Chapter 980: Where Has All the Time Gone
Anyone can see the anger of the old coach, five up and five down, and when the team was about to organize a counterattack, the old Nelson once again showed the toughness of an old tyrant in front of the fans, so that the fans understood that this old guy who likes to sit on a chair and smile was actually once known as the first irascible man in the NBA.
Chamberlain and the others knew that the old man was sick, so they didn't mess with him, and they didn't feel good about losing the game, after all, it was eighteen consecutive wins, which was the longest winning streak in the history of the Warriors, and they were naturally unwilling to be ended like this.
After the game, Chamberlain, Nowitzki, Kidd, and Butler hugged twice and went back to the locker room, knowing that there was a bloody storm brewing in the locker room.
Sure enough, the old man couldn't wait to go to the press conference, and when he entered the locker room, he began to roar: "Look, look at what **** thing you guys are playing today?" Aside from the damn first verse, what are you all doing in the end? The team gives you tens of millions of annual salaries, ****** you sleepwalk on the field? ”
"Who are our opponents? Southwest Mighty Mavericks! I went to ****** Southwest Haoqiang, this bad team has never even made it to the finals, and it deserves to be called Haoqiang? In the past few seasons, we have not lost to them in the regular season or the playoffs, and they deserve to be called a strong team in front of us? ”
"But why, why are you fighting so badly today? What is the reason? Come on, get up and speak for me one by one, talk about your feelings, Z, start with you! ”
The old man snapped the tactical pen and finally threw it to Chamberlain for him to deal with.
Chamberlain rubbed his nose and said, "I'm going to review, as the person who took the most money on the team, as the person most trusted by my teammates, I only scored, uh, 27 points and 12 rebounds today...... Well, it's a two-fold thing, number one, the Mavericks' interior defense is really good, and Chandler's guy was pretty successful with my defense......"
"Successful fart! You don't have to divide it into two or three aspects, bastard, you just give me a problem from yourself, are you proud and arrogant, and you feel that you are awesome and don't take your opponent seriously? Old Nelson listened to Chamberlain's analysis and jumped to his feet and got angry.
Chamberlain was helpless and muttered in a low voice: "Didn't you ask me to do the post-game analysis......"
"Have you learned to talk back? You shut up, who's the second?! ”
Everyone lowered their heads in silence, and at this time, whoever was the first bird was going to be shot, but West looked left and right, and he raised his hand weakly.
This was a bit unexpected by old Nelson, there were still people who took the initiative to take responsibility, it seems that these boys have made great progress, so his expression slowed down, looked at West and said, "What do you have to say?" Delonti. ”
West stood up in fear, grinned and gasped, and said, "BOSS, if I said that I raised my hand to ask for leave to go to the bathroom, would you ......?"
"Squat on the ground for me! If you can't hold it back, pull it in your crotch! Old Nelson roared hoarsely.
"What is the reason?"
Curry was kicked out by a bunch of bad birds like Jackson and Barnes, and he analyzed the game from the aspects of determination, confidence, and tacit understanding with a sad face, and finally analyzed the lineup and came to the conclusion: They are now porous on the outside, and there are too few guards who can be used, especially the kind of people who can use the breakthrough to attack the hoop, strictly speaking, there are only two West and Carter, and Curry plus Iverson can barely count one.
The Warriors also spotted the problem and began figuring out the right guard for them across the league.
"This defender, one, has to be relatively strong in breaking through and passing, otherwise it is useless to ask him to come; Second, the price can't be too high, the team will give Chamberlain a top big contract next season; Third, you can't take up too much playing time, because Curry and George are also on the guard line, and the two are the focus of training......"
After the Warriors opened these conditions, they were stunned to find that there is no such person in the NBA, in fact, even if they can't get it, the current Warriors roster is not enough for the fifteen-man squad, so they can't exchange players, they can only trade exceptions or draft picks, and other teams are not short of this thing, and they are guarding the Warriors like thieves.
While the Warriors were busy reinforcing themselves, time passed quietly, and the first month of 2011 was coming to an end.
The NBA officially announced the results of the third phase of the 2011 All-Star Game, and "Warcraft" Dwight Howard is the Eastern vote king, and the total vote king is naturally Chamberlain.
Chamberlain had led the league in the first two phases of voting, so the result was not a surprise.
Excluding Chamberlain, Kobe Bryant received the most votes in the West, and along with Kobe Bryant, it was Chris Paul who led the Western Conference guard with 724605 votes.
Durant, who finished second among Western Conference forwards with 945944 votes, was named to the NBA's All-America First Team last season and proved himself worthy of the league's No. 1 title at the World Championships in the summer.
In this way, the forwards in the West are very helpless, Chamberlain is here to grab food, Durant is born again, and the two kings of the 2007 class monopolize these two positions.
In fact, the West is the most competitive group of forwards, with Anthony, Gasol, Randolph, Duncan, Nowitzki, ...... One of these people is one, and they can carry a piece of the sky in a team, but in the West, they can only come off the bench.
