666 Super Center
In the last two minutes, garbage time entered, and the Warriors' leading score remained above fifteen points.
But the Suns were unwilling to lose at home and were still fighting with all their might. Oden still had five fouls on his back. The last foul was not delayed, so he simply killed until the end and couldn't end. However, he no longer dared to make big moves when defending. Sometimes West or Morrow, who came on the bench, broke in and he didn't dare to block it.
Seeing that Oden was still lucky, Chamberlain simply accompanied him to the end, and he didn't leave the court. He still rushed hard on both ends of the offense and defense, causing the Suns fans to vomit blood.
The final blow is the Warriors' ball rights. There are still 2 minutes left, and the lead score is still 15 points. At this time, according to common sense, the Warriors throw the ball directly to the defender and let him consume these 2 minutes, but Chamberlain is not like this. Oden, aren't you going to be my opponent? That's great, I'll give you a happy ending in the end.
Chamberlain waved his hand and asked his teammates to pull them away, leaving enough space for himself. Facing Oden with his arms wide open, he slid forward, dribbled the ball with his right hand and bent over to break through. Oden crossed his steps and opened his hands to block Chamberlain. The two of them collided with each other, and Chamberlain turned around and marched with this reaction force.
Oden moved horizontally, still unswervingly blocking him. Chamberlain took steps repeatedly, then turned around and quickly dribbled the ball under his crotch. He handed the ball to his left hand with his right hand, and leaned forward with his left shoulder, but then turned around and turned around and turned around. Oden was shaken and his footsteps were a little staggered.
Chamberlain took a step forward and then pulled the ball back, quickly put it away, and made a gesture to raise his hand to shoot.
Oden's footsteps were already very messy. When he saw Chamberlain making a shooting move, the only thing he could do was to gamble, because now he just couldn't take off, and if Chamberlain had follow-up actions such as step back, he couldn't help it. As a result, Chamberlain jumped up as soon as he jumped, and hit his armpit hard, and at the same time shot the ball out.
The ball was thrown at random, Oden slapped the cap, but the referee's whistle also sounded, making a foul-blocking gesture to him.
Oden was depressed and looked at Chamberlain in anger and shouted, "There are two seconds left, you bastard."
Chamberlain grabbed the ball and shrugged, saying, "Thank God, if he hadn't blessed me with mercy today, you would have to go down the third quarter."
Two free throws and two hits, so frankly.
The kick-off was kicked off again, and there were only two seconds left. Chamberlain ran two steps and beeped in the stadium.
Suns fans booed, but there was more applause. Although their team was sure to lose before the half-quarter, the fans did not leave the field early, but stayed to watch the game.
Chamberlain opened his arms and made the most attention-giving style of the world. The booed immediately, and there was also laughter. In Phoenix, Chamberlain had many fans. Chamberlain himself laughed, and then he raised his arms and started to applaud. This is thanking the fans for staying until the end. Once the home team loses in many games, the fans will start to leave the court.
The fans who can stay with the team to lose are real fans.
Oden came up and punched Chamberlain, who hugged him and shouted: "Great man, you've finally recovered from health. How about it? I won't play a few more games this time and be off the game, right?"
Oden smiled and said, "I hope not to do this. To be honest, I am now hit by reality and I can't bear it anymore. If I keep hurting, I'm probably the number one pick." After a pause, he said, "It's probably not easy to defend you in the future. Let me tell you a secret. I want to lose weight. Our Xunpei said that with my knee load-bearing ability, the weight is too big now."
Chamberlain patted his shoulder and said, "It's okay, little kid, practice your steps well. Actually, I don't have the nerve to beat you with my steps today, and that's what I'm best at."
Oden laughed: "You can really brag."
After they parted, Chamberlain hugged Nash again and said, "Steve, believe me, you have no future with Greg. Come to my team. If you want to win the championship, come to Oakland. We will leave you a place at any time."
Nash smiled and said, "Don't do this, you have to encourage Greg. You are the ones who enter the league together. You are born opponents and lifelong enemies, aren't you?"
Although the team lost, Nash was still very satisfied because he saw hope. The reason why the fans stayed until the end did not leave was because they saw hope and the hope of the team's rise.
Oden played for 41 minutes today, only rested for 7 minutes in the second quarter, hit 14 goals in each shot, scored 3 points, 15 rebounds, and f-covers. The data is dazzling enough because his opponent is Chamberlain.
Chamberlain started a big kill today. He played for 3 minutes, but he made 18 goals twice, scored 45 points, 19 rebounds, and 9 blocks, almost a triple-double. If he was willing to make the data, he could actually make a mistake at the last moment to let the Suns play a fast break and then block them. I believe that only he is willing, he can do this, and he has the ability.
The Warriors returned with a big victory. Although the Suns lost, the fans were not discouraged. The uniforms were sharpened and full of ambitions.
Oden gave them enough hope. Today, the Suns lost because of their weak attacks from the outside. They actually had an absolute advantage in the inside. However, S and Oden did not react in chemistry. Otherwise, if the two teamed up to attack one mile and one outside, the Warriors' penalty area would definitely fall.
