He bid farewell to December with a "wave" and two consecutive victories, and then the New Year is here. According to the NBA regulations, each team has a holiday in the two days before and after the New Year, but this does not mean that the players are relaxed. The Warriors organized community activities, and Chamberlain, as the most popular person in the Warriors, naturally needs to participate.

The main body of these activities is slums, mainly to help the houses in the slums repair broken gaps. It is now winter. As a city in the northern hemisphere, Oakland does not have the gentle warm wind of Miami. At night, these gaps will turn into bone-scraping steel knives that can freeze people to death.

Chamberlain was shocked to see the frozen faces and hands in the house, and he had foreseeable about this scene because he was also a child from a slum. However, although his family was in a difficult situation, his parents had never let him suffer such suffering and had always tried their best to make him grow up happily.

Thinking of the scene when his parents had to get up to make money at four o'clock in the morning to prepare breakfast for sale, Chamberlain burst into tears on the spot. He made a decision directly. The next time the team was resting, he would take Li Qun home and let his parents meet this good girl, their daughter-in-law, who had not passed the door.

Chamberlain paid money on the spot and asked Winnie to buy enough air conditioners for him to equip a community. This consumed him 75,000 US dollars, but he didn't blink, which shocked Jackson and others. Barnes opened his mouth and said, "This is 80,000 US dollars, man, this is 80,000 US dollars!"

Chamberlain shook his head and said, "Wrong, this is not 80,000 US dollars, it is the money for you to spend a week in the bar, the money for clothes bought by a girl, and it is also the money for these children to save their lives in a comfortable winter."

Billups is also very keen on charity, but he is relatively low-key. Compared with charity tycoons like Uncle Mu and Jamison, his name rarely appears in newspaper headlines, but since he entered the NBA in the 1997-98 season, he has put in a lot of effort.

Every season of the Pistons, he would invite poor workers to watch the game on site, and a total of more than 500 tickets were given in a season; he would set up scholarships in college, and every summer, he would also go to the nursing home and orphans in his hometown of Denver to pay sympathy. Of course, Billups never refuses the annual charity activities of NBA. He also set up a fund, and every time he made a three-pointer in the game, he would donate a thousand dollars to the fund, which was related to his keen three-point attacking habit.

Seeing Chamberlain take action, Billups waved his pen and took out 50,000 US dollars. He used the money to improve the clothes and shoes of the children in the slums. In this way, Jackson and others could not fall behind. They all donated a sum of money, from one thousand dollars to twenty thousand dollars. The Warriors raised 200,000 US dollars, and the money would be hosted by Old Nelson to "spend" fees.

As time goes by 2008, the Warriors' first opponent in the New Year is their mortal enemy, the Utah Jazz. There is no doubt that this is also the league's arrangement, and it is indeed a bit disgusting. When encountering such an opponent on this kind of happy day, the Warriors are not happy.

If the players are unhappy, the fans will be happy because this is often the fuse of a "smart" game.

After the players from both sides entered the court, Chamberlain, Jackson and others walked over to receive Boozer and Deron. Both sides did not have as much fire as they did when they encountered the Mavericks. They just exchanged greetings with each other, but if someone heard them, they would probably be chilled:

"You'd better not go into the inside line later, otherwise you'll be careful to break your neck!"

"Haha, you'd better bring your knee pads in this game. I'm not sure if you can guarantee that you can still stand on the court after the game.

The Warriors' starting lineup is Chamberlain + Pitrus + Jackson + Ellis + Billups. The latter has arrived for a short time and has little knowledge of Old Nelson's tactics, but he must start, because even if he fights alone, he is the Warriors' first combat power on the outside.

The Jazz's starting lineup is Oku + Boozer + Kirilenko + Rooney - Brewer + Deron. The Jazz coach Sloan is an absolutely stubborn guy. All teams are strengthening the lineup through "trading" transactions, and only he rarely makes "trading" during the season.

The last time the Warriors' arrogance on the Utah Plateau made the Jazz feel so angry that they were irritated. That was their first home game they lost, so this time they met at the Warriors at home, they planned to leave some scars in the hearts of the Oakland fans.

Chamberlain jumped the ball and beat Oku. Billups got the ball and pushed forward rhythmically. Chamberlain helped Ellis block Brewer. Ellis immediately rushed into the penalty area like a wild horse. When he ran in, Billups waved his hand and passed the ball accurately through the half-time.

Ellis took the layup with no one around him, and the Jazz player watched him throw the ball into the ring.

Sloan's opponent's defense was obviously dissatisfied with it, so he stood up and shouted a few times, signaling the team to strengthen the defense.

After Deron dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, Billups went up and pressed. This was not the first time the two of them had a fight. As a top point guard with all their expertise in the league, both sides knew each other well. Deron had always been outstanding in the No. 1 position, but Billups was not inferior, so he could not crush the opponent like Paul and Nash.

Billups limited Deron's performance, who forced a breakthrough but failed to pass the ball to Kirilenko.

