Chapter 194: The Universe Is a Pizza

If it weren't for the fact that the team's roster has been inconsistent due to injuries, and there is only one defensive (statistic) player on the team, Marcus Camby (even at this point, there are many commentators who disagree), the Denver Nuggets in the 06-07 season, after the Iverson trade, presented a lineup that is absolutely luxurious.

Point guard Steve Blake is not the man who was nicknamed the Flash in the future because he passed the league's No. 1 quarterback at the time like a 4 o'clock in the morning (uh, sorry beard, I'm a big honey like black), but he dribbles steadily, three-point sharp, passes quite thoughtfully, and the defensive end is really a little cold, but the performance of just 13 uses to average 6.6 assists per game is still amazing.

Allen Iverson needless to say, the power of the ball-carrying assault has diminished, but the mid-range shooting is becoming more accurate, and the feeling outside the three-point line is getting better and better.

Carmelo Anthony is also an old acquaintance of everyone, a triple threat, a picturesque attack, a well-developed arsenal, super firepower with no dead spots in the half, and that tempting (foggy) big ass.

Kenyon Martin barely played in the original timeline with an injury, and the former champion with a major knee injury was only 29 years old, and his focus and experience on the defensive end were steadily improving. If he stays healthy, the Nuggets' interior defense will add more than a notch.

Although Marcus Cambe won one of the most controversial DPOYs of all time, his help defense skills and blocking sense are something that no one can ignore.

And what is not very familiar to everyone is that Camby, who has a strange shooting posture like a catapult, actually has a very good passing skill, with an average of 3.2 assists per game is not eye-catching, but Camby also has the technique and vision to stand at the top of the arc and send an aerial relay pass, but he is limited by his lack of personal attacking ability, so he has not become a real axis of instigation in his career.

The bench is one of the Nuggets' toughest focuses, and sending Miller and Joe Smith away didn't hurt their roots.

J.R. Smith, who wrote "GettingAChickOrDieTrying" in the Life Motto section of his high school graduation handbook (barely translating into the famous advertising slogan: "Not in the girl. It's on the way to the sister") problem player, the physical fitness is extremely strong, and even he is afraid of himself when he feels good.

In the future, because of the high play disease, he will become the inner of the leftover old man, and the impact of a beast. He has both mid-range shooting and basket skills, as well as a good steal skill in the inside, and has the strength to be a starter on other teams.

Nahula, Kreza, and Diawara are three foreign players with all-round skills, all of whom can play at the No. 3 and No. 4 positions for a while, and are the Nuggets' cleaners, scorers, and liaisons in transition and garbage time.

Earl Boykins. The super little man who shocked the world because of a super high arc shot after a rebound, the shooting feel is excellent, the speed is like opening the gear gear, and a short body can even pass below the knee of the big man. The firepower of scoring 15 points in 28 minutes was even more terrifying than that of JR at that time, and it should not be underestimated.

Anthony Carter is 31 years old and has never been a star-caliber player, but this season he has 5.5 assists in 18 minutes in the Nuggets' "Carr-style offensive system". Yes, you read that right, I didn't play wrong, it's 5.5 assists in 18 minutes.

Other than that. Evans, the rebounding maniac that Chen Mu and Webb minded the most, although he has not yet become the real crazy man who reached out to Carman's nest later, his rebounding strength is terrifying enough.

7 rebounds in 17.1 minutes, sounds like a blast, doesn't it? Converted to 14.7 rebounds in 36 minutes, it seems that it is not far from Chen Mu.

But a few years later, the real idiot who came to Toronto grabbed 11.5 rebounds in 26.6 minutes, including four in the frontcourt. In the 12-13 season in Brooklyn, he grabbed 11.1 rebounds in 24.6 minutes. In 36 minutes, he averaged 15.6 and 16.3 rebounds per game in the past two years. In today's NBA, who else can earn a career salary of more than $30 million with just one rebound?

Looking at the advanced stats, Evans has a career rebounding rate of 21.9 so far (at the end of the 14-15 season) and a backcourt rebounding rate of 28.7.

As a contrast. RODMAN, WHO IS ALMOST UNIVERSALLY RECOGNIZED AS THE ALL-TIME NUMBER ONE REBOUNDER, HAS A CAREER REBOUNDING RATE OF 23.4 AND A BACKCOURT REBOUNDING RATE OF 29.6.

The gap is not too big, is it?

With such a gorgeous lineup, this season's Nuggets team includes two champions (Iverson, Martin). One pick (Camby), one Tanhua (Anthony), a first-round pick No. 6 (DeMar Johnson), and a No. 7 pick (Nene ).

As for Joe Smith, the 95-year-old champion who has been traded away and came to Philadelphia, it won't be counted!

Sitting on such a luxurious lineup, although the lineup is incomplete most of the time due to injuries and brawls, and the players also have their own flaws, the Nuggets only played a 45-37 record that season and ranked sixth in the West, and were sent to fishing by the Spurs 4-1 in the first round of the playoffs, which still makes fans can't help but want to say to the old coach Karl:

Don't make trouble, this is playing the NBA~!

"Now, the Nuggets after the trade have a luxurious lineup, but the record after that is not too good. Leaving aside the issue of possession between Allen and Carmelo for the time being, Martin and Camby are not solid in the middle distance, which also affects the breakthrough of the outside players to a certain extent. JR, Earl, and Nene can't always break out at the same time in the same game, what the hell is wrong with the Nuggets, Kenny, you know? ”

Buckley asked, putting the pizza to his lips and continuing to chew.

"The chemistry, the Nuggets' chemistry is still a bit problematic, the division of labor between offense and defense is not clear, and the players are a little too versatile, although it has brought a lot of changes to the tactics, but it has also led to chaos between different rounds, and it is difficult to continue a certain set tone throughout the game."

