12. The rookie wants to defy the sky
After Kobe scored the goal, the score became 20:27, with the home team behind and the away team in front, and the Warriors scoring four points in a row, all of which were obtained by Chamberlain.
Barnes served quickly to Davis, and the five Warriors rushed to the front court like five beasts.
Chamberlain stepped out two thick, long and powerful thighs and ran very fast. Davis had just reached the three-point line and had already rushed into the penalty area. Seeing this, Davis grabbed the ball with one hand and threw it into the inside with a straight pass.
Seeing this scene, Phil Jackson's face changed. It's been so many years since he hadn't seen someone running so fast and so fast in years? In his memory, who was the last guy with such excellent physical fitness? David Robinson, Hakeem, Olajuwon, or Alonzo, Mooning when he was young?
No matter which one it is, any guy with such quality appears on the court, which means that his opponent is going to be in trouble and in great luck!
Davis' pass has no problem, fast, accurate, ruthless, and stable, and can be recorded in textbooks. His movements are fine, but the timing of the pass is wrong. When Kobe found that Chamberlain was running as fast as a defender, he knew what tactics the Warriors would play.
Shortly after the ball left Davis's hand, Kobe saved from the side and snatched the ball. The Lakers DJ at the scene was about to cheer and celebrate Kobe, but a wind-like figure passed through the air. Chamberlain saved it desperately. Just before Kobe broke the ball and was about to grab the ball, he poked the ball out.
Harrington picked up the ball and rushed to the inside. Bynum had just arrived at the penalty area and rushed up to block the ball, but Harrington was not afraid. He put the ball with both hands and rushed up at Bynum.
"Looking for death!" Harrington roared angrily, as if a thunder thunder was spurting out of his mouth.
Bynum's defensive pace suddenly slowed down half a beat. At this moment, Azubuk went to the basket along the baseline. Harrington passed the ball in. Azubuk got the ball and turned it over and easily sent the ball into the ring.
22::27, the score narrowed to 5 points, and the Warriors have seen hope of overtaking.
Chamberlain got up from the floor, and Davis came up excitedly and gave him a chest-hitting gift. He shouted loudly: "Good job, good job, Z, who the hell calls you a rookie? I want to beat him so he can't even recognize who he is! You are a good guy, you did a great job!"
Kobe looked back at Bynum with a gloomy face. The latter was quite reasonable. This ball had nothing to do with me. I was making up for Harrington. Who made Famal not keep up with Azubuk?
Jackson saw this scene clearly in the scene. He really wanted to kick Bynum with his ear. Damn, IQ is a flaw!
The huge contrast with Bynum was Chamberlain's performance. The scene where the latter tried his best to snatch the ball just now made Jackson's heart sank. From Chamberlain, he vaguely saw a shadow of a person. He was very familiar with that person because that person once shone in his hand, which made the inside of the league feel scared:
Dennis Rodman!
Rodman, the big insect, is not such a brilliant figure in the long history of the NBA. What he left to the fans seems to be the impression of the rebounding king and Jordan bodyguard for seven consecutive times. In fact, only the players know how terrible this guy is. Even a beast-level existence like O'Neal has to admit that Rodman is the enemy he is least willing to face, fierce, terrible, bloodthirsty, vengeful, and petty!
If there is someone in the NBA who is most familiar with Rodman, it must be Phil Jackson. It was in the hands of the fake monk that this guy's wildness was barely bound, and Jackson made him the first-class tactical execution machine and rebounding champion in the league in the 1990s.
Jackson has always had a very accurate look at people. From Kobe, he saw Jordan's shadow, and now from Chamberlain, he saw Rodman's shadow. He hoped that he had read it wrong, because in this era when the entire league lacks high-quality inside players, it is terrifying to have a Rodman appear.
Chamberlain's brave pounce won him applause on the scene, but it was just a sparse. For fans of the Purple and Gold Dynasty, they were all nobles. Chamberlain's behavior was no different from those of a bandit, and he could be praised, but he was disdainful.
Chamberlain didn't care whether they liked him or not. He only knew that he had successfully stopped Kobe from playing in a fast break, which meant that he had two points missing, which was enough.
But Chamberlain also knew that relying on this kind of life-saving is not enough, and he still needs to do more so that he can save his 5,000 yuan and be worthy of his current strong body.
The Lakers attacked again, Kobe played Barnes single with the ball. Now, the Black Mamba is at the peak, regardless of his skills or physical fitness. Barnes can't defend him alone, and the Warriors' defense is famous for being a junk in the whole league. Kobe threw away Barnes and immediately made a quick stop and jump shot.
'Bang', a piece of steel was released. Bynum and Brown teamed up to get many offensive rebounds in the first quarter. The fake inside line formed by Pitrus and Biderlins made the two feel happy. However, the feng shui took turns, and this time they encountered the well-deserved rebound monster.
Chamberlain easily judged the pre-departure point of the basketball, jumped high and grabbed the ball in his hand. The other four people rushed down with their heads in their mouths. Chamberlain threw the ball to Azubuk who was running in the front, and quickly followed with force with his thighs.
