Chapter 157 Unstable Army
On the one hand, the Denver Nuggets, who have completed the running-in of the golden guns and have a complete lineup, and use crazy offense as their only tactic; The 76ers, needless to say, Channing also understands that the chances of winning tonight are slim.

From the mobilization of the locker room before the start of the game, it can be seen that the overall morale of the Philadelphia team is not high after experiencing turmoil just now. Many players lowered their heads and their voices shouting slogans seemed low.

This is no wonder for them. After the team manager Billy King stepped down, various trade rumors arose throughout Philadelphia. Dalembert, Korver, Willie Green and others who were very close to Billy King , has always been in a state of insecurity, worried that he would be traded away by the team all the time, Dalembert went too far, and asked Cheeks for a trade on his own initiative, expressing his unwillingness to stay in the team. Under the influence of such an atmosphere, other players were somewhat disturbed.

"The morale of the army is not stable, it seems that the speed of integration must be accelerated!"

Cheeks saw the players' performance in his eyes, and after simply shouting a few chicken soup slogans, he led the players into the arena.

The sponsor of the Denver Nuggets is PepsiCo, so their home arena is also called Pepsi Center Arena, which can hold basketball games and ice hockey games, and can also be used as a music stage when no sports events are held. , a Celine Devine concert in October 1999 marked its completion.

The game is about to start. Players from both sides have already entered the arena to warm up. The Pepsi Center Arena is full. It seems that the idea of ​​attacking fans is very reasonable. Anthony and Iverson, this offensive combination can contribute several wonderful things every night For the scoring performance, Channing himself wanted to buy a ticket to watch it.

Due to the big deal last year, many players in these two teams were former teammates and are very familiar with each other. For example, Iverson, the former boss of the Philadelphia 76ers last night, was traded to the Nuggets to become Anthony's second leader. For example, veteran Andre Miller, who was originally Anthony's second-in-command, became Iguodala's assistant after being traded to Philadelphia, and Iguodala, from the younger brother next to the answer, became the leader of the 76ers. He returned to his familiar position of second-in-command. I have to say that the NBA is a world with changing circumstances.

Before the start of the game, a few familiar players chatted briefly. As a fan of the answer, Channing naturally would not miss this opportunity, and started talking nonsense after following Iguodala into their circle.

As soon as Iguodala introduced Channing as the boss after Philadelphia, Anthony just glanced at Channing indifferently and said nothing, but Iverson had a surprised expression on his face. His successor was easily robbed of the position of boss.

"Who is this rookie? Channing, it seems that LeBron has mentioned this name before."

"Okay, let me try your level tonight!"

Iverson and Channing shook hands in a friendly way, but felt sorry for Iguodala.

In the studio of the Denver Sports Channel, the beautiful host Evra was about to fall asleep, and Billy King beside him was too talkative. Originally, he was asked to briefly introduce the situation in Philadelphia, but this guy took the studio as his own Like everyone else, he vomited bitterness to Evra, complained that Ed Snyder, the owner of the 76ers, had no eyes and mistrusted the villain, and scolded his competitor Cheeks for his lack of talent and virtue. He was buried, and said that the 76ers team is a group of cooks, and Channing is their new leader, a top cook, such a group of eaters can't beat the Nuggets and so on.

When it came to the emotional part, Billy King sniveled and burst into tears, and he almost regarded the studio as a stage for village shrews to scold the streets. But before the game was about to start, Billy King suddenly said that he still had important things to do dealt with, hastily slipped away.

Finally sending away the God of Plague, Evra took a deep breath, calmed down the mess he was made of, and then began to report:
"The starting lineups of both sides tonight have been released. For the Denver Nuggets, starting point guard Iverson, shooting guard JR Smith, small forward Anthony, power forward Kenyon Martin, and center Marcus Camby are still the original team. A regular starter for the season."

"On the opponent's side, starting point guard Andre Miller, shooting guard Korver, small forward Iguodala, power forward Channing, center Smith. This starting set is very different from normal. It seems that Philadelphia It is indeed in troubled times."

The jump ball starts, Camby wins the duel with Smith, and the Nuggets go on the offensive.

Coach Cheeks took a look at Dalembert, who was wearing a formal suit and sitting on the side casually nailing his nails. He was very helpless. Although Old Dai was a little bit awkward and was not very convinced of Channing's superior position, he was the team leader after all. Cheeks didn't mean to drive him away, but he and Billy King wore the same pair of pants. As soon as Billy King left, Dalembert started to do things on his own initiative. After asking for a trade, he even directly refused to play on the grounds that he had a bad stomach.

Dalembert crossed his legs and looked proud. He insisted on seeing how the team would win without him, and whether the boss, Channing, could continue to work.

"With that rookie Smith, with his small arms and legs, how can he fight Camby?"

Cheeks is also very helpless to deal with this kind of thorny player, so he can only let other players go on top first.

Returning to the game, the Nuggets have the first wave of ball possession, with Channing as the power forward, and Kenyon Martin, the representative of the Beastism.

As a Beast player with the same reputation as Artest and others, Kenyon Martin is full of tendons, gaudy tattoos, and looks very fierce, but Channing is not afraid at all, because he knows Kenyon Martin's strength very well. He's just a pure muscular guy, a blue-collar guy, and he once joined the CBA. Because of his poor offensive ability, he can't get along anymore. Haha, Channing doesn't even have to sweat to defend a guy like Martin.

Iverson holds the ball and advances to the frontcourt. Although he is 1 meters tall, he is the height of a pure point guard, but AI's technology is completely that of a shooting guard. He also played a short shooting guard in Philadelphia to make him taller. Eric Snow played point guard for himself, and the effect is very good. After coming to the Nuggets, Iverson has made changes and concessions in many aspects, including surrendering the boss position, giving up a lot of shooting rights, and Back to point guard.

Nuggets coach George Karl, shaking his silver hair, yelled from the sidelines:
"Attack! Attack! We've been ready to attack since the national anthem!"
