This point guard is great

Chapter 90 The Son of Philadelphia During This Period (Addition 2)

At the beginning of the century, there were only two and a half superstars in the league, the two were Sharks and Duncan, and the other half was AI.

Sharks have both popularity and strength, and becoming a super giant can be said to be a matter of course. Duncan has strength, but his popularity is not high.

Although the height is about the same as Mahon, AI's physical fitness is almost full of all attributes. When he is in the point guard position, he needs to take into account the cooperation with his teammates. But now he is playing shooting guard, and AI has completely liberated unlimited firepower.

Logically speaking, such an AI plus Mutombo and McGee, as well as super bishops like Brown, should be the favorites to win the championship this year, but unfortunately, they are not.

This is not to blame the referees, it is really too unrestrained AI, openly confronting the league system during the off-season, committing crimes against the wind.

Basketball, if it is bloody and rude, is actually not much different from the ancient arenas. It is a game for the rich, and then they have fun with the people, but the original accumulation can be bloody. When it reaches a certain point, you must take off the bloody skin and put on a beautiful suit. This is called the progress of the times.

Under David Stern's series of wise decisions, the current league has gotten rid of the initial chaos and built a structure of owners, players, referees, staff and management.

This structure is more perfect than the triangle. The current alliance is racing all the way, and opening the golden channel next year will usher in a boom.

So at this time, image is very important.

The league executives have hinted to AI more than once, asking him to give up street culture as much as possible, guide the positive energy of tall people, and learn to wear a suit and tie. Rodman's style is no longer popular.

AI is a popular king, and his strength is beyond class. The alliance has really shown enough, very enough patience to him. This persuasion has spanned a whole year, but if you listen to people's persuasion, is it still AI?

At the end of a season, AI not only did not take off the sweater, but instead talked about black street culture in the off-season show.

This touches a minefield. Stern can bear it, but some people can't bear it, and it's critical now. The league in this period has begun to target the whole world. Personally, street culture has its reasons, but it can't make it to the table. This culture will restrict the development of the NBA. This is the unanimous prediction of several top think tanks in the league.

The last communication in the preseason, in exchange for AI replaced a thicker gold chain and earrings.

Someone went crazy, and then the referee union also went crazy. This year Iverson averaged 4.5 fouls per game, while last year AI only had 2.6 fouls.

The things off the court will not be brought to the court by Ma Hong. Here, he is just a simple fighter who only thinks about how to use his skills to defeat his opponents. He is not interested in miscellaneous things at all, er, not including signing autographs with AI.

Yes, for the game at 5 o'clock in the evening, Mahon ran to the 76ers side during the preparation time and asked AI for autographs and photos.

Iverson is more talkative than expected, and he is carefree. He not only said that there is no problem with autographing and taking photos, but also willing to give Mahon his sneakers autograph.

This, if you don’t say it, will you be beaten, after all, the shoes are usually worn.

No matter what Ma Hong does now, he will be booed at home. He is a little used to it, but Iverson finds it interesting: "Your home court is so lively, have they always been like this?"

"Well, I'm very popular after all." Ma Hong replied shamelessly.

This answer made Iverson feel amused, but he patted Mahon on the shoulder: "Keep going, the audience and fans are always blind, the game will open their vision, and it will also open their hearts. Keep playing hard, you can do it."

I don't know if AI's encouragement is because there are not many players shorter than him in the league, but no matter what, Mahon and AI have a good impression of each other now, although Iverson would like to strangle Mahon himself after an hour.

The two sides returned to the half to prepare. At 5:[-], the referee called the two center forwards to jump the ball.

home bulls

Point guard Kevin Ollie, shooting guard Jaylen Rose, small forward Artest, power forward Oakley, center Brad
With the conclusion of the deal and the return of Artest, the Bulls' starting lineup has initially reached the league's second-rate level, and the offense and defense are evenly balanced. Except for the slightly slower moving efficiency, there are basically no shortcomings.

Visiting team Philadelphia 76ers

Point guard Aaron McGee, shooting guard Allen Iverson, small forward Matt Halprin, power forward Kerry Blunt, center Africa Mountain Mutombo.

Now Mutombo is still at the end of his peak period, averaging 12 rebounds and 6 blocks per game. Except for O'Neal, this guy is a big insider, and anyone who sees him has a headache.

In terms of jump ball, Brad has a slight advantage, and the Bulls attack first.

The combat power of the 76ers is more terrifying than Mahon imagined. Mutombo is extremely reliable in the basket. Every layup of the Bulls has a high probability of being blocked or slapped by him. His rebounding ability is much better than that of Oakley in this period, and he is also dirty and hard.

This makes it difficult for the Bulls to play inside.

After all, they used to bully others with Oakley's rough style, but now Oakley can't stop Mutombo.

Five minutes into the first quarter, Iverson scored 5 points and 8 assists, stopping the Bulls alive. They couldn't stop Iverson from scoring at all.

Not only could it not be stopped, Jaylen Rose was also shaken to the ground by Iverson in a heads-up.

Now Jaylen Rose is no longer the big boy he was when he was the second-in-command under Webber. He is a quasi-All-Star player. After being treated like this by Iverson, he must be angry. It was also this fight that completely collapsed the Bulls' defense.

In fact, Mahon never arranged for the matchup between Jaylen Rose and Iverson.

You don't need to think about it to know that Jaylen Rose is going to die. Mahone arranged for Jaylen Rose to mark Aaron McGee, and then use Artest as the core to score in the middle distance. Don't ask for the score, as long as you don't get thrown off, it is a victory.

But Mahon obviously underestimated Jaylen Rose's desire to win.

Bulls timeout.

Jaylen Rose has also regained some sanity.

Tactics are dead, but people are alive, so it is not surprising that there are eight accidents. What is uncomfortable is that the Bulls are now far behind.

18 to 6, the Bulls were beaten by 5 points in 12 minutes.
