With Jackson's Dodge Ram, Chamberlain's life was much easier, and now that the races were intensive, he didn't have time to learn his driver's license, but he had Sudmons living with him, who had little to do except participate in anti-war activities, and drove him to and from work.

In addition, Sudmons has a mission to pick up Shirley to school and home.

Shirley had dropped out of school before, and she usually ran the business of the family's fast food restaurant, occasionally practicing ballet, and her life was boring. Winnie reconnected her with a school that had more caring teachers and a better relationship with her classmates. In addition, the school is the alma mater of Chamberlain and Sudmons, St. Lawrence High School in San Francisco, and is a short distance across the Golden Gate Bridge.

The girl is perfect in everything, but she has a birthmark on her cheek, because of her excellence, this kind of girl is more likely to be resisted by her peers, and those people will joke about her shortcomings.

Shirley is fourteen years old, and in the United States, she has reached the age of middle school, there is no junior high school in the United States, and students go to school from first grade to ninth grade, and then go directly to high school.

Entering high school requires exams, and Chamberlain and Winnie were worried about Shirley's studies, but the girl got a near-perfect score in the entrance test, which made the two feel at ease.

After the win over the Pistons, the Warriors had two days off to compensate the league for their back-to-back games. Chamberlain was still in the old habit of choosing to practice on his days off, and Thurmond appreciated his diligence very much, as long as Chamberlain trained, he would definitely be there to give advice.

Because it was a day off, Chamberlain had plenty of training time, so he and Sudmons sent Shirley to school first. Shirley didn't let the two of them drop him off at the school gate, she found the bus stop sign through the school on her first day of school, and got off the bus at the stop sign.

"Brother Z, Brother Doug, see you again." Shirley smiled and waved, her beautiful blonde hair shining in the morning sun, as if a golden waterfall was pouring down from the mountains.

After sending Shirley to the car, Chamberlain and Sudmons went directly to the training hall, and as soon as he pushed the door open, he heard someone slapping the ball inside, laughing, he looked inside, it was Thurmond and a slender middle-aged black man entangled under the basket, and Winnie sat quietly on the side, not knowing what Lu Dao was thinking.

The quiet Winnie has an amazing charm, she is like a forest banshee carefully carved by the master carvers of the Renaissance era, with a beautiful temperament and three-dimensional facial features, if there are elves surrounding her, then it can directly turn the training hall into a fairy tale.

After Chamberlain came in, Thurmond and the middle-aged man stopped fighting and looked over, and the latter raised his hand in a friendly way and greeted: "Hey, Z, you've been doing a great job lately, and I bet you'll be a nightmare for the other twenty-nine teams in the league in the future." ”

The middle-aged man who spoke had a pale chocolate skin, should have a little white blood, his appearance was very delicate, and he looked gentle, especially standing next to the terrorist in Thurmond at this time, he looked even more handsome and handsome, to give an analogy to these two people, that is, the elf stood next to the orc.

Chamberlain is very familiar with this middle-aged man, and he should also be an NBA player, but he forgot what the specific name of this person is, but he remembers that when he watched the NBA with him when he was a child, he often saw him, and it seemed that his surname was Curry.

The middle-aged man's praise of Chamberlain made him a little embarrassed, not embarrassed to bear such praise, in essence, this is well deserved, what makes him embarrassed is that people praise him so much, he doesn't know who the Taoist family is.

Fortunately, Winnie quickly introduced him, stood up and said lightly: "This is Dave Curry, your other teacher, in the future, he will specialize in training your mid-range and mid-range shots, especially correcting your shooting posture in the mid-range position." ”

As soon as Winnie said this, Chamberlain suddenly remembered who this middle-aged man was, he bumped his fist with the middle-aged man in the way of greeting NBA players, then hugged and patted him on the back, and said with a smile: "Hello, Mr. Curry, my father is your fan, he has always praised your marksmanship, and thinks that you are the best marksman in the NBA in the eighties and nineties of the last century, just like Reggie Miller." ”

This is nonsense, Chamberlain's father is a fan of the Warriors, and the stars of other teams, even the Flyers, have never conquered him. But good words are not necessarily the truth, everyone praises him, he has to respond twice, right?

Chamberlain did recall some information about Dave Curry, who was active in the NBA in the eighties and nineties, and said he was a sharpshooter and that his career was known for his accurate shooting, playing for the Charlotte Hornets, Timberwolves and Toronto Raptors.

Curry's golden career was spent with the Charlotte Hornets, who entered the NBA in 1987 with the Timberwolves, Magic, and Heat, taking advantage of the NBA's expansion. Curry was named Sixth Man of the Year in the 1993-94 season with the Hornets, a team that also included the likes of Larry Johnson and Alonzo Mourning, who were the backbone of the Hornets' interior line, and Dave Curry as the outside core.

After Chamberlain praised Curry, the atmosphere became harmonious, originally when he received Winnie's invitation to be Chamberlain's shooting coach, Curry was still a little hesitant, he used to concentrate on training his son to play basketball, but as his son matured and there was nothing to do, being an NBA player trainer was a good choice.

