Chapter 316: The Emperor and the King of New York

Iverson was very angry when he saw that the opponent's ace Garnett did not play, but the team kept falling behind, and at the beginning of the second half, he turned on the singles mode.

Charlie Ward chased after the defense, resolutely refused to let Iverson score easily, and Big Ben also helped defend in time on the inside, and slapped Iverson's ball twice!

Iverson did not believe in evil and continued to fight.

If Garnett fanned his ball, he could still balance a little in his heart, after all, he was the champion, Garnett's No. 5 pick, he was the first team in the league, Garnett was the third team, and the gap between the two was not very big.

But Ben Wallace, why are you bullying me as a substitute with a meager salary, a draft loser?

If I don't blow you up, that's really a loss for the title of the top scorer!

Larry Brown frowned when he saw that Iverson seemed to be in hot blood. But the team's offense is indeed Iverson's shoulder, and he can't stop the opponent!

"It's messy, maybe he can really win in chaos!" Brown thought to himself.

It's a pity that Iverson doesn't feel good today, plus Charlie Ward and Big Ben, Big Bo and others are surrounded and suppressed together, he has repeatedly struck iron!

Iverson has always been iron, and the 76ers' days are even more difficult, and they actually fell behind by 20 points when the quarter was fast!

Larry Brown replaced Iverson and told him to rest and sober up.

But Iverson didn't appreciate it, and yelled at Brown with words like "why replace me" and "I have to be on the field to help the team".

Larry Brown ignored him and didn't get him back on the court until two minutes into the fourth quarter.

Back again, Iverson picked up and helped the 76ers recover some scores, but as time went on, the chances of winning became less and less likely.

When the final whistle blew, the score was fixed at 86:97, and the Knicks won the first home court, and the score became 3:0!

The fans at Madison Square Garden were thrilled to see the team win, and cheered in unison, "Emperor, Li Wei, Emperor, Li Wei!" ”

Li Wei saw that everyone was too enthusiastic, and after walking to the center of the field and hugging the players, he greeted the audience with a fist!

It's so embarrassing, I obviously want to lose the game and win!

Tomorrow's newspaper is going to blow him to the sky!

On the other side of the world, Director Zhang sighed: "I really didn't expect that after returning to the home court, Coach Li used a magical change of formation, and even Garnett and Da Yao didn't play, but led the team to win a game!" ”

Teacher Song said: "It's really like a god with soldiers, and the canopy is wiped out when talking and laughing!" ”

Zhang guided: "After the Knicks win this game, they are only one game away from qualifying for the division semifinals!" It's really not easy for the eighth-place team to get to this point! ”

Teacher Song said: "If nothing else, they will definitely reach the Eastern Conference Finals!" ”

Chinese viewers can only be secretly surprised to see that Li Wei sent a few substitute starters and actually won.

Isn't this Coach Li rigid-minded and inflexible? How did you suddenly become so godly?

Could it be that when people love their country, their brains will also become better?

For the 76ers, Eric Snow scored 16 points and 9 assists on 6-of-11 shooting, and Matt Geiger scored 11 points on 5-of-11 shooting, with a miraculous 0 rebounds!

Ratliff had 10 points, 8 rebounds, 3 steals and 2 blocks, while Allen Iverson was 13-of-33 shooting, scoring 32 points alone, but unfortunately the shooting rate was only 39 percent, almost catching up with Billups, who had a big heart.

On the Knicks' side, Alan Houston scored 29 points, Nowitzki scored a career-high 22 points, and Nash came off the bench to score 11 points and 10 assists.

The Knicks' most notable player in this game is not Houston or Nowitzki, but Ben Wallace. He started a rare start, scored a double-double of 10 points and 18 rebounds, and also handed out 6 blocks!

After the game, Li Wei praised Ben Wallace: "I heard my daughter and a lot of fans shouting the emperor together, I was very happy, but. We owe more thanks to the new King of New York, Ben Wallace! ”

"Hahaha!" The reporters burst into laughter.

Ben Wallace wore the No. 30 jersey when he was on the Bullets (Wizards) team, but he didn't dare to wear this number when he arrived at the Knicks, because although the Knicks' No. 30 was not retired, it was the number of the famous Bernard King!

Bernard King is very good at scoring, and in the '84 playoffs, the New York Knicks led by Hubie Brown ranked fifth in the East and faced the Pistons in the fourth place in the East in the first round. In the first four games of the series, Bernard King averaged 42 points per game and tied the score at 2:2. In the fifth game of life and death, he scored 40 points alone, but Chuck Daly commanded the team to pull back six points in the fourth quarter, and the two sides went into overtime.

