Chapter 60: The Answer: Iverson

If you really like the sport of basketball, you must not be unfamiliar with the name Iverson, the shortest champion in NBA history, no matter what predicament Iverson faces, no matter how strong he is, he has never been afraid of these two words in his life.

Iverson, who was just entering the league, did not give Jordan the respect he deserved in front of Jordan, he never had an idol, he only made a true self.

Iverson was a kid from the slums who played football in his early days, but for a variety of reasons, he eventually embarked on the path of basketball, which was his only option.

Iverson was once imprisoned, originally sentenced to five years in prison, but in the end he was released after only four months in prison, before Iverson's future was very bright, but he was still a well-known local person.

However, after being imprisoned, everything became confused, and the universities, which were ready to reach out like Iverson to throw an olive branch, retreated one after another.

Only Georgetown University chose Iverson in the end, and George Town coach John Thompson treated Iverson like a father to a child.

In the end, because Iverson went to the draft ahead of schedule, the relationship with Thompson was no longer so good, but Iverson also had his reasons, Iverson was a person who valued love and righteousness, her mother's name was Anne, and she gave birth to Iverson at the age of fifteen, no matter how Anne worked, she worked up to eighteen hours a day, but she still couldn't support the whole family.

Iverson also has two younger sisters who have been sick all year round, and because of the environment in which they live, they have never gotten better. The place where you live, the slum, these three words, you must know the extent of the poor environment.

For the sake of this family, Iverson finally chose to go to the draft early to get rid of his birth class.

1996 was recognized as a draft year, when Iverson participated in the draft and was drafted by the Philadelphia 76ers with the first pick in the first round, making him the shortest pick in NBA history.

Since entering this league, Iverson has been very good, leading the 76ers to become a regular in the playoffs, but he has never led the team to win a championship, he has always been a lone fighter, without strong teammates around him to help him, Jordan has Pippen Rodman by his side, and Kobe Bryant has a big shark O'Neal by his side.

Iverson has won numerous honors, but there is no championship in the honors, and the honor of the Most Valuable Player in the Finals, which is Iverson's biggest regret so far, and Iverson is no longer in Philadelphia, first traded to the Nuggets, and then traded to the Pistons this offseason.

And the Cavaliers' opponent today is Iverson's team Detroit Pistons, the highlight of this game is undoubtedly between Huang Jun and Iverson, both of them are very good guards, and they are both small men, but in terms of height, Iverson is still a little bit worse than Huang Jun, not as tall as Huang Jun.

For the opponent he is about to face, Iverson. Huang Jun admires him very much, although Iverson is already going downhill, or it should be said that injuries have made Iverson go downhill, bringing injuries to the battlefield can be said to have become Iverson's daily routine, he is such a strong person, he has never fallen under anything, whether it is an injury or a strong opponent, he has always stood firm with his weak but great body.

"Huang, what do you think of tonight's opponent Ai?" said to Huang Jun who was about to enter the stadium in the passage of the locker room.

Huang Jun didn't even want to go back, "Do you know why I chose No. 3 for my jersey?" Because I want to be a strong player like Iverson, who will never give in and give up no matter what difficulties or opponents he faces. Maybe he's no longer in his prime, but in my heart, he'll always be that admirable little man. ”

"Well, well, Wong, I'm sure you're going to be another Iverson, or you're going to grow up to be a stronger player than Iverson, you're all small, but no one dares to underestimate you," James said.

"Hehe, in Iverson's words, I just want to be myself, not another him" After speaking, Huang Jun ran from the passage to the court, and while running, he looked up at Iverson who had entered the field over there, Huang Jun's eyes were very firm at this time, that was his former idol, or now, although he was an idol, but Huang Jun never thought that he was another Iverson.

Iverson felt a gaze on him, turned his head to look in the direction of this gaze, and looked at the player who was also a small man with him, although Iverson didn't see that he was looking at himself, but his heart told himself that the person who was looking at him just now was this little man.

Looking at Huang Jun trotting in from the passage of the arena, Iverson couldn't help but smile, no one knew the meaning of his smile.

Huang Jun also felt that someone was watching him, but he didn't look for a target, because he already had the answer in his heart, and that was the answer, Iverson.

