98. New trainer

With Jackson's Dodge Ram, Chamberlain's life became much more convenient. Now the competition is intensive and he has no time to learn a driver's license. However, with Sardmons living with him, the latter basically had nothing to do except participate in anti-war activities, so he drove him to and from get off work.

In addition, Sardmons has another task, which is to pick up Shirley to school and go home.

Shirley had dropped out of school before. She usually did business in the fast restaurant at home, and occasionally practiced ballet, and her life was boring. Winnie helped her contact a school again, which is a church school. The teachers in this school are more caring and the relationship between classmates is relatively harmonious. In addition, this school is also the alma mater of Chamberlain and Sadmons, San Francisco St. Lawrence High School, which can be reached not far from the Golden Gate Bridge.

Girls are excellent in everything, but there is a birthmark on their cheeks. Because of her excellence, such girls are more likely to be boycotted by their peers, and those people will joke about her shortcomings.

Shirley is fourteen years old and has reached the age of middle school in the United States. There is no junior high school in the United States. Students go to school from the first grade to the ninth grade, and then go directly to high school.

The entrance exam is required to enter high school. Chamberlain and Winnie were worried about Shirley's study, but the girl got nearly perfect results in the admission test, which made the two feel relieved.

After winning the Pistons, the Warriors had two days off, which was considered as compensation for the league's back-to-back combat. Chamberlain is still a habit and chooses to practice on rest days. Thurmond appreciates his diligence very much. As long as Chamberlain trains, he will definitely be there to give advice.

Because it was a rest day and Chamberlain had plenty of training time, he and Sadmons took Shirley to school first. Shirley did not ask the two to send him to the school gate. When she entered school on the first day, she found the bus stop sign to the school and got off at the stop sign.

"Brother Z, goodbye Brother Doug." Shirley smiled and waved her hand. Her beautiful blonde hair exuded a touching luster under the rising sun, as if a golden waterfall poured down from the mountain.

After sending Shirley into the car, Chamberlain and Sadmons went straight to the training hall. As soon as they opened the door, they heard someone slapping the ball and talking and laughing. He looked in and saw that Thurmond was entangled with a slender black middle-aged man under the basket, while Winnie sat quietly on the side, not knowing what she was thinking.

The quiet Winnie has amazing charm. She is like a forest banshee carefully carved by the masters of the Renaissance era. She has a wonderful temperament and a three-dimensional facial features. If there are elves surrounding her, she can directly turn the training hall into a fairy tale.

After Chamberlain came in, Thurmond and the middle-aged man stopped playing and watched. The latter raised his hand and greeted him friendly: "Hi Z, you have done a beautiful job recently. I bet that you will become a nightmare for the other twenty-nine teams in the league in the future."

The middle-aged man who spoke was a light chocolatey skin, which should have a little white bloodline. He had a very pretty appearance and looked gentle and elegant, especially when he stood beside the terrorist Thurmond at this time, he looked even more handsome and handsome. For example, for these two people, the elves stood beside the orcs.

Chamberlain saw this middle-aged man very familiar, and he should be an NBA player, but he forgot what the person was named, but he just remembered that when he followed him to watch the NBA when he was a child, he often saw him, as if his surname was Curry.

The middle-aged man's praise for Chamberlain made him feel a little embarrassed. It wasn't that he was embarrassed to bear such praise. In fact, this was well deserved. What made him feel embarrassed was that he didn't know who he was when he praised him so much.

Fortunately, Winnie quickly introduced him and stood up and said lightly: "This is Dave Curry, your other teacher. In the future, he will specially train your mid-range shots and mid-range shots, especially correcting your shooting posture at the mid-range position."

After Winnie said this, Chamberlain suddenly remembered who this middle-aged man was. He used the way NBA players greeted him and first hit the middle-aged man with a fist, then hugged him and patted him on the back, and smiled and said, "Hello, Mr. Curry, my father is your fan. He has always praised your sharpshooter, and he thinks that you, like Reggie Miller, are the best sharpshooters in the NBA in the 1980s and 1990s."

This is lies. Chamberlain's father is a fan of the Warriors. The stars of other teams, even the Flying Emperor, have never conquered him. But good words may not be the truth. People praise him and he has to respond a few words, right?

Chamberlain did remember some information about Dave Curry, who was active in the NBA in the 1980s and 1990s. It was no problem to say that he was a sharpshooter. His career was known for his precise shooting, playing for the Charlotte Hornets, Timberwolves and Toronto Raptors.

Curry spent his golden career with the Charlotte Hornets, who took advantage of the NBA expansion opportunity to enter the NBA with the Timberwolves, Magic and the Heat in 1987. Curry once won the best sixth man with the Hornets in the 1993-94 season. At that time, the team also had Larry Johnson, Alonzo Mourning and other powerful players. These two were the Hornets' inside pillars, while Dave Curry was the core of the outside.

