82. Ball trainer

Nate Thurmond, two meters tall and one-to-one, weighs 240 pounds, is the most fierce center in NBA history. None of them, the inside player that the "Vulcan" Alonzo Mooning admires the most. He has been fighting in the NBA for 14 years and will be a hero in the world, averaging 15 points and 15 rebounds. His versatility in his ball skills is outrageous. In terms of data, he has become the first record-breaking four-double maker in NBA history.

In 1963, Thurmond was won by the Warriors in the third pick. The Warriors' head coach was replaced at that time, but the team owner was still Eddie Gottlieb. It was precisely because of his existence that the genius Wilt Chamberlain was actually traded by the Warriors - this was an active deal. Zhang Dashuai believed that the Warriors had no championship bloodline and resolutely returned to Philadelphia where he became famous. However, at that time, the Philadelphia NBA team was no longer the Warriors, but the 76ers.

Before the 1980s, Thurmond's reputation in San Francisco even surpassed the famous Golden Gate Bridge at home and abroad. After retiring, the Warriors and the Cavaliers, both of his career teams, retired him with jerseys.

The only regret is that this super insider devotes his career and has never won a championship. Nowadays, fans only know the regrets of Malone and Stockton, but who knows that before the two, there was another braver tough guy who had a career that was even more tragic.

After retiring, Thurmond, his hometown in Cleveland, did not settle in that beautiful town, but returned to Oakland to open this veteran restaurant, and also became a basketball community worker for the Warriors.

By the way, the main reason why Thurmond failed to play for the Warriors for the first time was that Gottlieb sold the team. The new Warriors boss wanted to brand the team his own mark, so he sent the team's core and locker room boss Thurmond away. Gottlieb tried his best to help Thurmond and sent him to the Cleveland Cavaliers where he was in his hometown. This is also the reason why Thurmond was willing to return to San Francisco after retirement.

The Warriors are in Oakland and Eddy Gottlieb is in San Francisco.

"What are you going to do? Everyone knows that my bacon is very good." Thurmond walked over with a towel and laughed happily. The weather was almost December, and the west coast was about to fall heavily, but he was only wearing a T-shirt, which was still sleeveless. The strong muscles supported the T-shirt high, as if it would be broken at any time.

Winnie said simply: "I won't eat. You can be a defensive trainer for Xiao Zhang and teach him how to keep his strength as much as possible when grabbing rebounds."

This is also one of the problems that Chamberlain has encountered. He is too hard. Although he is far ahead of other players in the league, it is a result that he has achieved with all his strength. So far, the eighth of the league's 82 games have ended. The more Chamberlain's physical strength will be overdrawn, and then he will encounter the so-called "rookie wall".

The smile on Thurmond's face suddenly froze. He held the towel tightly with both hands, quickly saved it into a rotten rag, and took a deep breath and said, "You know, Mother Bear, I will not work in the Warriors again, any position."

Only then did Chamberlain realize the reason why Winnie brought her here. It turned out to be a teacher for herself. You should know that the best trainers in the NBA are these genius superstars. Only they know themselves best and how to shape a player similar to themselves. However, most stars have a lot of savings and live a carefree life. Why do they have time to be trainers when they are idle? Thankless!

Winnie shook her stubborn ponytail and said angrily: "What's this? You've already worked for the Warriors, you're a basketball community worker for the team."

Thurmond had a bad temper on the court, and even Wilt Chamberlain was scared when he saw him. Barkley was lucky and didn't have the same era as him, otherwise he and Rodman, the big insect, would have been packed into dough. However, he had a good temper off the court.

With a generous smile, Thurmond touched Winnie's head and said, "You know the reason, that's because the president of the Warriors' Community Basketball Association is the boss!"

Eddy Gottlieb will always be the boss of the Warriors.

Winnie shook her head and shook Thurmond's big hand. Chamberlain noticed that her little hand was clenched into a fist, as if she was going to beat Thurmond, which scared him a little. Why is this girl so violent? He was thinking that if the fight really started, should he help, should he help or should he help?

But Winnie was not as impulsive as he imagined. She pulled Thurmond's thick arm and said, "Why is your fast food restaurant called the Veterans Hotel? Isn't it because of MacArthur's words 'Veterans will never die and will wither'? Didn't you ever think about standing on the court again and fighting with your opponent in the middle of the night? Nate, you can no longer step onto the court, but you can create a second you - or someone who can surpass you to do all this!"

Thurmond's thick lips squirmed twice. What he wanted to say, Winnie didn't give him a chance, and continued to say excitedly: "Also, let's see what the league is like now? BULL-SHIT! A group of soft girls castrated Turkeys in the inside line! What will happen to the center in the league? Isn't it because you old men are inaction? You are just recalling your past glory, but never thought about how to copy this glory!"

