Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Time flies by quietly like water.  Su Dongpo once left a beautiful saying that has been passed down through the ages: "Life is like a dream, and a bottle returns the moon in the river." Shakespeare also said: "Life is like a performance, we are the actors and God is the director." Yes,  God is the being who directs the joys and sorrows of the world. He sits high in the clouds and overlooks all living beings. He controls the life path of a person or a group of people at will, but people don't know it. They just indulge in the busy journey of life and run wildly with their heads down.  .  If we can pause our running pace, stand up straight and take a good look at the scenery on both sides of the road of life, we will definitely be able to discover some things that we have ignored, and those things are called beautiful memories of life.  However, there are always very few people who can enjoy this leisurely life. Therefore, most people rely on the reminder of the God of Time. They wait until thirty or fifty years later, when everything has settled and the coffin is finalized.  You will suddenly realize like waking up from a dream: Oh, it turns out that I was lucky enough to experience such a great era personally. For NHAR fans, they have experienced different greatness in different life stages. ? NHAR Spoon History, almost every era, has great existence, but this kind of greatness is always accompanied by controversy. The first unquestionable greatness was made by Jordan.  It was Game 5 of the 1997 Finals where Jordan truly cemented his godhood. In that game, the Flying Man was omnipotent. He made jump shots, assists, steals, and rebounds. In addition, he also dominated the Bulls' almost every game in the fourth quarter.  All the points, and at the last moment, he also contributed a sharp steal that could be recorded in history, and then made the most dazzling buzzer beater in NHA history. It was not easy to achieve these achievements, but what few people knew at the time was that,  In that game, Jordan suffered a sudden gastroenteritis due to food poisoning. Before the game, he was unable to run. After the victory, he collapsed and could only leave the field with the help of a leather hood. It was these difficult carvings that created the diamond-like dazzling appearance of a generation of football gods.  The legendary moment Jordan defined his era with his fadeaway jumper and his bloody kill.  After that, Jordan retired and NHAi entered the Warring States Period when heroes emerged.  It is undeniable that it was a wonderful era, with the four major centers fighting bloodthirsty and the four major shooting guards fighting vertically and horizontally. However, that era can only be said to be wonderful, and it is far from the level of greatness.  Even if, in the next ten years, the NHA had King Kong, Shaquille O'Neal and three consecutive championships, the immovable Stone Buddha Duncan led the Holy City Cavaliers to three championships in five years, the fierce Pluto Allen Iverson swept the league, and the emergence of Alien  The visitor Carter crossed the basketball hoops across the league, the cold and arrogant snake king Kobe Bryant appeared to defend the glory of the money aristocracy, the hot-blooded God of War Kevin Thorne led the Green Army, and the almighty young emperor LeBron appeared -  James killed gods and Buddhas, and the cold-blooded killer Kevin Durant emerged to win the championship In those years, these people carefully protected NHAR with their stubbornness and persistence. Together, they took over the great torch left by Jordan, but  Never set him on fire.  It was not until the tenth year after 1997 that a young Chinese man with a handsome smile landed in NHA Chamberlain, 8pE. His arrival brought NHA back into a great era, and he redefined the meaning of the word "greatness".  His era lasted for twenty years. Twenty years?  How many twenty years can a person have in twenty years?  How many fractions of a player's career can last twenty years?  NHA - it can even be said that all sports are accustomed to defining an era in six years, because generally speaking, it is not easy for even a talented athlete to maintain his dominant peak for five years.  According to this calculation, Chamberlain ruled four eras, and this number can even be expanded.  Time passed, from 207 to 23 years.  In 228, the World Cup in Beijing had just ended, and the eyes of football fans all over the world gathered in that mysterious and vibrant ancient oriental country, enjoying a gluttonous feast that only belonged to football fans.  But this year, for basketball fans, it will be much more heartbreaking.  Chamberlain, who has dominated the NHA, world basketball, and world basketball fans for more than 30 years, is finally retiring.  "Superman can run through hurricanes, tsunamis, and natural and man-made disasters, but he can't run through time." At the Warriors' kickoff press conference for the new season, Chamberlain said with a smile, "Finally, time has come. I think I  The retirement of Chamberlain is about to be put on the agenda, either next season, not a certain season, or this season. After getting this news, countless people in all corners of the world shed tears. Yes, Chamberlain is old, just as they themselves are also old.  How many people looked in the mirror sadly and suddenly realized that the high-spirited young man who cheered for Chamberlain had turned into a pot-bellied middle-aged man. No matter what he has become now, no matter what he has experienced over the years.  , for largeFor most people, they can never forget that summer 21 years ago.  Many people may not remember that in the summer of 207, the Celtics formed a rare Big Three combination at the time, creating a superstar alliance for the first time. Then that year, they naturally won the championship.  Few people may still remember that that year, the national basketball world was building momentum for a young man. He was called "The Great" before he entered the NHA. In the summer at that time, countless experts were predicting that there would be a dominant super insider.  Entered NHA.  At that time, if the experts made this judgment based on analysis, then the fans could only say that they were talking nonsense. But if they said that they came to this conclusion based on intuition, astrology, or even asking a Feng Shui master to tell fortunes, then the fans would  On the contrary, it is easier to believe.  Because no fan will forget that that summer, a super new star was born, passed through Oakland, set foot on the NHAR spoon battlefield, and started his legendary career. From that summer on, basketball games for many people, suddenly  The words have become simple. Countless people look at the Warriors as if they are looking at the truth. This truth comes from the man who never let the fans' hopes fail, Chamberlain.  What Chamberlain brings to the fans is victory that is always trustworthy. It seems to be a matter of course that he will win the championship in every game he participates in.  Just like in movies, it is natural that good people will be rewarded and justice will defeat evil.  Although in the early and late stages of Chamberlain's career, his dominance was not as strong as imagined, and there were many people and teams that could threaten his victory, but fans still never worried that Chamberlain could not bring them a championship.  In the eyes of fans, the Warriors' season battle is like Journey to the West, complex and simple - the complexity is that they have to endure 8 hardships in a season, and they have to constantly encounter tests and tortures, while the simple  The thing is, in the end Monkey King will undoubtedly take away the scripture, and the Warriors will still win the final championship.  Because of trust, we love. At that time, countless children and teenagers all over the world, because of the influence of Chamberlain, put on short-sleeved T-shirts and rushed to the basketball court with a basketball, even though they often had to endure bruises on their fingers like carrots.  Severe pain, even if you often suffer from sprained ankles.  Chamberlain reinterpreted the image of basketball and the image of sports. Under the spotlight, he created a new era and a great dynasty.  "It's a pity that there is no banquet in the world that lasts forever, and there is no dynasty that never fades.  The 2229 season was Chamberlain¡¯s last season. At that time, he was already 40 years old and competing with a group of twenty-year-old boys in the penalty area.  On October 3, 2022, the NHA regular season kicked off.  When the snow-white No. 0 jersey came to the arena, the whole place was buzzing with applause and cheers. Even though B asked the fans to sit down, the fans still cheered and applauded stubbornly on the court, so that the game had to be postponed.  It takes five minutes.  The Warriors¡¯ first game of the season was against the local giants, the Los Angeles Lakers.  The proud Purple and Gold Legion has never withdrawn from the powerful NHA. In the 20 years of intrastate derby, the Warriors and Lakers have given countless wonderful games.  Chamberlain appeared on the stage, and the new stars of the Lakers faced the Warriors under the leadership of veteran Wiggins.  Andrew Wiggins, born in 1995, joined the NHA as the No. 1 pick in 2014 and then became famous with the Timberwolves. At his peak, he joined the Lakers and quickly became the new boss of this aristocratic team.  Regarding Wiggins and Chamberlain, what fans talk about is the relationship between the two and their opponents. As we all know, Wiggins is one of the first generation superstars who graduated from St. Lawrence School owned by Chamberlain.  After entering the league, he caused great trouble to Chamberlain and became one of the latter's important opponents. However, Wiggins has always been only Chamberlain's opponent, and one of them, and has never defeated Chamberlain head-on.  