1040 Finale
Then, the Warriors traveled to Miami, a warm holiday city where Chamberlain had done so many miracles, and this time, fans were once again looking at the city in the hope that he could do it again.
Standing on the soil of Miami, Chamberlain couldn't help but resound the three guys who had caused him the most trouble, and in 21o, three geniuses who were extremely hungry for victory and glory were united in order to fight him, and did not hesitate to risk being insulted by the world.
It's a pity that at that time, Chamberlain was in his prime and brave, and he was stunned to block the triumvirate from joining forces, making their huddle a joke, and not winning the championship once.
At the beginning of the game, Chamberlain did not disappoint the fans, and with 62 seconds left in the fourth quarter, the Warriors trailed by one point at 83-4. After that, Heat rookie Ashaimen missed a jumper, Chamberlain won the defensive rebound, and then the Warriors called a timeout, and the last attack was naturally Chamberlain's shot.
The Miami fans in the stadium couldn't help but stand up, this O number that they loved and hated, this meritorious god who created the first dynasty on them, more than once completed incredible performances on this field, this time, will he be the final winner?
With 42 seconds left in the game, Chamberlain handed over his answer, he shot out of the three-point line from the penalty area, and then pressed the two hairy boys who wrapped him to shoot decisively, and then the crisp sound appeared, cheers rang out, and the Heat fans didn't know how they felt at this moment, Chamberlain killed their team, but their hearts were full of excitement and emotion.
3-4 Warriors counter two points.
In the last 2 seconds, the Heat shot iron, Chamberlain picked up the last rebound, and the game was over, and the Warriors won another game.
In fact, in this game, Chamberlain's shot was not a lore, but all the fans stubbornly called the shot that was 2 seconds away from the end of the game a lore.
At the end of the game, the fans stood up and gave Chamberlain a round of applause, who waved goodbye to the fans, the stadium and the city with a big smile on his face.
Goodbye, Heat, goodbye, the former Big Three.
Chamberlain looked up and vaguely saw a handsome black man with bulging cheeks, yelling at him unconvinced.
Flash, I'm leaving this battlefield too, the next time we meet, let's shake hands and make peace, okay?
After winning against the Heat, the Warriors have won nine in a row, and the relationship between Chamberlain and MP and the championship has entered the mouths of fans and experts again.
But soon, two back-to-back defeats sent Chamberlain fans tumbling back from the clouds of hope back to reality.
Especially on the night of 2/2/22, just after Christmas, in Indianapolis, Chamberlain played only 14 minutes, scored 6 points on 1-of-6 shooting, and then went off the court with a sprained ankle.
It was one of the few times in Chamberlain's career that he withdrew due to injury, and it was also the first time in two consecutive seasons that he didn't have a double-double in scoring and rebounds.
The god Qiao, who has been unparalleled in the world all his life, has finally come to step down from the altar completely.
Just like the invincible Goku in "Dragon Ball" also had a moment when he calmly admitted defeat in the face of Shalu, Chamberlain finally faded the coat of the first god of war in basketball in the face of time.
Amid the long sighs of pundits and fans, two more days later, Chamberlain led the Warriors to host the oncoming Holy City Spurs.
The Templars of the Holy City wanted to set foot on Oakland, and Joel Carter, who had won 4of16 on Chamberlain's head, came here with confidence, he wanted to continue to create glory, stepping on Chamberlain's corpse to ascend to the throne, but Durant's prophecy unfortunately came true......
Chamberlain shot 2 of 3 from the field, and the high-spirited Champion Lang was stunned before the steal was stunned by the terrifying 6 points, 18 rebounds, F blocks, and a steal
That game, which was later voted the best game in the NHA that season, was also a standard '8PE victory,'.
After the game, the young Mr. Zhuangyuan finally lowered his head, and he said at a press conference: "Angry, this is terrible, it's terrible, am I facing Thor?" Oh God, oh, help me"
Looking back on the past 20 years, how many people have had such thoughts? Little Champion is not the first guy to think he has touched Thor, nor is he the first player to pray to God.
Thankfully, the players don't have to suffer like this.
The game in which Chamberlain taught the champion was the last day of the 22nd year, and soon the time entered the year 22 AD, and a new page in history was opened.
On the fourth day after the new year, Chamberlain, who had been well rested, was back in action, this time against the Bulls, the team that had created another great champion.