Before Curry was worried about Chamberlain's temper, the temper of big-name stars is generally not very good, except for Duncan, Nowitzki and other gentle gentlemen, and the temper of young and famous stars is naturally even worse. Because of his previous elbow to Bowen and many hot penalty area scenes with his opponents, Chamberlain left the impression of being arrogant and ferocious to those who are not familiar with him.

Because the mid-range shooting is so poor, Curry and Chamberlain began to train him in the basics after a brief understanding, mainly to help him correct his shooting posture and move his wrists, and shooting practice is not something that can be completed overnight.

Around noon, Nelson Sr. arrived, apparently aware of Curry's arrival, and Winnie had told him about it on the phone. While Curry was away, Nelson Sr. called Chamberlain and Winnie, frowned and asked, "Kids, tell me what's going on, why did you choose Curry to be Z's shooting trainer?" Isn't Kenny good enough? ”

Kenny is naturally Kenny Smith, the hardcore partner of Barkley in TNT.

Chamberlain shrugged and spread his hands to show that he didn't know anything about it, and Winnie said slowly: "There are two reasons, one is that Coach Kenny is resigning and he is ready to concentrate on developing his career at TNT; The second is because Mr. Curry is a good shooter, and most importantly, he is a good bridge to help us pick a very good guard. ”

Chamberlain was puzzled by Winnie's answer, what does it mean, is Dave Curry a friend of a super guard? There is no shortage of examples in the NBA of signing stars through such means, first reaching out to a star's friend, and then connecting with the star through that person, which was used by the Lakers from the Magic to the big shark O'Neal.

Old Nelson understood what Winnie meant, he was slightly stunned, patted his forehead with his hand and suddenly said, "Why did I forget this, yes, child, you did a good job!" You've done a great job! ”

In response to Old Nelson's boast, Winnie reluctantly curled the corners of her mouth, seemingly disapproving of his compliment.

Chamberlain was confused, and he asked confusedly, "What do you mean?" Which star does Curry have a good relationship with? ”

Old Nelson smiled mysteriously and said, "If my expectations are right, Winnie will soon introduce you to this person, if you want to know the answer, then go to her, I can't give you the answer." ”

Chamberlain wanted to go to Winnie to ask, but the latter had already turned away from the two of them, leaving him with only a swaying back.

Curry's role is actually not big, Chamberlain's shooting posture is absolutely no problem, his problem is that the force is too large, and the moment he jumps up to shoot, he can't control this force, in other words, basketball is too light for him.

Chamberlain told Curry about his problem, who shook his head with a smile and said, "No, Z, your problem is not here, if it's really because you have too much power and you can't control him, then you will be very inaccurate in your free throws." But what about the facts? You've made enough free throws to finish in the top five among the big guys! ”

Curry's statement is also very reasonable, he found a new training method for Chamberlain, that is, a dozen plastic balls of the same size as a basketball were specially ordered, the thickness of these balls was different, some were as light as chicken feathers, and some were heavier than normal basketballs, Curry asked Chamberlain to use these balls to train his ball and confidence.

December 7 is a big day for the Warriors, it is the second day after they play the Pistons, according to the team's routine, after a day of rest, today is the team training, and the reason why today's training is so important is because of the return of Byron Davis after a month-long absence.

"I've been waiting for you to come back for a long time." Seeing Davis change into his training clothes, Jackson smiled and went up and punched him.

Davis also laughed, his beard shaking: "Brothers, let me lead you to turn the alliance upside down!" To be honest, it's not a good feeling to sit on a cold bench, and I've been in hell for the past month, and I swear I'll never taste it again in my life. ”

Saying this, Davis aimed his eyes at Chamberlain, and Jackson and the others sneered and did not answer, and also looked at Chamberlain.

Everything is fine, except for the sentence 'let me lead you to turn the league upside down', and now even five-year-old fans know that the tactical core of the Warriors is Chamberlain, how much does the old Nelson value him? In the game, it is to cultivate the growth of Chamberlain, and the old man doesn't care about the outcome of the game.

In the words of Kenny Smith when TNT broadcast the Warriors game live nationally, that is the only hope that Nelson Sr. has for this season, that is, Chamberlain can grow, even if the team is rotten this season, it doesn't matter, this season he is dedicated to Chamberlain's training.

Chamberlain reached out his hand and high-fived Davis in a friendly manner, and said with a smile: "I can't wait for this day, let me give the league a big surprise together." ”

Chamberlain's performance made most of the players in the team breathe a sigh of relief, they are most afraid that he and Davis will pinch each other, one is the former boss and the other is the current boss, they can't afford to provoke it, the fairy fight imp suffers, they don't want the team's record to plummet because of the two people's anger, of course, they are more afraid that their data will decline because of the two of them.

Old Nelson, who served as the referee of the training match, had been smiling all the time, looking kind, but looking at the sharp eyes in his squinted eyes, he knew that the thoughts in his heart now were not so affinity as they appeared on the outside.
