Chapter 403: Phoenix Sunset Team
Hit's return comforted Chamberlain's heart because of Doug's death, he had been waiting for this day, but this day appeared a little late, originally Chamberlain was hoping to find Hitt and then contact Doug, so that Hit's reason, Doug would return to the United States.
Unfortunately, the trees were quiet and the wind did not stop, and by the time he found Hit, Doug could no longer see him.
Doug's death was a blow to Hit, but it was also an opportunity to grow, and he became much more mature overnight, although he was the same age as Bruce and Michael, but when the three of them were together, his speech and demeanor were more mature, of course, this was also related to the immaturity of these two birdmen.
Chamberlain's protection made the two teenagers active, they organized basketball games in the school, organized baseball games and also organized cheerleading girl tryouts, the former St. Lawrence High School was very poor in sports, Doug only attended this school for two months and then was snatched away by San Francisco basketball school Black Bay Middle School, Chamberlain was diagnosed with gigantism as soon as he entered junior high school and left the court, so their basketball has never been strong, and naturally no beautiful girl is willing to be a cheerleader.
With the addition of Michael and Bruce, everything has changed, the appearance of the two has directly increased the strength of the St. Lawrence High School basketball team hundreds of times, the California Middle School Basketball Championship is about to start in mid-November, and five warm-up games have been played before, in the warm-up games, the two brothers formed an incomparable backcourt double gun, averaging 68 points, 22 rebounds and 10 steals per game, and the opponent has no backhand.
Now Michael and Bruce are the number four and number five in St. Lawrence Middle School, the first is Chamberlain, the principal, the second is the goddess of all boys, Shirley is now the goddess of all men, the third is Shirley, the fifth and sixth are the two of them, and as for the seventh, it is the doll.
In a good mood, Chamberlain's strength played even better, and the first unlucky one was the Suns.
The Suns entered the NBA in 1968 and had a very unsuccessful first season, with only 16 wins and 66 losses. The Suns went on to rise in strength from then on, and in the 1988-1989 season, the Suns went 55-27 and became the first team to win four awards: Best Coach, Best Sixth Man, Most Improved Player, and Best Management. In both the 1994 and 1995 seasons, the Suns were favorites to win the championship, but both were eliminated in the second round by the later champions, the Rockets.
Since then, the Suns have been constantly changing, and in 2003 the Suns drafted high school student Amare Stoudemire, who formed a strong roster with Steve Nash and Sean Marion, and the Suns were the favorites for several seasons to win. However, in the second half of last season, the Suns sent Marion from the troika and replaced him with O'Neal, the big shark.
The Suns management is actually very smart on the whole, but they made a fool of O'Neal's trade, can O'Neal and Nash coexist? Can positional warfare and shelling coexist? The former used to be the NBA's No. 1 positional battle master, and the latter is now the grandmaster of the NBA's running and bombing battle.
In last season's playoffs, the Suns didn't even make it to the second round, the first time in several seasons, which shows how much they have been reduced.
Originally, Chamberlain was still quite afraid of the Suns, Nash was too good at running with these people, and their shooting percentage was high, and the Grizzlies in the first three quarters of the last game were the Suns in the full-court state. Fortunately, the Suns' uniform team abandoned their martial arts, and they killed Marion, a fierce running and shooting master, in exchange for O'Neal, who restrained Nash and had a serious decline in his own combat effectiveness.
The Suns fielded the starting lineup with center O'Neal, power forward Stoudemire, small forward Grant Hill, playmaking guard Nash, and scoring guard Delan Goladzic.
The Warriors' starting lineup is: center Evans, power forward Chamberlain, small forward Jackson, playmaking guard Billups, and shooting guard West.