As if to pay homage to the red jersey embroidered with No. 2 on his head, Chamberlain fought for the minute, slashed down 2 points, 2 rebounds and B blocks, and the Warriors continued to win.
It was in this game that another classic shot of Chamberlain's career was born.
With 4o seconds left before the end of the game, the Warriors held the lead when Chamberlain's dashing turnaround jumper was blocked by Bulls interior big man Kelly Hughes.
Chamberlain thought it was a foul by a thug and ran over to protest to the referee, but the referees ignored him.
Chamberlain's face was not good-looking, and he shouted: "Is it because I am about to retire, so you think that my words have no weight?" Guys, you're mistaken, and I'm going to tell you, you're making a big mistake."
Feeling insulted, Chamberlain got angry and sat at the top of the box to defend the arc, and the Bulls played a beautiful match, and then their core small forward, Thorne Murphy, who had booked the Eastern Conference All-Star forward position, broke through the right baseline and wanted to make a layup.
Chamberlain, who was already 4O, suddenly seemed to be back to 18 years old, he chased after Murphy as he did when he first entered the league in 2o7, and then flew into the air, and with a wave of his right hand, he pinned the ball that Murphy was about to shoot to the rebound
After that, Chamberlain jumped up twice and picked up the rebound with his left hand, and the whole court was boiling at this moment, tens of thousands of fans screamed wildly, and Murphy staggered back to look at Chamberlain in panic.
And Chamberlain, his eyes are not on Murphy at all, he stands on the court like a steel gun, his eyes are proud of the referee, majestic, deep and pure, not angry and self-assured
At this moment, the god of war Chamberlain returned to the court.
Coincidentally, before this game, Chamberlain watched the last episode of the newly filmed Dragon Babu, and discussed the plot of this episode with reporters during the interview in the locker room, and then everyone remembered the plot title of this episode: Teaching Shan Yu to Break the Arrow, Six Armies to Fight Evil, and Fight Heroes to Anger
After that, Chamberlain continued to be powerful, and he led the already battered Warriors to fight more and more bravely, and go further and further.
Against the Clippers, Chamberlain helped the team win with a triple-double performance of 18 points, 18 rebounds and 1o blocks, and then improved the triple-double age record to 4o years old; Against the Wizards again, Chamberlain chipped in 2 points, 14 rebounds, 11 blocks, and another triple-double, and Chamberlain went on to break and then set a triple-double age record, and again, the Warriors won.
Soon, the Warriors ushered in a five-game winning streak, and in these five games, Chamberlain was as brave as usual, but this was already his limit, after all, he was a 4o-year-old old center, and Chamberlain, who had wrinkles on his forehead, could no longer maintain a strong and efficient performance like he was in his prime.
After five consecutive wins, the Warriors unfortunately suffered a five-game losing streak, but no one can blame Chamberlain, because the Warriors were unlucky to suffer an injury crisis at that time, and from the fourth game loss to the Lakers, they only had the players left
Next, on January 19 of the year, an even more desperate game was born, and the only two remaining players of the Warriors were injured when they collided with each other in the previous day's confrontation training, and all of a sudden, there were only five players who could play in the Warriors, and among these five people, there was no power forward, only Chamberlain had a center, and in addition to four guards
According to the NHAR rule, the Warriors can adjust their schedule, and they can not play this game.
However, it was the Warriors playing the Bucks on the road, and Milwaukee fans had been waiting for half a season to welcome Chamberlain
The eyes of the whole alliance were on Chamberlain, who smiled freely and said: "I am a warrior, and my brothers are also warriors, we may die in battle, but it is also on our position, so why not fight?" Of course we have to fight, of course we have to win"
This is NHA God of War
The opening of that game was probably the most moving opening in Milwaukee fans' memory.
The Bucks gave their opponents enough respect that they even let their own team play first and let the Warriors play later, and when Chamberlain walked out of the tunnel, the fans cheered, screamed, and roared desperately for a long time......
What is touching is that the Bucks fans completely turned against each other in this game, and the whole court was a uniform Warriors Dynasty King, and throughout the game, the players of the home team Bucks boos as soon as they got the ball, and every attack on the away team's side will cause cheers, especially when Chamberlain gets the ball, and even some fans cry bitterly
Colder Milwaukee, but with some of the most passionate fans in the world, Chamberlain didn't leave the court after the game, he ran along the court, shaking hands with every fan in the first two rows, and he also kept the game ball for this time, which was signed by the other four Warriors who played on it.
