The Rest, Only Noise

Of the three games in the first round, the 76ers' most respectable one is Game2.

The 76ers were desperately defensive on the ground, causing the Knicks to be unable to score.

Dr. J had the best performance in the three games in the series, 24+8+8, and a dunk that looked like he was 5 years younger.

However, the strength of the 76ers is not as good as it used to be.

In the past, once the 76ers encountered Dr. J's outbreak, they would definitely be able to break through and play the most wonderful fast break in the league.

Now, Moses Malone is gone, Bobby Jones is retired, Andrew Toney is injured and can't play, Cheeks is not a player after all, Bowie looks older than Dr. himself, a young eye from New York Looking at it can't be a big deal.

With this group of people, the doctor is getting old very quickly.

In the fourth quarter of the second game, the Knicks pulled the score to 14 points, and the outcome was decided.

Game3

The field moved to Spectrum Arena, home of the 76ers.

Everyone knows that this will be the end battle for Dr. J.

From the very beginning, the competition gave him the opportunity to perform.

The Sixers concentrated the shot in the hands of the Doctor, allowing him to attack as he pleased.

Here, no one can take the ball away from him.

In the whole game, he shot 24 balls, hit 10 balls, and scored 24 points in another game.

His opposite, a young Benjamin Wilson, made 11 of 18 shots and scored 28 points in an easier, more efficient manner.

The days of Dr. J are over.

The Philly fans who came to Spectrum were sad, and everyone was in a low mood.

Louie can feel that emotion. In the 1987 NBA, Dr. J was the top 15 player in NBA history, even if only the results of the NBA were counted.

It is normal to feel sad to witness such a character recede.

Because of the family's financial problems, Dr. J did not complete four years of college like many players in the early 1970s.

But the NBA does not allow college students who have not completed four years of schooling to enter the league, so he and the ABA's Virginia Gentlemen contacted privately and negotiated a "good price." The contract amount agreed by the two parties is 500,000 for four years, of which 200,000 is a delayed payment if Irving can help the Gentlemen to survive for seven years.

However, many people underestimate the young Irving, including Irving himself.

Because of the dunk ban caused by Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Irving couldn't dunk as he wanted, and then in the first practice game of the Gentlemen, he dunked a dunk that made many teammates "Roar Crab! This is the most awesome I have ever seen in my career. dunk". It is conceivable how many times the best dunks of their careers will be refreshed because of Irving's presence.

This frightened the management of the Gentlemen. They immediately ordered everyone in the team not to foul Owen during training. Anyone who dared to hurt him would not have to take action from the management, and other teammates would have to get down. Soon, other teams in the ABA had similar rules and they couldn't let Irving get hurt. At that time, the ABA was already in a precarious situation and could go bankrupt at any time. In 1972, it was negotiated to merge with the NBA. If Oscar Robertson didn't think that this would give the NBA a monopoly and initiate an anti-monopoly lawsuit, the era of alliance mergers would come earlier. . But that's not necessarily a good thing, and if the merger was done at the time, 10 ABA teams would have joined the NBA.

Imagine the NBA in 1971 with 28 teams? Even America's basketball talent can't afford to support it.

The merger failed, and the ABA team needed to stick with it, so Dr. J's ticket guarantee became a savior for everyone, and he began to play in a wonderful environment.

In the long run, it's not good for his growth.

To Louie, he was a crooked James. The perfect business image, the style of attracting fans, the earliest boss-type player, but in a place where no one dared to foul him heavily, everyone would open the way and let him dunk when they saw him coming down quickly, even if it made their own The fans turned away.

He was in his ABA prime, no one could shake his throne, and then came to the NBA, the old set of rules protecting Dr. J didn't work anymore, there were a bunch of **** in the NBA who didn't take him seriously.

Louie doesn't know how much the ABA career has lowered Dr. J's ceiling, but it was during that time that people saw him in the NBA. A Greek monster who can fill up the stats column and play like a big short. He also lacks long shots and can't attack tough points. But with the right team, he can lead the team to the finals for a lap, as long as he doesn't encounter Walton. Ruthless people like , Bird, and Magic have a chance to lead the team to win the championship.

In all fairness, this team performance is hard enough.

But that may only be the lower end of his talent.

Seeing that everyone was applauding him at the moment, even a few young people off the Knicks wanted to go up and shake his hand.

They were stopped by Louis.

That's what you can do at the end of the game.

On the last night of his career, Irving was still playing "Dr. J," a **** in the eyes of fans of the previous decade.

Louie knew that this wasn't the real him.

