90. Custody
Chamberlain's strong performance opened the eyes of Houston fans. The old Mutombo and Scola were completely unable to compete with him. He played hard in the inside and then passed the ball. He chased the opponent's defense from the outside and was able to assist and supplement the defense at any time. Adelman had to replace Yao Ming and McGrady with two minutes after he appeared.
Yao Mai appeared, and Old Nelson also replaced the main players such as Ellis and Jackson, and the final decisive battle in the fourth quarter began.
Chamberlain's strength inspired Yao Ming's arrogance. Since entering the NBA, the latter has been holding the halo of the number one Chinese center. Although Chamberlain is excellent, it is not enough to make him feel scared. He will not give his own honors. He wants to use his performance to fight back against those who question him.
Naturally, he was not afraid of Yao Ming and Chamberlain. No matter how the other party exploded, he had a way to deal with it, but when McGrady also exploded, he had no choice.
At this time, McGrady was no longer in peak condition, and the injuries to his lower back and ankle made him lose his style. Otherwise, the Warriors' outside line would not be embarrassed but collapsed in the first three quarters.
Like Yao Ming, he was also inspired by Chamberlain that lurking in his heart for a long time: the alliance may eventually belong to you, but at least it is not yet. The alliance is still our world!
In the fourth quarter, McGrady was a little crazy. As soon as he got on the court, he received Yao Ming's support and pulled up and jumped outside the three-point line and scored a three-pointer.
McGrady's pull-up is not only lethal, but also has a very beautiful appearance. When it comes to the killer moves among current players, except for Iverson's butterfly flower-piercing step, his pull-up jump shot is probably the most beautiful.
Yao Ming carried Chamberlain to push the penalty area, which was what the latter was afraid of because he had not yet recovered his touch, and he would not have any small hooks and big hooks. Once he left the penalty area, he would not have any threat on the offensive end.
In the last six minutes, although the Warriors worked together, they still lost to Yao and McGrady in the end - or to lose to McGrady's madness. McGrady scored 38 points in the game, and of which twelve points were scored in the last six minutes, with amazing efficiency!
At the end of the game, the beeps sounded, and the scoreboard at Toyota Center was finally frozen at 102:108, leading the opponent fifteen points from the end of the third quarter to six points behind the opponent. In the fourth quarter, the Warriors were scored 21 points by the Rockets. The worst thing was that the Warriors were not as good as before. On the premise of scoring 90 points in the first three quarters, they only scored 12 points in the fourth quarter. It was so embarrassing to think about it.
Old Nelson didn't care about this defeat, because this game exposed the biggest problem of the Warriors, that is, at the critical moment, no superstars came out to take over the game.
Although Ellis has strong scoring ability, he is not an iron man. He took a lot of action in the first three quarters, and his physical strength basically cannot keep up in the fourth quarter. Chamberlain is strong on the defensive end, and he has improved a lot on the attack end these days, but he is still far from the scorer.
"Develop Chamberlain's attack skills and improve his attack level!" After the game, Old Nelson found Winnie and said bluntly.
Winnie nodded and said, "Uncle Thurmond will teach him how to attack under the basket. If you leave the penalty area, someone else will teach Z. He can come to the team in at most one week."
Old Nelson was only satisfied. He believed that Winnie's vision was the one she could be attracted to, and that she was definitely qualified to train Chamberlain.
Chamberlain also knew this. In the fourth quarter, Yao Ming kept pushing him out of the penalty area and everyone in the league saw it. As long as Chamberlain stayed away from the basketball hoop, he would be ruined. This is the current consensus of all the coaches in the league.
Back to Oakland from Houston, Chamberlain didn't bother to go back to the Cliff House Villa to rest. He followed Thurmond and Winnie to the training hall and contacted the ball at the basket with the back of the ball.
In the afternoon, Jackson drove his Lamborghini to the stadium to get things. He saw Chamberlain and Thurmond fighting with his shirtless and constantly making a chaotic battle at the basket, so he sat down with his arms around and watched the battle.
Although Thurmond has retired for many years, he is still as stunning as a bodybuilder. Apart from Dali Restaurant, he spends the most time every day in fitness. In Winnie's words, this old man is unwilling to give up and hopes to come back one day to win a championship.
After practicing with Chamberlain for a while, Thurmond answered a phone call and left the stadium, asking Chamberlain to train himself.
Without Thurmond, it would be meaningless to see Chamberlain's training alone. Jackson wanted to leave, but Chamberlain blocked the door.
Looking at Chamberlain's malicious smirk, Jackson immediately became alert and held his butt and shouted: "Get out, I don't like men!"
Chamberlain was choked by this sentence, Jackson wanted to take the opportunity to run, but the former was quick-witted and pulled him down, shouting: "Boss Jack, you can't leave!"
