Chapter 59

And the Philadelphia hero Iverson was also forced to play as a substitute when he airborne the Pistons in his later years. At that time, Iverson could still average 26.4+3+7.1 luxury data per game, which was completely at the level of an All-Star player. The head coach of the Pistons forced AI to come off the bench for the rookie Stuckey. Players on the bench, I've never seen an MVP on the bench..."

Although Reggie Evans is just a blue-collar player, in terms of strength, he is not at the same level as the big dogs Robinson and Iverson, but Channing is only a rookie after all, and he has only played one game. With the support of the head coach, Chan Ning felt that Evans would feel a little uncomfortable.

"Okay, don't worry, Evans is waiting for you on the court, he has something to say to you."

Cheeks looked confident and pushed Channing out of the locker room.

There is no one else on the court. The daily training in the morning and the media entanglement in the afternoon have made the Philadelphia players very tired. They have all returned to their homes to rest.

Only Reggie Evans and Channing were left, sitting side by side.

The atmosphere was awkward. Channing didn't know how to face Evans. He really wanted to be in the starting lineup, but hurting the hearts of his old teammates in this way was not what Channing wanted to see.

"Okay, Qian, I know that Cheeks has announced that you will be the starter." In the end, Evans spoke first: "Cheeks and I have already communicated, and I agree with his decision."

"What?" Channing was taken aback. He remembered that since he joined the team, Evans had always had a problem with him. Before the game, Evans also paid special attention to the starting list. Channing really couldn't believe why Evans would agree to give up the starting lineup.

"Haha, I'm surprised, I like your expression." Evans pretended to laugh easily, and continued:

"Money, let me repeat first, I am not a dirty guy, I mean, I will use some not-so-friendly methods to deal with enemies on the basketball court, elbows, flops, arm pulls, etc. , Some were called fouls, and some referees let me go, but everyone can use these tricks, it’s normal, this is a skill that ordinary players like us must master if we want to survive in the NBA, but I have never been in the NBA for these years Never hurt others with extraordinarily dirty moves, let alone intentionally hurt teammates."

Channing nodded solemnly. Evans is different from Bowen and Bogut. After two months of getting along, he believes in Evans' character and game quality. The previous unpleasantness is a harmless game. At least after the last loss to the Spurs, Evans hugged Channing as sincerely as any other teammate.

With Channing's understanding, Evans breathed a sigh of relief. He has a lot to say today.

"Qian, you are the first-round pick in the NBA, and I am just an undrafted pick that no one cares about. In order to get a job, I struggled and wandered. In just a few years, I have played in several teams. , I came to Philly last year, and I finally won a stable contract based on my rebounding ability, and I can earn money to take care of my family. This makes me very proud."

Channing patted Evans on the shoulder. He understood that it was not easy for Evans. The NBA is a business field, with brutal competition and survival of the fittest. Every year, countless talented youngsters join in, and every year there are too many Unknown players leave sadly, potential rookies yearn for the top position, former balloon stars lose their souls, get big contracts proudly, and those who are traded or laid off can only smash their teeth and swallow it in their stomachs.

For an older player like Evans with obvious shortcomings in height and ability, it is a great thing to celebrate to be able to get a stable long-term contract so that his wife and children can have a good life.

"I am very grateful to Coach Cheeks, but I am very clear that my ability has reached the ceiling. With my strength, I am not qualified to start a playoff team. If Philadelphia wants to enter the playoffs, it will even go further. If you are far away, you must let more capable people sit in the starting position!"

Channing didn't expect Evans to be so frank. It was not true to praise Evans at this time, and it was even more hypocritical to say that he was not qualified to start. He didn't know what to say.

"Qian, I am very confident in my rebounding ability, but other than that, height, frame protection, mobility, help defense, and screens are all the job of a power forward, but they happen to be my weakness. In these respects, you are obviously doing better than me."

"Qian, you are younger and have more potential. Do you still remember our first rebounding bet? I have worked so hard to hone my rebounding skills for so many years, but I was defeated by someone like you who has never even played a game in the NBA." The rookie was evened, and from that moment, I knew that your talent and your future are definitely not something I can stop, and for the sake of Philadelphia, I shouldn't stop at all!"

Speaking of this, Evans became excited, with tears flickering in the corners of his eyes.

For the advancement of Philadelphia and for so many Philadelphia fans, Evans admitted that he was not as good as Channing and took the initiative to give up the starting position. This is a difficult thing for everyone, but Evans Vince did it, like a real man.

"Evans, I don't know what to say, you are so kind to me, just like my big brother, thank you, I will definitely play well, and together we will make the Philadelphia 76ers go further!"

Evans nodded in satisfaction, wiped away his tears, and hit Channing with his fist like a big casserole.

"Don't cry like a bitch, come on, I have to teach you something."

Evans and Channing came to the basketball court. What he wanted to teach Channing was the crystallization of his lifelong learning-rebounding ability.

"A good rebounder must have three skills: one is observation and prediction, the other is positioning technology, and the third is jumping ability."

Evans grabbed the basketball and patiently explained to Channing.

"I have nothing to teach you in terms of prediction. You have done a very good job. You are younger and your reaction speed is much faster than mine."

"I won't talk about jumping. I really can't compare with you. Your jumping height and speed are the strongest in the entire NBA."

"The card position is the only thing I can teach you, so today we will learn the card position."

Channing nodded earnestly. He has already obtained Reggie Evans' three-star rebounding idiot skill with a copy card, but the fusion degree has been around 85%. It was what Qian Ning wished for.
