Coach Lee

Chapter 71 Fighting the Raptor

The second preseason game is back in Philadelphia.

This is the first time the Philadelphia 76ers have played at home!

It's autumn in Philadelphia in October.

The sun shines during the day and the temperature can reach 20 degrees.At night, it is eighty-nine degrees cold.

However, tonight's Philadelphia 76ers fans are fiery.Nearly 5000 people entered the arena, and they made the home atmosphere very lively.

This is just a preseason game, yet it has attracted so many spectators!

Home of the 76ers, Philadelphia Main Stadium, Wachovia Center.

This is a large basketball stadium that was just built in Philadelphia this year.

Because it is the first game in the new arena, and because the 76ers have just returned from a big victory, and because today's opponent is the Raptors with the No. [-] pick Marcus Camby, the fans are really looking forward to this game The value is very high.

In the auditorium, it is easy to see a lot of support signs, with very conspicuous words written on them.

"Allen Iverson!"

"Son of Philadelphia!"

"This is the champion!"

There are too many Iverson fans in Philadelphia.

The 76ers beat the Knicks in the first game, and Iverson's perfect performance contributed a lot.His chic style of play is even more sought after by fans.

Even with so many fans, Iverson still looks cool.

The more personality Iverson has, the more fans like him.

Even if he waved his hand casually, the fans screamed.

"Ah! Iverson, I love you!"

Seeing Iverson surrounded by fans, Stackhouse felt a little depressed.

He was the team's scoring leader last year, he was last year's No. 3 pick, and he was last year's first-team player.

As a result, after a year of hard work, he was still no match for Zhuangyuan Lang.

Still, Stackhouse isn't giving up.

At least he is still the starting shooting guard for the 76ers. As long as he has a wonderful game, he will definitely be able to capture the hearts of the fans!
However, head coach Davis brutally extinguished Stackhouse's hopes.

"No. 2, Lee!"

Stackhouse thought he had heard it wrong, and some of the substitutes present also thought they had heard it wrong.

Only Iverson smiled and reached out to Li Nan.

"Man, we can finally fight side by side!"

One black and one yellow hold hands together. "Happy cooperation!"

Stackhouse sat on the bench looking ugly. "What did I do wrong?"

The gossip duo at the end of the bench made no secret of their envy and hatred.

"Wow! Li actually started the game!"

"It would be great if I started the game. After I retire, I can go back to my hometown in Australia and play for the rest of my life!"

"Branko, do you think it will change for the next start?"

"Hiss~ Are you saying that I still have a chance to start?"

"Go away, what I said is that I still have a chance!"

……

"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Wachovia Center in Philadelphia..."

The on-site host specially prepared an opening, and he wanted to introduce the participating players to everyone.

"The first thing I will introduce to you is the visiting Toronto Raptors."

In an instant, the host became sick and began to introduce weakly.

"Doug Christie~"

"..."

"Marcus Camby~"

"..."

"Damon Stoudemire~"

The host is well versed in this, and even used a soft tone at the beginning to hit the morale of the other party.

The fans were also willing to cooperate, and just applauded their opponents symbolically.

When we arrived at the home team, the host suddenly came alive, and his voice instantly became louder.

"The following are the fighters from the Philadelphia 76ers, they are Frank King~~"

"Oh!"

Frank King was the first to play, a little nervous, but he enjoyed the cheers of the audience.

"It feels great!"

……

Every player was greeted enthusiastically.

"Jerry Stackhouse!"

"Oh!"

Although the voice was very loud, Stackhouse was not happy at all.

"Next, I want to introduce today's 76ers starting lineup!"

The audience couldn't understand it.

"Isn't Jerry the starter? Oh my god, is Davis out of his mind? Leave it alone? Use a newcomer?"

"Hey, there is an Asian guy who hasn't played yet! Who is he? How could he be the starter?"

"That's Lee! Lee's starting today? Oh my God! He knocked Jerry out of the starting lineup!"

"Uh, let me ask, who is Li?"

Many people at the scene didn't even know that the team had such a new player, but the host helped everyone out.

"Number 9, Li, a talented defender from China, he is the hope of the whole Chinese people, the light of Asia, he is the most shining new star in the Atlanta Olympics, he is..."

With this introduction, Li Nan himself felt a little embarrassed.

"Brother, don't hurt me, okay?"

However, although those evaluations do not belong to him yet, Li Nan will try his best to make it a reality.

Standing up, he gave Iverson and Coleman a high-five one by one, and then Li Nan resolutely stepped into the arena.

The voices at the scene suddenly became a little quieter, and Li Nan clearly saw some fans rubbing their eyes in disbelief.

"Heh~ What are you guys doing? Isn't it normal for me to be the starter?"

There was a little embarrassment at the scene, but Stackhouse's mood calmed down a lot at the moment, "Sure enough, the eyes of the fans are discerning."

When it came to Iverson, the scene exploded.

"Ooooooooo!!!"

"Alan! Alan! Alan!"

Iverson's popularity can't even compare to Coleman who played in the finale!

Coleman frowned, but still forced a smile.

The new season hasn't started yet, but there are undercurrents surging in the team.

Coach Davis has some headaches.

"It's so difficult for me!"

Beep beep beep! ! !
The referee greeted both sides to start playing.

This game is said to be a confrontation between the number one pick and the second place.

However, it was actually a direct conversation between the 96 No. [-] pick and the best rookie of last season, Damon Stoudemire!

Little flying mouse Damon Stoudemire was selected 1995th in the first round by the NBA rookie Toronto Raptors in the 7 NBA Draft.

在随后开始的1995-96赛季中，小飞鼠分别在1995年11月和1996年1月两度获得联盟“当月最佳新秀”奖项的肯定。

During the 1996 NBA All-Star Weekend held in the middle of the season, Little Flying Squirrel was selected for the rookie game and won the "Most Valuable Player" award for his outstanding performance.

What's even more commendable is that the excellent performance of Little Flying Squirrel lasted for a whole rookie season.

After the end of the season, he was not only selected to the NBA All-Rookie Team, but also won the NBA1996 "Rookie of the Year" award.

You know, the competitors of Little Flying Squirrel are the violent top pick Lang Qiao Smith, the second place in the spring male list Antonio McDyess, the scoring master Jerry Stackhouse, the North Carolina god Rasheed Wallace and the high school. Wizards Kevin Garnett and others, the difficulty of winning can be imagined.

Iverson vs Damon Stoudemire, who is the better one?
