128. Champion Point Guard
There were two consecutive away games, although it was not back-to-back one day, but it was also very hard. We kept shuttled between several cities and shuttled over. When we landed from the airport, we had to get on the bus. We were stuffed like cargo and then transported to the stadium, and then we had a real-life "meat" fight at the stadium.
Even Chamberlain is as strong as this, not tolerant of such troubles, let alone the other birdmen.
Finally won two away games in a row, the Warriors got the chance to go home. Chamberlain was a little better. His playing time in the two games was just about the same as in the previous game. Moreover, he only played for about twenty minutes in the second game against the Clippers. People like Jackson, who were so thrilled, were all soft when they got off the plane.
When he returned to Auckland, the weather was cold. Chamberlain went home and had a meal with Li Qun and Shirley. Sitting at the dinner table, Chamberlain almost cried on the spot. He had been together with Thade Mons before, but they were all in the United States. Even if he went to Europe or China, it didn't matter, but he went to Iraq. It would be fine if he traveled to Iraq. The problem is that this guy is going to fight against the war.
In the afternoon, Chamberlain went to the court, but when he entered the training hall, he heard the rapid sound of basketball hitting the rebound. He opened the door and saw a strong figure breaking through the practice curve.
A row of obstacles lined up in irregular shapes. A shirtless man quickly crossed the obstacles. His body was as flexible as a snake, twisting and twisting between the obstacles with a ball, as fast as the wind and lightning. The cold wind was howling outside the house, but the body inside the training hall was full of sweat.
Crystal sweat spilled all over his skin, and combined with the rock-solid muscles, the person who drove the ball to burst with explosive power. While running, he seemed to be a cruise missile that was not only fast but also extremely explosive.
Chamberlain recognized it at a glance. This man was the problem defender who caused a lot of controversy two days ago, Deront and West.
Hearing the sound of the "door" opening, West did not look back during training. He was still concentrating on doing curve breakthrough training, allowing sweat to splash and fall to the ground with his swing. His face was expressionless and focused, and it was so cool.
After two rounds of curve breakthrough training, he pursed his lips and lowered his head to clean up the obstacles. Chamberlain, who had changed into the training suit, smiled and said, "Hey, man, don't rush to clean up the things first, I'll play with it too."
After hearing his words, West suddenly raised his head, stared at Chamberlain tightly, and said coldly: "Play it?!"
Chamberlain was so 'haired' that he looked at him, and he explained: "I mean I also want to do some training on curve breakthroughs."
West looked at him with a 'yin' look, and after a full four or five seconds, he said, "This is not something to play with, this is a training equipment."
Chamberlain took a ball and walked over, saying as he walked, "I understand, I see you practiced well just now, and you're a little itchy."
West's lips squirmed twice. He seemed to want to refuse, but in the end he stood aside and watched Chamberlain slowly dribbling between the obstacles with expressionless face.
While dribbling the ball, Chamberlain said to him as he mocked him: "Compared with you, my breakthrough is very inferior, right? If you want to laugh at me, you can come at will, I won't care."
West groaned without saying a word, but he still watched with his arms around. When Chamberlain finished practicing, he immediately took away all the obstacles, then wiped them with a "wool" towel, and put them in a cardboard box and sealed them.
Chamberlain now understands why no team is willing to accept this kid. He is too withdrawn. He said several words just now, just to show kindness to this new teammate. As a result, West did not answer at all. He could occasionally respond with a 'Oh, um', which was already a shame for Chamberlain.
Not long afterwards, another person came in. Chamberlain turned around and was happy. He was actually a new teammate. The new person was Chauncey-Billups.
Billups has a property in Detroit, and his family and children are there, so he reported to the Warriors late, and the team did not take him on a road trip. Of course, even if he brought him with him, Billups could not participate. He had to conduct a full-scale physical examination with the Warriors and then disconnect from the freezing status to obtain qualifications for the battle.
Seeing Chamberlain and West, Billups smiled kindly and said, "Hi, guys, you guys are here early."
He is already a veteran, used to "trading" and has experienced "trading" himself. As early as when Wallace left the Pistons, he was ready to be "trading". There have been rumors that the Pistons' uniform group wanted to exchange him for McGrady, but the Rockets' uniform group did not agree, so that he could continue to stay with the Pistons. Therefore, when he came to the Warriors, Billups showed his strong adaptability.
Chamberlain and Billups gave a passionate hug. He patted the other party's back and said, "It's great to join forces with you. Man, you left a deep impression on me in the last game. I have long wanted to cooperate with a defender like you. I think we can definitely win the championship when we join forces. What do you think?"
