Chapter 465 463. Beheading Competition! (Seeking Subscription)

It's really choking! Will the Hawks' starter be suppressed by the 76ers' starter from the offensive end? This was unimaginable before this season!

Iverson is not alone in playing? It can't be said that his ball possession rate this year has reached a career high, 39%, that is, when he is on the court, 39% of the time, the offensive end of the 76ers is in his hands. But the effect has never been better, and the offense has never been better.

It's a pity that the 76ers' defensive end is not as strong as before. The guard is not bad. Iverson is still at the peak of his physiology. His excellent rushing ability and confrontation will not hinder him. Snow is in his best defensive year. , The two's first defense against Jason Terry and Prince's running, breakthrough, and shooting restrictions were good.

On the inside, Raheem went crazy, scoring 14 points on 5-of-5 shooting, which made Van Horn doubt his life.

Fortunately, their offensive performance was beyond the expectations of the Eagles. Iverson found a suitable balance between shooting and passing. After playing for more than half of this season, the new style of play he and his teammates I'm used to it. On the offensive end, the 76ers played very well today. Halfway through the first quarter, the two teams scored a high score. Raheem of the Eagles hit every shot, and they were still two points behind 17-19.

However, the 76ers attacked first, and the two teams played equally well.

Liu Mang saw that Coach Kruger's call for a timeout turned into an official timeout, and he was ready to play.

Coach Kruger saw the 76ers' style of play and had a little bit of a strange idea. Is that guy Iverson? That little giant out of Georgetown?

The Georgetown University basketball team is rich in insiders. Iverson is the rare point guard core of the Georgetown University basketball team. When he entered the NBA, his first nickname was Little Giant. This nickname is not Yao Ming’s nickname in the United States. The United States is called the Great Wall of China, the Great Wall of China, big-yao, and the year when he reached the second round, which is the final peak, O'Neill took the last nickname "The Last Monster".

its not right! Is this still Iverson? Holding the ball for a long time, this looks like it, but after half a quarter, he only took 3 shots, which is not like it at all! Iverson averaged 28 shots per game last season! And it is often a dozen or so shots in the first quarter.

"Ace, come here..." Coach Kruger called Liu Mang over, rarely 'interfering' with Liu Mang's upcoming performance.

Coach Kruger whispered a few words to Liu Mang, Liu Mang looked at Coach Kruger with a look of astonishment, hey, the coach has failed!

...

After the timeout, Coach Kruger sent Liu Mang, Jason Terry, Prince, Boozer, and Muhammad.

Raheem chiseled half a knot and went down to rest.

The 76ers are prepared for the Hawks' lineup without a center, using Iverson, Aaron McGee, cuts from the Spurs trade and above-average three-pointers in the first round of the season No. 24 Rookie John Samuels, Kenny Thomas who got a contract year from the Rockets, and a short center signed by the 76ers with a three-year, 12 million contract after the rookie contract with the Clippers expired last summer Brian Skinner.

Liu Wei saw the lineup of the 76ers. Sure enough, the 76ers this season have changed a lot from last season. They are no longer a lineup that can only defend with lameness before, and they have begun to move towards offense.

After receiving Boozer's serve, Liu Mang advanced to the frontcourt. During the advance, he exchanged glances with Boozer next to him. Boozer responded with a frown, expressing that he did not forget the coach's arrangement during the timeout.

Liu Mang advanced beyond the three-point line, and Iverson defended. Iverson's defense was very good when he was young. The top ten regulars in the best defensive player vote. Of course, it was when Mutombo wiped his ass. The defensive level he can show, but his overall defensive ability was really good when he was young.

Iverson's defense is full of impact, and he used his body to fight against Liu Mang.

If it was Liu Mang last season, he would be at a disadvantage in the confrontation with Iverson. Iverson became the No. 1 pick in 1996, not simply because of breakthroughs. His confrontation, core strength...that is, physical fitness, Definitely one of the best in that class.

But this year is completely different. Liu Mang is not afraid of Iverson's excellent confrontation at the point guard position.

but!

Liu Mang thought of Coach Kruger's "little tricks" and did not fight back against Iverson's strong physical confrontation. Instead, he pretended to be invincible like last season, took a step back, and pulled away from the three-point line by one meter. distance.

Iverson immediately backed away, so far away from the three-point line, even if the opponent was Liu Mang, known as the future three-point king, Iverson was not worried that the opponent would dare to shoot.

At this time, according to the tactics, Boozer came up to pick and roll for Liu Mang. Iverson was very wary of Liu Mang and Boozer's pick and roll. The level of the mighty No. 9 pick, if not for the low playing time, Boozer could really have the same stats as those two, because in the second grade, the stats of the three were really half a catty, Boozer He is also the only one of the three to average double figures in rebounds per game.

