Chapter 82: Trainer with the ball
Nate Thurmond, two meters tall, weighing 240 pounds, the most ferocious center in NBA history, no one, 'Vulcan' Alonzo Mourning's most admired interior player, played in the NBA for 14 years, will be the world's heroes, averaging 15 points and 15 rebounds per game, his ball skills are all-round, outrageous, reflected in the data, that is, he became the first record quadruple-double maker in NBA history.
In 1963, Thurmond was won by the Warriors with the third pick, and the Warriors head coach at that time had been replaced, but the team owner was still Eddie Gottlieb, and it was because of his existence that a generation of Tianjiao Welt-Chamberlain was traded by the Warriors - this was an active transaction, Zhang Dashuai thought that the Warriors did not have a championship bloodline, and resolutely returned to Philadelphia, where he became famous, but at that time, the Philadelphia NBA team was no longer the Warriors, but the 76ers.
Before the '80s, Thurmond was even more famous in San Francisco than the famous Golden Gate Bridge, and after retiring from football, he retired his jersey from the two teams he played for in his career, the Warriors and the Cavaliers.
The only regret is that the super inside player has not won a championship in his career. Now fans only know the regrets of Malone and Stockton, but before the two, there is another more courageous tough guy who has a more tragic career.
After retiring from the army, Thurmond, whose hometown was in Cleveland, did not settle in that beautiful town, but returned to Oakland, where he opened the veteran's restaurant and became a basketball community worker for the Warriors.
By the way, the main reason why Thurmond failed to play for the Warriors all his life was that Gottlieb sold the team, and the new Warriors owner wanted to brand the team with his own brand, so he sent the core of the team and the locker room boss Thurmond away. Gottlieb did everything he could to help Thurmond and send him to his hometown of the Cleveland Cavaliers, which is why Thurmond was willing to return to San Francisco after retiring.
The Warriors are in Oakland and Eddie Gottlieb is in San Francisco.
"What do you want to do? Everybody knows that my bacon is very good. Thurmond wiped his hands with a towel and smiled heartily, the weather was approaching December, and the snow was about to fall on the West Coast, but he was only wearing a t-shirt, still sleeveless, and his strong muscles held the t-shirt high, as if it would be broken at any moment.
Winnie said simply: "I don't eat, you can be a defensive trainer for Xiao Zhang, teach him how to maintain his physical strength as much as possible when grabbing rebounds." β
This is also one of the problems that Chamberlain is currently encountering, he is too hard, although he is far ahead of the rest of the league in rebounds now, but it is a result that he has achieved with all his might, and so far the league has only finished one-eighth of the eighty-two games, and the more Chamberlain will be physically exhausted in the future, then he will encounter the so-called 'rookie wall'.
The smile on Thurmond's face froze suddenly, he clutched the towel tightly in both hands, quickly gathered it into a rotten rag, and then took a deep breath and said, "You know, little female bear, I will not go to the Warriors again, any position. β
Only then did Chamberlain know that the reason why Winnie brought herself here was to find a teacher for herself, and to know that the best trainers in the NBA are these talented superstars, only they know themselves best, and only then do they know how to create a player similar to themselves. However, most of the stars have a lot of savings and live a carefree life, so why should they become trainers when they are idle? Be a fool for one's pains!
Winnie's stubborn ponytail shook vigorously and said angrily, "What is this? You're already with the Warriors, and you're the team's basketball community worker. β
Thurmond had a temper on the pitch, and even Wilt Chamberlain was stunned when he saw him, and Barkley was lucky not to be in the same era as him, otherwise he and the big worm Rodman would definitely be packed into dough. Off the pitch, though, he's good-tempered.
With a hearty smile, Thurmond touched Winnie's head and said, "You know the reason, it's because the president of the Warriors' Community Basketball Association is the boss!" β
Eddie Gottlieb will always be the boss of the Warriors.
Winnie shook her head and shook off Thurmond's big hand, and Chamberlain noticed that her little hand was clenched into a fist, as if she was going to beat Thurmond violently, which made him a little scared, why is this chick so violent? He was thinking about whether he should help or help or help if he did fight.
But Winnie was not as impulsive as he imagined, she took Thurmond's thick arm and said, "What is your fast food restaurant called the Veteran's Restaurant?" Isn't it because of MacArthur's phrase that 'veterans never die, only slowly wither'? Didn't you think about getting back on the pitch to fight your opponent in the middle of the night? Nate, it's impossible for you to set foot on the pitch anymore, but you can shape a second you β or someone who can surpass you β to do it all! β
Thurmond's thick lips squirmed twice, and he wanted to say something, but Winnie didn't give him a chance, and continued to say excitedly: "Also, look at what the current alliance has become?" BULL-SHITοΌ A bunch of eggy castrated turkeys on the inside line! What will happen in the league where the center will wither? Isn't it because you old men don't do anything? You just remember your past glory, but you never think about how to replicate this glory! β
Thurmond sat down in a chair and looked at Chamberlain, who smiled and looked at him fearlessly, with a calm look in his gaze.
