Chapter 136 When the Warrior Came to Prison
Detroit City
Ben Wallace received a letter from a fan.
"Thank you, Mr. Wallace, for showing me that it's possible to be in the NBA or even an All-Star even if you're not tall enough."
The signature of this letter is - your little fan, Draymond Green.
On the day of the media interview, Ben Wallace received the letter, his dark face twitched.
"The Warriors have three dunk kings now, the Lakers have assembled F4, the Timberwolves' "three-headed monster" combination, and the Kings are also trying to make a comeback. The East has Indiana on top of you. Do you expect the Pistons to reach the second round? ?”
TNT reporters always try to detonate people like eating TNT explosives when they ask players questions.
That's right, the media like to fan the flames and create some eye-catching gimmicks.
Compared with other teams, the Pistons are a civilian team. In the just-concluded All-Star Weekend, only Big Ben was selected for the main game.
Da Ben didn't even look at the reporter, but solemnly put the letter in his pocket.
He turned expressionlessly and walked towards the arena...
at the same time.
Vince Carter's arrival in Oakland caused a stir in the league.
Three new aids appeared one by one.
They were smiling with Warriors jerseys in hand.
"It's unbelievable. In the past half a month, the three of you just played against the Warriors, and you didn't expect to join the Warriors in the blink of an eye!"
A reporter from the local sports media in Oakland said excitedly.
Of the three, the main course was of course Vince Carter.
Lu and Howard left early, but Vince Carter was surrounded by reporters.
They wanted to find out if Carter was really injured?
I want to know if he came to snatch the boss from Zhang You?
Is it really a good deal to replace Nick Van Exel with him?
"Vince! Is your goal here to be a championship?"
"How will the ball rights be divided between you and Zhang?"
"You only played 10 minutes in the All-Star Game, how is your physical condition now?"
"Zhang You is No. 15 jersey, you changed to No. 1 jersey, what do you think?"
Reporters in the Bay Area asked a lot of questions on behalf of the fans.
The most worrying thing is Carter's physical condition.
Vince Carter looked left and right and didn't know how to answer so many questions for a while.
Then he looked serious.
"Oh! The number of the jersey, yes, Zhang Youjin chose the number 15 jersey because I invited him to participate in the All-Star Game last year, and he had a crush on me. In fact, I was his idol since he was a child. , I didn’t expect that even my own jersey number was taken by him now, I never expected to be on the same team with him, but Zhang has promised me that he can change it next season..."
"Now I choose the No. 1 jersey because I was selected by the Warriors with the fifth overall pick in 98 at the beginning of my career. 1 means that I am at my feet and start again."
After speaking seriously, Carter even amused himself.
"The first half sentence is my bullshit. Zhang You told me that he chose No. 15 purely because he was lazy. He originally wanted to wear No. 13, but the Warriors' No. 13 is Wilt Chamberlain, and his jersey has been retired, so he just chose it casually." Got a number."
Carter seemed relieved to be here, already looking forward to the future.
"Believe me, when you come here, amazing things will happen!"
"Come here, our goal is of course the championship!!"
Although Zhang You is a rookie, he has shown stronger dominance than rookie O'Neal.
Debut is the level of the peak shark.
With another Carter and a bunch of ruthless people, it is completely unreasonable not to aim for the championship.
You must know that during the three consecutive championships of OK, the combination of Kobe + O'Neal averaged 50+ points per game. Scored 99 points.
And Richardson of the Warriors can get almost as many points.
The Lakers at that time also included Ron Harper, Robert Horry and others who followed the Zen master.
If so, what are the shortcomings of the team.
That should be the head coach.
"Coach Eric, the Warriors have won 22 consecutive victories, why trade Nick and Murphy? Will it not destroy the team's chemical reaction?"
"Oh, I'm just the manager, it's the management's job, but I always believe in our players, do the job well, get a good result, that's it."
Coach Musselman also answered the reporter's questions according to the procedure.
I know how to cook my own food.
The previous lineup was good, but the loss was too great.
Zhang You played more than 42 minutes in each game.
And Zhang You has to bear most of the responsibilities on both offensive and defensive ends.
Just like Malone said, if it comes to the playoffs with increased intensity, the efficiency of the entire Warriors will not be guaranteed.
Maybe the team will lose due to running-in, but they want to go further in the playoffs and win the finals.
Mullin's business was doing just fine.
time does not wait.
After the new aid completed the transaction and completed a series of procedures, they immediately ushered in a tough opponent!
Portland Trail Blazers.
The Trail Blazers hovered between 8-10 in the West this season.
Their most notable feature is that they often pull down strong teams.
This season, they trade frequently this season, and Rasheed Wallace in the lineup is said to be going to the Pistons soon.
Many NBA players come from the ghetto, and without basketball, they would be regulars in prison.
Even after becoming an NBA player, he could face jail time.
In the past few seasons, such strangeness has appeared in the Trail Blazers who are known as the "Portland Prison Team".
In the summer of 2001, the Trail Blazers hired Maurice Cheeks, whom even Iverson highly respected, as the head coach. What they valued was the resume of this Hall of Fame player who won a championship, an All-Star, and was selected to the best team. .
During that time, apart from Pippen and old Sabonis, there was no fuel-efficient lamp.
Regardless of the past tense such as Rain Man Camp.
Quintene Woods, who is still in the Trail Blazers lineup, was accused of illegal possession of D marijuana, and was arrested again for participating in dog fighting and being considered animal cruelty...
The team's starting point guard, Momonga Stoudemire, is only 1 meters tall, but his bounce is outstanding. This season, he can average 78+14 per game.
Outside the arena, after smoking opium, he happily drove over the speed limit and was locked up for 4 days through the airport. He was released after paying a $25 deposit, and had to undergo hair testing from time to time...
Rasheed Wallace yelled at the referee at every turn, threatened the referee after the game, and was caught and prosecuted by the police with a small flying mouse driving with something "happy".
And now the team's leading scorer, Zach Randolph.Not long ago, I said that my aunt passed away and had to ask for leave to attend the funeral, but was photographed by the media having fun in a nightclub.
Two days later, the media asked the confused Randolph, "Your aunt's funeral is in a strip club?"
Not only that, but he also fought with teammate Patterson many times.
Don't worry, in addition to starting, they are also full of talents on the bench.
Bunch Wells, who was arrested for attempted rape, and Eric Buckley, who was arrested for fighting with the police after drinking; the whole family smoked D, and Ruben Patterson, a prison regular who was accused of raping a nanny and abusing his wife...
These guys don't even like Portland fans.
Especially after the loss, the fans put up signs to boycott them.
The Warriors played away tonight and received warm applause, but the Portland Trail Blazers were booed all over the sky.
This almost made the Warriors players think that they played a fake away game.
But the "criminals" didn't care much with their rebellious expressions on their faces.
It's not that they haven't proved their strength. Such a team with many conflicting players and constant troubles off the court has made it to the playoffs for two consecutive years...
Even the narrator of the Blazers' home team was weak when it came to the home team's starting lineup.
"Damon Stoudemire, Derek Anderson, Zach Randolph, Rasheed Wallace are the starters tonight, with Ruben Patterson, Quintel Woods on the bench..."
"Well, the kid Bunch Wells has finally been traded away. I think our team will have a trade in the near future."
