In the Oracle Training Gym, Nelson Sr. was holding a laptop and watching an image of the Celtics vs. Mavericks game, facing the menacing Texas Riders, the Green Shirts won a beautiful 102-80.

On the training ground, after warm-up training, assistant coach Nelson Jr. blew the whistle to signal the players to play intra-team matches.

Jackson and Ellis casually talked and laughed: "Man, the Bostonians are fighting a defensive battle, you'd better not drop the chain tomorrow, this is the first battle in the league, fuck, since I came to Oakland, this is the first time I've won the league's first record." ”

Ellis spread his hands and said innocently, "You know, Stephen, I'm going to use my sharp attack on the four-year-old Boston's defense......"

As soon as he heard this, Jackson became anxious and shouted, "I'm going to let you defend well, who the cares about offense?" ”

Ellis smiled, glanced at Chamberlain, and said, "Z will help me defend well, hehe, as for me, you'd better not have too much confidence in me...... Hi Z, what's wrong with you? ”

Jackson and the others turned their heads to look and saw that Chamberlain's brows were furrowed, his face was pale, and his face was no longer the usual hanging, but instead gray, looking very listless.

"How many women did you last night? Ten or twenty? Jackson was taken aback, for it was the first time he had seen Chamberlain look like this, who had always been the most energetic of them all.

Chamberlain grinned reluctantly, but didn't fight back, just slapped the ball in his hand listlessly, and the muscles in his arm were loose, not at all like the super rookie king who averaged 20+ rebounds per game in the past five games.

Nelson Jr. picked a ball and motioned for Chamberlain and Biedlings to jump up, and since the former arrived, the latter has gone from starting to coming off the bench.

Although he didn't complain about it, it can be seen that Bidrins actually still minds, after all, for him who entered the NBA in 04, this year is his contract year, if he can't get into the starting lineup and play a good stat, then he won't get a big contract after becoming a free agent next year.

What bothered Biedlings the most was that since Chamberlain came to the Warriors, his role has been greatly diminished, and the Warriors' uniform has become so close to him.

On the court, Chamberlain and Biederings are in a fierce positional conflict, and Biederin is an excellent defensive specialist, relying on his hard-working style and excellent bounce power to gradually become the backbone of the Warriors' defense. Compared with the orthodox European inside, Biedlins is an alternative, he is not good at scoring, as a center he likes to break through the frame, and there are no bright spots in the scoring means except for secondary offenses and brilliant slam dunks, his shooting is quite rough, especially the free throws are very bad.

From this point of view, Chamberlain is a strengthened version of Bidlings, and Chamberlain is still younger and has more potential to tap.

After Chamberlain signed that weird contract with the Warriors a few days ago, Biedrins was a little depressed, what did the team sign Chamberlain, who was in the opposite position to him, for, how could he not understand? He could imagine that it might not be long before he was sent away.

This mindset affected Biedlins' social interactions with the Warriors, making him more withdrawn and aloof, because he was not an American, but a sworn enemy of the United States, the Soviets, so he became more marginalized with the Warriors, packing up his car and spending less and less time with his teammates when he had time.

Oxlade-Chamberlain and Biedrins stepped up to the halfway line, and Nelson Jr. didn't notice his poor form and threw the ball into the air, and the team training match began.

The jump ball is Chamberlain's forte, and his bounce, his avoidance, and his speed make him the undisputed king of the NBA at this point. But today, when he was about to jump, he suddenly felt as heavy as lead in his legs, and he didn't jump, and the ball was directly dialed by Biedrins to Troy Hudson.

Hudson and Biedrins are in a similar mood, he also has no sense of belonging to the Warriors, he plays the point guard position, is Davis's backup, originally thought that Davis was injured, he would have a chance to be on the position, but the old Nelson would rather use the rookie Azubuuk, who is not in a unified position, than give him a chance.

Compared to Hudson, Azubuke is indeed a rookie, the former entered the league in '97, but except for a thrilling performance in the Timberwolves contract year, he was the mascot on the bench the rest of the time, especially with a few ankle surgeries, he is now getting worse and worse.

But Hudson didn't feel that way, his salary was the same as Chamberlain's this season, it was eight million, but he didn't even play eight minutes per game, which made him extremely dissatisfied, and he complained that the old Nelson didn't trust him, but he didn't think about how the old Nelson could trust him with his unreliable offense and defense?

Eager to perform, Hudson was very unique in the team's training matches, and of course this was no problem for himself, because he himself was born in the wild and was used to playing alone without passing. He never figured out, and that's what Nelson Sr. didn't like the most, that old man needed players on his hands to score, but he didn't need a playmaker who could only score and not pass.

Once the fight began, Hudson broke the old rules again, he instructed Belinelli to come up and cover him to get rid of Azubuuk, and then singled Ellis. Ellis's defense, no matter who he faces, is always so unreliable, and this time, too, it was successfully broken through by Hudson.

