Xu Xin silently watched the two bullfights from the sidelines and calmly exchanged a "Nirvana Rebirth" skill card.
I just inquired about the system and learned that people like Iverson, who has no injuries and is just a simple deterioration of physical functions, can still only recover 80% of his strength after using "Nirvana Rebirth", and the time required is still one month. And as time goes by, his abilities will decline again.
If you think about it carefully, this is reasonable. After all, age is here. If you can maintain excellent condition for another five or ten years after using it, wouldn't the league be in chaos?
If you accumulate enough points and use them for O'Neal, Jordan, Olajuwon and other famous players, wouldn't the Rockets be invincible?
An invisible brilliance flew towards Iverson, who was sweating profusely on the court, and disappeared instantly after touching it. Iverson only felt that there was something different in his body.
He held the ball and made a large change of direction in front of him, clearing the space. The next second he stepped on the ground and started to speed up. The speed was actually much faster than before. He passed Beverley cleanly and easily scored with a basket.
"How do you manage to speed up the ball even though your physical strength is so high?"
Beverly had a question mark on his face.
"I don't know either. The movements are the same as usual, but they suddenly became faster."
Iverson scratched his head. This strange and familiar feeling suddenly came back, and he didn't know why.
In the next round, Iverson continued to shuffle to find a rhythm, and then made a mid-range shot against Beverley. His take-off height for this shot was also a few points higher than before.
Iverson is in a good mood, and it seems that the physical training these days has really paid off.
Can I still be the focus of the league like Kobe?
Hope arose in Iverson's heart. He is a very arrogant person. He wants to succeed in everything he does and must succeed.
In that year's draft, he entered the league as the number one pick, becoming the shortest number one pick in history. In fact, if Iverson had chosen to play rugby that year, he would have been the No. 1 pick in rugby.
This is an incredible thing. You must know that in the United States, those with the best physical fitness go to play rugby. Only those with average physical fitness will choose basketball. Even if they are as strong as James, they do not have the ability to participate in the rugby draft and become the number one pick. Selected.
It can be seen how amazing Iverson's physical fitness and ability are.
There are quite mixed voices from the outside world, some are optimistic and some are skeptical. But Iverson quickly defeated those who doubted him with his outstanding performance and won the Rookie of the Year award without any suspense.
In the following years, with the rise of Kobe Bryant, the two best young talents of the 1996 golden generation were inevitably discussed together.
Iverson was still dominant in terms of statistics and team status at the beginning, but as the "OK combination" established a dynasty for three consecutive championships, one of the years even defeated the digital man led by Iverson's single core. "Kobe is better than Iverson", this view is beginning to be recognized by more and more people.
The proud and arrogant Iverson will naturally not be content with others, but looking at his personal resume, four regular season scoring champions, three steals champions, three first-teamers, and three second-teamers are almost all the honors he can get. .
These honors are dazzling enough compared with most players, but if compared with Kobe, his biggest flaw is that he has never won a championship in his life. He has only made it to the finals once, averaging 35.6 points, 5.6 rebounds, 3.8 assists and 1.8 steals in five games. , and then was swept by the Lakers gentlemen who were in their prime.
Maybe many years later, when people mention Iverson again, they will probably say:
"I know him, the No. 1 pick of the 1996 golden generation, but the best of that generation was Kobe."
These two years of wandering around have worn away Iverson's arrogance. There was a time when he was also decadent and depressed, choosing to accept his fate.
But when everything gets better and hope is rekindled, he wants to fight again!
Xu Xin watched the duel between the two for a while. After Beverly adapted to Iverson's changes, he once again had the upper hand on both offense and defense.
"Hey, why don't you give me points as a reward for completing this task?"
Xu Xin looked at the system interface, and the bare 250 points were very eye-catching.
"The mission is not completed yet."
Loliyin said.
"Why is it not completed? Did I choose the wrong person? Is Iverson not qualified?"
Xu Xin broke out in a cold sweat. It shouldn't be. Iverson couldn't be ineligible.
"No, there is no problem with the person chosen by the host, but the mission must be completed only by helping him regain his condition."
Loliyin explained.
"Ah, how can we help him regain his condition?"
Xu Xin suddenly realized and asked again.
"Only you can appear in the official game and score more than 20 points."
"I see."
It seems that we have to wait for more than half a month.
Although Iverson's abilities in all aspects have increased after using "Nirvana Rebirth", the effect is not immediate. After all, it takes a month to fully recover. There is still a long way to go.
"With Iverson's current state, it's difficult to break into the rotation."
McHale came over and said.
He did not understand why Xu Xin chose to sign a 37-year-old veteran who had not played in a formal game for two years. Although this person was Iverson, Iverson was also a human being. As a human being, he could not violate the laws of nature. In this situation He is still not optimistic about it.
"He is still in the recovery training stage. Give him a month and he will surprise you."
Xu Xin said meaningfully.
"Then should I give him some playing time?"
McHale was torn.
"It's not necessary for now. I believe he won't be anxious. If he doesn't play for a long time, he will be easily injured if he suddenly becomes more intense. Wait half a month and arrange for him to participate in the team competition before making a decision."
Xu Xin thought for a moment and said.
The two then chatted about the current situation of the team. Although they were defeated by Nick Young in the last game,
The winning streak has ended, but the team still ranks first in the Western Conference with an impressive record of 27 wins and 9 losses, and is only 2 games away from the league's first "Big Three" Heat.
The five consecutive away games are over. Next, they will face the Hornets and Clippers at home, and then they will embark on an away trip again, another four consecutive away games.
The schedule during this period is really difficult. There are 9 away games in 11 games, including four back-to-back games, which is a great challenge for the players' physical fitness.
"If we are not careful during this period, we may suffer a losing streak and be overtaken by the Thunder and Spurs behind us."
McHale said worriedly.
"The soldiers will stop them, and the water will cover them. Such a dense schedule is also a good thing for them."
Xu Xin smiled, everything has two sides. It suddenly occurred to him that if the players could use the sports rehabilitation massage therapy he had obtained before becoming a regular player, it might have miraculous effects.
