The three-point line is really too close

Chapter 149 Never spoil the 76ers!Sharp question!
In fact, the book lineup of the 76ers this season is still good.

At least Zhang Bolong can name many of them.

"Big Sloth" Samuel Dalembert, backup sharpshooter Kyle Korver, offensive scorer Willie Green, and the young guy who is still managing the drinking fountains Louis Williams.

In addition to these high-quality puzzle players to help out, the "little AI" Andre Iguodala who can attack and defend well and the former "king" Chris Webber are also well-known figures in the league.

Coupled with the top superstar "Answer" Iverson who has just turned 31 and is still in his prime, this is a team that should be competitive no matter how you look at it.

Especially in those years when the league structure showed that the West was strong and the East was weak, it is not uncommon for you to say that they will rush out of the East.

However, a basketball game has never been a simple addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, formula calculations, nor a rigid program in which the results can be judged by looking at the data.

Among other things, the two "F4" of the Lakers, the Big Three of the Heat in 2011, and the Rockets' super combination of "Dream" + "Flying Pig" + "Glider" or "Pi Erye" are all sufficient. It proves it.

At the beginning of the season, the 76ers started very smoothly, and they once achieved a record of 3 wins and 0 losses.

But after the three-game winning streak, what awaited the Philadelphians was a nightmare day.

Three consecutive losses, four consecutive losses, one after another defeat, let the team just ignite a little spark ruthlessly extinguished.

Team leader Iverson began to miss after a five-game losing streak. The poor record and the intensified conflict with the management made people doubt his future for the first time.

Before that, Iverson was a symbol of the Philadelphia 76ers, just like Duncan was to the San Antonio Spurs, Nowitzki was to the Dallas Mavericks, and Kobe was to the Los Angeles Lakers.

Finally, when another 7-game losing streak came, the unbearable management chose to trade.

At this point, the 76ers have lost 12 games in a row.

从2006年的11月7日到12月20日，这一个多月的时间里，他们仅仅取得了两场比赛的胜利……

When he first received the trade application, Stern did not expect that the determination of the 76ers to cut off their wrists would be so strong.

The most influential star in the league, the boss cultivated by the team, the soul who has accompanied the team for ten years, and the favorite of the fans——

Talk about a deal and it's a deal.

He originally thought that this team was going to dive for the No. [-] pick. The combination of Oden + Iverson does sound a bit tempting.

Who would have thought that the 76ers don't want to be bad at all, and the poor record is only because they are really bad...

He was caught off guard by this move. When the conflict between Iverson and the management was unbearable for a day, Stern had no choice but to bite the bullet and pass the deal.

Accompanied by the crisp and melodious bells on the screen, basketballs wearing Santa hats on the sidelines and Christmas trees full of various small gifts,
The atmosphere of the Christmas war has been created very strong.

Stern looked at Zhang Bolong who was warming up for shooting in the center of the court, praying silently in his heart.

The duel between the two stars is gone, he can only hope that Zhang Bolong can single-handedly fight against the excitement of the game.

It's hard, but maybe?
……

"The AI ​​was traded..."

Zhang Bolong also just got the news. During this period of time, apart from the game, he was paying attention to the progress of his boots, and he didn't pay much attention to the news of the league for a while.

He knew that Iverson was traded to the Nuggets this season, but he didn't expect the trade to happen so early.

In his previous life, Iverson was also one of his favorite players. It would be a pity that he couldn't make it this time.

Similarly, Zhang Bolong felt a little sad in his heart.

In this league, how difficult it is to start and finish.

People praise loyalty, but "one person, one city" not only requires players to be loyal to the team for more than ten years, but more importantly, the team is also willing to stay with old, slow, injured, and useless players .

The former is difficult, while the latter is more like a fantasy.

In the locker room before the game, the reporters interviewed also asked related questions.

"Long, hello, first of all congratulations on being able to participate in the Christmas game in your rookie season. Your performance in the All-Star voting is shocking."

"Thank you, Frank."

This reporter is an old face, and being able to say the names of each reporter familiarly is very helpful for improving the media's favor. This is also a must-have skill for every team boss.

"So, I would like to ask, what do you think of this deal about AI? He once said that you are the rookie he admires most in the league."

"It's really a pity to miss the opportunity to play against AI on a stage like the Christmas War. I have always regarded 'Answer' as an idol. His achievements and spirit have always inspired me to move forward, and his evaluation also makes me very honored.

But you know, the NBA is like this. It was a joint decision between the 76ers and the Nuggets to complete the transaction. Maybe they thought it was a better choice for the team. "

"But after the trade, the 12ers, who had lost 76 games in a row, won two consecutive victories. The Nuggets, who had won two games in a row before, lost to the Kings, who had a poor record in AI's first game. Do you think this means , AI's selfish style of play will cause harm to the team?"

Frank asks tough questions.

Zhang Bolong rolled his eyes inwardly.

Are they acting one by one? You should ask the 76ers, okay...

How can he answer, bluntly saying that Iverson is a cancer?

After coughing twice, Zhang Bolong threw out the dragging formula:

"One or two games doesn't mean anything, Frank, I don't think everyone will forget what AI has led the team to do. He won everything here except the championship. He loves this land, I think Philly fans don't think Allen is a disservice to the team."

The pre-match interview is over, and the game is about to start.

Compared with the ordinary regular season, the attention of the Christmas game is obviously several levels higher.

There were more than twice as many guns and short guns on the sidelines as usual.

However, for Zhang Bolong who has experienced the "China Derby", the current scene is still much worse than then.

The only thing that is new is the Christmas atmosphere on the sidelines.

Colorful gifts hang on a green Christmas tree,
The Santa hat is worn "on top" of the game ball,
The Warriors mascot "Sander" in Santa Claus clothes warmly greeted the fans entering the stadium.

Sander is the strong masked muscular man on the Warriors logo, with a lightning headdress hanging on his head.

It is worth mentioning that because Sander's English name is "Thunder", and the Sonics moved to Oklahoma City in 2008 and changed their name to the Oklahoma City Thunder. The Thunder's English name is also called "Thunder". To avoid ambiguity, the Golden State Warriors officially canceled the mascot.