Thurmond sat in a chair and looked at Chamberlain, who smiled and stared at him fearlessly, with a calm look in his eyes.

"Let me think about it." Thurmond sighed, "I want to study this kid. If he is not a material that can be made, I will never train him. It would be useless to persuade me even if the boss is going to persuade me! I don't want to give me such a little reputation, and I will lose it because of this kid."

After receiving this reply, Winnie immediately took Chamberlain away, and Thurmond shouted from behind, "Stay for a meal-hey Winnie, can't you stay and chat with me for a while?"

Except for the serious business, Winnie was so proud of her words. She didn't breathe until she got into the car and sighed: "Okay, I'll get one, and there's another."

Chamberlain didn't understand what Winni's next sentence meant, another one? Could it be that Winnie would hire him another teacher? Which aspect of training him? Which super king is he?

Thinking of this, Chamberlain felt more and more itchy. He asked Winnie, but the latter didn't say anything. But every time he asked, Winnie increased the speed of the car ten kilometers per hour until Chamberlain was silent and did not dare to speak again.

Old Nelson is right. Winnie is indeed a better trainer than Eaton Lavender. Because of the different resources of the two, Winnie can use Gottlieb to invite any superstar in the league, even Jordan, to guide Chamberlain, but Lavender cannot do this.

Instead of taking Chamberlain to find anyone, Winnie returned to the training hall step by step to continue her devil training.

What Chamberlain has been doing now is training in toughness and flexibility. Winnie is to enable him to have a powerful attack technology with strong lethality in the shortest time - countercut, and retreat to catch the ball and dunk at the basket.

At five o'clock in the afternoon, Chamberlain went to wash up, and he wanted to invite Winnie and Li Qun to dinner in the evening.

"Improve your emotional intelligence." Winnie said expressionlessly after hearing his invitation. "If I were Li Qun, I would definitely hope that the first meal I had to be alone with my lover, rather than bringing a light bulb."

Chamberlain also wanted to do this, mainly because Winnie's light bulb was too bright, so bright that it could reveal every flaw in most women in the world.

But could he do this? One of the purposes of this dinner was to thank Winnie for helping him move. Besides, Winnie suffered a lot these days to help him train, but she never complained. Moreover, Winnie helped him find a trainer like Nate Thurmond this morning.

Although I don’t know why Winnie has always paid so much for him, there is one thing that Chamberlain knows very well, that is, he owe Winnie a lot.

One thing that is more exciting is that when Chamberlain brought Li Qun and Winnie into the cliff house, he became a well-deserved male focus. The reason is naturally because the two beauties he carried were either elegant or sexy. No matter where he was placed, Li Qun and Winnie were both killers of men's eyes.

Cliff House is one of the top restaurants in San Francisco. Those who can come here to eat are either rich or noble. There are many stars in the sports circle. A fledgling character like Chamberlain is impossible to cause a sensation in such a place. Except for children who will come to him for an autograph, others nodded politely at most to say hello.

The dinner combination of a man and two women was really embarrassing, especially Li Qun and Winnie didn't talk. Each of them ordered a glass of yogurt and were silently playing with their phones. No one cared about Chamberlain. Chamberlain drank a drink and racked his brains to find a topic to open up the gap between the three.

As a result, Chamberlain didn't play with his phone, and his phone suddenly started to scream. His voice was extremely shrill. 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 enjoy life. The atmosphere is quiet. Unless it is a festival to celebrate, the laughter of children and the voices of adults are very low, which is a real whisper. Most people will mute or vibrate their phones before having a meal, just like having a meeting.

The sound of Chamberlain's copycat phone is no less loud than a car speaker - he has adjusted it to the highest tone. There is no way, no matter whether it is on the court or the training ground, the noise is very loud, and the ringtone of the mobile phone is too small and you can't hear it at all.

The caller ID is called a strange number. If you were talking to Li Qun and Winnie, Chamberlain would definitely hang up directly. Now he is making a fart call? The problem is that the atmosphere is now awkward, and almost everyone is watching him. Chamberlain must find a way to break the awkward atmosphere. There is no doubt that this call is a good choice.

So Chamberlain took the call, and he had already made plans. Even if the person on the other end of the phone just said something irrelevant, he must be shocked. Doing so is to tell those guests who are dissatisfied with seeing him. I have something important now. You can't turn the phone down, otherwise what if you miss the phone and get out of trouble?

As a result, the phone was connected, and he didn't have to pretend. The news came also shocked him: "Mr. Z, save me, please save me, my father sold me to a client, and he was outside the door, save me..."
