64. Knights attack
Louis Williams, who participated in the draft in 2005, was selected by the Philadelphia 76ers in the 15th pick in the second round. He is the first high school player to be selected in the draft since 1975.
This is related to his performance in high school. During his high school years, he contributed a total of 3,338 points, 768 rebounds, 650 assists and 355 steals to his alma mater team. Because of this performance, shortly after being selected by the 76ers, his alma mater, South-Gwinnett-HS, also officially retired the No. 23 jersey he had worn.
Louis Williams was definitely a star player in the United States. He won the Naismith Award in 2005, which symbolizes the highest honor of high school students in the United States. He also won the title of Georgia Basketball Mr. in two consecutive years (03-04, 04-05) in his high school career.
Before the 2005 draft, in the scout's report, Lewis Williams was a sharp lethal player. He averaged 32.5 points, 6 rebounds and 4.1 assists per game in his second season at SouthGwinnett High School.
However, in his first season in the NBA, that is, the 2005-06 season, Williams averaged only 4.8 minutes of playing time and averaged only 1.9 points per game, which was a bit embarrassing. But there was a reason for this, because he was a substitute for Iverson at that time, and AI, like Chamberlain, was an Iron Man who could play the whole game.
Since last season, Williams began to make his mark, with his average playing time increasing to 11 minutes, his scoring increased to 4.5 points, and his assists reached nearly twice. However, his future for the 76ers is not optimistic, because even if Iverson goes away from Denver, the team still has a strong organizational defender, that is Andre Miller, who Mullin is determined to get the Warriors!
For the young and energetic Williams, Miller, who is in his prime, is definitely an insurmountable mountain. In addition to his poor long-range shooting ability, Andre Miller can be regarded as a top point guard. For the rebuilt 76ers, he is the decisive needle. So when he learned that Mulin wanted to exchange him for him, Old Nelson directly rejected it.
The candidate recommended by Chamberlain is Louis Williams. They played against the 76ers not long ago. Williams played for about fifteen minutes, with average results, only scored 5 points and 2 assists. However, his vitality and impact left a deep impression on Chamberlain. Once in a fast attack, this guy actually wanted to deduct Chamberlain!
In that game, Chamberlain completely beat the main center of the 76ers, Dalem Porter, and performed extremely fiercely. Most of the 76ers chose to dodge their edge, except Williams. The young man, who was only 1.86 meters tall, showed strong courage when facing Chamberlain, and was not afraid at all. He kept threading needles in the game, which left a deep impression on Chamberlain.
After exchanging opinions with Chamberlain, Old Nelson nodded and returned to the training ground. They need to prepare for their seventh game of the season, playing against LeBron James, the most popular league in the league. The young emperor will lead his Royal Guard to Oakland to challenge the Warriors.
After leading the team to the finals last season, the Cavaliers have maintained a rapid progress this season, with a record following the Celtics. The regular season has started with six wins and one loss, ranking second in the East. And its core James has performed extremely well. In the MVP ranking given by ESPN, he ranked behind Kobe and is also second.
Throughout November, the Warriors' schedule was relatively abundant and comfortable. They basically had one away game and one home game, and occasionally even played two away games in a row. However, there has been no such good thing since December. They have six back-to-back to play throughout the season, and one in December.
From the next day, Biderlings was put on the observation list, which is the ‘SUSPENSION list’. Everyone knows what this means. Biderlings’ deal has been put on the agenda. There are also related reports from the outside world that Mullin recently contacted the Raptors’ general manager, and it is said that he wanted to trade Biderlings for Calderon.
It is rare that the Warriors' locker room has become lost before the game. Players sit in their positions boredly, playing with their mobile phones or playing electric, just because no one is joking casually like before.
During the pre-match interview, the reporters were almost all about Biderlins' trading issues, and no one paid attention to the game itself. This made Jackson very angry, and he roared and threatened the reporters to return to the topic, otherwise they would be kicked out of the locker room.
Bidlins tasted the taste of spotlights for the first time this season, but he felt uncomfortable because the reporters paid attention to him because of his transfer rumors.
When he appeared, the Warriors enjoyed the warm cheers of home fans as always. When Biderlings appeared, the fans were restless. Some people angrily called him "Judas" and "traitors" and asked him to get out of the Warriors quickly. However, there were still a large number of people who raised their cards or slogans in their hands, begging Biderlings to stay and not leave:
"Violent ace, let's create glory together!"
“ABN=Andris-Biedrins-OF-NBA (Andris-Biedrins in the NBA)”
"Stay, go on stage, be brilliant, and have a lifetime!"