"Why? You don't want me to train with you, right?" Jackson said so and broke out in a cold sweat. He struggled desperately and howled, "Don't think about it, I'm on the outside, I'm on the outside, I'm on the outside, I'm on the outside, I'm not going to be looking for death with you!"
For ordinary people, being Chamberlain's sparring is seeking death because this kid is best at physical confrontation and enjoys it.
Chamberlain hurriedly explained: "Don't get me wrong, Boss Jack, that's it. Winnie and I don't have a car. If you leave, no one will take us back, so you have to wait for me to finish practicing."
Jackson's Lamborghini is a sports car, so it's hard to put such a big guy as him, let alone a Tyrannosaurus-level existence like Chamberlain? But he doesn't mind carrying Winnie all the way. As long as you don't talk or lose your temper, Winnie is definitely a top beauty.
In order to avoid the car being ravaged, Jackson refused, "No, Z, I have something important to do now, I'm leaving soon, and you still have to train..."
Chamberlain interrupted Jackson with a sneer, "It's important? Which chick are you going to date again, right?"
Winnie walked up and said, "It just so happened that, Z, we have something to do. Today's training ends here. We have to go and go through the adoption procedures for Shirley."
Chamberlain suddenly realized and nodded quickly and said, "It's not bad, it's just right that we have to do things too, so we have to leave together."
Damn, Jackson lamented in his heart, and he looked at Chamberlain and Winnie helplessly and said, "You two are rich, don't you have cars, right?"
Chamberlain said with a smile: "You guessed it, but there is no reward."
When Jackson heard this, he laughed and patted his chest and said, "No wonder you want to get a car, let's do it. I have an unused Dodge Ram at home. It's an SUV. The interior space is definitely large enough. I'll give it to you tomorrow as a gift to celebrate your joining the Warriors."
Speaking of generous, no one in the Warriors can compare to Jackson who came from the street. Not to mention how he helped Artest stand out at the Auburn Hills Palace, just say that now, a car is delivered. Considering that Jackson's car is less than $100,000, this shows how deep his feelings for Chamberlain are.
Usually, jokes are jokes, and fights are fights, but when you get serious, the main thing is that the main thing cannot be confused.
When Chamberlain heard Jackson say this, he was slightly stunned and said, "Are you serious?"
Jackson nodded for granted and said, "Of course, what's the point of being serious or not? My Dodge Ram hasn't been driving at home for a long time. I have a good solution to give it to you. I don't want to sell it, and it will slowly rust in the garage, so it's better to give it to you."
Chamberlain quickly shook his head and said, "What are you kidding? This is too expensive, I can't ask for it. Besides, I don't even have a driver's license, so you can take the car to me..."
The smile on Jackson's face disappeared immediately. He looked at Chamberlain gloomy and sneered: "Do you think my car is too ragged?"
Chamberlain knew that Jackson was using provocation, but he could not refute it because if this topic continues, it may really become a rift of emotions, so he could only look at Jackson gratefully and said, "Thank you, Boss Jack."
Jackson immediately shook off the haze on his face and laughed boldly: "Who made me the boss and you a rookie? If you become the boss in the future, remember to give gifts to the rookie."
Chamberlain focused his attention and promised: "It must!"
With this, Chamberlain could no longer bother Jackson to send him, but the latter became timid and must send him and Winnie to go through the adoption procedures for Shirley.
Chamberlain couldn't resist and could only shrink to the back seat of Lamborghini and went back to the cliff house with the two of them. At the same time, he called Li Qun and asked her to meet at home together: Lamborghini was not very space, so he stuffed the back seat alone. If Shirley got in the car, there would be no place to sit.
Two cars and five people drove towards the Auckland Social Assistance and Security Bureau.
Shirley is less than sixteen years old now, and she is from a single family. Therefore, after her father is arrested, she has only two ways to go, either sent to an adoption home or adopted. Adoption homes are the same as orphanages. Of course, normal people don’t want to go anywhere. The most common ones are perverts and countless disgusting things. Every year, many adoption home scandals are exposed in California. A girl as delicate as Shirley may be destroyed as a scum after being sent in.
Originally, Chamberlain and Winnie discussed that the latter would adopt Shirley, but when they arrived at the Social Security Bureau, a fat woman in charge of protecting minors checked the computer and said that Winnie had a serious mental illness and did not have the right to adopt children.
When he heard this, Winnie clenched her fist and wanted to break the computer. Jackson stood at the door tremblingly, thinking that no wonder this girl is so perverted. It turns out that they guessed that this girl had a mental illness, so she would not be provoked in the future. Otherwise, if she was damaged, she would not be able to go to the court to sue her: This mental illness may not be a mental illness.