Bernard King was dislocated at the time, the ring finger and middle finger of both hands were tied together, and he also had the flu, Knicks coach Huby Brown decided to let the other players perform the final shot, but Bernard King did not agree, he must take over the ball, and finally lead the team to win!

He scored 44 points on 17-of-26 shooting, in addition to grabbing 12 rebounds!

In the second round, the Knicks met the Boston Celtics, who were the league's No. 1 that year and later won the championship. Bernard King averaged 30+ per game and led the team until the seventh game before losing regrettably.

In the following 84-85 season, Bernard King led the scoring list all the way, and in the much-anticipated Christmas game in 84, he scored a team-high 60 points by himself, and the fans in New York were very excited, and unanimously called him "the king of New York".

Bernard King's "gold" is "king" in English, which translates to "king".

Unfortunately, the Kings of New York were not able to lead New York to the top of the king, and at the end of that year's season, Bernard King suffered a major injury and completely torn the anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee, and he was unable to play for two full seasons.

While King was recuperating from his injury, the New Yorkers welcomed their new core, the much-anticipated talent Patrick Ewing. A generation of kings finally left the team lonely and signed with Washington Bullets.

After a major injury, Bernard King no longer had the speed and explosiveness of his past, and had to change his style of play, and in the 90-91 season, he averaged 28 points per game, third on the scoring list, behind Jordan and Karl Malone, and was selected as an All-Star. Due to Bird's injury that year, he also mixed an All-Star starter.

It is worth mentioning that Jordan played a total of 13 seasons with the Bulls, two of which only played a dozen games due to injury and retirement, and in the remaining 11 seasons, he won 10 scoring titles, and the only season that did not win the scoring title was Bernard King's last peak season in New York, and the scoring champion belonged to the King of New York.

Of course, it was just Jordan's rookie year, and the rookie Jordan averaged 28.2 points per game and was third on the scoring list, followed by Bird at 28.7 and Bernard King with 32.9.

Later, Jordan soared into the sky, but Bernard King fell due to injury, and the two leading scorers finally failed to compete at their peak, which is sad and lamentable.

Li Wei actually wanted Big Ben to wear the No. 3 jersey, but No. 3 was worn by Bruce Bowen first, so he said: "Big Ben, or you wear No. 33?" ”

Big Ben was so frightened that he shivered at the time: "You spare me!" ”

The number 33 of the Knicks, is the number of Gorilla Ewing!

Later, Li Wei still encouraged Big Ben to continue to wear No. 30, don't be afraid, the media saw that Big Ben dared to wear No. 30, and immediately gave him a nickname - the King of New York!

Bernard King was once the scoring champion and brought countless glory to New York, Big Ben couldn't score, he could only defend, but because he wore the number of the famous Bernard King, he was named the king of New York by the media, which is obviously a sarcasm.

Now that Big Ben grabbed 18 rebounds and sent 6 blocks to help the New York team win, everyone knows that Li Wei mentions this nickname again, no longer a sarcasm, but a praise!

Li Weidao: "The king of New York doesn't have to score, the big instinct can grab rebounds, can block, can rule the court, and can also become the undisputed king!" King of New York, accept everyone's applause! ”

The reporter handed the microphone to Ben Wallace.

Big Ben scratched his head and smirked: "Hehe, today we won, everyone is a king, but David is the emperor who manages all the kings!" ”

On the Knicks' side, the king and the emperor wore each other's high hats and wore each other happily, but the 76ers were gloomy and miserable!

"Coach Brown, Coach Lee said that you had the opportunity to coach the current Knicks, but unfortunately you refused, is there such a thing?" The reporter asked.

Larry Brown said: "We did have a conflicting philosophy for the team, so I didn't accept an offer from New York. ”

The reporter said: "Coach Brown, the 76ers are about to be eliminated by the Knicks, do you regret your choice?" ”

Larry Brown frowned: "The series is not over yet, the 76ers have not been eliminated, it is too early to talk about this kind of topic!" ”

The New York Post reporter said: "Coach Brown, so far in the NBA, no team has been able to turn the tables after falling behind 0:3, the Knicks beat you with a bench today, and Garnett and others will return tomorrow, do you still have any hope of winning?" ”

Larry Brown's face went black.

The reporter is right, so far, the NBA has never had a precedent for a 0:3 comeback. Then again, if a team is really strong, how can it be beaten to 0:3?

You must know that after 2:0, the referee will definitely take care of one!

What's worse is that the next games are back-to-back, the players have to continue playing before they have time to rest, Garnett and Da Yao on the Knicks' side have been resting, and they have enough physical strength, but the 76ers players are all tired!

Hell if you can win!
