Now as China's basketball atmosphere is getting stronger and stronger, many people like to watch NBA , and now there are many superstars in the NBA, such as Curry, Leonard, James, etc. . There are many outstanding players in the active NBA. With the change of times and dynasties, the understanding of the old generation of stars has gradually faded, such as Kobe, Iverson, Tracy McGrady, Carter . Span1span these four people can be said to be very impressive to the older generation of fans. Their NBA careers were shining in the first few years. Among them is the shortest champion that many fans miss- Iverson . Today we will tell about the transformation of a teenager with a height of only 183cm to the shortest champion in the NBA.
Iverson’s growing up experience can be said to be full of sadness and helplessness. His mother became pregnant when she was 15 years old. His mother had no choice but to give birth to him. In other words, when Iverson was born, his mother was only 15 years old. His mother had no other choice but to take him to find his father. But the area where his father lived was full of all kinds of black violence. Race discrimination and so on. The black people at that time were treated unequal to a certain extent, so his mother could only take him away from home, but they didn't know it, and what awaited them was a worse living environment.
As Iverson grew up, his mother also had hope for life. After all, every mother hopes that her children can succeed. But at the time his mother didn't want Iverson to study hard, get excellent grades, go to a good university, and find a good job. Iverson’s mother is very optimistic about the sport of basketball.I believe that only through playing basketball can Iverson be able to get ahead and make this family live a better life. But Iverson, who was young at the time, did not agree with his mother's ideas. He told his mother: He didn't like basketball, he wanted to play football. When my mother heard this answer, she was surprised and said to him: "Child, you can only get ahead by playing basketball. You have to give up rugby and go to basketball." , Iverson was finally willing to contact basketball, but he did not give up rugby and football. He would also play rugby and football from time to time, and also led the football and football teams to get better results. But his mother always persuaded him to concentrate on basketball. There was also a touching story. At that time, Iverson’s family situation was not very good. Her mother needed to do many part-time jobs to make ends meet. But once his mother was determined to use their family. For the next half month's living expenses, I will buy Iverson a pair of good basketball shoes. Iverson is very happy to see the new basketball shoes. He also understands his mother's good intentions, so he starts to take basketball seriously.
The effort paid off. In the 1996 NBA draft , Iverson was picked by the 76ers at the time. It is worth mentioning that Iverson became NBA history. The shortest champion in the last. And Iverson at the time was also questioned by the outside world. They didn't believe that this young man with a height of only 183cm could make a difference in the future, because in that era, the NBA was a world of tall people, and people habitually considered short A tall person is not suitable for playing basketball. But in the future, Iverson broke the doubts of the outside world. In Iverson's first NBA trip, he scored 30 points, which made many people admire him. Iverson’s influence is far more than that. He entered the NBA and saw hope and encouragement for those small men who like to play basketball. In many places, a trend of short men’s playing has emerged.I personally think that from this perspective, Iverson can be said to have influenced a generation. He made more short people like basketball and love basketball. This will also be reflected in the future NBA, such as "the surface of the strongest 175" Thomas, Paul and others, although they are not tall, but they also played their own results.
For Iverson, the battle of fame may be the 2001 finals. That year Iverson led the team and made it difficult to advance to the playoffs . In the playoffs, they met the young and energetic OK combination, young and energetic Kobe and O'Neal. The Lakers they lead have always been favored by the outside world. Kobe also showed his talent to the fullest, so when they met in the playoffs, the outside media believed that the Lakers at the time would sweep the 76ers . But for Iverson, he doesn't care about these media speculations, and he doesn't worship Kobe like a god. Know how to respect opponents, but he hopes to defeat opponents with his own strength. In the first game of the Finals, he tried his best to score every point and grab every ball. Finally, he led the team and defeated the well-known ko combination. Moreover, he was on the Lakers’ home court without home court advantage. Ferson alone led the team to fight , but because the Lakers at the time were too strong and the 76ers were too weak, in the following games, Kobe and O'Neal both used their housekeeping skills and pressed the 76ers deeply. Friction on the ground made them miss the championship.
The data of Iverson from 2000 to 2001 season was very dazzling. In the first round of the playoffs, Iverson eliminated the Indiana Pacers with his outstanding performance. In the second round, Iverson met the Toronto Raptors led by Carter. In these games, Iverson’s statistics are very dazzling.Especially in Game 2 and Game 5, he scored 54 and 52 points. You know that the last person who can get this data is Jordan . Iverson is the second person after Jordan to score 50 in two games in the playoffs. And people will always remember that in the game against the Lakers, Iverson pulled back with a crotch and knocked down the classic picture of Tylen Lue. Here I will talk about my personal opinion. At the time, Tyronn Lu was sent by the coach to guard Iverson. As far as the matter is concerned, Tyronn Lue’s death-wound defense is indeed powerful. At that time, Iverson played very hard. Although he could score and score goals, he consumed a huge amount of physical strength in the face of Tylen Lue. To a certain extent, this promoted the emergence of Iverson crossing Taryn Lue. From then on, people remembered that Iverson also knew Taren Lue.
People at the time passed the 2001 playoffs and their expectations for Iverson were greatly increased. People seemed to think that the 76ers' strength would be greatly improved, and Iverson would continue to usher in his glory. career. But no one thought that it would be Iverson's peak battle, which made people sigh. In the following years, in the latter part of Iverson's career, Iverson encountered various things and left the team many times. But there is a sad thing that Kobe is still at the peak of his career, while Iverson has begun to decline, and the distance between these two rare opponents is getting farther and farther. I’ve seen such a video once, in which Iverson said: " have you ever seen the scoring king play on the bench? Have you seen the All-Star play on the bench..." He was so rebellious that he had no ball to play.
Finally, on October 30, 2013, Iverson returned to the former 76ers and retired his jersey. When Iverson kissed the 76ers floor, many people burst into tears. The former "answer" is far away from us after all. His changes have swayed the youth of many people, and the once "king of changes" has officially withdrawn from the stage of history. I will not comment on Iverson’s negative comments, and we don’t have to go into it and imitate it. What we can do is to express our respect to him, and let his spirit of never admit defeat and never give up, live in our hearts forever. "10 Years of Philadelphia, 10 Years of God", although the "answer" is far away, but the spirit he brought us is worth remembering forever, maintaining a high degree of love for basketball, don't give up, don't surrender, and face it bravely. In fact, it's not just about basketball, this spirit is a positive attitude to things, it can guide many things in our lives, pay tribute to Iverson, the answer will last forever!
