Super Legendary Superstar

November 1, 1996.

The 76ers faced the Bucks at home. This was also Allen Iverson's debut in the NBA. He was only 1.83 meters tall, but he became the top pick in the 1996 draft. The 1996 class was later known as The "golden generation" includes Kobe, Ray Allen, Nash, Marbury, Camby...

Although anyone who has watched his college performance will have confidence in Iverson, his height of 1.83 meters still makes people doubt and worry. Can he adapt to the intensity and confrontation of the NBA? Do the 76ers have a better choice?

If Marbury didn't have so many "I"s when he was training with the 76ers, would he have chosen Marbury?

If the 76ers were not so eager to get a point guard, but a center, would they choose Camby?

At the home court of the 76ers, in the center of the court, the No. 1 pick with a crew cut, Allen Iverson, was holding his waist with his hands, staring ahead blankly and defiantly, not knowing what he was looking at.

"Am I Iverson?" Sun Zhuo has transformed into Iverson at this moment. Compared with the surprise when he turned into a black man last time, Sun Zhuo's performance was obviously much calmer this time, and he didn't go around looking for a mirror to look at himself. It seems that Iverson is a star that Sun Zhuo is very familiar with. Sun Zhuo is very clear about what Iverson looked like in various periods.

Sun Zhuo raised his right hand and touched his hair. It was very smooth, which made Sun Zhuo a little disappointed: "Iverson still had a crew cut as a rookie and did not have his iconic hairstyle."

It wasn't just the hairstyle that disappointed him.

Teammate Jerry Stackhouse, who was 1.98 meters tall, walked up to Sun Zhuo and asked, "Allen, are you nervous?"

Sun Zhuo looked up at Stackhouse in front of him, with a look of horror on his face, and was surprised in his heart: "Stackhouse... so tall?"

Sun Zhuo has met Stackhouse and played with him. In Sun Zhuo's impression, Stackhouse is just a guard who is about the same height as Kobe and slightly shorter than him. But now with Iverson His body looks like a mountain...

"Oh my god..." Sun Zhuo couldn't help but sigh. Sun Zhuo was not used to Iverson's height.

"Don't be nervous. There was no pressure in my first game as a rookie last year. Of course, I didn't get as much attention as you did today." Stackhouse said coldly, sounding like he was talking about Iverson. The element of jealousy.

Sun Zhuo walked to other teammates and found that he was even shorter. When he met those who were over 2.10 meters tall, he always felt like he was meeting a giant.

"Iverson is the height of an ordinary person. How can he score in front of these big men? How has Iverson managed to become a superstar with such a height over the years?"

Sun Zhuo is not used to this kind of height. Although he knows that Iverson is very strong in other abilities besides height, but no matter what, the NBA is a game of heights. Iverson's height is such a disadvantage. The NBA is too difficult.

The task of this peak game is 30 points, 2 rebounds and 6 assists. Rebounds and assists are not difficult. The difficulty lies in scoring. This is the easiest challenge in Iverson's peak game. In the future, he will challenge 50 points and 60 points. Point games will be more difficult.

"I want to try Iverson's speed and jumping first."

Sun Zhuo couldn't wait to try his new body. Compared to Kobe Bryant's body, Sun Zhuo, now transformed into Iverson, was even more excited and looking forward to it, because Kobe's body and Sun Zhuo's body were still very similar. But Iverson is completely different from them.

"Let's dunk first. AI dunks in the early stage are also good." As the "first dunker in history", Sun Zhuo is still more interested in dunking. He wants to try what it feels like to dunk with a body of 1.83 meters. When I was 1.83 meters tall, my memory was already very blurry.

Sun Zhuo controlled Iverson's body. After dribbling, he accelerated, used all his strength to take off, and performed a one-handed dunk!

boom!

Easily dunk in!

Sun Zhuo is also very satisfied: "Iverson's jumping is really good, at least better than the same type of Kyrie Irving. Iverson's speed is not as fast as Iverson, but in the realm of 'man and ball', he can Compared to Iverson."

Sun Zhuo likes to compare Irving with Iverson, not Rose or anyone else, because only Irving can control the rhythm of people and the ball as well as Iverson.

Afterwards, Sun Zhuo called Stackhouse over again: "Jerry, come and guard me."

