade, Westbrook is known as the trumpet LeBron, only a first-year year, he already has the skeleton of a superstar, speed and power coexist when he runs with the ball, Iverson went up and pressed and was hit by him and then shook off with speed, seeing this AI knows how to defend, he no longer presses for steals, but leaves space, so that the other party always feels that he has a way out, he lets Westbrook take the main attack.
Iverson's provocation just now made Westbrook feel that his dignity was damaged, and he was full of disbelief, but Iverson's defense was full of holes, which surprised him, so although Durant stretched out his hand to want the ball, Westbrook did not pass the ball, but launched his own breakthrough.
When Westbrook picked up speed to get to the three-point line, Billups immediately shook off his former teammate Prince and went from behind to trap the former.
Iverson and Billups closed the door, Westbrook tried to break through with brute force, but Ibaka also rushed up, and he had to pass the ball, otherwise it would be a dead ball!
After Prince got the ball, Billups immediately followed, he was too familiar with this former teammate, although he was 2.06 meters tall, but because of his thin body, Prince's confrontation ability on the offensive end was very average, Billups was confident that he could carry him, and his offense relied more on the outside shot.
It's a good three-point shooter, but Billups also knows that as long as the interference is strong enough, Prince's shooting is shaky, and he is the kind of outside shooter who is less able to withstand pressure. Therefore, Billups defended Prince, using pressing tactics and never giving the opponent a chance to shoot. Prince is tall and has long arms, and his shots rely on height to press the opponent, and Billups presses so that he can't shoot, but chooses to break through, and Billups is so close to him that he can pass the opponent in one step.
Prince's breakthrough is not bad, but because of the level of ball control, he usually chooses to break through the basket after entering the basket, and his backframe singles ability is too poor, so even if he eats the inside line, he still has to divide the ball when Chamberlain comes up to make up for it.
Prince passes to Collison, who is facing Chamberlain, who simply doesn't have the courage to shoot and passes the ball to Durant.
In this way, there were already three passes, and the ball was once again transferred from the inside to the outside, and the farther away from the hoop was shifted, and in the face of the hard-nosed Warriors defensively, the young Thunder youngsters hit a wall in the first round of tentative offense.
Chamberlain showed the shock of the best defensive player in the playoffs, he stood alone on the top arc of the restricted area, the entire range within the three-point line was his air defense zone, his legs moved quickly, his body moved in several positions continuously, Durant had to retreat after passing Jackson with speed, and Chamberlain was eyeing it.
Jordan Jr. squeezed hard to the inside line, he and Ibaka stood together, for the latter, Jordan Jr. hated it, he always thought that Ibaka robbed him of the opportunity to enter the Warriors, so today he held his breath and wanted to teach Ibaka a lesson, but there is a problem, Ibaka has been practicing basic skills since he entered the NBA, and the old Nelson hopes that he can play steadily, so although he has not played dazzling numbers this season, he has actually grown a lot, made great progress, and walked very solidly.
Ibaka accurately predicts the opponent's position, and he can always get stuck in a good position before Jordan Jr., who feels like he has pushed Ibaka away several times, but he just can't get into the position he likes.
Another inside Collison is even worse, and he is Chamberlain, not only did he not have the opportunity to step into the three-second zone, but he was also squeezed back again and again, and the dignified inside player has already run to the outside.
Seeing that the offensive time was coming, the Thunder team was in a hurry, but the Warriors' defense was leaky, they really had no good chance to shoot, Durant could only forcibly take over the ball, he yelled at Prince: "Man, give it to me!" β
Prince passed, Durant looked up at the time of the moment he received it, 21 seconds had passed, he didn't have time to hesitate, and immediately staggered his feet to make a change of direction, regardless of whether he shook off Jackson or not, he took two steps into the three-point line, and then braked his body and jumped up.
After he made a move, the beep also sounded, and the sound of striking iron also sounded.
No way, Durant shot in too haste, it's a bomb ball!
Chamberlain turned around and grabbed the ball, he threw it to Billups, and then strode up, Iverson rode the dust, although there was no ball in his hand, he still rushed directly to the basket, still with the momentum of smashing the Yellow Dragon, a fierce mess!
Some people are made specifically for the playoffs, like the Spurs' GDP, like Iverson now.
Westbrook didn't dare to let Iverson take a step, Billups' pass was known for being steady and ruthless, and sure enough, even though he defended so urgently, Billups passed the ball to Iverson when he ran into the box.
"Don't think!" Westbrook gritted his teeth and shouted.
Iverson picked a sneer at the corner of his mouth, he received the ball and made a turn, and then dribbled the ball forward and backward in the penalty area, dodging left and right. Westbrook subconsciously ran after him, he felt that he should not have defended Iverson yet, why didn't he attack the hoop?
Because someone followed up behind, Iverson kept tearing apart the Thunder's defense, and finally he attracted the opponent's bag, Chamberlain came in from the middle, Iverson threw the ball forward and threw it directly into Chamberlain's chest.
Little Jordan's pupils shrank and hurriedly stepped forward to jam the position, but Chamberlain's waist twisted like a spinning top and turned around, Little Jordan flashed in front of his eyes, and the other party had disappeared, and the next time he appeared was behind him, standing up with one arm and dunking it violently!
