15. Miracle Rookie
The call for ‘MVP’ in Staples Center Staples came to an abrupt end, and Chamberlain’s glaring at the fans was clearly recorded by the cameramen. On the bench of the Warriors, everyone, including Old Nelson, applauded hard, and then suddenly, their applause also came to an abrupt end.
After being hated, Kobe landed. He calmly grabbed the ball that everyone was holding in his hand, took a step back and jumped high, and easily completed the dunk in an undefensive state.
Hearing the sound of dunks, Chamberlain turned around in shock and saw the snow-white jersey fluttering like a battle flag, and the golden No. 24 on it was particularly eye-catching.
I really guessed it at the beginning but not the end. Chamberlain's block is definitely the top ten blocks of the season. It is not only beautiful in posture and strong momentum, but also a rookie in blocking the league's popular superstar, and is destined to be on the headlines. Unfortunately, Kobe's subsequent successful dunk diluted the color of the block. Chamberlain did not expect this guy to be so tenacious!
If you are not tenacious, how could Kobe become the No. 1 superstar in the league from a high school student?!
Chamberlain served, and Old Nelson called a timeout. Kobe walked off the court with a expressionless face, leaving Chamberlain's back with a brilliant look, like an indestructible spear, rather than bend!
"What's wrong? Why are you standing there stupidly? Let's go down quickly, the boss is probably going to be in the rotation lineup." Barnes pulled Chamberlain. After this game, Chamberlain's ability was completely recognized by the Warriors, and he became one of the main players of the Warriors.
Chamberlain was a little depressed and said, "Damn it, I failed, I've scored 30 points!"
Yes, what Chamberlain wanted to see the last thing happened. The reason why he worked so hard to defend Kobe just now was to try to avoid Kobe's bet of 30 or 5,000 yuan, and it was gone.
Barnes rolled his eyes, waved his hand with a grand momentum, and shouted, "Okay, brother, I'll pay it for you..."
Chamberlain was overjoyed and said in a touching manner: "Really? Barnes, you are such a guy..."
"It's really nonsense," Barnes laughed terrified, "I'm just teasing you, novices, I'm going to pay for it, five thousand yuan, I'm willing to accept the loss. If you dare to pay, that's fun!" He originally wanted to use violence to threaten Chamberlain, but when he thought about the combat power shown by the latter, he might have made shit for people if he really played violence, so he didn't say it.
As Barnes guessed, with only five minutes left, the Warriors still maintained a 20+ lead. They were sure to win this game. Old Nelson began to be on the second substitute and went up to train, so O'Brient, Crohill, Hudson, Belinelli and Pilovic came on the court.
The Lakers also replaced all the substitutes. Kobe, Fisher and others were out. Black Mamba covered the towel on his face and lay motionless on the bench. In Jackson's words, 'If the towel was replaced with a sham, everyone would think that the Lakers' bench became a morgue'.
"This guy is so fucking bad." Chamberlain said looking at Jackson indignantly.
Petrus was barely considered an honest man, provided that in the Warriors lineup, he looked at Chamberlain and said: "It is normal to talk trash. Kobe usually doesn't say good things when he talks about us, so we can't blame Jackson."
The Martial Saint's boss looked depressed. It was natural to hit his opponent by himself. How could he be considered bad?
Chamberlain shook his head and said, "You misunderstood. I mean he actually put a condom on me just now. This bastard actually bullied me, a rookie. It's so bad that it's unforgivable! Sores in the soles of the feet and pus flows from the head!" The next sentence he said in Chinese with gritted teeth. His Mandarin is full of strong Shandong flavor, which is his family's characteristic.
Petrus and others immediately smirked. They pushed Jackson and said with a slight smile: "That's right, this bastard actually bullies the rookie, it's unforgivable!"
"Remember his face, Z, he must cover it in the team's game in the future so he dare not shoot..."
"God knows how bad you are, Jackson, you are worse than Satan who should go to hell. I will never trust you in the future...haha!"
Samar sat behind Chamberlain like a ghost. He heard Ellis' metaphor about "Satan", and he curled his lips and whispered: "It's so fucking nonsense, where is Satan broken? It's all caused trouble for public opinion!" He looked at the depressed Chamberlain and said leisurely: "Boy, do you want me to give you a trick? You don't have to pay a penny."
Upon hearing this, Chamberlain was ecstatic and took Samar's hand and shouted excitedly: "North, my dear North, hurry up, what trick? As long as you don't have to pay, no matter what the damn price will be paid, I am willing!"
I'm really scared of poverty.
Samar smiled tolerantly and said, "You don't need to pay any price, and Satan is not as harsh as you think. It's very simple. Your bet with them is that Kobe doesn't have more than 30 points. Kobe has scored exactly 30 points now, so you didn't lose, you won!"
This kind of practice is a bit scoundrel. Generally, according to American thinking, no more than 30 points, then you have to be less than 30 points. However, Chamberlain is good at shamelessness. When Samar reminded him, he was suddenly happy, and the people who were teasing Jackson shut up.
