Chapter 62: Singled out

　　 The Philadelphia 76ers are an NBA professional basketball team based in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA. It is part of the Atlantic Division of the Eastern Conference of the American Basketball Professional League (NBA).
As a veteran team, the 76ers participated in the NBA for decades, won the league championship in the 1954-55, 1966-67, 1982-83 three seasons respectively, and 9 semi-regional championships. .
　　 In the history of the team, there are many famous names such as Dorf Schays, "Basketball King" Wilt Chamberlain, "Dr. J" Julius Irving, Moses Malone, Maurice Cheeks and so on.
　　 In the 1995-96 season, the 76ers continued to rebuild.
　　 Dana Barros left Philadelphia as a free agent to join the Celtics, Sean Bradley was traded to the New Jersey Nets in exchange for power forward Derek Coleman.
　　 This season, All-Star power forward Coleman has only played 11 games due to injuries.
　　 Jerry Stackhouse from North Carolina has become a new hope for the team.
　　 In his debut season, Stackhouse averaged 19.2 points, 3.9 assists, 3.7 blocks, 1.1 steals, 1.1 blocks per game, and was selected to the All-Rookie First Team.
　　 But the team only scored 18 wins and 64 losses in the regular season. While being the bottom of the Eastern Conference, it also created another embarrassing NBA record: the first team to have a decline in winning percentage for 6 consecutive years.
　　 The poor results this season also directly caused the original boss to bear.
　　 After the end of the season, the original 76ers owner Harold Katz sold the team to Concas for $12.5 million, and the owner became Pat Cross.
　　 The original head coach and general manager John Lucas was laid off. The head coach and general manager positions were held by Johnny Davis and Brad Greenberg respectively.
　　 In the 1996 summer draft, the 76ers won guard Allen Iverson with the first overall pick.
　　 No. 1 pick Allen Iverson has unrivaled speed, dazzling dribbling, and the ability to score at will.
　　 Before he played for the 76ers, he had become the most exciting player in Philadelphia. Iverson completely covered up Jerry Stackhouse who supported the team last season. His popularity surpassed Coleman, an All-Star player who was reimbursed last season.
　　 Coleman is the second dream player and an All-Star power forward. His qualifications are there, and the team's position is naturally stable.
　　 And Stackhouse is a little uncomfortable. Coleman's return, coupled with the arrival of Iverson, his position became a bit awkward.
　　 Because of these, the old players in the training camp are bullying the small.
　　 However, because of this intra-team contest, the players have a better understanding of their strength and position.
　　 The team's management is very satisfied with this effect.
　　Today's training, boss Pat Cross, head coach Johnny Davis, general manager Greenberg, all these high-level executives came.
　　 "Huh? Who is that kid?"
　　 The head coach Davis, who was on the court for the first time, looked at the young man who was fighting with Iverson on the court, very confused.
　　 Greenberg also had the same expression.
　　Boss Pat Cross said lightly,
　　 "That is Li from China."
　　 Listening to the boss, the two felt a little peculiar smell.
　　 The boss really values ​​that Chinese boy?
　　 It's not right, isn't the boss who bought it to make money?
　　 Coach Davis frowned. "What should I do if the boss forces someone to play?"
　　General manager Greenberg also has a similar expression, sad.
　　 With a panoramic view of everything, Pat Cross's mouth bends, and he doesn't say much.
　　 At this time, Iverson and Li Nan on the court are still in various comparisons.
　　 An hour later, everyone else stopped, and they were still on the court.
　　 Off the court Davis and Greenberg looked at each other, their eyes were brilliant.
　　 The boss held his arms, very calm.
　　 After half an hour, Iverson and Li Nan finally stopped. Both of them were out of breath.
　　At this time, Iverson suddenly proposed, "Lee, how about a heads-up match?"
　　 "Just what I want!"
　　 There was a fire in Li Nan's eyes.
　　 Iverson gave another approving smile.
　　 There was another good show, and everyone in the room stopped and paid their attention.
　　 "One-on-one?"
　　 "That kid is really ignorant of the height of the sky."
　　 "Iverson will definitely win, don't even look at it."
　　 "This is not necessarily true. Maybe that kid won?"
　　 Stackhouse on the side clapped secretly.
　　 "Fight, fight, it's better to lose both!"
　　 The players are very concerned about this, and the off-court management is also very interested.
　　 "Iverson will blow that one up, right?"
　　 "I hope Iverson can give a little face to Chinese friends and don't make too much effort."
　　 Davis and Greenberg are optimistic about Iverson.
　　 Although the boss Pat Cross also thinks Iverson is better, but he puts hope in Li Nan.
　　 "Lee, can you guard against Ai?"
　　 Heads-up on the field began.
"You first!"
　　 Iverson fully carried forward the spirit of respecting the old and loving the young.
　　 Li Nan was disrespectful and accepted a gift.
　　 Just when Iverson finished passing the ball to Li Nan, Li Nan suddenly moved.
　　 three points!
　　 Li Nan is good at three points.
　　 Don't mess with those vain heads, throw them away if you have the opportunity. Of course, create opportunities to throw without a chance.
　　 Iverson didn't expect that Li Nan would shoot just before the middle circle. He was completely unprepared.
　　 "You won't get in, right?"
　　 Other people off the field also shook their heads, UU read www.uukanshu.com with a contemptuous smile.
　　 "What a mess."
　　 However, a crisp sound of "swish" stunned their mouths immediately.
　　 "In?"
　　 "Did this goal?"
　　 "Meng, right?"
　　 Off the court, the boss Pat Cross clapped his hands and smiled faintly, as if he had known the script in advance.
"It's your turn!"
　　 Iverson took the ball and his eyes were serious.
　　 "Lee, I'm going to be serious!"
　　 Since the last time he played a small trick to prevent Kobe, Li Nan is quite confident in his defense. I have an excellent body and a lot of experience. One-on-one, defending Iverson shouldn't be a problem, right?
　　 However, the facts proved that Li Nan thought too much.
　　 Iverson’s skillful movements made Li Nan dazzled by wearing flowers and butterfly steps.
　　 Mingming told himself not to be deceived, but his body moved involuntarily.
　　 Li Nan's move gave Iverson a chance.
"Pretty!"
　　 Iverson made an easy layup, and the guys off the court were very happy.
After 　　, the duel did not disappoint everyone.
　　 Li Nan's ball-holding attack is a three-pronged attack. Sitting back and arching, the golden rooster is independent, retreating and shooting.
　　 Li Nan's dribble is very difficult, and he has not made a breakthrough several times.
　　His three-pronged axe is also stuck tightly by Iverson, so it doesn't move; the Golden Rooster is a little reluctant because it is far from the basket; the retreat steps are similar. Li Nan's hit rate is quite impressive.
　　哐!
　　 Li Nan hit the iron for the fourth consecutive ball.
　　 "Huh~~"
　　 Li Nan's poor performance made the people off the court boo.
