So I am the god of basketball?

Think about what your idol magician would do!
This sentence directly caused Kobe to fall into deep thought.

When he raised his lowered head again, his eyes began to shine. He glanced at Meng Lang and said nothing, but Meng Lang seemed to hear what he wanted to say:
Master, I understand!

Game day then comes.

This is Philadelphia's home stadium, and there are a lot of spectators here.

Incomparable enthusiasm.

That kind of enthusiasm reminded Barkley of his time in Philadelphia.

He was still very young then.

The Philadelphia 76ers, led by "Dr. J", are at their peak. He also joined forces with "Dr. J" and did a big job.

The entire team was so full of hope that the whole of Philadelphia was thriving.

But this atmosphere quickly dissipated with the decline of the Philadelphia 76ers. During those years with the Suns, when Barkley returned to this arena, he always felt like things were different. But this time when he returned to Philadelphia, the cheers of the 76ers fans suddenly reminded him of that time that was almost blurry.

The passionate Philadelphia 76ers fans he remembered were back...

This is not without reason!
The Philadelphia 76ers, who were last in the league last season and fifth in the league last season, are currently ranked sixth in the Eastern Conference more than 20 days after the new season. They have recently achieved a "three-game winning streak". Their upward momentum is extremely eye-catching and direct. Awakened the city's passion for basketball.

In fact, the Philadelphia 76ers did not make many changes this summer, and they did not even fire their "rookie head coach" Davis.

Their only "big move" this summer was to use the "number one pick" they were "lucky" to get to win Tim Duncan.

But it was this guy who transformed the Philadelphia 76ers, who were ranked fifth from the bottom in the league last season, into the sixth "playoff team" in the Eastern Conference. Averaged 6 points, 21.4 rebounds, 12.2 assists, and 3 blocks per game, and shot 2.6% from the field. This unsmiling rookie has used his ability to prove that he is worthy of the league's expectations.

It is said that every time Tim Duncan plays a game, there will be a chest-beating wailing sound from San Antonio, and there will also be a deep sigh from Boston.

Two "old coins" planned for a whole season, but ended up making a wedding dress for Philadelphia. Can they not feel distressed?

What's even more frustrating is that the rookies selected by Boston and San Antonio did not perform well. The rookie from Boston who looks like a "flounder" is looking to develop into a "parallel importer".

In contrast, it makes people feel even more "blue and thin".

When Kobe entered the arena, he was booed again as expected. This made him keep a straight face after entering the arena today, and he warmed up in silence.

Until the home team players of the Philadelphia 76ers entered the field, when he saw Allen Iverson entering the scene with thousands of people cheering, he couldn't help but glance in that direction. Seeing the man wearing Philadelphia's No. 3 jersey flamboyantly responding to the cheers, all he could think about was fighting this man for rounds and then humiliating him severely in front of all the Philadelphia folks.

"This guy belongs to me later, you are not allowed to snatch it from me, Eddie!"

He even said hello to Eddie Jones.

Jones watched the Allen Iverson game video before the game. He wanted to say something to Kobe: "This sentence is not something that I or you can stop by yourself." However, he also knew that he was not Meng Lang, so he said this If so, Kobe will never give him a good look.

Well... even Meng Lang, Kobe never seemed to give him a good look. It's just that every time he would be stunned into silence.

He could only acquiesce to Kobe's ideas.

Anyway, when the time comes, he won't be able to prevent someone from correcting him.

This is the character of Eddie Jones, he doesn't want to offend people.

Then the person who entered the stadium to the cheers of thousands of people was Tim Duncan. He still had that unsmiling look. Facing the shouts of the audience, his reaction was in sharp contrast to Allen Iverson just now.

He looked like nothing in the world could make him laugh.

However, he and Allen Iverson still get along very well. Not only did Allen Iverson take the initiative to reach out and give him a high-five when he played, but more importantly, when he was interviewed in the past, Allen Iverson Sen has been saying: "The person who really transformed the Philadelphia 76ers this season is none other than Tim Duncan. He is a rookie in the NBA, but he is definitely the most mature guy of the Philadelphia 76ers. He changed this A lot of ways to team up.”

