Speaking of Iguodala, one has to sigh at his life experience.

He stayed with the Philadelphia 76ers for many years, and in his previous life, he directly extended a six-year, $80 million contract. He stayed in Philadelphia until 2012, when Iguodala was 28 years old, when Iguodala was traded away by the Philadelphia 76ers.

Moreover, when Iguodala was sent away, it was completely unexpected by Iguodala, and before the transaction, he didn't think Iguodala would reveal the news at all. At the time of the trade, Iguodala was still representing Team USA at the Olympics. However, Iguodala's game time was understandably limited after the trade. Because Coach K may feel that this affects Iguodala's feelings, so he will deliberately reduce Iguodala's playing time, Iguodala will feel sad every time he mentions this transaction, and the time of this transaction makes Iguodala difficult to accept, and he gave all his love to Philadelphia, but he received such treatment, I have to say that this is a very sad result.

In the first time Iguodala played for the Nuggets in Philadelphia after being traded, Iguodala scored 11 points on 5-of-13 shooting, and the Nuggets lost the game, and after the game, Smallwood of the Philadelphia Daily News wrote in the paper: "In an unremarkable 76ers era, an unremarkable player has once again played an unremarkable performance. ”

This compliment, which is not a compliment, is not a mockery, but it can be regarded as a relatively good summary of Iguodala's career in Philadelphia.

Every time Iguodala talks about that and that trade, Iguodala is always hard to let go, "They say it hasn't been successful since Iverson led the team to the Finals," Iguodala said. "But the truth is that we only missed two playoff games. They said I was there for a day, and it was like a wandering team. ”

Few people can understand the minds of Philadelphia fans, but Dirio is one of them. Born in Philadelphia, he played basketball at Russell University and coached, assistant general manager and manager with the 76ers.

"The fans in Philadelphia never really embraced Andre," Dirio said. 'It's interesting because he's a passionate player. He works very hard and his body is amazing. But for some reason, the fans here just didn't really accept him. They accepted Allen Iverson from the bottom of their hearts. They are deeply in love with Aaron. I don't know why. I don't know if it's a problem with Andrei's personality and his attitude towards interviewers. It stands to reason that 76ers fans should like him because he plays hard and is full of hard work. It's a bit confusing to me. ”

However, Dirio still gave his own explanation. "Andre never had a Michael Jordan next to him," Dirio said. "And Scotty has."

That's what many people say about Iguodala – the overlooked Pippen-esque superstar.

As we all know, without Pippen, Jordan would never have been the basketball god he is now, holding six championship rings. Rather, an uncrowned god. That, such a "god". Can we still promote basketball to the whole world?

It has to be said that without Pippen, Jordan would have struggled in the shadow of the Pistons.

A lot of times, there's no shortage of Jordan-esque superstars in the league. What is missing, however, is a Pippen-style second-in-command. Now, Iguodala, a Pippen-like player, has been forced into a position where he shouldn't belong. Give him what he shouldn't be given to do. This is simply a waste of human resources, and a very extravagant waste.

When Iguodala was younger, he was very fond of Pippen. As a young man, Iguodala loved the Michigan Five Tigers, and the tattered Jalen Rose jersey was a constant part of his line. On the field, he desperately imitated another well-rounded tall defender: "Penny" Hardaway. Like any basketball boy who grew up in Illinois in the '90s, he practiced his step-back jumper. But Iguodala wants to be like Scottie [Pippen] the most. The more he watched, the more he realized that Pippen had a more profound impact on the game, because many times he didn't have to score on his own.

In high school, Pippen was a 6-foot-tall point guard who was ignored by almost all colleges. By the time he entered the University of Arkansas, Pippen's height jumped to 6'8 inches, but his excellent ball control and agility were maintained. "Pippen could have been a good player on the track and field," Jack McCallum details the U.S. men's basketball team that swept Barcelona in 1992 in his novel Dream Team. In the 1998 Eastern Conference Finals, Pippen defended the Pacers point guard Mark Jackson. Facing Jackson, who was not as tall as him, Pippen almost single-handedly blocked the opponent's ball lane. In the end, Jordan and Pippen defeated the Jazz in the finals to win the sixth championship in the history of the Bulls. Pippen's defense of Jackson, Iguodala has specialized in it.

At the time, Iguodala was a point guard at Ranfield High School in Springfield. Like Pippen, Iguodala was 6 feet tall and in the middle of growing his body in high school, and was better known for his ability to jump on the track and field than his basketball skills. "He's able to control the ball well," said Lawrence Thomas, who is in charge of freshman training at Lanfil High School. "Even though he's the tallest on the team, he's still playing point guard as a rookie. There's no way I'm going to let him hit the basket just because he's tall. ”

Iguodala has had all sorts of similarities with Pippen from a long time ago. This has to be said to be a coincidence, but it is also a kind of fate.

What Chen Jiyuan values most about Iguodala is the similarity between him and Pippen, which can be regarded as the best second leader in this league. Even, let Iguodala be a three-in-command. Iguodala doesn't care that much, Iguodala needs a stage where he can show his talent and talent, and that's what Iguodala is after. Being able to be a Pippen-type player is Iguodala's wish.

Another point of Iguodala that Chen Jiyuan is very optimistic about is Iguodala's hard work and perseverance.

In his freshman season, Iguodala averaged 6 per game. 4 points and 4. 9 rebounds to help the Wildcats reach the NCAA's elite quarterfinals, but ultimately lost to the University of Kansas. "Andre is a great playmaker," Olsen said. "He protected a lot of backcourt rebounds for us, so we got a lot of fast-break opportunities."

"There are players who can always be in the spotlight, especially when he's so young," said Luke Wharton, who was critically acclaimed as a freshman and became an All-American star in his sophomore year. "He was so engrossed in basketball that he never went out at night, and he didn't participate in the party. He was already training in the gym before the start of each day's training. ”

Iguodala moved in with two female footballers, and their schedules were staggered. When Iguodala was at home, the two girls were not there. And while the girls were there, Iguodala went out again.

Such a hermit-like life paid off.

In his sophomore season, Iguodala nearly doubled his count, averaging 12 per game. 9 points, 8. 4 rebounds and 4. 9 assists. However, after Wharton's departure, the Wildcats lost in the first round of the NCAA to Hall.

Iguodala scored 19 points in his final game for Arizona. "He played a great game," Olsen said. "He did what he could, helping us to reach a higher level."

Such a hard-working and able man, such a player, can maintain a heart to play in a big city like New York, and successfully help the team improve, so that such a player can successfully play his own game in a city like New York.

This is also why Chen Jiyuan basically never goes to nightclubs, because Chen Jiyuan is afraid that he will fall into the whirlpool of drunkenness and forgetfulness.

Chen Jiyuan has been speculating whether Chandler's rookie season has affected his competitive state in his rookie season because of the nightlife in New York? However, in his previous life, Chandler also played in New York, and it seems that there was no time at that time. Maybe it's because the Knicks team record at that time didn't have requirements, and it was easy to get a good number when shooting birds indiscriminately. Maybe it's because of that. But no matter what the reason is, the most fundamental problem is the arrival of Chen Jiyuan anyway, so there will be such a problem.

Iguodala's every qiē is attracting Chen Jiyuan, so Chen Jiyuan is really eager to bring Iguodala into the team. If you can't do it, you can only do your best to let Iguodala come. Chen Jiyuan hopes in his heart that he and Iguodala can become the next great duo.

As for whether it can be realized, it all depends on the summer of three years.
