Hello，everyone, I am very glad to give the speech here. Before the
talk begins, I want to know, do u like sports? Then, do u have a favorite
sports player? Yeah, me too. And today I would like to introduce my
favorite sports player- Allen Iverson to everybody.
Iverson, also called the answer, I3, is a legend in national basketball
association. In 1996, he was accepted by the Team 76ers with the
identification of the very best player. Since then, he started his fantasy life
as the shortest but the most excellent shooting guard.
Iverson is only 183centimeters high. However, he has broken lots of
records and harvested many honors. His defense penetration ability is
unique in the association. And these are the honors he got.
Though Iverson’s performance in the game was brilliant, his career
was not very successful. He worked in 76ers for his greatest 10 years and
became the leader of the team. But he was later transferred to Detroit
Pistons、Denver Nuggets and Memphis Grizzlies in the next four years.
Last regular season, not satisfied with his alternate role, Iverson
announced his retirement in 2010.
Iverson is a great basketball player definitely, but what attracts me
most is his diligence and sincerity. He once said: I play every game as if
it is my last. 我把每一场球赛都当作我的最后一场。No matter what,
just do not give up .Always believe that your dream can come true &
just keep working for what you want to achieve. 无论如何都不要放弃。总要相信你的梦想是可以实现，并且努力地为它奋斗.And this deeply
touched and inspired me.
The first time I got known him was in a magazine, anyone who love
basketball should know, the Dunk. There was a report about him, titled
more blue than the sea, referring to Iverson’s blue shirts，marked number
3, as well as his blue sorrows. In the referring photo, Iverson’s big eyes
are full of guilt. This is the year he was transferred from Detroit to
Denver. He told the media the below words that burst my tears at the
right moment:” I felt sorry to my wife. She has adapted to the life in
Detroit and she loves the city. She doesn’t want to move any more. I
should provide her an enjoyable life, but I failed.” From these words, I
see a man who is in deep love with his wife and I decide to love this man
ever since.
Leaving NBA, Iverson joined an European team and claimed his
quit after an injury. Then I haven’t got his news for a long time. But last
week, I heard about him. It is said that he is preparing for the Las Vegas
star basketball game. As the captain of one of the four teams, he is
organizing stars to join his team. I am looking forward to his return.
In the end, I’d like to invite everyone to share a video about
Iverson’s appearance on the court. I hope you can like it, like him.
