Chapter 195
Philadelphia, Iverson.
I don't know when, Liu Mang's impression of the Philadelphia 76ers was deeply engraved with the name Iverson. Even if there are better talents in the future, Ben Simmons and Embiid, Ben Simmons averaged 17+8+7, just looking at the statistics is comparable to a magician, Embiid is also a player full of talent, the two have brought endless shock to the fans in the first year of their cooperation.
But these are not as good as one person - Allen Iverson.
Generally speaking, players of the same class, and players of the same class who have persisted in the league for five or six years and have not been eliminated, will come up to say hello, at least to exchange pleasantries, when they play against each other.
But Iverson is no!
In terms of dealing with opponents, Iverson is the same as Kobe, the standard type of player in the 1990s.
After playing the Celtics on the 25th, the Eagles flew to Philadelphia that night and played the 76ers on the 26th.
The 76ers, Raptors, and Pacers, the three teams are in full swing from sixth to eighth in the East, and the 76ers are unwilling to lose more than one game.
It can be said that Iverson has a weird personality, and he can be said to have a unique shooting style, but he cannot deny his competitive heart!
When his strength is at its peak, if the team's lineup and style of play fit him well, he has proved that he can win the MVP and reach the finals.
Never underestimate such an opponent!
Especially Raheem, now the desire to beat the players in the same class is unparalleled!
"Ace, Jason, let's fuck him!" Raheem still wanted to be double-teamed like the last time he played against Iverson.
Jason Terry is also ready to move. Iverson, who is also a small man, is very upset by the arrogant Iverson.
"Come on, let's fight hard, don't use those crooked brains, you two, you only know how to think of unreliable methods all day long, don't you know how to fight with your strength?" Liu Mang would not tell The two of them used the effect of the separation card last time and the gamble that they were not an important part of the team at the time. Now the 76ers' situation has obviously stabilized. Although it is completely incomparable with last season, it is still the postseason How could it be possible for a team to play like that.
Don't use your brains? Thinking of unreliable methods all day long?
Raheem and Jason Terry looked at each other while Liu Mang was boasting and pretending to be brainless, and started to abuse the rookie again...
"Kimo chicken... you two bastards... Jamaica fell..."
The 76ers fans behind the Hawks bench looked enviously at the three cores of the Eagles who were fighting. This harmonious atmosphere, the 76ers have never seen this year!
However, there are also fans who are proficient in Japanese movies and look at the three with weird eyes...
...
...
At eight o'clock in the evening on the 26th, the last game in the Eastern Conference today, the Eagles also have the treatment of a popular team! For the first time this season, ESPN will broadcast the Eagles game live, and it will be added! And it may become a regular decision to broadcast a popular Eagles game every ten or so games!
It sounds like it’s really rare to broadcast once in a dozen games, but the Lakers and 76ers have only 14 live broadcasts on ESPN this season, 36 live broadcasts for the Lakers in the United States, 31 for the 76ers, 28 for the Knicks, and 25 for the Raptors. times, the Wizards 23 times, which is the most! The Magic have only played 16 nationally televised games all season
If the Eagles add T.N.T., Time Warner, and ABC’s national live broadcasts, they can always choose to add the Eagles’ games. There are about 40 games left, and there will be 17 or 18 national live broadcasts throughout the season. Ranked in the top ten of the league's 29 teams!
The Eagles just played the first back-to-back game and came to Philadelphia. Relatively speaking, this game will not be so easy. The main reason is that there is no time to prepare before the game. This is the most painful and difficult part of the second back-to-back game.
The game ended at 8:30 last night, and all kinds of post-match maintenance and media matters were done at 10:00, mainly in the media. After the team became popular, the media interviews that I used to envy to death gradually became a burden. After a delay of more than half an hour, I arrived at the airport at 12 o'clock and arrived at the Sonestar Littenhouse Plaza Hotel in Philadelphia at close to 4 o'clock. Then the players were too sleepy, and they fell asleep again at dawn. In the afternoon, there was not much time to prepare at all.
Relatively speaking, although the 76ers also played against the visiting San Antonio Spurs yesterday and were beaten 97 to 70, at least they are sitting at home and waiting for work. The strength advantage of the Eagles is not much.
Liu Mang, who was ravaged by bad teammates again, "cursed" Jason Terry and Raheem to go up and be tortured to death by Iverson, and then save the world by himself...Of course it's just thinking about it, he still expects the two to go up Just play the advantage and go harvest the game by yourself.
At the beginning of the season, every player must have played with all his strength, but the regular season is too long, and there are back-to-back pressures. They all want to solve their opponents in twos and twos and then rest.
The pre-match activities are over, and the competition officially begins!
Mutombo beat Ratliff to win the jump ball and the 76ers went first.
The 76ers sent Eric Snow and Iverson, two very defensive backcourt combinations, and Matt Harprin, Derek Coleman, and Mutombo in the frontcourt. Except for Derek Coleman, everyone is built for Iverson's performance. Point guards and small forwards are the types that will be called 3D players in the future. The center is the best defensive player. This lineup is for the future. It is estimated that the effect will be very good.
However, Derek Coleman replaced the 76ers' blue-collar power forward Teiran Hill last season, which destroyed this one-man and four-man defensive catch-and-shoot style.
At the beginning of the season, Iverson always wanted to show his "selflessness" and wanted to give Coleman the ball and let him play, which caused both of them to play awkwardly, and the 76ers couldn't play to open up space. He was double-teamed every time in singles inside, and Iverson was a bit miserable without the ball. His off-ball power was not as strong as when the Nuggets had two guns, and both of them played awkwardly.
As the season progressed, the 76ers' style of play was determined, and Coleman was allowed to be a 3D power forward, shooting three-pointers and air cuts.
In this way, although Coleman's data is far from the peak performance of 21+11.2+3.6 per game, only 15 points, 7 rebounds and 2 assists per game, the 76ers have unified their style of play and are gradually on the right track.
Snow grabbed the ball and advanced it to the frontcourt and handed it to Iverson.
Coleman and Halprin, two players who have made 35% of their three-pointers this season, are standing in the bottom corner. Mulder guards a corner alone and dare not let go. These two guys have 34% three-point shooting percentage in their careers. I really dare not let go. Snow is fast, and Jacqui Vaughn can't let go either. He, he has a strong impact.
Raheem defended against Iverson with a big step on the line, his palms were sweating.
We chatted lively before the game, but when we really wanted to fight Iverson, we were still very nervous!
This is the current number one player in the same class!
At this stage, Iverson really doesn't look down on any players in the same class except Kobe! Accelerate the breakthrough directly, without fake moves.
The ordinary speed of 97 is too exaggerated! It's not that Raheem has not trained against Liu Mang and Jason Terry in the team. One has a speed of 94 and the other has a speed of 91. Neither of them is as exaggerated as Iverson's starting acceleration of 100 and an average speed of 70!
Raheem retreated again and again, but still failed to interfere with Iverson, caressing the mid-range throwing shot that jumped from the bottom line!
Ratliff couldn't catch up with the throw, Raheem's defense didn't play a big role, and Iverson made a throw with full speed and easily hit it!
