"That would be great! Let's work together!"
Xu Xin smiled.
The few people walked back to the locker room talking and laughing. When they arrived at the door, Xu Xin took a step back and made a gesture of invitation.
Iverson understood instantly and explained with a smile:
"The ice water celebration has been completed during my interview, you can enter without worry."
Xu Xin smiled and shook his head. He had suffered a loss once. Based on the principle of never falling into the same pit twice, he was cautious.
Seeing this, Iverson didn't give any more explanation, pushed open the door to the locker room, and walked in casually.
"Wow!"
A bucket of ice water larger than before, so full that it was about to overflow, was poured on Iverson's head without a drop falling.
Even though he was strong-willed enough, he couldn't help but say "ah".
Before he could react, another bucket of ice, bigger than before, poured it over him again.
"What did I say? Fortunately, I had the foresight."
Xu Xin stood at the door and watched everything that just happened, and said to Yao Ming and McGrady.
The two of them raised their thumbs in unison.
Yao Ming pretended to be worried and said:
"Now this Rockets feels strange to me. It's too wild. With this kind of welcome, I don't even dare to play."
"I am the one who needs to worry. You are so tall. Who can lift such a big bucket of water to such a height?"
Maddie shook her head and said helplessly.
"That makes sense."
Yao Ming patted McGrady on the shoulder and smiled.
Two buckets of water fell to the ground. Iverson looked around with "tears in his eyes" and shouted:
"What is going on here! Why don't you play your cards according to the routine? It's too much!"
Harden stood up and explained with a smile:
"A bucket of water represents one year away from the game. You have been away for three years, which is exactly three buckets."
Before Iverson could speak, he continued to speak loudly:
"Come, let's welcome home tonight's hero!"
"Manager Xu, Yao, Tracy, come together!"
. . .
Everyone on the Rockets team celebrated wildly in the locker room, and the outside world was also shocked.
Major sports news homepages listed Iverson's explosive debut as headlines, and the photos used were exactly the same, showing him dunking after a steal.
Famous basketball commentator, A. Smith even recorded the video as soon as the game ended.
"First of all, I would like to welcome Allen Iverson back to the NBA and congratulate him on such an amazing debut. His 22 points, 5 assists, 2 rebounds and 3 steals are impressive enough.
But my good words stop there. Next, I may have to pour cold water on my respected Mr. Allen.
Can his physical condition maintain the level of this game? In my opinion, almost impossible. You must know that Iverson is no longer the trend-chasing boy he once was. He is 36 years old. He has left the NBA for three years and even left the professional basketball game for two years. To suddenly participate in such a high-intensity game, there is a risk of injury. Very big.
In addition, his more classical style of play relies on speed and explosive power, as can be seen from tonight's game against the Nuggets. When he faces Andre Miller, he can play the basketball he's used to. But when he faced the faster and stronger Ty Lawson, his efficiency plummeted.
You know, there are many defenders in the league who are faster and stronger than Ty Lawson, and Iverson will not always encounter opponents like the old Miller. "
As soon as the video came out, it quickly caused an uproar.
Many fans think A. Smith's words are reasonable. After all, no player has ever been able to efficiently contribute more than 20 points per game at the age of 36 after leaving the NBA for three years. Even Joe is not efficient enough. .
However, there are also some fans who are optimistic about Iverson, and most of them are Iverson fans and Rockets fans.
The two factions held their own opinions and soon became quarrelsome on the Internet.
Until Xu Xin returned home, the dispute had not yet been resolved.
Xu Xin was leaning on the sofa, scrolling through everyone's comments on his phone.
He smiled slightly. Regarding the way Iverson was used, he never expected him to score more than 20 points in every game. Iverson's greatest value is that he can stand up and save the team when Harden, Jeremy Lin and others are lost.
Just like facing the Nuggets tonight, the team originally had only two organizers, Harden and Jeremy Lin, and even Jeremy Lin was not considered a top organizer.
In the playoffs, Harden will definitely be the target of the opponent's focus. If he performs abnormally, at least there will be a top ball-handler like Iverson on the bench.
It can be said that the original rocket was driven by a single core, but now the rocket with Iverson is driven by a dual core.
The dual cores cannot function at the same time, but when one fails, the other is enough to help the team win.
No, the current Rockets are not only dual-core, but also have top backcourt ball-holders like Tracy McGrady!
When Xu Xin thought of this, the update speed of comments on the phone screen slowed down significantly. Xu Xin thought there was a problem with the network and got up to check the router at home.
"It's no problem."
He looked around and found that the router was intact. Looking at the phone screen again, the comments are updated even more slowly. Xu Xin touched the back of his head, a little confused.
Simply clear the background and enter again. After clicking on it, Xu Xin suddenly realized.
It turned out that another major news was revealed, which diverted the traffic away.
It's nothing else, it's the news that Yao Ming and Tracy McGrady signed with the Rockets.
Wo Shen still had great powers and was the first to announce the news.
"The latest signing news, Rockets general manager Xu Xin officially signed Yao Ming and Tracy McGrady today. The contracts are both with basic salaries. Both are former Rockets players and were all-star players. What role will they play this time joining the Rockets? It’s worth looking forward to.”
The content is not long, but it whets your appetite.
Xu Xin has always been curious about who the source of information from Wo Shen was. Less than two hours after he submitted his application, Wo Shen sent it out.
He couldn't think of a reason after much thought, so he simply stopped thinking about it because he wouldn't do this job anyway.
Click on the comment area, there are already over 10,000 comments.
"Yao Ming? Hasn't he retired?"
"Who says it's not the case? I didn't expect that I could make a comeback."
"What's the point? Iverson hasn't played in a professional game for more than two years."
"That's different. Yao Ming is too heavy and it's much more difficult to get back into shape than Iverson."
"T-Mac was obviously not good enough last season, and he even signed with a Chinese team last summer."
"I guess the two of them are more of an assistant coach, helping to guide young players."
"One more thing, to sell tickets!"
"agree!"
"That makes sense!"
