354。 God of War Teacher

Out of concern, Nelson Sr. quickly took targeted measures, and he asked Winnie to advance Chamberlain's participation in the training camp, which was a closed training camp that Iverson and the others would certainly not attend.

Originally, Winnie was only going to train Chamberlain alone, but because of the promise, Zhang Qingpeng was also able to participate in the training camp, but I don't know where Yi Jianlian got the news, Chamberlain and Zhang Qingpeng just flew to the United States to meet Curry and Ibaka, and he also ran to San Francisco.

"Can we join the bootcamp together?" Yi Jianlian said in a whisper.

Chamberlain was stunned for a moment, then Ha Lu Ha Da smiled, put his arm around his shoulders and said, "What's wrong with this?" Welcome, I'm welcome, it's better to train with a few people, it's better. ”

Seeing that the one-person special training originally planned by Ji Lu had become a five-person training group, Winnie was a little helpless, and she said expressionlessly: "Since we have already said so, then let's just make a training camp and invite dozens of children to participate in the training together." ”

Chamberlain snapped his fingers, his eyes lit up and said, "Good idea, Winnie, we can invite a few more trainers and have a training camp, it must be interesting." ”

Winnie was suddenly messy.

In the offseason, many NBA stars will hold basketball camps, unlike Jordan camps, Nike camps, Adidas camps or KFC camps, where they usually coach thirty or forty children, mainly to interact with them, not to make money.

Although many NBA stars have not gone to college, this does not mean that their quality is low, most of the NBA stars have a strong sense of social responsibility, and they will give back to the society after they become famous, which may be related to their poor life when they were children, when they hoped to get help from others but could not get it, and now they have the ability, they try to help these children.

The training gym Chamberlain chose was St. Lawrence High School in San Francisco, Winnie came forward to help him contact, the most awesome person born in St. Lawrence High School was Chamberlain, and to be honest, the latter's life in this school was not happy, and he was ridiculed and bullied a lot, so after becoming famous, Chamberlain rarely went to St. Lawrence High School.

This time, he chose the basketball hall of St. Lawrence High School as a training hall, and the school's principal and school board were very happy, and they only charged Chamberlain a symbolic fee of one yuan for the rental of the basketball hall, and provided the children with water and three meals for free.

St. Lawrence High School was actually a public school with a small presence in San Francisco and a small scale, with less than 200 students in the three grades combined, and it was not well known, but the birth of Chamberlain made him different.

St. Lawrence High School has an ambition, that is, to become the second St. Vincent-St. Mary's High School in the United States, which was once unknown, but because of the little emperor James's attendance, this school has become one of the top high schools in the United States, at least the attention has increased a lot.

Visibility is important for public schools because state and municipal government investment grants are proportional to their reputation.

Chamberlain opened the training camp just out of a sense of social responsibility, not long ago Bowen's training camp was routinely held, and Billups was also planning a training camp, so he was naturally not far behind. Like Bowen's camp, Chamberlain's Z camp is free of charge and will provide accommodation and meals for the children who participate.

There were two criteria for the selection of training camps, one is family status and the other is the love of basketball, and Winnie hired the Warriors' scouts to investigate the children who signed up for the training, and tried to leave the opportunity to the poor children who lived in the slums.

A summer vacation is of great significance to poor children in the slums, they have to take the opportunity to work to earn money to pay tuition fees for the next semester or earn money to support their families, many children with basketball talent have to join gangs, drug trafficking, smuggling or fire mergers in order to earn money to support their families, so that they have embarked on the road of no return, and never have the opportunity to show themselves on the basketball court.

The registration time is one week, Winnie led people to prepare for the convening of the training camp, Chamberlain and others trained step by step, Chamberlain's initial training had nothing to do with Winnie, because the team invited a new teacher for him, and Thurmond's teaching to him was over.

When Chamberlain arrived at the training hall and saw the new teacher that the team invited him, he was a little stunned for a while, he had already made a guess, in his heart, the team should invite him Olajuwon, Abdul-Jabbar and even Russell, these super emperors, but after meeting, he found that he was not very familiar with this new teacher.

It was an old man of nearly sixty years, he was tall, even taller than Chamberlain, but he had a full head of hair, a wrinkled face, and only a thin frame and a steady and agile stride that made him look quite energetic.

"Artis Gilmore? Why should he be my teacher? Chamberlain quietly called old Nelson and asked.

Yes, this teacher of his is named Gilmore, a star who is not very famous in the NBA, and he has not even entered the Hall of Fame.

Gilmour is really not well-known in the NBA, his name exists in the ABA league, and his professional basketball career began in the ABA league.

ABA stands for American Basketball Association, founded in 1967, and has been competing with the NBA league in the sixties and seventies, compared with the NBA, the ABA league is very different from the openness, freedom and more offensive play, the biggest difference is that the ABA's offensive time is 30 seconds instead of the NBA's 24 seconds.

