NBA money-spending system sparks jealousy among female celebrities.

Philadelphia 76ers Starting Lineup: Point Guard: Allen Iverson, Shooting Guard: Lou Williams, Small Forward: Andre Iguodala, Power Forward: Alden Brand, Center: Samuel Dalembert.

New York Knicks Starting Lineup: Point Guard: Curry, Shooting Guard: McGrady, Small Forward: Su Yan, Power Forward: David Lee, Center: Tyson Chandler.

"Jumpball!"

A contest for the ball between Dalembert and Tyson.

Tyson still has the advantage in terms of talent, swatting the basketball away first and winning the first possession for the Knicks.

Curry pushed it over.

He positioned himself at the left arc and passed the ball to Su Yan at the right arc. Lu Wei pressed forward to contest the ball and entangled him in defense.

Su Yan doesn't indulge him.

As the ball comes down... a powerful counter-attack, a full 180 kg bench press, little Lou Williams, take it down.

"Dengdengdeng!"

Lou Williams staggered back several steps, his body unable to stop retreating.

The excruciating pain in his chest filled him with even greater horror. "No way, what kind of power is this?!"

Su Yan took the opportunity to step back, creating even more distance between them.

There was no vast ocean before me.

Unperturbed, he glanced at the basket, adjusted his position, and then... raised his hand and fired a three-pointer.

How to describe it... elegant, timeless.

Incisive and accurate to the point.

"Shh!"

Hollow hit.

Su Yan got the team off to a good start.

In the next possession, Curry, while making a run, took advantage of Su Yan's strong three-point threat and found an opportunity in the left corner.

McGrady handed it over to him.

The three-point shot was exactly the same "one-shot" technique as Su Yan's, and for a moment it was hard to tell who had copied whom.

"Bang!"

Missed.

Even as a rookie, Curry's three-pointers were accurate, but compared to Su Yan, his accuracy was naturally somewhat inferior.

"What a pity~"

Curry shook his head, feeling somewhat dissatisfied with missing an open three-pointer.

Back on the court.

Su Yan came over to comfort him: "Nine out of ten shots miss, it's normal to miss and break the ball!!!"

???

So, are you trying to comfort me?

Curry gave Su Yan a disgruntled look.

Iverson pushed the ball over, and Curry faced off one-on-one; theoretically, it should have been a one-hit kill.

At his peak, Allen Iverson's speed and explosiveness were unmatched, not to mention Curry, even Kobe couldn't do anything about it.

But now.

He couldn't get through.

Declining physical condition, plagued by injuries, and lack of explosive power.

This slowed down Iverson's dribbling speed, reduced his deceptiveness, and diminished his explosiveness.

Her figure is not advantageous at all.

It won't pass.

Even Curry couldn't get past him; he forced his way through with a speed boost and then took a step-back jumper during the contest.

Curry blocked it.

The interference is significant.

"Bang!"

Iverson's shot missed.

With his teammates setting screens for him, as long as he wasn't open, whoever switched onto him could basically disrupt Iverson's game.

Offensive efficiency was poor.

However... Iverson's seriousness towards the game remained unchanged even in the last year of his career.

On the defensive end.

He plays incredibly hard. When facing Curry, he'll pounce on him and entangle him, just like he did when he was younger.

They're very aggressive in their defense.

It's very oppressive.

Allen Iverson used to be quite effective at defense against guards of the same caliber.

Today, things are different.

He couldn't stop Curry at all. Curry didn't need a screen; he could get a normal shot opportunity one-on-one.

Even when facing Su Yan from a different angle, he fought just as fiercely.

Su Yan was still thinking about winning Player of the Week during the game, and he wouldn't let Iverson even make a light touch.

Iverson flew away.

Su Yan calmly and steadily launched a three-pointer.

"Shh!"

hit.

It was very easy to complete.

Iverson attacked aggressively and defended even more fiercely, but... he couldn't score and he couldn't defend.

He was practically the team's "war criminal".

McGrady looked at Iverson, as if seeing himself, and couldn't help but shake his head and sigh, "The era of the 'Big Four' shooting guards is completely over!"

In the front row of the audience.

Because the New Jersey Nets and 76ers have a game tomorrow night, Yi Jianlian, who arrived early today, made an appointment with Yao Ming, who is out for the season due to injury, to watch Su Yan play.

Yi Jianlian frowned, already unable to bear watching any longer, "Why is Iverson playing so hard?"

It's not necessary.

He could have stayed with the 76ers and retired, ending his illustrious career in the most dignified way.

"really."

Yao Ming didn't deny it, but then added, "But the way he is now, that's the Allen Iverson that everyone likes!"

Unruly and proud by nature, fearless and indomitable.

In his eyes, he was the strongest. No matter what, he was always full of confidence and had an obsessive desire to win!

This is the answer.

That's why everyone likes him.

Yes.

Allen Iverson is incredibly hardworking; he gives his all in every offensive and defensive possession. This is the kind of Iverson the home fans want to see.

but.

The fans felt very sorry for him.

Everyone knows that Allen Iverson is no longer the player who could shake up everyone and outplay the gods.

Hopefully, he won't push himself too hard, will take good care of himself, and will play a few more games in the NBA.

It's good that they can fight.

The fans don't have many expectations.

Even Su Yan was somewhat moved by Iverson's hard work, especially compared to the relatively laid-back McGrady.

It is even more touching.

Truly, things have changed.

But respect.

Su Yan felt a deep respect for Iverson's innate pride and unruly desire to win.

I gave him a thumbs up in my heart.

I was moved by him.

However... this is a competition, and Su Yan still needs to perform well to win the honor of Player of the Week.

There's no room for sentimentality or emotional attachment.

Given Iverson's personality, he certainly wouldn't want his opponents to let him win; he would want them to go all out.

Well then, I'll grant your wish!

"Shh!"

A meter beyond the three-point line, Su Yan saw Iverson momentarily stunned and raised his hand to shoot a long three-pointer!

"drink!"

Iverson went all out to block.

But he was too short and couldn't jump anymore; the basketball flew away from his fingertips, far beyond his reach.

The sky is vast and the earth is boundless; scoring three points deserves praise!

Hit again.

Just one minute later, Su Yan was mismatched against Iverson, a player who has never been good at driving to the basket.

He overpowered Iverson and relentlessly attacked the paint.

High-profile attack.

The shot hit the target.

That's somewhat unethical.

There's nothing we can do about it; Iverson is now a defensive liability, someone we can target at will.

otherwise.

Why do you think the Grizzlies are making Iverson a substitute?

The 76ers' management re-signed Iverson out of respect for their "Son of Philadelphia".

after all.

Iverson brought too much glory to the 76ers.

Few people may know that "Basketball Emperor" Wilt Chamberlain played for the 76ers.

But as everyone knows, "Sons of Philadelphia" is "The Answer".

Even if it means tanking for a season, it would be completely worth it if it were for Iverson's sake.

That's called respect.

This is called respect.

The good news is... even if Iverson wanted to play, his physical condition wouldn't allow him to play for very long these days.

Around 30 minutes per game on average.

It was more than ten minutes less than his peak.

This gives the other players a chance to catch up.

As luck would have it... Tonight, Iguodala and Lou Williams are both in great form, on fire, and scoring goals one after another.

Do the 76ers have a chance?

No.

Because... the Knicks were on fire, and they executed the "run-and-gun" style that D'Antoni wanted!
