Time passes quietly like water.

Su Dongpo once left a beautiful lyric that has been famous throughout the ages: "Life is like a dream, and a bottle of wine will pour out the moon in the river."

Shakespeare also said: "Life is like a performance. We are actors and God is the director."

Yes, God is the director of the joys and sorrows of the world. He sits high above the clouds and overlooks all living beings, manipulating the life path of someone or a group of people as he wishes, but people don’t know that they are just addicted to the busy journey of life, bowing their heads and running wildly.

If we can pause our pace and stand up straight and look at the scenery on both sides of the road of life, we will definitely discover some things we ignore, those things, called beautiful memories of life.

However, there are always few people who can have this leisure and leisure. Therefore, most people rely on the reminder of the God of Time. After thirty or fifty years, when everything has settled and the conclusion is final, they will suddenly realize that they wake up from a dream: Oh, it turns out that I have been fortunate to have experienced such a great era personally.

For NHAR fans, they have experienced different greatness at different stages of their lives.

NHAR spoon history has great existence in almost every era, but this greatness is always accompanied by controversy, and the first unquestionable great was made by Jordan.

What really built his divine character was the fifth game of the 1997 Finals. In that game, the Flying Emperor was omnipotent. He jumped, assisted, stealed, and rebounded. In addition, he also won almost all the Bulls' scores in the fourth quarter. In the last moment, he also contributed a sharp steal that was enough to be recorded in history, and then made the most dazzling kill in NHA history.

It was very difficult to achieve these achievements. What few people knew at that time was that Jordan had sudden gastroenteritis in that game. He was unable to run before the game. After winning, he was exhausted and could not leave the field with the help of a leather tent. It was these difficult carvings that created a generation of ball god's dazzling legendary moment.

Jordan defined his era, using his back jump shot and his blood-threatening kill.

After that, Jordan retired and NHAi entered the Warring States Period when heroes emerged.

It is undeniable that it was a wonderful era, with the four centers fighting bloodthirsty and the four major guards fighting each other. However, that era can only be said to be wonderful and far from rising to the great level.

Even in the next ten years, the NHA had a shark O'Neal three consecutive championships, Duncan led the Holy City Iron Cavalry for five years, and the fierce Pluto Iverson swept the league, and the alien visitor Carter crossed the basketball stand of the entire league, and the cold-proud Snake King Kobe Bryant defended the glory of the financial aristocrats, and the passionate war god Kevin Tnett commanded the Green Legion Jinzhe Iron Horse, the all-around young master LeBron James killed the god and slaughtered the Buddha, and the cold-blooded killer Kevin Durant won the three armies...

In those years, these people used their stubbornness and persistence to care carefully. They took over the great torch left by Jordan, but never ignited him.

It was not until the tenth year after 1997 that a handsome Chinese young man landed in the NHA Chamberlain, 8pE. His arrival made the NHA re-enter the great era, and he redefined the greatness. The meaning of this word ruled his era for twenty years.

Twenty years? How many twenty years can a person have in twenty years? How many twenty years can a player have in his career?

NHA - It can even be said that all sports are used to defining 6 years as an era, because generally speaking, it is not easy for even a talented athlete to maintain his dominant peak for five years.

According to this calculation, Chamberlain ruled for four eras, and even this number can be expanded a little further.

Time passed, from 207 to 23 years.

In 228, the Beijing World Cup had just ended, and the eyes of football fans from all over the world gathered in the mysterious and vibrant ancient Oriental country, enjoying a feast that only belongs to football fans.

But this year, for basketball fans, they will be much more heartbroken.

Chamberlain, who ruled the NHA and dominated the world basketball world for more than 30 years, is finally about to retire.

"Superman can run through hurricanes, tsunamis, natural disasters and man-made disasters, but he can't run through time." At the Warriors' opening press conference for the new season, Chamberlain said with a smile, "Finally, time has come to this day. I think my retirement will be put on the agenda, either next season, or a certain season, or this season

After receiving this news, I don’t know how many people in every corner of the world burst into tears. Yes, Chamberlain is old, just as they are old.

Many people looked at the mirror with melancholy and suddenly realized that the young man who was full of energy and cheering for Chamberlain had become a middle-aged man with a big belly.

No matter what it has become now, no matter what it has been through over the years, for most people, they can never forget that summer 21 years ago.

Many people may not remember that in the summer of 207, the Celtics formed one of the rare Big Three combinations at that time, setting a precedent for a superstar league. Then that year, they naturally won the championship.

Few people may still remember that that year, the basketball world in the United States was hyping up for a young man. Before he entered the NHA, he was called the "Emperor". In the summer at that time, countless experts predicted that a dominant super insider would enter the NHA.

At that time, if the experts made this judgment from analysis, the fans could only say that they were nonsense, but if they reached the conclusion that it was intuitive, and even asked Feng Shui masters to tell fortunes, the fans would be more likely to believe it.

Because no fans will forget that in that summer, a super star emerged and stepped onto the NHAR spoon battlefield through Auckland, opening his legendary professional life.

