Chapter 4: These people on this team

Chamberlain slapped the basketball quickly, his eyes blazing at the court in the training hall. I saw that on the court, two teams of big men in red and one yellow were fighting against each other, and the 'squeak' sound of plastic soles rubbing against the floor sounded continuously, coupled with the 'clang' sound of muscle impact, and the human ears were tortured in this environment.

Monta Ellis, Byron Davis, Michael Petrus, Kailana Azubuuk, Matt Barnes, Biedrins, Al Harrington...... Chamberlain's mind is full of familiar names, as a native of San Francisco, how can he be unfamiliar with the Warriors' players?

The NBA, this is the NBA! Chamberlain was so moved that he was about to cry, he never imagined that one day he could make his dream come true and really enter the NBA, which represents the highest level of basketball in the world!

Excited, Chamberlain's force was inevitably a little too large, and as a result, he accidentally smashed the ball out of the ball and hit a strong man not far from him whose hair seemed to have been gnawed by a dog.

The strong man turned his head fiercely, revealing a standard terrorist appearance, with cross-cut eyebrows, yaksha eyes, a large mouth that was wide and wide, and slightly pouted forward, and the whole person looked like a wild boar that was ready to choose someone to devour.

"Boy, were you smashing me with a basketball just now?" The strong man jumped up from the floor and rushed to Chamberlain and asked.

"Stephen Jackson?!" Chamberlain exclaimed in surprise, he ignored the other party's murderous eyes, grabbed the opponent's big hand and shook it excitedly, "You are my idol, Stephen, you are my favorite player." ”

Jackson prides himself on being ruthless, and his hometown is Porter Arthur, Texas, which is home to Porter Arthur Prison, a famous prison for felons in the United States. There were a large number of people who had been released from prison in that small town, so the people were fierce, and they often talked with their fists and feet when they encountered disputes.

In this environment, Jackson's character is of course needless to say, it is standard ferocity, and in the '04 Auburn Hills palace brawl, he was the only player on the Pacers team who actually hit someone, and was suspended for a season for it, and since then he has had the nickname 'Martial Saint', which is evident in his bravery and skill.

But when Chamberlain's hand was grasped, he could not pull it out, and as Chamberlain shook his hand, he felt as if he were a small boat in the ocean.

Damn, this little rabbit cub has so much strength, it's not easy to deal with, Jackson subconsciously had such a thought in his heart.

But there is no one in the world who doesn't like to listen to good words, especially a temperamental person like Jackson, hearing Chamberlain's praise, he looked up to the sky and snorted, and said triumphantly: "Boy, don't think that I will forgive you if you pat me on the back." But even if you know each other, Lao Tzu is banned today, so I won't clean you up! ”

Yes, Jackson was banned for not so long ago, on the night of October 24, 2007, when Jackson went to a bar by himself to drink, and as a result, his wallet was stolen from the bar, and when he had no money to pay the bill, he went directly to the bar security.

Although this incident was finally suppressed by the operation of Warriors general manager Mullin and not exposed by the media, in order to warn other players, Jackson was hung up as a typical example: a total of five team suspensions and two regular suspensions.

Jackson was straight, and when Chamberlain asked him why he didn't play in training, he told him what was wrong.

Chamberlain's genes are also full of violent factors, it is said that people's personality is directly related to their physical fitness, the weaker the body, the more yearning for violent life, so he is upset about it: "Brother Wu Sheng, you are really more wronged than Dou E, I almost got into a fight with the gang of dishes B in the bar last night, damn, what the hell, if I didn't run fast, then they would definitely not be able to escape my beating......"

Jackson's mind was a little spinning, what do you mean that if you don't run fast, the bar security guard will be beaten? But his focus is not on this, but on the starting point of things like fights.

Hearing that Chamberlain had a similar experience, he asked with great interest: "Brother, how did you get into trouble with them?" Also, who is Dou E? Can you eat it? ”

, boss, you are uneducated, Chamberlain slandered in his heart, but he is very good at being a man, so he avoided the important and said lightly: "You can eat, you can eat, I will invite you to eat when I turn back." As for how we got into the conflict, hehe, here's how it happened......"

So, in Chamberlain's mouth, a scene comparable to blockbusters such as "Die Hard", "The Expendables", and "First Blood" appeared: an elegant Oriental guy was drinking and writing poetry in a bar, and several local thugs were molesting a lonely girl......

Chamberlain is eloquent, so the opening story of "Smiling Proud Jianghu" is very wonderful, and Jackson listens to it with relish, and applauds a few times from time to time, which really gives Chamberlain enough face as a storyteller.

“…… In this way, ten steps to kill one person, thousands of miles without leaving behind, after an hour-long run, we finally got rid of those flies-like thugs. Chamberlain ended his story with a leisurely sigh.

Jackson blinked his bull's eyes like brass bells and asked, "Then did you do that girl?" ”

"Which chick?" Chamberlain is messy, this guy's thinking is really different from ordinary people, what is he concerned about?

Jackson handed Chamberlain a 'men understand' look, and said with a lewd smile: "Of course it's the woman you rescued......"

