Chapter 307: Fate! Battle of Philadelphia
Familiar city, familiar people, unfamiliar is the posters here, the clothes worn by the fans here, of course, looking around, there are also many people wearing Iverson's No. 3 fan a few years ago, but this place is very strange to Iverson at this time.
The Cavaliers have arrived in Philadelphia, and Iverson couldn't help but cry when he saw the eye-catching sign on a basketball store.
"In the process of struggle, I learned how to play. I think that's all there is to being a professional. You understand that you can't play well every night, but if you keep fighting, good things will come. This sentence used to be Iverson's classic quotation and was also recited by countless people, but after so many years, Iverson can still be seen in Philadelphia, which shows that Iverson still has a certain position in the hearts of many 7 Philadelphia fans, and for a player, this is enough.
In 09, Iverson signed a non-guaranteed contract with the 76ers, and Iverson, who returned to the 76ers, touched countless people, but then because of the relationship between injury and his daughter, he had to miss the rest of the game, which also made countless Iverson fans sigh, but at this time, Iverson's life is more fulfilling than before, the team is stronger, and there are more chances to win the championship. This time, I must get the championship ring, I'm Iverson, and I only have this honor left in my life.
"Alright, Aaron, tonight's game, I'm sure you're in a different mood than before." Garnett can quite understand Iverson's feelings, and Garnett has seen a lot of this kind of thing when he entered the NBA a year earlier.
"Yes." Iverson nodded, the game, tonight must be more different, but at this time, there are not many of my former companions here.
During the day, Huang Xiang and his colleagues followed Iverson around Philadelphia, where Iverson introduced what he knew and some interesting things one by one, and at 4 o'clock in the afternoon, everyone returned to the hotel.
"It seems that the evening should be a good performance for Aaron, not only to find the form he once was, but also to express what he has achieved here in the past." Garnett looked at Huang Xiang beside him and said, the two live in the same room, and the hotel where the Cavaliers stay is a suite for two people, don't think that these two people are cheap, very expensive, and have all the appliances.
"Ahem, hey, Kevin, you mean I get a little less at night, am I the kind of person who cares about data?" Huang Xiang glanced at Garnett, this guy actually thinks of me like this, of course, Huang Xiang's words are full of jokes, even if he says this, he will not be angry.
"Hehe, it's good that you understand, you don't like to score yet? Our Scoring Champion. Garnett grinned, and the only small white white tooth on his body showed a large patch, not to mention, his complexion was extremely dark.
"Damn, I was careless in making friends." Huang Xiang sighed and ignored Garnett and walked to O'Neill's room, if the expectation was good, this guy must be playing video games.
As Huang Xiang thought, O'Neill played NBA2K11 alone with the handle, Huang Xiang was not polite, picked up another handle and adjusted the mode, and he also joined the battle, but.
Huang Xiang has been playing this game since he was in high school, but compared to O'Neal, who has been playing for more than ten years, it is still a lot worse, but it is not much behind.
The match between the two slowly attracted the attention of other teammates, no way, it was really boring, I could only watch these two guys play, and coincidentally, it was the Cavaliers vs. the 76ers at this time.
It happened to be a live version of the game at night, but O'Neal seemed to have improved his attributes a lot, and he often relied on him alone for crazy scoring. (To explain, the NBA2K series can make its own substitutions, and the duo turned the lineup into the current lineup)
In the end, Huang Xiang still didn't take the score into his own hands, don't look at Huang Xiang's infinite scenery on the field, but at this time, there is no role of Huang Xiang in the Cavaliers lineup, and it is estimated that O'Neal will not replace him if there is.
In the end, O'Neal defeated Huang Xiang, the Cavaliers won, and O'Neal, who won the victory, looked at Huang Xiang he, boy, lose.
"Huang Xiang, treat me at night." O'Neill put his arm around Huang Xiang's shoulders and smiled, Good boy, come over by yourself.
"Damn, why?" Huang Xiang jumped so high that he threw O'Neill's shoulders away, these guys, since they had eaten Chinese food, they no longer liked bread and milk, they often aimed at their father's flyHX, and most importantly, they didn't give them even if they asked for money.