The real him was the one who realized that his value was much higher than 4 years and 500,000, so he did not hesitate to use himself as a bait to lure the Atlanta Hawks into the water. At that time, the Eagles had Pete Maravich. Just think that Maravich and Dr. J are on the same team, no one would be crazy about it.

He sued the ABA, claiming he was under the legal age of 21 when he signed the contract and that the contract did not fully reflect his personal wishes, and then decided to fly to Atlanta for the Hawks' preseason practice game. To add to the chaos, he didn't know that the Bucks also spent a first-round pick in 1972, which led to a year of complicated lawsuits involving two leagues and several clubs. After a series of draft picks and money deals, the ABA kept its top card at all costs, but the price was to send him to the New York Nets in the future to one of the few profitable ABA teams, and The Nets gave him a five-year, $2 million contract.

As the protagonists of this series of events, the Doctor and the general manager of the Gentlemen accused each other in court of lying, cheating, and using all kinds of words to attack each other. You know, during this period (several months), he was still playing his second season with the Gentlemen, averaging 31.9 points, 12.2 rebounds, and 4.2 assists per game, becoming the league's scoring leader.

After the dust settled, the Doctor went to the Nets, and his old club, who had quarreled with him in court, thought he was very professional and held no grudges against him.

Dr. J is a gorgeous slam dunk performer on the court, with beautiful scoring data, jumping and flying with all his strength. Off the court, he has exquisite communication skills, ruthless calculations, and the ability to balance the interests of all aspects without getting into trouble.

Do you really not think of another person decades later?

In Louie's eyes, Dr. J is a false existence, and in the imagination of fans, a fanatic, reckless performer who can dunk on five heads at will. He has the ardent love of fans, teammates, journalists. But he himself has never been moved by this, he just stood on the field and played the role that everyone wanted him to play.

Dr. J has to be perfect and flawless, so he makes himself look like a saint on and off the court.

Even in the 1977 Finals, they won two games first, and the Blazers took the initiative to fight, it seemed like their mentality had collapsed. When Lucas and Dawkins' high-profile battle took place, the Blazers had many people stepping up to help, and Dawkins' teammates all looked at Dr. J, according to Mike Bibby's biological father, Henry Bibby. , they were all an idea at the time, and they wouldn't move unless the doctor went up to help.

Do doctors fight? He has to be perfect, how can he fight? In the ABA, he has the privilege not to fight, and no one will take the initiative to beat him, because the ABA players know that if Dr. J is injured and he cannot play, the facade on which the ABA depends will collapse immediately, and they will immediately will be unemployed.

It was the Doctor's first season in the NBA, and he didn't know what the venue was.

So his reaction was astonishing, sitting on the ground, holding his knees reservedly, just like watching two beasts in the Colosseum biting each other, it had nothing to do with him.

As you know, Dawkins went back to the locker room, furious for not having his teammates to help him, and smashed the locker room and, by the way, the 76ers' championship prospects.

He was trapped in his own character, forever, and the only time he stepped out of his role was in the 1983-84 regular-season game against the Celtics.

He was madly humiliated by Byrd, and finally utterly **** off by that **** hillbilly trash talk.

This is the most impressive game for Louie in the rookie coaching season so far, and even the 81 points of killing the Mavericks can only rank second.

Now, the drama is coming to an end.

The Sixers lost by 24 points when the play ended.

Dr. J took 30 shots in the last game. Hit 10 goals, actually got another 24 points.

He hugged everyone, including his opponents, and abused his team's opponents.

With his usual demeanor and humility, he seemed like a perfect being.

Just like at the beginning of last year, a girl in a tennis suit found Dr. J. In fact, she was the illegitimate daughter of the Doctor, but he never met her. Because this illegitimate daughter was an unexpected gift after a one-night spark with a female reporter.

But the doctor knew her~www.novelmt.com~ because that female reporter sent him pictures of girls every year, hoping they would recognize each other.

When the girl comes to the doctor in person, will the doctor not recognize her? No, he is still Dr. J, like an ordinary little girl, asking with a kind smile, "Girl, do you want my autograph?"

The scene cheered for Dr. J. He was obviously the one who was swept away, and he had to give a speech and speech for this failed season.

Louie watched from a distance, wishing Wilson and Ewing would stay away from this guy.

Players should never be locked in by the image the team has created, and once they're stuck in it, they'll never come out.

This is one of the biggest problems in the age of print media.

You really can't vent your negative energy in a trumpet like Durant.

PS: I think the fact that Bird provoked Dr. J to take the initiative to beat him is definitely underestimated. Everyone only remembers that Barclay pulled sideways and Bird was beaten, but they did not expect that it was the only time Dr. J broke the defense, showing " QTMD, Lord is going to **** this **** hillbilly today" sentiment
