"I'm going to cut them off first, how do you see?" Old Nelson handed the information to Chamberlain.
Chamberlain expected the two people that the old man wanted to cut off, center Golan Sudon and guard CI Watson. The former was really not capable. After all, it was the last few players in the second round. He was very tall, but nothing else except height. He was good at rebounding in the NCAA, but when he arrived at the NHAO, he found that his lower limbs were not strong enough and he did not have the upper hand in the summer league confrontation.
CI - Watson has no problem with his ability, but the Warriors have too many defenders. Not to mention Billups, this is the main force, Curry is a double-efficient position, and because of West's existence, he will focus on the guard, and there is another Marbury, so there will be no Watson's living space.
Chamberlain nodded and said, "That's the two of them, by the way, how about that Biyongbo?"
Speaking of Biyongbo, Old Nelson was a little excited and said: "He has a very good physical fitness. For defense, he has strong strength, amazing wingspan, excellent consciousness, flexible footsteps, and great bounce. If he is crafted, he might really become Mutombo's second generation. But he can't attack and has no consciousness at all. Even if he practices hard, he may not be able to practice anything other than dunks."
Chamberlain's face was happy, but Old Nelson waved his hand and said, "There is a question now, that is, how old is this kid? He said he is 17 years old, but I don't look like it. I asked the team to test his bone age. My mother is at least 19 years old. This bastard keeps insisting that he is 17 years old."
Age is important because it represents potential. Why, in 204, Howard, a high school student who was able to win the No. 1 pick and won the NCAA invincible, could only be ranked second? It is because of age and potential. The younger the age, the stronger the plasticity, and even after scientific conditioning of NHAR spoons, you can even grow taller.
Chamberlain smiled bitterly and said, "Then this is really the second generation Mutombo."
How old is Mutombo? This is also a legend of NHAR Spoon. He comes from a tribe in Nigeria. People there plant a tree behind the house one year old. As a result, Uncle Mu’s family is not well managed and many of the trees he planted died. Therefore, his age has become a mystery.
"Send him to the Renault Bighorns first to train. Anyway, the NHDL is definitely much better than in the Spanish fourth division." Old Nelson shook his head and said. The Renault Bighorns are a subordinate team of the Warriors in the NHDL, and they jointly manage this team with the Kings.
Finally, Chamberlain was about to leave, and Old Nelson called him and asked, "What do you feel about the current lineup? I mean, how do you hope the team will strengthen?"
Faced with the crazy strengthening of other teams in the league such as the Celtics, Magic, Cavaliers, and Heat, the Warriors signed a Marbury who no one wanted. The fans were very dissatisfied. The Knicks and others used this to attack the Warriors, saying that they were too stingy and stingy, and kept seducing Chamberlain. As long as the latter was willing to join their team, what was said was definitely what you would give to you whoever you wanted.
Chamberlain laughed and said, "It's already very good. I'm confident that we will still be the champion next season." As he said that, he paused, clenched his fists and continued, "This time the PNVP will be me."
Old Nelson nodded with a smile and signaled that he could go to play. The old man felt relieved: "Until the preseason, you don't have to worry about the team's affairs, go and play by yourself."
The preseason is in late October. Since it's okay, Chamberlain is preparing to return to China in September. One is to promote the championship brand, the second is to participate in NHA basketball without boundaries, the third is to practice with the men's basketball team, and the fourth is to fulfill other contracts of broken dogs, and they are not idle anyway.
When the finals were just over, Chamberlain felt that the holiday was boring, but since the Summer League, things continued.
In early August, Chamberlain received a call from Bowen, who calmly told him that he was retired and held a retirement ceremony in San Antonio, hoping that he would attend.
Although Bowen used a trick in the Western Conference semi-finals, they were all for their own purposes, which had no conflict with their relationship. Chamberlain often did charity with him, so when he received the invitation, he rushed to San Antonio.
Bowen is definitely not very popular in the league. He had a good relationship with Carter, Junzi Lei, and Nash, but because of his tricks, these people turned against him one after another, so there were not many stars he could invite. Chamberlain called Hill, Billups and Iverson to support the game. The latter was having a divorce with his wife, so he thought it was coming to relax and ran over.
The retirement ceremony was held on B.C. The ATmnT Center Arena was specially opened for him, and fans can enter and watch it for free.
The former hero of the championship and the famous "Uncle Bao San" in the league, once famous for his ubiquitous tricks, "Blackfoot Prince" was famous in the world. Kobe's eyes were thorns, the man Ray Allen hated the most, and the Spurs "killer" that McGrady was extremely afraid of, now put on a suit, shaved his beard, and turned into a gentle middle-aged man.
Entering the stadium, Chamberlain and Bowen hugged, laughing, "Man, I hardly recognize you, you bastard, you are like a teacher now, it's incredible."
The Warriors are absolutely unpopular in San Antonio, and Chamberlain is the number one enemy of the fans of Quds City. They eliminated the Spurs in the Western Conference Finals for two consecutive seasons. How many fans of Quds City cannot sleep at night? Whenever Chamberlain is mentioned, fans want to swallow their flesh and drink their blood alive.
However, today is the day when Bowen retires. Holy City fans can hate Chamberlain, but they cannot disrespect Bowen and give this old guy face. Therefore, when the four Warriors entered the court, they not only did not get booed, but instead enjoyed applause because there were not many players coming to the scene.