"Why? Hehe, you lost, so treat, stop, don't look at me like this, I didn't look for you, you came to play with me by yourself, you asked for it, right, brothers. Seeing that Huang Xiang's eyes were becoming more and more fierce, O'Neal began to ask for the opinions of his teammates in fear, and Garnett and the others certainly would not let go of this opportunity, and they all screamed after hearing it.
I don't care about the money, but ...... But...... That's also a loss, isn't it?
"Okok, when we go home, but in this game, I need you to give the victory to our Aaron, who wants to come back, today, let's celebrate Aaron."? Huang Xiang then said that I was very generous, I didn't care, I stuck a knife in my brother's ribs...... look, but before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted.
"Stop, stop, stop." Iverson walked to Huang Xiang's side, and then looked at Huang Xiang with a serious face, with his eyes, many people also stopped making noise, could it be that Huang Xiang's words just now stimulated Iverson? Stimulated his tenacious heart?
"Aaron" Huang Xiang scratched his head and said a little embarrassed.
"Yellow, I mean...... If you're celebrating my return, treat me a few more times. Iverson couldn't bear it in the end, haha laughed, and with Iverson's laughter, everyone put down their hanging hearts, fortunately, not angry.
"Hey, what are you doing here?" Garnett looked at Williams beside him and asked suspiciously, this guy was clutching his sleeves with both hands at this time, as if he was very nervous.
"It's okay, okay, well, ahem" Williams suddenly loosened Garnett's clothes and smiled wryly, this guy just thought that Iverson and Huang Xiang would have an emotional outbreak, but fortunately it didn't happen, but it was not good to be misunderstood by them because of this.
Everyone looked at Williams suspiciously, but after such a long time together, they still didn't think about him, and Williams was also relieved, okay, okay.
Joyful smiles hung on everyone's faces, and they were still in the midst of joyful laughter until the evening, before the game.
At 7 p.m., Wakvia Arena in Philadelphia was already full, presumably for the first time since the playoffs a few years ago.
"Do you hear the voices outside? Hehe, I guess I'm still here for Xiao Ai today. O'Neill smiled, here, the most powerful person to say is undoubtedly O'Fat Man.
"Forget it, I know you all want me to score 10 points, a dozen rebounds, a dozen assists, a dozen steals, a dozen blocks, and a super five-double, right?" Iverson rolled his eyes, these guys, it's so naïve, where do I have such a body and energy, my body is a burden at this time.
"Haha, you know, hehe......" Garnett also laughed after hearing this, it seems that Iverson has long known about the matter discussed by several people.
"Okay, okay, don't stink, prepare for the game, come here, I'll lay out the tactics." Scott came in and then gathered everyone together to lay out today's tactics, and at 7:40, all 12 players of the Cavaliers entered the court to start today's battle with the 76ers.
The 76ers have played against the Cavaliers this season, but at that time it was on the Cavaliers' home court, which is completely different from here.
"Huh" Iverson stood at the back today, Huang Xiang was the first to enter the arena, followed by Carter, and today Huang Xiang played Iverson's previous role.
After one by one, only Iverson remained, and the whole stadium quieted down, although Iverson was the opponent's player, but nearly half of the people in the stadium were still Iverson's former fans, no, it should be basically everyone, they were Iverson fans before, but later, because of Iverson's departure, some people didn't like him anymore.
Iverson trotted in, no cheers, no boos, and although Iverson came here more than once, this time, it was obviously very different from before.
High-fives with teammates one by one, the warm-up began, and when the game started, everyone was nervous, of course, referring to the fans, the opponent was strong, and the strength of their own team ...... Although Iverson was the first to look at, at this time, it should be his own team that is worried.
The referee's whistle sounded, and the game began, first introducing the lineups of both sides.
The Cavaliers have changed into the old lineup, point guard Iverson, scoring guard Huang Xiang, small forward Jones, power forward Garnett, and center Howard.
76ers point guard Luis, scoring guard Kevin Brown. Martin, small forward Nocioni, power forward Brand, center Speights.
The lineups of the two sides are not at the same level on the surface, but this does not mean that the 76ers are not strong, you must know that the combination of Martin and Brand still has a certain power.
The Rockets made a trade with the 76ers at the beginning of the season, Iguodala traded Martin, and neither of them performed well when they arrived at their new owners, but there was little reaction for fans on both sides.
Martin glanced at the Cavaliers lineup, then the two sides took their positions and the game began.
(There's another chapter in the evening, haha, it's cool today.) )
