After leaving Milwaukee, the Sonic came to Philadelphia overnight. Philadelphia has a very important position in the history of the United States. It has witnessed the establishment of the United States. Before Washington was built, it was the capital of the United States.High-speed update[ ]

However, Philadelphia is not as good as it used to be in terms of politics or economic status, and it is not even as good as the southwestern city of Houston. Among them, it feels a bit like grandma doesn't love and uncle doesn't love.

In the history of the league, Philadelphia is also a very important city. In order to make better use of its own ice hockey venues, so that when ice hockey games cannot be played, the venues will still have income. The owners of some ice hockey teams gathered in McGrady, New York. Johnson Garden Plaza Arena, discussing the establishment of a basketball league, this is the predecessor of the league, one of which is a Philadelphia team, and the Philadelphia Warriors also won the first championship of the season.

The Boston Celtics, New York Knicks and Warriors are also the only three remaining teams in the founding team. The Philadelphia Warriors were later moved to California and changed their name many times to the Golden State Warriors. , and Philadelphia also ushered in the Syracuse National Team, which was originally renamed the Philadelphia 76ers.

Wilt Chamberlain happened to play for two teams in Philadelphia successively. In addition, the 76ers also produced a large number of celebrities. The famous "Dr. Come to the "villain" Charles Backus who is active in the commentary and host circles, and then there is the "answer" Allen Iverson who is still among the league superstars.

But now Allen Iverson, once a symbol of Philadelphia, no longer wears the jersey of the 76ers, and now the 76ers have changed from a team that is watched by the world to a team that no one cares about. For the team, Iverson took away the popularity that came from him, and also took away the character of this team. [ ]

After a night's rest, Stephen came to the hotel's fitness room early in the morning. This hotel has a lot of large-scale fitness equipment that the visiting team hotel does not have, but there are no basketball-specific equipment. The morning was originally a rest time, and only training in the afternoon .

However, due to the short playing time in yesterday's game, coupled with the short flying time, and the depression caused by failure, Stephen was already in the mood of lying on the bed, and came to the fitness room, clattering with the equipment When vented.

Just when Stephen was practicing the eighth set of equipment, a tall figure walked in. Stephen thought it was Coppard who came to look for him, but he didn't expect to look back, but it was Chris Wilcox. I don't have any close personal acquaintances, so Stephen just said hello and continued to throw the equipment into the fire.

"370 five pounds, how did you pull it?" At first, the two practiced separately, and neither of them spoke, but when Stephen was practicing a pulling machine, Wilcox suddenly walked by, casually After looking at the above data, he suddenly exclaimed in surprise that he also practiced this kind of equipment frequently, and the maximum was 320 pounds, and he never exceeded 330 pounds.

And as far as he knows, every ten pounds of weight increases means that he is in a heavyweight class, 370 pounds. I really don't know if Stephen was transformed from a devil in hell. His muscles don't have any protrusions. How can there be so much strength, it is really very strange.

With his interest so much, he stopped training. He just stood next to Stephen and watched Stephen exercise. Stephen gave him a displeased look, which not only affected Stephen's mood of exercise, but also made Stephen dare not let it go. After all, Stephen didn't want people to see him as a humanoid beast.

After all, the muscle type is not as good as those black players. Although Stephen has great strength, his explosive power is his shortcoming, and this kind of dead strength used in this test is Stephen's strength. If Stephen is allowed to use all his strength, Basically, every item will exceed the data of ordinary people by more than three times. [ ]

"I know how those people who are facing you feel. It's because of your power. They didn't lose at all." Wilcox sat down to the side and watched with interest Well, before Stephen came to the Sonics, he didn't have any chances to match up with Wilcox. Afterwards, the team trained two people always as a team, and he had no chance to match up with Stephen, so he never had an intuitive impression of Stephen's strength advantage, and now he finally knows.

"Hehe, there's no other way. We have no other advantages. We just need to be bigger than others." Stephen said humbly. Stephen really didn't plan to use his strength as a strength to attract people's attention. Let others only know that he is strong. , To what extent is it specific, it is better not to be known by too many people.

