Under the soaring progress of the Warriors, the SuperSonics quickly retreated, and this kind of rookie-centric team is always prone to the problem of defeat. Previously, with Durant in the first quarter, the SuperSonics seemed to be omnipotent, but when the Warriors hit the SuperSonics hard in the second quarter and slammed down at the start of the second half, the team collapsed.

The downwind ball is played like a god, the upwind ball is played like a dog, and the Warriors have had this problem in the past, and this is a scene that a young team has to go through.

At the end of the game, the Warriors took a victory from the SuperSonics with a large score advantage of 115-91.

Even after the game, some fans still stayed in their seats and looked at the court, Chamberlain and Durant hugged affectionately, seeing this scene a little puzzled, and asked Durant with a smile: "Are they waiting to get our autograph?" The Seattle fans are so passionate! ”

Durant sneered and didn't answer, old Nelson stared deeply at these people, and sighed: "They're not taking your autographs, Z, they are the real backbone of this team, they are carving every scene on the court into their hearts!" This game may be the last game our Warriors will play in Seattle, and the next time we will go to Oklahoma City. ”

The elder Nelson has this sentiment because the Warriors are now facing a similar dispute, and the team's uniform team dislikes the lack of popularity in Oakland and wants to move the team to San Francisco. Even though Oakland and San Francisco are only separated by a bridge, it's a fact that is hard for some die-hard fans to accept.

Chamberlain had just come to the Warriors, and he was a San Franciscan, and he didn't have a sense of belonging to Oakland to embody the old Nelson.

Durant took off his jersey, revealing his dry upper body, handed it to Chamberlain, and said, "Z, swap jerseys?" ”

Not only is there a tradition on the football field, but also on the basketball court, when a player meets someone he admires, he will take the initiative to ask for the ball to change his jersey. The most shocking scene for fans is that after the last meeting between the Timberwolves and the Spurs last season, Garnett and Duncan exchanged No. 21 jerseys.

Garnett and Duncan entered the NBA in 95 and 96, both are big forwards, both are the core of the first team, and they are both wearing the No. 21 jersey, the two are indeed lifelong rivals, and even can achieve today's achievements, the two of them have to thank each other, because each other, they are each other's great opponents.

Chamberlain deserves Durant's do, as he walked the talk, playing 41 minutes in the game and stealing 25 rebounds, breaking Garnett's rebounding record at the Key Arena. In addition, he scored 16 points on 7-of-7 shooting, along with six blocks and four assists.

Durant was the game's leading scorer, scoring 28 points and dispelling out seven assists and five rebounds on 10-of-24 shooting.

This is the end of this rookie king battle, fans on both sides are satisfied, Chamberlain's performance is worthy of his honor as the first candidate for best rookie award, and Durant has proved that he is worthy of being the core of the SuperSonics.

The two stood together with their chests exposed, each propping up each other's jerseys, and the reporters took pictures frantically and left a group photo of the two.

Judging from the data, the height difference between Durant and Chamberlain is not large, but after the two stand together, it looks not small, one is because Durant is a little hunched and Chamberlain's body is as straight as a spear piercing the sky, and the other reason is that Chamberlain is as strong as a lion, the upper body muscles are rough and powerful, the crystal sweat is all over the body, and the lights are shining, like a god of war wearing gold armor, and it looks tall and mighty.

For the media and fans, this game is just two super newcomers competing for the rookie king, compared to Kobe, Iverson, Yao Mai combination, James, Wade, Cameron and other superstar events, the attraction is still worse.

But when he got up the next day, Chamberlain found that there were many newspapers and magazines that reported his news, and several life magazines used him as the front page headline.

Chamberlain got on the team's plane, and the old Nelson sat down and punched him, and smiled with satisfaction: "Well done, boy, that's all!" ”

After saying this, the old man left, and Jackson came over again, also punched him, and nodded: "You are a role model, Z, the Warriors will have a bright future in your hands." ”

Barnes also sighed: "Compared to Z, it seems like we've all become bad boys? ”

Harrington turned around and scolded: ", you're a bad boy, I'm just like Z, I'm an elegant gentleman, a social benchmark, and a youth role model!" ”

Chamberlain was inexplicable, and it turned out that someone handed him a newspaper, and he understood what was going on.

The California Observer was the first to run a news story that Chamberlain had a broken highway stop sign on his way to his house, and instead of trespassing on the road in defiance of traffic regulations, he called the Highway Authority and waited until the maintenance worker repaired the stop sign before driving away.

There is also a picture of this news, that is, a photo of Chamberlain squatting on the side of the highway looking at the stop sign light, this photo was obviously not taken with a camera, but taken with a mobile phone, not very clear, but the photographer is a master photographer, focusing on portraying Chamberlain's indifferent expression and deep gaze, which makes people feel very good.