Boozer came up to pick and roll with Liu Mang, Iverson was very anxious, they probably couldn't guard against this!

Iverson played the highest offensive efficiency of his career this season, and the team's offensive efficiency has reached a new high since Iverson joined, but the defense is what he is very dissatisfied with. After all, he has been the league's first defensive season. After only two years, it has slipped to the average level.

However, just when Iverson was anxious that he and Kenny Thomas were basically 100% unable to defend against Liu Mang and Boozer's pick-and-roll, Liu Mang beckoned Boozer to go away: "Get out of the way, Carlos, I didn't see Is it time for me to fight Allen one-on-one?"

"Ah...?" Seeing this scene, Iverson was anxious, his eyes widened, and he couldn't help but let out a cry of surprise.

The tactics of basketball are the tactics of deceiving. At the same time, deceiving in basketball does not necessarily have to be deceiving in the way of play. Deceiving with language and deceiving actions are also "tactics" of basketball. You cannot believe anything your opponent says.

Boozer's acting skills exploded. Watching Liu Mang's actions and listening to what Liu Mang said, he immediately glanced at the head coach on the sidelines with a blank expression. Coach Kruger also had a solemn expression on the scene.

Seeing Boozer walking away lonely, seeing Liu Mang's provocative expression and strong fighting spirit, Iverson felt a string in his heart.

All the Eagles pull out!

Boozer has a mid-range shot, Jason Terry and Prince are three-pointers, Muhammad is crowded under the basket, and there are only Liu Mang and Iverson within a three-meter radius near the top arc.

This is to single out!

The play is enough, this singles, Liu Mang played very hard.

Liu Mang continuously dribbled the ball under his crotch, trying to provoke Iverson's desire to steal. However, Iverson is considered to be the key to the decline in defense this year, which is that his rushing has decreased, mainly because there is no barrier inside. He began to realize I can't rush and steal casually, and the steals have dropped to a career low of 1.9, but the advantage is that fouls have also risen to a career low of 2.9.

Seeing Iverson calmly guarding a reasonable position, it is really not easy for Liu Mang to break through. Although Liu Mang is not afraid of Iverson's strength to resist, it is not so easy for Liu Mang to break through.

then……

Liu Mang suddenly picked up the ball and pulled it straight away!

Quite an unexpected choice, Liu Mang used the Maddie-style dry pull!

The attack selection is unique, and the shooting selection is even more unique! Iverson didn't expect it at all. When he pounced, Liu Mang had already made the shot.

"The king of dry drawing triggers at level 5, ignoring shooting interference."

Liu Mang's shot was completely undisturbed by Iverson, and the three-pointer from the top arc was hollow!

After Liu Mang made the shot, he quickly retreated and blew his gun finger at Iverson.

Iverson was sullen and didn't respond. He retreated to the inside and received Skinner's serve and quickly advanced. The lineup of the 76ers advanced very fast. Liu Mang immediately pushed up Iverson when Iverson passed halftime.

"Is the scoring champion coming, Kom Ang, I can't wait to defend the scoring champion." Liu Mang used words to stimulate the strongest scorer since Jordan retired who won the scoring champion three times in the past four years.

But Iverson ignored Liu Mang and suddenly threw the ball out. Kenny Thomas, who had just entered the middle distance, quickly rushed into the three-second zone to receive the ball. This pass and a sudden cut caught the Eagles by surprise. , Muhammad and Boozer immediately double-teamed, and Kenny Thomas immediately gave the other side to Skinner, who was stepping on the edge of the three-second zone. Skinner scored two points with a close-range jumper.

"Huh……"

Seeing Iverson running back to defend quickly, Liu Mang had no chance to counter attack and slowly walked back to the basket to receive the serve. He was very surprised. Did Iverson have no psychological fluctuations in his provocation just now?

impossible!

This is really strange!

no! The strategy has already started, and it cannot be stopped. In order to save energy for playing back-to-back against the Nets tomorrow, the Eagles will play against the relatively weaker 76ers. They don't want to spend too much effort. The best way is to make Iverson wave.

The revolution has not yet worked hard... No, the revolution has not yet succeeded, and Liu Mang must continue to work hard after advancing to the front.

Liu Reck looked at Iverson who was still in such a stable defensive position, and felt that his three views were a bit distorted. With today's style of play, Liu Reck felt as if he and Iverson had switched. Iverson became relatively reasonable and played by himself. Have to go out of the sky.

Liu Mang still opened the singles, dribbling the ball, suddenly slapped the ball heavily with his right hand, and then jumped down lightly.

Iverson was pulled out by Liu Mang just now, and now his nerves are tense. Seeing Liu Mang suddenly slam the ball as hard as before and jumped up, he rushed forward.

