Chapter 49

"It is our coaching staff's right to decide who plays. No one can guarantee that Channing will have playing time. This is true for all players, and there is no privilege."

Cheeks fled in a hurry, but he didn't expect that his words would make those people with ulterior motives seize the opportunity.

An article titled "Channing's ability is not up to standard, the head coach said he will never play" was published on the Internet, and it quickly attracted everyone's attention, and many spam media added fuel to it.

"Being hidden in the snow, will Channing be excluded in the United States?"

"The new season has not yet started, and it is predicted that there will be no chance to play. When will Channing return to the CBA?"

These rumors caused panic in the hearts of the fans, but Channing never watched the news before the game, otherwise he would have been laughed at by the idiots of the domestic media.

On the night of October 10, the 31ers' home game against the Spurs is about to begin.Due to the poor record in recent years and Iverson's departure, many 76ers fans don't want to come to watch the game. Tonight is the first game of the new season, and it is still against the championship Spurs, so there are more spectators than usual Quite a lot.

The players began to appear one by one. DJ called out the names of the players with his magnetic voice, and the players who were called ran into the field from the player tunnel with excitement.

Channing was suddenly very excited. This was the first time he stepped on the NBA stage. In his previous life, he had watched countless live broadcasts of the games, but the feeling of being there in person was completely different.

In the narrow, long and deep player tunnel, the light is very dim, and I can't see anything, but I can clearly hear the enthusiastic cheers of the fans outside:
"Andre, you are Philadelphia's new answer!"

"Louis, I love you~"

The fans screamed and shouted one after another, and the American sports atmosphere was strong and enthusiastic, and Channing's heart suddenly beat very fast.

It seems to be hallucinating:
"Channing, when were you number one in Philadelphia?"

"You were number one in Philadelphia!"

"Just today, just today!"

"There are countless basketball players in the world, but the top 500 are in the NBA. Stepping into an NBA court, I am the strongest!"

"Jason ~ Smith!"

"Rodney~ Carney!"

The teammates whose names were called had already appeared on the stage, and Channing finally heard the long-awaited voice:
"Qian~~~~~~~~ Ning!"

Taking a deep breath, Channing opened his arms and glides out.

When the lights of the stadium were turned off, the darkness of the player tunnel was immediately left behind. All Channing could hear were cheers and cheers. The decibels were too high, making his scalp tingle. There were fanatical fans on both sides. They rushed to give him high fives, and even some female fans leaned out their upper body to take advantage of him, but Channing did not let these stinky women succeed. He always paid attention to protecting himself, ran into the stadium in one breath, and high-fived his teammates one by one. Finally, Channing came to his place and stood still.

"How does it feel to be the first time?" Andre Miller asked with a smile. He was not surprised by Channing's nervousness and excitement. Every player has such an experience, and Miller himself likes to recall The feeling of debut, nervous and exciting, excited and happy, extremely complicated mood.

"It's good, the fans are very enthusiastic, I like it very much."

Channing relaxed, raised his eyes and looked around, there were 76ers fans wearing black retro jerseys everywhere, filling about two-thirds of the Wachovia Center Stadium, which can accommodate 9 spectators. Iguodala's No. 23 jersey is the most, and Louis Williams' No. 3 jersey is also quite a lot. Many fans still wear AI's classic black No. [-] jersey, which moved Channing a little.

Looking up at the number of retired stars flying directly above the arena, Channing was full of thoughts. It was on this one night at the Wachovia Center that the heroes in the hearts of countless fans fought for the championship. In 1967, it brought a championship trophy to Philadelphia. In 1977, Dr. J Julius Irving staged a dunk from the free throw line. In 1982, the Rockets super center Moses Malone was introduced. Winning the championship, Fliggy Barkley was selected as the No. 1983 pick in 76, and the answer was Iverson in 1984.

Many heroes have left, and many more have arrived!

After the answer, who can be the new hero of Philadelphia?Tens of thousands of Philadelphia fans, who can be their master?
Chan Ning's blood is surging, and the road to becoming a hero is full of thorns, but he has nothing to fear!

"This game, let us get rid of San Antonio!" The players had just finished warming up, and Cheeks stood in the middle of the bench. "Philadelphia is never afraid of any opponent. If we kill the championship, we will be the strongest!"

Short words are full of power, Cheeks is very good at mobilizing the enthusiasm of the players, and then he announced the starting lineup for the game:

"Our starting lineup today is Andre Miller, Willie Green, Andre Iguodala, Reggie Evans and Dalembert. This is also our starting lineup last season. I hope you can Come out in a better state than last season and beat your opponent!"

Although Channing's special training performance made Cheeks impeccable, he did not put Channing in the starting list. Cheeks had his own considerations. On the one hand, many rookies looked headless in the first few games. Like a fly, he can't find his position. Cheeks wants Channing to sit on the bench and learn to observe carefully. On the other hand, as the head coach, Cheeks also needs to take care of Reggie Evans' face. In training, until Channing did not play a convincing performance in the official game, Evans' starting position was stable.

"However, it won't take long. I believe that with Qian's ability to adapt, at most five games, then I can justifiably let him replace Evans in the starting lineup." Cheeks is very confident in Channing's ability.

The opposite Spurs players began to play, and they were greeted with boos from the fans.

But the Spurs didn't care about it. From Duncan to Popovich, the whole team was full of facial paralysis.

The starting five sent by the Spurs are Tony Parker, Michael Finley, Bruce Bowen, Tim Duncan and Oberto. Manu Ginobili, Robert Hawley, Matt Bonner and Brent Barry are the bench bandits.

The whistle blew, and the game officially started. Dalembert unexpectedly jumped the ball and won Duncan. The old Miller advanced to the frontcourt with the ball and began to organize the attack in a calm manner.

The offensive tactics of the 76ers are not very clever. Several screens were cracked by the tacit cooperation of the Holy City. The old Miller was very cautious. His teammates failed to run out of a good space. He chose to pass the ball to the boss Iguodala .

When there was Iverson in the past few seasons, Philadelphia's offensive ability was already at the middle level in the league, and now it has fallen to the bottom level. However, this is the style of the 76ers' game. Offensive rounds, relying on defense to grind down opponents.