The California Observer is a general newspaper that is well-known throughout California and sells throughout the West Coast, but its coverage tends to be civil and financial. The reason why this news was widely reprinted by major media as soon as it appeared was because this news was written by Alden, the editor-in-chief of the "California Observer Daily", and Alden swore that this was not hype, but his personal experience.

Using his mobile phone to search for Alden's photo, Chamberlain had the impression that this person was the middle-aged driver of the Audi A6L that came later.

Alden later interviewed fellow Mayflower movers who praised Chamberlain's performance and claimed that they would make their children fans of Chamberlain because he was a role model to follow. The Mayflower employees were able to praise Chamberlain so much, thanks to Winnie, because she gave these employees a generous tip, so when a reporter interviewed them, how could these people not desperately say good things about Chamberlain?

Not only China but also the United States pays attention to this set.

The news diluted the impact of Chamberlain's previous malicious foul on Bowen, and the NBA president's office negotiated with the referee union to cancel Chamberlain's second-degree malicious foul.

Chamberlain didn't expect that a small thing he did casually would have such a big impact, and this impact continued, at noon the plane landed at San Francisco Airport, a large number of fans gathered, of course, most of them are Chinese fans, these people's self-made cards are very national: a good example of China!

That night, Nelson Sr. informed Chamberlain that the Warriors had negotiated with the NBA president's office to nominate him for the 'American Sportsmanship Award', which, by the way, only four active NBA players had ever received the honor, and only one had managed to break through and win the award, and that person was the NBA's infamous Bruce Bowen.

The reason why this news can have such a big impact is mainly because of the NBA's behind, with the exposure of the Auburn Hills palace brawl, the Eagle County incident, the black whistle incident and other things that damage the image of the NBA, the current American professional basketball team urgently needs to improve its sunny image, and what Chamberlain did contributed to this opportunity.

Of course, this is also related to Alden's report, the "California Observer Daily" has a considerable influence in the United States, and Alden is known as the "mouthpiece of American citizens", he is famous for not making fake news, and this kind of person's report will of course attract more attention.

There has always been such a tradition in the American sports world, no athlete dares to collude with the media to create fake news in order to win a good reputation, there is no impermeable wall in the world, once this kind of thing is exposed, the reputation of the athlete in this life will be ruined, and the media will be even more serious, and bankruptcy is possible.

Once the American media loses credibility, there will be no market.

A more important impact of this report is that Li Qun was able to leave Beijing early for the United States, and her Beijing branch of the Asia-Pacific region of Sports Weekly wanted to cooperate with Chamberlain to do an exclusive interview, and Li Qun was the one who could complete this task.

Because of the change of housing, Chamberlain went to San Francisco International Airport to pick him up, and it was Winnie who took him.

Chamberlain was already thinking about getting a driver's license, he couldn't get a driver's license because of physical reasons, and there was no need for that, his family's financial situation was not good, he had no money to buy a car, and it was useless to get a driver's license unless he became a bus driver, and with Chamberlain's tall physique, of course, no transportation company would hire him.

In fact, Chamberlain didn't want to take Winnie to meet Li Qun, he was not an idiot, and it was not a good thing for him to see two beautiful women. But he couldn't help it, except for Winnie, he had no available driver, Sudmons was busy supporting Obama's withdrawal from Iraq, and the other players were resting at home, so that his acquaintances were left with his family, but because of the drastic changes in his body, Chamberlain has been avoiding seeing his family, but fortunately, he used to be crazy outside, and his family did not come to him.

Chamberlain is now a star and is inconvenient to appear in public, so the task of picking up the airport was given to Winnie.

When she arrived at the airport, Winnie sat in the driver's seat and didn't move, and Chamberlain handed her a card and said cautiously: "That, Winnie, can you help me get out of the box to pick up someone?" ”

Winnie glanced at the cards and said with a puffed cheek, "I'm your personal trainer, not your life secretary." ”

Chamberlain hurriedly lowered his posture: "Please, help, it's inconvenient for me to go out now." Such a man, even if I owe you a favor, no matter what you ask me to do for you in the future, I will agree, go up the knife mountain and go down to the oil pot, and I will not give up! ”

Winnie glanced at the card again, her eyelashes jumped quickly, and said, "Deal, but I can't take this card." ”

"For what?" Chamberlain was stunned, you don't take cards, Li Qunzhi said who is picking her up?

Winnie patted the steering wheel impatiently and said, "It's not for anything, if you don't take the cards, you won't take it!" ”

At 9:50 a.m., the flight from Beijing to San Francisco arrived on time, Li Qun, wearing a small windbreaker, appeared at the exit with a milky suitcase, and Winnie held a card with Li Qun's name in her hand, waiting outside with an indifferent face.