And he once said: "This is the team of Tim and me, there is no doubt about it!"

From here you can see how convinced he is of Tim Duncan...

"Kobe, you have to cause trouble to Allen Iverson as much as possible, so that the defenders behind can play their roles better. In addition, Charles and Ben, the two of you must pay attention to following up when defending the pick and roll. The guy who comes out must stick to Tim, he has a very accurate jump shot!”

When Chuck Daly arranged his tactics, he also focused on defending Tim Duncan and made key arrangements.

Of course, from Kobe's perspective, he felt that the difficult task of defending Allen Iverson was the top priority of this game.

Chuck Daly patted him on the shoulder before the game started, which made him think that he was right.

But in fact, it was Chuck Daly who heard about Kobe's initiative to seek advice from Meng Lang, hoping to bottom out in the battle with Philadelphia. This move is to encourage him to calm down in this game, fearing that if he is too nervous, he will not be able to play this game well.

He felt that Kobe was able to do this because he was under too much pressure and had hallucinations in his mind.

However, although everyone has their own understanding, this scene is still quite heartwarming.

Amidst the cheers and boos from the audience, Tim Duncan, who represented the Philadelphia 76ers, made a successful jump ball, giving Philadelphia the first right of attack.

Allen Iverson picked up the ball in the backcourt and before he even started, a fluffy afro and a pair of sharp "Eagle Eyes" appeared in front of him.

This man has a grudge against him!

This was Allen Iverson's subconscious thought when he faced these eyes, otherwise he really wouldn't understand why he could see such hostile eyes on the court.

The Philadelphia fans at the scene booed Kobe without hesitation.

They are angry at the hostile attitude of the former "Sons of Philadelphia" toward the current "Sons of Philadelphia."

It also fully explains what it means to have "tea cool when people leave"!
Facing the oppressive defense, Allen Iverson was not nervous. He twisted his hand and the ball twisted in place in a strange arc. It was very deceptive and showed signs of flying to the right. , but quickly returned to the original landing.

The street-like action made Kobe feel even more angry, but Allen Iverson had a full view of his reaction and successfully used a classic "cross over" to complete a change of direction breakthrough directly in front of Kobe.

As soon as Kobe reacted, he had to stop his movement because he felt his ankle shaking uncontrollably. If he continued to move like this, he might immediately fall to the ground.

Allen Iverson is 1 meters tall, but this is his official height. Everyone knows the official height of the NBA. Kevin Durant, who is 83 meters tall, is the same height as Yi Jianlian, who is 2 meters tall. Len Iverson's real height is said to be shorter than 07 meters. But his amazing physical fitness allows him to complete very exaggerated "changes of direction in front of the body", which are so large and so fast that almost all defenders cannot keep up.

Judging from the past generations of "Allen Iverson" terminators, in fact, defending Allen Iverson does not necessarily require strong defensive ability. It just needs to be fast enough to keep pestering him, sticking to him, and harassing him.

The most typical one is Tyronn Lue. He really got a big contract by defending Allen Iverson.

A taller player like Kobe is not an advantage when guarding Allen Iverson.

Because Allen Iverson is too fast.

When Kobe reacted, he could only look at the back of Allen Iverson rushing into the paint. I also need Daben's response to be fast enough. But Allen Iverson reacted quickly when faced with Ben Wallace, who came in as a replacement. He quickly passed the ball in, and Tim Duncan took the ball and dunked it.

"Bah!"

It started with "Eddie's Connection" which gradually became the main theme of Philadelphia.

In his first season, Allen Iverson averaged 7.3 assists per game, and he looked very capable of assisting.

In fact, just like LeBron and Westbrook, they simply have strong breakthrough ability and know how to break through and score the ball with one move, which makes their assist numbers look high...that's all.

Allen Iverson's scoring average this season is 22 points per game, which is slightly lower than last season, but his assists have increased to 8, which has a lot to do with the arrival of Tim Duncan.

Because the original Allen Iverson not only averaged lower points per game compared to his rookie season, but also averaged assists per game.

