The players appeared and the reporters pointed the cameras in their hands at Iverson. Obviously, they had already received this explosive news.

The United States may be the fastest place in the world where information is spreading the fastest. The news that Iverson was circulating in the locker room was immediately known by the Wizards on the opposite side.

After the players entered the court, the general Arenas ran over happily and asked Iverson with big eyes: "Hi, Allen, are you going to quit the All-Star? Are you burned out of the brain? This is not the one you I am familiar with."

Iverson hugged him and smiled and said, "Go to you, man, I am me, Allen Iverson, but I am not familiar with you. Are you still Rinas Gilbert River? Agent 0?"

Arenas smiled proudly and said, "Yes, Agent No. 0, that's a pity. I want to fight you on the All-Stars, so I can only teach you a lesson in advance

Billups walked up and said, "You can't be too cruel, man, this is the Golden State Warriors, your mother's home."

"Don't you know, my wife and I have a bad relationship?" Arenas laughed.

The Golden State Warriors are his first stop in his career, and it is also here that he has become a top star in the league. He played 47 games in his rookie season, including 3 starts, averaging 10.9 points, 2B rebounds, 3 attacks and 4 steals.

He entered the NHA in 201 and then became the Western Conference's best rookie in April 2020, averaging 6.6 points per game, 4B rebounds, 6l assists and 20 steals in nine games that month.

In the end, in the NH show, the score ranked fourth, assisted third, steal third and free throw fourth, three-point shooting percentage, and scored double-digit points in two of the last 34 games of the season.

And this person is just a second round pick in 201. At the original draft, more than two general managers believed that he could not have been together in the NHA for more than three years.

Arenas slapped these doubters hard, slapped them heavily, and fainted at least two general managers. Because of him, the alliance changed the salary rules for this purpose and specially issued the Arenas terms.

After chatting with Billups, Arenas asked Iverson again and said, "Man, are you really not going to play the All-Star anymore? I'll wait for you in there

In the past two seasons, Arenas has been trapped by a knee injury. He played in less than 2 games in two seasons, so he missed two All-Stars. This time, it has been shown that his knee injury has indeed healed so far. He played all of them after playing for more than two months this season. In this way, he will definitely not miss the Eastern Conference All-Stars.

There is no good defender in the East, and only Wade is the absolute All-Star starter. In addition, the Bulls No. 1 pick Rose is also growing, but his popularity cannot be compared with the general. Since the first round of All-Star votes, Arenas has won only second only to Wade in the defender.

"You go and wait for the lesson," Iverson said with a smile. As he suddenly realized, he looked at Arenas with malicious intentions and said, "Man, are you really ready for the All-Star? What number jersey are you going to wear at that time?"

Arenas wore a No. 0 jersey, and so did Chamberlain.

In the past, player numbers could overlap in the All-Star Game, but in the late 8th and late 3rds, the NHA All-Star jersey was reformed. In addition to the upgrade of the quality of the fabric, the focus was on the conflict between the stars' back numbers.

In order to facilitate the referee's penalty, NH determines that when a player's number conflicts, one party must make changes and choose another number. During that period, the most concentrated numbers of superstars were No. 3, 33 and 34.

Therefore, Malone (No. 2) needs to change the number every year - he has a big name? There is a bigger magician Johnson on No. 3. In addition, Pippen, Hill, and Mooning are also crazy. These poor children are all No. 33.

Generally speaking, changing jersey numbers requires following the qualifications of the world. Those with shallow qualifications need to actively change their numbers. For example, Ewing - number), because of the collision with Bird in the early years of his career, he was forced to change numbers many times. After Bird retired, Ewing dominated No. 33, Pippen, Hill, Mourning and other later generations had to retreat.

When Barkley came to the West in the 19th season, the superstar wearing the No. 34 jersey met Olajuwon, who was not as good as him in the world at that time. Barkley, who was generous enough, finally chose to give up No. 34 (this must have shocked many fans, yes Sir Barkley is a real man), but this still made Barkley fans very dissatisfied. In this regard, the NHA began to consider the increasingly distinctive problem of players' personalization, and solving the awkward issue of players' number collision was put on the agenda.

After many discussions, the NH still couldn't solve the problem of number collision, and finally decided to "be lazy" before the 1997 All-Star Game. NH abandoned the design of a special All-Star jersey, and All-Stars only need to wear their daily game jerseys. Of course, in order to meet the situation, the NHA requires players to have a five-pointed star embroidered on their jerseys to represent that this is an All-Star game.

From 1997 to the 2-year All-Star Game, All-Star Jacket has always been a daily match jersey for players. Although this avoids the problem of repetition of numbers from the referee technical level, it seriously affects the commercial interests of NHAR spoons, and the sales of NHA All-Star Jacket have declined year by year.

"No one spends another $100 for an ordinary competition uniform with just one five-pointed star," the New York Times joked in two years.

The damage to commercial interests has made NH determined to make changes. Between the accuracy of referees' judgment and commercial interests, NHA of course has to choose the latter. At the 203 All-Star Game, NH finally launched a new All-Star Battle Jacket, which is the battle jacket that has lasted to this day.