However, Liu Mang landed quickly, and after the ball bounced quickly, Liu Mang jumped up from the right side of Iverson who jumped up, caught the bounced ball with his left hand, took another shot, and rushed into the inside line all at once!

Iverson immediately rushed to catch up, and his speed soared to break through 100. The biggest feature of Iverson's defense is that he can catch up with his speed after stealing and losing his position. If Mutombo or Ratliff is still in the 76ers When playing, they can often form a perfect double-team for the opponent, and at the same time Mutombo and Ratliff can also cover the inside line behind them.

Skinner's defensive awareness was good, and he mentioned a step outside the reasonable collision zone to flank Liu Mang with Iverson. The double-teaming between the two was very timely, but Iverson sighed silently in his heart. Skinner and Mu Tombo and Ratliff are too far behind. The obstacle is that it hinders Liu Mang's breakthrough, but he has no ability to block the pass inside when he occupies the high altitude. At this time, as long as Liu Mang lobs the ball, Muhammad can directly empty link.

But... Liu Mang once again exceeded Iverson's expectations. Liu Mang couldn't change the rhythm of the footsteps under the situation of the two attacking back and forth, but he ignored the risk of mistakes and forced the ball to Skinner's crotch. With one shot, relying on turning around and controlling the ball, he turned around and entered the basket to receive the ball, and made a layup with Muhammad's stunned expression.

Muhammad's expression was quite real, because he was not the one who wanted to act, so he began to think about what pose he would pose after this lob, but he didn't expect Liu Mang to do such a trick.

Fortunately, the 76ers' inside line is really average now. Skinner is an ordinary substitute inside line with an ability value of 67 and three to four million. Features A short center with physical fitness and close-range shooting ability. It is so simple to get a big contract for the center position. As long as the shooting is accurate, no team will want it.

Iverson endured another round and came to organize the offense, but unfortunately, this time the pass was sent to Aaron McGee. Aaron McGee made a three-point shot like a 3-pointer. After Liu Mang advanced, he continued to ignore his teammates in singles , This time I also used Iverson's best mid-range emergency stop jumper, and I was lucky enough to make it, scoring 7 points in a row.

One thing, can be one, can be two, but at the third time, Iverson finally couldn't help it!

Iverson felt Liu Mang's strong "fighting will". Iverson is not a person who is so patient and can hold back impulsiveness. This year, his style of play gradually stabilized and became a relatively reasonable style of play. , but it took a month or two to get used to it, and it officially became a regular style of play in January, and it was only 40 games at full count. Be patient to the point of holding back the impulse.

Iverson advanced very slowly this time, as slow as last season, pressing the rhythm to advance to the frontcourt.

Liu Mang saw that Iverson's expression changed, and he became that bloodthirsty score maniac... mainly because the system prompt came...

"Talent skill: Unyielding and arrogant level 3 trigger, from Allen Iverson, the overall offensive ability value +3, defensive ability value +3, the state will not be affected by physical fitness until the physical energy is completely exhausted."

"Pay attention to prevent Iverson from passing the ball!" Liu Mang yelled at his teammates and gestured at the same time.

When Boozer heard the hint, he was shocked, and finally it was coming!

Muhammad looked at Liu Mang's yelling words which were completely different from the gestures he made, and was a little confused, but since he gestured deliberately, let's follow the gestures! The little rascal is cheating again!

Iverson was a little angry when he heard Liu Mang's roar. This kid, really thinks he can only pass the ball?

Fuck him! Let him revisit what fear is!

After Liu Mang came up, Iverson bent down for the first time and took a step with his right foot, leaving a small gap between his legs. Iverson dribbled the ball back and forth with his arms stretched high. Sen's crotch is estimated to be only 25 to 6 centimeters, which is only one or two centimeters larger than the diameter of a basketball, but under the fingertips of Iverson, the ball bounced back and forth between Iverson's legs, and he didn't touch it. leg.

The same is the level 5 ball control master. Liu Mang thinks he can't do this. This is a problem with the ball sense. Iverson's ball sense is too strong!

Strategies are all strategies, whether Liu Mang is playing singles or defending Iverson, he will go all out!

Suddenly, Iverson retracted his right foot, took a step to the left with his left foot, and quickly slapped the ball with his right hand at the same time, and the ball bounced to Iverson's left hand.

Liu Mang subconsciously wants to defend to the left, because if Iverson's current action is frozen, it looks like a change of direction with his left foot stepping out and his left hand receiving the ball with a large movement to the right.

but!

Liu Mang hesitated, completely unpredictable!

Iverson is really going to change direction? Or is it just a feint?

The moment Liu Mang hesitated, Iverson broke through directly to the right! The windy Iverson's first step, the explosive speed of 102 was like an afterimage from Liu Mang's side, and there was no time to react!

