84. I want Chamberlain

Shirley's drunkard father and the lustful Indian were handed over to the local police station, and the tricky thing now is Shirley's custody and her follow-up arrangements.

These matters are not under the control of the police station, and the latter is not interested in it. They directly kicked the ball to the National Social Welfare Security Agency and the Minor Children's Protection Institute. However, it is impossible to deal with matters related to the transfer of custody. Official units in the United States usually get off work at 5:30 pm, and the building was empty at this time.

The first thing to be affected is Shirley's accommodation problem tonight. Li Qun lives in a hotel with only one bed, so of course she cannot take Shirley with her. Chamberlain is now living in a big villa, and there are more than a dozen rooms in it. Even if there are dozens of Shirleys, you can arrange it. However, this is obviously not suitable. Chamberlain is now a public star, and there are dozens of paparazzi staring at her doorstep every day. When Shirley lives in his villa, she may be made up by paparazzi. Anyway, in order to attract attention, these people can do whatever they are.

The only candidate is Winnie. Fortunately, although Winnie has a bad temper, she likes Shirley very much, so Shirley will live with her for the time being. Anyway, the villa of Eddy Gottlieb is a little bigger than Chamberlain's.

After such a thing happened, of course Chamberlain could not invite Winnie and Li Qun to the cliff house for dinner. Who is still in the mood? They went to the Veterans Restaurant in Thurmond and had a delicious steak dinner.

Winnie is right. Thurmond's previous performance has already expressed that he is willing to be Chamberlain's defense trainer. The next day he came to the training hall and signed a contract with Chamberlain. He became his defense trainer with a weekly salary of 1,800 yuan. Among the star trainers, they often have a weekly salary of tens of thousands of dollars, which is an extremely low price.

Thurmond trains Chamberlain over other trainers, that is, he can directly play on the court, train Chamberlain with bright hand-to-hand combat, and teach Chamberlain with practical combat.

The happiest thing about Thurmond's arrival was not Chamberlain, but the blue-collar insider Reggie Evans who came to the Warriors shortly after.

Reggie Evans is only 2.03 meters tall, and his attacking strength is limited, and he has no other position to play except playing in the inside. Fortunately, he weighs more than 110 kilograms, has a pair of steel and iron bones, and has excellent bounce, extraordinary courage and outstanding rebounding ability. With this move, he has gained the opportunity to survive in the NBA.

However, due to his ability, Evans' development potential is limited to this. Although he has excellent rebounding skills, he even scored 0 points and 20 rebounds last season against the Toronto Raptors. Only Rodman has scored similar data in NBA history, but no team still attaches importance to him, and he cannot get an important position in any team. Not to mention starting, he is not even a major rotation.

This can be seen from this transaction that the Warriors only need a point guard, while the center doesn't matter. Chamberlain is a standard fierce man who can play 48 minutes in each game. No one can play as a substitute for him.

But Evans has a strong ambition. He knows his shortcomings and has always wanted to improve his abilities. He does not have the ambitions of Chamberlain. He wants to develop offensive means to make up for defensive flaws to break out the penalty area of ​​the league's dominant basketball field. He just wants to strengthen his poor defense ability. In this way, he can't be the second generation of Ben Wallace when he cooperates with his rebounding level.

Thurmond's appearance undoubtedly gave him this opportunity. You must know that the old man's defense level is top in NBA history, otherwise Winnie, who is above the top, would not invite him to come out to train Chamberlain.

While Thurmond was resting, Evans kept going to serve tea and water, asking about his well-being, and sipped on the "Thurmond Great" - it wasn't him flattering, but in fact it was indeed Thurmond's nickname. From this we can see how powerful Thurmond was in the NBA back then.

Evans also has a nickname, but it is called "joke". This nickname is really insulting.

Thurmond ignored Evans's conduct, drank it when the water was delivered, and wiped the sweat when the towel was received, as if Evans was just a waiter and should do this.

After a brief day of rest, on November 24, the Warriors welcomed their second opponent, the Los Angeles Lakers, who won the previous opening game.

The Lakers have a hard time this season. It is really hard to rely on Kobe alone to bring the team up. Since the start of the game, the Lakers have only won 4 games, which is almost the worst start for the Lakers in the past 20 years.

When he fought against the Warriors again, Kobe held back his energy and wanted to give his opponent a little color in this game to take revenge on the shame the Warriors left him in the opening game.

Kobe's personality is very similar to Jordan. He is not only motivated but also has a strong desire to take revenge. Anyone who has brought him shame will try every means to take revenge. No matter how long this opportunity for revenge will be waited, as long as it appears, it will not be spared.

However, there is a big difference between the two, that is, Mr. Qiao is very capable and can always complete revenge. And Kobe, haha, at least he failed to complete revenge against the Warriors in this game.

Kobe's determination to revenge today is not groundless. He has the confidence, because Odom, the second leader who has always been absent from the Lakers, returned two days ago. He believes that with Odom's help, it is difficult to win the Warriors, but it is not impossible.

