Chapter 113: A New Era
Wade's right shoulder poked forward, but his right leg took a strange step forward to the left, Barnes subconsciously retreated to the side and back, but was deceived away, Wade took a step to shake off Barnes, rushed into the penalty area at a gallop, jumped up and waved in the air.
"Smack!" With a muffled sound, the ball flying in mid-air was intercepted by the waist, and the ball was shot down directly from the air like a meteor, and Chamberlain's zero jersey flew against the wind, guarding the Warriors' no-fly zone with his terrifying interception ability.
Haslem held the ball and hit it back, Chamberlain put his arm on the back of the Haitian water monster and slowly retreated, Haslem shook left and right, went around to the basket and turned to play the board.
"Smack!" There was another muffled sound, the ball flew down again, and Chamberlain kept recoiling and accumulating, waiting for such a moment.
Penny Anfernee Hardaway was not convinced, dragged a pair of old legs to the bottom line and sneaked to the basket, he first gave Haslem a look, and after his teammates helped him jam Chamberlain, he reached for the ball, but to be on the safe side, he still exited the box before making a quick stop jumper.
Chamberlain, who had been stuck behind Haslem, took a step, and the former was shocked and followed the straddle to continue to stop him, but Chamberlain quickly pulled back his left foot after the straddle, and pushed Haslem vigorously to push him away, rushing out of the right side and rushing straight in front of Hardaway.
Once like Hill, Penny Hardaway was also expected to be the successor of the gang leader, and the two of them were at their peak as an unsolvable existence on the outside, even if they were not as good as Joe's gang leader, it also had its own uniqueness. The same fate, both of them were trapped by injuries, and they were the last to be ignored.
Hardaway didn't expect Chamberlain to react so quickly and move so quickly, he jumped up and was just about to shoot, he saw the opponent overwhelmingly coming to him a dark cloud, and he was a little hesitant to make a move, in order to avoid being blocked, he subconsciously raised the starting point of the projection.
Although Chamberlain didn't block Hardaway, the ball flew too high and bounced off the neck of the basket, Chamberlain turned around, and Haslem tried to jump, only to be right above his head, with a long strong arm stretched out and picked the ball off the back.
Fuck, isn't that bullying? Haslem wants to cry without tears!
This mentality is also the mentality of all the interior lines of the Heat team after O'Neal is off the court, Chamberlain not only has done his best defense, but also began to exert his power frequently on the offensive end, and the opponents who played were miserable.
O'Neal's heavy pressure became the last key to unlock Chamberlain's offensive shackles, and his hard work and hard work over the past few days exploded, and the back singles under the basket became decent, and the mid-range shot also maintained a certain accuracy.
As a result, fans at American Airlines Center Stadium continue to see the following desperate scenes:
Chamberlain received the ball at the free throw line, and no one came up to defend him, because he gave the opponents the impression that he was an offensive guy who knew nothing but dunks. As a result, Chamberlain jumped high, shook his wrist softly, and hit the shot!
Chamberlain was in place under the basket, received the ball with his back to Haslem, struggled hard to hit a few steps in a row, suddenly turned around to the basket, raised his hand to hit the board, and hit!
Ellis attacked with the ball, Chamberlain covered him to block Wade, after forming a misalignment, Ellis passed the ball to him, Chamberlain got the ball and rushed to the inside, Haslem and Dorrell Wright hurriedly came up to wrap up, Chamberlain ignored the defense of the two, strode into the penalty area, and bumped into the two to come up with a violent split.
Haslem launched a kraft candy press on Chamberlain, who reached out to jam him, grabbed the ball with one hand and turned suddenly, and stepped over Haslem in one step, the latter stepped back in shock, Chamberlain retracted his long legs, and also stepped back, widened the distance, stabilized his body a little, and jumped up and projected.
Hit! Hit! Hit! Or hits!
In the third quarter, taking advantage of O'Neal's absence, Chamberlain, who had no opponent, became a top player on both ends of the Warriors' offense and defense, and blew up the Heat's interior line.
Haslem is the most unlucky one, he is much inferior to Chamberlain in height and weight, and the latter is bullied, Chamberlain can beat him in the penalty area, and he can still beat him in the high position, the confidence of the Haitians has been lost by him, if there are no 20,000 fans in the stadium watching, I am afraid he will cry.
The Heat can't help it, there is no interior line available, O'Neal needs to rest, and the fourth quarter is the time for the big showdown. Another inside lineman, Alonzo Mourning, was put on the freeze list the other day with a knee injury, and only one Haslem is not bad.
Pat Riley looked at a group of veterans on the bench and then at the energetic Chamberlain on the pitch and shook his head in his heart. When it was time to rebuild, the godfather-looking El Pacino made up his mind that one era was over, and he would create another with his own hands.
But who will fight this little tyrannosaurus? Riley looked at Chamberlain, who was invincible on the field, with some sadness, and fell into depression for a while.
He has a plan in mind to rebuild the Heat, and this plan has a certain feasibility, but the implementation of this plan requires a certain amount of time to buffer. He believed that once this plan was successfully implemented, it would be absolutely shocking, and he was sure that as long as this plan was successfully implemented, he would create a dynasty.
