359. As the fratricidal Bobcats players walked out of the airport, some fans stood outside the aisle to greet them. It's a common sight that NBA stars like Warburn have fans in any city, and even if they are as great as the Green Shirts or the Purple and Gold, they can't be the only favorites in the local city.

However, many of these fans held up some banners and billboards with words that made Huaben feel painful:

"The AI treats you like a brother, but you come to provoke him."

"Cherish life, stay away from this. Wallace. ”

"Who are the real brothers of AI? Root. Wallace, please face this question squarely!"

Iguodala turned her head with sunglasses and asked Huaben, "Boss, do you have a leg with AI?" Hey, yes, can you get me a pair of signed sneakers with him? Just sign in to the shoes I played today, I'm also AI. "Iguodala's full name is Andre.iguodala, which is also referred to as AI, and now Charlotte fans call him Little AI.

Hua Ben shrugged his shoulders and scolded: "I'm good brothers with AI, but who the has a leg with him?" Lao Tzu only sits on women's laps! ”

A group of people scrambled into the bus prepared by the 76ers, and not far away, a Rolls-Royce silver angel drove out, the window opened, and the AI wearing a baseball cap showed his head and stretched out his hand to smile.

Huaben discussed with Jordan, the driver stopped, and he took Iguodala into Iverson's sports car.

"This is Andrey. Iguodala, your fans, AI. Huaben pointed to Iguodala and said that from the perspective of a friend, Iverson is a very qualified and even excellent friend, and he perfectly interprets the word brotherly righteousness in the American mind.

Iverson let go of the steering wheel and hugged Iguodala and smiled, "I know him, if it weren't for you cutting off his beard, hey, then this guy would have come to our Philadelphia." Andre, how was it in Charlotte, and would you be interested in coming to Philadelphia to hang out with me? ”

Iguodala was a little flattered, and he didn't even see a shadow of Iverson during the 76ers tryout. Hearing Iverson's words, he shook his head firmly and said, "AI, I adore you so much, you can call me 'Zebra'." But I'm very happy in Charlotte, we're a great team, yes, great, everybody loves it. ”

Iverson took Warburn and Iguodala to dinner and dropped them off at the hotel. After a short training session, at 7 p.m. on January 20, 2005, the two teams met at the Vochovia Arena.

Since the beginning of this season, the 76ers have a poor record, so far 36 games, only 20 wins, according to the current results, of course, there is no problem in entering the playoffs, but Iverson wants to get the coveted O'Brien Cup, but it is even more difficult, and their record is not even as good as the Raptors in the Atlantic Division.

At the beginning of this season, Iverson switched to playmaking guard, but with little success, he, like Kobe, has a vocation of attacking the hoop, and it is not easy to get him to pass the ball.

Here's a rundown of talented players in the 1996 draft, known as the '96 Golden Generation, when the 76ers had the No. 1 pick, and they wanted to choose a playmaker because they already had a strong player at the No. 1 position. At that time, the 76ers were considering targeting Iverson and Marbury, who were the best playmakers that year, and later decided to select Iverson because he had more assists than Marbury in college. But in the NBA, Iverson and Marbury have become a kind of surname, and passing the ball is a pain for them.

The 76ers' starting lineup appeared on the LED screen, center: Samuel. Durham Porter, power forward: Brian. Skinner, small forward: Glenn. Robinson, playmaking defender: Allen. Iverson, Shooting Guard: Aaron. Mcgee.

The Bobcats' starting lineup was changed, and Jordan's options were a lot bigger because of the recent new trade and the old man returning from injury. Center: Hua Ben, this iron play remains the same, especially the 76ers have no good players inside; Power forward: West, Oku retired from injury, Wang Zhizhi was useless, and the returning West got this good opportunity; The small forward is Gerrard. Wallace, which is also very stable, for the iron man Gerald, Jordan is quite fond of it; The shooting guard is Andre Iguodala, a rookie that the Bobcats are ready to cheer for; The playmaking defender changed today, Patin was on the bench, and Braven, who had returned from injury. Knight became the starter.

In fact, the last thing that should be replaced is Pattin, because in addition to Huaben, the strongest attack power of the Bobcat team is Pattin. The reason why Knight, who had just recovered from injury, was put in the starter, Jordan's explanation was that Patin needed to rest, and Knight averaged 13 points and 7 assists per game last season, and if he hadn't signed Huaben, he would have been the core of the Bobcats.

Bowler is more than two meters tall, and he has an excellent arm span and good jumping, plus he is young, and when he jumps the ball, he was stunned to give the ball to Iverson before Huaben.

Seeing this scene, Jordan stood up directly, covered his mouth with his hands to make a trumpet shape, and roared: "Be optimistic about AI, be optimistic about AI!" Don't give him a chance to rush in! ”

Iverson didn't have the ball and then went on a fast break, and as soon as the Bobcats saw Hellam Porter touch the ball, they all ran into the front court and shrank inside the three-point line to wait for Iverson's assault.