Stackhouse was a little surprised, but then he agreed and stepped forward.

Sun Zhuo changed direction and threw away Stackhouse, and scored directly for a layup!

"Oh, so fast! Allen Iverson is really talented. His speed and jumping are amazing. At his height, he is simply invincible!"

"I also think the 76ers were right to choose him. He will be a unique legend in the NBA."

No player of Allen Iverson's height has ever become a superstar, and people are looking forward to Iverson being the first.

With everyone's expectations, Sun Zhuo started this superstar competition.

"The ball is in Allen Iverson's hands!"

"Score a goal, kid! You can do it!"

The fans at home are cheering for Iverson. Today's rookie showdown between Iverson and Ray Allen also attracted a lot of attention.

Sun Zhuo was a little nervous, but thinking about Iverson's unparalleled speed and ball control ability, he felt relieved and just played as he pleased, just like Iverson usually did.

Sun Zhuo controlled the ball, faced the defender, and suddenly made a drastic change of direction, throwing away his opponent!

"So fast! He rushed in!"

Sun Zhuo went directly to the basket. This was also his instinctive behavior. He had always done this in the past. Once he completely got rid of his opponent, he would go inside to cause damage.

However, at this moment, he is Iverson, and Iverson does not have a particularly strong finishing ability at the basket, especially when surrounded by two people.

Snapped!

Sun Zhuo was very fast, but he was still blocked when he dunked with both hands.

The crowd was shocked and exclaimed, saying, "Iverson would be crazy to dunk this ball."

"It still doesn't work." Sun Zhuo had no choice but to return to defense. If it were Sun Zhuo or Kobe's height, it would be no problem to dunk the ball in.

After that, Sun Zhuo tried to use a change of direction to get rid of his opponent, and then hit a mid-range shot, just like Iverson did against Michael Jordan this season.

But……

Snapped!

"Allen Iverson's shot was also blocked! Oh, it's really disappointing. His height still can't adapt to the NBA. His opponents are much taller than him."

"It's a bit risky for the 76ers to select him as the No. 1 pick."

After being blocked continuously, Sun Zhuo controlled Iverson, which disappointed the home fans. Iverson's height inherently gives people a feeling of insecurity, even if some people know that Iverson is ready to fight now. The strength is still good, but the technology can slowly improve, but the height can never be changed. The defects caused by this height will always exist.

Sun Zhuo has become even more stressed. He is not used to controlling such a body. It seems that it will take time to adapt to score in Iverson's way. However, this mission is only 30 points. If Sun Zhuo focuses on brushing up data, There is still a high chance that this challenge will be completed, but in that case, Iverson's debut will be a bit "ugly" in terms of hit rate and reputation.

As he continued to fight, Sun Zhuo suddenly became annoyed again.

"Oops, I forgot to sing "LAST NIGHT" before the game!"

Before the start of this superstar game, on the plane from Orlando to Cleveland, Sun Zhuo had planned to turn "LAST NIGHT" into Iverson's song.

It is now 1996, and the Norwegian group has not released the song "LAST NIGHT" yet. As long as they sing this song before the game, Iverson will naturally be the original singer, and Sun Zhuo is sure that Iverson will really sing it later. Complete this song and publish it.

"This game is not what I wanted at all. It seems I have to challenge it again."

Sun Zhuo felt that he played poorly in this challenge and forgot important things. Of course, he could also do this during the halftime break, but he played so poorly in the first half. How could he have the nerve to win? Go get a microphone and sing?

In the following time, Sun Zhuo didn't think about completing the task. He just tried hard to adapt to Iverson's body and scoring method. Slowly, he also understood Iverson's shooting point and how to face these tall people. How can we not be covered when the time comes?

"Unfortunately, your challenge failed!"

At the end of the fourth quarter, Sun Zhuo only scored 17 points in Iverson's debut, failing to complete the task. However, in everyone's opinion, this result was still acceptable. Ray Allen on the opposite side only scored 13 points. A few days later, Kobe's debut was even worse.

…

cleveland.

After Sun Zhuo, Wade and their teammates arrived at the hotel, they have been listening to the song "LAST NIGHT" and watching videos of Iverson playing as a rookie while listening to this song.

