NBA: The start beat Kobe Bryant in his old age

Chapter 183 Iverson: Even if you turn into ashes, I still know you!

In a training facility at the Wells Fargo Center.

Lin Tian and Kobe are doing shooting training meticulously.

Even if it's just a training facility, there are retired jerseys from some of the 76ers' legends hanging on the walls.

Among these retired jerseys, there is the No. 13 jersey belonging to the ancient god Chamberlain, the No. 2 jersey of Momoxi Malone, and the No. 6 jersey of Dr. J...

After Lin Tian trained for a while, his eyes stayed on a No. 3 jersey, which was Allen Iverson's jersey.

Although Philadelphia is not a giant with a strong background, and has only won two championships since its inception, they have never lacked super giants that affect the league structure.

Since Iverson, the next one should be Embiid.

The team's slogan for the past two years is "believe in the process", which shows that the team has great confidence in Embiid.

Lin Tian and Kobe trained for nearly an hour, and talents such as Nick Young and Howard appeared in the training hall.

Seeing that they didn't wake up, they didn't know where they went to play last night.

Scott and several assistant coaches also began to arrange today's training plan to prepare for the evening game.

……

Night falls.

When the Lakers players walked into the stadium from the player tunnel, the home fans still treated them with great enthusiasm.

The DJ at the scene said excitedly: "I buy Karma! Welcome to the Lakers! Welcome to Kobe! This is the first time that the Wells Fargo Center has been so lively in recent years! Haha!"

There is a reason why the commentary said so.

Having played so many games this season, their record is currently 6 wins and 40 losses, which is the absolute bottom position in the league!Basically secured the last place.

In terms of poor performance, no other team in the league can match it!

The grades are bad, so naturally don't let the fans chase after him!The attendance rate of their games this season is touchingly low.

Even if the average ticket price is only a few dozen knives, not many people are willing to pay.

Only today's game was fully attended and the tickets were fired very expensively. This is naturally because of Kobe.

Dj is very good at creating an atmosphere. He laughed at himself: "Two-thirds of the fans who came here today should be Kobe fans."

There were bursts of cheers from the audience, and everyone seemed to agree with what the dj said.

Dj continued: "If possible, I hope Kobe can come here to play games every day."

Another cheer.

Kobe also greeted the fans with a smile on his face, and at the same time said to Lin Tian: "I feel like I am in the Staples Center."

Lin Tian nodded: "Your influence is too great, everyone is here to see you."

Half an hour later, Lin Tian was warming up and shooting, and suddenly there were bursts of cheers at home.

Only then did he realize that Iverson had also come here today.

Iverson is wearing loose clothes today, wearing a black hat and a string of silver necklaces around his neck, which is completely hip-hop.

In fact, since Iverson entered the league, he has set off a hip-hop storm.

His cool ditch hairstyle has been imitated by many players until now.

Since retiring the year before last, Iverson has rarely appeared in the home arena. There were rumors that he had gone bankrupt.

Lin Tian is naturally deeply skeptical about this. A player of his level has played for so many years, and after retiring, he can get a lot of pension every month.

And Iverson's influence is there, no matter how bad it is to participate in any event, the appearance fee will start at least a few hundred thousand dollars.

After Iverson came to the arena, the first thing he didn't find a seat to sit down, but went directly to Kobe.

Kobe also quickly put down the basketball in his hand, high-fived and embraced Iverson.

The two most representative players of the 96 golden generation just booed and nodded frequently in front of the audience.

Lin Tian was also quite touched at this time. Iverson was the No. 96 pick in [-] and the shortest regular season MVP in NBA history.

It can be said that Iverson was the pinnacle when he debuted, and he gathered thousands of favors in the early stage of his career.

And Kobe entered the league in the first year, just playing from the bench, and his goal from the beginning was even to surpass Iverson.

The two were also fortunate enough to meet in the finals in the 00-01 season, so they didn't have much regret.

They talked like two old friends who haven't seen each other for a long time, and they didn't mind the countless cameras next to them.

As players, they are already used to being followed closely by cameras.

After chatting for a while, Kobe waved to Lin Tian next to him as if he remembered something: "Look, don't I need to introduce more?"

Iverson laughed loudly: "Hahaha! Dude! Don't mess with me? Does this guy still need an introduction? He is the hottest person in the league right now! As the Chinese saying goes, even if you turn into ashes, I will know you!"

Lin Tian smiled naturally.

Iverson's popularity is very high in China. Among foreign players, only Kobe can stabilize him.

Therefore, almost every year, Iverson goes to China to "fish for gold". He also has a certain understanding of the culture of China, and he also has the word "loyalty" tattooed on his neck.

But such a metaphor is obviously not appropriate.

Lin Tian himself didn't mind at all, he smiled and hugged Iverson.

Since he crossed over, he has copied all the abilities of the peak Iverson.

Iverson's crossover, stealing ability, and even his "steel body" have all been copied by Lin Tian.

So hugging Iverson made him feel weird.

Lin Tianxin said: I will let you know what kind of achievements a 2.05-meter Iverson can achieve in the NBA.

After watching Iverson take his seat, Lin Tian returned to the court to continue warming up.

He glanced at the opponent's bench by the way, but didn't find Embiid's shadow.

Embiid is currently recovering from his injuries and hardly plays with the home team. Moreover, he is at the center of public opinion and is particularly disgusted by the home team fans. In addition, the home team's record is so broken, it is normal not to follow the team.

The game starts soon.

The starting lineup sent by the home team today is: Nick Stauskas, Ismail Smith, Robert Covington, Norlens Noel, Jahlil Okafor.

The starting lineup of the Lakers remains unchanged: Clarkson, Kobe, Lin Tian, ​​Tucker, Howard.

Among the opponent's current starting lineup, the most star-like one should be rookie Okafor.

Okafor was the No. 2015 pick in [-], and he was also the No. [-] pick selected by Philadelphia through poor performance.

He is currently averaging 17 points per game!
Among the rookies in the same class, Towns, who is second only to Lin Tian and the Timberwolves, shows his strength.

But Okafor may never have imagined that although this is his rookie season, it may also be his peak season.