It's that simple and straightforward, as long as Iverson catches a little flaw in the opponent, he can directly pass the opponent. This is Iverson who relied on his own strength to support the 76ers to score in the MVP season!

Iverson rushed inside, wanting to teach this nasty boy a good lesson by scoring. He is very confident. His continuous passing before must have made the opponent dare not let his defender go too far. Liu Mang also yelled just now. Teammates go to guard their own, so Iverson is going to rush into the paint for a signature step layup...

but……

The short Iverson lowered his head and rushed wildly. After rushing to the right edge of the three-second zone, two bandit-like men came up and sandwiched him!

And Liu Mang behind him also caught up!

Iverson was double-teamed and caught off guard! Restricted by his height, he was flanked on three sides and couldn't pass the ball at all, so he had to force a throw!

"Hot Pot Feast Level 3 Trigger..."

Liu Mang's hot pot feast trick is rare to be triggered once. This shot has increased to 80 shot blocking ability. Liu Mang didn't jump much, and directly caught the ball thrown by Iverson!

Fight back!

Liu Mang rushed directly to the opponent's basket, and the frustrated Iverson followed Liu Mang and rushed behind him, and he really caught up with Liu Mang. Two years of chasing and defending Fisher was just as futile. Liu Mang leaned on Iverson and rushed to the 76ers' basket to score two points with one hand.

In this scene, Iverson resounded the humiliation of being dunked by "Peak Fisher" in the finals of that year.

This time, Iverson couldn't take it anymore!

"Ding...Unyielding Pride triggers at level 5, Iverson's ability value +5, characteristic: Lone wolf triggers..."

finally! coming! Liu Mang gestured to Prince and Jason Terry to double-team!

...

...

Sometimes, some small tricks of the NBA team, if the fans know about it, will definitely attract a lot of criticism, but think about it, isn't this the NBA, with a total of 82 regular season games a year, if you want to To get the record you want, unless you have the Bulls with the most peak Jordan, and the other two giants Pippen and Rodman, as well as the sharp pitcher Steve Kerr, the support master and the three-point master Cuco Odd, the giant Luke Longley, the former best defensive player Ron Harper... Wait for a bunch of bulls with great players, or like the Cosmos, two top three superstars in the league plus the best defense Players, the most explosive scoring in a single quarter, the second best three-pointer in the league, the only backup championship MVP in history, and a team with several role players.

Otherwise, if you want to get a good enough record, you need to have a lot of ways in the middle of the season, especially for the Eagles now, the goal is only to keep a team with a 50% winning percentage. Efforts suddenly collapsed, and the momentum blew out.

This year's 76ers and any strong team have a feeling of 50-50. Iverson's scoring ability is very strong. If he insists on competing with Tracy McGrady for the scoring title, it is not too difficult. With an average of 7.5 assists per game, he has found a relatively balanced style of play, which is really difficult to defend. If it weren't for the 76ers' defensive decline, it was mainly due to the departure of Mutombo and other defensive champions. The 76ers If there is still the lineup of the 00-01 season, and Larry Brown agrees with this style of play, if the defense is still so strong, the 76ers will definitely not be worse than the Pistons.

Are the Pistons really better than the 76ers in the 2000-01 season? Not necessarily, the strongest OK combination that year, it is estimated that they can be regarded as opponents, only the 96 Bulls.

But there are no ifs. Although Iverson was still in his prime, the group of teammates who dominated the Eastern Conference at that time left and left, old and old, unable to confirm the hypothesis that seemed very exciting.

So the strength of the 76ers this year can only be said to be okay, not to the point where the Eagles are afraid...Of course, if the Eagles have the same record as last season, they can have no fear of the strength of their opponents, and it doesn't matter if they lose a game or two .

The main reason is that Iverson's scoring and passing have reached a certain balance, so that the 76ers' offense is very strong, and they are in the upper reaches of the league. Since Iverson is the starting point, Iverson's physical fitness is terrifying. From the beginning to the end, it is really impressive Probably lost.

And today the 76ers are really in good shape. They played very well at the beginning of the first quarter. The Eagles have to fight hard. It is estimated that the two teams will be very anxious until the last moment. Iverson really played well.

This is not in line with the Eagles' strategy. They still want to win the game against the Nets tomorrow, so coach Kruger thought of this way to stimulate Iverson's desire to score.

The effect is proper. From the second half of the first quarter, Iverson was stimulated step by step by Liu Mang to the point where he couldn't help but to shoot. After being double-teamed by three people and then being capped by Liu Mang and dunked, Iverson completely entered the previous berserk. model.

Liu Mang knows how strong Iverson is in pure scoring mode, and also knows how independent Iverson is in pure scoring mode, so he started to double-team Iverson frantically.

In the second half of the first quarter and the first half of the second quarter, Iverson played like crazy. Although he also caused fouls and scored goals, the team play of the 76ers at the beginning of the game was completely stagnant, and he returned to the first few games. In the season, Iverson swung alone and others watched.

