If there are two scenes in Duncan's playoff career that can't be forgotten, I'm afraid they are the following two: In 1999, the Spurs played against the Lakers in the semifinals, O'Neal held the ball in the restricted area and then arched to the general, carried Duncan down and then dunked violently, this is one, followed by this encounter, Chamberlain was deceived by Ginobili and jumped up and immediately landed on the ground like a lightning second jump to block his stunner layup.

In both scenes, Duncan's performance is very different, after being knocked down by O'Neill in 1999, Duncan sat on the ground and was stunned for about ten seconds. This time he was hit by Chamberlain's death block, and Duncan slammed his fist on the floor in grief!

In seven games in the playoffs, facing an opponent like Duncan, Chamberlain, who was only 19 years old, frantically slashed 24. 8 points, 15. 5 rebounds, it can be said that he defeated the Spurs alone, and this is his first season in the NBA, if he matures in a few more seasons, and Duncan is going to get old, then how can the Spurs fight the Warriors?

Chamberlain's stunner block against Duncan became the first click on major video websites the next day, countless TV, newspapers and other media reported his feat, and countless experts and retired NBA stars came out to praise Chamberlain, except for the Celtics.

Compared to the first round against the Hawks, the Celtics faced the Eastern Shiro Magic, and the second round was much simpler.

Howard, known as the No. 1 center in the new generation of the league - Chamberlain had this name before his rise - was beaten very badly in the face of the old and spicy Garnett, who had seen the rookie Horford play so vigorously and easily in front of Garnett, Howard, who had beaten Horford several times in the regular season, was confident and thought that the wolf king was old and vulnerable.

As a result, from the first game to the fourth game, he was pressed and beaten by Garnett, and he was rounded by the Big Three a hundred times, a hundred times.

Before the game, fans and experts were optimistic that the Green Shirts would eventually eliminate the Magic and advance to the Eastern Conference Finals, but with the Hawks in front of them, they all thought that even if the Celtics could advance, it would definitely be a difficult progression, and it was very likely that they would play another seven games.

Because of the strong rise of Turkoglou and Lewis this season, the Green Shirts vs. Magic game is seen as a Big Three vs. Big Three: The Celtics' Big Three are Garnett, Ray Allen, and Pierce, while the Magic Big Three are Howard, Turkoglou, and Lewis.

Judging from the data, these two lineups are comparable and have their own merits, for example, Garnett is good offensively and defensively but is old, and he may not have an advantage in the face of Howard, who is in his prime, especially on the defensive end, Magic fans are optimistic that Howard can take care of Pierce and Junzi Ray on the premise of seeing Garnett die.

Pierce is very good, but Tekoglu is not bad, of course, the latter is much worse on the defensive end, but Tekoglu is not much worse than Pierce on the offensive end. As for the remaining position, Junzi Lei is just a simple shooter, nothing to be afraid of, Lewis is known as a big forward who attacks the kaleidoscope, and it is certainly easier to score closer to the hoop.

In the expectation of infinite beauty, the magic was swept away by 4-0, and the Green Shirts did not give them a chance and sent them home to fish.

Compared with the Green Shirts' easy sweep of the Magic, the other two teams in the East played much more fiercely - the Cavaliers led by the Little Emperor played seven games against the Pistons, the strongest Pistons in the East, and the Warriors and Spurs battled until the battle of the Kings Mountain was decided.

Unlike the Spurs and Warriors, the game between the Cavaliers and the Pistons is much weirder, and it can be summed up like this:

Hamilton: I have pull-up jumpers, catch-and-shoot jumpers, all sorts of jumpers!

LeBron: I'll respond!

Davis: I break through the ball, fast break with the ball, change direction!

LeBron: I'll respond!

Rashid: I shoot three-pointers, I block steals, I look up to the sky and roar!

LeBron: I'll respond!

McDyce: I'll just make a move, a back shot under the basket!

LeBron: TMD, where are my Kingsguards?!

After you win one game, I win the most after the Cavaliers finally won one more game, in the playoffs, the little emperor's courage became more and more obvious, the reason why the team was dragged by the Pistons for seven games, it can be said that it is a teammate CBA, if the little emperor had Parker, Ginobili or Billups, West such helpers, the messy Pistons would have been eliminated into the ravine.

Now Davis's life with the Pistons is not very good, the Pistons pay attention to discipline and are known as the first iron army in the East. Davis is the big brother of the gangsters whether he is in the Hornets or the Warriors, and this season is his contract year, and he is a fierce smashing of data, and there is constant chaos on and off the court, which makes the Pistons' uniform team extremely angry: Billups is fiercer than you, and there has never been any scandal.

In the past, when the Pistons played well, it was okay, and when the team had problems, Davis began to return to his old self, all kinds of shirking responsibility, all kinds of accusations, you must know that the players of the Pistons are not his former little BABY teammates, in the face of Davis's accusations, the Pistons gathered players several times to prepare to beat him, and finally ended under Hamilton's persuasion.

At this time, Rashid missed his Ben-Wallace brothers very much, if Big Ben was still there, without his move, just a look, someone would beat the hapless Davis into rotten meat.

