這場比賽的大功臣Mikal Bridges，如同小鐵的好文所敘述，是在三年前的夏天，費城76人跟鳳凰城太陽的交易下，來到太陽隊。
老實說，要說那個時候誰更需要這種成熟即戰力的側翼，我認為絕對是76人；要說這兩隊，誰會先打到總冠軍戰，我也認為絕對是76人。
並不是要說這筆交易決定了兩隊的命運，但每個行為背後的目的都反映出某些認知跟動機，加上一些不可控的變因跟運氣，造就了當76人的"Trust the Process"在Ben身上產生問題時，太陽的光芒已經照耀了半個NBA總冠軍獎盃。

[AhUtopian的公牛雜談]自己的路(圖文不符)

老溫最近說了一段話：
許多評論跟球迷最詭異的一點，就是講到交易AD時愛說我們有很棒的年輕球員跟很多選秀權，但是當講到KI如果離隊、AD不來，又是一副世界毀滅的模樣；本質上，真正相信這些拿來招搖撞騙的東西有用的不多，但被戳到的時候又完全義和團模式。
看看阿拓，沒有小Curry，沒有雷高塔，昨天第四節根本沒有機會跟勇士抗衡。勇士有KD時，大家都快忘記KT跟Green的重要性，但沒有Green價值連城的傳球跟阻攻，勇士第四節後段就讓阿拓拉開了；願意一拼的態度，才是真正的瑰寶，我們靠態度起家，卻在最後迷信天賦，當自己放棄了，就什麼都不剩。

回過頭來看過去兩年，公牛自己的討論社團或群組，也陷入了許多養成跟路線的爭執討論，而許多熟知我討論風格的朋友們，也開始發現向來還算用詞上會節制的我，對於那些完全沒去管公牛球員打出什麼態度，只會說「換掉所有人然後坦Zion Williams」這樣類似論調的人，越來越毫不遮掩我的缺乏耐心跟鄙視。
看看NBA這次季後賽最後四強，甚至再把年份拉長都無所謂，到底哪來的天真想像覺得不去在乎求勝意志的坦，比起既有球員努力成長拉高地板甚至打破天花板，更能幫助球隊呀？當你看著Zach LaVine這一季來試圖做到多少事情，然後腿快抽筋、還是堅持在一場對上同樣也是重建球隊的比賽中求勝，你怎麼可以說這個人沒有領袖氣質、沒有團隊凝聚力，然後輕言要把他換掉？
-
更別提，「Trust The Process」的76人，是在換來「第30順位一點都沒有所謂的驚人天份、完全靠著意志、心態跟努力突破天花板」的Jimmy Butler，才在季後賽打出真正強隊的態樣；公牛今年的第7順位選秀，有點難操作，但是如果我們不要過度地把這個第7順位看成什麼解命萬靈丹，而回頭過來看看我們過去兩年累積的，尤其是剛結束的這季。
我們有一個天份驚人、然後心態跟求勝意志上讓我非常驚艷的領袖LaVine，雖然狀態還是常有不穩，但是在得分方面確實有相當高的天花板、心態上也願意當副手的Lauri Markkanen，不管位置、心態、能力都可以擔當多種角色的Otto Porter，從第一天心態跟球技全面性就成熟到老成的Wendell Carter Jr.。
Kris Dunn還有課題要處理，但絕非一無是處跟毫無期待，一個確定目標跟徹底調整身體肌肉機制的夏天，可能可以讓他整個改頭換面，Chandler Hutchison、Denzel Valentine會是我們下季非常被低估的一對多功能側翼；Wayne Selden、Shaq Harrison、Ryan Arcidiacono、Walter Lemon只要正確地在板凳上定位清楚，也都是可用深度。

