Whether in the East or the West, the playoffs are in full swing. No team can sweep their opponents to advance this year. The Warriors are already the fastest upgrade team, so they have enough rest time. When their opponent Spurs advance, they have to wait for the second round of the game to begin. This time is expected to be May 5, so they have enough rest time.

In five games, they advanced first and won by a big score in the fifth game, the Warriors players were still physically and mentally exhausted. The most important thing in the playoffs is to rest and maintain enough physical strength. As for tactics and drills, it is nonsense, so Old Nelson gave them two days off before starting training on the third.

Others can rest, but Chamberlain cannot. He has other things to do.

On May 1, on International Labor Day, Chamberlain received the Best Rookie Trophy. This time, a press conference was held. NBA Vice President Stu Jackson personally presented the trophy to him. A press conference was held in the morning, and Chamberlain had other things in the afternoon, that is, participating in the Portsmouth Invitational, which will open soon.

As the name suggests, the Portsmouth Invitational Tournament is a basketball game held in Portsmouth City. This event lasts for four days and is mainly aimed at NCAA seniors. Every year, the organizer invites 64 senior graduates to freely form a team to show their abilities in exchange for the favor of NBA managers and team commissioners.

Recently, the NBA officially announced that the draft training camp held in Chicago from May 20 to May 23 this year will continue to adopt the "joint" method, canceling the previous 5-on-5 game method of rookies, and instead doing some non-confrontational training, interviews, height and weight measurements, medical and sports tests. From this, it seems that the confrontational game method of Portsmouth Invitational is of great practical significance for seniors, because this is the last official official confrontational game they can participate in.

With the end of March Crazy, the NCAA game came to an end, so there are not many opportunities for rookies to improve their draft pick before the draft opens. For those older seniors, the Portsmouth Invitational is their last life-saving straw.

Participating in this event is beneficial to the players, so generally speaking, in addition to seniors, there are also freshmen, sophomore and junior students who do not perform well in the NCAA March but want to participate in the NBA draft. However, they cannot guarantee their appearance when they come here. It is just that some seniors invited by Portsmouth may not come in the end, and they will have the opportunity to fill the gaps at that time.

In recent years, the Portsmouth Invitational has become more and more prosperous. A large number of players who have performed poorly in the NCAA but have performed well in the game have received extra points in the draft. For example, Landry of the Kings, Mark Hill of the Pistons, Hayes of the Rockets and Barria, the substitute point guard of the Mavericks, are all treasures that the NBA team has found from the Portsmouth Invitational.

Don't think that this game is only aimed at some late-stage players. Previous All-Star players Pippen, Stockton, Ben Wallace and others have participated in this event.

The Portsmouth Invitational Tournament is in Portsmouth. The city of Portsmouth is not the big city in the UK, but a small town in Virginia.

Virginia is located along the eastern Atlantic Ocean in the United States and is one of the 13 first states in the United States. It is adjacent to the Atlantic Ocean and Chesapeake Bay in the east, North Carolina and Tennessee in the south, Kentucky in the west, West Virginia and Maryland in the north, and across the Potomac River and facing the capital Washington.

Geographically speaking, Virginia is almost the easternmost state in the United States. The gap between it and California, which ranks in the western United States, can be said to be the easternmost and westernmost of the United States, so this invitational trip is not an easy errand for Chamberlain.

But he still has to go because the team needs to build a team around him and he needs to consider his opinions when choosing players. The Warriors won the fifth place in the Western Conference this season. It can be predicted that they will not have a good pick in the draft. The Green House is impossible, so the Warriors have to choose the general in the slap. There will be occasional remains of beads in the Portsmouth Invitational. What Nelson and Chamberlain have to do is to pick out those pearls.

While waiting at the airport, Old Nelson bought a few newspapers to read, while Chamberlain enjoyed the tall and beautiful flight attendants. As their fit with this body became more and more high, Chamberlain felt that he was going through a stage from adolescence to maturity. Now he is becoming more and more interested in beauties.

Sometimes when thinking about this, Chamberlain was a little scared. His personality changed more and more, and his physical fitness changed more and more. Apart from his appearance, there were too many changes left. Whenever he was alone, he would consider who he was? Is he still the same as before?

Although Virginia has a good economy and tourism industry, there are not many beauties flying from San Francisco. Many of them are aunts in their thirties and forties. Chamberlain was no longer interested after reading it for a while. At this time, Old Nelson gave him a newspaper.

