The Los Angeles Times used a photo to cover their sports section. In that photo, a big man in a No. 0 jersey flew sideways, and there were two people in front of him, one was Parsons. He landed on the ground and looked up at the sky, and another was flying in the air, but it seemed that he was falling, and that was Garnett.
The photos are clear enough to see the shocked expressions on Parsons and Garnett's faces.
On the top of this photo, a line of letters that are enlarged and bold are eye-catching - "The Handover of the Scepter, the New Era is Finally Arrived".
"With Ai, KB24, Nash, Marbury and Peja entered the league, the 96 Golden Generation began to appear on the NBA stage. Around that year, there were kg21, td21, tmg, Jason Kidd, Nowitzki and Wensi Carter, etc. After entering the league, these young people quickly opened their era, a glorious era, and an era of the gods fighting for hegemony.
In that era, even the four centers, Jazz twins, and gliders, Barkleys could only retreat unwillingly. Although they could still produce shocking data and play pleasing games, no one could deny that their era was over.
As this season progresses, we are delighted to see countless new stars rising slowly. At the same time, some once-glorious superstars are gradually becoming dim. The three giants are combined, Kobe needs Gasol as his assistant, O'Neal is troubled by injury, and a generation of genius Ai has to go far away. Seeing all this, can we ask if it is about to start a new era?
If NBA wants to usher in a new sky, there is no doubt that super-z must be one of the most brilliant stars. With his potential, he has the opportunity to become the brightest one in the starry sky, just like the former Jordan Emperor!
His progress was so fast, so fast that it was dazzling. Not long ago, a few months ago, two months or three months? I don't know, anyway, when the Celtics first met the Warriors, the young man was so clumsy that he was beaten into a sieve by Kevin Garnett that Coach Don Nelson had to switch him to the bench to protect him.
But just yesterday, in yesterday's game, the young man fought against the Big Three again. He handed over the excellent data of 28 points, 22 rebounds, 8 blocks and 4 steals in 42 minutes. If every game of the player is an assessment, then in this exam, this child is well-deserved first place!
The most terrifying thing is that in the exams he participated in, except for a few times, he was the first place in the exam most of the time, and he threw out so many second place every time!
…”
The Los Angeles Times is not stingy with praise and gives Chamberlain a very high evaluation, which is even higher than Kobe this season. You should know that the Los Angeles Times is the most influential newspaper in California and has an important influence on the entire West Coast. In addition to the Lakers, the child, the Los Angeles Times, who has a high reputation, rarely pays attention to other teams, let alone praise a player with such praise.
Chamberlain's performance in the last game was so exciting, especially the attack he made when he dunked his opponent twice in a row, which directly gave the Celtics a fatal blow in terms of momentum. You should know that it is not a messy guy who defends him, it is Garnett, who is known as the number one in defense, Kevin Garnett!
But even so, he was still shook away. Chamberlain used unquestionable facts to tell the doubtful fans that he was now on a road to the great bluestone.
If the Los Angeles Times praised Chamberlain for such a suspicion of revenge on his mortal enemy - the Celtics was the lifelong enemy of the Purple Gold Noble in NBA history. The two teams ruled the NBA in turn, and only the decade when Jordan rose was exceptional, so it seems that the newspaper's unshirkable responsibility to attack opponents.
But the same is true for other media. Almost all newspapers in the United States praise Chamberlain, especially this child not only performs well on the court, but also impeccable off the court.
At the press conference, when reporters asked Chamberlain what he felt like to lead the team to win this great victory, he said this:
"There is no doubt that this is a great game. Our opponents deserve respect. No matter how much they fall behind, they fight to the end. They are a bunch of old guys. I firmly believe that I can defeat them, but they always surprise me and teach me classes. After every game, I will find that there are so many things worth learning from them.
I played well in this game - this evaluation is even a bit high, because anyone who really understands the ball knows that the hero of this game is not me, of course I don’t want to use the official words of the so-called victory is the credit of five people, etc. to swear you. I mean, there is a guy who performed better in this game, that is Deronti West.
West was the hero of this game. He even became our captain when he was on the court. We didn't play well in the first quarter, and I was stunned. I didn't know what to do. Fortunately, I have a group of good teammates. Every time I encounter such a thing, someone will stand up resolutely. This time it was West who stood up. He planned a series of counterattacks and was effective. If I had to use one word to describe him, then I would say that he is today's 'hero'!"
