Chapter 313

On March 15th, on this great day, the Eagles are about to usher in a home game against last year's MVP Allen Iverson's Philadelphia 76ers.

But it's a pity that Iverson can't play today's game.

In fact, Iverson has been playing with injuries this season. At the beginning, the right elbow was damaged, and after recovery, the left elbow was damaged. It is said that to protect the right elbow, he used the left elbow too much, just after Kobe's Achilles tendon rupture Not daring to use too much force with the left leg, resulting in a fracture of the tibia of the right leg knee and being reimbursed for the second season.

Rose also had a similar situation. He injured his knee on one leg. After the first reimbursement, he came back in a very good condition. As a result, the other leg was also injured, and he finally disappeared.

Iverson suffered consecutive injuries after the All-Star Weekend, and finally couldn't hold on in March. The fourth metacarpal in his left hand was fractured, which is the one on the ring finger. Conservative treatment also required a good rest. In order not to affect the playoffs, pull After discussing with Iverson, Brown and Iverson decided that Iverson should play as few games as possible before the 76ers fell out of the top eight, recuperating and waiting for the playoffs.

The 76ers' schedule is very easy, even easier than the Eagles. In the last 30-odd days, they didn't even have back-to-backs!

This is the schedule benefit of last season's runner-up. Together with the Lakers and Mavericks, they are the three teams with the least number of back-to-backs this season. They only have 14 back-to-backs throughout the season, while the Eagles have played back-to-backs 14 times. There are two more. Second-rate.

Moreover, the opponents of the 76ers at the end of the season are all average, and there are few top teams. Of course, since the 76ers themselves are not very good this season, it seems that it is not so easy.

However, Iverson truce these few games, and Raja Bell, who replaced Iverson as the starting shooting guard, performed well. The 76ers mainly played defense and played as fast as the Heat. The winning percentage was also good. The sixth record in the Eastern Conference is still very good. steady.

Originally, according to media reports, Iverson said in an interview that he might play this game, so the Eagles’ training for the past two days was based on the 76ers with Iverson, and Iverson played with injuries. Not once or twice, and has always been able to play the strength of the league's most scoring super scorer.

Unexpectedly, the 76ers just feinted. Before the start of the game, Iverson came out in a suit, and the Eagles knew that they had been swayed!

Looking at Iverson with an awkward expression in front of him, Liu Mang probably guessed that this guy probably quarreled with the old coach in the locker room again, probably because he wanted to play but was not allowed.

Iverson rarely greets his opponents before the game, and they used to be cold.

However, with the camaraderie of fighting against Kobe during the All-Star Weekend, Iverson looked at Liu Mang differently. When greeting Raheem before the game, he even found Liu Mang who was practicing shooting alone.

Iverson was also puzzled. He knew that Liu Mang had a very good relationship with Raheem and Jason Terry. Why did the news keep saying that the Eagles had internal conflicts?

"Boss Allen, it's boring not to be able to beat the 76ers with you." Liu Mang provocatively.

"Hmph, don't be too happy! Let's see each other!" Iverson said angrily.

"Cut, you're talking so big, can you make it to the Eastern Conference Finals?" Liu Mang was not so optimistic.

"...Anything can happen!" Iverson also knows that their strength is not very good this year, but whoever said it well, you must have the heart of a championship!

Isn't the Rockets only sixth in the Western Conference to win the championship?

After exchanging pleasantries for a while, the US Empire song was played and the pre-game activities ended, and the Eagles vs. 76ers game started.

Because it is not sure whether Iverson will play, the major TV stations are very conservative in today's game and did not broadcast it.

Then their conservatism is right, this game is very boring.

The 76ers don't have Iverson, they just play defensively and use Eric Snow's organizational ability, Derek Coleman, and Raja Bell's long-range shots to take charge of the offense. The scene is extremely ugly, plus the defense Matt Harprin, a white tough guy with a big beep, played like a piston that has been in the past few years, with a slow and smelly rhythm.

Moreover, these people's ability to control the rhythm is not strong, and they were quickly overwhelmed by the fast impact of the Eagles. The rhythm of the game has completely entered the high speed that the Eagles want. After the score of 7 to 6 in the half quarter killed the fans' viewing experience, Liu Mang came up, together with Jason Terry and Raheem, a wave of shocks turned the score into 14 to 9, and Liu Mang came up with Jia Sen Terry led the cavalry to charge and hit an 8-2 spurt.