For this lineup, not to mention the opponent, the Warriors were greatly surprised, and Curry dared to ask: "Z is not very suitable to play power forward, right?" Wouldn't he have made his opponents happy when he left the box? ”
Old Nelson had his own considerations: "O'Neill is no longer the big shark, he is now a big whale, he looks bigger but has much less lethality, and Evans can deal with him." On the contrary, the little Stoudemire guy is more threatening, and letting Z deal with him will definitely make him want to cry without tears! As for the exclusion zone? Oh, O'Neill and Evans will block their access to the box from the outside. ”
West kept nodding, but his eyes were fixed on a spot in the row behind the Suns' bench, where a tall girl was looking down on her phone, and occasionally the girl glanced in the direction of the Warriors, and was frightened by West's wolf-eyed eyes.
Billups knew that this guy was looking at Wei Shengmei, who was Robin Lopez's girlfriend, and West fell in love with him at first sight, and he chased her all summer, but it seemed to have little effect, at least Wei Shengmei was still sitting behind Robin Lopez.
In fact, Robin Lopez is angry now, he obviously feels the estrangement between his girlfriend and himself, and every time he asks for pleasure these days, he will encounter Wei Shengmei's rejection, and the two even get together less and leave more. In addition, since the beginning of this season, Wei Shengmei has not come to the West Jersey Arena to watch the game except for the opening game, but today she came, and the opponent of the Suns is the Warriors with West, which can't help but make Lopez think about something.
West stared at Wei Shengmei viciously, and Lopez stared at West viciously, he really wanted to teach this guy a lesson, but he was a substitute, and the opponent was a starter, so he could only watch the opponent stand on the court and he was still sitting on the bench.
Billups fell in love with the court, West was still looking at Wei Shengmei, so he pushed him and said, "Boy, don't drop the chain, it's a game!" ”
West didn't care and said, "Don't worry, Chauncey, I will definitely behave well today, believe me, the European on the other side is going to be unlucky!" ”
At the opening whistle, Chamberlain jumped the ball and suppressed Xiao Si and slapped it to Billups, Xiao Si's bouncing arm span was excellent, but Chamberlain was happy when he saw him, and he was more handy than fighting Warcraft, this guy's defense of Chamberlain may be one of the worst in the league.
This is also one of the reasons why the Suns' uniform team traded for O'Neal, they knew that the Shark's form was declining so much that they didn't want to rely on him to attack, but to use him to defend Chamberlain.
O'Neal is unruly and arrogant, he has regarded himself as the core since he came to the Suns, and the defense is usually very negative in the game, otherwise the strength of the Suns will not decline so much: O'Neal's size As long as he wants to defend, then he will not dare to break through easily when he stands in the restricted area.
But today O'Neill is very motivated, just like Chamberlain is very energetic in playing Xiaosi, and he is also very energetic in playing Chamberlain.
As soon as the latter landed in the penalty area, he went up and muttered: "Rookie, some people say that you are the current No. 1 center?" That's all, come on boy, let me see if you, the number one center, are worthy of the name, Lao Tzu will teach you a lesson, and let you know what the first center is. ”
Chamberlain originally admired O'Neill, but he really couldn't agree with his character, and couldn't help but respond: "You're fucking retiring, and you think you're twenty-five years old this year?" Just serve the old honestly, otherwise you will be beaten and cried by me, don't say that I won't give you face! ”
Nash is known for his poor defense in the league, and Billups can break him directly, but instead of doing so, he passes the ball to Chamberlain and lets the latter deal with O'Neal.
The first ball was about morale, and Billups was bullied by O'Neal so badly that he couldn't wait to see him cleaned up.
Chamberlain received the ball and pushed it hard, O'Neill was ready to grit his teeth against his back, a strong force surging like a tide, the big shark who liked to ride the wind and waves in the sea in the early years gave birth to a feeling of weakness, and he used his strength to carry Chamberlain, which made him can't help but feel that he is indeed old.
But fortunately, O'Neill carried Chamberlain, so he opened his mouth and roared: "This is your trick?" That's all you need? Ha, my grandmother's strength is greater than yours, and you pushed me...... Oh, shit!"
