The Celtics scored eight points in a row in the opening game, and the Warriors had a scoring opportunity, and this goal was scored by Chamberlain.

Chamberlain's sluggish performance made the Green Shirts disdainful, and the haughty Garnett let him concentrate on helping the defense, only to see that Azubuuk was pressed by Rondo, and saw Chamberlain pass the ball in the open space. At this time, Chamberlain was still outside the box, which is why Garnett let him go.

When he got the ball, Chamberlain subconsciously thought, since his physical fitness has recovered from the past, isn't his hand feeling restored? Facing the two-meter vacancy around him, Chamberlain habitually tiptoed and shook his wrist softly, and the shot hit.

The score made both the Warriors and the Celtics laugh and cry, and Jackson exclaimed to Chamberlain: "Z, this is your first shot in the NBA, you have to remember this day, I think this year is second only to Christmas." ”

Later, Garnett beat Chamberlain, took advantage of the latter's slump to attack the inside, and scored four points in a row, helping the Celtics lead by 12:2 by ten points.

Ellis saw that something was wrong, turned on his personal scoring mode, shook Ray Allen, stepped back to the three-point line, and made a wonderful three-point shot.

"To your buddy!" Ellis proudly saluted Ray Allen with an American-style military salute, this three-point shot was arrogant enough, Ellis had already shaken off the gentleman Ray, but he withdrew to shoot from a distance, just such a ball, Ellis's arrogance and self-confidence were vividly displayed.

Junzi Lei smiled slightly, and didn't care about Ellis's stimulation, but turned around, he appeared outside the weak-side three-point line through Pearson's cover, received Garnett's response, and also cut a three-pointer after getting the ball.

Chamberlain's defensive leakage has left the Warriors in a mess, and with Davis' injury, Chamberlain has become the new core, and his tough defense, his superb ball intelligence, all of which have helped the Warriors immensely.

The elder Nelson is also tilting tactics towards Chamberlain, intentionally or unintentionally, and in recent team training matches, several sets of new tactics have been practiced with Chamberlain as the core.

After eight minutes of the first quarter, the Warriors had fallen behind by as many as 16 points at 9:25, and Chamberlain was beaten by Garnett without fighting back, and in these eight minutes, Chamberlain did not have the demeanor of a rookie king and rebounding king at all, he only scored four points and two rebounds, two of which were free throws.

Everything is so strange, both the fans and the players are now confused, if the Chamberlain on the field does not look the same as before, they still think that it is a different person. Where is the SUPER-Z that used to be defense-impregnable? Who is this big, floppy man?

The more you play, the less confidence you play, the worse you play, all this becomes a vicious circle, Chamberlain not only can't be the core of the Warriors, but has become a burden on the court, he does not help the team on the defensive end, but drags down the team's offensive rhythm on the offensive end.

At first, Garnett and others thought that Chamberlain was showing weakness and still didn't dare to underestimate him, but as the game progressed, they found that the big man was not as strong as shown in the previous game video, so they let it go, especially Garnett, who hit Chamberlain on his back, how to fight.

Pierce cracked his mouth and said with a smile: "Kevin, you really have a way, you are definitely the number one inside line in the league, look at this poor kid, he has been teased by you and can't find the north!" Oh, poor little one, are you a lost lamb? ”

Chamberlain pursed his lips and didn't speak, Garnett turned his back to him to get the ball again, and after getting the ball, his body was short and he was about to pass him, Chamberlain hurriedly stepped back, but as soon as he retreated, Garnett also took two steps back, pulled away from the distance, and arrogantly came to an accurate mid-range shot in front of him.

The Warriors served, Jackson grabbed Chamberlain's jersey, and the accumulated dissatisfaction and confusion erupted like a volcano, he shook Chamberlain and yelled: "Damn, what the hell is going on with you? Hear what the fans are shouting? ARE YOU STILL SUPER-Z? ”

Chamberlain was full of grief and indignation, he threw the ball off, and the referee's face sank and he was about to blow his technical foul, but fortunately, the old Nelson asked for a timeout in time, and the Warriors players came back indignantly, he nodded to Biedrins and said: "You replace Z, Z, have a good rest." ”

Chamberlain had nothing to say, sat on the bench with a blushing face, picked up a towel and covered his head, and drank energy drinks desperately, feeling confused for a while.

Garnett has already played with a feeling, he has become unstoppable, Bidrins' defense is actually not much better than the current Chamberlain, the skinny camel is bigger than the horse, Chamberlain's reach and consciousness are there. After the entire first half, Garnett, who played 24 minutes, scored 22 points and 18 rebounds, and was amazingly efficient.

The fans kept chanting "we need SUPER-Z", but Nelson Sr. kept holding Chamberlain to the bench and using Biedrins against Garnett.

Chamberlain couldn't stand it anymore, and at the beginning of the second half, he ripped off the towel and yelled at old Nelson: "BOSS, replace me on the court, it's a big deal to die on the court, I will never let the Bostonians have a good time!" "He's still an ancient beast in his bones.