Wade was very curious: "Sun, why did you suddenly start to admire Allen Iverson? If it was your first season to do such a thing, I wouldn't be surprised. He is also my favorite star, but now, you have Even scarier than him."

Sun Zhuo smiled and asked: "D-WADE, if you were only as tall as him, do you think you could achieve what he has achieved today?"

Wade paused and replied: "He is indeed amazing, but I believe I can do it, what about you?"

Sun Zhuo also nodded. He has personally experienced playing with Iverson's body. This height is indeed a disadvantage in the NBA with so many people, but his speed and control of the ball are also unparalleled. After playing a game with Sen's body, Sun Zhuo felt that he had a new understanding of ball control. He enjoyed the feeling of "man and ball becoming one" so much.

"Small people also have their advantages. I want to take advantage of now to learn how to play a point guard and how to control the rhythm. When my ball handling reaches the highest level in the future, I can be like Iverson. We're still playing ball..." Sun Zhuochang thought about it.

After carefully observing Iverson's shooting points and scoring methods, Sun Zhuo once again challenged Iverson in this superstar game!

…

November 1, 1996.

Going back to 1996 again, Sun Zhuo was very confident about this challenge, so he couldn't wait to grab the microphone of the live DJ. Before the game started, Sun Zhuo took the microphone, stood in the middle of the stadium, and followed Say hello to everyone.

Everyone in the audience heard Iverson's voice, and everyone turned their attention to him. As the rookie No. 1 pick, today was his first show, and he was originally the focus of the day.

"Allen Iverson? What is this rookie doing with the microphone?" Glenn Robinson of the opposing Bucks also stopped and looked at the short Iverson.

Sun Zhuo took the microphone and waited until the discussion gradually died down before he said: "Good evening everyone, I am Allen Iverson."

At this point, Sun Zhuo stopped and put down the microphone, and the audience immediately burst into applause.

"Haha, we all know you! You are the hope of our 76 team, you will be a superstar!"

"Aaron! Aaron!"

76ers fans are particularly looking forward to Iverson, the No. 1 pick, and naturally they are very supportive.

Stackhouse and Ray Allen on the opposite side sneered, "Have you learned to speak like a star before you even play a single game in the NBA?"

Sun Zhuo knew that Iverson would become a superstar in the future. What he did today may seem a bit arrogant now, but in the future, it will be just part of Iverson's legendary career.

"Today is my first game. I'm very excited. At the same time, I also like rap music. I'm a little nervous now, so maybe I can sing a few words to relax." Sun Zhuo continued to speak while holding the microphone.

"Sing it, man, we want to hear it!" The fans were very cooperative.

Sun Zhuo was actually a bit shy, singing in front of so many people and without accompaniment, but when he thought that he was Iverson, he felt less restrained and started singing on the spot.

"Yo, yo, whats boorgy town...everyone come on, we will be the shaker what a crazy star..."

"This song is called "LAST NIGHT" and I published it later." After Sun Zhuo finished singing, he returned the microphone.

Several Bucks players were talking quietly.

"That rookie seems to be very arrogant. He was still in the mood to sing a song to himself before the game. He didn't take us seriously at all."

"Haha, I think he knows he can't survive in the NBA, so he's thinking about his second career. If he can't play basketball, he might still be a rapper. His singing is not bad. I will buy his album. .”

Glenn Robinson and Vin Baker said.

Now, everyone is looking forward to the performance of "Iverson". If Iverson plays poorly, his behavior before the game will be defined as ridiculous.

And Sun Zhuo will not let Iverson take the blame.

For the first ball, Sun Zhuo was still at a 45-degree angle. He changed direction drastically, passed the defender, and then went directly into the penalty area!

"That's too arrogant, little man!" The Bucks insider was ready to give Sun Zhuo a big hot pot.

But this time, Sun Zhuo didn't force a dunk, but pulled the lever in the air, glided to the other side of the basket and made a backhand layup!

Uh-huh!

"Oh! It's so beautiful! His change of direction, his rhythm of controlling the ball, and his pull-up layup! This is just his first game, just the first goal of his career. His future is worthy expect!"

To correct an error in the previous chapter, the time of the peak game was written as 1997, which should be November 1, 1996. That time was the time of Iverson's second peak game, and it was written incorrectly.
