Chapter 66: high school idol allen iverson
The next day, all USC team members arrived in Detroit, Michigan by plane non-stop.
Detroit is the largest city in Michigan, USA, located in the northeastern part of the United States, north of Windsor, Canada, an important port city along the Detroit River, the world's traditional automobile center and music capital.
The current Detroit has not gone bankrupt like it did later, but the once glorious Motor City has shown great signs of decline. The closure of many factories and layoffs are basically commonplace for Detroit now.
Influenced by the Great Lakes, Detroit's climate is a typical temperate climate in the Midwest of the United States, with cold winters.
But this season is just right for Detroit, the average temperature is around 18-20 degrees Celsius, which is very suitable for travel and fun!
Because there are still 5 days before the semi-finals, Lian Dao and DeMar went to watch a Pistons game.
When you come to Detroit, how can you not watch a Pistons game.
Moreover, since Allen Iverson, who recovered from his back in the last game, has returned to the game, then in the game against the Cleveland Cavaliers on March 31, Iverson will definitely play.
This should be Iverson's last two games on behalf of the Pistons. On April 3, Iverson should announce that he will not participate in the next Pistons game.
Although the Pistons' president of basketball operations Dumars believes that Iverson's back injury is the reason for his retirement, everyone knows that he is unwilling to be relegated to the bench.
Iverson is a character who would rather bend than bend, which has a lot to do with the environment in which he grew up and the black culture he came into contact with.
He would rather retire than be moved to the bench as determined by Pistons head coach Michael Curry.
An All-Star starting guard went off the bench. This seems absurd to Iverson.
Although Iverson did not participate in the All-Star due to physical reasons, he is still the All-Star starting point guard in the hearts of fans, which is voted by all fans.
If Iverson goes to play as a substitute, what does it mean? Are the fans who support him blind? This is directly hitting his own fans in the face!
Therefore, it is impossible for Iverson to play as a substitute. This was the case when he was in the Pistons, and it is still the same when he is in the Grizzlies.
In the end, he returned to his old club, the 76ers, who also went to the 76ers as the starting point guard.
For this game, Lian Dao just wanted to watch an Iverson game live.
Lian Dao's youth is different from others, his youth does not belong to Chicago Braised Eggs, but his youth belongs to the 96 golden generation.
Kobe, McGrady, Carter and Iverson, Lian Dao's idol in middle school.
In middle school, the videos that Lian Dao watched the most belonged to Iverson, which is why he was influenced by street basketball.
If it is said that in the NBA, who is most liked by children playing street basketball, it must be Allen Iverson.
The classic rebellious ditches and crossovers that no one can defend are his hallmarks. He is 1.83 meters tall but dares to rush into the basket in the era of the interior, and puts the basketball into the basket again and again in the confrontation.
The reason why Iverson has become the idol of many young people is because many people see themselves at a height of 1.83 meters. This height is not much different from ordinary people, which makes many young people see the hope of playing professional basketball.
But after working hard, I found that I was whimsical, and when I came back, I would admire the 1.83-meter Iverson even more. He can overwhelm the NBA with giants and break out his own place!
In middle school, Lian Dao thought Iverson was super handsome, and he always believed that this is what basketball looks like. But looking at his own speed, Lian Dao knew that he might never be able to make a breakthrough like Iverson.
In this life, Lian Dao wanted to see his idol in middle school up close. After all, when he wanted to watch the Iverson game in the last life, he found out that he had retired!
But this game was destined to disappoint Lian Dao. Iverson was not in the starting lineup in this game. He came on as a substitute for Rodney Stucky.
Iverson made a substitution with 2 minutes and 15 seconds left in the first quarter.
And the first pass was intercepted by Deron Tesi, who made a mistake at the beginning.
But then Iverson broke into the inside line twice and made a foul.
Lian Dao was still so charming when he saw the dramatic disguise, realistic fake movements, and swift speed.
Although his state is far from as fast as when he was young, you can still see the shadow of Iverson's youth from his breakthrough.
A great offense is an art, obsessive.
Even DeMar, who is a Kobe fan, looked at Iverson on the court with his mouth wide open.
There is always a sense of distance in the video, and the impact of watching the scene cannot be given in the video.
It is possible that the back injury has just healed and has not yet recovered. Iverson's shooting percentage in the second quarter has not been very high.
It was a coincidence that this match happened to be the Pistons against the Cavaliers. Looking at James, one of Akron's sons, Lian Dao couldn't help but gasp: "So strong."
Speaking of the son of Akron, the other is the cute **** Stephen Curry.
Speaking of Akron, two NBA superstars were born in the same hospital in the same place, which made Lian Dao wonder if being born in this hospital would be a buff for playing basketball.
James has not yet become a 30-year-old man, and most of the current James is still carrying the defender and rushing into the basket for dunks with crab steps.
Looking at James now, Lian Dao is also very emotional.
The first is that this guy's physical fitness is really good, and the second is that this guy has not yet become the "Bao Tuan Zhan" of the Heat and the "kimbo Zhan" and "Baby Zhan" of the Lakers!
James, who has not yet left, although his shooting stability is his biggest problem, but his ability to fly and escape makes all the players who defend him complain.
In the second quarter, with 4 minutes left, Hamilton replaced Iverson.
Looking at the 34-year-old Iverson, who was suffering from injuries and his eyes were full of loneliness, Lian Dao also sighed.
But when Lian Dao was still feeling deeply for Iverson, Lian Dao didn't realize that the camera on the scene was already aimed at him and DeMar.
Immediately, the figures of Lian Dao and Demar appeared on the big screen.
Immediately, many fans at the scene looked at Lian Dao and Demar, and screamed excitedly.
Lian Dao and Demar did not expect to be spotted by the camera while watching a game.
So the two waved towards the camera with some embarrassment.
And some fans who were relatively close, immediately took out their notebooks and pens and asked Lian Dao and Demar to sign.
Lian Dao really didn't expect that he would be so popular.
It was not until the end of the game that Lian Dao fled the scene.
He came near the player tunnel.
Seeing Allen walking towards the tunnel, Lian Dao stopped him loudly.
"I'm your fan, can you sign me?" Even Lian Dao, who was born again, is still a little excited to see his idol in middle schoolOf course, I have watched your game, Great, I didn't expect you to be my fan! As Allen said, he stretched out his hand, and the two of them held hands and bumped their shoulders.
Looking at Iverson from a close distance, Lian Dao still felt a little emotional. He really couldn't imagine why this 1.83-meter Iverson could be so powerful.
"Where do you want to sign?" Iverson felt unnatural when Lian Dao looked at him.
"Oh." Lian Dao came back to his senses immediately, and took out a high school Iverson jersey from the backpack behind him, which was the No. 3 jersey of the 76ers.
Iverson looked at this jersey and was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect it to be his 76ers jersey.
Then looking at the No. 1 jersey on his body, he smiled mockingly.
He even lost his jersey number.
But then, he signed his name on the No. 3 jersey of the 76ers.
Immediately afterwards, the two people who had signed their names took a group photo.
Well, the one who took the photo is the tool man Demar!
"Come on, I hope you can go to the end this year!" After Iverson said this, he walked towards the player tunnel.
That firm pace seemed to have made up his mind.
Sure enough, the next day, Iverson announced: He will not participate in the next Pistons game.
Lian Dao was stunned when he saw the news, which was two days earlier than his historical announcement plus a game.
April 1, is it an April Fool's joke? But the reality is: this is no joke.
This is true, because in the next game against the Nets, Iverson was not found.
Lian Dao really did not expect that he would once again affect the development of history!
