Chapter Forty-Seven: Iverson Under Princeton!
“WOW! Aaron chops 30+ again! ”
"Won 30+ in three games in a row! The champion of the '96 Golden Generation is in his second season, and the city of Philadelphia has found their savior! ”
"Under Adelman's Princeton system, Iverson, Odom, and Starkerhouse are playing like a fish in water! That's the best system for the 76ers! Their offensive is unstoppable! ”
Iverson's three-point average has improved from last year's 2-of-6 shooting per game to 2.7 of 8-of-8 shooting per game this year! His three-point average is second only to Kobe's 2.9 and Reggie Miller's 2.8 points per game! ”
"Iverson's offensive efficiency under the basket is also very high, and it's hard to imagine a 1.83-meter man who can shoot 64 percent from the field and make 7.2 free throws per game." "Three-pointers and breakouts have become Iverson's main offensive methods. His breakaway shot is also an indispensable tactic for the 76ers. ”
"Under Adelman's system, Iverson has become a top-tier attacker who can score from almost any angle."
"Averaged 26.3 points, 4.1 rebounds, 5.5 assists, 2.1 steals, 0.3 blocks, and 3.5 turnovers per game! That's close to the level of a superstar. ”
"The current 76ers are 7-5! Ranked eighth in the East. From last year's belly to the playoffs! ”
The Lakers came to Philadelphia and Bryant watched the 76ers' last few games on the plane.
It was a good game, the offense was tight and organized, Odom was the offense initiator, Iverson was the finisher plus the second offense initiator, and Starkerhouse was off the ball.
Coupled with Derrick Coleman's inflexible performance on the inside, and Clarence Witherspoon, a very physical wing with the 9th pick in '92, the 76ers performed very well.
In Bryant's view, the 76ers still have room to rise. They only learned a little bit about Princeton in a short period of time, and as the season progresses, the 76ers, who are more and more skilled in tactics, should end up performing better than the Celtics.
As a youth team, the 76ers' defense is better than that of the Celtics, and the offense will become stronger with the tactical run-in, and Iverson's ability to take over at critical moments makes this 76ers not to be underestimated.
"Hey, boss. Welcome back to Philadelphia. Odom gave Kobe a big hug.
"Lama, you've been doing great lately." Bryant hugged Odom passionately and slapped him the back. Looking at Odom's enthusiastic expression, you know that he has a good life with Iverson, a very wealthy boss, because of his lack of love.
"That's it, so." Odom shyly touched the back of his head.
"Lamar, don't be modest." Pelinka also greeted Odom with a grin, and Odom also signed Pelinka as an agent. At the same time, Mamba Sports is also preparing a sneaker contract for Odom, the left-handed magician.
Of course, Kobe Bryant is well aware of Odom's urine, and the contract he prepares is a reward mechanism. After entering the All-Star, averaging 20 points per game, rebounding double-doubles, assists and other conditions, you can receive the corresponding salary.
This is the character that stimulates Odom to get by with what happens, and he can't let Odom start indulging in spending money after making money.
It takes countless days and nights to become stronger, but it only takes a moment to fall.
"All right, Ramal. Go back and rest, and see you tomorrow. Odom mingled with the Lakers players from a familiar point in his life, and his warm smile made everyone feel kind to him.
"Okay, see you tomorrow, I'll do my best."
"I'm looking forward to it." Kobe Bryant raised the corners of his mouth.
...
Before the game, Bryant returned to his home in Philadelphia.
chatted with Joe Sr. and Mom, and then took the family to the 76ers' home arena.
Joe Sr. is currently a coach at Raulmayne High School, but he has already given up his resignation.
With the fire at Mamba Academy in the summer, basketball fans across the United States are aware of such a training camp. And Kobe Bryant also intends to let Old Joe serve as the head of Mamba Academy at the elementary and junior high school levels.
Raulmayne High School is ranked 185th among public high schools in the United States and is not known for basketball. The talent that can be recruited here every year is very limited, and the team's poor record in the past two years after Kobe Bryant's departure has also made Old Joe plan to resign.
"Old Joe, why don't you go to CN?" Kobe Bryant teased, Lao Qiao, a guy who can speak well, seems to be a good choice to go to Huaguo to mingle. China's Mamba Academy Zhang Weiping is being built, but because of the lack of heavyweight coaches, it seems to be mediocre.
"Is there anyone there who can play?" Old Joe dismisses it, and that's what most black Americans think about other countries, and they think that there is no place where people are good at playing basketball except in the United States.
This is also the same mentality as Chinese table tennis coaches.
"If you go, you'll have it." Kobe brouted.
"That's true, let's wait until I resign!" Kobe's sycophant slapped Old Joe's heart!
...

"Kobe, this game, one to one?" Iverson put on a headband and elbow pads. Except that the ditch has not yet been made, it is quite close to the answer of later generations. is 1.83 meters tall, but he has the mentality of standing up to the sky.
"Oh? Than what? "Kobe Bryant came to be interested.
"Compare who has the higher score." Iverson tugged at his headband and looked at Bryant with a sinister gaze.
Iverson this season, has this qualification to challenge Kobe! He felt his own growth, and under Princeton's system, he was the best scorer!
It's time to decide the winner!