The key point is that the 76ers no longer have the defense of the past two years! The point difference was opened by the Eagles in one fell swoop!

After halftime, the Eagles led the 76ers 55 to 40 by 15 points!

Iverson got 4 assists in the first half of the first quarter, but after halftime, only 5 assists! Although he also scored 19 points, it is clear that Iverson, who has lost his defensive system, is not enough for the 76ers to win!

...

Any deceitful trick will eventually be seen through, like basketball tactics, any tactic will eventually be seen through, of course, whether it can be dealt with is another question.

This kind of tactics in terms of tactics, after the opponent has been tricked, calm down, it is easy to see that he has been tricked, but often when it is discovered, the result of the matter has already come out.

Just like now, Iverson watched the halftime score, watched the Eagles go back to the locker room talking and laughing, and suddenly woke up!

When there was a break of nearly 20 minutes at the halftime break, Iverson did not leave the court immediately because of his anger. When he returned to the locker room, he had to quarrel with Larry Brown again. Iverson wanted to be alone Calm down, I happened to see the picture of Liu Mang and Boozer talking and laughing. I recalled the scene of Liu Mang yelling at Boozer more than half an hour ago, and Boozer dared not speak out. Iverson understood , I fell for it!

That nasty boy! I was cheated by that kid!

The number of contacts between Iverson and Liu Mang is not too small. There is also a lot of attention to this rising star of the point guard position. The relationship between the two is also good, so I know that Liu Mang is a person who keeps tricks. At first, Liu Mang’s strength When it doesn't work, many games rely on small tricks to deal with opponents.

And after growing up, these little tricks have never stopped!

After Iverson played against each other for the first time last season, he was careful not to be fooled by Liu Mang's tricks. At that time, the 76ers were no longer as strong as the Eagles, so there was no chance for Liu Mang to use his tricks. Liu Mang wanted to use them. No chance, Iverson was very afraid.

Iverson's heart was a little broken: "I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it, but I finally fell into this kid's trick!"

Iverson walked towards the player tunnel with a wry smile, what else can I do? Own character! Iverson was helpless, and he suffered from his own character again!

Iverson is 15 points behind. Iverson knows the strength gap between his team and the Hawks. Although his record is better than the Hawks, the Hawks may not be able to catch up with his team's record after the season, but the gap in strength between the two teams is indeed obvious. , If you play as hard as you did at the beginning, it's not that you don't have a chance to last until the end. Iverson has enough confidence in his ability to fight key shots until the end.

But the point difference has been opened, and it is difficult to recover it...!

But!

When he returned to the locker room and was about to open the door, Iverson was still very upset and unconvinced!

Ace the bloody little rascal!

No matter who he loses to, Iverson doesn't want to lose to Liu Mang!

However, this kind of dissatisfaction is different from the rivalry between Iverson and Kobe. Iverson and Liu Mang still have a good relationship, but because of this, Iverson is even more unwilling to admit defeat.

He didn't want to become friends with Liu Mang as a weak person!

Back in the locker room, Larry Brown really sprayed directly, but this time Iverson didn't refute, his mind was full of thinking about how to chase points!

It was the first time for Larry Brown to see Iverson like this. Since no one scolded him, Larry Brown actually felt a little weird. Man, he is just a bit cheap... Cursing, Larry -Brown stopped and looked at Iverson who was weird today. Although Iverson's change in style of play this year has made him feel weird, today is even weirder!

Speaking of Li, although Larry Brown recognized the change in Iverson's style of play, he didn't like coaching such a team. He wanted to defend more, and defense was everything in his mind.

After Larry Brown finished spraying, Iverson only said one sentence: "Coach, I want to win! Just today, I want to win!"

Larry Brown was surprised and fell silent.

Larry Brown suddenly felt that he was not suitable for Iverson. Unlike before, no matter how bad the relationship between the two was, the two were the most suitable mentor and apprentice after all, and they played the glory that belonged to them.

But in Iverson's current style of play, although Larry Brown can coach, he can't play his best because he is not good at it.

But... For top coaches, it is natural to know all kinds of tactics, but they are not proficient. Larry Brown can play offensively. When he coached the Spurs, he averaged almost 110 points per game, but he was not used to playing.

15 points behind? Larry Brown was about to give up. His team had to chase 15 points. Larry Brown was infected by Iverson and wanted to make a move!

...

...

Iverson understood that his aggressive mentality was being used!

Unlike Tracy McGrady and Carter's lack of desire to win, Iverson's desire to win is too strong, so strong that it pervades everything. From winning games to personal statistics, Iverson is too strong. This is his strength and weakness.