Looking at the mature Wiggins, Chamberlain was vaguely in a trance for a moment. This little guy who was also wearing the No. 0 jersey seemed to have suddenly transformed into a guy who was accustomed to wearing a cold smile on his face. The guy was wearing  It¡¯s the jersey number, and he has a resounding nickname, Black Mamba.  Although Wiggins and Chamberlain have fought against each other for many years, in the latter's mind, the real opponent of his era was not Wiggins, but Kobe Bryant, who had retired for many years.  When today's fans mention Kobe Bryant, they think of a series of records, such as the third highest scorer in history, a series of record holders in the history of the Lakers, and the historical iron king, etc. There are very few people like Chamberlain.  I clearly remember that the guy who is now nicknamed the Iron King once dominated the NH line and once made Chamberlain despair. The 40-year-old Chamberlain is no longer omnipotent, although the Warriors continue to pass the ball under the command of Michael Lee.  The ball was given to him for a single, but Chamberlain startedHe missed his first four shots and only scored on a hook with 6 minutes and 15 seconds left in the first quarter.  In that game, Chamberlain made only B of 2 shots in the game. The team's highest shot was only the team's second-highest 2 points.  Wiggins on the opposite side was full of firepower and scored 46 points. However, the Warriors still had the last laugh because of Chamberlain's 2 rebounds and Michael Lee's 14 assists and 2 points.  After the game, Wiggins hugged Chamberlain, with that green and silly smile still on his face, but they were no longer young.  After all the changes, the lights at the Warriors' home court are still bright, but the once omnipotent god here seems to have lost his magic.  Although Chamberlain still scored 220, although many media still gave Chamberlain the most praise after the game, everyone can see that the former god has fallen and he does not have the ability to decide the outcome of the game alone.  Able.  But the fans don¡¯t care. As long as Chamberlain can play, they are satisfied. As long as they can see Chamberlain¡¯s hook, see his dunks, and see his rebounds, that¡¯s enough.  "But Chamberlain cares about this. He is indeed retiring, but he doesn't want to leave the battlefield in despair for which he has devoted all his efforts.  In the second game, Chamberlain played the most minutes in the game, took the most shots in the game, scored the most in the game, had the highest rebounds in the game, and blocked the most shots in the game. His age, well, was also the highest in the game.  19 points in the half, 1-1 points on 2-for-14 shooting, plus 6 rebounds, 6 blocks, 2 assists, played 44 minutes, only made one mistake.  This is Chamberlain, even if he has taken off the crown, he is still the emperor who rules the world.  The season continued. On January 7, 2022, the Warriors played against Boston. Standing in the TD North Shore Garden Arena, which was as old as a museum, Chamberlain looked around, but he couldn't find the three old guys in green jerseys.  Garnett's provocation, Pierce's ridicule, and Gentleman Lei's smile, all of this seemed like a world away.  The 40-year-old Chamberlain scored 3 points, still the highest in the game, but his team lost.  On this day, his opponent was George Piado, the number one power forward in the Eastern Conference. The 2-year-old Piado played 3 minutes and scored 2 points and 14 rebounds, which was not bad, especially when he was defended by Chamberlain.  to this data.  After the game, Piadot found Chamberlain and wanted to exchange jerseys no matter what. He smiled and said: "I will collect this jersey together with the MP trophy I won last season." Two days later, Chamberlain stopped by.  Went to Philadelphia, where his old brother AI welcomed him, and his opponent was the young AI Ander-Yi.  The fast-moving little AI was defeated this time. The old man Chamberlain gave him four big hats and scored 3 points on his territory, which was still the highest in the game.  After that, Chamberlain returned to the home court, but his physical strength was in crisis. He only made 6 of 20 shots in the game, which was terrible. In the first three quarters, he made an astonishing 15 shots and only scored 6 points on free throws. Fortunately, he scored the highest score in the game.  17 rebounds.  At this moment, the fans finally discovered that 8pE was no longer the iron man with unlimited energy. He would also get tired and tired.  The next opponent is the Bucks. Today's Milwaukee is not the weakling team it was back then. They have the most powerful offensive trio in the league, known as the Three Musketeers.  After two days of rest, Chamberlain returned to 6-for-14 shooting, a game-high -1 points, and a game-high 15 rebounds.  But the Warriors still lost to their opponents at home. The three Musketeers on the opposite side teamed up to score a terrifying 6 points. After losing two of the first five games, Chamberlain could only smile bitterly because he had not tasted this kind of experience for too many years.  