Looking at his opponent with a solemn expression, Iverson smiled: "Don't be nervous, guys, you seem to be scared?" Haha, are you afraid of me getting the ball? It's inevitable, though. Ben, as your close brother, I'm going to be in good spirits to play with you in this game, and I haven't played well for more than a week for today's game. ”

Iverson's average points per game in the first two games was 24 points, far lower than his 32.8 points this season.

As an upstart in the league, the Bobcats have become a thorn in the side of other teams, and no matter who beats him, they will hold their strength.

Seeing Iverson spewing trash talk with a relaxed expression, Knight moved his hands and ankles, and he started as soon as he came back, and he was a little uncomfortable.

As soon as Knight stood up straight, the smiling Iverson had a cold light in his eyes, and he suddenly stepped out, and the whole person rushed into the three-point line like a black whirlwind. Knight was shocked, and he turned around to retreat, but the AI was gone.

Iguodala had been staring at Iverson, and Knight was breached, and he was mentally prepared to move sideways to make up for it. Iverson slapped the ball with his left hand, and when he saw Iguodala meet him, his shoulder shook quickly, and the ball was handed to his left hand, and he took a lightning step, and it was about to break through Iguodala's right side.

"It's fast!" Iguodala let out a thrust of her right leg, subconsciously trying to block Iverson's path. At that moment, Iverson returned the ball in his right hand to his left hand, stepped out with his right leg and stepped forward to the left, just in time to stagger Iguodala's body, and he rushed into the box in two steps.

West continued to make up the defense, Iverson jumped head-on, hit a time difference with his left hand lever to avoid West's raised arm, and the arm pulled down and shook his wrist to send the ball into the hoop.

The Philadelphia fans were suddenly boiling, Iverson's No. 3 jersey was flying all over the sky, and countless people were screaming with all their might:

"Kill Charlotte's hillbilly! Get the hell out of noble Philadelphia! ”

"Long live the 76ers, Aaron. Long live Iverson! ”

"Kick their ass and tell them the answer to death (the nickname of the AI)!"

Wabeto picked up the ball and subconsciously passed it quickly to Knight, who did not speed up and slowly ran off the field at his own pace. Wajben shook his head and didn't say anything, although he didn't like the rhythm very much, but thinking about the 76ers is also a team that likes fast breaks, maybe it's better.

After halftime, Huaben stood outside the three-point line to get the ball, Robinson followed him to interfere, Knight hesitated, did not pass the ball directly, but took two steps back to open the distance between him and Iverson, and dribbled the ball outside the three-point line to direct his teammates to run.

This is what Jordan dislikes the most about Knight, as a point guard, Knight is too sticky, and last season with the Bucks, he didn't even pass the ball at one point, which is why the Bucks didn't put him on the protection list despite his great stats.

"What do you want to do? Don't see the boss asking for the ball? Iguodala cried out first.

Knight shrugged, then passed the ball to Waben, explaining, "Big Dog (Robinson's nickname) is next to you, and that's not a good position." ”

Hua Ben also shrugged his shoulders and smiled, "You think he can look at me?" He is no longer a big dog, but an old dog! ”

Robinson was the No. 1 pick in '94 and was a talented striker to the extreme, but how talented was he? Since the first day of entering the league, he has relied on talent to play, never trained seriously and studied hard, but he has played the main force to this day! This guy played extremely fiercely in college, so he got the nickname 'Big Dog', and he didn't have a bad temper in private, such as beating and insulting his fiancée, not everyone can do such shameless things.

Of course, what happened to Robinson most famously was that he just entered the league to contract with the Bucks, and after being selected as the No. 1 pick, Robinson refused to report to the Bucks unless the other party was willing to sign him with a 100 million dollar contract. You must know that Pippen's salary in 94 is 4 million, and the salary of a generation of Tianjiao Jordan is only 5 million! Later, the Bucks had to compromise and signed a 10-year, 68 million contract with him. Now the league's rookie signing ceiling is 3+1 four-year contract, thanks to Robinson, after he signed this contract, the league quickly introduced a new treaty, and the rookie contract must not exceed 5 years.

Robinson has always been lazy defensively, not to mention that he is old now, he is indeed old, he has played for ten years by eating his old book, which is long enough, and the NBA has not relied on talent to play for more than ten years, and Maddie is counted as one.

Hua Ben put away the ball and leaned on Robinson and hit it backwards, the big dog was no longer as brave as it used to be, and was knocked back a step, and then Hua himself twisted his torso, straddled out with his right foot, jumped up quickly, leaned back slightly, aimed at the hoop, shook his wrist elegantly, and sent the ball into the hoop.

"It's that easy." Wabbon smiled and stepped back, glancing at Robinson with some disdain.

Iverson and Robinson have a good relationship, both are champions, both are geniuses who don't like to train, both are stars who have appeared in domestic violence, and seeing his friends being bullied, Iverson certainly wants to stand up for him.

"Do you come by yourself or by me?" Iverson asked Robinson.

Robinson glanced at Hua Ben, who was looking at Hua Ben, and said firmly, "Aaron, let me do it myself!" ”
