Chapter 412: The NBA is not peaceful
At the end of the whistle, Chamberlain, who had a stiff face all the game, suddenly laughed, he lay on Curry and gasped, sighing: "Fuck, the time is too short, I can't even be ready to shoot, and I have to practice more three-point points in the future." ”
Curry said in frustration: "Damn, it's all my fault, it's all my fault!" Fuck, I shouldn't have passed so low on the last pass and it was shaken off by Paul, and if we could stick to him and make him shoot and not score, we still had a chance to score two points. ”
The last chance to kill is still Chamberlain's leaving, 0. 8 seconds lore, unless it is God himself, otherwise this kind of lore will only appear once in a few seasons, Chamberlain does not believe that his luck is so good, this kind of time lore has nothing to do with what stability, big heart, three-point shooting rate, like he said, you have to shoot when you receive the ball, as for the shooting posture? Whatever, anyway, whether the ball can go in or not depends on whether God favors you.
Chamberlain didn't want West, Curry, and others to bear the pressure of missing the final shot, and just like the last time he played the Spurs, he still pushed himself to the forefront - who made himself the boss of the team?
Seeing Curry's frustration, Chamberlain patted him on the back and smiled: "Don't think about it, man, the game is a forty-eight minute thing, it's never the weight of a straw that breaks the camel's back, and I don't play well, if I have a firm offense from the beginning of the first quarter, then things won't fall to the point where the last second can decide the winner." ”
After listening to Chamberlain's words, Paul and Chandler, who were about to come up for a post-game exchange, glanced at each other, the latter scratched his head in embarrassment, and said with a wry smile: "I've done my best, Chris, swear to God, I did my best!" ”
In this game, Chamberlain shot 12 of 24 and cut down 38 points, 21 rebounds and 6 blocks.
Coincidentally, after the game that day, there were really people who played better than Chamberlain, and they were Chamberlain's sworn enemy, the Suns' Stoudemire!
The Suns hosted the young Pacers 118-109 on the day, and due to the absence of the Pacers' main center, Smalls did not face an opponent in the restricted area, scoring 49 points, just one point away from his scoring record.
Shaquille O'Neal only played 12 minutes in that game due to foul trouble, and Stoudemire was almost alone on the inside, and the little bully set a new scoring high this season, and also set a new record of his own, that is, all 15 free throws were made, which is very rare for a big man inside, and he also contributed 11 rebounds, six assists and five steals. ESPN said after the game that Stoudemire became the first player in the league to score 45-10-5-5 stats.
However, the experts also took it cautiously, saying: "Amare did a great job, he became the first person to do this feat, but he will not be the last to do so, and if Super-Z wants to, he may easily break this record." ”
Ever since Chamberlain's triple-double with a block, pundits have been speculating that he has the ability to get a quadruple-double, and Chamberlain's assists are inconspicuous, but his vision is broad, and many have not forgotten the time when Billups didn't play as a center last season, when he was outstanding, averaging seven assists per game.
There was finally one time when the stats overpowered Chamberlain's nemesis, and Smalls didn't have long to say, and an hour later, the Spurs' game against the Timberwolves ended, and Parker returned to San Antonio with 56 points, 7 rebounds, and 7 assists per game.
Originally, Xiao Si's 45+10+5+5 could still be discussed by fans for a few days, but as soon as Parker's 55+5+5 came out, more people ran to discuss Parker, which made Xiao Si and the Suns fans half angry.
In fact, this can be predicted, although Xiao Si's data is beautiful, but the experts only politely praised it that day, the Pacers didn't even play inside in that game, and it is natural for you to score 520 points! And Chamberlain still cut 30+20+5 in the face of Chandler and West's bag, which is obviously more valuable, and Chandler is a single defense that can make Yao Ming, Duncan, Garnett and other top interior players suffer.
However, after losing to the Hornets, many people jumped out and blamed Chamberlain.
Los Angeles Times: "Who's at the heart of the Warriors?" We've always said that the Warriors were Chamberlain's team, but why did his team lose to the opposition when his partner Billups was out injured? It's worth reflecting on the fact that some people are actually pseudo-cores, while others are the real ones in charge of the team, despite the unpretentious stats and lackluster style of play. ”
Kobe: "Your sister, you don't have anything to do to jerk off, you want to sarcastically mock Chamberlain?" Lao Tzu has always wanted to win his favor and get him to the Lakers, and the goodwill that he has accumulated for a year has made you lose all of it, and your soul is weak! ”
Phoenix News: "Not everyone can score high and help the team win, Chamberlain is a good player, but obviously, his team's win has little to do with his stats, his high scoring is traded for high shots, as a core interior lineman, 24 shots only 30+? I don't think that's a good sign. ”
Stoudemire: "Your sister, I'm embarrassed now, you're still recruiting me black, are you idle to see our Suns team too pleasing to the eye or what?" Fucking not afraid of god-like opponents, but afraid of pig-like teammates, what kind of news, it's a hundred years of dedicated teammates! ”
The Boston Herald Tribune: "The last three-point shot to be a center?" I don't know if I should say that Coach Nielsen doesn't understand tactics, or should I say that their team is too big to fall, and someone is playing superstar status? Billups is a man with a big heart, he's the best guy to shoot the next shot, and when he's not on the floor, West, Jackson and even Azubuke and rookie Curry are not bad, but why choose a center to shoot this ball? I think with Coach Nelson's coaching level, he will not make such a mistake, the reason why this is so, I can only say that it is likely that Chamberlain wants to be in the limelight and asks for it, he thinks he can shoot such a ball, but in fact the key ball is not so simple, otherwise there would not be only one Ray Allen and only one Paul Pierce in the league! ”
Green Shirts: "Fuck, shut up, we're going to play the Warriors in the next game, the fucking bad luck is Garnett is also injured and can't play!" ”
After winning the championship last season, the state of the wolf king Garnett is not very good, he is older, and he relies too much on physical fitness to eat, he used to have the desire to win the championship, after winning the championship last season, this breath suddenly spewed out, and then the state of the whole person declined quickly.