The Warriors' attack pace is notoriously fast in the league. The Lakers just chased to the three-point line. Azubuk and Davis made a two-match and tease the only one who followed Famal was dazzled, and then scored on the board. In this way, the score gap became smaller and smaller at 24:27.
The Warriors reached an 8:2 climax just after the second quarter. Jackson had no choice but to whistle and ask for a timeout.
Kobe ended up with a dark face, and the caddie timidly handed him a pair of towels, but he didn't even look at it, and pushed the caddie away.
The other half of the Warriors' bench was rumbling and drums were heard. Chamberlain was surrounded by Jackson and his group of people at the end of the game. They rubbed Chamberlain's head, butt, chest and everything they could rub, screaming and playing tricks.
Old Nelson smiled and said nothing, looking at Jackson with provocative eyes: The bad relationship between these two old men is famous for the entire league:
Old Nelson was loyal to the Celtics when he was a player, and that was the Lakers' rival. Both of them were the ones who won the most honors of "the best coach of the team" among the NBA active coaches. They won almost the same games, and they both had nearly a thousand games. As the saying goes, "there is no first in literature and no second in martial arts." But the two old men are both bad-tempered, so it would be strange if they can enjoy each other.
After the timeout, the game continued. Jackson really didn't want to lose to Old Nelson. He directly replaced Fisher, who had just left the court, and the Lakers basically resumed the starting lineup. The Warriors' lineup remained unchanged, and they were still one, one, four, and four.
This time, Fisher was organizing the offense for the Lakers. He and Davis were somewhat similar in style. They were both small muscles with a small stick. Fisher signaled Bynum to come up to cover himself, but the latter turned a blind eye to his eyes: it was not that Bynum was lazy, but with his IQ, he really couldn't understand Fisher's arrangements.
Kobe had no choice but to give up the open space that he had finally escaped and blocked Davis for Fisher. The two of them entered the penalty area with two arrows. Fisher passed the ball to Kobe. Davis and Barnes rushed towards the Black Mamba at the same time, so the little fish let go.
Although Kobe has always been criticized as a "lone wolf" and "no passing ball", his organizational ability and passing skills are excellent. As soon as Fisher found a loophole, he immediately passed the ball.
After receiving the ball comfortably, Fisher rose up and made a mid-range shot. As a result, as soon as he got up, a huge black shadow rushed in the air. Chamberlain, who was fighting for the position with Bynum in the interior, jumped up and slapped Fisher's short-lived ball, slapped him out of the court!
Fisher couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth. He knew that the rookie was very physical and defensive, but he never expected that he would be so outstanding. God, when he was about to take action just now, he could see clearly. The rookie was still six or seven meters away from him. Why did the rookie step over in one step?
This is unscientific!
Kobe had to choose to take action for the Lakers' ball, but he was so entangled by Barnes, who was like a candy, and his shooting posture was obviously deformed. The ball bounced back as soon as it hit the ring.
Chamberlain grabbed the ball and subconsciously wanted to throw it down. As a result, when he saw that the five Lakers players had already returned to the frontcourt. Bynum and Brown were very aware that this time they did not compete for rebounds with Chamberlain. It turns out that they also knew that with their ability, fighting for rebounds with Chamberlain would be a waste of wax.
Davis came up to pick him up and joked: "Good job, Z, you beat those soft balls to wet your pants! Just like that, keep coming, I have a hunch that you might have to get fifty rebounds today!"
The Warriors players separated the runs, Barnes found an opportunity outside the bottom corner three-point line, Davis passed the ball, and he raised his hand and scored a three-pointer. As a result, the ball turned twice in the ring and fell out again.
Bynum bent his legs and shouted angrily: "My!"
Chamberlain knocked away Brown who was stuck, soared into the sky like a rocket, and took the rebound into his hand. After landing, he did not force the attack under Brown and Bynum's double-team, but threw the ball to Barnes again and shouted: "Come again!"
Barnes lived up to expectations and made another move to make a fuss again!
Chamberlain slammed Bynum's chest with an elbow behind him, smashing the latter into a prawn, grabbing the gap given by Bynum, Chamberlain relaxed his arm, jumped in the air and took off the rebound, but he still threw it to Barnes, shouting: "If you don't fucking, just go and die!"
Kobe was so angry that he was so angry that he was in his own home. What kind of inside line is so fucking that he was so fucking that he was so fucking that he was so fucking. Chamberlain actually grabbed two rebounds and two offensive rebounds in a row!
Old Nelson smiled and God finally took a look at him and gave him such an inside giant. If he didn't win the championship, he would be sorry for Chamberlain who God gave him!
Jackson did not have the same monk style as he had been sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai. He glared at Bynum and Brown angrily and shouted: "Shit, won't you jump? Rebounds! Rebounds! Rebounds! Show me the damn rebound!"
Barnes shot another three-pointer and finally hit.
Chapter completed!