Perhaps in life, Iverson is still so careless in making friends, but for the game, while maintaining his enthusiasm, he also began to use his head to plan his future.

Do you want to change it? Not necessarily, but a better balance needs to be found.

Back at halftime.

The Eagles sent Liu Mang, Jason Terry, Prince, Rahim, and Muhammad, ready to rush! Open the score in one fell swoop!

For the 76ers, Iverson, Aaron McGee, John Samuels, Van Horn, Coleman.

In the third quarter, the Eagles attacked first. After Liu Mang advanced, he handed the ball to Raheem, and gave Raheem a chisel first.

From the second quarter onwards, Liu Mang’s personal offense became less. Most of them were singles for Raheem or he broke through to score. , So it seems that Liu Mang played normally except for playing Iverson three times at the beginning, scoring 13 points and 3 assists in the half.

Van Horn was so tired, no matter how he played power forward, he still met this guy!

Shouldn't it be the little cool guy called Newbell who is facing himself?

Raheem ran over Van Horn again. Coleman saw that Raheem turned around to dunk, and backed away. On the offensive end, Coleman had to work hard. He could defend... If he could defend, he would not Karl Malone's successor entered the NBA, but he may retire before Malone.

Seeing Coleman dodging, Raheem chose to put the basket and scored two points.

Easy, 57 to 40, the Eagles lead by 17 points.

The offensive and defensive transition, the 76ers attacked, Iverson continued to break through with the ball, Raheem, Liu Mang, and Jason Terry double-teamed again! Just like when the three of them cooperated for the first time, they double-teamed Iverson in advance!

At this time, Iverson made a pass before the double team formed! Van Horn at a 45-degree angle received the ball and made a three-pointer!

It actually passed!

But Liu Mang didn't pay much attention here, maybe it was too early to double-team.

It was the Eagles offense again, and the 76ers began to shrink their defense. Although the defense of this lineup is indeed as bad as it is, it cannot always make people attack the basket so easily, so they simply shrunk. After Liu Mang and Raheem pick-and-roll , The two both cut into the inside, compressed the 76ers' defense to the inside and outside of the three-second zone, and then distributed it to Jason Terry. Jason Terry didn't make a shot this time, and Samuels protected the rebound.

The Eagles returned to the defense quickly, Iverson pushed forward, Liu Mang came up to defend, glanced behind him, saw the 76ers players running, Liu Mang was hesitant to double-team, but Iverson had already started to break through, Liu Mang pressed up quickly, because it was a double-team tactic, regardless of whether Iverson would change direction and pass him, he pressed up directly.

What made Liu Mang a little disturbed was that Iverson actually followed his body contact and went down the line. Raheem, who was on the left side of the three-second zone, came around from the basket to double-team, and Jason Terry also came from behind. He came up and wanted to break the ball from Iverson, but Iverson immediately sent the ball out. When Raheem went to pinch Iverson, Van Horn ran to the top arc!

After receiving a pass from Iverson, Van Horn made a three-pointer from the top arc!

Hit again!

Van Horn made two consecutive three-pointers!

11 points!

Only 11 points left!

The next two times the Eagles missed outside shots. When Iverson was attacking, the Eagles were hesitant to double-team and dare not come up. Iverson hit Liu Mang twice in a row and made both shots. One mid-range shot A step layup.

After the start of the third quarter, Iverson scored 4 points and 2 assists in a row, narrowing the point difference to 7 points!

The Eagles took advantage of Iverson's mentality, and now Iverson is starting to take advantage of the Eagles' mentality, changing from passive to active, and starting to chase points fiercely!

Of course, this kind of opportunity is only a short one or two minutes. Iverson fought hard in these two minutes. Using his impression of the opponent in the first half and the thinking inertia of the Eagles, he played a surprise game. Cut 10 points!

Sure enough, in just three minutes, the opponent chased from the most 17 points to 7 points. Liu Mang reacted. After the point difference was narrowed to 7 points by Iverson's breakthrough goal, Liu Mang remembered a big event!

When Iverson came up in the third quarter, Liu Mang didn't hear the system prompts about Iverson's innate skills, unyielding arrogance and lone wolf characteristics!

Careless!

Liu Mang came up in the third quarter to reap the game, he was too careless!

Liu Mang called a timeout to let his teammates concentrate, and the game was about to enter a fierce battle.

Sure enough, after the timeout, the two teams turned into an anxious confrontation. Iverson is really crazy. When he won the MVP two years ago, he was actually only 26 years old. He should be stronger at the age of 28 this year. At the peak, Kobe averaged 35 points per game, 81 points in a single game, and 62 points in three quarters at the age of 28. James shot a career-high 56% at the age of 28 and shot 27+8+7. With the same performance, this year should have been Iverson's strongest year.

