Chapter 22: Ball Forward

The starters chatted with the three commentators for a while, and the Spurs starters were already on the pitch.

The Spurs are now in the limelight in the league for a while, they won the championship again last season, and they swept the opponent Cleveland Cavaliers 4-0 in the Finals, and returned home with an absolute advantage, winning the championship three times in five years, although they have not concluded a dynasty, but have become the first team in the league.

This season's Spurs are definitely ambitious, they want to break the team's fate of only winning championships in odd-numbered years, and this season is aiming for a championship, no matter what, to get a double in a row. But they definitely have the confidence, and with Duncan's arrival at the top, Parker and Ginobili maturing, and the team's tactics becoming more and more perfect, if they win the championship again this season, the fans will not mind.

But old Nelson will definitely mind, watching his disciple Popovich win four championships and he is empty-handed, to say that the old man has no pimples in his heart, it must be nonsense.

Therefore, when Chamberlain and the others were about to play, the old man walked up quickly and said viciously: "If you lose this game, promise God that I will make you worse than dead in November!" ”

The Spurs' lineup is little changed from last season, with Fabreth Oberto at center, Tim Duncan at power forward, Bowen at small forward, Michael Finley at shooting guard, and Tony Parker at playmaking guard.

On the Warriors' side, the center is Biedrins, the power forward is Chamberlain, the small forward is Azubuke, the scoring guard is Ellis, and the playmaking guard is Davis.

The players from both sides took up the midfield, and Chamberlain moved his wrist to Duncan.

Coincidentally, both teams have power forwards to jump the ball, which is strange, but it's normal in the NBA. In the basketball game, it is not necessarily the center of the two teams who jumps the ball, but generally let the person with the fastest bounce speed, the best bounce, and the tallest jump ball, Oberto is two meters and eight meters tall, weighs 111 kilograms, and is a strong interior blue-collar worker, Duncan is more suitable for jumping ball.

Biedrins is a jumping man, but he can't jump Chamberlain, let alone him, even Duncan didn't jump Chamberlain, the referee threw the ball into the air, Chamberlain rocketed into the sky, and slapped the ball to Davis.

The referee blew the whistle for the start of the game, and the three commentators on the scene began to explain the game, Barnett took the lead in speaking, and after introducing the starting lineups of both sides, he said: "Our new guy Super Z grabbed the ball, this is a young man with excellent bounce, height, and arm span, and when we see him, we can't help but think of China's Dongfeng ICBM, except for that terrible thing, I don't think there is anything else in the world of the yellow race that can compare with him......"

Davis bent over and rushed across the halfcourt, Parker looked at him vigilantly from a distance of about half a pace, Bowen glanced at the two of them and shouted: "Parker, don't be so close to him, this guy won't shoot far, just guard against his breakthrough!" ”

This was so hurtful that Daviston was furious, and his anger value was infinitely close to MAX. But Parker really took another half step back, a big step away from him, Davis was hot at the moment, put away the ball and waved a three-point shot.

Seeing this scene, the old Nelson immediately rolled his eyes, this is the reason why Davis has not been among the first-class point guards although he has the top body of the organization guard, he is too easy to get hot, the point guard needs to keep a cool head at all times, look at the super point guards in history, whether it is Magic Johnson, the smiling assassin Thomas or Stockton, they are all famous cold-blooded killers, these three people are not as physical as Davis, but the lethality is ten streets away from him.

"Bang Dong" is crisp, basketball is undoubtedly iron, and Davis's long-range shooting is really unreliable.

Oberto is a good blue-collar worker, strong and strong, and was specially sent by Popovich to guard Chamberlain, and as soon as Davis's ball fell to the hoop, he immediately stuck Chamberlain.

A huge force hit Oberto's back from behind, as if a huge wave was crashing on him, Oberto staggered and was knocked out, Chamberlain roared into the sky, his right hand stuck with Duncan, who was jumping up next to him, and his left hand pulled the ball down at once.

The fans in the audience cheered loudly, the three commentators gasped, and Barry said movingly: "Fuck it, this little rabbit cub is so strong and bounced, damn, his damn rebounding is too domineering, no wonder someone calls him Chamberlain II!" ”

Barry is the one who has played with Wilt Chamberlain, and he still has lingering fears about the latter's horrors, especially his ability to control rebounds.

Chamberlain grabbed the rebound, grabbed the ball with one hand and was about to jump with his legs, and Oberto, who came back, subconsciously jumped up to block, but Chamberlain just shook a shot, pulled down the ball and threw it to Ellis, who was ambushed on the bottom line.

Ellis's three-point shooting was much more reliable than Davis's, and Finley had been distracted by the inside scramble and didn't watch Ellis for a while, who jumped up and slashed out the three-pointer.