"Answer, then let's see together, who does the answer to this game belong to, will it be yours or mine?" Huang Jun couldn't help but think in his heart, thinking of this, Huang Jun's battle intent burst out in an instant.

This fighting spirit is very strong, everyone on the scene felt it, and Iverson on the other side also felt it, he knew that this fighting spirit was brought to him by that kid, and then Iverson's whole body also burst out, Iverson's fighting spirit completely overwhelmed Huang Jun in terms of strength and intensity, and the next moment Huang Jun's fighting spirit was broken.

After all, Huang Jun is just a rookie, and his fighting spirit is obviously not as good as Iverson who has fought on the basketball battlefield for many years, and now Iverson is a god of war, and Huang Jun is just a small soldier who has just joined the army.

Iverson didn't look down on him because of this, but appreciated Huang Jun a little bit in his heart, knowing that this was the first time Iverson saw Huang Jun. He has also watched Huang Jun's recent games, so he naturally knows Huang Jun's strength, in his eyes, the strong are respected, and he also feels Huang Jun's personality that is somewhat similar to him.

Iverson is now looking forward to the confrontation with Huang Jun, he wants to see this young man, compared to his own time, which is stronger and weaker?

Huang Jun naturally did not look for Iverson, but practiced the ball to warm up in his own half, and the same is true for Iverson.

"Kenny, do you think this is a direct confrontation between the little guys? What about direct conversations? Barkley said, looking at Kenny Smith.

"The alignment of the two of them is definitely very interesting, but the current Iverson and Huang Jun, alas, although there is never a fair or unfair saying on the basketball court, but I still want to say that the current Iverson and the younger Huang Jun are in pairs, it is an unfair comparison, you can only watch their games, wonderful games. But you can't judge which of them is better or weaker, because Iverson is already on the decline, and Huang is just starting his journey," Kenny Smith said.

Originally, Smith wanted to take a drink of saliva before continuing, but was directly snatched by the unknot* Barkley.

"Yes, but I'm sure they're going to give you a good game, and Iverson is still the same Iverson, he's a great player who's going to be in the Hall of Fame anyway. In this game, can Iverson defeat Huang Jun who has just entered his career in terms of speed, I think everyone will say that Iverson is old, and obviously he is not Huang's opponent in terms of speed, right? Barkley continued: "Maybe, but I'm sure Iverson is still the player who will always give us a miracle or an answer." ”

In fact, Iverson's nickname "answer" did not come from basketball, but from his life, his brothers and friends.

He would carry about $20,000 in cash with him every day, and whenever his friends asked for it, he would not hesitate to hand it to him, so Iverson was a man of great affection and righteousness.

Kenny Smith looked at Barkley's partner and nodded helplessly, agreeing with Barkley's words.

It is a pity for Chinese fans that this game was not broadcast live on Chinese TV, but there is a live video broadcast on the Internet, which can be regarded as a comfort to Chinese fans, the reason why it is not broadcast is because the Rockets and Nets have games, both of which are occupied by these two teams, and Huang Jun is obviously underestimated.

But even if Huang Jun knows, he won't care, how to choose the live broadcast is their business, except for his family and basketball, Huang Jun won't care about those boring things.

And the game started immediately, and both sides were already preparing the jump ball on the halfway line, and this game was played on the home court of the Cavaliers. This is good news for the Cavaliers.

Iverson was traded to the Pistons, and because the Pistons already wore No. 3, Ai finally chose the No. 1 jersey, which was also the first time in his career that he wore the No. 1 jersey, which can be said to be the first jersey other than the No. 3.

Pistons' starting lineup: point guard Allen Iverson, scoring Richard Hamilton, small forward Prince, big forward Antonio Mike Days, center Rasheed Wallace.

Although McDies wanted to buy out the contract, but in the end the Pistons refused, McDeyes was very angry, and even wanted to be negative, but in the end, under the persuasion of Iverson, he agreed to the Pistons.

Is this the butterfly effect after Huang Jun entered the NBA?

There are no changes to the lineup on the Cavaliers' side, and the starting lineup is still composed of Huang Jun, Battier, James, Landry and Ilgoska.