It may be the 96 generation, it is so unfortunate, whether it is Kobe, Nash or Iverson, when the team is at its peak, either I have not yet reached the peak, or the peak has passed. Team peaks are staggered.

In the third quarter, Iverson once again demonstrated the ability to lead the team to play team offense at the beginning of the game, and the most special thing about Iverson is that he is very good at scoring. The Eagles' defense hesitated a little. For him, it is the best scoring opportunity.

After returning from the timeout, the Eagles paid more attention to the game, but they were unable to open the score again.

After three quarters, the 76ers are only 5 points behind the Eagles!

...

Just three minutes into the third quarter, coach Kruger on the sidelines began to smile wryly.

I didn't expect that! Take advantage of other people's weaknesses, but in the end they are used by others. In the end, you still have to rely on your strength to fight.

Coach Kruger felt that if he really wanted to play tricks and take shortcuts, it wouldn't work... Wait, why does that inconvenient disciple often work?

Sure enough, being shameless is the last word! Coach Kruger felt that he was really not suitable to be a shameless person, so he should honestly arrange normal tactics in the future, and leave this kind of thing to those who are good at it.

I have no choice but to fight! Who told the 76ers to feel good on the outside today? Van Horn made 6 three-pointers in three quarters, which is too fierce! It is indeed Liu Mang's previous rookie season three-pointer record holder!

In the first half of the fourth quarter, the two teams started a tug-of-war with a gap of about 5 points.

Iverson is Iverson, physical fitness is new, especially after he started to pay more attention to passing, he played more easily. The main thing is the lineup. Compared with last season, the 76ers' lineup this year will indeed play more smoothly on the offensive end , There are more three-pointers, the lineup is younger, and everything is good except for poor defense.

This kind of tug-of-war, for most players, is too late for physical fitness.

That's why players like Kobe, James, and Iverson will stand out at their peak, and they will play all kinds of data against the sky every two days.

In the second half of the fourth quarter, the game turned into a scoring confrontation between Iverson and Liu Mang. The others were too tired to help defend, and the effect of running positions was not great, so it simply became a two-person single.

Sometimes when watching the game, I see that the fourth quarter becomes a singles, and the core does not pass the ball. In fact, it is not that they don’t want to pass, but that the teammates really can’t shoot. It’s like averaging 25 shots per game, not just 25 shots. The basket is so simple, many superstars with strong scoring will never average 25 shots per game in a season in their lifetime, even when the team is poor, they don't. It's not that they don't want to shoot, but they don't have the physical strength!

After the second half of the fourth quarter, Liu Mang and Iverson started their good style of play. Iverson made a breakthrough layup, Liu Mang returned a three-pointer, and Iverson made a mid-range jumper 2+1 , Liu Mang used the footsteps of the essence of human peristalsis to swing the big man inside and suddenly stepped into the layup to score two points.

With less than two minutes left, the Eagles relied on the advantages accumulated in the first half to lead the 76ers by 4 points 102 to 98. The Eagles had the ball and called a timeout.

It’s the final stage. Raheem, who scored 28 points, 15 rebounds and 3 assists on 11 of 15 shots and 21 singles matches today, was extremely tired. Jason Terry In order to get rid of Snow's defensive movement, he was almost exhausted, only Liu Mang was still so passionate.

The tactical choice is very simple. Coach Kruger arranged tactics for Liu Mang, and it's time to end the game!

...

...

After the timeout, the Eagles sent Liu Mang, Jason Terry, Raheem, Boozer, and Ratliff.

The 76ers sent a starting lineup of Snow, Iverson, Van Horn, Coleman, and McCloch.

Raheem and Ratliff came up to grab rebounds in the interior. Although they were tired, their opponents were equally tired, so they still had a rebounding advantage. Jason Terry's role was to open up space.

Coaches' tactics are often complex and require a lot of movement.

Liu Mang pushed forward, saw Jason Terry and Raheem picking and rolling, and thought of Jason Terry's poor touch after being physically confronted by Aaron McGee and Snow in the second half, Liu Mang didn't wait for them to run. Yes, beckon Boozer to come over and pick and roll quickly.

Iverson watched Boozer come over, and the feeling of dread came again. The pick-and-roll between the two is really unsolvable for the 76ers! Especially Coleman is too lazy to stretch out his hand on the defensive end.

According to tactics and normal thinking, it is the best choice for Liu Mang to go inside and pursue the success rate, so Iverson still has a glimmer of hope, as long as Coleman can block Liu Mang, he can Follow up and double-team!

but!

Liu Mang bypassed Boozer's pick-and-roll and directly pulled up a three-pointer!

Liu Mang's sudden outside three-point shot plunged into the basket!

Boozer turned around and gave Liu Mang a high-five to celebrate, leading 105 to 98 by 7 points, with more than a minute left, very stable!

