In recent ball review articles, most of our discussions are active players. Why? There are two main reasons, one is that most of the fans are new fans and do not watch the ball for a long time. So many people actually just know these players who are still playing now, and the retired players in the past are not hot, and naturally not so many people write. Secondly, most of the ball reviews have an element of ancient blowing. It is common to think that players from the past are better than players of the present. This doesn't correctly interpret a player's true level and also makes one's article inaccurate. For these two reasons, many reviewers prefer to only write about active players rather than discuss past stars.
But there is always an exception to everything, there is always a part of the stars, even if they retire, there will still be a lot of heat. These players are basically the super giants of the past, and the reputation and reputation are generally good, otherwise how can there be such a high degree of heat? The most well-known of this is naturally the answer Iverson.
Truth be told, there should be very few people who don't like Iverson. For many old fans, Iverson is his own generation of youth memories. Why does Iverson have such a great charm? Because in the psychology of most basketball fans, Iverson is more in line with everyone's definition of a lonely hero. After all, who can single-handedly defeat the OK combination in the first game of the series without anyone being optimistic? It is estimated that most of the fans have also been fans of Iverson since that moment.
If you say starting from strength, I dare say that at its peak, no player can be more capable of individual soldiers than Iverson. In the first few years, he was really like an unruly fighter, challenging the league. In the first year of the rookie, when the inside line is king, he can average 23+4+7.5 per game. As a true superstar, Iverson has shown super abilities that are different from ordinary people since the rookie season.
Of course, the early Iverson can be successful, at least on a personal level, to make a breakthrough, with a certain lineup blessing. Because of the addition of coach Larry Brown, Iverson has more say on the court. He can more easily use his strengths to solve problems, and Brown has begun to use his lineup and tactical advantages to optimize Iverson's shortcomings in various ports as much as possible. So, Iverson began to enter the ranks of the peak. It's just that in this process, Iverson is not very smooth. Because he is free by nature and does not like to be disciplined, and Brown wants to enter perfection in all aspects, the two often have disagreements. Fortunately, they found a point where they could balance each other and let the whole team smooth the transition in this contradiction. (Because after Brown's promotion, Iverson can become a number two.) In terms of height, Iverson must be more suitable for playing the first position, but his scoring means can have a better performance in the second position, which has the peak answer to the explosive scoring ability we see later. ）
If Iverson, who first entered the league, is a hairy boy who does not accept anyone, then Iverson in the 01 season must be a superstar who shocked the league. This is Iverson's first season in a real sense of the word, averaging 31.1 points per game, the leading scorer of the season. He is also the steal king, the MVP of the season, and the All-Star MVP. This year, he had too many honors. Many people think that MVP is just a good performance in the regular season, coupled with the blessing of the record, there is no data component to shock. In fact, this year's MVP gold content is very high, because at the same time there are also super invincible OK combinations and Duncan, you can get MVP on these people, enough to see the ability to answer strongly.
What is even more rare is that also this season, Iverson took the old and sick team all the way to the finals and came to the Lakers. Facing the invincible super Lakers team, they shouted out their fighting spirit. Iverson scored 48 points in the first game of the series, led the team to win the Lakers, and successfully broke the myth that opponents were unbeaten in the playoffs. At the same time, the classic century span makes Tyrone Lu the background wall of classic famous paintings. Because of this scene, countless Lakers fans with perfect fighting spirit were heartbroken, and Iverson's reputation came to the peak. Everyone at that time believed that this unruly little man was bound to leave countless myths and legends to the Alliance in the future. Yes, Iverson's abilities have risen to the level of history, and there is no doubt that this is a superstar of historical level.
What is Iverson's role in promoting the team? Is it your own terrifying scoring ability? Not really. Because Iverson wasn't very efficient at his peak, most of his scoring came from horror usage. In the scoring efficiency of the same position, Iverson can only be regarded as moderate. This answer may not be what most fans think! So why can he still have such a high tactical position? First, Iverson is a sharp knife on the offensive end, an important weapon that everyone fears to destroy the defense. Iverson's breakthroughs have few individual players who have been able to reach the limits of the degree of single defense, and even have little interference. So Iverson can tear apart the opponent's defensive lineup as much as possible and destroy the original defensive position. This ability can create a lot of room for the rest of the players on the team to shoot. Coupled with a 29 assists rate, Iverson can completely connect the whole team in line between the marches. Everyone knows that Iverson needs to kill inside, and everyone knows that it needs to be contained, but no one can do it head-on.
Meanwhile, Iverson's free throw percentage reached 40, which also helped him improve his scoring threat. After all, a small man who frequently kills inwards does have a strong destructive power. Since there is no way to prevent him from scoring within a reasonable range of rules, it can only be interfered with by other unreasonable means. Iverson's impact on the inside is far from what the current players can bear. In fact, this also involves the problem of ancient blowing, the defensive intensity we talk about can not be quantified at all, so when it comes to this topic, there are always people who say that this is a kind of touting.
In any case, Iverson's impact on fans is enormous. In the same class, only Kobe Bryant could overpower Iverson. I also know that in the hearts of the answer fans, Iverson is still the strongest fighter. He is a lone hero and the answer that everyone is looking for.
