Bishop of the Devil

As soon as the game started, Iverson rushed toward the penalty area with the ball alone.

76ers center Dalembert only stretched out his hand in a symbolic gesture to block the shot, and didn't even take off.

"Whoa!" In the first offensive round, Iverson scored easily.

Then it was time for Iverson to perform freely, breakthroughs and three-pointers. Under the watchful eyes of the fans and players on the field, Iverson's score increased wildly.

In the last game, Szczerbiak almost broke his career single-game scoring record...

Szczerbiak's career high score was 44 points, and he scored 42 points in the last game.

And now Richard has a hunch that Iverson may really break his single-game scoring record in this game.

Iverson's single-game scoring record is 60 points. In addition to the highest score of 60 points, Iverson also scored more than 50 points in ten games, which is quite an achievement.

"Well done, we scored 36 points in the first half, Allen." Richard said with a smile on his face.

Iverson is also very excited. He has not played a high-scoring game in several years.

Since leaving the 76ers and joining the Nuggets, Iverson's highest score in a single game was only 51 points, and this was at the end of 2007, three years ago.

In tonight's game, if nothing else happens, the score will definitely be more than 51.

The game continued in the second half. Amid the cheers of the fans, Iverson took crazy shots and the score continued to rise. Due to physical reasons, the shooting rate was definitely not much better, but who cares about this right now, as long as Iverson scores, he will be there immediately All kinds of screaming.

At the end of the third quarter, Iverson's total score had risen to 53 points, a new high in the past three years.

There is only one quarter left in the game, and breaking 60 is just around the corner.

55!

57!

59!

61!

When Iverson's total score rose to 61 points, the fans at the scene were already so excited that they forgot about themselves.

In the last regular season game of his career, Iverson broke his single-game scoring record.

Although this data is not very valuable, but no matter what, as long as the score is high...

Besides, how many high-scoring games with high gold content can we actually count in history?

Chamberlain's 100 points in a single game actually has little gold content. From the current perspective, it is more like child's play for both parties.

In order for Chamberlain to score high points, Chamberlain's head coach McGuire used foul tactics against all the opponent's players in that game...

The purpose is to increase the number of possession rounds in the game so that Chamberlain can take more shots and score more points.

Can this be regarded as valuable? It is equivalent to gathering the strength of the whole team to help Chamberlain score points alone...

The Admiral's 71 points in a single game actually have little value. In order to compete with O'Neal for the season's scoring title, in the final game of the Spurs, all the players on the team gave David Robinson the ball, and when the game was about to end, they went crazy on the opponent's players. Foul, extra game rounds...

When future generations count the scoring records in a single game, will these two scoring records be excluded due to the special nature of these two games?

Obviously not...

So Richard won't even think about whether Iverson's high score tonight has any gold content.

Score high and that's it.

There are still 8 minutes left before the end of the game. Every next score by Iverson will be a record in his career.

The fans have all stood up. They know very well that Iverson may only have the last eight minutes of his career.

Iverson scored on a mid-range shot and his score rose to 63 points.

Then there was another throw from the basket, and the score rose to 65 points!

"Continue!" Richard shouted standing on the sidelines.

…

"Uh-huh!"

With three minutes left before the end of the game, Iverson hit a three-pointer and rewritten the score to 73 points.

After the goal, Iverson asked for a timeout at the technical table. He was not ready to continue.

The score of 73 points is already quite terrifying, ranking third in NBA history, second only to Chamberlain's 100 points and Kobe's 81 points.

"Coach, that's about it. If you say more, that kid Kobe will probably go crazy..." Iverson said with a smile.

Kobe spent a lot of effort and scored 81 points, which shocked the entire league in the past few years.

If I break Kobe's record tonight, I'm afraid Kobe will really go crazy. Not only will Kobe go crazy, but Kobe's fans will probably go crazy too...

Moreover, there were 3 minutes left in the game, and Iverson felt that he might not be able to score 9 points in the last three minutes.

His physical strength really couldn't keep up. Although the 76ers did not implement high-intensity defense against Iverson, the defensive intensity certainly could not be completely lacking. They could not allow Iverson to make various layups...

"Okay, 73 points is enough." Richard said with a smile.

The game continued on the court, with Iverson sitting next to Richard.

"Suddenly I felt a little bit reluctant to leave." Iverson said to Richard with a low, wry smile.

Richard also smiled bitterly, and he was reluctant to give up.

Among the West Lafayette community, Iverson holds a special place in Richard's heart.

Now that Iverson has retired, Richard feels like the end of his youth as fans in his previous life said.

Iverson has retired, and he is no longer young now.

…

"Beep beep." The referee blew the whistle to end the game.

No one paid attention to the outcome of this game because it was meaningless. Some fans in the stadium were already in tears.

Iverson's retirement had a great impact on them. He was the first superstar to retire among the 1996 golden generation. Many fans born in the 1980s were filled with emotion.

Iverson walked onto the court and raised his arms to greet all the fans.

The management of the Philadelphia 76ers also walked out of the backstage at this moment and gave a speech, nothing more than thanking Iverson for his contribution to the 76ers for more than ten years.

With 73 points in a single game, this night is destined to go down in history forever. This is also the reason why Richard asked Iverson to rack up points like crazy.

Maybe in a few decades, fans at that time will only know about Kobe, James and others in history, but not this stubborn little man.

And with this 73-point record sitting there, Iverson will always be remembered.

"Coach, I will not participate in the next playoffs."

"It's time to devote myself to another career. I am confident that I can run the BIG3 League well." Although Iverson is quite reluctant to leave the league at the moment, when he thinks of the BIG3 League, hope rises in his heart.

"Well, I believe you, you are the big brother of West Lafayette, and those boys will help you." Richard patted Iverson on the shoulder and said with a smile.

…

Before the playoffs, Iverson scored 73 points in a single game and Szczerbiak scored 42 points in a single game, which was a good ending to the regular season. Next, it was time to chase the Pirates for four consecutive championships.

The eight teams in the Eastern Conference that have reached the playoffs are the Pirates, Pistons, Cavaliers, Celtics, Magic, Heat, Bucks and Bulls.

The Buccaneers will face the Chicago Bulls in the first round. This is the first time Richard has met the Bulls in the playoffs since he came to the East.

The season that just ended was the second season of the career of Rose, the core of the Bulls backcourt. This young man has already taken the position of the Bulls boss.

Richard found it quite interesting to meet Rose in the first round of the playoffs, and he was also looking forward to the start of this series.

Like Oden and Roy, Richard is also full of sympathy for Rose. If Rose's original draft pick was not too high, Richard would definitely take Rose into his hands to train him.

However, even if he misses the opportunity to win Rose in the draft, Richard will definitely still have the possibility of coaching him in the future. Maybe Rose will bloom even more brilliantly by then.
