Basketball injuries only make me stronger

Chapter 49 Extravagant Iverson

A while before the game, Cheeks seriously analyzed the opponent's strength with the players, and the results were not optimistic.

Cheeks' analysis is very comprehensive, starting from the team's management.

The task of the management is very important. They must not only purchase players to form a lineup, but also stimulate their potential according to their characteristics.

The Rockets' manager at this time is Dawson, and Morey will never have the opportunity to replace him in this time and space.

Dawson met almost all the requirements of head coach Van Gundy.

Van Gundy's favorite players have basically been exchanged, so if the Rockets can't make a breakthrough this season, it will be difficult for him to explain to the team management.

Lian Feng was very excited when he heard the news that Morey was killed.Not only for that reason, but also the butterfly effect that may prolong Yao Ming's career.

Why do you say that?

It has to be said that Yao Ming has caught up with a good era at this time.An era without Morey.

As far as Lian Feng knew, in fact, Morley put aside his character, he was actually a very shrewd manager.He is very proficient in digital analysis, and his greatest specialty is risk control. There are almost no junk contracts in his hands.He can keep the team's finances at a healthy level.The price is that the team configuration is not reasonable enough, which seriously damages Yao Ming's body.

Many people blamed Van Gundy for overusing Yao Ming.

In fact, since Morey took over the next season, the Rockets started a series of dizzying operations, saving costs for the team while also forcing Yao Ming to take on more, which is also one of the reasons for the excessive use of Yao Ming.

Well, now Morey is gone, and it will take several years for Alexander to sell the Rockets. It can be said that the Rockets in this period are the national team of China.

Of course, this is not a good thing for the 76ers.

Because the Rockets are currently very strong in every position.

Needless to say, the center, although Yao Ming underwent left ankle bone spur removal surgery in July this year, he returned to Houston in August to start preparing for his fourth NBA season, apparently looking fine.On the bench sits Uncle Mu, who is not yet old. Although he is old, his body is in good condition, he runs nimbly, and he is skilled in blocking shots.

The power forward, Swift, does not have a strong scoring ability, but because of Yao Ming's super scoring ability, he does not need to score. In terms of defense and rebounding ability, Swift performed amazingly.

Small forward Tracy McGrady needless to say.

Shooting guard Anderson and point guard Alston are inferior to the 76ers, but their task is only to hand the ball to Yao Ming and McGrady, and they are not inferior to the 76ers' backcourt in terms of defense.

The point is, the atmosphere in their locker room is still very good.

McGrady was full of passion before the start of the season: "Texas fans are so great. If I had to choose, I really hope I can play here from the beginning. Everyone is great. This is a great city!"

Lian Feng thought to himself, greatness is greatness... It's a pity that you only played more than 1994 games this season, otherwise the Rockets really have the potential to compete for the championship this season: internal unity, reasonable lineup, just like the red team in [-].

Cheeks cheered everyone up and dealt with this game seriously.After the meeting, Iverson laughed: "Okay, okay, it doesn't matter! We will beat them!"

Iverson is always like this, no matter who the opponent is, he will inspire his teammates and inspire the army.

……

Two days before the start of the preseason, the team stopped training.They started to rest and waited for work at home, ready to meet Yao Mai's challenge.

Americans have an indescribable obsession with the game.The preseason may not be very popular in other places, but the competition city will not be too low. The local media has also begun to play up the first confrontation between the two teams this season, and there are messages about Yao Ming and Tracy McGrady everywhere.

Although Lian Feng, a rookie, is very confident, it is impossible not to be nervous in this situation.

This nervousness is transformed into excitement.

……

On the rest day, Iverson invited Lian Feng to a party.

Lian Feng hesitated and agreed.

Iverson's parties are notoriously extravagant, and not everyone is eligible to attend.

Logically speaking, the game was about to start, and Lian Feng really shouldn't go out to have a good time.But not everyone takes a preseason game as seriously as he does.This is the first time the team boss invited him, and it would be bad if he refused.

