Injuries in basketball only make me stronger

(Thanks to those brothers for the rewards these days. I received a booster shot of the vaccine today, and I feel completely groggy. My head is still hurting. By the way, do you have any side effects from the vaccine? The one shot I took

, Adenovirus vaccine, it’s so refreshing...I read everyone’s comments, thank you!)

Lian Feng watched the press conference on TV.

When Iverson arrived in New Orleans, he had to accept the siege of the news media.

But this time, Allen Iverson looked very calm on TV.

"Hello Alan!"

Iverson just nodded slightly.

"How does it feel to be here?"

"Well, to be honest, the climate here is a bit humid. I'm still getting used to it. But it won't take long."

"What was the reason that made you make this decision? We heard that you paid a lot to get your freedom."

Iverson thought for a moment and said, "There is no special reason. I want to win a championship in the last period of my career."

His speech remains straightforward and unabashed.

The reporter's question became sharp: "We heard a saying from the outside world that your joining the Hornets is an act of reporting to the team."

Iverson laughed disdainfully. Of course he had seen and heard such remarks. He stared at the reporter and said: "Really, that's an interesting statement. Do you think I'm here to hug you? No, you

Wrong, this kind of statement is also completely wrong! I will prove it to you."

"One more question, what are your expectations for this team?"

"There is no doubt that the expectation is to win the championship. I have not participated in the team training, but as you can see, here is the best coach Adelman, the most stable sharpshooter Korver in the league, the mid-range killer big

David West, and a group of very good newcomers, such as Mark, Samuel, and Jeff Green. Although they are young, they are full of potential. I will teach them how to win..."

After a pause, Iverson added: "Also, the best swingman in the league today, you know who I'm talking about. He was injured, a serious injury, but I believe he will survive. And I

All we have to do is get this team into the playoffs before he comes back!"

Seeing this, Lian Feng turned off the TV.

It has to be said that time has worn away many of the sharp edges of this most unruly man in the league. But deep down, he is still the proud answer. He will tell you that he accepts his current position and admits that this is someone else's team.

.

But he will never admit that he is hugging the thigh, he is the thigh! Just as he will never accept being a substitute, this stubbornness will not be lost no matter what.

Lian Feng felt relieved.

He believes that with Iverson like him, they will be able to hold on until he comes back.

…

After the interview, Iverson arrived at the hospital to visit Lian Feng.

The guy in front of me is no longer what he remembers.

Of course Iverson still remembers the first time he met him, that one-on-one match. Time flies so fast. He has become a superstar with all kinds of glory, reaching a level that even when he was at his peak, he could not

reaching the pinnacle.

"Man, you don't look good."

Iverson said with a humorous tone.

Lian Feng shrugged helplessly: "Yes, yes. I think everyone can see that I suck."

"So I'm here to save you."

"This script is really disgusting."

"Ha ha ha ha."

The two joked for a while, and their expressions gradually became serious. After a moment of silence, Iverson asked Lian Feng for the first time: "Man, do you have any advice for me?"

Lian Feng was slightly startled. He didn't expect Iverson to ask such a question. Looking at Iverson again, he saw a deep obsession in his eyes, as if he was fearlessly risking everything.

Lian Feng was greatly shocked.

After a moment of silence, Lian Feng said: "Korver's defensive quality is not high, but his threat from beyond the three-point line is even higher than that of Ray Allen. David West is a very mature guy, you know?

, he actually understands philosophy, and many times, he can give surprising suggestions."

"Marc Gasol, believe me, his potential is definitely no worse than his brother who was killing everyone in Los Angeles! He has the potential to become a dpoy in the penalty area."

"Ibaka, that boy from Africa, you have already seen it. All he lacks is experience. And Jeff Green, that guy can contribute a lot whether it is offense or defense, as long as he is in a suitable position.

, the Thunder completely wasted his talent."

"My advice is...you trust them and then teach them to build confidence, that's it."

After a pause, Lian Feng said seriously: "One more suggestion... that is to believe in Adelman. He is a very calm coach, and his presence is textbook level. Finally... I wish you a happy life in the Hornets.

!”

Iverson nodded, something burning in his eyes, something that suddenly made Lian Feng realize, just like the answer in 2001.

…

Adelman's original worries were dispelled.

Iverson participated in team training after returning to the team earlier than anyone else.

On the training field, he even worked harder than others. He kept applauding on the field, communicated with others, and then shared some of his experiences. It can be seen that he is trying to integrate into this team.

Really hard work.

And Iverson had a group of younger brothers, and those guys also followed Iverson here. They were allowed to enter here, but no one caused trouble.

It can be seen that both Iverson himself and his younger brothers clearly know what this season means to him.

very good.

Of course, Adelman is still thinking. He has not found a way to let Iverson play his strengths.

The next period of waiting for Lian Feng will be very difficult. To get through this difficult time, tactics must be designed around Iverson's characteristics.

There is no doubt that he is the core.

He's going to get what George Sheehan promised him: respect, superstar treatment, et cetera, et cetera.

But there is one thing to be happy about. This Hornets team may be the best team for Iverson today, unlike the 76ers and Nuggets where he once stayed.

If Iverson doesn't feel good, or the opponent he encounters has strong offense but mediocre defense, then let Ibaka and Jeff Green play. This lineup will bring the ultimate defensive pressure, even if Iverson has poor defense.

A little, teammates can make up for it.

If Iverson feels hot or the opponent has strong defense and weak offense, then let Korver and David West play. Their containment ability will instantly make Iverson play more freely.

Both lineups are extremely suitable for Iverson.

No one here will compete with him for the ball. On the contrary, everyone will support him to go it alone, or even double-team him!

Thinking about it, it's an interesting fate. It seems that no team needs a player like Iverson as urgently as the Hornets.

There is no player who needs a team as severely biased as Iverson on a Hornets team.

It's so complementary.

Coincidence?

Destiny.

If all goes well...

I hope the plot of this season is: a team at the bottom and a legend at the end of the road, but it will deduce a soul-stirring season journey.