It's understandable that Chamberlain was treated so well in Milwaukee, as it was the Warriors' last game before the All-Star break, and the league was going to give Chamberlain a break and prepare for the All-Star Games.
But Chamberlain did not choose to do this, he respected the Milwaukee fans, and fought for 48 minutes without a second of stopping, so the Milwaukee fans also gave him the most sincere and enthusiastic feelings.
On February, the All-Star game was played in Oakland again, and as the host, Chamberlain undoubtedly became the center of the West, and he also created another miracle, that is, he became the ticket king, the oldest ticket king in NHA history
That All-Star Game was simply for Chamberlain, and the league invited the biggest star - Hollywood queen, Grammy Diva and Shirley Grants, who has always had a vague relationship with Chamberlain, to sing.
Wearing a white snow, gold trimmed O jersey, Shirley is beautiful, her voice is equally intoxicating, and "Thank You" sings everyone's heart to Chamberlain: 8PE - Thank you, thank you for spending such an amazing 20 years with us, thank you for letting us have the most perfect sports memories in these golden 20 years......
After the game started, Chamberlain became the ace of the West, everyone thought he was proud of passing, but after Chamberlain shot the first ball in the opening game, he kept a low profile, although he ran hard the whole game, although he tried hard to scramble throughout the game, but he didn't shoot much, more to grab rebounds and help his teammates cover.
In the end, the Western Stars won with 26111, but the MP was not Chamberlain, but the one who had been taught by him! Very miserable Spurs new champion.
The fans were surprised, and the league was also surprised, you must know that this MP trophy, the league is specially customized, called 'Eternal Supreme, Bronze Ding, specially prepared for Chamberlain.
When the young champion stepped onto the podium, he was met with embarrassing boos, and Chamberlain had to smile and explain it all to the fans: "I'm leaving here, if at this time, I still win the trophy that represents the highest glory, then how can I leave with confidence?" This trophy is actually a torch, someone once passed the league torch to me, and now what I want to do is to continue to pass it on."
The demeanor of the king of heaven is to impress the world
The new champion took the trophy, Chamberlain gave the torch, and the basketball fire was still burning
At this time, halfway through the season, Chamberlain began to lead the team to fight for the playoffs.
As his teammates gradually returned from injury, Chamberlain's swing got better and better, with 3 points and 15 rebounds against the Timberwolves, back-to-back games against the Pistons was -1 point, 18 rebounds and 6 blocks, 4o points and 2 boards against the Cavaliers, 41 points and 7 rebounds against the Suns, and 1o boards against the Nets......
Even in the final season, Chamberlain continued to break some of the miracles he created, in fact, for him, these records are not interesting at all, he just plays hard to make the fans who like him and like basketball happy.
Sports are fair, if you pay for him, he will make you famous and make you gain.
After the All-Star break, the Warriors played a shocking B winning streak and once broke into the top four in the West.
Just when the whole team was united to attack the playoffs, Chamberlain's body finally couldn't stand it.
In fact, at the end of last season, Chamberlain had plans to retire, but 22 was the Beijing Olympics, and he played for the country for the last time and contributed the last point of strength, so he didn't have time to prepare for retirement, so he continued to play this season.
Since the Olympic Games, Chamberlain's meniscus in both knees have been infected and harassed, and his latissimus dorsi has also formed a habitual strain, and he has long been unable to continue to play as an ordinary person, but Chamberlain gritted his teeth and endured all this, because he is the god of war
Yes, he is the god of war
A well-deserved god of war
Billups, the head coach of the Warriors, knew that Chamberlain could not stand it now, so he strictly limited Chamberlain's playing time to two minutes, despite the pleading of the fans.
Previously, Oxlade-Chamberlain played minutes this season, averaging 2 per game. b, 15. 2 rebounds, fourth in the league in scoring, first in rebounding
The sharp drop in playing time naturally led to a decline in Chamberlain's stats, and more importantly, the Warriors' record plummeted
In the first half of March, the Warriors were able to win six of their seven games, and in the second half of the month, they lost two of their 13 games, slipping from fourth in the West to eighth in the West.