And... Lian Feng is also very curious about what kind of parties in the United States are like, and what kind of Iverson, a famous extravagant person, is like.

However, Lian Feng saw Iverson's extravagance before he even went to the party.

Since there is no car, Iverson stopped by the front to go to the party.

Iverson honked his horn furiously downstairs in the apartment building, causing many people to shout out of the windows.Lamborghini's car windows cannot see inside, and Iverson completely ignored those dissatisfied people.

Lian Feng got off with a bit of a headache and got into the car.

Iverson said: "Dude, you should really buy a car. Or else, when we go over, this car will be given to you."

Lian Feng was shocked on the spot, his head was a little out of order: "Huh?"

Iverson stepped on the accelerator to the bottom, the accelerator roared, and the cushion of the sports car hit his back all of a sudden, which instantly made Lian Feng's heart beat faster.

Iverson laughed loudly: "Man, you don't even have a sports car?"

Lian Feng looked at Iverson innocently.

Iverson smiled: "Also, the place you live in is really bad. I suggest you buy a better place, it won't cost much."

Lian Feng just laughed dryly: "It's very close to the training hall, I like it here."

When it came to training, Iverson's expression became a little more serious: "By the way, buddy, I discussed it with Cheeks, and you will be Andre's substitute."

"Ok?"

"Yes, you heard it right. Of course, Cheeks also has this intention. He thinks you should play guard more than forward. He thinks you are more suitable for connecting teams."

Lian Feng thought for a while: "Do you think so too?"

Iverson shook his head: "No, I want you to play Andre's substitute, because when he rests, you can replace him and launch a fast break with me."

Lian Feng understood immediately.

I have to say that Iverson's assists are indeed very constrained by his teammates.More than half of his assists are for Iguodala.No way, with his speed, Iverson can steal and make quick transitions. However, only Iguodala can keep up with his footsteps, so after Iguodala rested, the whole team's defensive counterattack Almost stopped.

Obviously has Iverson, who has one of the best speeds in the league, but the 76ers play very slowly. This is the helplessness of the 76ers, and even more helplessness of Iverson.

So, although Cheeks and Iverson have different starting points, both of them decided to use Lian Feng as Iguodala's backup in the first preseason game.

Iverson smiled again: "But take it easy, this is just the preseason, it doesn't matter, all you have to do is adapt, adapt to the rhythm of the NBA, the intensity of the NBA, and... your brothers on the court! "

Lian Feng nodded.

Arriving at Iverson's mansion of more than 1000 square meters, his little brothers quickly rushed up.

Lian Feng didn't plan to say anything about Iverson's crooked friends who often commit crimes. That was Iverson's life.

Iverson knew what he was doing, as he said in the interview: "They are all my brothers. They are the people who have been with me from the beginning. They all believe in me very much, from the first day. Believe me so much from the beginning. If I didn't have these people, I don't know who to trust now. These guys are worthy of my trust. I know what I'm doing, the outside world doesn't know me, and I don't care if they don't know me .”

After Iverson got out of the car, he casually threw the car keys to Lian Feng, then pointed to the Lamborghini and said, "It's yours now."

Lian Feng: "..."

Then the party begins.

Beauty, alcohol, dance floor...

After Iverson was excited, he even went to the center of the dance floor to throw money.

Lian Feng was sitting in a corner drinking a glass of juice, feeling that he was out of place here. During the period, a beautiful woman came over to strike up a conversation, but was dismissed by his indifferent attitude.

He regretted coming here.

Still, it's worth remembering this particular experience.After the party, Lian Feng left the car keys in the car and took a taxi back to the apartment by himself.

Hmm...he hasn't got his American driver's license yet.

……

After the party, Lian Feng had a good night's rest to recharge his batteries.Even if it is a preseason game, it must be taken seriously!