After Chamberlain's two consecutive hits, he took the ball with his right hand and the sole of his right foot rubbed the floor fiercely, his sturdy body flew like a dragon, and he bypassed O'Neal and rushed to the basket with a flick of his shoulder, O'Neal didn't expect the opponent to break through and turn so fast, he only felt a gust of wind blowing in his face, and the other party had bypassed him.
O'Neal hurriedly stepped back, and Chamberlain walked around him and put away the ball in two big strides in a row, and grabbed the ball with one hand with both legs to pick up the block.
The big shark followed, stomping on the ground with a loud shout, and its huge body flew up like a column of rockets.
But Chamberlain didn't jump, he just made a feint, and after fooling O'Neill, he withdrew his raised arm and turned again, jumping high around the block of O'Neill's body, and with a soft flick of his wrist, he sent the ball out.
Seeing that there was no one in front of him, O'Neal's heart was cold, but fortunately, there was a crisp sound of basketball playing board, he thought that Chamberlain was beating iron and turned his head in surprise to grab the rebound, but a scene that made him even more sad happened, the basketball rebounded and fell into the hoop accurately - people deliberately hit the board.
The Suns attacked, and the Warriors were worried about their run, so when Chamberlain hooked his hand, he immediately ran backwards, but they were all in position for a long time before Nash slowly ran over with the ball: no way, O'Neal is slow, he has to wait for the sharks to run to the restricted area.
Chamberlain waited impatiently and shouted to O'Neill, "Are you coming here in wheelchairs?" I'm impatient to wait, at your speed, don't call the Suns team the Sunset team! ”
O'Neill was overwhelmed with grief and indignation, and he yelled, "Don't deceive people too much! ”
Billups glanced at him and sneered, "Did you ever think that you were also deceiving people too much when you called the Kings the queen team?" Shaq, you realize, this is the NBA, not a nursing home, if you want to get the humility of the younger generation, then you should go to the Japanese basketball court. ”
In the 2001 Western Conference Finals, the Lakers took advantage of the Kings' poor state to beat them, and in that game, Divac couldn't restrain the strong O'Neal at all, and was dizzy by him, O'Neal taunted the Kings after the game, saying, 'You guys are so soft and so motherly, don't call the Kings the Queens'.
Ten years in Hedong and ten years in Hexi, this time it was the turn of others to laugh at him, O'Neill didn't mention how depressed he was.
was about to vent his frustration, O'Neal stuck with Evans and reached out to Nash for the ball, Nash wanted to block and dismantle with Xiao Si, but Chamberlain was following Xiao Si, where is the domineering of the little bully who shrinks his hands? Just change the name to Little Sissy Cannon and forget it.
As a result, Nash can only pass the ball to O'Neal, who faces the nobody, Evans, and the goal should be easy.
Indeed, for the pinnacle O'Neal, Evans' height, strength and agility are not as good as his own small role. But now the situation is different, O'Neill is old, too fat, and no longer the flexibility of the peak, so he can only rely on strength to eat.
And Evans is different, Evans deliberately gained weight and training strength in the summer, although the whole person is not tall, he is strong and burly, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is a devil muscleman.
O'Neal didn't get away from Evans with two consecutive hits, just found a little gap, and he tried to get through it, but as soon as he took a step, Evans followed: the shark was not as fast as before, and he could keep up.
In a fit of rage, O'Neal simply stopped keeping his back hand, he stepped under the basket and put away the ball, like a tiger killing a flock of sheep, only to see him frantically turn around, back bump, shoulder people, Evans finally couldn't eat it and had to retreat.
Knocked Evans away, O'Neal roared and grabbed the ball with both hands and smashed it into the basket, at this time a louder shout sounded behind him, he raised his arms to dunk, but a strong force appeared on the basketball between his hands, and then his wrist was weak and he could no longer grasp the ball, and the orange ball flew out of his hand like a cannonball!
Chamberlain's figure and O'Neill's figure complemented each other at this moment, completely obscuring the domineering figure of the big shark.
