Chapter 152: The Defending Champion
"Chinese Derby!!"
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, eastern United States. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Wachovia Center Arena.
"We've seen a Chinese derby several times in the past few years, but this is the first time that there will be three Chinese players on the pitch at the same time!"
Although in today's game, the difference in strength between the two sides is extremely large, the topicality and popularity of this game still made the catwalk leader decide with a wave of his hand: live broadcast!
Not only is it live, but the catwalk also sent the strongest combination on the commentary stage, Kenny Smith and Charles Barkley are just standard, and there is even a figure that everyone is familiar with in the center of the commentary table.
"First of all, welcome to today's guest commentator, the King of Philadelphia, the eternal answer - Alan Iverson!"
“WOOOOOOOOOOOOOW――!!!”
On the field, the two sides have not yet begun to warm up, but the appearance of the commentator is enough to make Vajovia feel overwhelming.
"YO, how's it going?"
Iverson stood up, still dressed in a rebellious manner, even Smith and Barkley put on suits, looking like adults, and the answer was still that street look.
Waving his hand to greet the fans, Iverson's every action triggered more enthusiastic shouts from the fans.
"Aaron, how do you feel after retiring? Do you suddenly find that you can't do anything and are about to be abandoned by society? Hahaha! ”
Barkley has always been open-mouthed, and as a former Philadelphia celebrity, Barkley and Iverson have always had a good relationship. No, they just met, and before the two sides started chatting in detail, the big fat man immediately threw out a taunting skill.
"Haha, at least I didn't gain weight."
Iverson didn't show weakness, a trash word spewed out, and Smith on the side "poofed", almost squirting a table of water.
“…… You kid, when you enter the Hall of Fame, I won't be a recommender for you! ”
Ross Barkley directly threatened the player's dream of a super-honour.
"Haha, okay, Julius has already contacted me anyway, and when the time comes, he will be my recommender."
Iverson was not afraid at all, and another anti-spray.
“…… Depend on! ”
Barkley slammed the table, vomiting more than three liters of blood.
"Hahaha...... Okay, okay, no more fuss! Audience friends, welcome to the catwalk NBA live broadcast, where we are now, is Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and the two people next to me are both legends of the Philadelphia 76ers! ”
Kenny Smith controlled the rhythm of the host and said: "Allen Iverson, after winning the championship with the 76ers last season, he achieved a career double harvest of individual and team honors, first of all, let's congratulate Iverson!" Aaron, show me your championship ring?? ”
"I knew you were going to come here, so I brought it, haha."
Iverson raised his right hand, the gold ring on his finger was extremely dazzling, and the big fat man on the side was drooling.
"...... Hey, sell it to me, right?? Barkley stared at the ring for a long time, stretched out his hand to touch it, but Iverson was alert and immediately dodged it, and the fat man said helplessly: "When Chen wins the championship or something, you ask him to buy another one!" Sell me this! ”
"Hehe, you think beautifully." Iverson put the ring back in his pocket.
"Haha, I'm sorry Aaron, Charles's thirst for rings, I hope you can tolerate it. Do you know? His phone never rings, do you know why? Smith asked with a wicked smile.
"Oh? Why? Iverson's eyes widened, puzzled.
"BECAUSE HE'S NO-RING! Hahahaha......! ”
When a cold joke was said, Iverson laughed out loud very cooperatively, and Smith pounded the table and couldn't stop laughing, tears were about to come out.
"Damn, it's amazing to have a ring! Yes?! Barkley's neck turned red with anger, and he reached out and slammed Smith's head.
"No, no, no, no, my ring is a mix, it's not great at all!"
Smith hurriedly put away his smile and said, "The reason why I can get the ring is purely because Hakim is too strong. ”
"Damn, that's pretty much it!" The fat man nodded indignantly, and said with his nostrils facing the sky: "If it weren't for Hakim being too powerful, how could you be a scumbag like you, who only averaged more than ten points per game, ......?"
"After all, in the playoffs, we're going to kill you in the Western Conference Finals." Smith casually put his hands in his pockets.
"Ni Paralysis ......"
"And it's still 0-2 behind to complete a big turnaround, tsk, it's really difficult to win the championship that year...... Smith was clearly prepared and took out the '94 championship ring from his pocket.
"I'm going to Nima's ......"
"A year later, it's the Western Conference Finals that I got into after killing you, alas." Smith put away the '94 ring and put his hands in his pockets again.
"What the hell is ...... you"
"It's 0-2 again, I don't even know what to say, really." Smith took out another '95 championship ring, lit it up in front of the screen, and then sent it to his mouth for an affectionate kiss.
“…… Don't stop me, I'm going to beat him!! ”
"Hahaha......"
In Iverson's laughter, Barkley stood up and gave Smith a "fat beating", and the atmosphere of the game that had not yet started had been heated up by this pair of living treasures.
"Hahahaha...... Okay, good, back to the topic! ”
After some frolic, Smith put the two rings on his fingers, deliberately supported his chin with his hand, looked at Iverson and said: "The start of Philadelphia this year is still quite strong, before the start of the season, in fact, many experts are not optimistic about the trend of Philadelphia this season, what do you think of this problem?" ”
"Can you take the ring ......?"
"Uh-huh, that's right. Although we did go a lot this season, both inside and outside, last season's championship team can be said to be fragmented. But overall, Philadelphia does two things well. Iverson replied as he put the ring on his finger as well.
"Aaron, why are you ...... too?"
