Chapter 431: Do you want to make a documentary?
At the end of the game, Chamberlain got up from the bench and high-fived Iverson who was walking off the court to celebrate, Iverson was sweating profusely, with a satisfied smile on his thin face, he stretched out his arm and high-fived Chamberlain, hugged him and smiled: "It's so enjoyable, since I left Philadelphia, I haven't enjoyed it like today!" ”
Chamberlain also laughed loudly, and then arrogantly stretched out his hand and pointed to the ceiling of the sky and said loudly: "There is a chance, Aaron, there will be a chance in the future!" The season has only just started and we have 70 games like this to play! ”
112-94, the Warriors won on the road, Chamberlain played only 17 minutes, and in the fourth quarter he sat on the bench again, watching Iverson and West lead the team on a rampage to kill the Knicks.
The Madison Garden Plaza Arena was vacated early, and many fans didn't wait for the game to end, and some people began to leave the game from the middle of the fourth quarter.
Iverson played 35 minutes, scored 21 points, 10 assists and 3 steals on 8-of-18 shooting, West scored a game-high 28 points, Chamberlain's average score, ordinary 24 points + 11 rebounds, of which he scored 6 points in the first quarter and 18 points in the third quarter, in addition to 7 blocks, an average of more than two minutes to cap the Knicks with a ball, and the Knicks were distracted.
The Warriors won this game with ease, but it also had to do with the right time and place, and they were so lucky to meet the Knicks in their worst form since the start of the season.
Because of Marbury's contract problems, the Knicks' uniform team has a very bad relationship with the players, no matter what the relationship between the players is, after all, they are people who change clothes in a locker room and play on the court, and they are fellow players, of course, they are more towards Marbury, who is also a player, the team wants to buy out Marbury but has not given him money, and all the players are a little dissatisfied with the team, so when they play today, most people are messing around.
Crawford's score is high, but the reason is unknown, he has been put on the shelf by the Knicks, and now he has no scruples on the court, no matter what tactics your head coach arranges, I am a strong single, a strong shot, anyway, my own data is good-looking.
With the same purpose, there are also Randolph, Eddie Curry, Richardson, basically people who have big contracts but don't play in line with their value and strength are all in danger, D'Antoni is new to the office, there will definitely be layoffs and trades, they are the top nails in D'Antoni's eyes.
The Knicks have no tactics at all, they don't want to play any tactics, they just want to play as they want, and D'Antoni has just come to the Knicks, and there is no run-in between him and the players, how can the tactical players he arranged execute?
Iverson also has a similar situation, he didn't see all the tactics prepared by the old Nelson, but fortunately he was lucky to meet the blind Knicks today, and Iverson is also playing blindly, but his ability to fight is obviously stronger than the gang on the other side.
There was no conflict between the players on both sides, but they didn't defend in the later stage, and they were all very happy, Marbury also came to the scene in a suit, Iverson walked over and hugged him and said: "God bless you, brother, cherish it in the future, to be honest, the league has never been so cruel, I hope you can see the reality clearly, and do a better job in the team in the future." ”
Marbury went too far with the Knicks last season, and even all the fans complained, but he didn't do anything fundamentally bad, that is, he didn't play well with a big contract, and he also engaged in mountaineering in the locker room, making the Knicks locker room chickens and dogs.
Maddie is a bit similar to Marbury last season, but Maddie doesn't move in the locker room.
Marbury is also quite depressed now, he didn't expect things to get to this point, in fact, he was born on the street, like Iverson, he is a rebellious but grateful and heroic kind of person, Marbury was signed by Isaiah Thomas when he was the general manager of the Knicks, and he was given a super big contract under great pressure from many parties.
Marbury has always wanted to repay the smiling assassin, and he is trying his best to play when he is here, but unfortunately the assassin's tactical command ability is really limited, and he also has a problem with his vision, signing a lot of problem men. Later, the assassin was fired, Marbury still thought of his goodness, and deliberately made trouble with the head coach and general manager, which lasted for a long time, and he forgot the original intention of making trouble, and now it is purely for the sake of making trouble, so he has made a lot of rebellion.
Iverson's words made Marbury smile bitterly, and he asked, "Man, if I go to your team with a base salary, do you think it's possible?" ”
Marbury is now famous all over the league, but like Iverson, he has absolutely no problem with his combat effectiveness now, otherwise the Mavericks, Suns, and Celtics will not pursue him like ****, if he can use it well, he is definitely a bench bandit.
But Iverson knew what Marbury meant, and the guy wanted to be treated the same way he was and guaranteed a starting lineup. The answer really doesn't make the decision, and since he and Marbury are in the same position, the two can't be on the same team.
Marbury just asked if the Warriors weren't his first choice, and that he would rather go to the Celtics, who were the defending champions and who wanted to win a championship now.
