Chapter 228: Late for the game

On the evening of January 22, Philadelphia, the gloomy weather, the clouds in the sky were very thick, and it felt like it was very dark and heavy, and the sky might collapse at any time.
Today, the Wachovia Center Arena, home of the Philadelphia 76ers, is full again!
"Wow!"
"We are number one! We are number one! We are number one!"
"Let\'sgo, 76ers!"
"Defeat the Pacers! We have to be number one."
The atmosphere on the scene was exceptionally warm, with excited expressions on the faces of every 76ers fan.
Before the game, the game attracted much attention and there were many things to watch.
First in the East vs. Second in the East!
Can the 11-game winning streak continue?
Is the All-Star coach Larry Brown or Larry Bird?
Everyone thinks this will be a battle.
...
Before the game, some media reported some bad news.
"Allen Iverson missed the team's training again today."
Philadelphia fans didn't take it seriously, everyone has long been used to it.
However, in the Sixers locker room before the game, the atmosphere of the team was a bit not so good.
"Has he not come yet?"
Larry Brown's complexion is not very good.
Late for the game, this was the first time Iverson had such a situation.
Larry Brown no longer cares about training late, absent, leaving early and so on. But, your kid is late for the game now, how do you not put me in your eyes?
"Coach, he can't get through on his cell phone, maybe, maybe, probably, he'll be here soon."
Davis answered weakly.
The rest of the team looked a little uncomfortable.
The whole team will serve you alone in the game, and now we have to wait for you alone. Although you are really good, but your appearance is really chilling.
"He must have been delayed. Everyone, everyone knows how serious Allen is for the game. He never arrives late for no reason."
Li Nan stood up to help Iverson. Although I don't know what Iverson is doing, Li Nan knows that Iverson can prioritize things.
Snow, the younger brother of Iverson, responded quickly, "Everyone, Allen has always been very serious about the game. Every time he goes on the court, he is the most desperate person. We should not doubt him."
Several people stood up to help Iverson speak, everyone also thought about Iverson's usual generosity, and their hearts were a little angry.
"Well, don't wait, this time Clarence will start."
Running out of time, Larry Brown had to temporarily change the starting lineup.
As for Iverson, Larry Brown has no time to think about it.
...
When the host introduced the players to the stadium, many fans found the difference.
"Lee is the finale? Where is Allen?"
"What's the matter? There is no Allen in today's starter? Is it a mistake?"
"Alan did not participate in training today and was banned by Larry Brown again?"
The Pacers were also taken aback.
"coach?"
"Uh, since that kid didn't come, then you can concentrate on dealing with that Chinese Li."
"Ok!"
Reggie Miller rubbed his hands.
Reggie Miller always caught fire in his heart every time he met Lee.
"Iverson, who has no spoiler today, believe the game will be more fun, right?"
.....
On the sidelines in front of the technical stage, the three referees gathered together.
The referee of today's game is Tim Donaghy, who is only 30 years old.
"Tim, our game~~" another referee Mike Callahan asked quietly, his eyes fixed on Tim Donaghy.
The other referee also looked at Tim Donaghy.
Tim Donaghy squinted his eyes, and the disgusting kid appeared in his mind.
Donaghy feels uncomfortable every time he sees the guy with the ditch and the tattoo all over his body.
That kid is so arrogant, I really don't like it.
Finally, Donaghy also made up his mind.
"In order not to have many dreams at night, we~"
Donaghy's eyes told the other two people the answer.
For this game, just follow the instructions above.
...
The starting players from both sides played.
Pacers: Mark Jackson, Reggie Miller, Chris Mullin, Dale Davis, Rick Schmitz,
76ers: Eric Snow, Li Nan, Clarence Witherspoon, Derek Coleman, Ben Wallace.
Beep!
The referee Tim Donaghy blew the whistle of the game.
Then, in the first round, the Pacers attacked.
Reggie Miller was uncomfortable being stared at by Li Nan, especially the hand on the waist. When Reggie Miller was about to slip away, he was always stunned.
Just at this time.
Beep!
Just 14 seconds after the game started, referee Tim Donaghy sent the first foul whistle.
"Pulling a foul, 76ers, No. 9!"
This is Li Nan's foul!
This is the home court of the 76ers, and Li Nan was blown out in the opening.
Larry Brown walked to the sidelines in protest, "This is a checkhand! It's not a foul!"
Many fans at the scene also shouted, "Black whistle!"
"I rub! Is it so blatant?"
Li Nan quietly looked at Tim Donaghy, the famous black whistle in the future.
Donaghy was a little uncomfortable being seen, and quickly turned away blindly.
"Is this game going to lose like this? Is Iverson going to be squeezed out of the All-Star Game again?" Li Nan narrowed his eyes and suddenly opened again.
"No! I won't let you succeed."
Reggie Miller beside Li Nan was just a little confused. "Does the referee give face so much? It's great."
However, Reggie Miller is even more happy now, because he found that the defensive actions of the kid around him are much cleaner.
Without these little moves, would you still want to catch up with me?
Reggie Miller quickly ran up, and with the help of his teammates, it was much easier than before.
Catch the ball, three-pointer, shot.
The action is done in one go!
Whoosh!
Reggie Miller ran to Li Nan and said,
"Boy, why don't you pull me? Go on."
Li Nan didn't say anything, but immediately responded with a three-pointer.
"Did you see it? The three-pointer was shot like this~EbookFREE.me~ Li Nan approached, and suddenly made a small movement of his elbow, pressing him with a slight or unimportant touch, and then ran away like everyone else.
"You!" Reggie Miller was furious, but he couldn't do anything blatantly.
Li Nan was also happy. What if you have a black whistle to help? Naturally, you still have to make a move when it is time to move. If you succumbed to death on the court, it might as well be punished.
Slowly, the game also opened.
This is, the single-core 76ers are easily targeted by the Pacers.
Four minutes into the game, the score was 13-6, and the 76ers were 7 points behind.
At this moment, there was a loud noise on the scene.
"Wow!"
It turned out that Allen Iverson hurried out of the player tunnel.