The teams that will meet in the finals in the East are the Green Shirts and Cavaliers, while the West will be the Warriors and the Lakers.

The Lakers and Hornets played one round later than the Warriors and Spurs, so although the two teams only played six games in the end, the end time was still later than the battle between the Warriors and the Spurs, and the Lakers finally defeated the Hornets and re-entered the Western Conference Finals with a score of 4-2.

At this time, it has been four years since they last reached the Western Conference Finals, and in these four years, Kobe Bryant has led the team alone, and has never brought the Lakers into the second round of the playoffs, which is also one of the reasons why Hornets fans ridiculed Kobe Bryant for getting the MVP.

If Chamberlain hadn't been too young, he would have been the best candidate for the MVP — if Paul hadn't won the MVP, he would have taken the Warriors to new heights, but for Warriors fans, the playoff MVP would have been Chamberlain, although his playoff stats were slightly worse than in the regular season — which was reflected in rebounding and much higher scoring.

But so what, he's good enough!

No one cared that when Kobe Bryant led the team, his teammates were Smush Parker, Kwame Brown and the like, while Paul had West, Peja, and Chandler as teammates, and Chamberlain was assisted by Billups and Ellis, and of course added a West, as the team gave him more and more opportunities, his performance was getting better and better, if it weren't for his character flaws, some people would have called him 'Little Wade'.

On May 19, 2008, the Western Conference Finals officially opened, and on the 19th, a very explosive news appeared in Chinese mainland:

"Warriors Chinese-American star Chamberlain once again donated $10 million to the Wenchuan earthquake!" In this way, combined with the money he donated himself and the money donated by the champion on his behalf, the total amount of his donation to the earthquake this time has reached a terrifying 100 million yuan, which is the largest amount of money among all the people who donated in their personal name.

After this donation appeared, a foundation called the 'Z Fund' was officially established, and Li Qun became the CEO of the Z Fund, and the 100 million yuan donation related to the Wenchuan earthquake was reviewed and invested by her.

For this donation, Chamberlain didn't know anything beforehand, when Li Qun told him about the Z Fund, his shock was similar to that of domestic fans: 10 million US dollars, now his net worth is less than half of this amount, although he has the heart to help the victims of the Wenchuan earthquake, but he has never made such a big deal!

Richards then visited, and after the two met, Chamberlain understood the cause and effect of the matter, except for this rich second generation, who else would have the money and leisure to donate to him? However, Chamberlain was a little uncomfortable about Richards' appointment of Li Qun as the CEO of Z Fund, after all, he was young and emotionally immature.

In his love life, Chamberlain is a hungry puppy, Li Qun is a meat bone, of course he doesn't want this meat bone to have any accidents, and Richards is another dog who creates accidents in his opinion. Of course, in the eyes of outsiders, this Chamberlain is unfounded.

Indeed, maybe both of them are puppies, but Richards' dog has countless dog foods, and now he has given Chamberlain a lot of puppies, no matter where you look at it, Richards should not be interested in Li Qun's meat and bones.

But Chamberlain stubbornly believes that this is not the case, as for the reason, it can only be said that although dog food is delicious, it does not taste the same as meat and bones.

Richards put his position very low, and this time after making an appointment with Chamberlain through Li Qun, he apologized to Chamberlain as soon as they met, and apologized for the last reckless encounter.

This made Chamberlain more vigilant, he was courteous and holigent, and Richards' performance reminded him of a sentence he saw on the Internet: "Since the first time I saw your daughter-in-law, I decided to be your brother." ”

But Richards' later words forced him to hold back his displeasure: "I'm going to buy the Warriors, Z, I've got Mr. Nelson's support in this matter, and Mr. Gottlieb has supported me in doing so." ”

Chamberlain thinks this kid is demonstrating to himself and showing off his wealth, what's the matter, do you mean I'm going to work for you? For this matter, because he was mentally prepared, he was not surprised, and said: "Then whatever you want, Mr. Rich, as long as you have the reason and enough strength, you can also buy the entire NBA." ”

Richards' eyes were blazing, he looked at Chamberlain, and he said bluntly: "The acquisition of the Warriors is my sports dream when I was a child, and it is also a test for my family, I will build a team around you, Z, because I believe that as long as you are the core, the team will become the world's first-class club!" ”

"Xie Lu, thank you for your compliment, I dare not take it." Although he said so, in fact, Chamberlain was full of pride, and he had this confidence.

Richards smiled and said, "But there are a lot of people who don't know what to do, and those people are the current Warriors rulers, and those people just want to make money from you, and they don't want this team to stay famous for a thousand years, do you understand what that means?" This means that they won't pick teammates for you who are worthy of your abilities, and if you have teammates who have become strong enough, they won't renew them with big contracts like Billups and West to save money. ”

Chamberlain understood what Richards meant, and believed that he was right, so he asked, "Well, what exactly do you want me to do?" Let's be honest, there's no need to beat around the bush again! ”

Richards cocked up his fingers and smiled: "What you have to do is very simple, now there are some people who hold shares in the club who don't want to transfer them to me, and I need your help, I need you to help me convince these people to sell their shares to me." ”