Old Nelson looked at Chamberlain in surprise, then smiled, he sat down next to Chamberlain, and said, "Z, you relax, it's just a regular season, and we have to play 82 games a season like this." I'd love to keep winning, but it's impossible, no one can win all the games, you have to get used to winning and losing. ”

Looking at Chamberlain's unwilling eyes, the elder Nelson continued to smile: "What you have to do today is to have a good rest, and then watch the game carefully to see how Garnett plays, if we want to win the championship, then sooner or later we will meet the Boston people in the finals, and then the most important thing is that we can win." ”

Chamberlain still wanted to argue, but Li Qun pulled him and whispered: "Z, Coach Nelson is protecting you, Garnett is already unstoppable, it is obvious that he is going to play the best game of the season so far today, Coach Nelson wants to protect you, he will not allow Garnett to destroy your confidence!" ”

This is obvious, in fact, NBA head coaches often do this, when their rookies are against a famous superstar and are at a disadvantage, out of love, they will press the players to the bench to avoid facing the face of being crushed by confidence, in fact, there is no shame in encountering this kind of thing.

In the 1984-85 season, the Celtics visited Chicago to challenge the Bulls, and Bird also went crazy in that game, even the Flyer Jordan was under His Majesty, and had to sit on the bench to avoid his edge, when Jordan was also pressed to the bench by coach Kevin Langley, and he was even worse, playing only five minutes in a game.

In addition, there was LeBron James in 03, the little emperor has shown his strong talent since he landed in the NBA and has become the darling of fans and the league, which makes the famous superstars very uncomfortable, Maddy, who was in the limelight at the time, decided to come forward to teach the little emperor a lesson, in the clash between the Cavaliers and the Magic, Maddy repeatedly broke through James's defense in front of him and dunked, and John Lucas, who was the head coach of the Cavaliers at the time, had to replace the little emperor off the court.

Chamberlain was depressed, and the elder Nelson sensed this, and said meaningfully: "Don't think about it, Z, there is no doubt that you have a great tomorrow." It really doesn't matter if we win or lose this game, and even for us, losing is not necessarily a bad thing. ”

This sentence surprised Chamberlain, and the elder Nelson smiled: "Although the reputation of the league number one is good, but the reputation is too loud and it will become a burden, I hope you play because of your love for basketball and desire to win, not because of some unwarranted fame." Winning streaks will make you complacent, and losing a game will make you see yourself more clearly. ”

Within a few minutes of the start of the second half, the old Nelson began to change the bench lineup, and Troy Hudson finally had a chance to play, but his fate was not good, and a rookie with super defense came out of the Celtics opposite, that guy was called Tony Allen, opposite Hudson, and his defense was ecstatic.

This event, which was originally expected by everyone to be Mars hitting the Earth, came to an end, Rivers is a very personable coach, after the old Nelson changed to a pure substitute lineup, he did not continue to send the main force to wreak havoc on the court, but also replaced the golden trident, although Garnett played well, it is likely to break his own record in this game.

The Warriors' bench lineup is still good, Barnes and Biedrins led the benches to play in a disciplined manner, but caught up with a lot of scores, and the Warriors lost the game 92-104 after the final, and the loss of points is not much, and there is no difference in the results, but everyone who has watched the game knows that the Celtics and the Warriors are very different.

Accustomed to Chamberlain's involvement in the opponent's defense on the inside, the rest of the Warriors did not play well in this game, and Ellis only scored 18 points, the first time this season that he did not score 20. Of course, the 92-point run is also the first time this season that the Warriors have not scored more than 100 points in total.

At the end of the game, Rivers respectfully came up to shake hands with old Nelson, and he said reservedly: "This is not the true face of your team, Coach Tang, don't you want me to see your true strength in advance?" Well, it seems that you have your own plans, maybe I should tell you, let's see you in the finals. ”

Rivers is a good talker, and he blames the poor play of Chamberlain and the rest of the Warriors as a temporary avoidance for the old Nelson, and puts a high hat on the old man, saying that the Warriors and his team will make it to the Finals.

The Celtics players don't have such cultivation, Garnett is okay, he is really disappointed, and said to Chamberlain disdainfully: "I thought you would be a good opponent, it seems that I was thinking too much, you are a piece of shit, rookie, you have to remember my evaluation of you, you are a piece of shit, always!" ”

Pearson had a few words with Jackson, and when he heard Garnett's assessment of Chamberlain, he laughed and said, "Man, can I think you're insulting 'shit' by saying that?" ”

Chamberlain glanced at the two expressionlessly, gritted his teeth and said, "See you in the next game." ”

Li Qun frowned and glanced at the triumphant Garnett and the others, she thought for a while, walked up and said with a smile: "Mr. Garnett, if you think that Mr. Z is shit, then treat a piece of shit as an opponent, may I ask what you are yourself?" ”
