In a training facility at the Wells Fargo Center.

Lin Tian and Kobe are meticulously conducting shooting training.

Even if it's just a training facility, there are retired jerseys of some legendary players from the 76ers hanging on the walls.

Among these retired jerseys are the No. 13 jersey belonging to the ancient god Chamberlain, the No. 2 jersey of Moses Malone, and the No. 6 jersey of Dr. J...

After Lin Tian trained for a while, his eyes stopped on a No. 3 jersey. This was Allen Iverson's jersey.

Although Philadelphia is not a wealthy club with a strong foundation and has only won two championships from its inception to the present, they have never lacked super giants who have influenced the league's structure.

After Allen Iverson, the next one should be Embiid.

The team's slogan for the past two years has been "trust the process," which shows that the team has great confidence in Embiid.

Lin Tian and Kobe trained for nearly an hour, and talents such as Nick Young and Howard appeared in the training hall.

Seeing that they didn't wake up, they didn't know where they went to play last night.

Scott and several assistant coaches also began to arrange today's training plan to prepare for the evening game.

…

Night falls.

When the Lakers players walked into the stadium from the tunnel, the home fans still treated them with great enthusiasm.

The DJ at the scene said excitedly: "Oh my God! Welcome the Lakers! Welcome Kobe! This is the first time in recent years that the Wells Fargo Center has been so lively! Haha!"

There is a reason why the commentary says this.

After playing so many games this season, their record is currently 6 wins and 40 losses, which is the absolute bottom position in the league! They have basically secured the last place.

In terms of the ability to deal with damage, no other team in the league can match it!

If the results are bad, of course they don’t want the fans to follow them! Attendance for their games this season is shockingly low.

Even though the average ticket price is only a few dozen dollars, not many people are willing to pay.

Only today's game had full attendance and tickets were very expensive, naturally because of Kobe.

Dj is very good at creating an atmosphere. He laughed at himself: "Two-thirds of the fans who came here today should be Kobe fans."

The whole place suddenly burst into cheers, and everyone seemed to agree with what the DJ said.

Dj continued: "If possible, I hope Kobe can come here to play games every day."

There was another burst of cheers.

Kobe also greeted all the fans with a smile and said to Lin Tian: "I feel like I am at the Staples Center."

Lin Tian nodded: "Your influence is too great, everyone comes to see you."

Half an hour later, Lin Tian was taking warm-up shots, and bursts of cheers suddenly erupted from the home court.

Only then did he realize that Iverson was also here today.

Iverson was dressed quite loosely today, wearing a black hat and a silver necklace hanging around his neck, which was completely hip-hop style.

In fact, Iverson has set off a hip-hop storm since entering the league.

His cool hair style is still imitated by many players to this day.

Since his retirement the year before last, Iverson has rarely appeared in home arenas, and there were rumors that he was bankrupt.

Lin Tian was naturally deeply skeptical about this. A player of his level who has played for so many years can receive a lot of pension every month after retiring.

Moreover, Iverson's influence is there. No matter how casually he participates in any event, the appearance fee will start at least several hundred thousand dollars.

After Iverson arrived at the arena, the first thing he did not find a seat to sit down was directly towards Kobe Bryant.

Kobe also quickly put down the basketball in his hands, high-fived Iverson, and hugged each other.

The two most representative players of the 1996 golden generation just asked each other in front of the audience and nodded frequently.

Lin Tian was also quite touched at this time. Iverson was the No. 1 pick in 1996 and the shortest regular season MVP in NBA history.

It can be said that Iverson was at his peak when he debuted, and he was loved by thousands of people in the early stages of his career.

When Kobe entered the league in his first year, he only started as a substitute. His initial goal was to even surpass Iverson.

The two were also fortunate enough to meet in the finals in the 2000-01 season, so there was no big regret.

They chatted like two old friends who hadn't seen each other for a long time, not minding the countless cameras next to them.

As players, they are already used to being followed closely by cameras.

After chatting for a while, Kobe waved to Lin Tian next to him as if he remembered something: "Look, you don't need me to introduce you anymore, right?"

Iverson laughed: "Hahaha! Man! Don't mess with me? Does this guy need an introduction? He is the most popular person in the league now! As the saying goes in China, even if you turn into ashes, I still know you.

You!"

Lin Tian smiled naturally.

Iverson's popularity is very high in China, and among foreign players, only Kobe Bryant can hold his own.

Therefore, Iverson would go to China to "make money" almost every year. He also had a certain understanding of the culture of China and even had the word "loyalty" tattooed on his neck.

But this metaphor is obviously inappropriate.

Lin Tian himself didn't mind at all, smiling and hugging Iverson.

Since he traveled through time, he has copied all the abilities of peak Iverson.

Iverson's crossover, stealing ability, and even his "man of steel" were all copied by Lin Tian.

So hugging Iverson gave him a weird feeling.

Lin Tianxin said: I will let you know what a 2.05-meter-meter Iverson can achieve in the NBA.

After watching Iverson take his seat, Lin Tian returned to the court to continue warming up.

He took a look at the opponent's bench and found no sign of Embiid.

Embiid is currently recuperating from injury and rarely plays with the home team. Moreover, he is at the center of public opinion and is particularly disliked by the home team's fans. In addition, the home team's record is so poor, it is normal not to play with the team.

The game started soon.

The starting lineup sent by the home team today is: Nick Stauskas, Ish Smith, Robert Covington, Nerlens Noel, Jahlil Okafor.

The Lakers' starting lineup remains unchanged: Clarkson, Kobe, Lin Tian, ​​Tucker, and Howard.

Among the opponent's current starting lineup, the most star-studded player should be rookie Okafor.

Okafor was the third overall pick in 2015, and was also the third overall pick selected by Philadelphia through bad luck.

He currently averages 17 points per game!

Among the rookies in the same class, second only to Lin Tian and the Timberwolves, Towns' strength is evident.
Chapter completed!
