"If the North Shore Garden Arena is the most glorious arena in NBA history, then what we're going to face next is the most glorious arena in the league over the past decade, boys, are you ready to break them down and make history?" Old Nelson scolded Fang Jiong and roared like thunder.

Chamberlain and others were enthusiastic about playing against the Spurs, and what they felt was not pressure, but strong motivation: these young people, they were rebellious, rebellious, fearless, and the Spurs' first record in the league gave them ambition, and they wanted to beat the so-called No. 1 team in the West and defeat the defending champions in this stadium, adding more glory to their banner.

Beating the Jazz is nothing, although they have completed the playoffs and won the fourth place in fifth, but the ranking does not mean everything, in terms of regular season record, the Warriors are better than the Jazz, and the latter can be ranked above the former, and that is because of the division, not the strength.

The Warriors will win against the Jazz as a matter of course, but if they finish fifth in the West and then eliminate the first in the West, it will be an unprecedented feat: they will once again complete the miracle of dark horses, and become dark horses for two consecutive seasons, which is an unprecedented feat in NBA history!

Just as all teams want to be dark horses, all teams don't want to be dark horses, the Spurs team is working together, and the fans are united.

The Warriors players were met with a flood of boos when they entered the stadium, especially when Chamberlain was the last to enter the court, all kinds of abuse, all kinds of contempt, all kinds of intimidation, and Spurs fans let the Warriors players try what it means to be 'crazy at home'.

After experiencing the arrogance of the Salt Lake City fans, Chamberlain thought that he had seen the big scene, and the atmosphere of these away fans would not scare him in the future, but when he entered the ATT Center, he was still surprised.

Simply than the atmosphere on the court, maybe the Jazz's energy center is crazier, but they are a rabble, everyone is in their own position, so Chamberlain only hears a noise, and it is not clear what they are called, and it doesn't matter in his heart.

Spurs fans are different, just like this team, they have a strong sense of discipline, as if they have been trained in the military, some people hold a loudspeaker in the middle of the fans and shout slogans, others follow neatly, and the shouts rush down like thunder:

"Spurs will win! Spurs will win! Spurs will win! ”

"Sweep the Warriors! Get the hell out of Texas! ”

……

Chamberlain had to cover his ears to enter the field, he grinned and walked to his teammates, only West looked normal, directly took a ball and began to warm up, and the other expressions were more painful than him.

"Damn, are the Spurs fans from the military? Fuck, these bitches must have rehearsed beforehand. Chamberlain scolded.

Billups covered his ears and sighed, "Z, you should be glad that you didn't meet this team in the finals, otherwise you will regret that you are not a damn deaf person!" ”

Chamberlain roared, "What did you say? I can't hear you! ”

Billups scolded, "Of course you can't hear it with your fucking ears covered......"

Chamberlain immediately sneered at each other and said, "Didn't you cover your ears the same?" You heard what I said, so there's a trick to that, right? ”

Billups: "Can you even hear what I'm saying?" ”

According to the usual practice, the national anthem was played and the national flag was raised, and the fans finally quieted down, Chamberlain put down the palm covering his ears, feeling that his ears were still 'buzzing', and he couldn't help but exclaim in horror: "Hey, are your ears calling?" I'm not going to be damn tinnitus, am I? ”

Jackson comforted him, "It's okay, Z, you're too worried, my ears are also buzzing, and it's been calling for years......"

Chamberlain was speechless, should he be relieved or comforted?

The starting lineup of the Spurs is Oberto + Duncan + Bowen + Parker + Finley, Ginobili is still sitting off the court, it seems that Popovich still intends to use him as a surprise soldier and find an opportunity to give the Warriors a fatal blow.

The Warriors' starting lineup is also very strong: Chamberlain + Evans + Jackson + Billups + Ellis, the old Nelson-for-tat, pressed West on the bench as the sixth man, and after arranging the team's tactics, he took the tactical board to say something to West, who nodded solemnly and constantly, it seems that the old Nelson is going to use him as a killer weapon.

Chamberlain went to find Bowen, and after Christmas, the two partnered for several charity events, and the relationship between them grew stronger. After knowing Bowen well enough, Chamberlain accepted him as a friend, Bowen was savage on the court, but off the court he was gentlemanly, self-disciplined, caring, and trained hard, he was the kind of person who could give everything for the team, and Chamberlain considered himself to be such a person.

"What are your plans for when we're eliminated, man?" Chamberlain asked as he greeted Bowen.

Bowen smiled and said, "You haven't woken up yet, little Z?" We're the defending champions, you know? We're going to start a dynasty this season, we're the first in the West, you're just our sparring partner, so if you're going to ask me to do something, we're going to have to wait until the end of May when we win the championship. ”

Chamberlain waved his hand and said, "Forget it, let's not fight with words, let's wait to see the real chapter on the court." Seriously, we have an Olympic Games in Beijing this year, do you want to participate? ”

Bao Wenwan smiled and said, "You know, I'm old, and my reputation is not good, so it's impossible to join the Dream Team......"