The retirement ceremony began, and the large screen above the stadium began to play specially made films. From Bowen's entry into the Spurs in 1997 and until the end of the season, there was an interview from Bowen, which was in 1997. Bowen was defeated in the draft, and then the Celtics recruited him, and then a reporter interviewed him.
At that time, Bao Wen was not the third uncle, but should be called the third brother. He was also very bright and beautiful, and in the face of the reporter's interview, he said excitedly: "I joined a great team. I am very grateful to him for bringing me into the league. I will perform well and I will not let him down. Really, I will use everything I can to help the team. If possible, I will stay in this team until I retire..."
Then, the big screen flashed. Ironically, Bowen was traded to the Philadelphia 76ers after spending more than a short season with the Celtics and became teammates with Iverson. In 26 years, he went to the Miami Heat again, and the Heat did not take him in. Soon after, Popovich officially recruited him into the Spurs.
In the league, Bowen has changed the team from a hot-blooded young man to a calm middle-aged man. When joining the Spurs, he smiled bitterly: "I hope I can stay in this team for a little longer and promise God that I am willing to do my best to help this team. God, I really don't want to wander anymore. If possible, please retire here."
B's voice sounded and said, "In a blink of an eye, 13 years have passed, the young man has become an old man, the rookie has become an old bird, the Celtics' soldiers have become an iron-blooded Spurs striker. Time has changed a lot of things, but Bowen's promise has never changed. Yes, guys, every Spurs fan, he has fulfilled his promise, and he has given everything he has for this team, even if he has lost his friendship because of it.
He finally stayed with this team and retired. As he once said, his best career was spent on this team. His youth, his golden years, and his most beautiful memories were all dedicated to our Spurs, fans, every fan friend, let us give applause and let us cheer for him for the last time.”
A row of fans in front of him opened the slogan, which read: Thank you, Bruce, you have always been the pride of the Holy City.
Bowen sorted out his suit and waved his arms to the fans. Chamberlain and others were all under the rostrum. He looked up at Bowen and clearly saw the cunning villain who had made the whole league grit his teeth, with crystal tears flashing in his eyes.
"In the past few years, Ginobili and Parker have been the happiest players in the league because they don't have to face Bowen's defense." Iverson said with a smile. "It's a pity. Although it's not that comfortable, to be honest, it's a unique memory."
O'Neal also said: "NHAO will also have Jordan successor, Big Bird successor, Magician successor, Big Shark successor, but there will never be Bowen's successor. In fact, in this era, if he could enter the league ten years ahead of schedule, he would become a hero in Detroit. I bet that the Pistons will do everything possible to get him over. I'm right, Chauncey?"
Billups nodded and said, "Yes, he should go to Detroit, where he will be a hero, like Isaiah and Dumas, Ranbirs."
The big screen introduces classic shots and classic photos. Bao Wen is not the kind of outside line who only knows how to defend. His running position, his long shot, and his cover are definitely at the master level. Unfortunately, all of this is covered up by his dirty defense center.
Interspersed in the introduction of B∫, it was the speech of the invited stars. O'Neal was the first to come on stage. He liked the funny sharks and Bowen's heavy hugs. He had a rare serious expression on his face and said, "Bruce Bowen, my old friend, is honored to be a great player's retirement ceremony. It is very sad to see a great player leave this arena. This is a real team player, a competitor, a citizen role model, and a master in the position he plays. How grateful Duncan is to him, just like how grateful I am to De Fisher."
Fans applauded, Bowen came on stage to thank him, and he said: "Shake, thank you for coming today. What you said is very good. I am honored to have such a praise from you. In addition, I am very grateful to myself for having such an opportunity to play professional basketball. Thank you for supporting me over the years. I am honored to be able to play here."
Then, Bowen began to give a speech on his retirement. He held the microphone and bowed everywhere. The fans applauded him and cheered him. After the shouts stopped, he said:
"I can understand the team as to send me to Milwaukee, and it's business. But for me, I made this decision today and finally retired today, and it was also thoughtful. This is a very important moment. I want to thank my coach and friends for having too many memories and time in San Antonio and at the ATmnT Arena. I can't convince myself to play for a team that was still an opponent a few months ago. Maybe I'm old and have too rigid ideas, but I'm so stubborn. I think my soul has been branded as the Spurs."
"I hope everyone can remember those happy days together, remember my stories, and my 'lovely, shooting, and if you want, you can put a picture of me at home. Remembering the beautiful time of Old Bowen here, I am very happy to be able to live and fight with everyone here. Of course, I feel very excited to see this place live again because of the arrival of young people."
"I'm glad that on the day I retired, I turned around and found that our team had reached a higher level than when I first joined, and it was still improving. We have worked hard in the past eight years, and trading and retirement are just part of life. I feel very lucky to be able to come to San Antonio. Here I have won three championships and so many amazing friendships. What else can I hope for?"
"Thank you Mr. Popovich, thank you Tim, Tony and Ginobili, thank you every teammate, thank you every fan, I think I may never forget the days and nights in this stadium, those stories that are either beautiful, sad, happy, or excited. Thank you for your willingness to listen to an old man's nagging, let's see you, goodbye."
