Chapter 224: 3 wins to the Bulls

The regular season continues.
After winning the Raptors, the 76ers ushered in a back-to-back game against the Hornets and Cavaliers. Both teams are now the 76ers' main competitors.
In the first game, the 76ers lost to the Hornets 101-94 at home.
Iverson, 12 of 26, 25 points, 3 assists, 2 rebounds,
Li Nan, 9 of 20, 21 points, 4 assists, 6 rebounds,
Snow, 6 points, 3 assists, 3 rebounds, 2 steals.
In the game, Larry Brown still put Snow in the starting lineup for the number one position.
Although the game was lost, Snow's performance in this game was satisfactory to Larry Brown.
Larry Brown also rarely praised Kwasnow after the game, "Eric, today they played like shit, you are the best on the team."
Snow also blushed a little, but he was really good at heart. "Coach, I will work harder in the future."
Of course, Snow knows that coach praise is only encouragement.
The praise is not because of how good he played, but because he completed the task assigned by Larry Brown.
The 8-second dribble half-time, the 8-second lead and pass to find the running Li Nan, the final 8-second ball directly to Iverson.
This is the fool's task assigned to Snow by Larry Brown.
With Iverson and Li Nan, Snow really didn't have much to do.
The game was lost because Iverson and Li Nan didn't play well enough, because Glen Rice, who was opposite the Hornets, scored 40 points today.
Then, back to back, the 76ers challenged the Cavaliers away.
101-97, the 76ers are united, 4 points to beat the Cavaliers.
This game,
Iverson, 13 of 25, 32 points, 2 assists, 1 rebound,
Li Nan, 12 of 20, 28 points, 5 assists, 7 rebounds,
Snow, 10 points, 10 assists, 3 rebounds, 2 steals.
For the first double-double, Snow was also directly given a thumb by Larry Brown.
Li Nan and Iverson both played very comfortably in this game.
After the game, Li Nan also hooked Snow's neck, "Eric, are you invited?"
Snow asked weakly, "Can I say no?"
...
Immediately afterwards,
On December 31, the 76ers won the Orlando Magic 102-90 away.
On January 2, the 76ers beat the Boston Celtics 103-91 at home.
In the two games, the 76ers worked step by step. Iverson had almost 25 to 30 ball handling opportunities, and Li Nan had 20 to 25 ball handling opportunities.
The ordinary Snow implicated Li Nan and Iverson well.
The 76ers slowly found the feeling of winning.
After winning the Celtics, the 76ers' record has come to 19-12, and their ranking has also jumped to No. 5 in the East.
In front of them are the Bulls with 21 wins and 10 losses, the Pacers with 20 wins and 10 losses, the Heat with 20 wins and 11 losses, and the Hornets with 19 wins and 11 losses.
After Longley retired from injury, the Bulls lost more games suddenly. The Pacers and the Heat behind them are all eyeing the No. 1 throne in the East.
And now, the 76ers are only three games away from the Bulls, and they have a chance to catch up.
.......
On the morning of January 3, the NBA officially announced the results of the first round of the All-Star Game.

1. Li Nan, 554,023 votes!

6. Kevin Garnett, 113,325 votes
7. Tim Duncan, 103,345 votes
8. Kobe Bryant, 95,686 votes
...
As soon as the voting data was released, it naturally aroused all kinds of opinions.
"It's the first round again with half a million votes. Isn't it too obvious to swipe the votes?"
"Why are the first and second places all foreigners? This is unscientific!"
"That's it again! That's how it started last year!"
"This is David Stern's conspiracy! I heard that he wanted to open up the Chinese market, so he resorted to this botched method."
"Everyone, vote for Michael! How can Michael lose to a foreigner? Absolutely not!"
"No, I'm going to find Stern! If he doesn't give me an explanation, I won't let him go!"
Many New York fans spontaneously went to the NBA headquarters building to ask for an explanation.
Many professionals are very dissatisfied with this voting mechanism.
"The NBA now has so many international players. They are all standing behind a country. I think we need to improve the All-Star voting mechanism."
"The All-Star voting mechanism must keep pace with the times. It must not only have the wishes of the fans, but also the wishes of our media."
"I propose that fans vote for 50% and media votes for 50%. Whoever has a higher proportion is the starter!"
The media and public opinions are raging...
...
Also on this day, Justin called and said that someone who claimed to be Duck Dan asked Li Nan to go out for a chat.
"No! I'm not free!"
Upon hearing the word "duck egg", Li Nan refused.
At this time last year, that guy found himself. As a result, he obviously didn't sign up for the dunk contest, so that guy just signed up for him. This man is too sinister. Maybe what moth came out this time.
As an agent, Justin still considers Li Nan. "But, he is an assistant to the president. This guy is likely to become an NBA president in the future. Let's not~"
Li Nan didn't give Justin a chance to finish.
"No no no, Justin, your idea is too un-American. I want to train now, no time, that's it."
The phone was cut off.
"Dududu~~"
"Am I too American?"
Justin on the other end scratched his head. Thinking about it carefully, I am indeed a bit too unAmerican.
It's too resolute to look forward and backward.
But, I weigh the pros and cons so much, didn’t you teach me Li?
.....
Although Li Nan refused the appointment, Duck Dan came to the door by himself.
White face, glasses, suit, leather shoes.
Duck Dan is a very gentleman.
"Uh~ that,"
On the side of the training court, the duck egg was about to call someone, but someone took the lead to speak.
"That who, get out! Is this where you can come in?"
Duck Dan suddenly saw Larry Brown's ferocious expression~EbookFREE.me~This, this, is this Coach Brown? Is this his brother? "
Seeing the duck egg indifferent, Larry Brown was also angry.
"Security! Security! What do you guys do for food? Quickly throw this unknown guy out to me."
A security guard trot over.
"Coach, he is Stern's assistant."
The duck egg also raised his chin, somewhat proud.
When this identity shines, Larry Brown will definitely treat himself courteously, right?
However, Larry Brown said coldly: "Do you want to be unemployed today?"
The security guard said nothing, and ran back to grab the duck egg by the collar, "Go!"
The duck egg struggled hard, blushing, "I, I am the duck egg, joke, I..."