Chamberlain said with disdain: "Of course I know, I don't mean that you participate in the game, a guy like you can play in a bad team like the Spurs, if the Dream Team invites you to participate, it will definitely not even be able to get out of the group stage." I mean charity race, I'm going to organize a charity race in our country, do you want to go? I've invited Billups, Mutombo, Durant, they, are you coming? ”

Bowen laughed and said, "You're trying to provoke me by all means, aren't you?" As you said, I'm old like an old dog who has lost its hair, and if I go to your charity race, won't it make you lose money and lose face? ”

Chamberlain shrugged his shoulders and said helplessly: "Who made me be good friends with you?" You can't dislike each other, right? ”

Bowen smiled even more happily, he punched Chamberlain in the chest, and said with a smile: "Okay, for the sake of friendship, I'll go to the competition, but is there any benefit?" ”

Chamberlain crossed his fingers and began to count: "Of course there are benefits, as long as you go to China, all food and accommodation are included, and it will also take you to the Great Wall, the Forbidden City, and other places to travel, not bad, right?" Maybe you'll meet a sweet love affair in our country......"

Bowen immediately said: "It's okay to take me on a trip, forget about love or something, I'm old and can't play these things anymore." ”

The referee blew the whistle and the game was about to start, Chamberlain and Bowen hugged each other, and after parting, the two were rivals.

Chamberlain and Duncan jumped the ball, and in the face of the crowd's chanting of 'Spurs come on', Chamberlain jumped up first and gave the racket to Billups.

In the face of Parker's defense, Billups turned around and put on a strong offensive posture, and when he reached the frontcourt, he hit Parker rhythmically with his strong shoulders, and at the same time began to spew trash words in his mouth: "Boy, I heard that you have a knee injury?" Then you'd better go back to your mom and rub it for you, don't be on the court, or I'll scrap you! ”

Parker's eyes were bright, and he didn't step forward to be forced, because his family knew about his own affairs, and he was not good at defense. Defensively, his role is to be involved in the Spurs' overall defensive system, and his one-man marking ability is not good.

However, this is not absolute, he is better at defending those guards who are fast and have poor power, such as Nash, Paul, Harris, etc., he can effectively limit, and when encountering opponents like Billups who are not bad in speed, power and explosiveness, he is a little tricky.

Billups put on a strong attitude to eat Parker, sticking to Parker all the way and slowly pushing inside, Parker had no way to retreat after retreating to the inside, so he could only go up and squeeze the opponent. Billups got close to Parker and immediately turned around, and Bowen, who had already noticed this, rushed up and reached out to pull the ball, and Billups was prepared and waved the ball to Jackson.

Jackson got the ball and jumped to shoot, the Spurs' defensive system was already working, although Bowen let go of Jackson, but Finley came up in time to change the defense, Jackson's shot was interfered with, and the bounce flew out on the rebound.

Oberto jammed Chamberlain, and Duncan reached for the rebound and passed to Parker.

Parker quickly dribbled forward, he didn't stick to the ball when he got to the frontcourt, he took a general look at his teammate's position, and passed the ball to Finley, and he started to run with Billups, he first made a small cooperation with Bowen, who helped him block Billups, Finley passed the ball back to Parker, who drove the ball straight to the basket.

Getting the ball again, Parker made a pull-up jumper, and after the jump, Chamberlain came up to the defense, and he still threw it high.

The basketball landed in a perfect arc into the hoop, and Parker smiled and ran backwards with small steps.

Billups still used the previous tactics to put on a strong play to Parker, Parker took a step back and formed a 2-3 joint defense with his teammates, Billups passed the ball to Chamberlain on the inside, Chamberlain received the ball and turned to the basket, grabbed the ball and made a dunk frame, Oberto stuck to him tightly behind him, and Duncan came up from the wing to wrap up.

Chamberlain jumped up after deceiving Oberto, Duncan's arm appeared beside him, Chamberlain's heart sank, the arc of the shot changed a little, the basketball hit the neck of the basket, and was grabbed by Oberto, who jumped again.

Chamberlain slapped his palms hatefully and scolded: "It's really evil!" ”

Evans sneered, his attack ability was really limited, and he couldn't go up to pick it up, otherwise Duncan wouldn't dare to go up and trap Chamberlain so easily. Nelson Sr. also has his own plans for sending Evans on the court, he doesn't expect Evans to bring much help to the team on the supply side, what he needs is Evans to defend Duncan.

When Parker passed the ball to Duncan, Evans immediately clung to it with the intention of making up for it.