熟悉NBA的人們應該知道
傷病是運動員最大的敵人
像是Derrick Rose
因此保持健康持續變強
也是我在訓練的一個重要目標
1.對比一下走路的右腳
是不是改善多了呢
學一下76人的標語
Trust the process
結合肌力與體能的訓練
想辦法讓人達到更好的生物力學
讓本來有傷痛的人能回到好的狀態
才能負荷多的訓練量
否則變強就報銷 不是讓人更灰心嗎
2.改善下背痛跟動作心得擷取 但礙於篇幅就放上一點點吧
➡️你有什麼傷痛困擾著你
After a drawn-out recruitment by the Memphis Grizzlies, Iverson finally confirmed Wednesday morning that he is indeed ready to sign with them, announcing via his Twitter feed: "God Chose Memphis as the place that I will continue my career."
Referring to a Monday meeting with Grizzlies owner Michael Heisley, general manager Chris Wallace and head coach Lionel Hollins, Iverson added: "I feel that they are committed to developing a winner and I know that I can help them to accomplish that. I feel that I can trust them."
The Grizzlies are believed to be offering Iverson a one-year deal worth $3.5 million, which is far less than the nearly $21 million he earned last season in Denver and Detroit but more than anyone else was prepared to pay the 34-year-old.
At Heisley's behest, Memphis has been pursuing Iverson since July, ignoring concerns about his willingness to accept a reserve role or his ability to co-exist in the same offense with Mayo, Gay and Randolph because of Iverson's presumed ability to generate interest and sell tickets. The Grizzlies, throughout Heisley's ownership, have languished in the shadow of the Memphis Tigers' many successes in the collegiate game.
Grizzlies officials have yet to formally announce the signing but have made it clear since last week that they have merely been waiting for Iverson to take their offer.
In a radio interview Tuesday with WHBQ-AM in Memphis, Wallace sounded hopeful about Iverson ultimately joining the team, saying: "We had a very productive meeting yesterday where both sides got to know each other and what our expectations were. We got to hear Allen out, he got to hear us out and I thought it went pretty well."
Asked specifically about Iverson's well-known aversion to coming off the bench, Wallace said: "He indicated to us that he just wants to come in and help a team out, to get better, to win, and he'll shine during that process. I think Allen Iverson is going to be very fine with whatever role he would end up fulfilling here in Memphis. ... He knows where we're coming from, we know where he's coming from and I think if he comes here it's going to be a very productive marriage."
Monday's sitdown in Atlanta was the first face-to-face contact between Iverson and Grizzlies officials since the process began, with Memphis negotiating to this point primarily with Leon Rose, Iverson's agent.
Iverson has spent much of the past two months hoping that a firm offer would materialize from the Miami Heat, New York Knicks or Charlotte Bobcats, with the latter presenting the possibility of a reunion with former coach Larry Brown. But Iverson was ultimately forced to concede that only the Grizzlies had the financial flexibility and definite interest to pay him more than a minimum salary after his nightmarish stint with the Pistons.
Iverson played in only 57 games last season after being dealt by Denver to Detroit less than a week into the season and averaged a career-low 17.5 points, hampered by a back injury and his open struggles to cope with coming off the bench for the first time in his career. He would end up leaving the Pistons in April by mutual agreement before the playoffs.
But Iverson has insisted in recent days that he is amenable to whatever the Grizzlies have in mind for him as well as the steep drop from last season's salary, writing via Twitter: "Memphis is a place that I would love to play. The Grizzlies have good young players with a great upside. I love the city of Memphis, too.
"I would lead by example," Iverson wrote.
With Mayo at the same position, Mike Conley returning at point guard and Randolph's arrival over the summer, bringing in Iverson would appear to run counter to the Grizzlies' previous intent to develop a group of youngsters which also includes center Marc Gasol and No. 2 overall draft pick Hasheem Thabeet.
Yet in a July interview with ESPN.com, Heisley disputed suggestions that signing Iverson -- the sort of drawing card that the Grizzlies have never had in an eight-season run in Memphis marked by notoriously low attendance figures -- was dangerous or purely motivated by the prospect of ticket sales.
"What appeals to me?" Heisley said, repeating the question. "He's one of the greatest players in the last 10 years in the NBA."
In an interview Wednesday with NBA.com, Heisley said: "He told us he was very interested in playing with the young team we've assembled. He thought he could help us win and he was looking forward to helping the young players, and helping them to develop. Frankly, I'm ecstatic to have him.
"I don't buy into all of the stuff that's gone on. I'm not saying none of it happened. Some of it did ... but I know Allen is an excellent player. He's going to the Hall of Fame. ... The city of Memphis is going to be ecstatic to have him. We've never had a Hall of Famer, a guy of Allen's stature playing in Memphis. I feel Allen is going to be outstanding for us."