"First, dig into the potential internally."
Iverson said: "Last season, our main rotation was Kyle Lowry, rookie Stephen Curry, Andre Iguodala, Chen, and Daco Milicic. The five-man team should say that the outside projection is weak, but the backcourt is fast, and the interior and exterior defense are strong. The main thing is that the dominance of the inside line is quite outstanding. ”
On the footage broadcast on the television station, scenes from last season's Philadelphia games began to appear. Except for a few opportunities to switch between offense and defense, almost all of the ball will be passed through the inside. And as soon as Chen Mu gets the ball, the opponent's defense will immediately retreat.
"Chen is too strong, really too strong. When you mentioned Hakim just now, I think that Chen is Hakim in the No. 4 position in this era. He can be inside and out, steals and blocks on the defensive end, as well as a beautiful strategy and assist, and can even hold the ball and frame singles! ”
Iverson said: "With him as the fulcrum, we started last season quickly or slowly. In addition, Daktronics also has a certain ability to carry back the inside line, which makes our inside line a great deterrent. As long as the opponent's defense is changed, the perimeter player has a chance. ”
"Yes, but your bench was scary last season, right?" Smith deliberately turned his wrist so that the ring reflected the light of the scene.
"You two don't want to......
"Indeed."
Iverson smiled and nodded, reached out to adjust the direction of the ring, so that a light shone directly on Barkley's fat face, and continued: "I, Kyle Korver, Rodney Carney, Reggie Evans, DeAndre Jordan, our bench is a combination of three musketeers and two rebounding monsters. We came and went like the wind, at a fast pace, like pirates of the Caribbean. ”
"It's a big problem to defend you, especially with you as the driving force, so some strong teams, even if they can compete with you in the starters, will be defeated by your bench bandits when it comes to the transition stage." Smith nodded.
"It's thick, at least the bench depth of the regular ten-man rotation, and when we play the attack wave, it's usually in the transition section." Iverson responded: "The most important thing is the presence of Chen, even if we can't play an advantage in regular time, when it comes to critical moments, he can still crush anyone, score key points, send key blocks, and steal...... He's the big heart, the super big heart of the historic level. ”
"So this season, what do you mean by digging potential......?"
"Stephen and DeAndre, these two Energizer Boys are amazing." Iverson smiled with relief: "Chen has told me many times that I hope I can play for another year and fight for consecutive championships together." But when summer came, I practiced with Stephen for a while, and he improved so much that I felt like I could let it go. ”
"Oh? Even you think it's amazing? Smith didn't expect that Alan Iverson, who was the only one in heaven and on earth, could look down on other little men.
"You can see it when you look at this season's games." Iverson smiled: "So is Deandre, when Darko is leaving, we also retained, but DeAndre's growth is enough to support Philadelphia's interior defense." ”
"Where's Yao?" Smith said, "Let's talk about Yao!" This season you are the most important and almost the only signing. ”
"I've played against him, on the court, as a teammate when I was an All-Star in the West."
Iverson said: "To be honest, he's not in good shape right now, he's got a lot of injuries, and he can't play for too long. But the question is, now in the alliance, who do you think can stop Yao? ”
"This ......"
Smith was asked, thought for a moment, and shook his head.
"Can't stop it."
Iverson nodded: "If Yao plays 20 minutes per game, no one in the whole world can stop him one-on-one." That's exactly what Philadelphia did, and since Yao's comeback, he hasn't played back-to-back, played away games as appropriate, and never played more than 20 minutes. In this time dimension, Yao is an invincible existence under the basket. ”
"So it's even more admirable!" Smith looked at the court and said, "In the past month, Yao was still recovering from an injury, but Philadelphia can still play a brilliant start, it's really not easy!" ”
"Mostly Chen."
Iverson's big eyes shone with a strange brilliance: "Because so far, he has been playing with all his strength, and he has completely paddled in the regular season, and the statistics don't seem to be as shocking as last season, so you may think that he is not at his peak." But I'll tell you, I've watched Chen's summer training, ha, when you need him to exert your strength, you will find out how strong he really is......! ”
Chen Mu, have you evolved again......??
Smith didn't know the answer, and Iverson didn't seem to want to reveal too much.
"Tell me about the other side, Sacramento...... It's in! The players are warming up! ”
As he spoke, players from both sides warmed up.
"There are so many people watching the warm-up......???"
Walking into the stadium, Gu Yu was immediately attracted by the scene in front of him.
“GOOOOO――!!”
Philadelphia fans waved slogans in their hands frantically, but it was just warm-up time, and thousands of people were already seated in the stadium.
What kind of box office appeal is this......???
"Don't be vain! Get motivated! ”
"Yes!!"
Westfair spoke not far behind him, and the Kings players responded in unison, led by Gu Yu, and everyone was not afraid at all, and walked into the court with their heads held high.
Only one person fell last, looking at the lights shining in the stadium, his expression revealed a timidity that could not be hidden.
"Damn, normal heart! No matter how good they are, they are people, basketball is round, everything is possible! ”
Gu Yu raised his arms and shouted, took the lead in the away team's half, and was just about to take the ball to start warming up
“…… Wow!!!! ”
The famous sound of Vajovia, turning the sky upside down!!
What the heck?!
Gu Yu was startled, only to feel that his ears were about to be deafened, and he turned his head and stared.
In the players' tunnel, a man walked out.
With his footsteps, every time he stepped down, the whole world seemed to tremble.
