After Iverson arrived in San Francisco, the Warriors' uniform team first arranged for him to stay in the hotel, and then invited Nelson Sr. and Chamberlain to hold a press conference, at which Iverson held up the jersey that the team had prepared for him long ago - the Warriors No. 3 jersey.

The content of the press conference was similar to what reporters asked at the airport, and most of the people who came were local California media, all of whom were supporters of the Warriors, and who were most worried that Iverson's arrival with the Warriors would not only not strengthen the team, but would disrupt their locker room and tactical arrangements.

Allen Iverson's character is well-known in the world, unruly and free and loose is simply engraved in his bones, this guy didn't care about anyone except his mother Ann Iverson and God when he was young, which is also the ultimate reason why Larry Brown broke up with him, otherwise the pair of generals may not only enter the finals, but win the championship.

As at the airport, Iverson once again assured the purpose of his arrival, but the reporters were obviously puzzled by this, and some reporters directly gave the example of Iverson's elementary school days, showing that the kid was restless and had a criminal record.

The basketball education system in the United States is very perfect, there are state high school leagues in high schools, NCAA national games in colleges, and there are games in elementary school, which are also state games, but they are called 'tour games'.

Iverson was a great player in elementary school, especially in seventh grade, but even then he didn't make the varsity roster, and his head coach Williams was reluctant to make him on the roster for the four tour tournaments.

Back in the spring of Iverson's eighth grade, Williams and his assistant coaches had a heated debate about whether to give him a chance to play consistently well on the court, and his assistant coach Carroll was adamant about letting Iverson on the varsity team, and he had a good reason: "A guy who doesn't even participate in a training game wants to play a regular game?" ”

Fortunately, Williams also had an assistant coach named Bill Tosse, who was the only dissenting teacher at the time, and he had heard that Iverson was a "problem boy" and had heard from other coaches that the kid was destined to become another non-accomplished streetball player: there is no shortage of fleeting talents in basketball history, and they never realized their full potential, perhaps because they were unwilling to incorporate their improvisational style into the team, or because their future was ruined by poor grades, drugs, or crime. A lot of people think that Iverson is such a person.

But Tosse, who had tutored Iverson alone, knew that the boy was a good man, and asked Carol in an argument: "How could a lion cub go hunting with a jackal?" And he also defended Iverson, saying that every thirteen or fourteen-year-old should be given a chance to make amends.

Williams knew that Tosse was the softest of all the assistant coaches, and instead of taking the latter's advice, he selected another player, Rutland, into the first team. Williams has his own considerations for doing so, and Rutlan is good at long-range shooting, and his style of play is exactly what the team does with Reggie Evans. Williams believes Evans will be another star he brings out, and he will follow in the footsteps of Michael Reid and Alonzo Mourning - Reggie Evans has nothing to do with the Warriors' rebounding maniacs, just a name, Iverson alumnus Evans is a point guard, and when he was a senior at Granby High School, he was ranked as the No. 2 high school point guard in the nation after Jason Kidd, but he was hampered by injuries and poor academics, and he was reduced to a mediocre player in college.

But Evans couldn't play on the tour because of something, so Williams had to put Iverson on the roster, and then Iverson became famous: on the way to Memphis, Iverson chattered for 14 hours!

All the coaches hated Iverson who seemed to have ADHD, except for one person, and that was Bill Tosse, who saw the other side of Iverson, and that was that this kid was full of energy, and if he used it well, it was a battlefield weapon.

Sure enough, by the time Iverson stepped onto the court, all the coaches kept their mouths shut, and the kid led the team to the finals, only to be defeated by the Arkansas Wings, led by future NBA star Corliss Williamson, who was not famous in NBA history, but the team he led in high school was a famous powerhouse at the time.

At that time, the tour was played in the middle school competition, and the teams in the seventh, eighth and ninth grades played together with the high school teams, and the Flying Wings were the most famous, but Iverson was not intimidated by the name of his opponents, and he killed Williamson as soon as he won the ball, and after the game he was named in the best team of the tournament, and his team lifted the runner-up trophy.

The reporter mentioned the past of Iverson when he was a teenager, Chamberlain didn't know that there was such a thing before, so he listened to it with relish, Iverson was also smiling, this reporter was very eloquent, restored many scenes of the year, Iverson did not answer his question head-on, but smiled:

"I remember complaining about something in the car, the classic car we were in was so bad, and I asked Coach Williams why Mourning didn't buy a school bus for the school when he entered the NBA. I promised him that I would give him a school bus when I got to the NBA, and no one believed me, so when I actually took the bus to school, a lot of the old guys were stunned. ”

Iverson's calm tone infected several reporters, and old Nelson looked at Chamberlain and said, "Actually, this matter is very famous, don't you know the truth?" ”

Chamberlain shook his head, and the elder Nelson explained: "After the game, Iverson and Williams' team set out on their way home, and shortly after the car drove out, Allen pulled the window and threw the trophy out, and everyone was terrified, do you know what he said in the face of the coach's roar? 'We don't go home with a runner-up trophy, that's not what we're here for!' ”

Hearing this, Chamberlain gasped, Iverson is really a hard bone!

"So I believe Allen's words, he's coming to the Warriors this time, and he's willing to do anything to win a championship." After speaking to Chamberlain, the elder Nelson shook Iverson's hand, and then said firmly, "I believe that everything Allen says, you don't need to question it, he will be a huge help to this team!" ”

That being said, but the old Nelson has been very worried for the next few days, how to use Iverson?

For a team, playmaking is the playmaker and the master, so it takes much longer to change playmaking than switching to other positions, and now Iverson will have to play playmaking for a while because of Billups' ankle injury. In addition, the more complex the team's tactics and the more dependent they are on the whole, the greater the impact of changing playmaking defenders. For the Warriors, their original playmaker Chauncy Billups is a typical playmaking point guard, and the new point guard Iverson is a breakaway point guard, and the difference between the two is very significant.

