身高不是距离。他离天空最远,却离天堂最近。艾弗森身材最矮,但破坏力最强。巨人在他眼中只是玩笑,他似乎乐于用速度摧毁任何傻大个的斗志。就在2000年的夏天,艾弗森差点终止了在76人队的赛场征程。由于76人在东部半决赛又一次被步行者队淘汰,主教练布朗感到了极度失望。“如果他又用华丽的词藻来表达决心,他会说他知道该做什么,他还会是球队的核心。”布朗说,“但是,我只会时常回想起1998—99赛季。我们严肃地谈论过他的责任和义务,但到了现在还是没有任何改观,每次交谈后,我都说不要慌,让我再看看。可是……我真的很失望。”又一次,常规赛49胜33负是76人队近十年的最好战绩,并连续两个赛季打入东部半决赛。艾弗森的场均得分也是职业生涯的新高,并且首次入选全明星阵容。但布朗认为:“我们还没有绝对的夺冠实力,也暴露了很多不足之处,这是必须弥补的。” Height is not distance. He farthest from the sky, but from heaven recently. Iverson the shortest, but the most destructive. Giants just joking in his eyes, he seems willing to use speed to destroy any silly morale. In the summer of 2000, Iverson almost ended the 76ers team track. As the 76ers were again eliminated by the Pacers in the Eastern Conference semifinals, coach Brown was extremely disappointed. “If he expresses his determination with gorgeous rhetoric, he’ll say he knows what to do and he’ll be the core of the team. ” Brown said. “But I just always think back to the 1998-99 season We talked seriously about his responsibilities and obligations, but until now we have not changed anything, and after each conversation I said, do not panic and let me see again. But ... I am really disappointed. ” , 49 wins and 33 losses in the regular season is the 76ers best record of nearly a decade and for two consecutive seasons into the Eastern Conference semifinals. Allen Iverson averaged career-highs and made his All-Star appearance for the first time. However, Brown believes: “We have not won the absolute strength, but also exposed a lot of shortcomings, it is necessary to make up for. ”
