Chapter 59 Philadelphia 76ers

Philadelphia, once the capital of the United States of America, experienced various baptisms of blood and fire, and once became the second largest metropolis in the United States.

With the westward expansion and the gradual decline of the old eastern cities, Philadelphia also began to slowly decline.

The Philadelphia 76ers, as a veteran team in the league, have countless big-name players in history, but the most impressive one is the 183-foot-tall little man - Allen Iverson.

Iverson grew up in a slum, which is standard for many big-name NBA stars. The extremely harsh environment not only made Iverson a strong character, but also made him sensitive, self-esteem and grateful.

Iverson is a complex mixture, which is the reason for his extraordinary charm and the inevitable condition for future tragedies.

In the 1996 golden generation draft, Philadelphia used the No. 1 pick in its hands to select Allen Iverson, which made him the most dazzling star of the golden generation.

He is the proud man of heaven and carries all the hopes of Philadelphia's renaissance.

In his rookie season, Iverson dazzled Michael Jordan and wrote a story of bravery and fearlessness with his youth.

In 2001, Iverson was no longer the rookie who first entered the league. He was the regular season MVP, scoring champion, steal champion, All-NBA team and other honors, and led the 76ers to repeat the Finals after 8 years.

Their opponent was the Lakers, the ok team that dominated the league at the time. Their strengths and weaknesses were so clearly differentiated that countless people believed that the Lakers would definitely win the championship with a complete victory record.

Amid the fanatical theory that the Lakers are invincible, Iverson gave the world a resounding slap in the face when he hit a key shot in overtime in the first game of the Finals.

In the shocking battle at Staples, when Iverson stepped over Tyronn Lue, his expression was expressionless, and he was so cool that he captivated so many ignorant teenagers. From that moment on, he was devoted to Iverson.

Then be loyal to "Ai" for life.

The lone hero writes the answer with his fighting spirit!

Iverson guessed the beginning of the story, but not the end. On Christmas Eve 2006, he was kicked out and left Philadelphia, where he had played for ten years.

After leaving Philadelphia, Iverson went to the Denver Plateau and formed the Golden Guns with Anthony. Iverson lived a wandering life, with no little ghosts left in the world, only lonely ghosts with nowhere to turn.

When Iverson returned to the 76ers, he kissed the floor that was his team.

Iverson has countless honors, MVP, four-time scoring champion, All-NBA team, All-Star, captain of the Dream Team, and inducted into the Naismith Hall of Fame. The only thing he lacks is a championship. He is the uncrowned king.

After that, the 76 team began a long rebuilding process. They completed the Black Eight miracle and struggled on the edge of the playoffs. To this day, they have not been able to return to the finals stage again.

Today's Philadelphia 76ers have assembled many No. 1 picks, Joel Embiid, Ben Simmons, Fultz, etc.

In order to rationalize the lineup, they traded Fultz to make the lineup more complete.

Josh Richardson, the starting point guard of the 76ers, entered the NBA with the 40th overall pick in the 2015 draft. He is also a low-pick and high-paid player. He has an annual salary of US$11 million for the 76ers this season.

A quick calculation shows that this person's performance is mediocre and he must be a pseudo-point guard.

Starting shooting guard Ben Simmons, an Australian, the 2016 No. 1 pick, one of the 76ers' new Big Four. He is a forward swingman with a height of 2.01, good physical fitness and organizational skills, and a comprehensive performance.

In his rookie season, Si was selected to the All-Rookie Team and the Best Rookie of the Year.

Starting small forward Tobias Harris, one of the 76ers' new Big Four. Entered the NBA in 2011. He scored 30 points, 19 rebounds, and 28 points, 20 rebounds. His average data per game has increased year after year. Harris' progress is clearly reflected in the statistics.

Exquisite.

Starting power forward Al Horford, the third overall pick in 2007, is 2.08 meters tall. First team of the All-Rookie Team, third team of the All-NBA Team, second team of the All-Defensive Team, 5-time All-Star. The little-known Horford is a

An inside player with both offense and defense, he is also one of the 76ers' new Big Four.

Starting center Joel Embiid is nicknamed "The Great" by fans, a nickname that conveys his domineering attitude.

Embiid, who is 2.13cm tall, is positioned by many fans as the number one center in the active league. He is both offensive and defensive. He has the inside footwork of Olajuwon, and his excellent coordination skills make him dominant on the defensive end.

In his rookie season, Embiid scored 20.5 points and 7.8 rebounds in 24.5 minutes of playing time, which shows his ability.

Embiid is really a potential stock. Sometimes he has a body from ancient times, but he has the skills of the small ball era. He is the leader of the team and plays an important role in the team.

Embiid and Ben Simmons have the same characteristics, high draft picks, superstar strength, but fragile bodies like pieces of paper.

Ben Simmons was injured in his rookie season. He was drafted in 2016, but did not officially play until 2017.

Needless to say, Embiid spent almost all of 2014 and 2015 in surgery and recuperation. In 2018, he tore his meniscus again. Young emperor, cherish your body.

As the sports evaluation of Embiid said, Joel Embiid is a tall and athletic center with excellent coordination; he has the ability to control the ball and shoot, he is aggressive; he has excellent lateral movement and can block shots and grab rebounds.

But the only fly in the ointment is his health.

In addition to a pseudo-point guard and the new Big Four, the Philadelphia 76ers also have role players such as Zhaire Smith, Kyle O'Quinn, and Glenn Robinson.

Fortunately, this season, the 76ers are in good health. Simmons and Embiid came to the court with the team and started doing warm-up exercises.

As the Spurs entered the stadium, Radar saw the coveted figure in the crowd. He was wearing a necklace and a black jacket. He was almost the same as he was more than 20 years ago. The only difference was that the traces of time seemed to be visible on his face.

Time is a sharp blade that catches people off guard, and years are a journey that never returns. The young man who was in a hurry at that time looked back and his temples were already gray.

Time is ruthless and will not stand still because of you. The league is also cruel and will not sympathize with your injuries and aging. No one can be the enemy of time. The erosion of time has made Iverson slow down like this.

Slowly taking off his superman cloak.

A meteor fell in the dazzling river of stars, and the night fell on his heart. The storms of the past spread on the edge of the wound, leaving behind the glory, the waiting, and the helplessness of disappearing into the corner of the world so far away.

Heroes always have their twilight days!

Looking at his former idol from a distance, although Lida was still young and didn't understand basketball when Iverson was playing, since he started playing basketball, his favorite stars are still Iverson and Kobe Bryant.

Radar did not come forward to say hello to Iverson and get to know each other. It was enough to just take a look at the idol from a distance.