"Don't be so shameless, it's only 5,000 yuan in total?" Barnes said depressedly.
Chamberlain turned around and looked at these people with malicious intentions, and smiled sinisterly: "It's not just five thousand yuan, haha, you have to lose money to me and Jackson, the boss of the Martial Saint, right?"
Jackson was stunned, then patted his thigh and shouted: "Yes, Damn Kobe scored no more than 30 points. Fuck me and get the money! Whoever dares to pay me a debt, I will break his leg!"
With a group of people making noise, the opening match between the Lakers and the Warriors came to an end. When the main players of both sides left the court, the fans began to leave and stay here to watch a doomed game. What's the point?
The final score of the two teams was 114:100. The Warriors won a victory with a double-digit advantage. Old Nelson shook hands with Zen Master Jackson in high spirits. The latter said sourly: "Old Tang, where did you get such a good player? Today we lost in his hands."
Phil Jackson usually looks calm, but in fact he is also a proud person. It is more difficult to make him admit that he lost to Old Nelson than to let him run naked on the court.
Old Nelson didn't care, he said proudly: "Man, you must be kind-hearted. I didn't say that before when you relied on Jordan and O'Neal to beat me, right? Let's say that, you should take a good look in the future, and there are opportunities to lose to my super Z!"
Jackson smiled coldly and shook his head and said, "Not necessarily, Lao Tang, I admit that this rookie is great, but he may not always play under your hands!"
Leaving such an ambiguous sentence, Jackson turned around and returned to his workspace. He immediately pulled his scout over and gritted his teeth and shouted: "Go and check the details of that damn rookie for me. I want to know all the information he has since been born! I also check out his contract for me. As long as I have the chance, I will dig up Los Angeles for me!"
Kobe followed Jackson, and he also grabbed the scout and shouted angrily: "No matter what the price is paid, as long as we can dig the rookie, we can pay! Remember, it's any price!"
This is not an exaggeration. Chamberlain is indeed worthy of the Lakers' treatment of him. Look at the results he achieved in one game today: 12 points, 18 rebounds, 10 blocks, and 2 assists and 2 steals. In addition to the low score, the others are simply a super insider performance. This is his debut, and this is his first game!
Chamberlain followed Davis and his group of people into the locker room. Ulala surrounded him. The reporters carried long spears and short cannons and kept rushing towards Chamberlain. The microphone in his hand was even more desperately raising it to a high place, and like a tongue twister, spraying out the problem of being prepared for a long time:
"Hello, Mr. Chamberlain, I am Jones, a reporter from Fox Sports News. Which league did you play in before?"
"I am Mike Zhang from "FNN Sports Live Room". Congratulations on your perfect debut. What do you want to say about your opponent? What do you think about winning a triple-double in the first game in the NBA?"
"This is "ESPN Massachusetts Channel", Mr. Z, can you give us a chance to interview you separately?"
Chamberlain was the first time he encountered such a thing. He was at a loss for a moment and didn't know how to deal with this situation. At least forty or fifty reporters surrounded him in the center. He wanted to leave but had nowhere to go. In the past, he imagined that he would succeed one day and then the reporters came to interview him, but when this day really came, he found that he could not handle this situation at all.
"Hi, Jackson, Davis, you guys... damn it!" Chamberlain wanted to ask these so-called big brothers for help, but when he looked forward, a group of players rushed into the player's passage with their tails clamped together, and there was no one to turn around.
Looking back? What a joke! You should know that NBA players are different from ordinary stars. They don’t need reporters to help hype because their salary or fans have nothing to do with reporters’ reports. They just need to play well on the court and get good data.
Therefore, NBA players do not desire reporter interviews like movie stars in the entertainment industry. Instead, they hate them. In their opinion, after the game, it means that their work is over, and the rest of the time is their private time. The reporter's interviews are their own jobs, and they do not need to waste their time to cope with other people's work.
In the past, every time the game ended, reporters would chase and intercept them. This time, Chamberlain finally attracted firepower. Can they run too fast?
Chamberlain listened to the reporters' questions, as if a group of flies were flying in his ears, making him unable to react. He could not adapt to this scene and wanted to leave, but he could not leave. The reporters surrounded him too tightly. If he forced himself out, he would inevitably knock down the reporter.
Even if he did not move, a reporter was knocked down. A tall female reporter did not stand firm in the crowded group of reporters. She was squeezed by a strong black man next to her and was directly squeezed to the ground.
Chamberlain subconsciously took a step forward and reached out to help the reporter who was squeezed to the ground.
This female reporter is a yellow man with a beautiful appearance, with picturesque eyebrows and eyes, fragrant nose and cheeks, and tender skin. She seems to be shattered and delicate, with delicate facial features like a legendary female elf.
In addition, not only is she beautiful, but her figure is also great. Under a set of creamy white work clothes with unique tailoring, the woman's perfect figure is outlined, her breasts and buttocks are breathtaking, her waist is not enough to hold, and her body is full of elegant and confident urban beauty.
