106. Someone will always stand up
Seeing Chamberlain breaking through the penalty area and making a fake layup, the fans in Oracle Stadium lit up their eyes, and D'Antoni's face remained unchanged. Now, all teams in the league except the Warriors hope that Chamberlain can't develop attacking skills and be a jumping man, but his attack made these people feel bad.
What's even worse is that in the subsequent attack, Dior forced Harrington to turn and hook his hand, but Chamberlain flew away with a hat. Two rounds later, it was Laga Bale's turn for the same person at different positions. This time, this tough guy finally broke through Barnes and went to the inside. Just as he threw the ball, Chamberlain came out of the penalty area and made another big hat.
Now the Suns' attack was embarrassing. Barbosa kept floating outside with the ball. Even if Louis couldn't keep up with his speed, he would not dare to break into the inside and fight.
The fans burst into laughter at the Oracle Stadium. The Suns kept passing the ball from the outside, and anyone could guess their little thoughts.
When the ball was passed to Hill, Hill did not continue to pass the ball. He tentatively stepped forward. Azubuk didn't care much. Seeing this, Hill immediately raised his other heel, took two consecutive steps and threw Azubuk away, and rushed to the penalty area.
Hill's first step in breakthrough was very fast. Before his ankle was injured, his first step was hailed as the first step of the league, known as "one step heaven, one step hell". Almost no one can catch up with it. Although he is old and injured, his foundation is still there, and Azubuk can't keep up with this step.
Marx still did not provide any help to his teammates. Hill obviously wanted to break into the penalty area. As a result, Chamberlain easily settled Marx and then focused on dealing with Hill.
Hill's speed near the penalty area began to decline, and Chamberlain bent slightly and his arms were spread out to give him a big hat. This way, even if the Suns starter took a blocked family photo, he would be the starter of the Suns.
Hill turned sideways to exchange for distance, and forced himself to rise up against Chamberlain, raised his arms high on his outside, and grabbed the ball with one hand and had to hook and shoot.
Chamberlain jumped up with it. This kind of ball was not challenging. If it were Yao Ming, this hook could be possible, but Hill would not do it. Chamberlain had absolute confidence to block the ball.
But Hill did not take action at will. When Chamberlain raised his hand to be blocked, he was about to shoot with one hand, but suddenly his body forced to twist from sideways to facing Chamberlain. He also changed to holding the ball with one hand to holding the ball with both hands. His body shrank and drilled into Chamberlain's armpits, and then he threw the ball out.
The referee's whistle rang in time, and Chamberlain was shocked. Hill actually took the initiative to commit a foul!
The two bodies collided, how could Hill, who was old and old, withstand the young and energetic Chamberlain? When the two collided hard, he bounced out and fell heavily to the ground.
Hill was on the ground with his back. Although it relieved the impact, it was still painful. He supported his hands and wanted to stand up, but one hand reached in front of him. He didn't think he was a teammate, so he held his hand and was pulled up by the other party.
After getting up, Hill realized that it was Chamberlain who pulled him, which surprised him and asked subconsciously: "Why are you pulling me?"
Chamberlain shrugged and asked, "Why are you so desperate?"
Hill smiled, he didn't answer. After standing at the free throw line, he said to Chamberlain: "At this time, as a member of the team, I have to stand up."
Chamberlain was silent, he served to the bottom line, and then suddenly said to Louis: "If Amare Stoudemire had a big heart as tough as Grant Hill, then he might be able to really beat me up."
Things are unpredictable. Chamberlain used to hear that Hill's style of play was weak. In the first few seasons of entering the league, although Hill had a prominent record in the NBA regular season, he never led the Pistons to make a difference in the playoffs, which attracted a lot of criticism. The name of weakness began to appear since then.
Hill's tragic career was ruined for this. Seven days before the NBA playoffs in the 199-2000 season, Hill sprained his ankle in a game against the Philadelphia 76ers, but he decided to go with an injury to refute rumors. Unfortunately, in the playoffs against the Miami Heat, his ankle injury worsened and was forced to leave the game in the middle of the second game. Since then, he has never returned to his peak.
Thinking of these past events, Chamberlain felt a little sad. Hill is too kind and cares too much about the opinions of fans and teammates. He paid a brilliant career for a fame of a tough guy. I wonder if he regrets it now?