Facing Jackson, the defensive madman, Kirilianko was quite helpless. He raised up and made a fake shot. As a result, Jackson was not fooled, but instead took a step back and completely blocked his breakthrough route. However, the Jazz were never a team that expected to score in a singles. Boozer came up to block Jackson, and Kirilianko dribbled the ball and broke through.

Pitrus replaced the defense, and the pick-and-roll was successful. Kirilianko rushed all the way to the penalty area before passing the ball to Boozer.

Jackson was physically strong, but that was for the outside line. He was helpless when facing Boozer. The latter stuck his butt out for a few consecutive strokes and was knocked away. Boozer turned around and jumped, hitting a goal above his head.

Billups ran forward slowly with the ball and said with a smile: "Hi, z, I'll wait for me outside later, how about we have a pick-and-roll?"

Chamberlain curled his lips disdainfully and said, "If you want to play this kind of guy, you can use pick-and-roll?" As he said that, he suddenly accelerated his running speed and rushed towards the basket.

Oku hurriedly followed, but when Chamberlain ran to the penalty area, he turned around and turned back. Billups accelerated at the same time. Deron hurriedly retreated and followed, but Chamberlain blocked him and was blocked. By the time he turned around by Chamberlain, Billups had already arrived at the penalty area.

Oku could not leave, Billups turned around and looked at Chamberlain. The Jazz were anxious and rushed to the latter.

At this time, Billups turned his head and distributed the ball to Jackson outside the three-point line. Jackson also had an open position. He hedged against Kirilianko, who was beside Chamberlain, smiled, shook his hand and scored a three-pointer, hitting a hit!

"I lied to you." Billups turned around and smiled at Chamberlain.

Chamberlain pretended to be angry and shouted: "I am very hurt and angry, and the consequences will be very serious!"

With the previous lesson, Deron no longer had a "faithful" breakout. He dribbled the ball slowly on the outside and had the opportunity to run a few steps into the inside. If it was blocked, turn around and run out. His patience gave him the opportunity. Chamberlain was unknowingly pulled out by him. Oku had the opportunity, Deron immediately passed the ball in.

Oku got the ball and turned to shoot under the basket. He didn't dunk because Chamberlain was too fast and he was worried about being blocked.

But the worry still became reality. As soon as his ball took action, a black shadow like a falcon rose into the air, slapped the ball on the ball, and slapped it mercilessly downward.

Petrus grabbed the ball with a hand, and Billups no longer looked slow. He pulled his legs and rushed forward. After getting the ball, he continued to speed up, and kept running down with his head down.

Chamberlain chased behind him, Billups looked back at him, waved his hand and threw the ball to Ellis on the wing.

Ellis ran faster. When Bloops first entered the three-point line, he had already rushed into the penalty area. After getting the ball, he took three steps directly under Brewer's tracking, throwing the ball in the air despite his unstable physical condition.

Brewer bent down to grab the rebound, but Chamberlain had already followed in. The ball hit the inside of the basket ring and bounced out. His legs bent and roared like a spring. He raised his right arm high and straight as if he was standing on the main peak of the Rockies Mountains standing on the ground. His big hand opened his five fingers and grabbed the ball with one hand. Then his body, filled with powerful explosive power, bent backward like a strong bow, his arms waving, and the sound of a dunk like a muffled thunder sounded.

At 7:2, the Warriors achieved an outstanding opening.

Deron dribbled the ball to the frontcourt again, Boozer came up to help him make a pick-and-roll. The two separated. Deron rushed to the wing with Pitrus, made a firm jump shot, and made a "precise layup".

Billups laughed, and he looked at Deron and said, "Boy, you seem to be very arrogant today?"

Deron sneered. Billups reached the top of the three-point line at this time. He looked at the fat man and shook his fingers and said, "But your breakthrough just now is not good. Come on, let me teach you what breakthrough is..."

With a pile of words, Billups took lightning forward with his right foot. At the same time, his body followed suit, taking two steps in a row, Delon stepped back and started the text. When he took the third step, his right arm holding the ball suddenly pulled back, and the ball jumped under his crotch and fell to his left hand, so his forward-leaning body pulled back, and Delon was still retreating.

The distance between the two sides suddenly came out. Billups adjusted his wrist posture, jumped up gracefully, and waved his hand and cut two points.

Delong's face was very ugly, but Bilups even spoke inspiring him: "Sorry, young man, I just lied to you, are you willing to forgive me?"

Boozer gave Oku a 'color', and the latter understood what he meant, and asked him to go out for defense. When the two met, he whispered: "No, Chamberlain cannot let go, that guy's threat is more than the sum of the other four people."

Boozer shook his head impatiently and said, "Can't you see that Billups' dead bald head and that kid have no chemical reaction. How many times have they cooperated with each other until the game? They just became teammates and are still very strange to each other, so there is no need to worry too much about him."

Oku thought about it and thought it made sense, but when he turned his head to look at Billups, he found that the latter had a mysterious smile at him.

The Turks felt a faint sense of uneasiness.