In the position of the center of the west, Yao Ming, who has monopolized the top of the list for the past eight years, finally left the throne, probably because of Chamberlain and Yi Jianlian, Yao Ming's influence in the Chinese world has decreased sharply, the vote king of the center in the west is Oden, ranking first with 754,583 votes, and Yao Ming is second with 693,237 votes.
In the East, the highest number of votes was Dwight Howard (1,205,159) from the Magic, and in second place at center was Celtics center "Big Shark" O'Neal (506,621).
"Little Emperor" LeBron James has 1,194,091 votes, ranking first among Eastern forwards, but the number of votes has not been in the top three in the league, the summer transfer will have a big impact on his fame, the NBA is not Hollywood after all, here fans are more admired by the kind of real tough guy who shoulders morality, James left Cleveland, it really looks a bit like a coward's escape.
In second place at the forward position is the Celtics' Garnett (850,687), and the competition for the guard line is also very fierce, the Heat's Wade (1,167,649) and the Celtics' Rondo (929,781) are the top two guards in the East, and the Bulls' star Derrick Rose has 917,753 votes, only 12,028 votes behind the second-ranked Rondo, and there is still a lot of suspense about who will be the starting guard in the East.
This year's All-Star is held in Oakland, and the Warriors are the owner, so fans naturally want to see more home team stars, but the competition in the West is too fierce, West, Carter, and Curry are all very good, but they definitely can't play with Chamberlain as a starter.
After losing to the Mavericks, the Warriors flew to the East for two away trips, easily eliminating the Pistons and Timberwolves.
The Timberwolves have been in the spotlight this season because their core Love has grown so fast.
Looking at Lefou's three seasons, the number has risen like a rocket -- the rookie season averaged 11 per game. 1 point 9. 1 rebound, 14 points and 11 rebounds in the second season, 21 points and 15 points so far this season. 6 rebounds, especially 15 per game. The staggering number of 6 rebounds earned him the nickname 'Copycat Chamberlain'.
The biggest highlight of Lefou's season was an astonishing 31 points and 31 rebounds against the Knicks in November last year, becoming the only two active players who can score 30+30, and the other is naturally Chamberlain, such as "Big Shark" O'Neal and "Warcraft" Howard, who can only be expected.
Love has a good number this season, but the Timberwolves have a bad record, which makes Chamberlain look down on him, when Garnett was in the Timberwolves, he really didn't bring this team to any historical heights, but this team is indeed a lion powerhouse.
Now Lefu is not inferior to Garnett in the Timberwolves era in terms of numbers, but in terms of ability, Chamberlain feels that it is far behind.
The Timberwolves of the Garnett era, that was indeed a pack of wolves, now? Just like their name, the Timberwolves, they are a bunch of wooden wolves, which look quite scary, and that's how it goes.
The Warriors' battle with the Timberwolves made LeFou's popularity plummet, Chamberlain cut a terrifying number of 41 points and 22 rebounds above his head, while Lefu only had 12 points and 10 rebounds, and Chamberlain also covered him with a total of four big hats in the game!
However, the Warriors have since suffered another Waterloo, this time against the Lakers, who they have won in the Christmas game before, and this time in Oakland, the Lakers have beaten the Warriors.
Previously, the Lakers' record had fallen to fourth in the West, and the outside world was full of criticism about them, but in this game, Kobe and Gasol combined to score 65 points, and the defensive end was also very good, successfully limiting the outside team's cannonball delivery to Chamberlain, and finally won 101-92.
Kobe Bryant's love was only slightly better after the game he won, and he said in an interview after the game: "We played hard because we were facing a team that was going to build a dynasty, but it was not bad, my brothers gritted their teeth and persevered to the end, no one was a deserter, we fought the Warriors side by side to the end, and then proved that we are the real Warriors!" As long as we continue like this, then by June, we will finally get what we want. ”
"California Sports" shot back at Kobe, saying: "Kobe Bryant is not like the big brother of a team, look, the team wins, how about he says 'my brothers', and when the Lakers kept losing before, what did he call these 'brothers'?" 'Cowards', 'Guys Softer Than Toilet Paper', 'Those Guys'...... Kobe Bryant has to reflect that the boss didn't do this. ”
January has rushed by, the All-Star roster has also been released, and the season is almost halfway through, and teams like the Spurs and Celtics are starting to prepare for the playoffs.
The Warriors are more distressed by their guard problems, the loss to the Lakers this game sounded the alarm bell for them, when Carter had not yet returned, West was trapped in the first half of the foul problem, so he could only let Iverson go to the top, but Iverson is indeed no longer the man like the wind, this loss, in the final analysis, is that the Warriors outside line was blown up.
Iverson will give 100% strength every time he plays against Kobe, and this time the game is over, he said to Chamberlain with a wry smile: "Brother, I tried my best, I hope you understand, I really tried my best!" However, my strength is not strong enough, and I guess I won't be able to accompany you to the NBA at the beginning of next season. ”
Heroes are in the twilight, and beauties are white!
At that time, Chamberlain was shocked when he heard Iverson's emotion, Iverson's contract still has one year, when he signed a 3-year contract in 09, and the contract will expire next year, Chamberlain is worried that he will retire early!