At the beginning of the game, Chamberlain defeated the ball, Ellis broke through and wanted to play a fast break, but was given a hat by Kobe. Kobe showed his aggressive attitude from the first second of the game, and played Ellis with his back and turned around and jumped in the free throw area on the left wing, and scored two points steadily.

The Warriors immediately repaid, Pitrus missed a jump shot, Chamberlain suddenly snatched the rebound, and then jumped for a second time to complete the dunk in front of Bynum. This made Kobe very dissatisfied. Chamberlain's self-dumping and self-dumping really hurt the team's morale.

Kobe played singles again, and Barnes came up to help Ellis double-team him, but the black Mamba immediately transferred the ball to Odom. Odom had just returned and was eager to show himself. It was obvious that Kobe had told him in the locker room, knowing the importance of his own game, and after getting the ball, he directly entered the penalty area, raising his hand and the one-armed windmill was the one-armed windmill.

The windmill was halfway through and was destroyed. Chamberlain slapped him and sent the ball out of the penalty area. Louis, who started on behalf of the Warriors for the first time, ran down quickly. Ellis finally found a chance to take revenge. Kobe defended Louis, who did not have the opportunity to take a quick break and gave the ball to Ellis outside the three-point line. The latter completed the first long shot since the game.

Facts have proved that Odom's appearance cannot help Kobe. The former's potential and ability are unquestionable. Not everyone can get the reputation of the "left-handed magician". The problem is that he does not have the game attitude of the Magician Johnson, nor does he have the opponent's enterprising spirit. During the two-month quit period a while ago, he obviously did not train well. After returning to the court, his condition was very bad.

Fisher suppressed Louis with his strong body, and then broke through to attract Chamberlain's attention and passed the ball to Odom. As a result, Odom was not sure what he was thinking at that time, and the ball actually flew out of the court from front of him. At that time, Fisher directly hugged his head with both hands, his face full of disbelief.

What is even more unbelievable is that one minute later, Odom attacked with the ball again. After he encountered Chamberlain's encirclement, he threw the ball directly to the referee. As the referee of this game, the bald Crawford was stunned when he held the ball.

Of course Odom was not used like this. Phil Jackson, who was also furious, could no longer sit still. From the beginning, he felt as if he had hemorrhoids, and completely lost his "Zen Master" stability. He roared and changed Odom to the bench.

Whether or not Odom has little impact on this game because they lack a strong inside line and a strong inside line that can defend Chamberlain.

When Bynum first entered the league, the most favorable thing was his defensive ability, but in the face of Chamberlain's tough style of play, this guy was stunned. Since he was dunked by Chamberlain in the last game, he had a shadow on the latter in his heart. When Chamberlain repeatedly hit the ring, Bynum's defense was like a screen.

Winnie's offensive training is still very effective. Although Chamberlain does not have any backs, does not hook, and does not jump shots, his current off-ball cut is excellent, and he can always find opportunities to rush into the penalty area and occupy an unmanned position. In this way, what other players have to do is simple, just throw the ball into the ring.

"You just need to throw the ball within two feet of the periphery of the basket, and I will handle the other things!" Bynum should be ashamed of Chamberlain's domineering declaration, but the latter had not heard of it.

Like before, Kobe can only play singles, but with Barnes, Jackson, and Pitrus like these fierce men taking turns to play, how much power can Kobe retain in singles?

However, the Warriors do not limit Kobe's singles, because no matter how strong a person is, he cannot beat a team of five people. Moreover, Kobe is an outside player, and his singles rely more on breakthroughs and shooting. With Chamberlain in the inside, his breakthrough power has been greatly reduced and he can only rely on shooting.

It is never possible to shoot a team to kill a shot. Kobe has so many opportunities to shoot. Even though he made a lot of shots, he missed more.

The result of this game was a foregone conclusion after the first quarter. Kobe, who was determined to take revenge, returned in disgrace again. The Lakers lost to this little brother in the same city with 78:108!

In the NBA, California has only one ace team, that is, the Lakers. Whether it is the Clippers or the Warriors, these teams have always lived under the shadow of the Lakers' glory, and are never taken seriously by the nobles of the capital.

As a result, the feng shui changed. This time the Emperor's throne was the Warriors' turn to sit on. The Warriors fans finally had the opportunity to be proud. The Lakers fans are now only upset and sluggish. Facing the proud Warriors fans, they were all angry except for a few sour comments.

What's even more angry is Kobe. After the team was defeated by the Warriors again, he got angry on the spot and couldn't even wait to return to Los Angeles. At the post-match press conference, he slapped the table and yelled: "If Bass can't bring me a good helper, a good helper like Chamberlain, then just trade me directly! I want the championship, I want the helper to help me compete for the championship!"

The reason why Jordan was able to complete revenge repeatedly was that he was a genius, but also because he had talented assistants such as Pippen, Rodman and Kukoc, and now he was around Kobe? Apart from Fisher, he could also give him some help, the other lineups are really unbearable to witness!

In this game, Kobe scored 38 points, 12 assists, and 11 of 12 free throws. His performance was really impeccable. However, facing Chamberlain, who scored 7 of 9 shots and scored 18 points and 20 rebounds, this result was really not good.
Chapter completed!
