Chapter 83

"I also want to say"

"Supan's debut surpassed Wilt Chamberlain, and he won the Player of the Week award in the first week, surpassing Shaquille O'Neal.

Charles Barkley also praised Supan generously.

"I think Su Pan is now the best center in the NBA"

"No one else!"

Such high praise also caused an uproar among the fans. He was praised so highly in his debut. If he fails in the future, he will inevitably suffer from the backlash of public opinion.

However, Kenny Smith next to him looked a little dissatisfied and refuted Barkley's remarks.

"Su Pan's performance in the first week was indeed explosive, but he is still a bit far away from becoming the best center in history."

"He needs more opportunities to prove himself."

"To put it simply, after winning the Player of the Week award, his next game will be very challenging."

Hearing this, many fans picked up their phones to look through the NBA schedule.

On the schedule, the Lakers' next teammate is a bit intriguing.

Philadelphia 76ers!

And in this game, Su Pan will face the Eastern Conference's Rookie of the Week winner:

Towns!

At the symposium, Kenny Smith did not hide his love for Towns at all, and even looked forward to their first NBA matchup.

"Karl's performance in the East was also explosive, and he showed the potential of a future top center."

"Compared to Su Pan, I actually prefer Towns a little bit more because he is more suitable for basketball in this era."

"Although Su Pan may perform better at this stage, the two will definitely compete against each other in the future."

Barkley rolled his eyes and said coldly:"Don't forget that Su Pan beat Towns in college."

Hearing this, Kenny Smith also responded without any fear.

"You are right, but now it is the NBA, and he has many NBA-level helpers around him."

The two then returned to their previous way of bickering on the show, which also made many viewers laugh.

Because of this.

Fans are more looking forward to the next game between the Lakers and the 76ers.

Su Pan vs. Towns almost represents the battle for the best rookie in 2015.

TNT also gave a slogan after the evening symposium.

Su Pan vs. Towns, the battle for the best rookie award in 2015!

The next day, in the Philadelphia locker room.

Towns read two or three newspapers, then angrily crumpled them into a ball and threw them into the trash can.

He looked at the official NBA tweet on his phone, his eyes spitting out anger.

He was so upset now.

He won the Eastern Conference Rookie of the Week award, which should have been a big deal.

But there was no praise about him on the Internet.

Even the reports were just perfunctory.

And Su Pan from the Western Conference next door not only won the Rookie of the Week, but also the Player of the Week.

This made the media a one-sided situation.

As long as it was related to the NBA, Su Pan was being promoted everywhere.

He could only survive in the corner of the report, and even the position given to him by the other party was the most inconspicuous place.

From the newspapers, you can see how reluctant these media are to report on him.

And in the news, the only news you can see about Towns is that he will play against Su Pan in the next game.

Apart from that, there is no introduction.

Towns was numb.

After all, I am the best rookie in the Eastern Conference!

"Come on, Karl, I will hold the banner for you!"

Embiid, the great man who had just arrived in the locker room, saw the depressed Towns and spoke to comfort him.

As a player who was also selected by the 76ers, Embiid was reimbursed for the first and second seasons after entering the league due to injuries.

He can only make a comeback after the surgery is over and he has almost recovered.

However, Embiid recognizes Towns' ability.

At the same time, he is also looking forward to joining forces with Towns after his comeback.

However, he has no chance this season because he still needs to continue to recuperate, and his comeback will be next season at the latest.

"It's really that guy Su Pan."

Embiid patted Towns on the shoulder and said firmly:"But I still believe you can kill him with long shots and skills."

" As for the task of defending Su Pan, leave it to Norris Noel"

"Noel will confront that guy, and you will help to clean up the mess. He definitely can't stand the siege of the two of you."

Towns showed a grateful look.

Embiid, Towns, and Noel are the three main inside players of the 76ers.

The three of them are considered the future of the team after the 76ers management confirmed it.

But for Noel, he is very clear about his position.

He actually has his own little thoughts in his mind.

He has the lowest ability among the three and is most likely to be abandoned by the 76ers.

But there is an opportunity in front of him.

That is, Embiid is a fragile glass man and is very easy to get injured.

So he has to play a game that satisfies the management before Embiid returns.

In this way, if Embiid doesn't play well after his return, or if he has another pistol, he can still be the focus of the 76ers' training.

It is best to perform at the All-Star level before Embiid returns, which is safe enough.

And this game with Su Pan is a great opportunity to prove himself.

Noel also began to gear up.

He made up his mind to defeat Su Pan with Towns first.

Philadelphia, United States.

The Wachovia Center was packed with fans.

Philadelphia local fans actually like Towns very much. They like this young man with potential, and even think that Towns is likely to be the next Iverson of their 76ers.

The next idol to lead the entire league.

Many fans at the scene held various homemade signs in their hands.

But basically they all said words like Towns is the best rookie, Towns beats Su Pan, Towns avenges Su Pan, Towns is the real answer to the center of the new era, etc.

It can be said that not only Towns and the entire 76ers team, but even the 76ers fans are looking forward to this game.

Before the game started, Towns also accepted an interview with pre-match reporters.

Facing the camera, Towns looked serious.

"8 months of waiting!"

"239 days!"

"5736 hours"

"I've waited 5,736 hours since the March Madness Finals!"

"I didn't give up any second of my efforts, just to be able to beat Su Pan!"

Towns' words made more than 20,000 fans at the scene boil.

"Carl!"

"Carl!"

""Karl!"

The fans shouted Towns' name in unison.

Many fans also thought that Towns was a hard-working super genius because of what Towns said.

He carried the flame of revenge and vowed to defeat Su Pan!

For American fans who advocate heroism, Towns' words undoubtedly further heightened the gimmick of the game.

Not far away, Su Pan sneered.

Doesn't he know that Towns is not working hard?

If he wants to work harder, he can't just be at this level.

Compared with the real hard-working talents in the NBA, Towns is still far behind.

"I am also looking forward to seeing Karl-Anthony Towns become better."

When the reporter found Su Pan again, facing the restless scene, Su Pan seemed very calm.

"It's a good opportunity to test his progress!"

(Predictions for tomorrow's game: Celtics beat Heat. Mavericks beat Clippers. Feel free to slap me in the face!)
