Bishop of the Abyss

Chapter 179 179. Deal Completed!The league scoring champion plays with four DPOYs? !
On November 11, local time in the United States, a blockbuster deal was announced in the league.

Was even rated by ESPN on the day of the trade as going to be a league-changing deal.

On the morning of the 22nd, the Timberwolves officially announced that the team has officially reached a deal with the Philadelphia 76ers.

In this transaction, the Timberwolves will take out the "madman" Sprewell + Rondo + the 08 first-round pick in exchange for the 76ers star Allen Iverson.

The completion of this deal made all the teams in the league panic, and even the Miami Heat, who were far away in the Southeast Division, couldn't help but scold them.

It seems that the hope of winning the championship just seen disappeared in a blink of an eye with the birth of this deal.

It was the Timberwolves fans who were in a completely different mood from other teams. When they learned that Iverson would join the team to fight for the championship, the Timberwolves fans cheered excitedly.

Even Iverson's No. [-] jersey was made by the manufacturer before joining the Timberwolves.

When Iverson officially joined, Iverson's jersey sales reached the top of the league overnight, surpassing Kobe, Garnett and others to top the list.

Iverson was originally one of the most popular stars in the league. With Iverson officially joining the Timberwolves, Iverson's popularity has risen further, and he has the aura of becoming the face of the league.

This transaction is a win-win for the 76ers and the Timberwolves. The 76ers have won a bright future, and the Timberwolves have ushered in a new present.

But behind each other's win-win situation, the other 28 teams in the league have become collective victims.

The Timberwolves, who have won two consecutive championships, are the number one enemy of all championship teams. When the Timberwolves signed Ben Wallace during the offseason, many fans believed that the new season would be the NBA finale series.

As a result, once the new season started, although the Timberwolves' defense reached the horror people expected, the flaws of the Timberwolves on the offensive end were infinitely magnified.

The overall performance is far less invincible than people think.

Just as the teams in the league were excitedly planning to do a big job and try to grab the championship trophy from the Timberwolves, the 76ers came out to give the Timberwolves a big gift.

Even though the Timberwolves paid a lot of chips in this deal, including an outstanding future star like Rondo, after getting Iverson, the Timberwolves have become invincible in the eyes of other teams.

The Timberwolves originally had four DPOY-level players sitting at the same time, and the defensive efficiency of the entire team can be called the top in history. Just seeing it makes people feel scalp numb.

And Iverson's strength is personal offense, and his personal flaw is that he is weak on the defensive end.

But now Iverson will play next to the four best defensive players. Iverson doesn't have to think about the defensive end at all. Iverson can devote all his energy to the offensive end.

When Iverson can ignore the defense and invest in offense in this Timberwolves team, people can't imagine how terrifying that picture will be.

As the NBA's four-time scoring champion, Iverson is definitely one of the players with the strongest offensive firepower in NBA history.

If you put aside other factors and only discuss the offensive ability, Iverson's offensive ability is not inferior to Jordan.

And Iverson still has two completely different styles from Jordan.

Michael Jordan's offensive methods are very rich, with three threats on the wing and an unblockable fadeaway jumper, making Jordan a scoring machine in the 90s.

Relatively speaking, Iverson's offensive methods are much more monotonous. Although Iverson has outside shooting ability, he averaged only three three-pointers per game last season, and his 32% three-point shooting rate is also very average.

Iverson's real killing method is breakthrough.

Everyone in the early league knew that Iverson was about to break through, and he must start to break through from the right, but when Iverson completed a fake move to shake people, the defenders would also be dizzy and could only watch. Watching Iverson kill him in front of him.

Iverson, who has been heavily targeted by the league in the past two years, has developed a left-handed breakthrough. Although time has left many injuries on Iverson, Iverson's scoring ability is still the top in the league. Iverson's offensive methods Still a headache for the opponent.

In later generations, fans often compare Irving and Iverson. Irving can be regarded as the one with the strongest offensive firepower among defenders, and his gorgeous style of play always reminds people of Iverson, an ancient elf.

But the biggest difference between the two is that Iverson never complains about the game, but only finds reasons for himself.

On the contrary, Irving is not as good as Iverson in this aspect, otherwise Irving's personal ability will obviously become better.

On the offensive end, Irving can use a hundred ways to pass people, but Iverson can use one method to complete a hundred times.

The topic of who has the stronger personal ability between Iverson and Irving basically presents an overwhelming situation on the Internet.

Luke has also thought about this issue. Luke believes that Irving in the small ball era may be more difficult to defend, and the gradually improved zone defense will cause a lot of trouble for Iverson.

But if Iverson and Irving appear in the same year's draft, Luke, who holds the No. [-] pick, will definitely choose Iverson without hesitation. This is absolutely beyond doubt.

Last season, the Philadelphia 76ers only ranked ninth in the East, and unfortunately missed the playoffs.

This is the main reason why the management made up their mind to trade Iverson to overthrow and rebuild.

However, the failure of the 76ers to enter the playoffs was not Iverson's fault alone. The help provided by other teammates to Iverson was too small.

When playing against the 76ers, the entire league knew that as long as Allen Iverson was locked up, the 76ers would be like idiots whose hands had been broken, and could only be slaughtered by their opponents without any power to fight back.

This also led to the defense that Iverson encountered was definitely the top in the league, even more helpless than the double-team encountered by Kobe.

According to statistics, last season Iverson was the player with the highest double-team rate among all players in the league, and he had 6.1 more times per [-] rounds than Kobe, who ranked second in the league.

Iverson is like a lonely hero dragging the 76ers forward alone, but when Iverson became full of injuries and could not lead the 76ers into the playoffs, all the infamy was still caused by the official height Only a 1.8-meter-three little guy can bear it alone.

上个赛季艾弗森场均能够轰下33分3.2篮板7.4助攻以及2.1次抢断，这也是艾弗森生涯第四个赛季场均得分高于30分以上。

Therefore, Iverson has also surpassed many historical celebrities, second only to Michael Jordan, Chamberlain and Robertson, and has become the player with the fourth most scoring averages of more than 30+ per game in NBA history.

本赛季截止到目前艾弗森一共为76人出战了9场比赛，场均能够砍下31.6分2.8篮板7.3助攻以及2.4次抢断。

After joining the Timberwolves, Iverson's offensive environment will only get better. When Iverson can focus all his attention on the offensive end, Iverson's offensive firepower will definitely rise to a higher level.

If Iverson can maintain his current state, it will not be difficult to continue to score 30+ this season, and he may even have a chance to be elected as the league's scoring leader for the fifth time in his career.

After all, there is only one player in the league who can compete with Iverson for the scoring title this season, and that is Kobe Bryant of the Lakers. Both of them are spiritual giants and fighters in action.

No matter which of the two can win the league's scoring title, Luke will not be surprised.

The joining of Iverson made Luke feel relieved. Iverson's offensive ability is what the Timberwolves lack most at present, and the help Iverson can provide for the Timberwolves will far exceed outside imagination.

When a league scoring champion plays with four of the best defensive players on the court, even Luke looks forward to this scene!
