I didn't want to fly away

Chapter 86 Unexpected injuries, Iverson is about to debut!
"Tonight's game is a good opportunity, Allen, do you want to try it?" Dunleavy asked Iverson what he thought.

In the evening, the Clippers played the Timberwolves at home.

Since the last time they played against the Timberwolves, the Clippers have won ten games in a row and the Timberwolves have lost ten games in a row. The situation and state of the two teams are completely different.

No. [-] in the Western Conference, No. [-] in the Western Conference, the game has not started, and the result is already doomed.

And after the Timberwolves, the Clippers will play away again.

Judging from the upcoming schedule, the Clippers' winning streak should last for another week or two.

If Iverson must wait until the team loses before appearing on the court, then both Iverson's own fans and Clippers fans will feel puzzled and disappointed.

In Dunleavy's view, playing today is the best time.

Iverson can take advantage of playing the Timberwolves, slowly get on the court to find his feeling, and run in with other Clippers players.

Dunleavy also wanted to take this opportunity to show Iverson goodwill, trying to subdue Iverson and use it for him.

However, Iverson still rejected Dunleavy's kindness.

"Let me observe for a while. I am not in a hurry to play. I have been injured. It is good to rest more recently."

Iverson insisted so much, Dunleavy naturally didn't want to persuade him much.

The former super giant has some tempers of his own, which is normal.

After receiving Iverson's reply, Dunleavy looked for Lu Yi and communicated with Lu Yi.

After Lu Yi learned of this, he could only shake his head.

He wants to get Iverson's help, but things are not as simple as imagined.

From the Grizzlies trade to Iverson, how to use Iverson in the regular season this season, and how to use Iverson in the playoffs, all these need to be tried slowly.

So, only time will tell.

Time soon came to night, and the Clippers played against the Timberwolves at home, so naturally there would be no mistakes.

The Timberwolves made a lot of gains in the draft and selected a group of high-ranking point guards.

No one knows exactly what the Timberwolves want to pick. Everyone only knows that the Timberwolves seem to be fighting for next year's lottery pick again.

In fact, in today's game, Timberwolves' potential rookie Jonny Flynn played pretty well.

As a short point guard who claims to be 183, but is actually less than 1 meters, Jonny Flynn scored the team's highest score of 8 points, and this only took 17 shots.

There were also 5 assists and 1 steal.

As the team's point guard, there were only 2 turnovers and losses. It can be said that the control is quite good.

However, compared with Lu Yi, there is no comparison.

Because the Timberwolves and the Clippers play their own games, there is no targeted restriction on Lu Yi's defense at all, which makes Lu Yi play very comfortably.

Already scored 17 points in the first quarter, and even clocked out of get off work early after only playing one and a half quarters.

全场19投13中，三分10投6中，罚球5投5中，轻轻松松砍下37分6篮板2助攻2抢断的全面数据。

Under the leadership of Lu Yi, the Clippers effortlessly beat the Timberwolves by 28 points at home, advancing their winning streak to 11 games.

Immediately after the next day, the Clippers were a guest in Indianapolis to fight the Pacers.

The Pacers have not played well this season, temporarily 5 wins and 7 losses, ranking 10th in the Eastern Conference.

The current Pacers team not only lacks a reliable head star, but also lacks an outstanding head coach like Carlisle.

Under the lack of star leadership and winning experience, the Pacers' record this year compared with the previous two years can be said to be far behind.

Originally, the Clippers had absolutely no problem playing today's game.

But the point is that NBA games are prone to unexpected things.

Davis was blocked by Hibbert during a layup, but an accident occurred. After the free throw, he was directly carried down.

Hibbert only participated in the draft last year, and his talent has not yet been fully utilized, so it is impossible for the league to introduce a special vertical jump rule in order to take care of James.

It is also because of this that Hibbert guards the basket and will still rely on his height and stature to take off and defend in a "rampage" manner.

Although Davis is a point guard, he is not small and has a back injury. This time he confronted a 2-meter-high center like Hibbert, it was really an egg hitting a rock.

Davis' injury made Lu Yi worried for a long time. The accident happened in the third quarter, and Lu Yi had a few times of ecstasy until the beginning of the fourth quarter.

But fortunately, the Clippers took a 17-point lead in the first half. Even if there was an accident in the third quarter, the point difference did not narrow.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, the Walkers wanted to take advantage of the irregularity of the Clippers' main lineup to chase points, and the point difference was once narrowed to less than 10 points.

But after two consecutive timeouts by Dunleavy, Lu Yi gradually came to his senses under the reminder of Dunleavy.

In the end, Lu Yi made 10 of 4 shots in the fourth quarter, 7 of 3 three-pointers, 2 of 2 free throws, and scored 13 points to help the Clippers win the final victory 92-84.

Although the game was won, the problem was still exposed.

After the game, Davis' physical examination report was released. According to the results of the MRI examination, Davis was diagnosed with a lower back contusion.

It is conservatively estimated that Davis will be included in the suspect list for the next week's games.

According to past experience, the specific playing time may even be extended by one month.

The Clippers have a lot of guards, but there are not many point guards who can play the starting lineup. It just so happens that Iverson is one of them.

Iverson asked for a starting position. This time Davis missed the next game due to injury, and Iverson took advantage of the opportunity to play, which couldn't be better.

However, when Dunleavy approached Iverson again, Iverson still resisted.

It wasn't until Lu Yi also participated in persuading Iverson to play, that Iverson reluctantly agreed.

"Then, I'll leave it to you then.

I didn't perform well enough in the training games these days, I wanted to prepare for a while longer.

But now the team needs me, so I am naturally obliged. "

Iverson agreed, and that's a good thing.

As for the running-in of the team and finding a way to win, there is no rush.

The next opponents are not strong enemies.

On November 11, the Clippers were a guest in Detroit.

Iverson finally agreed to play, and perhaps he also wanted to "repay" his old club.

Iverson started as a substitute with the Pistons.

The Pistons made Iverson suffer a lot, and for the Pistons No. [-] player Rodney Stuckey, Iverson was also full of emotions.

"Allen, let it go, we'll make it for you, and we'll win with you."

In Iverson's first game with the Clippers, Iverson needed to prove himself, and other Clippers players had to take the initiative to welcome and help Iverson.

Wiping Iverson's ass on the defensive end and giving football rights to the offensive end is the simplest and most basic thing.