This is because he changed his style of play and the entire league is more adaptable to his style of play...

But now with the arrival of Tim Duncan, all this has changed.

Allen Iverson's "breaking pass" was turned into a very threatening move by Tim Duncan.

Of course, this is actually normal. Tony Parker can average 7 assists per game when partnering with Tim Duncan. How can Allen Iverson, who has greater breakthrough ability, not be able to do it?
It is also worth mentioning that Allen Iverson had no problem averaging more than 7 assists per game during the No. 7 position. Since then he went to the Nuggets and averaged assists per game for several consecutive seasons. You can see it.

It was just the arrival of the original Larry Brown that allowed him to move to the second position and become a "scoring machine" focusing on offense. During that period, his shots seemed a bit too extreme. In the most terrifying season, he Average of 27 shots per game!
But after going to Denver, he was still able to adapt to averaging about 20 shots per game and averaging more than 7 assists per game.

Especially when he is still a rookie, this kind of breakthrough and passing the ball is his favorite thing to do.

As for Tim Duncan's destructive power under the basket, needless to say, his mature and versatile offensive methods make it impossible for opponents to guess his offensive choices.

In this round, he chose to dunk directly.

Facing two defenses less than 2 meters tall, this is indeed the best way.

This goal was scored simply enough!

The Lakers launched a counterattack and the ball passed from Jones's hand to Meng Lang.

Without the ball, Meng Lang swayed left and right and quickly used Kobe's cover to reach the outside line and shoot a three-pointer.

This trick was noticed by a certain "little handsome man" in front of the TV who had an outstanding temperament and was very likely to become a contractor in the future, and was shocked.

So handsome!

He must be this handsome too!

But when Meng Lang jumped up to take action, Tim Duncan actually stepped in front of him.

Meng Lang looked at his hand in front of him, exerted his strength decisively, and passed the ball toward the basket. He lived up to expectations and missed the open layup, but he lived up to expectations and protected the rebound.

Tim Duncan's recovery speed is very fast.

This is definitely an outstanding defensive attitude and defensive ability.

It's just...

Sometimes, the reason for becoming a background is because of the outstanding ability.

Ben Wallace's own scoring ability is not good, but his ability to find Meng Lang is first-rate.

While Tim Duncan was walking towards the basket, Meng Lang also rushed towards the basket, so...

When Tim Duncan blocked Ben Wallace's "second attack" and was about to secretly breathe a sigh of relief, he suddenly felt his anus tighten. Before he could turn around, he felt a push. His whole body was pushed towards the sideline involuntarily.

"Bah!"

At the same time, the light and shadow above the head dimmed.

A figure jumped high and completed an explosive dunk above his head.

Lakers, No. 24!
The scene suddenly became silent, and Meng Lang gave Tim Duncan his first "dunk" in his career.

"Remember this feeling, rookie, you will experience it countless times in the next n years of your career!" Meng Lang used his "Great Prophecy Technique" to give Tim Duncan, "historic-level human background essence board" Determined.

Tim Duncan's expression didn't change at all.

If the corner of his mouth hadn't twitched slightly, Meng Lang might have been deceived by him.

But Meng Lang, who noticed his slightly pursed lips, knew clearly that this guy's expressionless face was obviously fake. It's just that the "Stone Buddha" who graduated from psychology understands that at this time, ignoring is the best self-protection.

But even if he is a "Stone Buddha" in the future, he is still a rookie now. Being dunked like this is the first time in his career. How could he not have a psychological change?

The silence at the scene continued until Allen Iverson advanced with the ball, and then there were more shouts.

It's Kobe again, this time he's not so aggressive.

Instead, he always kept himself in front of Allen Iverson, and kept thinking silently in his heart:
This guy is definitely going to the right, this guy is definitely going to the right.

The whole world knows that Allen Iverson drives to the right.

It's a pity that it can't be stopped...

Kobe's excessive psychological suggestion caused him to suffer. Allen Iverson hit a mid-range jumper after shaking continuously.

This round was very similar to the one when he shook off Jordan and hit the shot last season. (End of chapter)
