Chapter 700: A New Rookie Competition

That night, the prestige of the old men spread all over the United States, and then spread to the world by American students and basketball enthusiasts.

Even with the All-Star opening just around the corner, countless media outlets still gave Chamberlain's veteran army the headlines.

"Mystery Team Dedicated to the Streets, AND1 is Preparing for Battle" - New York News

"Super skills, super abilities, aliens also play basketball? - Sports Weekly

"Someone saw him put a coin on the edge of a rebound, and the theory that the human jumping limit has been broken" - The Philadelphia Sentinel

"Wilder than the Dream Team, Who the Hell Are Them" - Morning News

Streetball Legends Resurrected from Hell? Some people say he's a goat" - NBC Sports, and the report is a photo of West's outstretched dunk.

Although there are a large number of photos and recorded videos on the Internet, they are all shot and recorded with ordinary DV and mobile phones, and the light is very bad at night, and Chamberlain and others are backlit most of the time, plus their makeup is enough to fake and real, and they have hyped up the biggest gimmick in basketball this year.

The forum is now a noisy mess, the topic of all-stars has been kicked away, and it is all this army of mysterious old men.

"Damn, a sixty or seventy-year-old man can still dunk? Can you still relay in the air? Ha, this is a movie. ”

"Don't talk nonsense, it's in the Dukedom! With a thousand fans on the scene, can making a movie fool everyone? Do you think the director is David Copperfield? ”

"Where did this tall woman come from? Wow, her three points are really accurate, the arc of the shot is too beautiful, it is definitely not a woman's posture, and a woman's three points will never be able to do such a posture, because their wrist strength and arm strength have a limit. ”

"Don't say anything about the limit, go and see, people can not only touch the edge of the rebound, but also put the coin on it!"

"Let's all vote, serious discussion, with this old man's arm span bouncing, can he break the limit and become the first person who can really touch the top edge of the NBA rebound?"

As a result, the topic was diverted, and the question of whether anyone could touch the top edge of the NBA rebound was raised again, especially in Chinese fan circles.

On this topic, there were two of the most perverted sayings more than ten years ago, and it is recognized that two people can do it, one is the legendary street ball master Goat, and the other is the NBA king Garnett.

The height of the goat is 188CM, let's count him standing and touching 250CM, which means that he must jump to a height of 150CM to touch the top edge of the rebound, man, can anyone jump up to 1.5 meters? However, more than one person has testified that they have seen goats do it with their own eyes, which is why goats were selected.

As for Garnett, the legend is even more nose and eye, saying that Garnett can jump up more than a dozen times in a row to touch the top edge of the rebound in training camp, and the wolf king stood and touched the top edge of the rebound when he was young 275, so to touch the top edge of the rebound, he must be able to jump 120 cm vertically!

In addition to the rumors of these two entering the rumors, no one else is qualified, looking at the bounce masters in the league, in terms of standing and touching height, Jordan 269, James 273, Green 267, Josh Smith 275, Sharks 295, Howard 283, and slam dunk master James White 273.

According to the height of the upper edge of 395, James has to jump 122 centimeters, Howard has to jump 112 centimeters, James White has to jump 122 centimeters to be able to touch the top edge of the rebound with his fingers, and the above few have to put coins on it, and they have to add 5 centimeters to estimate.

In this way, these people simply can't do it.

It just so happened that Garnett came to Dallas, and a reporter caught him and asked him about the rumors of touching the top edge of the rebound, and when he heard this topic, Garnett laughed, and he said, "Man, I don't lie, I did touch it, and it was a bet at the time, and I won a big dinner." But to be honest, the basketball hoop at that time was the kind of training camp, not an official NBA game, I was Kevin Garnett, not GOD-Garnett, haha. ”

After saying these flowers, Garnett suddenly became interested and said: "If there is anyone on the active team who can challenge this record, I will name two people, Chamberlain and Kevin Durant." ”

Indeed, both of them are seven feet long, both of them have super long arm spans, both of them are bouncing horrors, and looking at the photos, the backs of the old men in them are really similar to these two people.

In fact, it is not difficult to guess the identities of these people in the photos and videos, how many basketball masters are there in the world? Just go to the NBA and look for it. These old men happened to appear during the All-Star period in Dallas, and they are already very problematic, and many fans have guessed that this is the NBA stars pretending.

But there are still many people who don't believe that this is the makeup of the current star, especially those nostalgic old fans, and insist that this is the return of the retired superstar, who is it?

"Look at that little guy who can jump and jump, he's Big O Robertson, I bet he must be Robertson! I didn't expect him to be so old and so powerful, so you can imagine how terrible he was when he was young, the king of the three pairs! It's not like what you admire, Kidd, Paul, West. ”

"You see that guy who plays the piano with the rhythm of the ball, do you know who he is? Earl Monroe, Black Pearl Earl Monroe! The black pearl that God doesn't dare to fight alone! ”

"Blind your dog's eye, that's the black pearl of shit, that's Joe Hormond the Destroyer! The guy who destroyed the Black Pearl has moved from Locke Park to the Dukedom, and he's here to destroy these poor little guys! ”

"Look at that female shooter, uh, who is she? Damn, she's still very young, even if she goes to the NBA, she can play the main team! ”

"Where's the big one? Well, unless it's Welt-Zhang Dashuai crawling out of the grave, there is no such horrible guy again! Forget it, don't discuss it, if it weren't for us seeing the undead, it would be the current NBA stars who came to be funny, and the retired guy, even Jordan, couldn't do this! ”

Jordan was enraged, he immediately took a special plane to Dallas, and then the proud Emperor said to reporters: "I'm going to the Dukedom, yes, I'm going to play with the little ones there, and if the old men are free, then please come and fight with me." ”

This is the pride of the Emperor!

