Chapter 078: Iverson and his 76ers
Not to mention what kind of lively scene it is for the American media and major domestic websites to report on Liang Xiao, Liang Xiao continued his training in the stadium. Hearing Sprewell say to himself that he won the Eastern Conference Rookie of the Week, Liang Xiao had a little fun in his heart, and immediately rolled over like a wave in the river, paving this little excitement. Because Liang Xiao is not a stunned young man, he came here ten years ago, he knows too many people like him now, and finally disappeared.
Wang Dazhi, when he began to land in the NBA, domestic fans pursued him vigorously, but later, his performance in the NBA could only be described as garbage or soy sauce, which disappointed domestic fans, and as a result, he was too lazy to scold later. and Sun Yue got a championship ring with the Lakers, which was purely treated as a joke by the fans, Karl Malone fought all his life but didn't get a ring, which is as ridiculous as killing a pig without meat. Yi Jianlian was also criticized by the fans for being incomplete, with ups and downs in the league, his scoring ability constantly worn out over the years, his style of play was weak, and he had no murderous spirit and perseverance, so that in the end, it was just a decoration, and any team that wanted to sign him was looking at the large market in China behind him.
However, there is another successful one, Da Yao, Da Yao's professionalism and diligence are beyond the reach of the previous few people. Arriving at the stadium for training at the earliest time every day, he has no arrogant look and arrogant thoughts, his light-hearted and humorous style and easy-going personality are very popular in the United States or in China, and he is a very wise person, although he has not studied in college, but he has a high understanding of the university in society.
Liang Xiao knew that what he wanted to be on was on this road. Chinese have always been stick killing and killing, these two roads torture how many young talents, Liang Xiao does not want to capsize in the gutter. Although he came to this world with the memories of his previous life, he knew too well that there were many capable people in this world, and it was far from something that a young man who came here from his previous life could easily fight. Speaking of domestic fans, they are very harsh, in their previous life was to watch the rocket game, there are Yao Mi Yao Hei and the like, the Chinese are the best at infighting and rushing up to drown Liang Xiao.
Liang Xiao has added all the talent points he has gained from the competition and training these days, and he has made a big step forward, but Liang Xiao is still far from the overall D+ level, and he knows his flaws in these problems, and he can't develop better and faster, but it's only a matter of time. The most important thing now is to grasp the training of several skills that you use, which is what you need most now.
Tomorrow night's next game is the Knicks vs. the Philadelphia 76ers, and this game at home will be a big challenge for the Knicks. Because everyone knows the Iverson of the Philadelphia 76ers, the 76ers with Iverson are definitely a strong and difficult team to beat.
If you're a guy who doesn't know anything about basketball and says "Flyer," you'll know he's Jordan; If you're a fan and say "answer", if you don't know who he is, if you're not stupid, you can only despise you.
Every NBA player may have a memory or special meaning for everyone. The "answer" Iverson is also for every fan. He is the collective memory of a generation of basketball fans, and in the 96 golden generation, Iverson was selected as the top pick in the 76ers with a height of 183cm, which set a record in NBA history, the shortest championship, and is also creating a period of glory.
Everyone has a dream, as Martin Luther King Jr. said, "ih**eadream!" "It's just that everyone's dream is different, for the stars who grew up in a racist ghetto in Virginia, they always fly on the NBA court with unparalleled talent and unruly attitude, just like elves.
For Liang Xiao, Iverson is also one of his idols, with independent personality, elegant and gorgeous ball style, and tenacious and high fighting spirit. The body of 1.83 meters contains huge energy, and it is the vane in the hearts of every fan who is not tall enough. The beautiful butterfly flower step is a gorgeous dance in dribbling, and Liang Xiao is also very yearning for this stunt.
It will be difficult for the Knicks to win this game, although the 76ers who want to be in the decline, but with the leadership of Larry Brown and Iverson as the mainstay, it is impossible to win easily. The 76ers, as a veteran powerhouse in the NBA, are full of stars in the history of this team, Moses Malone, "Dr. J" Julius Irving, Charles Barkley, etc., all of whom have led the 76ers to a storm in the league, and now Allen Iverson has not let the 76ers' reputation fall.