"Let me think about it." Thurmond sighed, "I'm going to study this kid, if he's not a manufacturable material, then I'll never train him, and it's useless for the boss to persuade me!" I don't want to let me lose that little bit of prestige because of this kid. β
Hearing this, Winnie immediately took Chamberlain away, and Thurmond shouted in the back, "Stay for a mealβhey, Winnie, can't you stay and talk to me for a while?" β
In addition to business, at other times, Winnie cherished words like gold, and it was not until she got into the car that she let out a turbid breath and sighed: "Okay, I have got one, and there is another." β
Chamberlain didn't understand what Winnie's later sentence meant, another? Does Winnie want to hire another teacher for him? What is he training for, which super king is it?
Thinking like this, Chamberlain's heart became more and more itchy, and he asked Winnie, but the latter didn't say a word, but every time he asked, Winnie increased the speed of the car by ten kilometers per hour, until Chamberlain was silent and did not dare to speak again.
Nelson Sr. was right, Winnie is indeed a better trainer than Eaton LaVine, because the two have different resources, Winnie can use Gottlieb to invite any superstar in the league and even Jordan to coach Chamberlain, but LaVine can't do that.
Winnie didn't take Chamberlain to anyone, but returned to the training gym in a step-by-step manner to continue her devil training.
What Chamberlain has been doing now is training in toughness and flexibility, and Winnie is so that he can have a powerful and lethal offensive technique in the shortest possible time - reverse cutting, falling back to the basket and catching the ball and dunking.
At five o'clock in the afternoon, Chamberlain went to wash, and in the evening he would invite Winnie and Li Qun to dinner.
"Improve your emotional intelligence." After hearing his invitation, Winnie said expressionlessly, "If I were Li Qun, I would definitely like to have my first meal after a long absence, and stay alone with my lover, instead of bringing a light bulb." β
Chamberlain also wanted to do this, mainly because Winnie's light bulb was too bright to show every flaw in most women in the world.
But can he do that? One of the purposes of this dinner was to thank Winnie for helping him move, and Winnie had suffered a lot to help him train these days, but she never complained, and this morning Winnie also helped him find a trainer like Nate Thurmond.
Although I don't know why Winnie has always paid so much for him, there is one thing that Chamberlain is very clear, that is, he owes Winnie a lot.
One thing is more refreshing is that when Chamberlain took Li Qun and Winnie into the cliff house, he became a well-deserved male focus, the reason is naturally that the two beautiful women he carried were either elegant or sexy and hot, no matter where they were placed, Li Qun and Winnie were the killers of men's eyes.
Cliff House is one of the few high-end restaurants in San Francisco, and there are many sports stars who can come here to eat, and it is impossible to cause a sensation in this kind of place, except for children who will run to him to ask for an autograph, and everyone else is at most politely nodding to say hello.
The combination of a man and two women at the dinner party is really embarrassing, especially Li Qun and Winnie don't speak, one of them orders a cup of yogurt and is silently playing with their mobile phones, and no one cares about Chamberlain. Chamberlain took a sip of his drink and racked his brains to find a topic to open the gap between the three of them.
As a result, Chamberlain didn't play with his mobile phone, but his mobile phone suddenly screamed, the voice was extremely poignant, and the quiet atmosphere of the cliff house was broken, and everyone was looking at him in shock.
High-end restaurants like Cliff House are used by high-end people in the United States to gather and taste life, and the atmosphere is quiet, unless it is a holiday to celebrate something, except for the laughter of children, the voices of adults are very low, which is a real whisper. Most people put their phones on silent or vibrate before eating, just like in a meeting.
Chamberlain's copycat machine, the sound is no less loud than a car horn - he turned it to the highest pitch, no way, whether it is on the court or the training ground, the noise is very loud, and the mobile phone ringtone is too small to be heard.
Judging from the caller ID, it was an unfamiliar number, if it was HIGN chatting with Li Qun and Winnie, Chamberlain would definitely hang up directly, and now make a fart call? The problem was that the atmosphere was awkward, and almost everyone was looking at him, and Chamberlain had to find a way to break it, and there was no doubt that the phone call was a good choice.
So Chamberlain took the phone, and he had already planned, even if the person on the other end of the phone just said an insignificant, he must show a heavy shock, this is to tell those dissatisfied guests who are not looking at him that Lao Tzu has something important to do now, and he can't turn down the ringing of the phone, otherwise what if he misses the call and goes out of the basket?
As a result, the phone was connected, and he didn't need to pretend, and the news that came also shocked him: "Mr. Z, save me, please save me, my father sold me to a prostitute, he was outside the door, save me ......!" β
Thanks to the powerful handset amplifier function of the copycat, Li Qun and Winnie both heard the voice in the microphone.
