Chapter 113 The Nuggets' Crossroads(2/2)

Now that you have money, why don’t you treat them well?”

Iverson emphasized his tone at the end.

It can be heard that he should be dissatisfied with the voices from the outside world.

Even this is not the first time, just like the training questions, it is the Nth time.

Lin Ying understood after listening.

Although his childhood was also very miserable, his close relatives have been working hard to protect him and allow him to grow up safely and healthily.

So they are the same kind of people, but Iverson was worse than him.

He wanted to hug Iverson, but in the end he felt that Iverson might not like that.

He could only try to comfort him.

"Aaron, we are not money, and we cannot be liked by everyone. Some people even question Michael, right? But I believe in one thing."

When talking about this, Lin Ying looked at Iverson sincerely,

"There are far more people who love you than hate you."

In fact, those who talk about Iverson now do not necessarily know the importance of Iverson's friends.

But people don’t think so much when releasing emotions.

Iverson was stunned for a moment, then nodded.

"Maybe I just held it in for too long."

"I know."

This time, Lin Ying spoke from her heart.

He really knows.

Iverson took a psychological test when he was working out with the 76ers, and he also had a withdrawn personality.

So he can understand Iverson's feeling of suppressing emotions.

"I think all the noise from the outside world now is because we have been losing. If we win, those noises will naturally turn into cheers."

Lin Ying continued.

It's not that he has experience, but this is how the fans reacted from three consecutive wins to four consecutive losses.

"I know our previous play was right, but I can't convince Melo."

Iverson said,

The Nuggets' three-game winning streak shows that they are on the right track.

The subsequent three consecutive losses were due to opponents and schedule.

If it weren't for Anthony's comeback and obsession with singles, they would definitely have ended their losing streak against the Knicks.

"Melo doesn't want to share the ball too much. He only believes in himself."

Iverson's next words were very direct.

It seems that he and Anthony had communicated after the loss to the Knicks, and the effect was not good.

Lin Ying sighed after hearing this.

Anthony is obsessed with scoring. In the first four years of his career, he never had more than three assists in a season.

Although he is a small forward, his ball holding rate and shooting rights are comparable to Kobe.

However, Kobe, who has always been said to be "unique", has basically maintained 5 to 6 assists all year round after becoming a player.

And he didn't listen to anyone's advice.

Kobe is paranoid?

In a sense, he is more extreme than Kobe.

"We just need him to suppress his desire to score."

After a while of silence, Lin Ying spoke.

Since you don’t want to share the ball, then take less shots!

Anthony was suspended before, and they didn't lose much to the Hornets, Jazz and Trail Blazers. The inability to score at critical moments was also a major reason.

In other words, if the Nuggets want to win, Anthony's singles are indispensable.

It's just that you need to find a balance between the two.

"He won't take less shots."

Iverson said helplessly.

Based on his understanding of Anthony, Anthony would not change anything.

Anthony enjoys scoring, enjoying the spotlight, and enjoying the media attention.

If you ask him to take fewer shots, it means asking him to give up those shots.

"There is someone who can make him change."

"who?"

Iverson looked at Lin Ying doubtfully.

Don't talk about Karl or anyone else, no one on the Nuggets can do it.

"LeBron."

Lin Ying gave Iverson an answer that was surprising but also very reasonable.

As members of the 2003 generation, Anthony and James have been discussed side by side by the media from the moment they entered the league.

James was "robbed" of the top pick in the 2003 draft, and the two were destined to become lifelong enemies.

To say that the only person Anthony wants to win is James.

So the only one who wants him to make some compromises is James.

"If he wants to beat LeBron, he has to suppress himself."

What Lin Ying said was absolute.

Because according to the previous style of play, the Nuggets couldn't even defeat the Knicks, so how could they defeat the Cavaliers?

And as long as Anthony discovers that properly suppressing his desire to take action can lead the team to victory, there will be no need for them to talk about it at that time.

Historically, in the season when the Nuggets reached the Western Conference Finals, Anthony averaged 18.3 shots per game and scored 22.8 points!

You must know that two seasons ago, he averaged 28.9 points per game! Even last season, he averaged 25.7 points!

Then in the second year after reaching the Western Conference Finals, Anthony took more shots and scored 28.2 points. The Nuggets were eliminated in the first round again.

So what he said was not a theory, but a fact.



The next night, Pepsi Center.

Tonight's game is a bit special for domestic fans.

Because Yang Yi became a reporter based in the Nuggets, CCTV also obtained the rights to broadcast live broadcasts at the Nuggets venue.

This means that starting from this game, fans can actually watch the Nuggets live broadcast!

And this game is very meaningful to live broadcast, because the Nuggets’ opponent is the Cavaliers!

The Cavaliers have the "Little Emperor" LeBron James!

As the next number one player in the league appointed by Stern, James has already shown his dominance in the game.

In his first year as a rookie, he averaged 20+5.5+6 per game. He was the third player after Oscar Robertson and Jordan to reach this level, and was elected Rookie of the Year, beating Anthony;

In his second year as a rookie, he averaged 27+7+7 per game, 50 points in a single game, became the youngest player to have a triple-double, broke Kobe Bryant's record and became the youngest player to score 2,000 points, and was half a game away from the playoffs;

In his third year as a rookie, he has already averaged 31.4 points, 7.6 rebounds and 6.6 assists per game! 9 consecutive games with 35+ points, the youngest player to score 5,000 points, and led the team to the playoffs and into the second round!

In his fourth year as a rookie, he led a team with Larry Hughes as the second leader and Ilgauskas as the third leader to reach the finals!

This resume is unmatched!

Now, he is in his fifth season.

The Cavaliers recruited the strongest helper for James in the summer, "Big Ben" Ben Wallace!

This is another season where he is heading towards the championship!

It must be mentioned that at this time, James had not yet thought about developing a character. Like many of his predecessors, he was a young dragon-slaying boy who only thought about leading his team to compete for the championship.

It's just that the Cavaliers' recent three-game losing streak has made him a little depressed.

But when he saw Anthony opposite him, he was shocked.

There were no banana boats at this time, and although he and Anthony had a good personal relationship, they were not brothers yet.
