Chapter 73: Raptors

　　 Returned to Philadelphia for the second preseason game.
　　 This is the first time the 76ers have made their home court appearance!
　　 It's autumn in Philadelphia in October.
　　 The sun shines during the day, and the temperature can reach 20 degrees. At night, it was eight or nine degrees cold.
　　 However, the Philadelphia 76ers fans tonight are very hot. Nearly 15,000 people entered the arena.
　　 This is just a preseason game, and it attracted so many viewers!
　　 The home of the 76ers, Philadelphia's main stadium, Wachovia Center.
　　 This is a large basketball stadium that Philadelphia just built this year.
Because it was the first game in the new arena, because the 76ers just returned from a big victory, and because today’s opponent is the Raptors with No. 2 pick Marcus Camby, the fans really look forward to this game. The value is very high.
　　 In the audience, it is easy to see a lot of support signs, which are also very conspicuous.
　　 "Allen Iverson!"
　　 "Son of Philadelphia!"
　　 "This is the champion!"
　　 Philadelphia is really too many Iverson fans.
　　 The 76ers beat the Knicks in the first game, and Iverson's perfect performance is the most important thing. His cool style of play is even more sought after by fans.
　　 Even with so many fans, Iverson is still cool.
　　 The more Iverson has such a personality, the more fans like it.
　　 Even if he waved his hands casually, the fans screamed.
　　 "Ah! Iverson, I love you!"
　　 Watching Iverson surrounded by fans, Stackhouse felt a little frustrated.
　　 He was the scoring leader of the team last year. He was the No. 3 pick last year. He was the rookie first team player last year.
　　 As a result, a year of hard work is still no match for the champion.
　　 However, Stackhouse will not give up.
　　 At least he is still the 76ers starting shooting guard. As long as he has a wonderful game, he will definitely be able to capture the hearts of fans!
　　 However, the head coach Davis cruelly put out the flames of Stackhouse hope.
　　 "Position 2, Lee!"
　　 Stackhouse thought he had heard it wrong, and some of the substitutes present also thought they had heard it wrong.
　　 Only Iverson smiled and reached out to Li Nan.
　　 "Man, we can finally fight together!"
　　 One black and one yellow are holding two hands together. "Happy cooperation!"
　　 Stackhouse sat on the bench with an ugly expression. "What did I do wrong?"
　　 The gossip duo at the end of the bench made no secret of their envy and hatred.
　　 "Wow! Lee actually made the debut!"
　　 "It would be great if I started, I can play for a lifetime!"
　　 "Blanco, do you think the next start will change?"
　　 "Hi~ Do you mean I still have a chance to start?"
　　……
　　 "Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Wachovia Center in Philadelphia..."
　　 The host of the scene specially prepared an opening, he wanted to introduce the participating players to everyone.
　　 "The first thing I will introduce to you is the visiting Toronto Raptors."
　　In an instant, the host became ill and began to introduce weakly.
　　 "Doug Christie~"
　　 "……"
　　 "Marcus Camby～"
　　 "……"
　　 "Damon Stoudemire~"
　　 The host knew it well, and used a soft tone at the beginning to blow the morale of the opponent.
　　 The fans are also willing to cooperate, just clapping their hands symbolically.
　　 After arriving at the home team, the host came alive all at once, and his voice instantly became louder.
　　 "The following are the fighters from the Philadelphia 76ers, they are Frank King~~"
"Oh!"
　　 Frank King was the first to play, a little nervous, but he enjoyed the cheers of the audience.
　　 "This feels great!"
　　……
　　 Every player on the field was warmly welcomed.
　　 "Jerry Stackhouse!"
"Oh!"
　　 Although the voice was loud, Stackhouse was not happy at all.
　　 "Next, I want to introduce today's 76ers starting!"
　　 The audience can't understand it.
　　 "Isn't Jerry the starter? Oh my god, is Davis's brain flooded? Don't use it to search for flowers? Go to start a newcomer?"
　　 "Hey, there is an Asian who hasn't played there yet! Who is he? How could he be the starter?"
　　 "That's Lee! Lee is going to start today? My goodness! He actually squeezed Jerry out of the starting position!"
　　 "Uh, let me ask, who is Li?"
　　 Many people on the scene didn't even know that the team had such a new player, but the host was there to help everyone out.
　　 "No. 9, Li, a talented guard from China. He is the hope of the entire Chinese people and the light of Asia. He is the brightest star of the Atlanta Olympics. He is..."
　　 This introduction, Li Nan himself was a little embarrassed.
　　 "Brother, don't you hurt me, okay?"
　　 However, although those evaluations do not belong to him yet, Li Nan will work hard to make it a reality.
　　 stood up, high-five with Iverson and Coleman, and then Li Nan stepped into the field resolutely.
　　 The voice on the scene suddenly became a little weaker, and Li Nan clearly saw some fans rubbing their eyes in disbelief.
　　 "Heh~Are you guys? Isn't it normal for you to be the first?"
　　 There was a little embarrassment at the scene, but Stackhouse's mood at the moment was calmed a lot, "Sure enough, the fans' eyes are sharp."
　　 When I arrived at Iverson, the scene just exploded.
　　 "Oh oh oh!!!"
　　 "Allen! Allen! Allen!"
　　 Iverson’s popularity ~EbookFREE.me~ even the finale Coleman can't compare!
　　 Coleman frowned, but still smiled forcefully.
　　 The new season has not yet started, but the team is undercurrents.
　　 Head coach Davis has a headache.
　　 "It's hard for me!"
　　 beep beep! ! !
　　 The referee greeted both sides to start.
　　 This game is said to be a confrontation between the arranged champion and the second place.
　　 However, it was actually a direct conversation between the 96th overall pick and last season's best rookie Damon Stoudemire!
　　 Damon Stoudemire, the flying squirrel, was selected 7th in the first round by the NBA rookies Toronto Raptors in the 1995 NBA Draft.
　　 In the 1995-96 season that followed, the Flying Squirrel won the league’s "Rookie of the Month" award twice in November 1995 and January 1996.
　　 During the 1996 NBA All-Star Weekend held in the middle of the season, the Flying Squirrel was selected for the rookie game with his outstanding performance and won the "Most Valuable Player" award.
　　 What's more commendable is that the excellent performance of the flying squirrel lasted for a whole rookie season.
　　 After the end of the season, he was not only selected to the NBA All-Rookie Team, but also won the NBA 1996 "Rookie of the Year" award.
You know, the rivals of Flying Squirrel are violent champion Lang Joe Smith, springman Antonio McDyess, high scorer Jerry Stackhouse, North Carolina Rashid Wallace and high school. Wizards Kevin Garnett and others, the difficulty of winning can be imagined.
　　 Iverson vs. Damon Stoudemire, who is the better one?
