Maybe this is a tragic hero. However, please allow me to call him a man and a soldier.
He works in NBA, a big company with the highest staff in the world, but if I show you his height and weight, you will think it is your junior high school deskmate or one of your male teachers. But believe me, he is worthy of respect.
From the moment his mother, who is fifteen years older than him, bought him a pair of basketball shoes, his name was destined to be written with basketball. Sure enough, the child who came out of the dark area and exercised with barbed wire and broken backboards entered a famous basketball school as he wished. This is a famous school, because there have been super centers like Ewing and Mutombo here, but there has never been a decent defender who can be called a famous one. At that time, we could only call him a boy, act recklessly, and live every day as if it were the last. Tireless running and jumping, maintaining lightning speed from the beginning to the end, but the height is less than 1.85 meters, dunking on the head of the big center, and yelling.
The rookie of 1996 may not be called the "golden generation" if he is not bailed out by his mother and school again and again. Yes, he joined the League on 1996.
The team that won the first prize took a risk and chose him. Indeed, it's too risky: huge tattoos, weird wrinkles and braids, and people who often go to the police station. However, it is more difficult to make a decision not to choose him than to choose him. This is an NBA team with a long history, formerly known as Syracuse national team. Legendary center Chamberlain once scored 65,438+000 points here. Julius J. Owen used to jump from the free throw line in his team's jersey and pour the ball into the basket. However, the team has never seen such a "bad boy" as him.
Therefore, since he joined the league, the voice of accusation and criticism has never stopped. Amid accusations and criticisms, he started his journey indifferently.
Someone criticized his tattoo and hairstyle. I don't understand what this has to do with you. You don't have to watch it if you don't like it.
Some people say he is arrogant. I don't understand what arrogance is. If this is arrogance, I like such arrogance. Please look at Kobe, McGrady, Stoudemire and even Wolf King among the high school players. Which high school is not high-spirited, and which one has a low career? He knows that he can't adapt to the predatory NBA without college basketball experience. He has been the team leader for ten years. He is arrogant and has capital.
Some people say that he is young, inexperienced and immature, some people say that he sticks to the ball, some people say that his defense is not good enough, and others say that …
If he cared about those accusations, we wouldn't see him today.
He fought back with hard training, he fought back with accurate three-pointers, he fought back with tireless running, and he fought back with agile steals and fast break dunks. ...
1998 ~ 1999 season, he won the scoring champion in the regular season and was selected as the best team, which gave a blow to those unkind people.
Then, with the help of his big alumnus Mutombo, he won the scoring champion and MVP in 2000 ~ 200 1 season. The little man smiled happily with the trophy.
In the playoffs that year, he bravely led the team to the finals, just one step away from the "O 'Brien Cup". Among the "golden generation", he is the only one who led the team to this height. The final of 2 1 century is actually the closest moment for him to win the championship. He bravely stood up and challenged the Los Angeles Lakers. Facing Kobe Bryant, who grew up in Philadelphia but betrayed Philadelphia and won the championship in Philadelphia, he bravely fought World War I and World War II. In the end, although there was nothing to say, the loss was extremely tragic. He is still a hero: brave and calm.
The people around him have changed batch after batch, and only he is still struggling alone in this arena.
Struggle for a championship ring, still got a lot of points, still got the all-star MVP, and ranked long in personal honor, but only one championship ring was needed.
Suddenly, he has been in the league for ten years, thirty years old, and he is no longer young.
He can hardly be called a strong defender, but he has the most injuries.
He is no longer the little boy who can dunk and never make a layup. He knew that too hard a breakthrough would make him black and blue, and he learned to solve the battle with layups and soft jumpers. He never sticks out his tongue and talks rubbish like Jordan, and is not as cynical as Bird. He only fights for victory on the court. What remains unchanged is his innocent, firm and clear eyes.
He is still arrogant, still covered in tattoos, still wearing two or three huge diamond necklaces, still wearing black and fat clothes, still wearing ridges and grooves, still loving basketball and pursuing the championship. However, ten years can also change many things. After a series of tragic failures, he just looked helplessly at the scoreboard and wiped the sweat on his face with his shirt-not without effort, but in vain. He stopped quarreling with the coach and became a frequent visitor to the police station, complaining about the incompetence of his teammates, and … I'm afraid he no longer dreams of winning the championship.
A championship ring is the answer he has been looking for for for ten years.
……
The league keeps adding new people, and one day he will leave. Will he still be black and blue and confused at that time? A 30-year-old man, as a defender, should go downhill, but at present he is the only one who scores and assists in the top ten.
Such a stubborn, brave and persistent little man doesn't say first with his fans, but only who is better.
We can only hope that he will not fall down and get his answer as soon as possible.
Suddenly remind of some sad heroes, Malone, stockton, Reggie? Miller Buckley. It's hard to say whether he will retire with such regrets, or get a ring from others' ridicule like Peyton. Even so, how can others know that something that has been followed for more than ten years is precious?
We can only look at this warrior and bless him in our hearts.
However, I'm sure that decades later, at the home of Philadelphia or Denver, an old white-haired fan will point to the No.3 jersey hanging over the stadium and say to the young people around him, "That's a brave man who fought loyally here, a real man and an unyielding hero. His name is Allen? Iverson. "
