NBA: Starting off with Chamberlain's talent

Chapter 119

Enter the year 2004.

The league is changing.

No one expected that the Golden State Warriors, who had been insulated from the playoffs this time last year, played a winning season in January.

After defeating the Memphis Grizzlies in an away game on February 2, the Warriors also achieved a terrifying record of 2 consecutive victories.

Many people thought that the Warriors lost their strong perimeter firepower after trading Mike Dunleavy, but they were wrong.

In order to fit the powerful Chinese beast, the management traded Battier to the Warriors as a puzzle to win the championship, which is perfect.

In this wave of strong winning streak of the Warriors, the fans also lamented that a generation of newcomers replaced the old ones.

Pippen, who sticks to the Chicago Bulls, is also his last dance this season.

In the Warriors' game against the Bulls, Pippen scored two points in just seven minutes of playing time.

The old Batman's powerless defense is in stark contrast to the powerful offensive and defensive dominance of the Chinese beast.

This generation is old.

More than 30 support votes in the All-Star voting are probably the best comfort for Pippen.

It's time to retire.

The same goes for Mashburn of the Hornets.

Last year, Jamal Mashburn was selected as the first of the "Top Ten Small Forwards in the League" by Mike Kahn, a well-known columnist on FOX Sports Network. In the same year, he was selected to the NBA All-Star Team and the NBA All-NBA Third Team.

Even if he can still contribute 20+ points this season, there are more than 20 votes in the All-Star vote.

But Mashburn, who only played 19 games, decided to quit the arena due to injuries...

"The Warriors who have won 18 consecutive victories will win the championship without any suspense"

After entering the countdown to the All-Star weekend in February, such news is not surprising.

Because Zhang You, the Chinese mythical beast, has more than 250W votes at this time, the position of the first starting All-Star center in the Western Conference is already a certainty.

In the TNT program, Barkley, Smith and others also discussed the menacing Warriors.

"After their 10-game winning streak, their luck came. Their team is healthy enough and the rotation is reasonable, which allowed them to win all the games in January."

"That's right, the Pistons, which may have ended their winning streak, hurt their ass because Ben stepped on soap. Kevin Garnett wanted to take revenge, but his shooting was terrible that day, which made Zhang feel no pressure inside."

"How many consecutive victories they will have this season, I think it depends on Zhang You's health. It seems that in every era, it is always easier to win the championship with a super insider."

"Yes, it seems that next year's No. [-] pick will be the big man."

“他们现在取得了18场连胜，而18连胜的纪录有4支球队创造，他们分别是1969-1970的尼克斯，1981-1982的凯尔特人，1995-1996的公牛。”

"Let me take a look at their next milestone. The 19-game winning streak was created by the OK combination in 2000, when Shaq reached the peak of his career. The previous ones are farther away than the Bucks in the 1970-1971 season... ..."

"Of course, there is also the most perverted Los Angeles Lakers led by Chamberlain West in 1972. They won 33 wins at that time!"

"Oh, my God, the 18-game winning streak has put the Warriors in the third place in history. Although they are tied, they have a great chance to create a new history!"

"Chuck, let's not talk about the distant season, do you think they have a chance to match the Lakers' 19-game winning streak, or even reach more than 20 consecutive victories?"

"Haha, I think there is a great chance. Their next opponent, the Mavericks, has lost to them twice this season! There is only one possibility for the Warriors to lose."

"uh-huh?"

"That's why Zhang You can't play the game! I think his dominance is stronger than the Sharks in 2000. You must know that O'Neal's grandma can win the championship with Jordan. I think the same is true. His grandma is with Zhang You. There's no problem breaking their winning streak."

Because of Zhang You's abnormal performance as usual in January, it also made him undoubtedly elected as the best of the month again.

28.3 points, 15.9 rebounds, 7.3 assists and 1.7 blocks.

The rookie season was the best of the month for 3 consecutive times, and the second place was Kevin Garnett of the Timberwolves.

This made Garnett, who was in training, numb after hearing the news.

"Kevin, you hit a stat of 23+15+5 this month, but Zhang You's stat is even more abnormal. Not only that, we didn't win the Warriors this month."

Hearing the madman's "comfort" to him, Garnett felt extremely relieved.

He sneered and said: "Winning some regular seasons is nothing. The real test of the quality of a superstar is in the playoffs. This is not the 80s and 90s. The real tough battles are all in the playoffs. Now the confrontation is a child's play." If it was at that time, Zhang You would have been torn to pieces by Lambir."

The madman Trier Sprewell also trembled when he heard Lambiel's name, his scalp numb.

Even Jordan, the god of basketball, was crushed under his hands, and the guy known as "Little Jordan" was no exception.

Is Jang Woo really soft?

Hearing what Kevin Garnett meant, Sprewell smiled.

"Kevin."

"Ok?"

"If we meet Zhang in the playoffs, you have to be tough."

"Of course."

It has to be said that the atmosphere in the Timberwolves team of the "three-headed monster" combination is still relatively harmonious, and the cooperation is becoming more and more tacit. No one can underestimate the power of both offense and defense.

This is also an important guarantee that they are currently ranked third in the West.

Auckland City

Training hall

Zhang You, Richardson, Curry and others are also painstakingly studying the unique skills to be prepared in the dunk contest.

Stephen Curry is actively offering advice and suggestions for Zhang You.

"Zhang, listen to me, you can definitely do it with one hand at the free throw line."

As he said that, he rushed up and buckled one, and even used the prototype of a big windmill.

Obviously, it's lonely.

If this is dunked in, go to the Great Cold Netherworld Dunk Contest to dunk one and tear up a few pieces of clothes!

Zhang You said in surprise, "Stephen, you are jumping higher and higher!"

"It's all thanks to you, my brother!"

Stephen Curry proudly said.

Zhang You nodded and saw that the slam dunk king development plan had also reached 30%, which made his three-point shooting ability finally reach 80.

The three-point shooting ability value of 80 is almost the same as that of Pietrus.

But not far from Richardson.

Last season, Richardson had a 36.8% three-point shooting percentage. This season, with Zhang You's restraint, it has increased to 40%!

However, in the team competition for open three-pointers, Zhang You still had time to beat Richardson.

This made Richardson and his teammates shout abnormal.

Because, it seems that Zhang You's progress will never stop.

"How about a 360-degree windmill in homage to Carter? I think you can do it."

Richardson is also offering advice.

Zhang You was also in deep thought.

Winning the All-Star Slam Dunk Contest and clearing the dungeon is a must.

After all, there are not many opportunities for the free prostitution system.

And just as they were practicing dunks, news came from the team.

"Nick is out."
