Basketball injuries only make me stronger

Chapter 298 Integration
(Thank you for the rewards from those brothers these days. I got a booster shot today, and I feel dazed, and my head is still hurting. Do you have any side effects from the vaccine? The one I got, the adenovirus vaccine, is really sour... I read everyone’s comments, thank you!)

Lian Feng watched the press conference on TV.

Iverson, who arrived in New Orleans, had to accept the siege of the news media.

But this time, Allen Iverson on TV looked very calm.

"Hi Alan!"

Iverson just nodded slightly.

"How does it feel to be here?"

"Well, to be honest, it's a bit humid here. I'm still getting used to it. But it won't be for long."

"What is the reason that made you make this decision? We heard that you paid a lot to get free."

Iverson thought for a while, "There is no particular reason, I want to get a championship, in the last period of my career."

His speech remained straightforward and unabashed.

The reporter's question became sharper: "We heard a saying from the outside world that you joined the Hornets as an act of reporting."

Iverson laughed disdainfully.Of course he has seen and heard such remarks. He stared at the reporter and said, "Really, interesting statement. Do you think I am here to hug my thighs? No, you are wrong, and this kind of statement is also very wrong! I will prove it to you."

"One more question, what do you expect from this team?"

"Undoubtedly, anticipation is the championship. I haven't participated in team training, but as you can see, here is the best coach Rick Adelman, the most stable marksman in the league Korver, mid-range killer David West, and a group of very good rookies, such as Mark, Samuel, and Jeff Green. Although they are young, they are full of potential. I will teach them how to win..."

After a pause, Iverson continued: "Also, the best swingman in the league today, you know who I'm talking about. He was injured, a major injury, but I believe he will survive. And what I have to do is before he comes back. Bring this team into the playoffs!"

Seeing this, Lian Feng turned off the TV.

It has to be said that time has worn away a lot of the sharpness of this most rebellious man in the league.But deep down, he is still the proud answer.He'll tell you that he accepts where he is and that this is someone else's team.

But he will never admit that he is hugging his thigh, he is the thigh!Just as he absolutely does not accept playing as a substitute, this stubbornness will not be lost anyway.

Lian Feng felt relieved.

He believes that with such Iverson, they will be able to survive until their return.

……

After finishing the interview, Iverson arrived at the hospital to visit Lian Feng.

The guy in front of him was no longer what he had imagined.

Of course Iverson still remembers the first time he met him, the heads-up match.Time flies, and he has become a superstar with all kinds of glory, reaching the pinnacle that he couldn't reach even when he was at his pinnacle.

"Man, you don't look good."

Iverson said with a humorous tone.

Lian Feng shrugged helplessly: "Yes, yes. I think everyone can see that I'm terrible."

"So I've come to save you."

"This script is really nasty."

"Ha ha ha ha."

The two joked for a while, and their expressions gradually became serious.After being silent for a while, Iverson asked Lian Feng for the first time: "Dude, do you have any advice for me?"

Lian Feng was slightly taken aback, he didn't expect Iverson to ask such a question.Looking at Iverson again, I saw a deep obsession in his eyes, as if he had bet everything on his fearlessness.

Lian Feng was shocked.

After being silent for a while, Lian Feng said: "Korver's defensive quality is not high, but his three-point threat is even higher than Ray Allen. David West is a very mature guy. Did you know that he understands philosophy? Many times, he can give surprising advice."

"Mark Gasol, believe me, his potential is definitely not worse than his brother who is killing all directions in Los Angeles! He has the potential to become a dpoy in the penalty area."

"Ibaka, that boy from Africa, you've already seen him. All he lacks is experience. And Jeff Green, that guy can contribute well both offensively and defensively. As long as he is in a suitable position, the Thunder completely wastes his talent."

"My advice is...you trust them and teach them confidence, that's it."

After a pause, Lian Feng said earnestly: "There is one more suggestion... that is to trust Adelman. He is a very calm coach, and his presence is at the textbook level. Finally... I wish you a happy life in the Hornets!"

Iverson nodded, something burning in his eyes, that thing made Lian Feng suddenly, as if the answer in 01.

……

Adelman's original worry was also dispelled.

Iverson participated in the team training after returning to the team, even earlier than everyone else.

On the training ground, he even worked harder than others.He kept applauding on the court, communicating with others, and then shared some of his experiences.It can be seen that he is trying to integrate into this team.

really work hard.

And Iverson has a group of younger brothers, those guys also came here with Iverson, they were allowed to enter here, but no one made trouble.

It can be seen that both Iverson himself and his younger brothers clearly know what this season means to him.

very good.

Of course, Adelman is still thinking.He hasn't found a way how to make Iverson play to his strengths.

The next period of waiting for Lianfeng will be very difficult.To get through this difficult time, tactics must be designed around Iverson's characteristics.

There is no doubt that he is the core.

He'll get what George Sheehan promised him: respect, superstar treatment, blah blah blah.

But there is one thing to be happy about. This Hornets team may be the most suitable team for Iverson today, unlike the 76ers and Nuggets he once stayed in.

If Iverson doesn't feel good, or if he encounters an opponent with strong offense and mediocre defense, then let Ibaka and Jeff Green play. This lineup will bring the ultimate defensive pressure. Even if Iverson's defense is poor, his teammates can make up for it.

If Iverson feels hot or the opponent's defense is strong and the offense is weak, then let Korver and David West play, and the containment ability of the two will instantly make Iverson play more freely.

Both lineups are very suitable for Iverson.

No one here will compete with him for the ball, and even on the contrary, everyone will support him to go it alone, and even double-team him!

After thinking about it, it's an interesting fate. It seems that no team needs a player like Iverson as desperately as the Hornets.

And no player needed a Hornets team as badly as Iverson did.

It's so complementary.

Coincidence?
Fate.

if everything goes well……

I hope the plot of this season is: the bottom team plus a legend at the end, but deduces a soul-stirring season journey.
