Chapter 92 The Homecoming Child

The on-site host was stunned by Larry Brown. How could such a good championship ring awarding ceremony become "Daze Township Uprising"?
If you look at the excitement of the crowd at the scene, it's almost like shouting "The princes and generals have a kindness"!No matter how NC Billy King is, he is still the general manager of the 76ers, and he still holds the host's promotion and salary increase in his hands. Thinking about it, he feels really scared.

Although she agrees with Larry Brown and the fans in her heart and is very considerate of their feelings, the sexy blonde host still can't resist the fear of someone. She tremblingly grabbed Larry Brown's microphone and began to think of a way to change the subject: "Thank you, Mr. Larry Brown, for your affirmation and praise of our superstars from Philadelphia! Thank you Mr. Zhao Ke for everything you contributed to the Philadelphia 76ers last season! Send the warmest applause!"

Larry Brown's speech was interrupted, but he was still calm and polite, and he didn't say anything more. He hugged Zhao Ke, and then:
Kneeling down on one knee, putting the ring on Zhao Ke's ring finger...

Of course, no!This picture is too ghostly!

Larry Brown just opened the box, showed it to the camera, and solemnly handed it to Ke Zhao.Zhao Ke put the championship ring on his thumb and made a big thumbs-up in front of the camera. The fans in the First League Center Arena gave warm cheers and screams again.

The host poked the microphone towards Zhao Ke's mouth: "Mr. Zhao Ke, please say something to the folks in Philadelphia!"

Zhao Ke held the microphone, bowed at 90°, and then said to the camera: "I am a child of Philadelphia. I was born in Philadelphia, grew up in an orphanage in Philadelphia, and worked as a loader in a supermarket in Philadelphia to earn money. Until the scouts of the 76ers found me and made me a member of this great team. I am very grateful to the uniform team of the 76ers and the great coach Larry Brown. You gave me a platform to let my dreams fly!"

Zhao Ke bowed again, and the fans applauded this kid who did not forget his roots.

"I have been a fan of the 76ers since I was very young, and I have been a loyal fan of Iverson since 1996. Fortunately, I was able to join my favorite team and fight side by side with my idol. Even more fortunately, we won the Larry O'Brien Cup together! I will always be a die-hard fan of the Philadelphia 76ers and Iverson, and always will be!"

Zhao Ke reached out and hammered his left chest, then kissed the championship ring, causing the fans to scream again.

"However, I am now a member of the New York Knicks. This is a job and my life. I love basketball. So no matter which team I play for, every night I come to Philadelphia, I will go all out! Not winning or losing, please forgive a child who comes home and proudly show everything he has in front of his loved ones! My loved ones in Philadelphia, after today, I will travel far..."

Iverson stepped forward and hugged Zhao Ke, and laughed at him in a low voice: "You said so provocatively, I thought you were going to retire!"

Zhao Ke pretended to be surprised and asked him: "Allen, isn't this my jersey retirement ceremony?"

Iverson laughed at him: "Just your broken number, no one will wear it until you retire!"

The game started in a harmonious and friendly atmosphere, with Iverson sitting on the sidelines in a suit.He has a broken finger, which he sustained against the Celtics two days earlier:

At that time, Iverson was rushing to the basket like lightning, ready to end the offense with a quick layup, but Celtics center Tony Battie slammed a cap heavily, interrupting his offense.

But the hat fan was particularly crooked, and it hit Iverson's ball-protecting left hand hard. Iverson felt something was wrong at the time, so he walked to the sidelines and told Larry Brown.But he disagreed with Larry Brown to replace him. He was sent to the hospital for examination and treatment during the intermission until he finished the first half with injuries and scored 22 points.The 76ers eventually won the game, but the test results showed that Iverson's finger was broken.

Iverson can choose surgical treatment or conservative treatment with plaster. Optimistically, surgical treatment can catch up with the first round of the playoffs, and conservative treatment will take longer to recover.

Under Larry Brown's persuasion, Iverson finally gave up surgery and chose a plaster cast.If an operation is performed, the doctor will have to cut another incision in Iverson's hand to put in the screw, and wait until the offseason to make another incision and take out the screwdriver, which is too painful.Anyone can see that the 76ers have no hope of winning the championship this season. The tired and scarred defending champion needs to rest for a season to make a comeback. There is no need to suffer more in order to play one or two more playoff games.

Larry Brown directly announced that Iverson would be reimbursed for the season, without even considering the possibility of a comeback in the playoffs. He would be included in the injury list until next season, and during this process, Iverson could also quickly treat and recover his other injuries.Starting from today's game, Iverson can wear a suit and wear a cast on his hand to cheer his teammates on the sidelines.

Without Iverson, the 76ers are just a downstream team with mediocre offensive talent.But in terms of defense, they are even stronger without Iverson.They are fighting for dignity. So far, the 76ers still have not locked in the playoffs. If they are not careful, they will be nailed to the pillar of shame in history, becoming the Celtics in the 1969-1970 season ("Lord of the Rings" Bill Russell retired) and the Bulls in the 1998-1999 season ("Basketball God" Jordan retired), the third defending champion who could not enter the playoffs.The encounters of the first two teams have proved the great role of Bill Russell and Jordan in the team from another aspect.

Larry Brown didn't want to use this method to highlight the team's dependence on Iverson. He had to let the defending champion in his hands enter the playoffs. Although he was interested in leaving, he was not used to failure.Under the guidance of Larry Brown, the 76ers who lost Iverson were like two huge flesh and blood grinding discs, grinding the Knicks to death on the defensive end.

The heavy pressure of the 76ers on the defensive end made it difficult for Zhao Ke to collect points. Even with the help of the elevator door tactics, Zhao Ke obviously felt that the speed of the elevator door opening was getting faster and faster, and the time left for him to shoot was getting shorter and shorter, and his shooting rate was getting lower and lower.

In the end, Zhao Ke made 32 of 11 three-pointers, scored 33 points and 4 blocks with difficulty, and barely defeated the Jagged 83ers with 80:76.The Knicks relied on the same iron-blooded and tough defense to help the "wave cast" Zhao Ke Wanzun: I am strong, but I can make you even stronger!