Kenny Smith's analysis is in place, and the Nuggets' problems can be seen by a fan, but if you can analyze it from the perspective of the "momentum" of the game, it still shows the overall thinking of professional players.

"So I said it."

Barkley nodded, muttering pizza in his mouth, and sent the miserable piece of pizza that had been gnawed to the camera again, and said in a strange tone of pretending to be a ghost: "The universe is a piece of pizza." ”

"From a young age. Everyone is a pizza, and the various organs of the body are the base, the cheese, the sausage, the green peppers, which are not well mixed with each other, and one of the ingredients is too much or too little. If it is overcooked or undercooked, the taste will not be right, and the human body will get sick with this piece of pizza. ”

"Or this studio, it's also a piece of pizza, and you and I are the ingredients. If I'm too thin, the picture will be empty and not good-looking, so for the sake of pizza, I have to make myself fatter, which is my work ethic. ”

Barkley shook his head without shame and said, "What about the team? Naturally, it is also a piece of pizza, the player is the ingredient, if the match is not good, the pizza will be unpalatable, what will the guests do? Phew, spit out. Then throw it away and find a good pizza to eat. ”

"Further up, society is pizza, cities are pizza, countries are pizza, the earth is pizza, and everything that is messy in the solar system and the galaxy is pizza."

As he spoke, Barkley swallowed the last small piece of pizza in one gulp, munched on it and continued, "The universe is a piece of pizza. ”

“…… Ahem...... Audience friends. We see that the players have started to warm up! ”

Ignoring Barkley's fallacies, Kenny Smith looked at the arena and exclaimed, "As you know, this game is in the middle of it. There will be a number of players in the squad of two teams that have just undergone a big trade to face their former clubs. What kind of performance will these players play, and will they be able to make their old club regret it? We'll see! ”

On the pitch.

“YO。”

With a call that was not too loud, Chen Mu, who had just cast a mid-shot, was stunned, and his head trembled as if it had been electrified.

This is Aaron's voice.

"Aaron."

Go back. The unruly thin figure appeared in front of Chen Mu's eyes, still the iconic ditch head and headband, still the cynical smile, and a pair of clear and translucent eyes that seemed to be able to see through people's hearts.

Alan Iverson, tilting his head slightly, stood in front of his former comrades.

"Long time no see."

Although his heart was turbulent, Chen Mu knew that this was the arena, and for a fighter like Aaron, the arena was the battlefield. In the middle of the battlefield, countless cameras are now focused on these two men, who represent the past and future of Philadelphia, and their every move will be recorded and broadcast around the world as the Internet grows stronger.

Suppressing the impulse in his heart, Chen Mu just smiled slightly, his head was also tilted to the side, and he stretched out a fist following Iverson's example.

“…… Hey. ”

Seeing Chen Mu's movements, Iverson was stunned at first, and then laughed out loud.

It seemed that half a century had passed, and Iverson finally stretched out his fist and lightly punched Chen Mu, everything was the same as before.

"Long time no see, brother......!"

The raucous arena, the fans cheering Allen home in the audience, the rest of the players from the two teams warming up, the referees communicating with each other, and the gags of Kenny Smith and Charles Barkley on the stage.

Everything is not so important at this moment.

Alan Iverson, son of Philadelphia, is back.

"Aaron!"

Not far away, another voice sounded, and without looking back, Chen Mu could tell that the person who was running quickly towards him and Iverson was Iguodala.

"Aaron! Alan! Alan! Alan! ”

At the same time, in the Vacovia Center Arena, a burst of shouts gradually rang out, and as the shouts became louder and louder, the shouts became more and more neat.

Fans know that it wasn't Iverson's fault that he left Philadelphia, and that the team's management had their own ideas that Iverson couldn't influence.

Fans know better that Iverson's departure is not Chen Mu and Iguodala's fault, although objectively, the Che-style bar incident seems to be the fuse, but after experiencing the initial anger, watching Chen Mu do his best on the away trip and win a good record for the team, those souls who once scolded Chen Mu finally returned to calm.

Right now, in the center of the Wajovia Center arena, the three men above the position of the 76ers logo are the past, present, and future of Philadelphia, the best embodiment of the Philadelphia 76ers' fighter and free spirit, the inheritor and promoter of the glory of Philadelphia's basketball, and the embodiment of basketball and competitive spirit.

"Andrei, Chen."

Looking happily at the two former younger brothers who had grown up rapidly and played the role of the backbone of Philadelphia, Iverson was full of emotion, and there were almost tears in his big eyes, and he suddenly reached out and grabbed the two.

"I really miss you ......"

The three of them hugged each other tightly, and no one knew what they said to each other.

What everyone saw was the Philadelphia fighter who rarely directly expressed the softness of his heart, but in today's game that was not very significant, he rarely showed his heart.

After hugging each other for a long time, the three reluctantly parted, and greeted Korver and other former teammates, Iverson turned to wave to the fans in thanks.

"Chen."

When everything finally calmed down a little and Chen Mu was about to continue warming up, Iverson's voice sounded again.

"I watched the footage of the first few games and played well."

Iverson regained his unruly look and said with a smile: "But today, you and I both know very well that I will beat your ass!" ”

“…… Ha ha! ”

Chen Mu also smiled when he heard this, stretched out his hand and gently beat his chest, and raised his head and said, "It's better to be careful of your own ass, Aaron, the Nuggets are determined to lose today!" ”

After saying these last words, the two looked at each other and smiled, each stretched out his hand to point at the other, and then simply turned his head, with a silent murderous aura on his face.

The battle of focus is about to begin. (To be continued.) )
