Chapter 48
The day of the All-Star weekend is getting closer and closer, and this year's trade deadline is getting closer and closer.

Other teams have made big moves. For example, the Cavaliers got the legendary shooter Korver, and there was news that the Kings would give Cousins ​​to the Pelicans for free; only the 76ers didn't even have any rumors. The major media and fans doubted the 76ers' management's inaction.

If the 76ers' management really doesn't do anything, but they have performed well for several consecutive seasons.This is somewhat inexplicable.

++++++++++++++++++++
In the Fuguo Center Arena in the early morning, the sound of the ball sounded early.

Tang Yu brought Iverson to the training hall very early.

Standing in the empty training hall, looking at the clean and bright floor, Iverson couldn't believe his eyes.I didn't expect to actually stand here!
Is the wish buried in my heart for many years about to come true?Iverson sighed in his heart: Without this Tang Yu, I really don't know how far I am from this dream!

Iverson: "Mr. Tang, I'm a little nervous."

Tang Yu: "It's okay, you are here to conquer them, and they should be the ones who are afraid."

conquer them?This is unimaginable!Iverson asked uncertainly: "Can I do it?"

Tang Yu: "Don't ask me, ask yourself."

While the two were talking, McConnell came into the training hall and saw a dwarf at a glance.

"Yo, who is this?"

Iverson: "Hi, my name is Allen Iverson."

McConnell recalled: "Allen Iverson? I seem to have heard your name somewhere? By the way, the French Prime Minister or the British Prime Minister?"

Iverson was dumbfounded.Is there something wrong with this thing?
Tang Yu scolded McConnell: "Get out of here."

McConnell threw a pitch: "Boss, did you bring Allen to practice?"

Tang Yu: "It is to participate in training, not to visit training."

McConnell was taken aback: "Huh?"

Slowly, more and more people came to the museum.They all felt a little strange when they first saw Iverson; when they saw that Iverson was still practicing shooting, the strangeness turned into surprise.I kept asking in my heart: Who is this guy?

Since no one knows Iverson, so no one makes irresponsible remarks, maybe they will know in a while.

……

"Coach Brown is here," cried Holmes.

Coach Brown entered the arena together with other members of the coaching staff.When he saw Iverson for the first time, he couldn't help but express his surprise in his heart. Maybe that kid is taller than Thomas Jr.?Definitely a defensive hole.

Tang Yu led Iverson to Coach Brown and introduced, "Allen, this is Coach Brown."

Iverson greeted respectfully: "Hi Coach, I'm Allen Iverson."

Coach Brown smiled kindly: "Allen, Don told me you are a great guy, come on!" After finishing speaking, he gave Iverson a high-five.

Coach Brown turned to all the players and said, "Guys, let's have a team match today!"

Group first.

White team: Iverson PG, Rodriguez SG, Tang Yu SF, Noel PF, Okafor C.

Black Team: Holmes PG, Covington SG, Henderson SF, Ilyasova PF, Embiid C.

After the group was divided, everyone realized that Iverson was here for a trial training.But the coach came too fast, right?Other people's first training is to do it with real knives and guns?

Coach Brown also has plans in mind.If Iverson is not good, then this team game can make him retreat; if Iverson is really better, then this competition can make those players who feel that they are arrogant shut up early.

……

Today is the stage for Iverson to show himself. Tang Yu tried his best to leave all opportunities for him.

first ball.

Iverson wanted to pass the ball to Tang Yu who was running.

Tang Yu didn't want to catch the ball at all: "You cast it yourself."

One from outside the three-point line, facing Holmes, no.

Second ball.

Iverson has passed the ball to Tang Yu who entered the inside line, and Tang Yu immediately returned the ball to him: "Shoot again."

Iverson voted again, still nothing.Everyone wondered if the short kid was here to make a joke.

Third ball.

Iverson made a fake move that couldn't be more real, pointing Holmes away.Finally got it this time.

Fourth ball.

Iverson stood against Holmes' defense and made strong shots, too!
Fifth ball.

Already confident, Iverson exploded with speed, swayed Holmes away, and took a step inside the three-point line.Then they withdrew again, shaking Holmes dizzy.

Another three-pointer, hit again!
The sixth ball came out of the box.

