Coming to the court early, Chen Mu warmed up with a group of marginal players of the team, preparing for the upcoming game.

Hitting jump shots again and again, Chen Mu kept looking for his feel and rhythm, but what he was thinking about was another thing.

After the game against Washington, the 76ers returned home with the last chance of life for the rest of the game.

Although the team tried their best, especially Iverson and Chen Mu, there seemed to be some kind of wonderful tacit understanding between the two, and they showed 120% of their spirit, and they fought until the last moment in every game.

Unfortunately, due to the difference in strength, the 76ers still lost two games, and even if they can beat the visiting Bucks in today's game, the team will not be able to advance to the playoffs.

After this match, the Wachovia Center will have a long period of emptiness.

However, the loss did not wear out the fighting spirit of Chen Mu and Iverson, and the rest of the players more or less relaxed from the moment they lost the first game, and they no longer gave their best anymore.

But Chen Mu and Iverson still gritted their teeth and persevered, fighting every game, as if this game was the last game of their lives, which made some teammates feel puzzled.

"What happened to Aaron and Chen? Obviously can't make the playoffs, what if you lose a few games and drop a little in the rankings? You can also fight for a better pick in the draft! ”

One of the fringe players whispered a discussion in practice, which was heard by Iverson, who didn't say a word at the rookie who was much taller than him.

Seeing the commotion, Chen Mu stepped forward, and after hearing about the situation, not only did he not persuade him, but he did it with Iverson. In the end, it was Iguodala and Hunter who showed up, and it was not easy to pull a few people apart.

"Am I wrong?! Apart from you two victory maniacs, who else in the team is so desperate?? It's clear that you can't make the playoffs, so wouldn't it be nice to relax a little bit and better prepare for next season? I really can't figure it out, if you win more than you win, you lose more, what's there to fight for! ”

After being persuaded to leave, the rookie was also annoyed and angry, and scolded Chen Mu and Iverson, almost causing the two to come forward impulsively again.

"What a team of neurotics! Such a guy can also be the core? Such a guy can also be a pillar of the future? It's just inexplicable! Do you really think you're the king of Philadelphia? ”

THE PLAYER, NAMED DUNGAY, WAS SIGNED BY THE TEAM FROM FREE AGENCY AT THE BEGINNING OF THE SEASON, AN UNDERSIZE CENTER WITH A THREE-POINT RANGE.

But after the start of the season, he was sent to the NBDL by the team, and was not recalled until the end of the season and made the squad.

Before returning to the NBA, Dungay was full of joy and thought that the team had no hope of making the playoffs and would definitely not let the main players play for too long.

But after coming to the team, he found that although most of the players in the team were somewhat slack, the core of the team, Iverson, and the super sixth man, Chen Mu, were full of fighting spirit.

The team's boss and first-year rookie did not give up the game, and the rest of the players were embarrassed to be too explicit and did their best to play after they came on the court.

But in this way, Dungay's long-awaited playing time is gone, and in the last ten days of the schedule, a total of four games, he only played two games, with a total time of less than five minutes.

"If I can't play more and show my strength, I'm afraid there will be no team to ask me next year......!"

This uneasiness gradually turned into dissatisfaction, and Dungay's dissatisfaction had nowhere to vent, and finally transferred to the two men.

"It's all to blame on Iverson and the Chinese kids! If they hadn't worked so hard, the coach would have asked me to play more games without thinking about their feelings and keep them there! ”

The dissatisfaction with Iverson and Chen Mu gradually turned into a trace of resentment, especially for Chen Mu, a competitor who overlapped with his position, Deng Gai's heart was full of resentment.

This conflict on the training ground directly turned the resentment in Dungay's heart into anger, and he began to attack the entire team, especially Iverson and Chen Mu.

"If my career ends here, my basketball dreams will be shattered. And all this...... It's all caused by Chinese kids! ”

Dungay's mentality was distorted, and he blamed everything on Chen Mu, and before the last regular season game began, he went to Bilikin to explain the situation, and then left the team.

"You're still a bad team next year, and with this core and future pillar, the 76ers will always be a bad team. You remember for me, I will definitely come back to the NBA, become a star player, and then stomp on the 76ers, who are still a bad team, so that you will never be able to turn over! ”

After tidying up the dressing room, Dungay returned to the training pitch and spoke to the players. At the end, he specially came to Chen Mu, who was deflated by Iguodala's comfort, pointed at the latter's nose and said, "Especially you, Chinese boy, don't regret what you did today...... then!" ”

With these words, Dungay turned around and left the training ground, and left the Philadelphia 76ers, where he went.

Fortunately, Iguodala was on the side, and Chen Mucai did not step forward to cause trouble again.