Taking some of Iverson's stats from the Nuggets, before the AI came to the Nuggets, in the 206-07 season, the Nuggets' five positional efficiency values on the court (the league average was 15) were: 17 point guards. 8, 17 point guards. 6, small forward 24. 7, power forward 17. 6, center 18. 0。 In comparison, the difference between this and the opponent is all positive, with the biggest advantage being the small forward, who has an efficiency net win of +8. 4, the location is Anthony, so everything is fine.

But after Iverson arrived, the Nuggets' five positional efficiency values on the court the following season were: 16 point guards. 9, 14 point guards. 8, small forward 19. 3, power forward 17. 5, center 17. 8。 There are three positions with negative points in the difference with opponents, which are point guards, and the efficiency difference is -0. 6. Power forward with an efficiency difference of -1. 1, center, efficiency difference of -0. 1。 Only the efficiency differential between the shooting guard and the small forward remained positive, but the small forward had a net win of just 5. 8, therefore, the combination of the golden double gun is a failure, not only not a win-win but a lose-lose.

However, there is no doubt about AI's ability to become a superstar, in fact, according to the data, AI is not a hero in his twilight, but in an inappropriate position. Based on the 48-minute template, Iverson has an efficiency value of 18 when playing point guard. 8, the effective hit rate is 42. 0%； And when playing at shooting guard, Iverson's efficiency value soared to 33. 5. The effective hit rate is 71. 4%。 It was clear that Iverson's offense was more helpful to the team than the organization.

But let Iverson play the score, then he is too short, the offense is okay, and the defense is easy to be blown into a sieve by the opponent.

The Iverson trade was big news for the NBA, but the impact of the news didn't last long, and the NBA news kept going on these days.

On the second day of the trade between the Warriors and the Nuggets, the Warcraft Dwight Howard led the New Jersey Nets, with the resentment of the Warriors' double kill, Howard couldn't find Chamberlain for revenge so he vented his hatred on the latter's compatriot Yi Jianlian, who bullied no one on the Nets that day, and rushed and killed 30+20+10.

Just one day later, another terrifying statistic was born: the Miami Heat sat at the American Airlines arena to face the Toronto Raptors, and the game was surprisingly close, and Dwyane Wade's stats were even more jaw-dropping: Wade scored 40 points on 16-of-30 shooting, in addition to 11 assists and five blocks.

Such 40 (points) + 10 (assists) + 5 (blocks) data has not been seen in the American men's professional basketball league for 31 years. In fact, after the block statistics appeared, there was only one appearance, and Alvin Adams of the Phoenix Suns scored 47 points, 12 assists and 5 blocks on February 22, 1977.

Wade's 40 points and 11 assists were season highs, and his career-high five blocks made the home crowd boil, and Raptors coach Sam Mitchell exclaimed incredible: "Dwyanne couldn't believe how many difficult shots he made." ”

However, if you expand the range, simply look at 40 + 10 + 5 and don't look at '10' is an assist or a rebound, then it is not worth it, Chamberlain has cut 40 + 10 + 5 four times since he entered the league, of which there are 40 + 20 + 5.

The previous news is a good thing, whether it is a trade or a record, but the Rockets' experience is more unlucky, after the Rockets' 86-96 loss to the Mavericks yesterday, the mediocre Maddie is actually secretly laughing.

It happened 47 seconds after the fourth quarter, with the Rockets trailing by seven points, and when ESPN's camera swept to Maddie, all Houston fans and Rockets fans across the United States were going crazy, and they actually saw their superstar not angry about the defeat, but snickering. Barkley, who was in the studio at the time, was unsparing in pointing out that Maddie did not deserve the title of superstar, because no superstar in the league would smile at failure.

The most important reason why Michael Jordan can become a god on the basketball court is that he has a deep hatred of failure, and now Kobe Bryant has grown step by step from a No. 13 pick to the first active player because of this, the authoritative American basketball magazine "SLAM" wrote: Among the players in the league, at least 10 are physically stronger than Kobe, but no one is better than him. Have you ever seen Kobe Bryant or Jordan smile at an opponent when they are about to lose a game? Absolutely nothing!

In fact, it's nothing to laugh when you lose, maybe the players just remembered a joke at the time, but Maddie was unlucky, and the game was broadcast live in the United States, and fans across the United States saw it.

Fran Billingberry, a senior reporter for the Houston Chronicle, the official media of the Rockets, angrily called Maddie a "soft egg without a backbone", which shows how bad Maddie is now, you let the San Francisco media scold Chamberlain, and it is strange that the fans did not burn down their office buildings, but in Houston, no one objected to the excessive rhetoric of the "Houston Chronicle", but many people agreed.

The American media, represented by the Houston Chronicle, began to call for the complete dismantling of the MM group. The Houston Chronicle angrily rebuked Maddie: "If you want to fight, fight well, play hard." If you can't play well, just go down and rest! ESPN columnists have written that instead of continuing to test the MM combination like this, the rocket should quickly cut through the mess, dismantle the MM combination, and reorganize with Yao Ming as the core.

In fact, judging from the performance of the two in the new season——— Maddy averaged 15 per game. Nine points is the lowest since the 1999-2000 season, and the 39 percent shooting percentage is a career low. Yao Ming, who is plagued by a foot injury, also averages only 16 per game. With 9 points, the MM combination is no longer the most offensive duo in the league——— inferior to Kobe and Gasol, not as good as Howard and Turkglou, or even as good as Chamberlain in a single state.

This scene is really embarrassing.