The fans cheered eagerly in the Oracle Arena, and the big screen began to replay the scene of Ellis shooting three points from a distance, but the layman watched the excitement and the insider watched the doorway, and saw Chamberlain's response just now, the old Nelson's eyes suddenly lit up, and he muttered softly: "Control forward, control power forward!" ”

was taken an offensive rebound by Chamberlain in front of him, Duncan, a person with an indifferent temperament, was also a little depressed, and when he entered the restricted area, he took the initiative to reach out to pass the ball, and Chamberlain immediately stuck it, and shouted loudly: "Come on, San Antonio bitches, come and fight grandpa, grandpa invites you to eat a big hot pot, a delicious big hot pot!" ”

Duncan didn't say a word, he grabbed the ball with both hands and turned to face Chamberlain, his upper body shook quickly twice, and he raised his hand to make a mid-range shot on the wing.

Wing mid-range shooting is Duncan's forte, and in this position, although he can't say that he can't hit 100 shots, it's still okay to make 7 or 8 shots out of 10.

Chamberlain didn't jump up, he subconsciously judged that this was a feint, so he suddenly stepped back half a step but raised his right hand to cover Duncan's head.

Parker slipped the baseline and rushed into the penalty area, Duncan was indeed a feint, he saw that Chamberlain was not fooled, and his body bent and rushed inside with the ball.

Chamberlain stuck to it at once, and the two seven-foot-long men collided with a 'boom'.

Duncan's strength is also extremely good in the league, except for O'Neal and Ben Wallace, the two perverts, everyone else is behind him, but from today onwards, there is more Chamberlain in front of him. Duncan didn't knock Chamberlain away with such a full force, but only knocked him back half a step!

What a terrifying force this was, Popovich's face darkened.

However, Duncan didn't plan to attack, he took advantage of the reaction force of the collision between the two, quickly turned around Chamberlain with the ball, and suddenly went around behind Chamberlain, and then he was not greedy, but handed the ball to Parker, who had just entered the penalty area, and at the same time used his body to jam Davis, who was chasing Parker behind.

Parker got the ball and immediately jumped up and threw it into the hoop with precision.

Chamberlain served quickly, but instead of handing it to Davis, he threw it to Ellis, who ran directly across the halfcourt, and shouted: "Little cutie, give the Spurs a dismount!" ”

Ellis seemed to press the accelerator button after receiving the ball, and rushed forward with his head in a hurry, Finley was old after all, he couldn't keep up with a sports car-level guard like Ellis, Parker could catch up, but the two were too far apart at the beginning.

With a few big strides into the interior, Ellis jumped up and threw the ball to the hoop, and his body fell uncontrollably to the floor. There is no way, Parker has already caught up from behind, if he adjusts the balance of his body, then Parker will be caught up, so there is no point in breaking fast.

The Warriors' offense took just four seconds to end, and the fans were touched by the sports G-spot, and the young Warriors fans screamed and jumped and jumped, and the scene was in a frenzy.

Old Nelson shook his fist vigorously, he pointed at Chamberlain, who had just run halfway, and suddenly gave a thumbs up with both hands, nodded heavily and shouted: "Well done, Z!" ”

The Warriors' offense this time is really beautiful, not surprisingly it is the first of the top ten balls in today's game, no one expected Chamberlain's theoretical attack to be such a wonderful attack, and it was two in a row!

It's not surprising that Chamberlain's ball quotient is definitely high enough, otherwise he wouldn't have become a new star in basketball in San Francisco in his primary and secondary school years. In the last game, he just played in the NBA, and he still has a lot of scruples, so he will inevitably be constrained in his play, but as the saying goes, he is born twice and matured, and today he let go.

Parker dribbled the ball past half-court and Finley came up to pick it up, who got the ball to face Ellis's defense, simply used two body forward changes to get past him, and quickly rushed inside.

Chamberlain was stuck with Duncan, he didn't dare to let go of the stone Buddha behind him to make up for Finley, but if he didn't do anything, then Finley would definitely go to the basket to score.

Finley was waiting for this moment, and as soon as Chamberlain left Duncan, he immediately threw the ball over. Duncan got the ball, Chamberlain was suddenly very proud, he guessed that it would be like this, just now he didn't really let go of Duncan completely, after Finley passed the ball, he immediately turned back to defend Duncan.

But what about the ball?

Chamberlain was stunned to find that Duncan had no ball in his hand at all, at this time he heard Ellis's scream, and immediately looked back, only to see that Finley, who was attacking the inside just now, exited the three-point line again, and Duncan immediately passed it back to him after getting the ball.

With a long shot, Finley slashed a solid three-pointer.

Chamberlain was helpless for a while, if he wasn't just a newcomer, then he would have looked up to the sky and sighed: not afraid of god-like opponents, afraid of pig-like teammates!

At 5:5, the opening minute, the two sides were tied, and a high-tempo game was played.