Arenas immediately thought of this question, his mouth twitched and asked, "What number did the All-Stars wear in the previous few years?"

"No. 0." Iverson smiled gloatingly.

The general's expression suddenly changed drastically and he sneered: "He is worthy of wearing No. 0?"

The number 0 of Arenas is very particular and legendary. If you write a book in this way, it will definitely be popular.

In middle school, Arenas had a wide range of interests, such as football, basketball, and track and field. But at the end of his first-year high school season, his coach reached a conclusion that changed his life: "You will never be able to play basketball in college."

Arenas was angry and wanted to prove that what the coach said was wrong. So, from that day on, he started practicing basketball before dawn every morning, and spent the whole day on the basketball court to fight with different people alone or team up with different people.

Anyone, any time, any venue, any competition.

After a summer of crazy training, Arenas transferred to another local high school before the fall semester. With his soccer skills, he immediately became the team's starting star, contributing an average of 2.B points per game in three years, and in the last year, he scored 33 points per game and became the top scorer in California high school.

But the same story repeats itself again: the so-called "experts" in the newspapers predicted in a sympathetic tone that he "maybe" is good enough to sit on the bench in the college basketball world, but the game time will be 0

In fact, there were few local basketball schools in California who had heard of this child who scored 33 points per game at that time. Arenas's father even had to call the coaches of the University of Southern California and UCLA to introduce his children.

Finally, because another child who had promised to go to the University of Arizona went back on his word and left a place for basketball scholarship, Arenas was "lucky" to take the last bus to enter the prestigious basketball school.

On the first day of his enrollment, he chose No. 0 as his back number, reminding himself that experts predicted that his playing time in the college basketball industry was 0. This No. 0 guy became the starting guard and number one scorer of the strong Arizona University in his sophomore year, and led the team to the NCA finals.

After the sophomore year, Arenas decided to participate in the NH draft in advance - doubt or doubt.

This time, those "experts" said that he is a college shooting guard who is not as tall as the NHA point guard, and after entering the NHAO, he will not be able to transform into a playback - he is a typical "Bcr" - both sides can do it but neither side can do it.

Reality confirms the views of the Bricks. On the day of the draft, Arenas did not arrive at the draft. He watched his name fall on TV in a hotel in California and was ignored. The whole first round passed, but his name was still not available. Arenas suddenly collapsed. He burst into tears and threw all the gifts his friends gave him to celebrate his entry into the NHA out of the window.

After the draft, Arenas told reporters that he will be the starter in his rookie season and will definitely become an All-Star in the future.

Everyone scoffed at that time, but everyone knew what happened later. The general broke out and became the strongest second-round pick in NHA history. Later, there was Adidas's "I am Arenas, this is my story and advertisement."

Arenas looked at Iverson and said seriously: "Allen, you mean, it's the best in number 0. If I play the All-Star and collide with him, I have to change the number

Billups couldn't help laughing and laughed: "Gilbert, can you use your brain more? You are a player from the East and a player from the West. How can you two conflict?"

Arenas was stunned, then became angry and yelled: "I will let him know later that not everyone can wear 0 sizes."

After saying that, he gave Chamberlain a fierce look and returned to their half angrily.

Chamberlain asked with a confused face, "What happened?"

Iverson explained the previous incident, and Chamberlain was amused and cried, "Yu, I was shot while lying down."

The starting lineup sent by the Wizards are: center Brendan Heywood, power forward Jamison, small forward Caron Butler, organizational defender Arenas, and shooting guard Randy Foye.

The Warriors' starting lineup is: center Chamberlain, power forward Blair, small forward Jackson, organizational defender Billups, and shooting guard Iverson.

There is a reason why Blair was suddenly sent as the starting power forward. Last season, the Warriors lost badly with the Wizards. Jamison is a forward swingman. The power forward's height and small forward are flexible. Whether Ibaka or Jackson are sent, they will be beaten up.

Old Nelson suffered a lot about this, and it happened that Blair is also such a player. He is the opposite, the small forward's tall power of the powerful forward, and the two face each other. Old Nelson felt that Blair should have a way to deal with Jamison.

When he jumped the ball at the beginning, facing Heywood, who was of the same height, Chamberlain, who had an absolute advantage in jumping and wingspan, he easily picked the ball.

Like Arenas, Heywood entered the NHAR spoon in 201 and was selected by the Cleveland Cavaliers in the second place in the first round.

The Cavaliers traded Haywood to the Orlando Magic for Michael Doriac, and then he was traded to the Washington Wizards, who exchanged for Larone Profit and a first-round draft pick.

Haywood played as a starting center for most of his first six seasons with the Wizards, and by the 20726B season his career statistics have improved significantly, averaging a career-high 10.6 points per game and able to grab two rebounds.

But unfortunately, he also suffered injuries last season. After returning from injury this season, he was originally a coolie blue-collar worker, and his physical injury was plagued by injuries, so his combat effectiveness was even worse.
