Chapter 761: Old Nelson's Hidden Worries
The role of Nelson Sr. in resting Chamberlain in the second quarter was shown in the fourth, and his near-limitless energy left opponents in deep despair.
On the offensive end, Chamberlain covers and then follows the dunk, and can also receive a pass after covering to score, of course, you can also score in an inside single, mid-range shot, hook hand, backward jump shot, violent dunk, and various offensive means emerge in endlessly.
Defensively, the box Chamberlain defended had become a no-fly zone, and he used two big hats to knock Beasley back to his prototype and not pay for his previous bravery. His card position made the Heat's interior always go nowhere, and Wade's breakthrough became hesitant.
In the first three quarters, the Heat kept chasing the score, and even once maintained a lead for more than ten minutes, but in the fourth quarter, the Warriors completely defeated it with a majestic 34-20.
At 105-89, Nelson Sr. looked at the final score on the scoreboard and laughed.
The fans were also satisfied, and they would have been more satisfied if the team hadn't collapsed in the fourth quarter. However, this collapse is predictable, their interior line is too weak, and no one can help Wade except Haslem.
Haslem's help is also limited to the defensive end.
But the flaws are not hidden, and this wonderful game will not lose its great significance because of some minor flaws in the fourth quarter, and after the game, the fans are still unsatisfied, even if the game goes into garbage time four minutes early, but no one leaves.
Heat fans in the NBA, known for their impatience and lack of loyalty, stayed until the end of the day, and after the game, they screamed and applauded the players.
The applause and cheers of the fans were the only consolation for the frustrated Wade.
Riley didn't feel any comfort, and when the game was over, he was about to leave with a gloomy face, and old Nelson beckoned from afar, "Pat, my old fellow, you're here today?" Damn, I'm blind, I didn't even see you! ”
Riley wanted to leave with a straight face, but the old Nelson chased after him with a big belly, and he was also a good off-ball runner when he was in the Green Shirts.
Old Nelson patted Riley on the shoulder affectionately, and said with a smile: "Forgive me, old brother, I didn't know you were coming, otherwise I would have let the little guy below close the points and win one or two points." ”
The reporters happily watched the two old guys meet together, the cameras and recorders were raised, and they waited for the two old men to stage a full martial arts parade on the spot.
But they were disappointed, old Nelson laughed all over his face, and then Riley suddenly smiled, hugged old Nelson and said: "You don't need to let the little guys below all retract, just don't send Z to play, then my team will definitely abuse you can't find North." ”
"I'm sorry, but my phone has a compass function." Nelson Sr. put his backhand around Riley and said, "I'm sorry to disappoint you, I didn't press Z to the bench, why should I press him on the bench?" My tactics revolve around him! ”
Riley patted Nelson Sr. on the back and whispered in his ear, "Okay, the season is over, I did lose, but we'll see you next season and I'll surprise you then." Your Z is very powerful, there is an opera in China, called Sanying vs. Lu Bu, Z is Lu Bu, I hope he can withstand my Sanying next season! ”
After saying that, Riley helped Nelson Sr. tidy up his messy shirt and suit, proudly raised his shiny head, and walked straight towards the players' tunnel.
The reporters were disappointed, not to mention that the two old men didn't do anything, and they didn't even hear what the two said.
Old Nelson looked at Riley's back intently, his brow furrowing slowly.
No one knows this old opponent better than him, although he has always expressed extreme disdain for Riley between words before, in fact, he still admires this old guy in some aspects, such as his ability to govern the army, such as his brainwashing level.
Old Nelson walked back to the locker room solemnly, the Warriors were joking excitedly, West found a newspaper and rolled it up as a microphone to interview Chamberlain: "Hello, Z, I'm ESPN's beautiful reporter Eva Andrews, did you get hit by the ball when you changed hands under your crotch?" Can I check it out for you? ”
Eva Andrews joined ESPN in 2004 and has gone from a young reporter covering ice hockey to a full-fledged all-rounder in basketball, football, baseball, and college basketball.
Once when she was hit by a baseball in a game covering MLB's New York Metropolitans, tens of thousands of fans in the stadium stood up and looked at her with concern, which shows her charm.