This episode did not bring any substantial loss to the team, even if Dungay went to the media to expose that he was beaten by Chen Mu and Iverson, the team would definitely choose to help the registered players for crisis public relations.

Without video evidence, and no one else to corroborate, this kind of thing will become some kind of legend like Garnett playing a rookie, and it won't have much impact.

But the team's morale was somewhat shaken.

"Why should I work as hard as they do?"

Many marginal players have such questions in their hearts.

Now that the news has spread across the city, Iverson, the son of Philadelphia, could be traded away the next offseason.

Philadelphia native Salmons, an important backup on the team, is also out of contract, and he has long shown the idea of leaving the team after the 76ers have not been reused, and if nothing else, he will also move to another club after the offseason.

As a result, next year's 76ers are bound to be even weaker, and the only thing that can be counted on is the combination of Chen Mu and Iguodala, as well as the growth of players such as Korver and Louis Williams.

In the next few seasons, no matter whether the team makes a big trade or not, the core will definitely be Iguodala and Chen Mu, and it will be very difficult for the rest of the players to be reused.

In such a situation, is it really necessary to give it your all in every game?

Before the final regular season game, the 76ers seemed calm, but in fact they were stormy and unstable.

"Chen, come early enough~"

Iguodala's shouts pulled Chen Mu out of these irritating thoughts, and when he looked back, in addition to Iguodala, several other players were also present to start their respective warm-up exercises.

"Still thinking about Dungay?"

Seeing that Chen Mu had something on his mind, Iguodala said: "That kind of small role, the level of you in the future is completely different, there is no need to bother too much about his words." ”

"I know, I'm not worried about his business."

Chen Mu raised his head and sighed, looked at the empty stands around him and said, "I'm just a little confused, I don't know if I should continue to stay here." ”

Hearing Chen Mu's words, Iguodala was stunned, his face instantly became a little lonely, his mouth opened, he still didn't speak, he reached out and patted Chen Mu's shoulder, and then walked to the side to train himself.

Soon after, players from both sides showed up to warm up, and there were more and more fans in the arena, and the final feast of the season for Philadelphia fans was about to begin.

In the stands, from time to time, fans pointed fingers at Chen Mu and Iverson, Chen Mu knew that many media have begun to hype rumors about Iverson's whereabouts recently, and Philadelphia fans must have seen it.

Some people even think that because Iverson's style of play and Chen Mu's style of play both require a certain degree of ball holding, both of them have problems in defense, and it is difficult to coexist well. Extreme critics even said that "Iverson has affected the growth of Chinese kids", believing that the 76ers should trade Iverson as soon as possible to make room and ball for the growth of Chen Mu and Iguodala.

"How many of the players around Allen really played the best performance of their careers? Not much, right? Aaron isn't really a creator or a traditional team player, and it's really hard for a newcomer to grow around him. Look at Salmons, who hasn't scored in double figures for four seasons in a row, why? Because he's by Aaron's side! ”

The experts who are afraid that the world will not be chaotic have made a big statement, which has caused many Philadelphia fans to be somewhat affected.

On the Internet, some Philadelphia fans began to discuss whether to keep Chen Mu or Iverson, as if the two were a pair of irreconcilable contradictions.

"The fans on the sidelines are definitely also discussing who goes and who stays."

Looking at the pointing of the fans on the sidelines, Chen Mu sighed slightly and said to himself: "For them, Arun is a totem and a symbol, I'm afraid they want me to leave even more......"

In the midst of his thoughts, the stadium gradually filled up, and the opening ceremony was as usual, and when the DJ introduced Iverson, the audience suddenly erupted in thunderous applause and cheers.

“AI！ STAY！！！ ”

Many fans shouted, and the sound quickly formed a wave of sound, and even the DJ's voice was drowned out and spread throughout the stadium.

“AI！ STAY！！ ”

At the end of the opening ceremony, the lights came on, and Chen Mu, who was sitting on the bench, looked up, only to see that the fans in the stadium took out countless banners and slogans out of nowhere, all of which were marked with one word without exception:

STAY！

"Sure enough, they still want to keep Aaron."

Chen Mu smiled bitterly, looked at the center of the court, and saw that Iverson was also moved by this scene, and rarely ran around the court, waving to the fans. A close-up picture is shown on the big screen in the center, and Iverson's big eyes seem to have tears flashing, and his mouth keeps saying "THANK you".

Should I stay?

If any offer is matched according to Billikin's meaning, then Chen Mu must stay.

But in such a situation, will the fans agree with me and accept me?

At the end of the day, the 76ers are still Iverson's team, and I'm just a rookie with a lot of ups and downs and good potential.

In Chen Mu's chaotic thoughts, the game began.

What Chen Mu didn't expect was that about fifteen minutes later, he would see a scene that he would never forget.