After Iverson joined the 76ers, he reached the top of the 00-01 season at the same time as the team, and Larry Brown led the 76ers to a ten-game winning streak at the start of the season and entered the playoffs as the top seed in the East. However, in the finals, they lost to the Lakers team with Kobe Bryant and O'Neal.
Although they came home in the end, this season's 76ers are the most talked about season by fans. Iverson averaged 31.1 points, 3.8 rebounds, 4.6 assists, 2.5 steals and 0.3 blocks per game this season to win the league's MVP, and won the scoring title, steal title, and was named to the league's first team again. And in the All-Star Game held in the middle of the season, Iverson led the Eastern All-Star Game to successfully reverse the results and defeat the Western All-Star Game after falling behind by more than 20 points, and Iverson was also selected as the MVP of the All-Star Game.
A classic scene occurred in this All-Star Game, when Iverson took the stage to accept the awards, he kept asking the people around him where Coach Brown was, and made a speech, saying that the MVP trophy was dedicated to Coach Brown, the scene was warm, but the unruly Iverson treated Larry Brown, who was also a teacher and father, and this stopped at this season, and the good relationship began to buy the seeds of disaster because of Iverson's training problems, and finally broke up in the next 03 years, of course, it hasn't happened yet, But all of this is a sign that the 76ers are on the verge of separation.
In this year's playoffs, the 76ers faced the Indiana Pacers for the third time in the first round, and this time the 76ers finally managed to defeat the archrival Pacers.
Entering the second round, the 76ers have to face the Toronto Raptors with Vince Carter, so this series has become a duel between the two superstars. Iverson had an excellent run of the series, scoring 54 and 52 points in Game 2 and Game 5, respectively, becoming only the second player after Michael Jordan to score more than 50 points in the same series in the playoffs. And in the decisive Game 7, the Raptors imposed a full-court double on Iverson in an attempt to prevent him from scoring. But Iverson used the opportunity to create scoring opportunities for his teammates, and he eventually led the 76ers to a victory over the Toronto Raptors with 16 assists to reach the Eastern Conference Finals.
In the Eastern Conference Finals, the Milwaukee Bucks won the first two games each, but Iverson was unfortunately injured at this time, and the 76ers were defeated in Game 3, and then Iverson returned from injury to drag the series into Game 7 again. Iverson scored 44 points in the deciding game to lead the 76 to the Eastern Conference championship and reach the Finals.
The Grand Final was once considered a one-sided affair, but the first result was unexpected, and it has since been regarded as one of the classic scenes of the Grand Final. Iverson scored 48 points in the game and scored seven straight points in the final minute of overtime to give the 76ers the first game. However, due to the inability to stop the Lakers' Shaquille O'Neal wreaking havoc in the restricted area, the 76ers then ended the Finals with four consecutive losses, failing to draw a perfect end to the season.
It's a season that is both regrettable and expected, but the 76ers set an NBA record with four awards for one team: Allen Iverson's MVP, Larry Brown's Best Coach, Diebaken-Mutombo's Best Defender, and Allen McGee's Sixth Man of the Year.
The greatest energy bursts out the most dazzling spark at the best time, but just like an epiphany, it will converge its charm after the most beautiful moment blooms. The 76ers reached their peak in the 00-01 season and began to decline, with Mutombo's departure, the rest of the players' form declining, and finally only Iverson was left alone on the court.
Ghostly figures, flashy ball handling, lightning-fast breakaways, steady mid-range shots, erratic layups, steals like the wind, lifeless killing, extraordinary creativity, and weird passing, these are all Iverson's labels, as he himself said: "They can't take me down unless they kill me, and anything that doesn't kill me will only make me stronger!" "A person is a person, he is still a strong man, but the giant of the 76ers is starting to grow old and falter.
