Chapter 389 390. Lonely Hero (seeking tickets)
April 12
While the Bobcats were taking advantage of this rare opportunity to rest to adjust their status, another piece of news broke out in the league.
On this day, in the 76ers' away game against the Knicks, Iverson, the team's leading star, had a fierce physical collision with Eddie Curry under the basket during a layup.
Then he fell to the ground in the air, and was finally carried out of the field by the team doctor on a stretcher.
Before that, Iverson led the 76ers to fight the Knicks for three quarters. At the end of the three quarters, the 76ers still took the lead with a slight lead.
Just as Iverson was injured and left the field, the Knicks counterattacked under the joint efforts of Marbury and Crawford throughout the fourth quarter, and finally successfully reversed the 76ers and won the game at home.
After the game, Eddie Curry's foul action at the basket was also captured by the media.
Especially the fans in Philadelphia agreed that Curry's defensive actions were suspected of malicious fouls.
Iverson took off and had no sense of balance in the air at the time. After being actively hit by Curry's fat weight in the air, he lost his balance and fell to the ground, which eventually caused the injury.
In addition, the Knicks took advantage of the time when Iverson was injured and left the game to complete the reversal of the game.
The most important thing is that the head coach of the Knicks this season is called Larry Brown, and he is a head coach with an obvious criminal record.
Therefore, various public opinions have also pushed the current Knicks into the headlines.
Although the referee on the field did not give Eddie Curry a malicious foul, the fans still tirelessly flipped through the video of the game, threatening to find justice for Iverson.
However, the team did not have a game, and they handed over the training to Liu Rui of Montgomery. At this time, they also got this news while lying at home.
Unlike fans whose emotions are more easily incited by people, Liu Rui, who has been a man for two generations, knows very well that reporters will use exaggerated techniques when writing articles to attract traffic to their articles.
They don't care whether what they write is right or wrong, as long as personal privacy is not involved, they will not pay any price for this behavior.
Even if human life is at stake because of this article, at most they will be sentenced to 15 days of detention for the crime of posting bad comments online.
So compared to fans, Liu Rui trusts his own eyes to judge the nature of this matter.
However, Liu Rui did not blindly deny this article.
Because as some people said, Larry Brown used to be the head coach of the Pistons. After arriving in the Knicks this season, everyone expected him to lead this giant out of the quagmire.
As a result, the season has passed for so long. Instead of improving, the Knicks have regressed compared to last season, and are currently ranked second to last in the Eastern Conference.
Coupled with the reinforcement of this offseason deal, in order to get the little shark Curry, the Knicks sent two first-round picks to the Bulls.
He also paid a lot of money to hire the champion coach Larry Brown from the Pistons, but in the end he only achieved this kind of record. Not to mention the fans and management, even Larry Brown himself will definitely bear a lot of pressure from public opinion.
And in this situation, it might not be impossible to do some outrageous things, after all, it's not like he hasn't done this kind of thing before.
The video playback showed that after Iverson passed the ball past Crawford on the outside, the Shark Curry assisted in the defense from the flanks, and the two sides launched a physical confrontation in the air.
However, Curry's center of gravity is downward. First of all, this ball is definitely a defensive foul.
If you look at the movements alone, there is indeed no tendency to malicious fouls, but if this set of movements is coherent, then Curry has already exerted all his strength since he took off, putting his own weight on Iverson's body. This is already a performance of losing and losing.
Compared with Eddie Curry's weight, Iverson was like a fallen leaf shaking in the air, and he fell heavily to the ground without any suspense.
After the fall, Iverson was on the ground and couldn't get up. Judging from the scene, the injury may not be optimistic.
The 76ers are currently hovering at the eighth or ninth place in the East. If Iverson is injured in an accident, then the 76ers are likely to miss the playoffs this season.
So this is the main reason why Philadelphia fans are so angry.
After watching this video, Liu Rui touched his chin while lying on the sofa, as if lost in thought.
According to the normal trajectory, the 76ers this season did eventually miss the playoffs.
Even though Iverson finally played with injuries and played 72 games this season, he was still powerless.
In addition, for so many years, Iverson has played the role of a lone hero alone, leading the 76ers forward with difficulty, and his body is already covered with large and small scars.
With the rise of rookie players such as Iguodala, the 76ers also successfully sent Iverson to the Denver Nuggets in the end. Only then did the two-gun combination of Iverson and Anthony come about.
However, the 76ers who left Iverson basically became the bottom of the league, and Iverson who left the 76ers was also greatly dragged down because of the scars that year.
He still maintains his style of play as a lone hero, but he has forgotten that he is no longer the peak lone hero back then.
This also caused Iverson, who gradually began to mismatch the ball and his contribution, to be slowly abandoned by the Nuggets' tactical system.
In addition, the team has not been able to achieve very good results, so Iverson was once again sent to other teams, and this sending basically announced that Iverson's later career began to wander.
I have to say that as a small player, Iverson used his tenacious fighting spirit to lead the 76ers to a championship-level team step by step.
There is even a classic legend of once fighting the OK combination alone in the finals, scoring 48 points alone, and forcibly leading the team to win the game.
Basketball is certainly a five-person sport, but in that game, the 76ers, who went through overtime, only scored 107 points in the end.
In later generations, many people discussed whether Iverson led the team alone, and whether he really deserved the title of lone hero.
Some people say that the inside center of the 76ers that year was the African mountain Mutombo.
As a man who was born to block shots, Uncle Mu's career is of course very exciting.
But it seems that everyone has forgotten how Uncle Mu was smashed by O'Neal in the finals of that year, turning the world upside down.
In terms of fame, Uncle Mu is naturally a star, but his performance in the finals that year is indeed open to question.
Because in the first game Iverson led the team to win, O'Neal, who was defended by Mutombo, scored 44 points, 20 rebounds and 5 assists.
As one of the greatest small players in history, Iverson experienced the favor of the Nuggets, Pistons and Grizzlies in his later years.
But in the end Iverson rejoined the Philadelphia 76ers before retiring and retired as a 76ers player.
And after returning to the arena where he played in that year, the scene of Iverson kneeling and kissing the floor is still vivid.
Heroes will eventually fade away, but memories will last forever...

The last sentence of the old cat will be given to Kobe today. Congratulations to the boss for being successfully selected into the Basketball Hall of Fame yesterday.
It's just... we'll never see you with a thin beard, a crisp suit and shiny shoes, stepping up to the podium to give that impassioned speech.
In this era when you can watch the world with a mobile phone, we have heard too much chicken soup and experienced too many things.
But no matter whether you are poor or rich, the old cat is finally giving a word to all brothers who like basketball.
"If one day you forget to work hard, then I will tell you Kobe's story..."
Thank you Brother Wumengsheng for your daily rewards and support, thank you brother, thank you!