It feels good, it seems that except for their rookie season, they have never lost in the first five games.  Continuous defeats stimulated Chamberlain's nerves. This season, Chamberlain was moved to the power forward position. In order to protect him, the team handed over the more physically demanding center position to the team's newcomers.  After two defeats in five games, the most attractive game of the NHA year took place. Chamberlain led his team to Oklahoma City. Their opponent was the Thunder. There was a guy on the Thunder team named Kevin Durant.  This game was broadcast live across the United States. The moment Chamberlain hugged Durant after entering the court, countless fans burst into tears and countless people in front of the TV were eclipsed.  More than twenty years ago, in the summer of 207, two young people entered the NHA together. They were both rivals and even friends. They had gone through twenty-one years of confrontation. One was the overlord on the inside and the other was on the outside.  Scoring machines, the confrontation between the two of them is a well-deserved battle of the times.  Facing his old rival, Chamberlain was unceremonious. The Warriors once again adjusted the lineup for him, and Chamberlain returned to his favorite and most familiar center position.  Then, he scored 45 points and 17 rebounds on 17-of-3 shooting in the game, but Durant on the opposite side was like a teenager. At the same 40-year-old age, he scored 40 points on 15-of-3 shooting.  The game is over, Du ??Te told the media helplessly, "I lost again in the matchup, but it seems that I have got used to it, haha, but I am very happy that our team won." Yes, the Warriors played this game again  In the loss, Chamberlain played bravely, but the Warriors only had Michael Lee to help him, and the others combined to score no more than 40 points.  After only winning three games in six games, the Warriors' winning percentage was only 6. This is something that has never happened before in history. Next, against the Hornets, Chamberlain was still very efficient, making 15 of 2 shots, 3 points and 10 rebounds. The Warriors won  , but Chamberlain was not happy.  Because Chamberlain's little brother, Michael Lee, the only one who could help him, injured his knee in this game, causing the old meniscus injury to recur and left the game early. Afterwards, after an MRI examination, the bad news came out that Michael was half a month old.  The plate is completely torn and may require partial removal surgery. This season, it will be reimbursed. After Chamberlain received the news, he was silent for a long time at the press conference. The first words he spoke were: "My heart is broken.  Michael is a good man and should not suffer such torture. Without Michael Lee, who was trained by him, Chamberlain's life will be even more difficult. After that, he played against the Grizzlies, the Eagles, and the Mavericks. The 40-year-old Chamberlain averaged 100 points per game.  3 points and 6 rebounds, but the young Warriors have suffered a dismal three-game losing streak. At this point, the Warriors have only won 4 games in ten games, with a winning rate of only 40. This is the lowest since Chamberlain joined the NHA.  At the press conference after losing to the Mavericks, Chamberlain, who had been stubborn for more than 20 years, bowed his proud head to fate for the first time. He said helplessly: "You know, we may not be able to win the championship this season."  Just such a sentence came out of Chamberlain's mouth, and even the most ruthless reporter's eyes turned red on the spot.  This is Chamberlain, this is NHAR, the undefeated god of war. Even he has bowed to fate. Is this the power of time?  West, Curry, and Ibaka, these retired brothers all stood up to support Chamberlain. Mad Dog said angrily: "I think I should pay to see what those guys are playing. Even us old brothers  On the field, his cooperation was much better than theirs. Did they assign him as a teammate? Chamberlain later criticized West and warned his friends and fans that he could be harsher on him, the big brother who leads the team, and please be tolerant to his teammates.  Some. Chamberlain knows that it¡¯s not that these people don¡¯t work hard, but that they have limited abilities. Although he has made the Warriors the world¡¯s number one team over the years, their team has been too strong and has not been able to make reinforcements in the draft for many years.  , and this is the number one reason why Chamberlain decided to retire. At this time, his presence has hindered the development of the team. In this case, he will retire a few days later, another old rival, Jabari Paik, will lead the Timberwolves.  Giving Chamberlain a five-game losing streak, the Warriors collapsed in the third quarter, allowing their opponents to score 3 points in a single quarter. During the five-game losing streak, most of the defeats occurred in the third quarter. The Warriors, who once frightened their opponents, now seem to have gone crazy in the second half.  