Chamberlain hugged the players and was about to leave, but a middle-aged black man wearing a Knicks jersey stopped him and quietly asked, "Hey, Z, are you interested in coming to New York?" This is New York, the Big Apple, the center of the whole world, how about it, are you interested in being the boss here? ”
Chamberlain is very familiar with this person, and everyone who cares about the NBA knows him, this guy may be one of the most famous fans in the NBA, that is, Spike Lee, a die-hard Knicks fan, and a famous Hollywood director.
Spike Lee is not good at making commercial films, but about the kind of black films with more depth, he is known as the most black-conscious director in the United States, and his desire is to exclude real black films, and most of the themes he deals with are related to black people's outlets, awakening, and racial discrimination. His film style is as sharp as his life, sharp, fast-paced, explosive, and of course, this guy also has a great knack for making documentaries, and Jordan and Michael Jackson have both worked with him on this.
Chamberlain didn't have any interest in coming to New York, he shrugged his shoulders and said, "You still have to invite LeBron, that guy really wants to come here, I'm a native of the Golden State, and it's comfortable to stay in San Francisco." You can despise me, man, I'm not promising, and sweeping the alliance with a warrior's iron horse is my only hobby. ”
Spike does despise Chamberlain, but he despises him for pretending to be B, what does it mean that sweeping the alliance with a warrior is your only hobby? Isn't Lao Tzu just afraid that you will sweep the league with the team so I want to cooperate with you, grandma, if you are a fish belly and grass root miscellaneous fish, I won't pee on you.
The reality is cruel, Chamberlain is the person who is really qualified to lead the Knicks, at least in Spike's opinion, because although LeBron has comprehensive skills and a strong style of play, he is still a gentleman or a weak guy in his bones, Chamberlain's toughness is from the inside out, and the New York gangsters can only restore glory in his hands.
"I can help you make a documentary, Z, think about it, when you're going to retire in the future, wouldn't it be great to see what you looked like when you were younger? I could even make a documentary for you every season, how about coming to New York? Spike feels like he's going to grovel.
Chamberlain thought for a moment when he heard this, he thought for a while and said: "Your proposal is very good, making a documentary is really great, maybe it can even sell at the box office." Well, Spike, when you have time to help me make a documentary, I promise to work with you. ”
"Would you like to come to the Knicks, then?" Spike screamed in ecstasy when he heard Chamberlain agree to his offer, and a flood of excitement swept through every nerve in his body, if he could bring Chamberlain to New York, he would be a hero to all the fans in the city!
Chamberlain's words made his excitement fly out of the clouds: "Forget it, man, I still like to stay in San Francisco, but it doesn't stop us from making documentaries." It's a win-win, don't you see? And it's not just just one guy who is qualified to help me make a documentary, Director Spike, I'm giving you this honor. ”
Spike's face was frustrated, and he wanted to do his best work, but Chamberlain refused him: "Don't do this, man, come on, get out of the way, I'm going back to rest, damn it, we're flying to Minneapolis tomorrow and there's a game in the evening." I don't know who arranged the schedule, what a fucking idiot to arrange for us to play back-to-back between New York and Minneapolis. ”
If Yao Ming heard this, he would definitely cry, and the Rockets would also have to play back-to-back, and they would play the Philadelphia 76ers in the East and then fly back to the West to play the Timberwolves.
Although Iverson was unlucky to encounter back-to-back as soon as he came to the Warriors, it was more fortunate that the two opponents in the back-to-back were weaker, one was the Knicks in the twelfth place in the East, and the other Pacers had an even worse record, thirteenth in the East and third from the bottom.
The Pacers have a long history, they were founded in 1967 and became one of the founding teams of the ABA league, and in 1976 the NBA merged with the ABA and the Pacers moved to the NBA. In the 10 seasons since entering the NBA, the Pacers have struggled, making the playoffs only two seasons during that time.
In the 1987 draft, the Pacers selected Reggie Miller from UCLA with the 11th pick in the first round, and under the leadership of the sharpshooter who was not outstanding in athleticism, but had superb shooting skills and super mental quality, the Pacers gradually grew into a powerhouse in the East, and reached the Finals in the 1999-00 season, losing to the Los Angeles Lakers with the "OK" combination. At the end of the 2004-05 season, Miller announced his retirement, after which the Pacers gradually withdrew from the ranks of the Eastern Conference giants due to internal and external problems.
Like most teams in the league, the Pacers don't have a star, and Granger is a second-tier star who hasn't played an All-Star, he's a very good forward and has great athleticism, but he can't always play at a high level, and that's the best player for the Pacers.
The Pacers' current roster is lacking in bright spots, and every player on their roster is the kind of solid, very consistent professional player, which is in contrast to the Knicks: Granger's dedication to his duties, T. J. Ford is a ghost of speed, Jeff Foster is tough on the inside, and Roy Murphy is excellent on defense and rebounding, but they have a poor record.
But the Pacers are almost all role players, they're good, but they're some really good role players, so the Pacers always have no one to score when they need someone to step up and score, and no one to step up when they need someone to step up and lead the counterattack.
In the game, the Pacers are the kind of characters who have a balanced offense and defense but no ultimate, and the boss they can entangle with is very uncomfortable, but they can't kill the boss with one hit.
