Chapter 227: Top 1!

From now until the All-Star voting deadline on January 22, the 76ers have a total of 4 games in a week.
All four games were very strong opponents.
pioneer! eagle! piston! Walker!
The schedule is very tight, very dense, one more game than the Bulls and Pacers, but this is the opportunity for the 76ers to overtake.
As long as they win all, the 76ers will be able to take advantage of the winning field to get to the first position and push Larry Brown to the position of All-Star coach.
...
On January 17th, US time, the Philadelphia 76ers played at home against the Western Power Trail Blazers.
80-98!
The 76ers beat the Portland Trail Blazers by 18 points at home.
In this game, Iverson scored 15 of 30, scored 42 points, 3 assists, and 3 rebounds.
Iverson habitually takes 30+ shots, but this game surprised him very much.
He was very surprised by Li Nan's performance today.
From the opening to the garbage time of the fourth quarter, Li Nan spent 44 minutes without a break. 18 of 30 shots, 44 points, 5 assists, 8 rebounds
What surprised Iverson was the attitude of the 76ers!
Active and serious, this is what we have done before.
Today it is a fight!
fierce! Every ball is contested!
The 76ers' defense in this game is a bit like the playoffs.
"Is that the old man deliberately arranged it? Give Li more shots, let everyone compare us, and let the media put more pressure on me?"
Iverson shook his head, disdainful of Larry Brown's behavior.
"Want to force me to go back to training and be as obedient as these guys? hen~That's impossible."
Sure enough, after the game, in addition to the Philadelphia media, many foreign media people got involved.
"Iverson's independence annoyed Lee! The Philadelphia Twins' battle for power has reached a feverish stage."
"Larry Brown intends to increase Lee's playing time and shots. Does that mean something?"
"Philadelphia twins are fighting over and under and will fall apart this summer!"
...
Then, on January 19, the 76ers captured the Hawks 88-76 away.
Iverson, 13 of 31, scored 34 points and 3 assists
Li Nan played 47 minutes, 16 of 30, 39 points, 6 assists and 10 rebounds.
This is another defensive battle!
Finally, relying on the steady firepower of the Philadelphia Gemini stars, the 76ers had the last laugh.
Then, on January 20, back to back, the 76ers 90-84 away from the New Jersey Nets.
Iverson, 18 of 32, 42 points, 2 assists,
Li Nan played 46 minutes, 17 of 29, 40 points, 5 assists and 9 rebounds.
While the outside media was still staring at the Philadelphia Gemini's "struggle for power", the Philadelphia media suddenly reported!
"11 consecutive victories!"
"27-12!"
"The Philadelphia 76ers topped the Eastern Conference!"
Yes! Philadelphia 76 manpower overwhelmed the Bulls and Pacers to top the Eastern Conference!
The Bulls are now 26-12, and the Pacers are 26-11!
The first translocation in the east!
A lot of people in the media have changed their faces instantly.
"The 76ers' new tactics are very effective and fully release the scoring ability of the Gemini. Larry Brown really deserves to be a famous coach!"
"Allen is very threatening with the ball, and Lee's off-ball offensive efficiency is extremely high. This increases Lee's rotation time and the number of shots. This is the biggest reason for the 76ers' winning streak."
"No. 1 in the East! The Philadelphia 76ers have achieved the ultimate defense and offense!"
Of course, there are still some media people who have brought the problem back to the original point.
"Iverson is still absent from team training. If this goes on, it will last forever."
"The ditch, tattoos, hip-hop, players like Iverson have corrupted the image of the NBA."
"As a star player, I want to set a good example for young people. However, some people have played a bad role."
Media people are still talking about it. Some people just don't want Iverson to enter the All-Star Game.
...
In an office on the 15th floor of the Olympic Building on Fifth Avenue in Manhattan, New York.
Knocking~
"In!" David Stern's voice was a little impatient. I've said that there is no one to see today, why is this guy so insightless?
After a while, Duck Dan appeared in front of David Stern, "President, someone is looking for you."
boom!
Stern slapped his desk hard, "Didn't I say I was away?"
Duck Dan lowered his eyebrows and said, "However, they are members of the committee. I really can't stop them."
If you can't stop it, then someone has already arrived. Stern cursed in a low voice, "You idiot!" Then he got up and walked outside.
After the old man walked out, the duck-dan-joke behind was muttering, "Aren't we responsible for those committee members and the interests of the teams?"
There were many people sitting in the conference room, representatives of NBA teams, people from TV stations, representatives of partners...
David Stern walked in with a smile.
As soon as he entered, the meeting room became lively.
"David, you can't make that guy an All-Star, his image is really too bad."
"Ditch heads, lots of tattoos, and refusal to follow the rule of life, this kind of atmosphere is bad!"
"Players should pay attention to their own image, don't make themselves like a prisoner or street villain, basketball and hip-hop music should not be such a combination."
"If this continues, many middle-class families who value dress and atmosphere on weekdays will leave our stadium and switch to the NFL."
Stern has long known that many people don't like Iverson. Moreover, what these people say is indeed very reasonable.
It's just that he has already pressed Iverson's vote, what else are these people doing? Do you want to kill Iverson out of the NBA?
"Everyone, everybody, please stay calm, let's sit down and talk about this matter slowly."
David Stern is very composed,
However, these representatives are a little anxious.
"No, no, Mr. President, this can't be slow."
Someone also ordered it quickly.
The Philadelphia 76ers have now climbed to the top spot in the East. In other words, the head coach of this year's All-Star Game East is likely to be Larry Brown. With Larry Brown as the head coach, Iverson will definitely make the All-Star Game.
"On the night of the 22nd, there will be the last game of the 76ers Pacers, UU reading www.uukanshu.com, you must arrange it."
Arrange it?
Stern certainly understood what it meant.
"Well, I see, don't worry."
When Stern dealt with these people, the duck egg appeared in Stern's office with a low eyebrow.
"Duck eggs, go and arrange it."
Duck Dan was taken aback for a moment, and then agreed, "Okay, I'll do it right away."
What to do, what to do, the duck egg didn't ask, obviously, he was already familiar with it.
Duck Dan walked out of the office briskly, and Stern behind him shook his head.
"Hen~ these short-sighted guys!"
However, when he thought of today's events, Stern sighed again, "Oh~ the feeling of being pressed on my head is really bad, not good~"