It became a shackle around their necks. The ghosts on the battlefield who were swept away by the Warriors' knife now turned around and were chasing their souls. It was the old rival Celtics who rescued the Warriors. A defensive battle.  After two hard-fought overtimes, the Warriors won L18-L14 and did not let the losing streak continue. But people were surprised to find that this was not a standard Chamberlain-style victory with 4 minutes and 33 seconds left in the fourth quarter.  At that time, they still led by /66, but then they were beaten by their opponent in a humiliating 2:0 game and was dragged into overtime. Although they won in the end, the aging Chamberlain made 10 shots in the crucial double overtime.  2, completely losing his previous dominance at critical moments. Although in terms of statistics, Chamberlain's 2 points, 17 rebounds and 6 blocks are not too ugly, but that is only for ordinary players, and Chamberlain has already been beaten by himself.  Countless fans have defined a completely different benchmark. Today, the benchmark is still in people's memory, but it is no longer on the court. However, the fans cannot criticize it, because they sadly discovered that Chamberlain really lacks helpers.  As the Warriors failed again and again, the fans' enthusiasm began to fade. They could only lament that time flies by, the years are ruthless, heroes grow old, and beauties grow old. This scene finally happened to Chamberlain on May 2, 228.  No. 1, the Warriors defeated the San Antonio Spurs in an away game. Chamberlain scored 30 points. Opposite him, the new No. 1 pick, 19-year-old Joel Carter, scored 40 points on 17 shots. In addition, he also had a game-high 15 points.  A rebound. Joel Carter, the No. 1 pick in the 2022 NH draft, a new generation super center from Georgetown University, a two-year NCAA career, and two championships. Carter was in high spirits. After the game, he put his arm around Chamberlain's shoulders, as if he was the one.  The god of war on the court, Chamberlain smiledHe is open-minded and does not seem to care about this defeat. But only a few people who really know him - such as Durant, said in an interview: "The next time we meet, Joel Carter will be unlucky. 22 years 2  On the 1st, under the full restriction of the young Magic, Chamberlain made only 6 of 19 shots. The Warriors lost by 9 points at home. It is worth mentioning that old rival DeAndre Jordan finally played for the Magic.  In the game, he scored the same 6 points as Chamberlain, in addition to 14 rebounds. Because of a draft that year, Jordan and Chamberlain have been entangled for nearly two decades. Every time the unruly Jordan met the Warriors, he was inevitable.  Respond with the most serious attitude, this time it is still the case. However, this battle seems to be a dead end. Jordan may have exhausted too much energy in this game - after all, he is an old guy who is nearly forty years old, and he can still do it.  It was amazing to play in the NHAT. In the next game, Jordan strained his back muscle and then retired midway. Chamberlain later attended Jordan's retirement ceremony, and the latter smiled at Chamberlain for the first time.  The two held hands tightly, and Jordan smiled melancholy: "You know, at that time, I really wanted to join the Warriors. When you said you would choose me before the draft, I got excited.  One week I told everyone around me that I would go to the Warriors and I would be teammates with them." At this moment, Chamberlain finally understood why Jordan hated them so much. "By the way, do you regret it later?  Choose me?  "Jiaodan asked with a smile. Chamberlain said sincerely: "I regret it. Facts have proved that we paid for it and missed the best big man that year.  " After hearing this, Xiao Jordan breathed a sigh of relief and murmured: "I knew you would regret it. I worked very hard to make myself worthy of being your opponent. It's great that you regret it.  .  " DeAndre Jordan, retired, the insider star of the same era as Chamberlain, finally withered and dissipated, like snowflakes falling in the water, disappearing and melting. The game a week later was the event that Chinese fans paid most attention to. The old Chinese hero Chamberlain and the Chinese  The match between super guard Xu Renfei was full of drama. In the first quarter, the young and energetic Xu was aggressive and scored 19 points in a single quarter. However, after only scoring 4 points in the second quarter, he was completely misfired in the second half.  No points were scored, but the veteran Chamberlain was calm and composed. He made a B shot in the third quarter and led the team to a 2-1 quarter victory by 6 points. Finally, they defeated their opponents in the away game. After losing five games in a row, the Warriors had unknowingly won.  In the next two games, the Warriors defeated the Hawks and Magic, winning by 45 points, which also allowed the Warriors to re-enter the Western Conference playoffs.