Garnett suffered a recurrence of knee and back injuries in his right leg in the summer, but the Wolves didn't want to be ridiculed for winning the championship and insisted on playing after the start of the season, and set a record at the end of the second week, becoming the youngest Mr. 1000 games in history, but he hit Artest's knee when he grabbed a rebound in that game, and he retired at that time, and has not played in two games since.
The saddest thing is that the Wolves' 1,000-game age record is not destined to last long, as there is one player who is about to break this record and at least three others who will almost certainly break it in the future, and the next three are Kobe Bryant, who specializes in breaking records, and the other three are LeBron James, Dwight Howard, and Chamberlain.
Like Garnett, Kobe, James and Howard were all high school players who went straight to the NBA, and Chamberlain did not go to college and joined the NBA at the age of eighteen. Of course, Kobe Bryant was the youngest in the league when he was not yet 18 years old, while Chamberlain, James and Howard were all under 19 years old, and all four of them had the prerequisites to break Garnett's record.
Of course, entering the league at a young age does not mean that you will be able to make a difference like Garnett, and the key to being able to have your own place from the beginning of entering this top professional league is to have strength.
James and Howard, two players who are identified as future saviors for the Cavaliers and Magic respectively, have firmly locked their main positions since entering the league, and only Kobe Bryant's struggle has been relatively difficult, and he did not sit in his position until the third season of his career. Chamberlain didn't use his hands, and now the nickname of the crown prince speaks for itself.
In addition to being in the main position in prison, he also needs to have a healthy body to break through the 1,000-game mark, and in the 14 seasons so far in his career, Garnett has missed a total of 36 regular season games, an average of less than 3 games a season, which can be called an iron man.
The Celtics haven't had much of a defending title after returning this season, winning just four of their seven games so far, and Garnett has been sidelined with a knee injury in the last two games, and the Celtics have lost both games, which is unbearable!
Especially at this critical moment of stormy times, the Celtics broke the news again, last season's Finals MVP, the current Green Shirts' leading brother, the brave immortal bird fighter Paul Pearce said in an interview with reporters that he hopes to end his career in Greece if possible!
Pierce said this is related to the general environment of the NBA, this summer Atlanta Hawks last season's sixth man of the year Childers led the wave to Europe, not playing in the NBA but running to the European League, many European star players have also left the NBA and returned to Europe, which has set off a big discussion in the industry, because the NBA has always been regarded as the top game in the world of basketball, and it is the battlefield that every basketball person dreams of playing.
But at this juncture, Pierce shouldn't have said such a thing.
Now that the 2008-09 season has begun, Celtic have only one goal, and that is to defend their title. This task is difficult to accomplish because no team in the league has successfully defended the title since the Los Angeles Lakers during the OK period.
Moreover, from the perspective of the Celtics themselves, they are also facing a lot of trouble, the first point is that the bench heavyweight James Posey went to the New Orleans Hornets, and the Boston Big Three are not young, and whether they can maintain the spirit of last season is also a big problem. At this juncture, it is a bit inappropriate for Pierce to make such a statement. After all, Pierce is the captain of the Celtics, and the priority is to lead the team to a good game, especially since Garnett is still injured and sidelined.
Fortunately, Pierce is not brain-wrecked, and he hastened to explain that the reason why he is eager to play in Greece when his contract with the Boston Celtics expires is because there are many Greeks living in Boston, they are all very welcoming, and the club's staff also has Greeks. Therefore, if there is a Greek team interested in him at that time, he will really think about it.
If it weren't for the fact that the Green Shirts haven't been in a good situation lately, Pierce would be understandable for saying this.
There are many American men's professional basketball league players who have played in Europe since ancient times, and there are many famous characters such as Wilkins, "Magic" Johnson, and "Tommy Gun" Chambers. The background of these big names to play in Europe is that their careers have entered the twilight of their careers, they are obsessed with basketball, and they are unable to fight with their young students, so they turn to the slightly worse European leagues.
Pierce's contract expires in 2011, when he will be 34 years old, an age that is a bit scary for a player in his position. So, if Celtic or other teams can't offer a better contract, playing in Europe is not a good option.
As a point in addition, Ray Allen's contract expires in 2010, while the likes of Rajon Rondo, Kendrick Perkins and Tony Allen will also have contracts expiring before Pierce. In other words, if Danny Ainge doesn't do his job well, the team is in danger of disintegrating right now. Besides, with the increase of age, that is, the combat power of BIG3 will inevitably decline, and since the dream of the championship has been fulfilled, it is normal for people to go out and relax.
Chamberlain once said during the Olympics that when he stopped playing in the NBA one day, he would choose to join the CBA team with a lower salary, but it was during the Olympics, and he wouldn't stupidly tell reporters that he would leave the Warriors and go to the CBA when Billups was out.