Seventh ball.

Iverson played Holmes and hit a three-pointer with a sideways drift.

Coach Brown was very satisfied with this goal.Although it is not yet ready, Iverson seems to have some shadow of Ku Ritian on him.

Eighth ball.

Holmes was furious, and rushed towards Iverson's people.

In the case of losing his center of gravity, Iverson headed the ball before falling to the ground.

Shocking!
Ninth ball.

Iverson once passed Holmes, passed Covington twice, passed Henderson three times, and entered the paint area, still entering the land of no one.

Street juggling?
Tang Yu thought to himself: Are you looking for a cover?
Iverson flew up, saw Embiid pounce, and hooked the ball to Tang Yu from behind.

Wipe, fortunately Tang Yu reacted quickly, caught the ball at once, and threw it into the net.

Although the ball was scored, Tang Yu also had to criticize Iverson: "Try not to pass after the jump. Although you may deceive your opponent, you may also confuse your teammates."

Iverson accepts criticism: "I'll pay attention."

……

8 of 5 three-pointers.Although this is only the data of the training match, the results are already very satisfactory.

Coach Brown: "Allen, you go home first and wait for our results. Don, come to my office."

Iverson: "Okay, coach."

McConnell put his hand on Iverson's shoulder: "Where is your car? Let's go together."

Iverson: "I don't have a car."

McConnell: "I knew you didn't. I did. Take my car."

Iverson: "Okay."

McConnell: "Don is my boss. You are new here, you can't skip the rank, and I will be your boss from now on!"

Iverson: "..."

……

Coach Brown wore reading glasses and kept writing and drawing on paper with a pen.

Tang Yu smiled: "Coach, tell me." It probably means that I know your routine.

Do you think the old man is easy to bully me?Coach Brown took off his reading glasses: "Today I would like to talk about Iverson's shortcomings first."

Tang Yu: "You old man won."

Coach Brown: "First of all, his ability to hit the basket is not good, and he still needs to be honed in the game. Then, he still has many problems with playing wild games, which need to be corrected. Secondly, I haven't seen the stealing ability you mentioned. Finally, he is too short, and his defensive ability is questionable." All the shortcomings of Iverson were clearly stated in one speech.

Tang Yu: "I believe he can solve these problems through the training of the game."

Next is the point.

Coach Brown: "Of course there are many good things about him. First, he is really accurate in three-pointers and has the potential to become a sharpshooter. Second, he moves fast enough to be a leader in the entire league. Third, he can handle the ball. Fourth, he has a certain overall view." It is also a few simple words that point out the advantages of Iverson.

Tang Yu: "SO? Are you satisfied?"

Coach Brown: "I will conduct an evaluation with other coaches on the coaching staff in a while, and wait for my news."

Tang Yu: "Okay."

Coach Brown: "You inform Iverson to come for a basic physical fitness test tomorrow."

Tang Yu: "Is your program reversed?"

Coach Brown: "I'm not giving you face. If he really can't do it, let him retreat."

Tang Yu: "Thank you sincerely!"

Coach Brown: "I have a feeling that the kid's upper limit is not low."

Tang Yu: "Who do you think his template is? Korver? Redick? K Thompson? Or Curry?"

Coach Brown: "As a pure shooter, those people are taller than Iverson, not his template. I can't think of a suitable template."

Tang Yu thought about it, yes, whether it is the Iverson in his memory or the Iverson in his life now, they are all unique.

Iverson will not have another template, Iverson's template is himself, and Iverson will always be Iverson!
Tang Yu figured it out: "Is this done?"

Coach Brown: "Wait, I have to tell that old fox of Colangeno first."

++++++++++++++++++++
The 76ers official Twitter and official website simultaneously released a surprising personnel news: Our team officially laid off Mr. Richain Holmes and signed a free agent Mr. Allen Iverson with a ten-day non-guaranteed contract.

Allen Iverson, who is it?No one has ever heard of it!
Everyone finds it incredible:

The management of the 76ers is really manipulative!First, the unknown Chinese kid Tang Yu was signed with the No. [-] lottery, and it turned out that he was successful.Now I don’t know which wild field I went to find a guy named Allen Iverson, can that guy also play?