During this period, except for one game where Chamberlain gritted his teeth and scored 34 points, he never scored 3 points in other games, and even rarely scored more than 2 points.
Fans gradually came to accept the fact that Chamberlain was the god of war, but the nhai entered the twilight of the gods, and this god of war is no longer omnipotent.
The time enters April, and the playoffs are coming soon, and because of the poor performance at the last moment, the Warriors actually fell to the ninth position, which is dangerous, you must know that Chamberlain entered the league in 2o7 and began to play the playoffs in 26, and the Warriors have never left the playoffs
Oxlade-Chamberlain, who has been resting for nearly a month, told the media on April 1 that he had rested enough, and now that he is healthy enough, he will lead the team to sprint.
When it comes to doing it, in the first game of April against the Mavericks, Chamberlain made a crazy shot - 1 cut down 6 points, breaking the age record of 6 points in a single game again, and then facing another team in the Southwest Rockets, he scored 3 points and 2 rebounds to lead the team to continue to win.
Since then, the Warriors have embarked on the road to victory, playing the Raptors, winning 11o-1o4; Playing the Knicks, 6o wins; Beat the Pelicans, 1OB8, win...
Relying on a winning streak in April, the Warriors caught the last train of the playoffs, and they finished seventh in the West with a 48-34 record, and proudly entered the playoffs.
In the playoffs, the Warriors' opponent is the league's new San Antonio Spurs, maybe this is fate, Chamberlain's last opponent is still the new champion Joel Carter.
No one dares to underestimate the Warriors in the playoffs, the team that won the championship for the second time in 2 years, even if they are only seventh in the West, even if their opponent is the Spurs, who are known as the most stable team in the league.
In the first game, the Warriors visited San Antonio, after Chamberlain entered, Joel Carter specially chatted with him and asked him about his playoff experience, Chamberlain did not cherish himself, Carter said to reporters after the game: "It's really teaching me something, I can't say that I've learned a lot, because that's too official, what I want to say is that he made me from a playoff layman to a little connoisseur, so to speak, even though it's the first time to play the playoffs, I don't think I'm going to play badly."
Yes, the new champion Yuanlang's playoff game is not bad, but it can be said to be very good, and the average of 2 points and 13 rebounds per game in six games is already very good for a playoff rookie.
Chamberlain's stats were better, averaging -1 points and 15 rebounds per game, but his team only lasted until Game 6, with the Spurs leading by 2 points in the last five minutes of Game 6.
With seconds left in the game, Joel Carter fouled Chamberlain and sent him to the free throw line, and then Spurs coach Tony Pegger called a timeout and called a timeout for Chamberlain, and the fans gave Chamberlain a standing ovation, and the audience gave Chamberlain a final round of applause.
At that moment, the big screen above the arena began to play a two-minute short documentary, which was the essence of Chamberlain's playoff game
At the end of the game, the Warriors were eliminated, the Spurs advanced, and Chamberlain said goodbye to the show, officially over
In the last season, Chamberlain, who was as old as 4O, and an old center, still sent an average of points per game, 13 rebounds, and B6 blocks, no matter which data it was, it was a new low in his career, but this data was enough for any player to win a contract with a maximum salary, and then go to any team to be the boss.
This is Chamberlain, the incomparable god of war
Coincidence was staged again in reality, on the day when the Warriors were eliminated by the Spurs, the new "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" filmed in China happened to be played in such an episode, and there was such a scene: outside the Wuzhang Plain, Zhuge Liang was sick and sick, so that he was helped on the left and right to get on the car, and went out of the village to watch the camps, consciously the autumn wind blew his face, and he was cold to the bone, so he sighed and said: "I can't fight for thieves anymore!" After that, Zhuge Liang sighed for a long time, returned to the tent, and became seriously ill......
Fans who saw this scene thought of Chamberlain almost at the same time.
They thought desperately that after this game, they would never see Chamberlain in battle again in their lifetimes, just like Qiao Feng in Yanmen Pass would never raise his glass to drink proudly, just like Ji Kang in the Qingzhu Execution Ground would never sound the strings of "Guangling San" again, just like after the Battle of the Forbidden City, Ximen Fuxue could no longer proudly draw his Qingfeng long sword.
The era that belonged to them is over
NHAO will continue, and a new generation of stars will continue to pour out, but Chamberlain, there will never be any more
8PE has become history, and the center has finally become a masterpiece