"Same thing, I will send you a steady stream of bullets. z. Recently I watched your game video and your attack is unparalleled." Billups praised. Chamberlain knew that this was the other party's praise, but he was still happy after hearing this.
In fact, Billups is not praising Chamberlain. Since entering the league, he has never been a teammate with Chamberlain as strong as Chamberlain. Ben Yi Wallace has a strong defense but is too weak in the attack. Rashid is only excellent in the inside, not top in other aspects of his temper. McDise had the opportunity to develop into a top inside, but he was injured and seriously injured.
As the training time stipulated by Old Nelson approached, the Warriors players slowly came to the training hall. In the last minute, Jackson, Ellis, Barnes and Pitrus rushed in, and there was a Harrington behind them.
The five people seemed like elementary school students who were about to be late for class. They ran in with a thump, looked at the time and wiped their sweat together, and looked at each other with a little annoyed: "Damn it's a bit early this time, I'd known to have been out for a few more rounds."
Billups was stunned. This training attitude was absolutely not allowed to exist in the military camp-like Pistons, even when Larry Ibrambrance left and replaced Sanders as the Pistons coach.
Because new teammates joined and the players did not train directly after they gathered. Old Nelson first asked both sides to get together and brag, and then asked the assistant coach and trainer to lead the players to warm up, and finally started the team training.
Billups' arrival is to fill Davis' vacancy, so of course he could not be a substitute, so Louis, who had just tasted the starting taste, returned to the bench again.
At the beginning of the training match, the main lineup is Chamberlain + Pitrus + Jackson + Ellis + Billups, and the substitute is Evans + Harrington + Barnes Hankozubuk + Louis.
Billups was completely stress-free when facing Louis. After he dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, he stood in the top arc of the three-point line, slapped the ball and said with a smile: "I'm a newcomer. Brothers, maybe you don't understand my style yet, and I don't know your characteristics very well... Let's have one!"
Billups's speech attracted Evans' attention. Chamberlain immediately took a step forward and ran back, rushing directly to the basket. At the moment he ran back, Billups threw the ball out. Chamberlain got under the basket and the ball hit his head.
After receiving the ball, Chamberlain easily made an air relay.
"Beautiful job!" Chamberlain raised his thumbs up at Billups. The dunk was really comfortable.
Louis's attack style is very obvious. He is good at breakthroughs as sharp as a scalpel, but facing Billups' breakthrough advantage disappears without a trace. Whether he is a strong breakthrough, a change of direction or even dribbling under his crotch, Billups has always been following him like a shadow, following closely by his side.
Azubuk came up to receive the ball, and Louis could only pass the ball. Just as he stopped, Billups suddenly started and pounced on him, slapped Louis hard on the ball that he put away and broke the ball.
Fortunately, Azubuke reacted quickly enough to grab the ball first, and he had to thank Jackson and others for not understanding Billups' style. Otherwise, if it were Prince or Hamilton, he would have grabbed the ball and launched a fast attack.
After Azubuk picked up the ball, he rushed to the basket through the gap. Chamberlain stuck Evans and stared at Azubuk, yelling: "It's a big hat to come in!"
Seeing that Azubuk did not enter the inside line to attack at will, he quickly reduced his speed. Anyway, even if he was entangled by Ellis, he was not afraid. The latter's defense was not stressful for him.
But as soon as he slowed down, the pressure immediately increased. It was not Ellis who defended him at all, but Billups. Azubuk turned around and wanted to pass the ball, who was supposed to be defended by Billups, but found that Louis had no open space, and Ellis was following him.
Jackson and others also pressed their own people, and the substitute's attack became very difficult. In the end, Azubuke forced his move, and the ball hit the iron without any accident. Chamberlain took the rebound and passed it back to Billups.
Billups dribbled the ball down without any hurry. Louis came up and tightened his "press" and he turned around and beat him hard. Billups' body was definitely a very strong type in the defender. Louis couldn't bear it, and after being knocked away, Billups was about to break through.
Evans subconsciously took a step forward to intimidate Billups, but the latter did not take this opportunity to attack the ring, but instead made a "precise" pass, directly passing the ball into the inside and landing in Chamberlain's hands.
Chamberlain turned around easily, and another powerful dunk!
Old Nelson held his chin and watched the game on the court with interest. He was mentally prepared for Lupus's excellence. However, after he really saw him joining forces with Chamberlain, he realized that he had done this "deal". Chamberlain and Billups were a perfect match!
Billups and Chamberlain cooperated in a small range, and the substitute lineup was beaten apart by the two. Old Nelson was planning to guide the substitute's tactics, but when he turned his head and saw West sneering disdain, he moved his heart, tweeted his finger and called Azubuk, and said to West: "Boy, you come on the court.
Chapter completed!
