Chapter 204: First Meeting Iverson (Ask for Subscription!) Ask for a commuter pass! )
The SuperSonics vs. 76ers game caught the eyes of all fans across the country, all looking forward to seeing Lu Fei vs. Iverson on this sunny morning.
However, this game is a very tricky thing, because the time of the game is Monday morning.
"Lao Lu, why didn't you go to work again?" Lu Fei's mother waited in front of the TV for the start of the game, and when she turned around, she saw Lu Fei's father who opened the door and walked in.
"I've taken sick leave, I have to come back to watch the game......" Lu Fei's father said helplessly.
In fact, the number of supersonic games may not be broadcast once a week, so when he encounters Lu Fei's games, he will still find a reason to go home and watch the games with Lu Fei's mother.
"Got another headache?" Lu Fei's mother pouted.
"How can you?" Lu Fei's father raised the fake note in his hand: "This time I changed it to a stomachache, go back and ask Lu Fei and his aunt to help open a hospital note, don't forget...... Has the game started? ”
"Not yet...... Lu Fei's mother said.
"Haven't started yet? It's really slow enough, and I don't know if Lu Feibang helped me ask for Iverson's autograph, so I guess he won't be able to receive it when I call......"
Lu Fei's father changed his shoes and sat next to Lu Fei's mother, and when he saw Xu Jicheng and Yu Jia chatting on TV, he didn't cut the camera to the game scene.
Fans don't want to hear their pre-match analysis at all, okay?
"Spectators and friends can choose to send SMS to the 100669999086, support the home team to edit the SMS to send 1, support the away team to edit the SMS to send 0, we will draw a lucky audience to get a basketball gift package in each game, the game is over, there are five lucky spectators to get star boots and an autographed jersey ......"
Yu Jia spoke very quickly about the choice of support for the two teams.
A few minutes later, the backstage technical statisticians found an unprecedented difference from the previous broadcast of supersonic games, in the past, almost 95% of fans would choose to support the supersonic team, but this time the proportion of fans supporting the 76ers reached 40%, which is a staggering number.
Yu Jia also received the information about this data from the director, and couldn't help laughing: "It seems that Iverson has a lot of weight in the hearts of Chinese fans, and it is the first time that many fans support the supersonic opponent team." ”
Xu Jicheng said: "I guess many fans think like this, 'SuperSonics have won so many games, it's nothing to lose one', it's not easy for Iverson to win one, and there are indeed many fans who like Iverson in China, so this situation will occur." ”
There are indeed a lot of fans who like Iverson in China, Iverson with his height of 1.83 meters, well, it is said to be 183 cm, became the top pick in the NBA, a place full of giants, and won the best rookie, scoring champion, steal king, regular season MVP, All-Star Game MVP, and reached the finals, which let ordinary people know that they can play basketball well if they are not tall enough.
As the broadcast camera switched, the attention of all the fans was drawn to the supersonic key arena.
Lu Fei was doing a simple pre-game warm-up, the staff handed him the ball, he dribbled and shot after receiving the ball, and the same action was repeated dozens of times, he needed to adjust the most perfect muscle memory before the game.
"Lu! Let me introduce you, this is Aaron Iverson" Ray Allen's voice came from behind him, Lu Fei glanced back, and happened to see Alan Iverson with dirty pigtails standing next to Ray Allen.
"Hello, Lu, nice to meet you." Aaron Iverson held out his hand.
The first thing Iverson noticed was his eyes, the eyes were very bright, especially when they looked at him, they could clearly feel the emotions he conveyed, he had the familiar Chinese character 'loyalty' on his neck, and there were all kinds of tattoos on his arms and calves.
Ray Allen and Iverson were both drafted into the NBA in '96, and they were both bright backcourt players in the NCAA, and the two played from the NCAA to the NBA, and they also had a good relationship.
96 is a big year for the NBA draft in the past few years, and there are many stars, including Ray Allen and Iverson, as well as Kobe, Marbury, Nash, Fisher, Camby, Dampier, Big Z, O'Neal Jr., Big Ben, Peja and other star players, which is a draft with a very high success rate.
Robinson, the big dog, saw Iverson and Ray Allen greeting each other, and his face was very ugly.
After Iverson and Ray Allen said hello, they saw Lu Fei who was training shooting on the side, because of his special appearance, Iverson recognized at first glance that this was Lu Fei, a hot rookie in the league.
Lu Fei smiled, stepped forward and shook Iverson's hand: "Hello Allen, I like to watch you play, I used to watch your games in China." ”
"I've seen your game footage and you're playing great." Iverson's deep voice sounded comfortable: "I hope you can play at a level today, I'm looking forward to playing against you." ”
"Me too." Lu Fei laughed and said, "That's right...... Is it okay to sign me after the competition? I have a friend who has been asking for your autograph. ”
It's really a friendship out of nowhere......
"Signed?" Iverson was stunned, then said: "If you can play a satisfactory performance in this game, I will consider ......"
Don't you know that it baffles me that you say such things?
What does it mean to play a satisfying performance?
I don't know what the standard of your satisfaction is!
Since when has it become so hard to get a signature......
Because the game was about to start, Lei Allen patted Lu Fei's shoulder sympathetically, and his eyes seemed to be full of pity.
Lu Fei suddenly felt a little toothache, because he knew too well the pain of playing against Iverson.
Tony Parker once said, "I'd rather defend O'Neill than Iverson......"
In any case, countless viewers are looking forward to the upcoming showdown between Lu Fei and Iverson.
With the sensational shouting of the MC on the spot, the starters of both sides stood on the court, and the referees in charge of the game were also in place, and the game was about to start.
The starting lineup of the SuperSonics is still:
Center: Memet Oku.
Power forward: Rasheed Wallace
Small forward: Sean Battier
Shooting guard: Ray Allen
Organizational defender: Lu Fei
This is basically a regular starting lineup for the SuperSonics, and because the starters don't play long in each game, the roster has fewer injury problems than other teams, and the lineup is more complete.
This is one of the main reasons why the SuperSonics can maintain the third record in the West.
The starting lineup for the 76ers is:
Centre-forward: Samuel Daimpoter
Power forward: Kenny Thomas
Small forward: Glenn Robinson
Shooting guard: Eric Snow
Defender: Allen Iverson
Lu Fei looked at Iverson who was standing opposite and was wearing the No. 3 black jersey, at this time, Iverson's eyes no longer had the peace when chatting with Lu Fei before the game, only the occasional resolute gaze under the reflection of the flashing lights, Iverson who entered the game was like going to the battlefield, without fear.
The referee threw the ball into the air, and Lu Fei quickly gathered his mind, and the game began.