In addition, the ABA league uses red, blue, and white colored balls instead of the traditional brown leather basketball used by the NBA, and this influence is still carried over to this day, and many sports malls still sell flower balls, and the three-color flower balls used in the NBA All-Star Game three-point contest also pay homage to the ABA.

The ABA was annexed to the NBA by agreement in 1976, and like the latter, the league has produced countless talented players, such as "Dr. J" Irving, George McGinnis, Rick Barry, George Gervin, etc., all of whom have had a glorious history in this league.

However, compared to Artis Gilmour, these stars are far inferior in terms of fame and combat effectiveness. At a time when Chamberlain ruled the NBA statistically, the ABA also had an exact ruler, and that was Gilmour, who was known as the ABA's god of war.

In the 1971 draft, the ABA defeated the NBA and persuaded Gilmour to participate in the ABA draft instead of the NBA draft, when the Kentucky Colonels won Gilmore in the draft and signed him to a 10-year, $2.5 million contract, which was a record contract at the time.

The Colonels' investment quickly paid off, and that season, Gilmore led the Colonels to 68 regular-season wins with a whopping 81 percent victory, and he averaged 23 per game. 8 points and 17. With 8 rebounds, he not only became the best rookie, but also was voted the most valuable player, which was exactly the same as Chamberlain in his rookie season.

For the next four seasons, Gilmour played in all of the competitions, leading the team to the play-off season each year. In the 1974-1975 season, he led the team to the finals again, completing the feat of winning the championship in a single core.

During Gilmour's five-year ABA career, he was the league's rebounding leader four times, twice leading the league in field percentage and blocks per game, and in each of those five seasons, he was named to the league's first team and four times to the league's All-Defensive team. He was named to the All-Star team five times and was named the Most Valuable Player at the 1974 ABA All-Star Game.

In the ABA of that era, Gilmour was an unstoppable existence, he was like Chamberlain but different from Chamberlain, not only his data was super vigorous, but he could also lead the team to win the championship, when Gilmour completely dominated the ABA, setting a number of records in the league.

Later, the ABA was disbanded and merged by the NBA, and Gilmour also joined the NBA to play.

During the ABA-NBA merger, four teams from the league – the Denver Nuggets, Indiana Pacers, New York Nets, and San Antonio Spurs – joined the NBA league, while some of the remaining teams, including the Kentucky Colonels, were on the verge of disbandment.

Prior to the disbandment of the Colonels, Gilmore played in the ABA Severance Draft, where he was drafted by the Chicago Bulls, who were 24-58 the previous season, in the 1976 Split Draft, and signed a three-year, $1.1 million contract.

However, in the NBA, Gilmore did not dominate in the ABA, and his stats dropped a bit after joining the higher level of the NBA, but he still scored 23 per game that season. 7 points, almost catching the highest record in the ABA.

His 250-game streak with the Bulls and his 420-game streak in his ABA career combined with a total of 670 consecutive appearances made him a veritable iron man. He was a six-time All-Star in 1977-1978. Despite his outstanding performances, Gilmore was not judged to be good, believing that although he was super capable, he was too gentle-tempered, and always responded with a smile rather than an angry response to a malicious foul from his opponent.

In today's terms, fans mock Gilmour for playing too soft.

Chamberlain also doesn't like Gilmour very much, he can know this guy, or because his grandfather and maternal grandfather are fans of Gilmore, and the two firmly believe that if Gilmour has the same temper as ****, he can create the same miracle as Wilt Chamberlain.

Faced with Chamberlain's doubts, Nelson Sr.'s answer was simple: "Mr. Gilmour is proficient in all the attacking methods of the box, he is a genius attacker, and he can teach you how to control your temper, I don't want to see you get a lot of technical fouls next season." Also, you learn Mr. Gilmore's regimen, and I hope you can fight him for as long. ”

One thing that Gilmour is tougher than Chamberlain and Russell is that as a center player, he played until he was 40 years old before retiring, and at the age of 36, he also reached the Finals as the team's main player, and he was even selected to the NBA's All-Star team that season.

But considering that Abdul-Jabbar's famous stunt is a sky hook, sometimes he doesn't dunk on the fast break but hooks up to the basket, then Gilmour, who is regarded as a traditional center, is obviously higher, because his attacks are actually launched and completed in the restricted area.

Seeing Chamberlain, Gilmour's face showed a gentle smile, and he took the initiative to stretch out his fist and said, "Look who is here, cute SUPER-Z, a handsome young man, a talented young man!" ”

Stretch out your hand and don't hit the smiling face, Chamberlain is famous for eating soft and not hard, Gilmour said this, he was embarrassed to show his disdain again, and quickly reached out to hit Gilmore's fist, and then said: "Artis, it's so unexpected to see you, my grandfather and grandfather are your fans, I watched your game video every day when I was a child!" ”

Since retiring, he has been active in his hometown of Chipry, Florida, engaged in community activities, and since last year, Gilmour has been working as a special assistant at his alma mater, responsible for various interpersonal relationships, and as a host of his alma mater's flagship television station, he is also a guest guest on the basketball entertainment show "Playing with Al Edward, who is in good health and tough."
