Chapter 215 Another fight with this world (end of regular season)
Li Lei may be the biggest beneficiary of the 05 All-Stars.

First, his sophomore team won.

Secondly, Li Lei completed two consecutive championships in the three-point shooting contest.

In the end, Li Lei won the MVP trophy of the All-Star Game.

The strength he showed in the race also made the black fans led by Charlie Rosen shut up.

But at the end of the day, All-Star Weekend is just entertainment.

After the entertainment, the regular season continued.

The biggest good news for the Heat is: the Raptors bought out Mourning.

Subsequently, Mourning officially signed with the Heat.

After Mourning returned to the team, he played two games successively.

But his condition is not good.

Mourning suffered from a serious illness, and he has hardly played in the past few seasons, so there is no competitive state.

But fortunately, the Heat team is strong, and they often clock in and get off work in three quarters, so there is enough time for Mourning to find his status.

time flies.

The regular season of the 2004-2005 season is over.

The Heat are 26-2 after the All-Star break.

The total record is 76 wins and 6 losses.

This achievement also broke the NBA's best record of 95 wins and 96 losses created by the Chicago Bulls in the 72-10 season.

The Heat made history.

This result even shocked countless NBA legends.

Father Bill Russell: "Incredible! Incredible! Incredible!"

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar: "This is the Bulls of the new century."

Magic Johnson: "They are the strongest team in NBA history, surpassing the Chicago Bulls of the year."

Michael Jordan: "When I heard the news, I wanted to come back. They gave me motivation."

The remaining one just shook his head in pain.

Because he's from Philadelphia.

However, Pat Riley is still strict, and the ban was issued just after the regular season:
Nightclubs are prohibited!
Dangerous sports are prohibited!
Prohibition of excessive sex life!
……

The team atmosphere is serious again.

Li Lei thought of last year, when they were too nervous in the first playoff game, they made 22 turnovers and were blown away by the Celtics.

Compared with last year, the mentality of the Heat this year is much better.

With veterans like O'Neal and Mourning in the lineup, there is no tension.

After training, O'Neill also instructed everyone: "If you have been going to nightclubs, then continue! If you have been late, then continue! If you have been staying up late, then continue... In short, don't change the original lifestyle, so as to maintain Stay in the state, it will not be affected!"

O'Neill has a point.

It's just... no one dared to listen.

This went to a nightclub and was caught by Riley, so he had to be punished.

In short, the mentality of the Heat this year is very good.

Compared with the Heat, the mentality of the opponent 76ers is very bad.

"Come on, we are facing the strongest team in the entire NBA history, how do we play this?"

"The Heat have just achieved a horrible record of 76 wins and 6 losses. They are a galaxy battleship. I don't see hope at all."

"Our luck is too bad. It has been like this for the past few years. We were troubled by injuries last year, and this year we managed to squeeze into the playoffs, but we met the Heat again."

……

Philadelphia fans wailed.

Under such circumstances, Iverson stood up.

"I've faced the whole world once!"

Iverson's first sentence brought back memories of old fans.

In the 2000-2001 season, Iverson led the team to the finals. Their opponent was the Lakers, who had won all the first three rounds of the series.

At that time, no one was optimistic about the 76ers.

就在那样的情况下，艾弗森在G1狂砍48分5篮板6助攻5抢断，送给湖人队唯一一场失利。

At the end of that game, the entire Staples Center was silent.

When the Lakers left the court, there was no sound, eerily quiet.

In the interview after the game, Iverson told the media: "I seem to have fought with the world."

"I won!"

The 183cm little man used his flesh and blood to attack the Lakers' steel penalty area time and time again.

A little man covered in injuries faced the most powerful duo in NBA history, the "OK Combination".

A "bad boy" with dreadlocks goes forward bravely, falls down again and again, but never stops.

……

Thinking of those pictures, many old fans even shed tears.

Iverson continued: "And this time, I will face a stronger world."

"And there are only two results, either I fall down, or I win the world."

"The only impossible thing is: choose to run away before fighting, that's definitely not me!"

"So, who is willing to accompany me to another fight with this world?"

In an instant, Iverson's social media exploded, and it was full of messages from fans.

"I!"

"I!"

"I!"

……

"us!"

Among these people, there are also players from the 76ers: Chris Webber, Dalembert, Iguodala, Korver...

After reading the relevant reports, O'Neill was silent for a long time, and then told Li Lei: "Little brother, we are in big trouble!"