The situation was quickly controlled by the Eagles.

Although the cavalry charge is very entertaining, the one-sided game is not exciting at all. Besides, the 76ers' defense is very good, very good. Adjustments from time to time can hinder the Eagles' counterattack, and the point difference can't be widened.

So it became the rhythm of the two teams. The Eagles occasionally counterattacked, but most of the time they still had to grind with the 76ers.

After the first quarter, the Eagles led 23 to 16 by 7 points and 46 to 35 at halftime by 11 points.

After the Eagles lost to the Heat, they had a high degree of concentration and did not give the 76ers who lacked Iverson's offensive ability a chance to cut in half. After taking the lead, they have maintained their lead.

Larry Brown has long expected to play against the No. 1 team in the Eastern Conference. Without Iverson, he can only rely on the opponent to relax, and the opponent does not relax, nor does he feel bad, and he himself does not feel explosive. It's impossible for them to win, so they don't get angry when they fall behind, otherwise what else can they do?

Most of the Eagles are playing very well and are not in a hurry. The score is leading and it is very stable!

Only Liu Mang felt a little hurt. He scored 5 points in the first quarter, 5 points in the second quarter, and 7 points in the third quarter. After playing for a while in the fourth quarter, Liu Mang still didn't score. The 76ers gave up and the Eagles also replaced. The main force, the two teams replaced the water dispenser lineup, and the chickens pecked at each other...

17 points...

Liu Mang expressed that he was very uncomfortable. Seeing that his average score was already 19.5 points per game, it would be great if he could get 20+ and be stable...

...

In the end, the game between the No. 1 in the Eastern Conference last season and the No. 1 Eastern Conference this season, which Iverson did not play, ended with the Eagles beating the 76ers 91 to 80. The Eagles won two consecutive victories after an upset loss to the Heat!

Liu Mang's performance of scoring 17 points in three quarters has become a normal performance in people's eyes. This guy has scored so many points in a single quarter, and people have long been used to it.

After the loss, Iverson didn't come to say hello to the Eagles players and left the arena directly. Liu Mang didn't care or hold grudges. He knew that this was Iverson's character traits, and he couldn't bear to say hello after losing.

If he had been smoother, he wouldn't have been the answer.

...

After playing the 76ers, the Eagles have eight games from the 17th to the 31st.

The first is the back-to-back of the 17th and 18th!

The last time they lost to the Heat, they lost so badly, the Eagles were so angry!

This time the Eagles want revenge!

And with confidence!

Because, on the day of playing against the 76ers, Ratliff got the proof that he was fully recovered, but the opponent did not play Iverson, so Coach Kruger asked Ratliff to take an extra day to play against the 76ers without Iverson , rushing up to hit the opponent is definitely not an opponent.

While playing against the Heat, the Eagles announced at the official daily press conference of each game that Ratliff will be back!

Not only players will hold grudges, but coaches will hold grudges too!

But Pat Riley, who heard that Ratliff is coming back, is very happy. He is more looking forward to the Eagles than the Eagles.

...

...

To come and not to be indecent, this sentence was not a derogatory term at the beginning, but it was really used to entertain guests.

The last time the Eagles went to Miami to play a game, Mourning took his teammates and entertained the Eagles players to have a party. This time, Raheem, the boss of the Eagles, also held a party and invited the Heat players. them.

However, Raheem is not as extreme as Mourning. What gay restaurant is he looking for? He treats guests at his own home. He invited the most famous restaurant in Atlanta, Dolce-Italian, which is the head chef of the Italian Dolce restaurant. Alan Ingill, the head chef of a Michelin-starred restaurant with a fork, invited the most famous Italian chef in Atlanta to be the head chef.

Of course, out of respect for Mourning, there was no wine at the party this time, and Liu Mang also went.

Liu Mang is gradually getting used to the previous parties of this kind of players. The main thing is to get together with friends and opponents in the league that he doesn’t see a few times a year. Maybe they have a good relationship, maybe they don’t. It's all part of NBA social.