So Wilcox was shocked when he saw Stephen's strength data today. This is Stephen's best training method. Wilcox was intimidated by Stephen's ability and forgot to come here for a while Depressed mood.

He is not depressed because of the team's loss. Although there are some factors, he is mainly depressed because of his declining team status and tactical status in the team. In the team, his status and importance are becoming more and more Although he still has a starting title, he still looks unshakable, but in the starting five, his tactical status is the lowest one. Every time the team needs to make changes, the head coach is the first. The only replacement is myself.

It turns out that in the team, I am at least the third player in the team, and in terms of tactical status, I am the No. Even the third person can't do it, Kurt Thomas and Watson both have signs of surpassing themselves.

Not to mention the tactical status. In the team's new tactics, although the role of self seems to have a high degree of freedom, it properly shows that there is nothing to do without self. Stephen has breakthroughs, and Durant and Walter have outside shooting. Sen, who has Coupard in the inside attack, plays a pick-and-roll coach and thinks his own pick-and-roll quality is not good.

Wilcox believes that this new tactic does not take into account his own ability, and although he does not have the height and stature of Coupard, he also has the face-up attack ability and mid-range shooting ability that Coupard does not have. Moreover, the quality of the pick-and-roll of the two is not too high, why is it always themselves who are blamed.

The same is true for pick-and-roll defense. Neither I nor Coupard's foot movement is too strong. After he replaced himself, he didn't have any complaints about Coppard. The friendship between the two in private was better than Stephen's friendship with him, but what he cared about was the treatment of both parties.

He is now the team's second-highest-paid player, second only to Kurt Thomas, but his seniority in the Sonics is longer than Kurt Thomas. It stands to reason that the boss of the locker room should be himself, regardless of Stephen's ability. No matter how high it is, it cannot be snatched away.

But among the players there is Robert Horry, who is far greater than himself in terms of qualifications and fame, but he obviously supports Stephen's faction, and among the young players, there is Coupard who will stand up to support Stephen at any time. So the locker room was firmly in Stephen's hands from the very beginning.

However, since Stephen came to the team, he has proved himself with his ability. No one dares to doubt this. The strength on the court is always the best proof. Wilcox did not want to challenge Stephen's authority in the past. Know it's impossible.

But what he didn't expect was that this concession would lead him to his current status. Strictly speaking, he is not a native of the Sonics. The Sonics, which makes him a bit closer to Coupard in nature.

The real local gang should be Nick Collinson and Luc Credno. They were both players selected by the Supersonics in [-]. Although Watson was also selected by the Supersonics, he is only here. Played for one season, then went to Memphis, and then moved to Denver before returning to Seattle.

Therefore, the relationship between Watling and Wilcox is very good. The two belong to the semi-native gang. This season, Stephen made a strong debut with the support of the management and coaching staff. He is both famous and capable. Jia, and with the help of Robert Horry and Coupard, the native gang and the semi-native gang can keep their right to speak.

These gang affiliations have no effect on the court. If they did that, they would have been attacked by the coaching staff and management, but there are still differences in private. This relationship will naturally affect the performance of the players on the court. Because of familiarity and understanding, it is naturally much more convenient to cooperate.

"Chris, what's the matter recently? It feels like you've lost a little passion. You didn't play like this before." During the break, Stephen wiped the sweat from his head with a towel and asked Will Cox, as the commander on the field, naturally knows which player is active and which player is passive.

The same is running on the field, shooting, rebounding, covering, blocking, and defending positions. There is a difference between active and passive. Wilcox did not show laziness, nor did he work hard It's just that he is not as excited and happy to play as before. If he is lazy, Stephen will not ask this question. It is because he feels that there is still medicine to save him, so Stephen wants to ask.

"At the end of this season, I want to leave." Wilcox did not deny his own thoughts. Once the season ended, he became a restricted free agent. As long as a team offered a contract, the Sonics did not match. If not, he belongs to another team.