Chamberlain took it and saw it was California Sports News. In an inconspicuous corner, the newspaper reported a news that a sophomore double-seater at Davidson College was going to participate in the NBA draft. The man's name was Stephen Curry.

Although Curry is good on the court now, his reputation is not very good in the stars-studded NCAA. He is not even the number one star in the Davidson Academy basketball team that few people know about. The number one star in the team is third-year scoring guard Richards.

Curry's reputation in the sports circle is more due to his father, Curry, and his handsome appearance. After all, his background is too poor. Davidson Academy has never reached the NCAA Top 16. Who will pay attention to such a school competition?

Moreover, the comments from Duke Blue Devils when Curry went to college made it difficult for him to walk professional basketball: his physical fitness was poor, although he was fast and explosive, but his body was thin, and he was prone to injuries and was not suitable for high-intensity confrontation competitions.

Chamberlain smiled when he saw this news. In fact, he had known that Curry would participate in the draft this year. Although according to the latter's original intention, he wanted to play for another year, because his partner, the team captain Richards, will also participate in the NBA draft this year, and the latter is already a senior. Regardless of whether he will be selected by the NBA team, he can become the core of the team. This will be of great help to his experience and performance. It should be better to participate in the draft next year.

But Old Nelson and Winnie are determined not to allow this situation. They used various means, including mobilizing Old Curry, and finally convinced Curry to participate in the draft, and promised to pick him in the draft, and would also give him the highest salary within the allowable range of the salary rules.

Curry's reputation is indeed not very good now. He has not scored 32 points, 9 rebounds and 4 assists in one go when facing the NCAA strong team Duke Blue Devils, and has not become the scoring leader in the Chronic C League with 21.9 points per game. He has not led Davidson to become a dark horse and successfully entered the crazy March 8th quarter. He has not scored 42 points in one go when facing Oklahoma next year's No. 1 pick Black Griffin to break his single-game scoring record in NCAA. Of course, he has not beaten the University of Wisconsin defensive expert Fraworth with 32 points and led Davidson Academy to easily defeat his opponent 72-56.

Curry is not one of the only four players in the history of college basketball to score 30 points in the first four games of the NCAA knockout match; he has not broken the NCAA single-season three-point shooting record, nor has he blocked the gods and killed the gods on the NCAA back line!

After reading the newspaper, Nelson began to study the list of players participating in the Portsmouth Invitational this time. There were several people with very loud names, including Beast Power Forward Jason Thompson of Reed University, Super Center Roy Hibert of Georgetown University, Defensive Strongman Connit Lee of Western Kentucky University, Indiana University's star forward D.J. White, and New Mexico's scoring champion J.R. Giddens.

Chamberlain didn't understand why these people were going to play Portsmouth University. They would definitely be selected by the NBA team because the sports media is now promoting these people. They are all stars in NCAA, and some of them are even more famous than his teammate West.

Because of the heavy responsibility, Chamberlain got on the plane and carefully studied the player reports provided by the Warriors scouts to select the new players they need for their team.

Although Portsmouth belongs to Virginia, it is located at the junction of the state and New Hampshire and Maine. New Hampshire has no consumption tax, and many products are very low. Portsmouth has benefited from it and the city does not have consumption tax, which has attracted many people from three states to come and shop.

Portsmouth City is very small, and red brick houses and red brick roads have become the main theme of this small town. There are many British buildings, such as Gothic cathedrals or monasteries, with beautiful scenery. Chamberlain was enjoying the scenery when he drove from Washington along the way.

Portsmouth is a seaside city with a deep blue Atlantic Ocean flowing outside the quiet town. Because it is close to Maine, the big lobsters here are cheap and fresh. What's better is that they don't have to pay extra taxes. They are delicious and cheap, and are the first choice for every visitor.

This small town not only has a pleasant climate and a beautiful living environment, but also has bases of the US Navy and the US Air Force. There is a Pis Airport next to the small town. Military aircraft are parked in the airport. Of course, there are also many private jets purchased by local rich people. Unfortunately, there are no civil airports, so Chamberlain and Old Nelson need to transfer.

When he got off the car, Chamberlain received a call, which was called by Little Curry. He and Old Nelson got off the car and saw the handsome young man waving his arms at them. Curry ran over and shouted, "Don't wait for the car, come to me, we are driving here."
