Chapter 60 The Agreement with Iverson
He's coming, he's coming, he's coming wearing sunglasses.
Yes, Iverson walked towards the radar.
The two people, who seemed to have no connection with each other, reached out their hands with a tacit understanding when they met, clasped their hands together, and then collided chest to chest.
"Alan, my name is..." Radar said.
"I know, Ray, Ray, Ray~da~" Iverson took off his sunglasses and interrupted Rayda.
"You know me?" Radar asked.
"You secretly learned my skills, do I pretend not to see it?" Iverson said jokingly.
That's right, Iverson's classic change of direction and radar training are perfect, which is also an important reason why he can easily pass people.
Moreover, when ESPN was unfriendly to Radar before, Iverson also helped Radar clear his name on Twitter. With Yao Ming, Adam Silver and other big players personally taking care of Radar, Radar had no choice but to avoid being noticed.
"Allen, you know, I like watching you play very much. I have had a dream since high school, which is to be able to learn from you, pass on your skills, and then use your way to win a championship."
When Iverson heard this, he thought Radar was joking. Those who wanted to be Iverson's disciples could line up from Philadelphia to the Holy City. However, Iverson had no such idea, and he would not teach others.
But what Radar said was serious, and what he said next was not a joke at all.
A rookie said in front of Philadelphia Answers that he wanted to win a championship in his own way. If others found out, they would probably laugh. How great Iverson was, but he still failed to win a championship. You can imagine the hardships involved.
If a rookie dares to say this, it can only be said that a newborn calf is not afraid of tigers.
But Iverson didn't know why, he actually believed that Radar could do it. His intuition told him that this Chinese defender, who was only 5 centimeters taller than him, would create miracles.
"If there is a chance, I think I still have some experience." Iverson suddenly became serious and said.
Radar couldn't believe his ears, so he agreed?
"Ray, you play hard. If you can win this year's Rookie of the Year, I will take time during the offseason." Iverson said.
"Best Rookie, I will work hard, and I will also remember the agreement between us, thank you, Allen!" Radar said happily.
The Rookie of the Year is equivalent to the MVP among all rookies this year. It is easier than the regular season MVP. Compared with all players, the MVP is as difficult as the championship.
"Go ahead, I look forward to your performance today!" Iverson patted Radar on the shoulder and walked back to the audience.
"It's changed a lot." Radar muttered. Although it was the first time they met, the two of them had known each other for a long time. The answer in Radar's memory was that he was young and frivolous, but had superior strength. Now he is a little more stable.
"Come on, 76ers, it's time to see the strength of the future number one center." Radar said to himself as he walked towards his Spurs teammates and started shooting practice before the game.
With the cheers of the audience, the 76ers' starting lineup appeared. The lineup of the Big Four plus point guards is indeed luxurious enough.
The Emperor easily jumped the ball and won the ball for the 76ers.
Josh Richardson dribbled the ball across the court and gave the ball to Simmons, then went to the bottom corner to ambush.
Radar faced off against Simmons, who is known as the "Western Emperor". Popovich specially arranged today for Radar to face Simmons, while DeRozan defended the dispensable Richardson.
This is also a test for Radar. Simmons can shoot suddenly, control the field, and pass the ball. He is a very comprehensive player and has an advantage in height. Radar must also maintain absolute concentration.
Simmons lobbed a pass to Horford. Horford couldn't do anything with Adelaide. Instead of wasting time, he should give the ball to his teammates. Harris received the ball, and it was difficult to get past Rudy Gay's height and wingspan.
The basketball is back in Simmons' hands.
Simmons did not hesitate, took two steps, and shot directly. Radar had already jumped up to interfere with Simmons. Radar's defense also had a certain effect. Simmons' shot missed and the rebound was taken by Ade.
The Spurs counterattacked, and Simmons defended exactly the same. Simmons' defense has always been underestimated. He is a forward swingman who is infinitely close to the best defensive player. Because of his good defense, he is said to be comprehensive. Radar also chose to pass the ball.
Going around and around, the basketball was given to Bortle. The Spurs center, who had performed well in the first two games, seemed a little selfless and didn't look at who was in front of him. He took the ball and hit the basket.
The majesty of the emperor cannot be violated. When Boltel's hand for dunking was about to approach the basket, a long black arm stretched out and knocked Boltel back hard.
This is the strength of the No. 1 center in the future. A healthy King is really scary. Boltel has come to his senses. This guy is Embiid. I thought it was Powell.
Boltel, who had simply blocked the shot, still held the ball steadily and immediately gave the ball to the outside radar.
The radar receiver didn't say anything, and took a three-pointer directly.
Simmons didn't expect Radar's shooting speed to be so fast. Logically speaking, people who play point guards usually dribble before shooting. Few people catch the ball and shoot directly like Klay Thompson.
A 3-point hit is what you get from spending one hundred skill points.
In the second round, the 76ers continued to be organized by Simmons. After two or three passes, Harris made a three-pointer but failed to hit.
The Spurs attacked, and Embiid and Horford built an iron wall inside.
Emperor: Not even a mosquito can fly in front of me.
Radar really wanted to test Embiid's defense. He called Guy and Ade to come over, double-cover, and set up a wall.
Without Simmons, Radar attacked from the right, and the first one he encountered was Harris. Radar dribbled left and right, made an Iverson-style change of direction, and then turned around and passed Harris. Now Radar was close to the penalty area.
Embiid is right in front of you.
Radar chose to take action directly. There was Embiid in front, Harris behind, and Horford under the basket. If he continued to break through, the physical confrontation would be too great. Just kidding, these are all gorilla-like bodies. If Radar had a head-on confrontation with them, it would not be a fight.
Stone?
Radar chose a throw, and before Embiid's block came, the basketball had already flown out and entered the net steadily.
Iverson stood up from his seat on the sidelines and applauded Radar.
Radar scored 5 points in a row, giving the Spurs a good start.
On the other hand, the 76ers generals did not panic at all, the fans did not panic at all, and head coach Brown had no intention of suspending the game.
After a 5-0 start, I acted like a normal person, how heartbroken I was.
