PS. Present today's update, by the way, pull a vote for the "starting point" 515 fan festival, everyone has 8 votes, and the vote will also give the starting point coin, kneel and beg everyone to support and appreciate!

"Have you thought about it?"

Chen Mu's question was asked, and everyone stopped what they were doing.

Iguodala was just about to pick up a backpack when she was stunned when she heard the question, and suddenly turned around and looked at Iverson with concern.

Korver was just about to pour a glass of water for Iverson to drink, but when he heard this question, he stopped and looked at Iverson slightly.

Carney was immersed in the joy of seeing his idol again one second, and his expression changed the next second, looking extremely serious.

Lowry's reaction was the greatest, and perhaps the Philadelphia master who would be most affected by Iverson's return simply walked directly to Chen Mu's side and looked at Iverson with Chen Mu, with a look of uncertainty in his eyes, not knowing what he was thinking.

"That incident" naturally refers to the starters and substitutes.

Iverson accepts a bench role, and Philadelphia can solve two major problems. The scoring points of the bench, as well as the three-pointers of the bench, will go from the bottom of the league to the top of the league.

And if Iverson does not accept the substitute role, no matter how big the impact is on tactics, whether it is the team or Chen Mu himself, they must respect Iverson's meaning. Even if he is just a fake starter, he has to let the team's former boss start.

This adjustment will not only completely disrupt the offensive and defensive system that Carlisle has built for Philadelphia through a year of hard work. It will also greatly affect Lowry's personal emotions, and bring great resistance to future recruitment, drafts, trades, and other work.

The reason is simple, having an unruly former superstar like Iverson as the starting point guard means that all the players have to follow Iverson's wishes to some extent.

Even now, Iverson is no longer the stunned young man who is not afraid of heaven and earth. I also know how to get along with my teammates and how to cater to the team as much as possible. The baptism of time has made Iverson understand a lot of truths and know how to maximize his role. How to find a balance between his maverick personality and the team's style of play, Iverson will definitely do better than before.

But Iverson is Iverson because of his character.

If Iverson is not rebellious, can he still be regarded as the answer on the basketball court?

In a certain game, Iverson suddenly came to the senses, after scoring consecutive points. When you start to enter the mode of self-exclusivity.

Chen Mu and them, will they not cooperate with him, do not give him the ball, do not let him play singles, and do not let him score points with his already not very smart pull-up jump shot?

These are all problems, they are all problems that cannot be avoided, and they are all key points that need to be solved.

A little bit of it, then a little bit of it. Iverson could have accepted a substitute role. Then all the problems will be solved:

Lowry can continue to be a starter and feel comfortable playing a full year for the team.

The bench of Korver and Iverson will be one of the most fearsome bench firepower in the NBA.

Even though there were some problems on the defensive end, the wings Carney and Thaddeus Young on the bench. Both have good physicality and defensive willingness, and can solve defensive problems for Iverson and Korver. Jordan Jr. and Evans on the inside are both defensive giants, leaving Iverson and Korver to waste. Both of these rebounding maniacs can get their hands on the rebounding ball.

Thinking about it further, with such a bench, Philadelphia no longer has to worry about the problem of "filling the hole with the main force of the substitute" that often occurred before. In the regular season stage. The main players can contribute more efficient offensive and defensive performances with less playing time. Not only can it reduce the physical wear and tear of players, but also reduce the probability of its occurrence similar to the dilemma of injuries to Korver and Chen Mu in the playoffs.

And then there's the draft, and if all goes well, Philadelphia can find a way to get over that hurdle......

Philadelphia will form a very formidable starter-bench lineup, from the starting five to the bench seven, a 12-man squad that can contribute a full 48 minutes of offensive frenzy.

With the 76ers' already good defense, the road to the king next season will start from this moment.

And if Iverson doesn't accept the role of a substitute, all of the above will come to naught. Team chemistry is broken, the locker room is smoky, and everyone has their own little thoughts and ideas in their hearts.

The Road to Kings? At that time, I am afraid that it will become a castle in the air, and it will become the biggest joke in the sports circle of this century, and it will be ridiculed for decades. How many years later, when someone talks about a mediocre trade in NBA history, welcoming back Iverson will become one of the most typical cases, being taken out and whipped repeatedly.

The answer is in the mouth of the answer, in the heart of Iverson's thoughts, that's all.

"I've figured it out."

After a long wait, when Lowry was about to overwhelm the high-intensity load of his heart and was ready to simply go to the door to breathe some fresh air.

Iverson spoke.

"I've got it figured out, brothers."