From that summer, basketball games have suddenly become simple for many people. Countless people look at the Warriors, just like looking at the truth. This truth comes from the man who never lets fans' hopes fail, Chamberlain.

What Chamberlain brings to the fans is an eternally trustworthy victory. He will win the championship in the competition he participates in, which seems to be a matter of course. Just like good people in the movie will definitely be rewarded, and justice will definitely defeat evil.

Although his dominance was not as strong as he thought in the early and late stages of Chamberlain's career, and there were many people and teams that could threaten his victory, fans still never worry that Chamberlain could not bring them a championship.

In the eyes of fans, the Warriors' season battle is like Journey to the West, complex and simple - the complexity is that they have to suffer 8 hardships in a season and constantly encounter tests and tortures. The simple thing is that in the end, Monkey King will undoubtedly take away the scriptures, and the Warriors will still take away the final championship.

Because of trust, I love it. At that time, I don’t know how many children and teenagers around the world, because of the influence of Chamberlain, put on a short-sleeved T-shirt and rushed to the basketball court with a basketball. Even though I often had to endure the severe pain of finger bruises like carrots, and even if I often had to suffer from sprained ankle injuries.

Chamberlain reinterpreted the image of basketball and the image of sports. With the attention of everyone, he created a new era and a great dynasty.

Unfortunately, there is no banquet that never ends, and there is no dynasty that never witheres.

The 22229 season was Chamberlain's last season. At that time, he was already 40 years old and competed with a group of 20-year-old boys in the penalty area.

On October 3, 2022, the NHA regular season was unveiled.

When the snow-white No. 0 jersey arrived at the stadium, the audience was boiling, and the applause and cheers continued for a long time. Even though B asked the fans to sit down, the fans still stubbornly cheered and applauded the stadium, so that the game had to be delayed by five minutes.

The Warriors' first game of the season is the Los Angeles Lakers.

The proud Purple and Gold Legion has never withdrawn from the NHA powerhouse. After 20 years of Tongzhou Derby, the Warriors and the Lakers have contributed countless exciting games.

Chamberlain made a debut, and many new Lakers stars faced the Warriors under the leadership of veteran Wiggins.

Andrew Wiggins, born in 1995, joined the NHA as the No. 1 pick in 214 and became famous in the Timberwolves. He joined the Lakers at his peak and quickly became the new boss of this noble team.

Regarding Wiggins and Chamberlain, fans talk about the relationship between the two men and their opponents. As we all know, Wiggins is one of the first generation superstars who graduated from St. Lawrence School owned by Chamberlain. After entering the league, he caused great trouble to Chamberlain and became one of the latter's important opponents.

However, Wiggins has always been Chamberlain's opponent, and has never defeated Chamberlain head-on.

Looking at the mature Wiggins, Chamberlain was vaguely confused for a moment. The little guy who was also wearing the No. 0 jersey seemed to suddenly transform into a guy who was used to a cold smile on his face. The guy was wearing a No. 1 jersey, and he had a loud nickname, Black Mamba.

Although Wiggins and Chamberlain have been fighting for many years, in the latter's heart, the real opponent of his era was not Wiggins, but Kobe Bryant, who had retired for many years.

Nowadays, when it comes to Kobe Bryant, they think of a series of records, such as the third score in history, a series of record holders in the Lakers history, and the history of the Iron King, etc. Few people remember it as clearly as Chamberlain. The guy who is now nicknamed the Iron King, once dominated the NH line, which once made Chamberlain despair.

Chamberlain, 40, is no longer omnipotent. Although the Warriors kept passing the ball to him under the command of Michael Lee, Chamberlain missed four shots in the first game and scored with 6 minutes and 15 seconds left in the first quarter.

In that game, Chamberlain made only B in 2l shots, and the team's highest shot was only the team's second highest 2 points. Wiggins on the opposite side scored 46 points in full firepower, but the Warriors still laughed the last time because of Chamberlain's two rebounds, Michael Lee's 14 assists and 2 points.

After the game, Wiggins hugged Chamberlain, and the young and silly smile on his face was still there, but they were no longer young.

The Warriors' home court is still brightly lit, but the god who once could do anything here seems to have lost his magic power.

Although Chamberlain still scored 220, although many media outlets were still not stingy to hand over the most praises to Chamberlain after the game, anyone could see that the former god had fallen and he no longer had the ability to decide the outcome of the game alone.

But the fans don't care. As long as Chamberlain can play, they will be satisfied. As long as they can see Chamberlain's hook, his dunk, and his rebounding, that's enough.

But Chamberlain cares about this, he is indeed going to retire, but he doesn't want to leave in shame and give all the battlefield for it.

In the second game, Chamberlain played the highest playing time, shot the most in the game, scored the highest in the game, rebounded the highest in the game, and blocked the highest in the game. His age, well, was also the highest in the game.

With 19 points in the half, he scored -l points with 14 of 2 shots, plus 6 rebounds, 6 blocks, and 2 assists. He played for 44 minutes and had only one turnover.

This is Chamberlain. Even though he has already taken off the crown, he is still the emperor who commands the world.