"The valiant hero on the court, the gentleman is elegant under the court" - "San Francisco Morning Post"
"Qualified leaders may participate in presidential elections after they grow up and retire" - New York News
"The Prodigal Son Will Not Change Gold, Do You Reply to the Green Shirts" - Phoenix Sports News
"The top and bottom are united, united, the warriors are invincible" - "espn Sports Morning News"
Chamberlain's performance of not taking credit after winning is obviously very good at winning fans. Similarly, his teammates also enjoy such praise. West did not leave the locker room after the game for the first time, and a group of people were playing and joking. Although he did not participate, he smiled on his face, which had never been before.
West's happiness was not because he scored 15 points tonight or that Chamberlain praised him in front of the media, but because after he made the results in the previous game, his teammates were sincerely happy for him. After he returned to the bench, everyone sincerely praised him. Old Nelson even admitted that he underestimated him before.
This is a team worth cherishing, West is unruly, but not stupid.
After a while, the two sides separated. Chamberlain was the last one to come back to take a shower because of the press conference. After he took a shower, the previously bustling locker room became empty and quiet, and only West was sitting in front of the closet.
"Why aren't you leaving yet?" Chamberlain asked with a smile, "Are you leaving me to thank me?"
West grinned, and when he noticed that he was smiling, he was suddenly surprised. When did he smile so easily? Since his girlfriend left and got sick with his daughter, he seemed to have rarely smiled.
Seeing West's distracted look, Chamberlain knew that he must have something to think, so he sat down. West licked his lips, and he hesitated and said, "z, you know, I really thank you..."
"If it's for this, then there's no need to say that we are our own brothers, so there's no need to thank you for it." Chamberlain interrupted him.
West was stunned, then he lowered his head, and after a long time he raised his head, gritted his teeth and said, "z, can you lend me some more money?"
The money that Chamberlain lent to him last time had not been paid back, and Chamberlain didn't ask for it either. Generally speaking, the income of NBA stars is very high. Although West is now receiving a rookie basic salary, it is close to one million dollars a year. Moreover, it has been a while since Chamberlain last lent to him, at least the Warriors have paid him a salary, but he still hasn't paid it back.
Chamberlain looked at West and asked, “How much do you want to borrow?”
West was a little surprised and asked back, "Why don't you ask me why I always borrow money?"
Chamberlain smiled, and he patted West on the shoulder and said, "We are all brothers in the Warriors. Do I have anything else to trust you?"
There may have been one before, but with the words before West left tonight, he felt that this kid was not bad in nature. ‘Boss z, my mission has been completed, and I will see you later. The Warriors will win!’ This sentence is still clearly lingering in his ears.
West sat down slowly, and he sat next to Chamberlain, reached out to cover his face, and then said in a depressed voice: "I need money, a lot of money, my daughter is a little sick and needs treatment. In the past, I spent a lot of money and borrowed a lot of usury to treat her. The last time I borrowed money to repay the loan."
"How much is needed?" Chamberlain asked West again.
West said dryly: "At least one million and a half million are needed!"
Chamberlain was shocked and couldn't help but say: "What disease does it cost so much?"
West shook his head and said, "What's more important is to repay the loan. My girlfriend left me. Before she left, she borrowed about 600,000 yuan of usury in my name. At present, the total amount of money plus interest has reached more than one million..."
Chamberlain scratched his face. This problem was a bit tricky. It was obvious that West had an unbearable past. Although it was not very clear, he could imagine the story summary. It should be that West had a daughter with his girlfriend. As a result, the girl was seriously ill in congenital condition. He had a bad temper. His girlfriend couldn't stand it and left him. Before leaving, she borrowed a lot of usury loans in his name. No wonder this guy had such a perverted temper.
West curled up his knees, his head between his knees, his figure was lonely and weak, no longer as brave as the gods on the court before, nor his usual unrulyness.
Chamberlain took a deep breath and asked, "Man, can you guarantee that if the coach gives you enough playing time, can you guarantee that you will perform like this tonight? Or half of it is OK..."
"No problem!" Although West didn't understand what Chamberlain meant to ask, he still answered decisively.
Chamberlain said slowly: "There is one thing I haven't mentioned to you. There was a sneaker agent who wanted to contact you, but he didn't have your contact information, so he contacted me. He was willing to give you a contract, and the agency was two years, and the speech fee was about four million per year..."
Perhaps out of compassion, Chamberlain wanted to take a gamble.
Chapter completed!
