Basketball injuries only make me stronger

Chapter 73 The Unfamiliar Iverson
After Lian Feng became the main force of the team, he conquered a large number of fans in Philadelphia.

There are often local discussions about whether the arrival of Lianfeng can become the next star in Philadelphia.Originally, Iguodala was cultivated as the cornerstone of the team's future team building, but the arrival of Lianfeng made them see another possibility.

In terms of playing style, Lian Feng is more like a star player.In the words of some well-known commentators, Lian Feng's way of playing is a replica of Grant Hill.

You know, Grant Hill, who was not injured at the time, was hailed as the second Jordan successor!

Lian Feng certainly deserves praise.His first three games have fully reached the level of a star player!He has all the potential to become a star: epic athletic ability, explosive style of play, offensive tendencies that like to get into the penalty area and dunk, and the hard work that is not afraid of confrontation in every game!
Although his shortcomings are still obvious, such as weak three-point ability, almost no post-up skills, lack of low-post attack methods, and even many deficiencies in defense...

But which star didn't grow up like this?

The only worry from the outside world is that Lian Feng's bursting style of play may cause injuries.As long as he is not a glass man, judging from his current performance, it is only a matter of time before he becomes a star.

But what followed was doubt.

Never underestimate the hype enthusiasm of the media.When people are used to seeing praise, the media will definitely attract attention by questioning it.

First of all, TNT took the lead in firing. They believed that Lianfeng's strength needs to be further confirmed, because three of the 76ers' four games last week were weak teams.And the only game against the Pistons, Lian Feng was still absent.

In other words, all of Lian Feng's wonderful performances came from weak teams.

At present, the 76ers have 3 wins and 1 loss, ranking third in the Eastern Conference.Ahead of them are the Heat and Pistons.

According to the media, if Lian Feng faced a strong team in the league in the first four games, it would be impossible for him to achieve such outstanding statistics.
Coincidentally, the next game is the league's absolute strong team: Dallas Mavericks!

Last season, the Mavericks lost to the Suns 2-4 in the Western Conference semifinals. With Nash leaving and Finley leaving, the Mavericks started an era with Nowitzki as the spiritual leader.

The Mavericks' strong point is undoubtedly on the front line.They have Nowitzki, so it goes without saying that he is powerful. At present, the 76ers are simply unable to fight in the frontcourt.

Moreover, the painful news is that Webber has asked for leave and will miss this game.Then there is no doubt that no one on the 76 front line can stop the raging of this German tank.

In the backcourt, although the Mavericks don't look so strong after losing Finley and Nash, but that's just the offensive end!Although Christie, transferred from the Magic, is a shooting guard, he is a well-known defensive master in the league. He has been selected to the first and second teams of the league's best defensive team many times.He is Webber's former teammate, and they once created the powerful Kings team in 03 together.

So, can Lian Feng continue to play in the first three games in this game?This is something that everyone is eagerly concerned about.

However, before officially playing this game, Lian Feng was called by the team management to have a meeting.

The content of the meeting was that they thought that Lian Feng's performance had fully met their expectations, all kinds of things, and hoped that he would continue to work hard, all kinds of things, the team would guarantee to give him continuous playing time.

After the meeting, Lian Feng secretly mocked these shrewd businessmen.It is clear that he was able to bring victory to the 76ers, but he said it as if he took advantage of it.

Lian Feng basically goes in with his left ear and out with his right ear for these pictures.

On training day, Cheeks designed several pick-and-roll tactics for Lian Feng and Iguodala, and then practiced all day.

Of course, whether it can be used in the arena is another matter.

Because it is a home game, they can wait for work at leisure.Everyone paid great attention to this strong enemy. Before the game, everyone did not go out to spend time and drink, but raised their spirits and prepared to start the game.

Finally came game day.

Lian Feng stepped into the arena at this time, not as nervous as the first time.

The reporter also found him immediately, and came up to interview him before the game started.

"Hi Lianfeng! I'm Miranda Lott of ESPN."

"Hi Miranda Lott."

"how do you feel?"

"Ugh...it feels great."

"This game, your main power forward Webber is absent, and Dirk is very strong on the opposite side. Do you have any plans?"

Lianfeng shrugged: "Plans can never keep up with changes. Our team has made a lot of preparations for this game. Our team watched a lot of Dirk's game videos and made a lot of targeted deployments. We believe that these efforts are not enough. It's going to be a waste, be patient! It's going to be a great game!"

"Okay, last question. Will you continue the state of the first three games in this game? I mean, continue to score stats like 20+6 or 18+10?"

If it is a safer answer, it is "I hope so, I will do my best!"

But Lian Feng wants to be a star, of course he will not answer the question in such a conservative way, he thought for a while and said: "Yes, there is no doubt, I think I am ready to take on more for the team!"

When he said this, Lian Feng's eyes shone with confidence.

The reporter thanked Lian Feng for accepting the interview and shook hands with him when he left.

What Lian Feng didn't notice was that when he was being interviewed, Iverson just heard his answer not far away, and he listened silently, with an indescribable look in his eyes.

During the warm-up, Iverson patted Lianfeng's arm from behind.

Lian Feng turned his head and saw Iverson saying: "Play well. Tonight I will pass the ball to you as much as possible. Use your strength to answer those damn doubts outside."

Lian Feng was stunned for a moment, he suddenly felt a little strange looking at Iverson at this moment.

In everyone's eyes, Iverson seems to have such an image: During the long years of the 76ers' campaign, his playing time has always been among the best in the league. He is short and tries his best every day on the court. Run hard, don't know how to deal with the media, always like to give the world the middle finger...

However, Iverson, who has passed his thirties, seems to be no longer like that.

Lian Feng remembered that this season, after watching Kobe's 62-point game, he would say, "Sometimes, I'd rather be a spectator."

He really didn't have the murderous aura he once had.

For a moment, Lian Feng felt a strange feeling in his heart.After hesitating for a moment, he nodded: "I will!"

Iverson smiled hey: "It's really interesting to watch you young people grow up."

After saying this, Iverson turned and left.

Lian Feng felt that the once radiant little man in front of him was losing something from his body bit by bit.

That thing... is indescribable.