But today he is a little uncertain, Chamberlain's dominance in the penalty area is too strong, and his physical fitness is so good, fast, tough, bouncing stick, flexible, if he develops the ability of mid-range shooting, long-range shooting, pull-up jump shots and the like, then he can dominate not only the penalty area, but also the outside.
Riley lacks a person who is dominant on the inside, in fact, there is a shortage of teams in the whole league now, and those who have the inside line win the world, how can the god operator who has been in the league for thirty or forty years not understand this truth?
Thinking of this, he looked at O'Neill and Mourning with regret, these two people, any one of them who is ten years younger, to keep his body healthy, that with Wade on the outside, it is definitely easy to establish a dynasty.
In the third quarter, Chamberlain set a new personal record, he scored 16 points in and out, which is his single-quarter scoring record, and there is no doubt that he will be able to set his own single-game scoring record in today's game, which has reached 34 points so far, and this time there are still 12 minutes to go until the end of the game.
In the fourth quarter, O'Neill undoubtedly returned, and the big shark looked at Chamberlain lazily, with an expression of 'you're going to be unlucky', and said, "Rookie, that's all you have, right?" I was able to brush up on a few points while I wasn't there. Your good days are over, and Daddy Shaq is coming to teach you a lesson! ”
Seeing O'Neal's huge body reappear on the court, the fans in the American Airlines Center arena let out excited cheers, they really made Chamberlain miserable in the third quarter, the team still had a 20-point advantage at the end of the first half, and in the third quarter, under the leadership of Chamberlain, they only chased a 4-point advantage, becoming 88-84.
O'Neal played, Wade had to get off the court, the Flash fought for thirty-six minutes in a row, and the iron man couldn't stand up so polishing, not to mention that he had been injured, whether it was his shoulder or knee, the injury was very serious, and now he has not healed.
The cheers of the Heat fans only lasted for a few minutes before they disappeared, and they were desperate to find that the big shark O'Neal couldn't restrain Chamberlain!
In just one quarter, it is impossible for O'Neal to recover the physical strength overdrawn in the first half, after all, he is thirty-six or seventeen years old, and as an insider, this age should be retired.
If O'Neill had been more leisurely, he might have been able to last longer, but the problem was that he was bent on teaching Chamberlain a lesson in the first half, and he even used the strength to feed, and if he didn't play in the third quarter, it wasn't because he was lazy, but because he was really weak and powerless.
Chamberlain is still that lively, and because he finds his touch on the outside, he no longer just shrinks inside, but constantly runs in the high position, helps his teammates cover, finds opportunities to shoot, and enters the basket to attack if there is no opportunity.
Without strength, even the iron man has to become a pile of scrap iron, and O'Neill has lost the majesty of the first half and has become a pile of fat. He could cause trouble for Chamberlain, after all, it would be uncomfortable for anyone to have three hundred and fifty pounds of fat on him, but he couldn't blow Chamberlain up.
Ellis's breakthrough and Chamberlain's basket beat O'Neal to a hook hand, and the Warriors tied the score, and the Heat's score advantage accumulated in the first half was all gone.
The Heat fans got nervous, and Pat Riley could only call a timeout and replace Wade, who was resting on the bench every few minutes.
Nelson Sr. poured oil on the fire as he switched on the Warriors' youngest lineup, with Chamberlain leading O'Briant, Ellis, Azubuke and Luis. This lineup is the complete opposite of the Heat, who are over thirty-four years old except for the Flash, and they are all old guys.
O'Neal was replaced by O'Briant, and what Chamberlain had to do was run wildly and fire around while attacking.
The Warriors' attacking tempo suddenly increased, and Luis showed his lightning-fast breakthrough and pushing ability, and under his leadership, the Warriors players continued to increase their speed, dragging O'Neal and the old guys very badly.
At this critical moment, Wade stepped up again and showed his strength as the contemporary leader of the 03 Golden Generation, Azubuuk's defense was like a sieve to Wade, even if the latter was exhausted, and after the breakaway, Wade hit consecutive shots to stabilize the Heat's situation.
Old Nelson threw a punch hard, which was a deployment that only attacked and did not defend, and continued to increase the pace of the attack.
Luis passes to Azubuuk, who breaks through Wade, the Flash is using the best bit of strength in his body, this is really a fight rather than a simple game, he withstands Azubuuk's breakthrough and stabs the ball in the latter's hand, picks up the ball and rushes to the frontcourt, and throws it well.
The Warriors immediately returned one, Luis rushed to the frontcourt, Chamberlain responded at the free throw line, he broke through the ball to the latter, and after getting the ball, Chamberlain made a jumper - today he felt hot on the outside, making the Heat rumored, and seeing that he was about to shoot, Haslem rushed out.
Chamberlain shook a shot to retract the ball, rushed into the penalty area to face O'Neill, his body went forward fiercely, the big shark was tired and weak, this time he really couldn't stand it, he staggered and was knocked back, Chamberlain raised one arm, his slender body was like a rocket soaring into the sky, and the Statue of Liberty one-arm buckled!