However, Ellis's defense was not without strength, he tried to delay back, although Hudson broke through him, but into the penalty area, if he dared to shoot, he would definitely be Chamberlain's hat even north could not be found.

In the past intra-team training matches, Hudson suffered a lot at the hands of Chamberlain, but this guy was stubborn, remembered to eat or not, and in the face of Chamberlain, he jumped up again and threw his shot.

Jackson had always been at odds with Hudson, sneering and wanting to see his jokes, but instead of jumping up and giving him a big hat as usual, Chamberlain watched the ball fall from in front of him and into the hoop.

"Hi Z, what's wrong with you?" Even Barnes, who claims to have a nerve thicker than J8, sees the problem.

Chamberlain smiled reluctantly, shrugged his shoulders with pretended ease, and said, "It's nothing." ”

He ran down, but slowly, no longer in the whirlwind manner, like an old camel.

Hudson's breakthrough against himself upset Azubuuk, who used his strong body to back the opponent to attract the attention of Biedrins, who immediately threw the ball to Oxlade-Chamberlain. That's where he's smart, he knows what Nelson Sr. wants, so whenever he gets the chance, he passes the ball first, rather than attacking the hoop himself.

The ball passed in a hurry, and Chamberlain almost missed the ball, and after he got the ball, he hurriedly stepped back and aimed for a dunk in the hoop. Biedrins subconsciously turned around, strode to his side and slammed into him, raising one hand to hinder his jump.

This move should be self-inflicted humiliation for Chamberlain, who in many similar confrontations, Chamberlain first crashed into the opponent and then dunked violently, or rode the opponent and directly buckled up.

Unexpectedly, Biderlins slammed forward, Chamberlain was knocked over all of a sudden, this scene completely stunned everyone in the stadium, even Biedrins did not expect such a scene to happen, he looked at Chamberlain in a daze, everyone was stunned, and the old Nelson, who had been paying attention to the game video on the computer, was shocked.

Chamberlain got up from the ground in embarrassment, and Jackson suddenly rushed up and asked excitedly, "Hey, I said brother, damn what's wrong with you?" Damn, it's not you, what the hell are you going on today? ”

Petrus grabbed Jackson, and he comforted Chamberlain: "Z, I think you may be taking tomorrow's game too seriously, in fact, there is nothing to be afraid of Bostonians, don't look at the media propaganda, it's all a bunch of bitches who are pretending to moan!" ”

Everyone associated Chamberlain's anomaly with the upcoming battle for the league's No. 1 team, and Ellis came up and persuaded: "Yes man, it's nothing, we're obviously stronger than them, so there's no need to worry about anything at all, as long as we play like before, we're going to win!" ”

Harrington also said: "Garnett and I used to fight a lot, he is not your opponent, except for you entered the league earlier, except for the free throw is better than you, that guy is not as good as you in other aspects, including trash talk!" ”

Chamberlain smiled reluctantly, these bullshit things were not what made him the way he is at all, he scanned the field, but he didn't see Samael, which made him feel a lot of confidence: Is he really slowly changing back to the perverted body he used to be? Do you really want to become unable to run or jump again?

Thinking like this, Chamberlain became more and more frightened, he had adapted to and fell in love with the current explosive body, if he was allowed to go back to before, it would be better to let him die directly!

Nelson Jr. also came up to comfort Chamberlain, after all, the latter is a rookie and has a lot to learn. Everyone comforted for a while, and the game continued, but Chamberlain's performance did not improve at all, but got worse and worse, and Biedrins was the opposite, playing more and more smoothly, and repeatedly staged a good dunk in front of Chamberlain.

Oxlade-Chamberlain's toughest defense became subpar and even worse offensively, and apart from turnovers, he didn't get a single statistic on the court, much to the disbelief of everyone in the gym.

In the end, old Nelson found out what the problem was, he called Chamberlain down, comforted him for a while, and then waved his hand and said: "Z, you don't need to train today, go find a favorite place to play, relax, wake up, tomorrow will still be so wonderful!" ”

Chamberlain smiled bitterly, he really didn't need to continue training here, and continuing to do so would only expose him to more and more problems.

Leaving the training hall, Chamberlain was at a loss for a moment, where should he go? Who to go to? Samael? That guy didn't know where he had gone in the last day or two, and he couldn't get through on the phone. Looking for Li Qun? Chamberlain didn't want her to see the dejected way he looked.

At the last moment, all Chamberlain could think of was Sudmons, his only brother.

But after taking a taxi back to the neighborhood in the Ballet District of Soul, Sudmons was not at home, and Chamberlain felt that all this seemed to be providence, and he staggered down the street, only to be recognized as the NBA superstar who had recently become famous, and was surrounded by people asking for autographs and group photos.

Chamberlain smiled bitterly, if Samael no longer appears, I am afraid that he will become the biggest parallel commodity in the basketball world, and the contract signed by the Warriors with him will become the biggest laughing stock in the league.