……

The reason why this scene happened was because Nelson Sr. didn't believe it at all after watching his fitness profile test, so he sent his son Donnie Nelson, who is also one of the team's assistant coaches, to take Chamberlain to another fitness test.

As a result, this time the physical fitness test has not ended, only the basic items have been measured, and other things such as fat content, lung capacity, bone age, etc. have not yet begun, so little Nelson quickly found the old Nelson and told the old man Samael in disbelief that the data provided by Samael was real.

Then the elder Nelson didn't say a word, and immediately brought Chamberlain to the training gym, and he promised Samael that as long as Chamberlain knew that basketball was round, then he would be willing to offer the kid a contract.

Of course, this is an exaggeration, who doesn't know that basketball is round? Nelson Sr. meant that as long as Chamberlain had been trained in basketball, even if it was just playing basketball, then he would be willing to sign this guy to his team.

Nelson Sr. was so desperate to get a good interior player that he led the team to a 4-1 win over the Mavericks in the 2006-2007 season, when he led the team to the Western Conference playoffs with the Black Eight Miracles.

In this series, the Warriors' lack of a strong interior line was amplified indefinitely, and the interior line of Boozer and Oku roamed the Warriors' restricted area, almost beating the only available interior lineman under Nelson Sr. Andris Biedlings.

This past is definitely the most unbearable past for Nelson Sr. in the past season, so as soon as the season ended, he told the team that he must strengthen the interior line, and he must get him the kind of interior line he wants, who can run, jump and rush.

Chamberlain is such an inside line, his speed, his bounce, his strength, judging from the data, he is the most terrifying of the active players in the NBA, even if it is put in the history of the NBA, it is also among the best!

Nelson Sr. was an anxious boy, and he couldn't wait to see Chamberlain's performance, so much so that he was not in the mood to watch the latter show what basic skills such as shooting, dribbling, and layups, so he went to the training hall and asked the team's trainer Dale Mondstad to take Chamberlain to warm up before the game.

Under the leadership of Dale Monds, the Warriors' second physical trainer and the team's chief trainer who has not yet returned, Chamberlain has performed off-ball training such as jogging, fast running, squatting, fast jumping, and continuous jumping, and then has carried out ball training such as crotch dribbling, jogging with the ball, and running with the ball.

The training time is eight minutes, which is a bit short, but the old Nelson can't wait, if he waits any longer, I'm afraid he will have prostate cancer (the old man only had prostate cancer surgery in 2005).

Mondstadt brought the warm-up Chamberlain to Old Nelson as quickly as he could, and said in amazement, "My God, Don, where did you get such a strange guy?" Why have I never heard of such a person? If MJ (Joe's Gang Leader) is the God of the court, this lad is the Satan of the court! ”

Samael seems to enjoy Mondstadt's metaphor, and is amused to hear the latter's compliment. Since entering the training hall, he has been sitting on the ground of the training hall on all fours, holding the large barrel of energy drinks that the players drink in his arms, drinking one cup after another.

Chamberlain felt that Samael's behavior was too earthy, and he despised it fiercely in his heart, and then went up to find a clean cup and began to drink wildly: it was all tears, the young man's family conditions were really not good, and he had not drunk this kind of functional drink.

Old Nelson stopped the hot players who were playing, and he waved his arms and roared, "Come on, stinky boys, get here!" Don't think I don't know what you did when I wasn't there, I had a camera in my training tube! Don't pretend to be courteous when you see me coming, get here, I'll introduce you to a new teammate......"

Chamberlain thinks that the old Nelson is a character, this trash talk seems to be a slippery mouth, I heard that trash talk has become a culture in the NBA, and he feels that this is true after watching the performance of the old Nelson.

was scolded so badly by old Nelson, but the players were not disgusted, they laughed and ran over.

When everyone, including Jackson, gathered around, old Nelson cleared his throat and pulled Chamberlain to introduce: "This is Chamberlain, a very good young man, and he will soon come on the court to play a training match with you." Come, everyone applauds and welcomes. ”

After saying that, old Nelson nodded to Chamberlain and motioned for him to introduce himself.

Chamberlain also cleared his throat, and then exchanged a bunch of white eyes, he didn't care, and introduced himself: "My name is Chamberlain, you can also call me Z, I am 19 or 20 years old this year, my hobby is basketball, from ......"

Everyone clapped their hands weakly, and before he finished speaking, they began to express their welcome speeches:

Barnes: "What a stupid hat to play without even knowing your age?" The NBA is a fucking professional basketball league, not a league of fools, and here are you not afraid of being beaten with your own two balls? I advise you to go 10 kilometers to turn left outside the door, there is an SB Union. ”

Al Harrington: "Nobody cares where you're from, you'll be back in five minutes anyway." ”

Davis: "Why is the kid so shameful?" Protect your ass when you get on the pitch and don't get kicked by us. ”

Ellis: "He's tall enough, good, come on, I'm optimistic that you can grab a rebound on Biedrins' head." ”

Biedrins: "Boy, you're going to die, I'm going to torture you." ”
