Chapter 160: Compete with yourself?

Ribbons were flying in the audience, and O'Neal was still sitting on the bench. He still didn't quite believe the result.
He scored 44 points and 18 rebounds. His field goal percentage was 19 of 27. This game was lost!
It's incredible.
"I must have been witchcrafted today!"
Not only O'Neal didn't believe it, but his teammates were also at a loss.
Kobe looked at the guy who was thrown into the air, the skinny bone he hadn't looked down upon. Kobe couldn't think that that guy was so amazing.
Even if he doesn't have a strong body, that guy has an overall view that no one else has, and has a passing skill that no one else has.
A light suddenly appeared in Kobe's eyes.
He had been practicing with the team's trainers before, practicing defense, offense, and tactics. He himself was imitating Jordan's various tricks. He wants to learn everything, he wants to learn everything well.
However, he didn't even have his most sudden thing.
Starting today, he will do something more focused.
...
On the sidelines, the beautiful blonde Tina waited for a long time while holding the microphone, but it took a while for Nash to be pushed over.
"Steve, you~"
Unexpectedly, Tina just said something, but the fans who remained on the scene shouted in unison.
"Steve! Steve! Steve!"
Nash blushed a bit. For the fans, he was really flattered.
Tina smiled, and then had to increase her volume.
"Steve, your excellent performance in the second half revitalized the team, how did you do it?"
Nash answered like this.
"I want to thank Li. He is like my brother. Every day he urges me to get up early to train. Although I am older than him, I still want to thank him. Of course, I also want to thank my teammates for their trust. Thanks to Clarence, Derek, Jerry, Allen...Thanks to Coach Davis for his cultivation and the support of our 76ers fans. I like playing in Philadelphia, I love it here!"
Nash shouted out the last sentence directly.
The audience at the scene responded enthusiastically to him.
"Steve! Steve! Steve!"
...
News interview after the game.
Silver Fox Harris spoke highly of the 76ers.
"The strength of these 76ers should not be underestimated. Whoever underestimates them will pay a heavy price for it."
When O'Neal was asked about his feelings about the game, he answered like this.
"Oops! Terrible! I hate those guys who can only shoot!"
The 76ers coach Davis has a calm face, very calm.
They even defeated the Bulls, and he felt normal to win against a Laker. Of course, it would be no surprise if you lose.
The reporter raised a somewhat sharp question.
"Coach Davis, who do you think is more suitable as a point guard in your lineup? Steve? Or Allen?"
Davis has also been a headache for this problem, but he will not let the reporter succeed.
"Allen is our sharpest attack weapon. Without him, it would be difficult for us to win the game. Steve is like our engine. He makes the game smoother and easier."
Later, the reporter also asked about Iverson's injury.
"Everyone, please be patient, our team will announce it as soon as possible."
Davis was already absent-minded, ending the press conference, he also rushed over immediately.
...
In the hospital, Iverson leaned on the bed, and his left foot, which became an elephant leg, was hung up. Watching Nash's post-match interview on TV, Iverson also sighed.
"Oh, I did lose today."
Li Nan just appeared at the door of Iverson's bed.
"Lost? What did you lose?"
Li Nan looked at Nash on TV, and suddenly he knew something.
"Alan, aren't you competing with your own people today?"
"Ok."
What Li Nan didn't expect was that Iverson nodded and admitted.
Compared with Nash? Li Nan really felt a little funny. Iverson is so good that he still compares with a substitute.
"Alan, why didn't you compare me with you?"
"You?" Iverson looked at Li Nan seriously, and then said with disdain: "Li, it's not that I said you, you are really too weak."
Li Nan immediately caught fire, pretending to pull Iverson up.
"Damn! Get up! Let's go heads-up on the court now and take 100 three-pointers."
Iverson rolled his eyes once.
Three points every time! Besides, can you shoot like this?
Shameless!
...
Soon, the 76ers officially announced Iverson's injury.
Sprained left ankle, strained deltoid ligament, local redness and swelling.
At least three weeks of injury!
Three weeks, that means all the rest of the regular season can't be played~EbookFREE.me~ If the 76ers can't make the playoffs, then see Iverson next season.
News is also disturbing.
"The 76ers fought hard to win the Western Conference's Los Angeles Lakers, and Iverson was accidentally injured!"
"Is it a stepping stone to moral corruption, or is it really unintentional? The league should take it seriously!"
"The Sixers rookie shines on the field, he may be able to replace Iverson!"
"Iverson has been injured for at least three weeks, and the road to the 76ers' promotion has become extremely difficult."
Iverson’s injury is undoubtedly a huge blow to the 76ers who are still fighting for a place in the playoffs.
However, the 76ers' competitors are stealing pleasure from behind.
Magic is eager to grab seventh, and no one wants to run into the Bulls in the first round. Fighting the defending champion, isn't that looking for death?
The Cavaliers and the Bullets have been coveting the playoffs for a long time. No matter who his opponent is, he can make the playoffs. Getting into the playoffs is a lot of money for tickets. Why not do it?
In this way, the promotion situation of seventh and eighth in the east has become more subtle.
...
The Sixers are under great pressure.
When Coach Davis saw Iverson's injury report, he was not very well.
"Oh no! What a ghost! Is this kidding me?"
Iverson's injury recovery time is actually four weeks! That is one month!
Does the 76ers without Iverson rely on today's lineup to run wildly?
There are 11 games to come, three back to back.
"Is this devil schedule deliberately arranged by the league to fix me?"
Davis is not sure whether the team can go far, or whether he can make the playoffs, or whether he can keep his position as head coach next season.
The only thing he can do is to trust these players.