The flowery sedan chair is carried by people. After Chamberlain praised Curry, the atmosphere became harmonious. When he received the invitation from Winnie to serve as Chamberlain's shooting coach, Curry was a little hesitant. He used to concentrate on cultivating his son to play basketball, but as his son matured, he had nothing to do. Being an NBA player trainer is a good choice.

Before, Curry was worried about Chamberlain's temper. Big-name stars generally have bad tempers. Except for gentle gentlemen like Duncan and Nowitzki, the young and famous stars naturally have worse tempers. Because he had elbowed Bowen and had many popular penalty area scenes with his opponents, Chamberlain left an impression on those who were not familiar with him, which was arrogant and fierce.

Because the mid-range shooting was too poor, Curry and Chamberlain had a brief understanding and began to train him in the basic skills, mainly to help him correct his shooting posture and move his wrists. Shooting practice is not something that can be accomplished overnight.

At about noon, Old Nelson also came. He obviously knew Curry's arrival. Winny told him about this on the phone. While Curry was away, Old Nelson called Chamberlain and Winny, frowned and asked, "Children, tell me what's going on, why did Curry be the Z shooting trainer? Isn't Kenny doing well enough?"

Kenny is naturally Kenny Smith, the hardcore partner of TNT Ri Barkley.

Chamberlain shrugged and spread his hands to say he knew nothing about it. Winnie slowly said: "There are two reasons. One is that Coach Kenny is about to resign and he is ready to focus on developing his career in TNT; the other is that Mr. Curry is a good shooter, and most importantly, he is a good bridge to help us choose a very high-quality defender."

Chamberlain was confused about Winnie's answer. What does it mean? Is Dave Curry's friend of the super guard? There are many examples of signing stars through this method. First contact a star's friend, and then contact the star through this person. Back then, the Lakers used this trick to dig from the Magic to the Shark O'Neal.

Old Nelson understood what Winnie meant. He was slightly stunned and patted his forehead with his hand and said suddenly: "Why did I forget this? Not bad, child, you did a pretty job! You did a pretty job!"

Winnie barely responded to the boast of old Nelson, and seemed to be dissatisfied with his praise.

Chamberlain was confused, and he asked in confusion: "What do you mean? Which star Curry has a good relationship with?"

Old Nelson smiled mysteriously and said, "If I expected it well, Winnie will soon recommend this person to you. If you want to know the answer, then go find her, I can't give you the answer."

Chamberlain wanted to ask Winnie, but the latter had already turned around and left the two of them, leaving only a swaying back for him.

Curry's role is actually not big. Chamberlain's shooting posture is absolutely fine. His problem is that his strength is too strong and he cannot control this power when he jumps up and shoots. In other words, basketball is too light compared to him.

Chamberlain told Curry about his problem, who smiled and shook his head, saying, "No, Z, your problem is not here. If it is really because of your strength and you can't control him, then your free throws will be inaccurate. But in fact? Your free throws are enough to enter the top five of the big guys!"

Curry's statement is also very reasonable. He found a new training method for Chamberlain, which is to specially customize a dozen plastic balls of the same size as basketballs. The thickness of these balls is different. Some are as light as chicken feathers, while others are heavier than normal basketballs. Curry asked Chamberlain to use these balls to train his balls and train his confidence.

December 7 is a big day for the Warriors. This is the second day after they played the Pistons. According to the team's routine convention, after a day of rest, today we have to train in the team. The reason why today's training is so important is that we bid farewell to Byron Davis, who had been on the field for a month, made a comeback.

"I've been waiting for you to come back long ago." Seeing Davis change into training suits, Jackson smiled and went up and punched him.

Davis also laughed, and his bearded trembled: "Brothers, let me lead you to turn the league upside down! To be honest, it's not a good time to sit on the bench. I seem to be in hell for the past month. I swear I will never taste that feeling again in my life."

As he said this, Davis aimed at Chamberlain. Jackson and others smiled and did not respond, but also looked at Chamberlain.

Everything is fine, except for the sentence "Let me lead you to upset the league." Now even five-year-old fans know that the Warriors' tactical core is Chamberlain. How much does Old Nelson value him? It is manifested in the game, just to cultivate Chamberlain's growth, and the old man doesn't care about the outcome of the game.

In the words of Kenny Smith when TNT's national live Warriors game, that is, Old Nelson's only expectation for this season is that Chamberlain can grow up, and it doesn't matter if the team is bad in the season. This season he is specially used for Chamberlain to train troops.

Chamberlain reached out his hand and slapped Davis with a high-high, and said with a smile: "I can't wait for this day. Let me give the league a big surprise together."

Chamberlain's performance made most of the players in the team feel relieved. They are most afraid that he and Davis will fight each other. One is the former boss and the other is the current boss. They can't afford to offend them. The gods and the little ghosts will suffer. They don't want the team's record to plummet because of the two people's anger. Of course, they are even more afraid that their data will decline due to the two.
