Standing pretty old

Chapter 560 The Other Side

"Hey! Everyone, have we forgotten something important? I always feel a little flustered!" Lunar Eclipse on the plane said suddenly.

"Go to sleep, J-Smoove, you're just thinking that you're going to participate in the All-Star Game for the first time, so you're overexcited." Jiongjisen in the front row persuaded.

"No, the excitement of participating in the All-Star has long passed, there must be something else, why can't I remember it?" Lunar Eclipse patted his head and said.

Ruan Erniu said at this time: "Fortunately, J-Smoove reminded me, otherwise I really forgot! We did keep a bunch of Andrew Jackson in the Palace of Auburn Hills!"

"Let me just say..." Lunar Eclipse was so excited that he almost jumped up, but he calmed down quickly, and said with some concern, "It's been so long, is the money still on the ceiling?"

Ruan Erniu said with a smile: "If your share is gone, I can compensate you!"

Lunar Eclipse shook his head and said, "Are you kidding me? Even if you pay me double, there is no way to make up for the trauma I have suffered in my heart!"

Seeing that the lunar eclipse was funny, everyone suddenly laughed happily.

The former Palace of Auburn Hills was a difficult mountain to conquer, but for the current Eagles, this is just a position for them to easily win.

On the night of the 12th, the Eagles drove to the Palace of Auburn Hills by bus.

Everyone walked into the visiting team's locker room in a daze, Ruan Erniu pressed his hands down, and immediately suppressed the restlessness of the crowd.

He glanced at the still old ceiling and said to everyone: "Now is the time to witness the miracle!

Newcomers on the team, I must tell you that last year, we played very anxiously against the Pistons. The score was 3:2. We made a wish to end the series in this away game and never drag the battle seven.

So, I asked everyone to hand over 20 yuan each, and put the money in the ceiling compartment.The final result must be clear to everyone. We defeated the Pistons, defeated the Celtics, and finally defeated the Lakers, successfully winning the team's first championship trophy in 50 years.

Well, now..."

Ruan Erniu moved a chair casually, and stood on it under the expectant eyes of everyone, then he slowly stretched out his arm, and opened a corner of the ceiling partition...

In the familiar position, a dark red mark is still there, provided that no one touches all of this.

For a rich man with a minimum annual salary of hundreds of thousands of yuan, a small amount of 20 yuan is really nothing.

Why does Ruan Erniu's actions at this time affect people's hearts so much?

Because what he took out was not just the few 20-meter yuan, what he took out was the historical witness of a team that gradually transformed last season and successfully completed a gorgeous turn at a critical moment.

Someone has already raised their mobile phone to take a picture of this scene. On the surface, it seems insignificant, but in fact it is pinned on the determination of the Eagles, a young team, to mature.

Ruan Erniu stretched his hand in, and everyone present focused their eyes on him.

Even if there is a slight change in Ruan Erniu's face, everyone will immediately become nervous.

Fortunately, Er Niu didn't keep everyone waiting for a long time. He stretched out his hand and held a stack of rice yuan tied with a rubber band in his hand.

"Long live!"

"HAWKS!"

……

I don't know who yelled first, anyway, the entire locker room was filled with cheers in just a few seconds!
The photo of Ruan Erniu holding up the cash was photographed, and this action became a frozen moment.

There is a happy and peaceful atmosphere on the Hawks side, but on the other side of the same player tunnel, in the Pistons locker room, the atmosphere is particularly dignified.

In fact, since the exchange of Billups and Allen Iverson, the lively and united atmosphere of the past has long been lost.

Joe Dumars has done an incomprehensible business.

If the purpose of trading Billups is to give Rodney Stuckey, the Piston's spicy chicken, more opportunities, then trading Iverson is completely incomprehensible.

With AI on the outside, who can compete with the four-time scoring champion for the ball?
What's more serious is that the chemical reaction that the Pistons have cultivated for a long time has been completely wiped out.

The "answer" has never been a traditional organizer, but this once-winning Pistons has long been accustomed to Chauncey Billups' reasonable distribution of the ball.

Substituting players is like changing knives. In the final analysis, the overall combat effectiveness of a team depends on whether the players can produce a good chemical reaction.

Whether it is temperament or style of play, AI does not match the blue-collar workers in the Motor City.

In the context of the Nuggets' triumphant progress because of the arrival of Billups, Iverson has received the greatest criticism.

Who is the number one cancer recognized by the league now?

There is no second choice, that is, Allen Iverson, who is still loved by fans, but is considered by all teams to never win the championship without him.

After AI returned to the Eastern Conference, he was still elected as the All-Star starter with a high number of votes, which proves that this passing guard still has an unshakable position in the hearts of fans in the United States and even fans all over the world.

Talking to AI fans, there is no way to talk about data, because they "love AI all his life". For them, Iverson, who is 183cm tall and must be filled with water, is the supreme existence, because that is their belief.

But this Mr. Faith is so powerless in the face of reality.

The Pistons have a record of 27 wins and 23 losses so far this season, which is just a record that can barely squeeze into the playoffs.

Before playing against the Hawks, they had already suffered a two-game losing streak. In the past 10 games, they lost 6 of them.

The general reason for all this is that it is difficult for the Pistons to reconcile the distribution of ball rights and defensive intensity when Iverson and Hamilton are on the court at the same time.

It's unclear whether it was the idea of ​​head coach Michael Curry or general manager Dumars, but the Pistons finally decided to put Hamilton on the bench and stagger the playing time of the team's two leading scorers to maintain offensive firepower.

This behavior immediately caused various media to make various speculations and evaluations.

Many tabloids are saying that Iverson has actually broken with the Pistons. Pistons players don't like the four-time scoring champion. role.

Even the news that Iverson and Hamilton ignored each other in the team, and even fought, it was hard to tell whether it was true or false for a while.

But what is certain is that Iverson, a lonely hero, is indeed contrary to Detroit's strict and conservative style of play. No matter how you look at it, Iverson will not renew his contract with Detroit after the contract expires this year. all the way.

Looking at Iverson wearing the No. [-] jersey is really embarrassing.

From Philadelphia to Denver, and from Denver to Detroit, the once popular icon is heading for a career decline.

Time flies, time flies, the youth and glory of the past will eventually become history and memory, and the only thing that remains the same may only be the remembrance and imagination of the fans for those classic pictures.

Allen Iverson, the memory of an era, even though he is no longer beautiful, even if he is hard to return to the top, but he is still the greatest existence in the hearts of a group of fans.
