Chapter Eighty-Six: Philadelphia

Thomas shook his head and said with a smile, "Yu, I don't think you're right. The body is your own, and your actions are also determined by yourself, and there is no need to be limited by others. Remember, people who are restricted, people who grow up in the rules, may not be able to play their true strengths, which means that those so-called unruly players are often strong.

Since you like to play basketball, there's one person you should know, Allen Iverson. What do you think? Know him? ”

Yu Yang nodded and said excitedly: "I know, of course I know." He's an NBA hero, that's something a lot of people know, and of course, I'm a fan of him. ”

Thomas smiled and continued, "Just look at the way you look and know you like Iverson, because your eyes are full of excitement." Iverson, he's our hero in Philadelphia, and he's the proudest player in Philadelphia. Thinking about his performance on the pitch, he never feared anyone's eyes, yes, eyes, no player dared to look him in the eyes. Because they'll say, oh! No, that's not a simple thing. His eyes will kill, and we will all be killed by him.

But his private life was never restricted, and I can tell you that he was not a good man. Everything, **, arms, drug trafficking, everything. But he can perform on the court to his heart's content, so don't distrust him, don't dismiss him because of his background.

Because he will use his actions to tell everyone that he is a person at the bottom of society, but he is also a superstar that everyone knows. He told the people on the NBA that short people can still become superstars, and poor people can still become rich. People don't deny a hero because of basketball, basketball is crazy stuff, and Iverson has never been denied in the hearts of our people in Philadelphia, and no one wants to deny him.

It's just that what happened recently has been beyond everyone's expectations, Iverson is old, family factors and injuries have pushed him away, and now he has left the arena that once made him proud. ”

Yu Yang looked at Thomas with another look, and his eyes showed regret and sigh. Yu Yang wanted to be silent, he knew that Thomas's words were not finished.

Sure enough, Thomas came back to his senses and looked at Yu Yang and asked, "You should be going to the 76ers' training camp, right?" If so, you need to know a few things about Philadelphia. Do you need to know? I still know a thing or two about basketball, after all, I'm a Philadelphia. I also love basketball. ”

Yu Yang smiled awkwardly and said, "To be honest, I really don't know much about Philadelphia and the so-called training camp. I knew there was a 76ers in Philadelphia with Allen Iverson in it, and Iguodala at the moment, and that's it. So it's a must to understand because we're going to the Philadelphia 76ers to practice, and that's a special case for us here. ”

Thomas: "I know that, so you can get to know the Philadelphia 76ers and Philadelphia as a place." I can say, listen up little brother, this time Thomas will introduce you to our proud Philadelphia and 76ers, the first time to be a tour guide!

Philadelphia; Phila Delphia, also often referred to simply as "Philip" and sometimes referred to as "Brotherly Love City", is the fifth largest city in the United States and the most populous and largest city in Pennsylvania. On July 4, 1776, representatives of the 13 British North American colonies met in Philadelphia for the Second Continental Congress and adopted the Declaration of Independence.

A little more detailed is his history:

Before the arrival of the Europeans, the area around Philadelphia was originally a settlement of the Renape Indians, who called the area Shakamason. Although the entire borough was called Maryland Lease in 1632, the Calverts did not travel that far. Swedish immigrants were the first to come to this area, calling Philadelphia Vikacoca, and in 1646, Swedish missionaries founded a church on Tinniken Island, and in 1700 the group founded the Church of Glory.

Founded and planned by the Quadrists William Paine, the name Philadelphia means "city of love" in Greek. Paine hoped that Philadelphia, the immigrant city he founded, would become a model based on the principles of the integration of freedom and religion.

When the early Quakers or others bought land in the city, they also had to buy agricultural land on the outskirts of the city, which made it easy for the population of the city to grow outward. Paine also considered fire and infectious diseases, which were common problems in London and other large cities at the time, so he planned many alleys and open public spaces in the city.

Philadelphia was an important center of the independence movement during the American Revolution, and the Declaration of Independence and the U.S. Constitution were drafted and signed at Independence Hall in Philadelphia. The U.S. Navy was founded in Philadelphia on November 10, 1775, when Sammius Nicholas recruited soldiers at the Vat Bar.

During the American Revolution, the inhabitants of Philadelphia were divided into royalists and revolutionaries. When the British occupied Philadelphia in 1777, many Loyalist residents lined the streets to welcome the British and chant "God save the Emperor." When the U.S. Army recaptured Philadelphia in 1778, it was the turn of the revolutionary residents to welcome and celebrate. Especially since at the time of the British occupation, large quantities of supplies were provided to the British army, and these inhabitants survived a difficult winter. About 3,000 Loyalists fled with the British army, and 45 Loyalists who remained in Philadelphia were tried for wartime collaborators, and two were convicted and hanged.

In the 18th century, Philadelphia was the largest city in the Americas north of Mexico City and the fourth largest city in the British possessions, after London, Bristol and Dublin.

In 1790, under an agreement between the majority of the members of Congress in the South and the then Secretary of the Treasury, Alexander Hamiltown, the U.S. government moved from the Federal Hall in New York to the Congressional Hall in Philadelphia before moving to what is now Washington, D.C.

In exchange for the U.S. capital being located on the banks of the Potomac River, Congressmen passed Hamiltown's fiscal plan, and Philadelphia became the capital of the United States for a decade, until the Capitol Hill building in Washington, D.C. was completed and put into use, ending Philadelphia's early role as a rail transportation center and home to the world's largest steam train manufacturer, Baldwin, who later moved to Addy Ston, Pennsylvania.

Philadelphia-based Pennsylvania was once the largest railroad company in the United States, the largest in the United States in terms of revenue and volume, and was once the world's largest transportation company.

In 1876, Philadelphia hosted the World's Fair and Centennial Exhibition, and in 1926, Philadelphia celebrated the 150th birthday of the United States with the 150th Anniversary Exposition of the United States. In 1976, Philadelphia was also one of the cities in the United States to host the bicentennial celebrations.