Phoenix Phoenix gave this game a high evaluation: great opponents, great games. The newspaper said: "Thanks to the two teams for bringing us such a wonderful game. Whether it is attack or defense, they tried their best. The intensity of the game even exceeded the playoffs, but reached the finals. Although the Suns lost, it is normal. When someone wins a large-sized triple-double, it is difficult for you to win, but the Suns still have hope of winning. If Oden and Stodmeier play enough chemistry, the result will change. We can look forward to this day, because as the running-in increases, the cooperation between the two will become more and more tacit."
The Philadelphia Sentinels, which is quite influential in the American sports industry, also gave a strong report on this game: "As always been excellent, in just two seasons, he has grown into the kind of center that can really determine the outcome of the game, but what is really surprising today is Greg Oden's performance. Yes, the confrontation with passion makes us deeply believe that a healthy Oden is definitely a veritable No. 1 pick. If he can continue to be healthy, then the Phoenix will make a lot of money and Portland will lose a lot."
As a famous TNT word, Barkley is certainly indispensable. When he commented on the game in front of the TV, he laughed: "If Oden stays healthy, then ten years later, or five years later, when people evaluate the NHAR spoon trade, the Trail Blazers will occupy two events: in 1984, they had the second pick but didn't choose this Jazz, and of course they didn't choose Jordan. In 209, they sent away a No. 1 pick, the only center in this era who may be able to compete with each other. These two mistakes are fatal to the team all the time."
Smith did not laugh at Barkley this time. Although people often say that it is a pity for the Trail Blazers to miss Jordan, it is a pity. Who could have expected Jordan to achieve such a success in the future? Even the Bulls who selected him did not expect that they chose a god. After the draft, the Bulls general manager even said: "We chose a good guy, his name is Michael Jordan, but he is not the person we urgently need. He does not have a seven-foot big man, and he has no dominance."
TNT made a short program, and Barkley hosted a 15-minute talk show to explain the two stupid decisions of the Trail Blazers. In fact, they did not laugh at the Trail Blazers, but in a sense, they explained why the team was anxious to trade Oden. Now many people can't figure it out, why the Trail Blazers are so anxious that they sent him away after only two seasons?
The one who made the Trail Blazers' reputation for being stupid is actually that they missed Barkley. This is not Barkley's boast, but the fact that it was at that time
The Trail Blazers need an inside player, and Barkley is an inside player. And you have to know that before the draft, Barkley was so famous that even No. 1 pick Olajuwon could not block his limelight.
The live broadcast of the draft in 1984 was UA Cable TV, and the commentator was the famous basketball player Albert and Liu Kaneseka. As soon as the live broadcast began, Albert emphasized, "There will be 6 future superstars in this year's rookie." Many people don't know that among the six names Albert pronounced at that time, he pronounced Charles Barkley's name twice.
But the Trail Blazers insisted on choosing Sam Poway, making the first of the two stupidest choices in the team's history, and once again fell into the draft second-level curse.
What everyone knows about later: Just five days after Bowie joined the Trail Blazers training camp, a rib was broken because he was hit by a teammate's elbow on his back. In 192, he underwent left leg correction surgery and eradicated the bone spurs on his big toe. In the 193-87 season, Bowie ushered in his biggest disaster. He played only 6 games in the new season. After a jump shot, Bowie broke his right leg shin after landing. Then he returned in the 1987 playoffs, but not long after, his right leg shin broke again and had to transplant a bone from the hip joint to the tibia.
So far, the Trail Blazers management completely realized that it was a complete mistake to give up Jordan and choose Bowie.
Then in the fall of 198, in the fifth season of Poway, the Trail Blazers exchanged him for Buck Williams of the New Jersey Nets.
It was this deal, which was called experience, that made the Trail Blazers determined to send Oden away as soon as possible, hoping to maximize his interests. They were worried that if Oden was confirmed to be scrapped in a few more seasons, this good card would be ruined. Powell's lessons to the past are the reasons why they wanted to trade Oden.
Buck Williams is nicknamed the Bucks. Although his reputation is not good now, he was also a tough guy back then. After he arrived at the Trail Blazers, his defensive skills and defensive roles expanded to the extreme in the NH in the early 30s. He was selected for the first defensive lineup of the year in three years and 91 years. In the year when the Trail Blazers reached the finals, Buck Williams was also selected for the second defensive lineup of the year. In other words, choosing Poway was a wrong decision, but trading Poway was very correct.
Now I understand why the Trail Blazers wanted to trade Oden? At that time, in their opinion, Oden was the next Powell, and perhaps the problem was even more serious. At least Powell's rookie played more than 6 games in the season, while Oden's rookie directly scrapped the uniform team in the season, hoping to make up for this mistake, so they adopted Powell's strategy and traded again. However, this time, God did not stand on their side.
This time, the Suns only sent two first-round draft picks. Some people said that the Suns were crazy and they were ready to rebuild, but they even sent out the first-round draft picks. As a result, the Suns' uniform team could exhale because they exchanged hope for the team to win the championship.