Seeing these signs and slogans, Bidlins burst into tears. He didn't expect that when he expressed his intention to leave the team, so many people would keep him. The previous game made him think that because of Chamberlain's appearance, the Warriors fans no longer needed him as the inside, but now it seems that the fans in Oakland and San Francisco have not forgotten him!
This is the advantage of small city teams. They may have few fans, but because there are not so many activities and clubs, as long as they are fans, they are loyal fans.
Fans have not forgotten what Biderlins has given to the Warriors. In the years when Chamberlain has not arrived, this foreigner was carrying other teams' big and round inner muscles with his thin body, and he used his violent blocks to defend the Warriors' penalty area. He was fighting with his opponents in the penalty area again and again to compete for rebounds.
Perhaps some players have forgotten all this. They have already owned the new king of the penalty area, but more people have not forgotten it. These are the backbone of a team, and these fans are the team's real wealth.
Looking at these enthusiastic fans, regrets about the transaction appeared in Drings' heart, but now it's too late to regret. How could the water poured out be taken back? If the team secretly wanted to trade him, everything would be easy to say, but now he did not discuss with the team and directly broke the remarks of demanding for the transaction to the media.
The Warriors have had to trade him because for the uniforms, Bidlins has become a time bomb and must be cleaned up.
Chamberlain looked at Bidlings in a complicated mood. He was full of guilt for the deal. It was his arrival that forced Bidlings away. He still remembered the joke that Bidlings joked about him when he first came, saying that a training match would knock him away, but Chamberlain squeezed him away.
After seeing Biderlings, Chamberlain was attracted by James again. The new league overlord was biting his fingernails with relish, as if he was eating Haagen-Dazs. There was a satisfied expression on his face, which surprised Chamberlain.
James' attention was also on Bidlings. Before the game started, he came over to say hello to the group. When he arrived at Bidlings, he stopped and started a long talk. It seemed that this guy had bad intentions towards Bidlings.
But this is normal. In the finals last season, the Cavaliers led by the Spurs were swept 4:0 and ate a duck egg. The reason why this caused everything was that the Cavaliers' inside line could not give him strong help, forcing him to enter the inside line that he was not good at again and again, and then was abused by Duncan.
Bidlins is a high-quality inside player and has a strong attraction to James. Of course, Chamberlain is more attractive, but everyone knows that Chamberlain will not be the second-in-command in any team, and the Warriors are already training him as the core boss.
At the beginning of the game, the Warriors' starting lineup was as usual, Chamberlain + Harrington + Jackson + Ellis + Azubuk. The Cavaliers' center is Big Z Ilgoskas, the power forward is Drew Gooden, the small forward is LeBron James, the organizational defender is Daniel Gibson, and the shooting guard is Sasha - afraid of Provic.
Ilgoskas is a high-quality center, terrible height of 2.21 meters, has a very high basketball IQ, rich offensive methods, experienced defensive experience, and is also very active. However, due to the muscle type, he will never become a defensive king like Ben Wallace and Chamberlain. Overall, he and Yao Ming are of the same type.
Of course, all of this was before 2006. Since he was injured in 2006, Big Z's ability has been much worse than before. His movement speed has dropped significantly, which is also the reason why he struggled to play against Duncan last season.
When jumping the ball, Chamberlain easily obtained the ball from Ilgoskas, who was taller than him. Azubuk used his strength to eat Gibson and pushed from the midfield to the three-point line in a row, like a bulldozer, rumbled in.
Daniel Gibson was the surprise that the Cavaliers got in last year's draft. He was born in the second round and soon after entering the NBA, he became the right starting point guard. In the finals last season, he played a beautiful game against Parker. Of course, the final result was that he was crushed by Parker.
Gibson is also the focus of the Warriors' inspection, but they know that the Cavaliers will not let Gibson go, because although this team lacks inside, it lacks outside! In fact, except for small forwards, this team lacks people in other positions.
This is James' superstar effect. For example, compare the team to a person and the player to a part of the person. James is a pair of leather shoes, while others are tie, coat, shirt, belt, pants, etc. The current Cavaliers are wearing a pair of brand new Versace leather shoes, which are shiny and shiny, and you can tell that they are high-end products at a glance.
What about the other parts? The tie is from Big Z and Jinli, which is pretty good. Guden is from the shirt and Seven Wolf brand. As for suits, pants, belts, etc., they are all Bennilu, Adidi, etc., and they are all fake!
The configuration of other teams may not be good, but it is relatively average. Just like someone wears a set of Hongxing Erke, the price of the whole body is not as expensive as Versace's pair of leather shoes, but it looks much better than the Cavaliers' dress.