The season continued. On 11/11/22, the Warriors played away to Boston and stood in the museum-like TD North Shore Garden Arena. Chamberlain looked around, but he could not find the three old guys wearing green battle robes. Garnett's provocation, Pierce's ridicule, and Gentleman Thunder's faint smile. All of this seemed to be a different world.

Chamberlain, 40, scored 3 points, still the highest in the game, but his team lost.

On this day, his opponent was George Piado, the number one power forward in the Eastern Conference. The 2-year-old Piado played for 3 minutes, scored 2 points and 14 rebounds, which was not bad, especially the data he got under Chamberlain's defense.

After the game, Piadu found Chamberlain to exchange jerseys anyway. He smiled and said, "I will collect this jersey with the Mp trophy I won last season."

Two days later, Chamberlain went to Philadelphia, where his old brother AI welcomed him, and his opponent was the little AI Andel-Yi. The lightning-shot little AI was defeated this time. The old man Chamberlain gave him four big hats and scored 3 points on his territory, which was still the highest in the game.

Afterwards, Chamberlain returned to home court, but his physical strength was in crisis. He made only 6 of 20 shots in the game, which was a terrible sight. Among them, the first three quarters, I made 15 shots, and I scored 6 points with only free throws. Fortunately, I grabbed the highest 17 rebounds in the game.

At this moment, fans finally realized that 8pE is no longer the energetic iron man, he will be tired and tired.

The next opponent is the Bucks. Milwaukee is not the one that they used to be back then. They have the most offensive firepower of the outside threesome, known as the three Musketeers.

Chamberlain, who had been resting for two days, pulled his shooting percentage back to 14 of 6 shots, with the highest l point in the game and the highest 15 rebounds in the game.

But the Warriors still lost to their opponents at home, and the three Musketeers on the opposite side joined forces to cut off a terrifying 6 points.

Chamberlain could only smile bitterly because he had been in the first five games for too many years and had never tasted this taste. It seemed that they had never lost the first five games after the rookie season.

Continuous losses stimulated Chamberlain's nerves. This season, Chamberlain was transferred to the power forward position. In order to protect him, the team handed over the more physically consuming center position to the team's newcomers.

After five games and two losses, the most attractive game of the NHA year was staged. Chamberlain led the team to Oklahoma. Their opponent was the Thunder. There was a guy named Kevin Durant in the Thunder.

This game was broadcast live across the United States. When Chamberlain hugged Durant after entering the court, many fans were crying in the air, and there were countless people in front of the TV.

More than 20 years ago, in the summer of 207, two young people entered the NHA together. They were opponents and friends. They had been in the confrontation for twenty years, one was the overlord in the interior and the other was the scoring machine on the outside. The confrontation between the two of them was a well-deserved battle of the times.

Facing his old opponent, Chamberlain was not polite. The Warriors adjusted the lineup again for him. Chamberlain returned to his favorite and familiar center position. Then, he scored 45 points and 17 rebounds in the whole game, but Durant on the opposite side was a young man, and at the same age as 40, he made 15 of 3 shots and scored 40 points.

At the end of the game, Durant told the media helplessly, "I lost again when I was in the match, but it seems that I am used to it, haha, but I'm very happy that our team won."

Yes, the Warriors lost again in this game, and Chamberlain performed bravely, but the Warriors only had Michael Lee help him, and the others scored only 40 points in a joint score.

Only three wins in six games, the Warriors' winning rate is only 6. This is a situation that has never happened in history.

Next, Chamberlain was still efficient against the Hornets, with 15 of 2 shots, 3 points and 10 rebounds. The Warriors won, but Chamberlain was not happy.

Because, Chamberlain's little brother, the only Michael Lee, who can help him, hit his knee in this game, causing the old meniscus injury to recurrence and exit early. After MRI, after a bad news, Michael's meniscus was completely torn and he may have to undergo partial removal surgery. This season, reimbursement will be reimbursed.

After Chamberlain received this news, he remained silent for a long time at the press conference. The first sentence he said was: "My heart is broken. Michael is a good person and should not suffer such torture."

Michael Lee, who was trained without a hand, had a harder life in Chamberlain. After that, he fought against the Grizzlies, killed the Hawks, and met the Mavericks. Chamberlain, who was 40, averaged 3 points and 6 rebounds per game, while the young Warriors suffered a bleak three consecutive defeats.

At this point, the Warriors started ten games and won only 4 games, with a winning rate of only 40, which is the lowest value after Chamberlain joined the NHA.

At the press conference after losing to the Mavericks, Chamberlain, who had been tough for more than 20 years, lowered his proud head to fate for the first time. He said helplessly: "You know, we may not be able to win the championship this season."

Just one sentence came out of Chamberlain's mouth, even the coldest reporter's eyes turned red on the spot.

This is Chamberlain, this is the undefeated God of War of NHAR. Even he bowed to fate. Is this the power of time?

West, Curry, Ibaka, and these retired brothers all stood up to support Chamberlain. The mad dog said irritably: "I think I should give it, see what those guys are playing. Even if we old brothers come on the court, they will be much better than them. Are they worthy of being teammates?