It is precisely by relying on this kind of unyielding momentum that the emperor can change from a defender with no dominance to the number one superstar in history!

Suddenly, the basketball world changed, and Chamberlain, as the initiator, was preparing to participate in the All-Star.

When he ran into Oden during joint practice, Chamberlain greeted him first: "Greg, don't make a face again, you're an All-Star now, or a starter!" It's amazing, as soon as you get into the All-Star, you're a starter. ”

Oden has a modest personality, compared with Chamberlain, he is more like a Chinese, listening to Chamberlain's words, he smiled: "That's thanks to Yao for giving up this precious position, in fact, in my heart, he is a more qualified starting center." ”

Chamberlain shrugged and muttered, "Whatever you want, I don't care about this." ”

Auden asked, "What are you concerned about?" Do you care about the legendary army of old men? Z, to be honest, I've already recognized it, and that center in it is you, right? Ha, a big man with such a sharp ball style, I haven't seen anything but you. ”

"That's not me." Chamberlain said that now that the whole United States is guessing their identities, and it has become a game, he finds it interesting.

The stars are not stupid, they have met so many times in a season, can they not be familiar with each other's style of play? The appearance can be made up, but the style of the ball can't be changed, especially West's mad dog.

Chamberlain was still denying it, and Pierce sneered, 'I bet it wasn't West, because that guy wasn't that powerful', West immediately transformed and roared: "Blind your dog's eyes, that's Uncle West!" ”

"I'm not afraid of god-like opponents, I'm afraid of pig-like teammates." Chamberlain scolded.

Durant nodded in agreement, he thought of the five thousand euros that were gone, and said: "This guy has been a teammate for a hundred years." ”

This year's charity activity is to play with the children, and now the children are not worried, chasing Chamberlain and others and asking: "Are you the one who swept the Dukedom?" Is that you? ”

Chamberlain didn't want to lie to the kid, so he replied vaguely: "Well, when the All-Star Game starts, you will understand, and then the old grandfathers will come out." ”

Someone also asked James, and the little emperor helplessly spread his hands and said to the children: "How can it be me, if I go, their rebounds will be smashed!" ”

As he spoke, James looked at Chamberlain with a meaningful gaze.

If Chamberlain doesn't look at him, you just brag and dunk the rebound, why don't you say you can smash the earth?

After that, the All-Star Carnival and the like went on as usual, and the All-Star came bad news, Kobe, Iverson, Paul and Roy, and the Western Guard line all fell and died!

Paul was the first to announce his retirement from the All-Star Game, and he actually spent the entire month on the bench, and then, in early February, Roy was injured and his right leg tendon was strained, and he still didn't work for half a month, so he had to stop completely before the All-Star break.

Kobe Bryant was injured at the All-Star home on February 7, he sprained the ankle of his right foot, has been out of action for two games, has been watching, after Roy announced his retirement from the All-Star, he also reluctantly said that he could not play this game.

Before the two-game break, Kobe Bryant had played 235 consecutive games for the Lakers, and because he often insisted on playing with injuries, Kobe Bryant was called the iron man by fans. But this time, things may be a little different.

Kobe Bryant said helplessly: "I'm not a fool, I won't hit a wall even though I know it's a wall in front of me." In the case of an injury, if I don't think it will get in the way of the game and it won't make the injury worse, then I will choose to play; But if it's the other way around, or if playing with an injury might worsen the injury, then I won't stick with it. ”

Iverson was the last to announce his retirement from the All-Star, his daughter had a very bad flu and could not appear in public, and the answer hoped that he could be with her well, for which the answer held a press conference in the hope that the fans would forgive him.

But this obviously won't work, because the Western All-Star, the guard group is really unavailable, Yao Ming, Kobe, Roy and Paul's absence has made the league's popularity plummet, if Iverson doesn't play, then what tickets does the league sell?

Stern went to Iverson personally, and there was no answer but to continue playing, but he said that he could arrive in Dallas on the day of the All-Star break, and spend time with his daughter the rest of the time.

As a result, the Western defenders began to send substitutes in the firing line, fortunately, there are countless strong guards in the West, not as hard as in the East, the first time, Delong, Kidd and Nash three guards were sent to the All-Star and took the last bus, of which Nash was still the starter.

Time flies, and on February 12, the All-Star Rookie Challenge begins, and this game is also related to Chamberlain.

The league has been reforming the All-Star Tournament and has been designing various gimmicks to attract the attention of fans, and the format of this year's All-Star Rookie Challenge has changed again.

Previously, the head coach of the rookie game was an assistant coach to the head coach of the All-Star Game, and this year he is the ace player under the head coach of the main game.

The All-Star head coach in the West is Nelson Sr. because the Warriors are number one in the West, that's the rule. Nelson Sr. named Chamberlain to lead the rookies, and he was a sophomore.

The Eastern Conference All-Star head coach is Stan Van Gundy, the Magic team has played very steadily this season, although there was a period of poor results in the early days of the season, but in 2010, Howard and Carter have become more and more tacit, and this team has finally shown their strong strength.

And Van Gundy's designated head coach is Howard.

Chamberlain VS Howard, now it's time to watch again.