Iverson sat at the coffee table, his eyes looking at the ground, the eyes that once belonged to the god of war, the glory of the past had faded, and what was left was a kind of indifference.

This indifference Chen Mu has seen, in last year's Olympic Games, Chen Mu saw this indifference.

On Wang Zhizhi, who also experienced wind and frost and washed away the lead.

"Listen, Philadelphia is my home, Wachovia is my home, the 76ers are my home, and you are my family."

As usual, Iverson did not answer the question directly, but babbled on what was in his mind.

This is Iverson's personal style, coming from the streets, he may not be good at expressing himself, or he may use unruliness to hide the fragile heart that belongs to the slums.

The strong survive, the tattoo on Iverson's arm, is now being gently rubbed by the answer with his other hand.

This is the law of survival in the slums, and it is also the law of survival on the basketball court, and it is the last reliance to support this dwarf giant to survive in the NBA, the world's most terrible basketball palace.

He could roar, he could shout, he could reach out and listen to the tsunami-like cheers of Mount Vavia.

But let him speak his mind, the decision he made to bow his head in front of the years. But it's just too difficult, too difficult.

"I can do anything for the sake of my family. You know, my father left me when I was very young, and my adoptive father went to prison when I was 15 years old. I have a whole bunch of brothers, and I told them when I was a kid that if they stood up for me and fought my way through the slums, I would do anything for them. ”

As he spoke, Iverson raised his eyes to look at Chen Mu and said affectionately, "For you." I'm willing to do the same. ”

"So the answer is ......"

Chen Mu's heartbeat began to accelerate.

"I do."

Iverson looked up suddenly, his eyes as clear as a trickle.

What flows out of this is courage.

"It doesn't matter if it's a sixth man, or a substitute, or a scout, or a sparring partner, or a driver, or a caddy. Hand over towels and cups, carry buckets and buy popcorn......"

Courage is not just about daring to face powerful enemies, even when facing ancient beasts. The brave who also strides forward and challenges with an iron fist.

"For the Philadelphia 76ers, for you...... I'm willing to do anything! ”

Courage also belongs to those who already know their fate. I know my limits, and I know that my destiny is about to be changed, and everything has to be rewritten. But he still bravely raised his head and faced the cruel journey.

"Accept me, my brothers! I came back here to help you, to guide you, to do for you what you don't want to do. Whatever you want me to do, whatever the coach or you ask me to do, even if you ask me to carry Shaq, I'm willing to ......!!! ”

Alan Iverson, Survival of the Brave.

“…… Alan! ”

Chen Mu couldn't hold back the throbbing in his heart anymore, stretched out his hand, and hugged Iverson tightly.

"This time, I've said a lot."

Chen Mu said in Iverson's ear.

"I heard it, and as soon as I looked at the headline, I knew it had to be you."

Iverson smiled and nodded.

"I said this time next year, we're going to get to the finals and we're going to win the O'Brien Cup."

Chen Mu burst into tears and smiled, reaching out to pat Iverson's back.

"Count me in, then."

Iverson pulled back and stretched out a fist at Chen Mu.

"I'm old, I can't run, I can't make a layup, I can't shoot accurately, don't blame me when the time comes."

"Haha, when did you shoot accurately? If it weren't for the HAND-CHECK cancellation, you wouldn't have been able to hit 45% in your life! Chen Mu laughed.

“…… ROOKIE，ONE-ON-ONE？ ”

Iverson's face changed, his fighting spirit burned, the corners of his mouth smiled, and he smiled at Chen Mu: "I've only been gone for a few years? Have you forgotten the fear of being ruled by me? ”

"Now I'm not afraid of you, I'm fat, first fat is not fat, and then fat overwhelms Kang." Chen Mu nodded proudly.

"Isn't it just an MVP, a scoring champion, and a burst!" Iverson got up, picked up the basketball in Chen Mufang's room, and played with it in his hand: "I have a lot more honor than you, and I still have the steal king, do you have it?" ”

"I have 10,000 times more rebounds than you, honors and other things, you can continue to accumulate!" Chen Mu also got up, Iverson passed the ball over, Chen Mu took the ball and started it, and the wonderful dynamic was transmitted, making him extremely eager to shoot: "Moreover, this time next year, we will be playing in the finals, I will win the FMVP, then I will press you." ”

“…… Ha, FMVP? I don't have much hope of getting it, but don't be complacent, the guy next to you might steal your limelight! Iverson smiled and pointed to Iguodala beside Chen Mu.

“…… Yes...... Yes?? ”

Iguodala looked confused, causing everyone to laugh.

This afternoon, in a tiny rental house in Philadelphia, the answer returned.

Philadelphia 76ers, the road to kings, open ......!