Andrews has been very popular recently, because a candid video appeared on the Internet, someone installed a pinhole camera in the bathroom of the hotel where she stayed, and then the video was revealed, and the New York Post also published three mosaic pictures taken from the video.
Iverson and the others were all gagging on the side, and the old Nelson frowned and pushed the group away, found Chamberlain and asked, "Z, what kind of three-British war Lu Bu does your country have?" What's going on? Tell me about it. ”
Chamberlain was inexplicable, I don't know why old Nelson suddenly asked this, did the old man want to watch "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", but he still gave a brief introduction: "Lu Bu is the most powerful general in the history of our country, he is eight feet tall and his chest is also eight feet, riding a red rabbit horse during the day and riding the first beauty at that time, Diao Chan, the first beauty at that time, is really enviable......
"BOSS, do you want to listen to yellow jokes? What I have here is. West smirked at old Nelson.
"Get out!" Old Nelson glared and shouted, and then said to Chamberlain, "The point is that Sanying, tell me their story!" ”
Jackson, Barnes and the others entangled West, pinched his neck and told him that if he wasn't afraid of handing over the storage disk, he would be killed.
Chamberlain had no choice but to explain: "Those are the other three particularly powerful generals, then Lu Bu is too powerful alone, and these three generals will join forces to deal with him." ”
Old Nelson nodded slowly, then he thought about it for a while, and suddenly said, "That old bastard Riley will definitely make a big move this summer!" He's going to dig people again, check it out for me, he must be a big character this time! ”
Although he didn't name the big guy, Nelson Sr. believes it must have something to do with the 2003 Golden Generation, because the big fish on the free market this summer are the big guys in the 2003 class whose contracts expired.
After listening to the old Nelson's words, Chamberlain and the others smiled and said: "No, BOSS, you think about it too much, how can superstars who are still at the peak of their life get together?" Unless they are shameless, what can Riley do to make them shameless? ”
Old Nelson said heavily: "That old guy, what he is best at is making people shameless!" ”
Chamberlain didn't understand, and Nelson Jr. explained: "The uniform team knows that Riley is the NBA's number one psychological master and speech master, and he is meticulous in his psychological observation of players, so he is almost invincible in recruiting superstars." ”
Old Nelson sighed: "Damn, what impresses me the most about this old guy is that although he often poachs stars, he never flatters the stars he likes. Then he explained, "Because he knows the "psychological weaknesses" of each star, he can always be targeted, and he can say that the other party is willing to vote in three or five sentences. ”
After that, the elder Nelson explained to Chamberlain and others how Riley had relied on this trick to dig into the corners of the wall over the years
In the summer of 1995, Riley became the head coach and president of the Heat, and it is well known that Riley, who advocates iron-blooded defense, likes strong muscular men the most, and hates soft-style jumpers. At that time, when Riley first arrived in Miami, as soon as he got off the plane, he decided to purge Rice, the team's core scorer at the time, and had already hatched a perfect overall plan. ”
Old Nelson shook his head and said, admiring Riley's cruelty.
Iverson laughed: "I do know about this, I entered the NBA in 1996. ”
After selling it, Iverson coughed and explained: "You rookies don't know that 1996 was the rarest free agent year in NBA history, with more than 160 people becoming free agents that year, the most well-known of which were Jordan, O'Neal, Mourning, Mutombo, and Juwan Howard. ”
Since then, with the addition of veterans such as Nelson Sr., Marbury, Iverson and Hill, some NBA secrets have appeared in the field of rookies such as Chamberlain, West, Curry and Ibaka.
Riley set his sights on Mourning, the third-best star in the free market, from the start, and plotted a Big Three plan around him.
Riley captured Mourning and forced the Hornets to ask for a trade, and after identifying Mourning's central position, Riley acquired Tim Hardaway, a stocky point guard, in a multi-player trade in the middle of the 1995-96 season.
With Mourning inside, Hardaway outside, and the Heat turned into a powerhouse in the East with two big trades, Riley was not satisfied, and has since formed a more balanced five-star lineup:
