NBA: Best point guard

Chapter 122 In the battle of popularity, Zhao Qiang is slightly inferior

In addition, Iverson caused a lot of controversy because of his family background.

For example, he has a lot of cronies and friends with bad deeds, and Iverson is naturally contaminated with some bad habits.

In addition, he himself is also a flashy player with a perverse personality, so the media and fans hate him to death, love him to death.

But no matter those who like him or those who don't like him, they are full of praise for his skills.

In particular, his crossover has become his signature move, passing people is as simple as drinking water.

But it is because of his unique personality that he has many fans, and even before he entered the NBA, he became the king of popularity.

The cavalry team led by Zhao Qiang, because they can defeat strong enemies evenly, so their popularity is also rising.

In addition, because of his cross-generational style of play, he is constantly praised.

In this way, who is the more popular college player between Zhao Qiang and Iverson has become the focus of discussion among fans.

Many fans who hated Iverson turned to support Zhao Qiang, and some of Zhao Qiang's black fans also went to support Iverson.

At that time, the Internet was underdeveloped, and the way fans supported was relatively simple, but it was very straightforward, that was to go to the scene and hold a sign to cheer for the idol.

When the Virginia Union University Cavalry players took the bus and came to the competition arena, they were shocked by the scene in front of them.

In front of the arena, two groups of people gathered, holding Zhao Qiang's sign and Iverson's sign respectively.

Of course, Iverson has more fans, accounting for about [-]%, while Zhao Qiang's fans account for about [-]%, and the rest are neutral spectators.

The number of security staff is also much more than usual, just to avoid riots and fights between fans of both sides.

It was the first time for the cavalry players to see such a big battle, and they couldn't help feeling a little nervous.

As the captain, Zhao Qiang must appease the nervousness of his teammates. After all, the closer to the end, the more intense the game and the more attention it receives.

Why is game experience important?The reason why those famous schools have good grades is because they have brilliant records as their background. When it comes to the big competition stage, the players don't panic at all, and they can often perform at a normal level, or even perform supernormally.

As for the cavalry players, when they joined the basketball team last year, they never expected to reach the top 64, let alone the final eight!

So before the game started, I was a little flustered.

"Brothers, let's play one more game now to make more money! Don't think too much, just treat it as a normal game. If you win, I will treat you to dinner. If you lose, let the coach treat us to dinner!"

The team members burst into laughter, Coach Anzuo pointed at Zhao Qiang and scolded with a smile: "You brat, you still take advantage of me when you are so rich! No matter you win or lose today, you invite me!"

"No! Coach, please!" The team members started booing.

After Zhao Qiang and coach An Zuo made such a fuss, the players' nervousness was all swept away, and the bus was filled with a cheerful and relaxed atmosphere.

With the help of the staff, the bus slowly drove into the parking lot.

When the players walked into the arena to start warming up, they found that the Hoya players had already arrived in the arena.

Because Iverson's name is too big, the Cavalry players are also looking for him. This is really a superstar!

Including Zhao Qiang, they also want to see Iverson with their own eyes.

Unfortunately, everyone searched for a long time and found that other players of the Hoya team were warming up, but Iverson was not among them.

Zhao Qiang shook his head with a smile. He knew Iverson's character. This guy would not come so early. He would definitely arrive a few minutes before the start of the game.

Because he said that he doesn't need to warm up, he can play directly.

Sure enough, half an hour later, the game was about to start, and Iverson walked out of the player tunnel surrounded by the staff.

Fans in the arena jumped, cheered and screamed, including the opponent's fans.

Although Zhao Qiang was not a fan of Iverson in his previous life, he admired the "answer" very much. With a height of 1 meters, he played an extremely impressive career in the NBA.

Although due to various reasons, he has not won a championship, but the fact that he led the team to defeat the peak "OK" combination in the finals is enough to show his greatness.

Iverson walked into the court with his classic ditch hairstyle and tattoos all over his body. He was really hot.

Just as everyone's eyes were on Iverson and they kept screaming, Iverson passed through other players on the field and walked in front of Zhao Qiang.

Zhao Qiang was taken aback, not knowing what he was going to do, but he still stretched out his hand angrily, and nodded with a smile on his face.

Iverson and Zhao Qiang shook hands, looked him up and down, and asked coolly, "Are you Zhao Qiang?"

"it's me!"

"I heard that you are very fast and like to shoot three-pointers?"

If another person talked to Zhao Qiang like this, Zhao Qiang would definitely turn around and walk away, because his tone was provocative and impolite.

But this is Iverson. He speaks like this, which is his taste.

"Fortunately, your speed should be faster." Zhao Qiang replied modestly.

"Don't be humble, we can compete today!" Iverson took the initiative to hug Zhao Qiang.

Although his tone of voice was very arrogant, his movements were very warm, which gave Zhao Qiang great respect and encouragement. At the same time, he patted Zhao Qiang on the back lightly.

"come on!"

"come on!"

After the two encouraged each other, they returned to their respective halfs and continued to warm up.

A few minutes later, the referee blew his whistle and the game officially started.

Starting lineup for the Cavaliers --

Point guard: Xiaode

Shooting guard: Zhao Qiang

Small Forward: Old Iron

Power Forward: Big Black Dragon

Center: Big Ben

Head Coach: An Zuo

The Hoyas' starting lineup --

Point Guard: Allen Iverson

Shooting guard: Mays

Small Forward: Graham

Power Forward: Adam

Center: Sanders

Head Coach: John Thompson Jr.

With a jump ball in the middle circle, Sanders won the first wave of offensive ball rights for the Hoyas.

Iverson held the ball in the backcourt and slowly moved forward.

From the moment he caught the ball, there were screams from the sidelines.

I know, this is a basketball game, but I don't know, I thought it was a celebrity meeting.

It was Xiaode who defended Iverson. He was a little nervous and very focused.

Before the competition, Xiaode specially made two video tapes and studied them at home for many days.

Although his heart became colder and colder as he looked at it, Xiaode was also a person who refused to admit defeat. He and Zhao Qiang discussed a lot about how to defend Iverson.

During training, Zhao Qiang imitated Iverson's offensive moves and asked Xiaode to defend.

Although Zhao Qiang's imitation is not very similar, even with Iverson's three-point skill, it still makes Xiaode miserable.