At this time, Iverson was the first to react and yelled at his teammates under the basket to serve quickly. Van Horn was so frightened that he quickly sent the ball out. Iverson quickly advanced after receiving the serve! Relying on his speed, Iverson set up a cavalry company to counterattack alone! Lonely cavalry, rushing to the front field alone! Liu Mang reacted very quickly, and immediately followed, but Iverson's breakout speed was too fast! Liu Mang can't catch up!

No one in the Eagles could keep up, and even Liu Mang couldn't keep up with Iverson's unrivaled speed of over 100 in the league at the last moment.

The fans also exclaimed!

Just when everyone thought Iverson was going to counterattack and dunk, Iverson actually stopped outside the three-point line!

This scene is so familiar to Eagles fans! Their double waves in the backcourt do this every three days!

Could it be...?

Everyone was surprised, but just as everyone was surprised, Iverson chased and shot a three-pointer!

Iverson wants to grab time, he wants to do one, 7 points behind, no chance if he doesn't shoot a three-pointer!

However, three-pointers are the biggest weakness in Iverson's technology! This time, the three-pointer shot in an attempt to save the team's defeat was solid!

Liu Mang was very glad that he rushed up with him. After Iverson made a shot, Liu Mang rushed to the inside, grabbed the rebound from Iverson and pushed it over.

With 1 minute and 37 seconds left in the clock, the Eagles led by 7 points.

Liu Mang felt that it was time to end the game!

Just this one ball, the remaining one, now!

Except for Liu Mang and Iverson, the players of the two teams were still in the 76ers half court. Liu Mang pushed forward and slowly dribbled the ball more than one meter away from the three-point line. Time wasted. at last.

The more Iverson waited, the more impatient he became, and the more he waited, the more anxious he became. This despicable and shameless brat actually took more time!

Iverson saw Liu Mang, who was still standing still with only 8 seconds left in the Eagles' attack time, couldn't help it, and rushed towards Liu Mang to steal it!

Liu Mang was waiting for this opportunity! A sideways change to avoid Iverson, Iverson is completely out of position! Liu Mang rushed beyond the three-point line, stopped and shot!

The perfect pull-up opportunity, Liu Mang’s dribbling adjustment has also been adjusted for a long time, the king of the pull-up is triggered at level 5, the shooting deviation correction brought by the pull-up, the sharpshooter is triggered at level 5, and this time the ability to shoot three-pointers exceeds 90!

The moment Liu Mang shot, he immediately turned around, flicked his hands towards Iverson and curled his lips, showing a helpless expression.

Iverson and the fans were dumbfounded. Did Liu Mang celebrate his three-pointer?

But when Liu Mang turned around and made this move, the ball just reached the highest point and began to drop!

Where did this confidence come from?

At this moment, when Liu Mang turned around and made a few tenths of a second, even Eagles fans felt that Liu Mang was too arrogant! At this moment, Iverson also felt that Liu Mang was really arrogant enough.

However, a few tenths of a second later, the ball thrown by Liu Mang went hollow into the basket! ,

Liu Mang didn't even look back, and ran directly towards his home...

Iverson was stunned, where the hell did this confidence come from!

The scene was completely silent for a while. From the fans to the staff to the cheerleaders to the players of the two teams, everyone was stunned. Then, the Eagles players roared wildly and chased after Liu Mang. The fans also started to cheer!

How to fight this! Iverson saw Liu Mang's two three-pointers, how to play this!

1 minute and 16 seconds left, 10 points behind!

10 points is fine, there are still 76 seconds, which is still enough in theory, but Liu Mang's celebration after he made a three-pointer just now, the other players of the 76ers are desperate!

...

...

After Liu Mang made two three-pointers in the game, although Iverson knew in his heart that he couldn't win, he still wanted to try. What if the hell happened? So come over and throw it, he doesn't care if the hit rate that returned to 40% in the second half of today will get worse, he has to throw it for a second.

But unfortunately, in the end Iverson hit all two three-pointers, and it was useless.

This made Iverson learn from the pain, until one day he was older, his speed would no longer be so fast, his jumping would no longer be so good, and he was determined to practice COSCO shooting well.

Iverson was angered by Liu Mang!

A person wants to change, sometimes it is so simple, just because of a little thing, there is a great change.

In the end, relying on Liu Mang standing up and scoring two consecutive three-pointers, the Eagles ended the game with a 14-point lead of 112 to 98. They did not let the 76ers come back and won five consecutive victories!

But Coach Kruger's heart felt cold after winning. The original plan was completely useless, and his physical strength was still exhausted. Seeing that Liu Mang was surrounded by reporters, he was still so strong, but only Liu Mang had strength. Others The four starters all look half-dead. Coach Kruger feels that tomorrow's game will be cold...

After the game, everyone believed that the Eagles made Iverson return to the style of play of the past few years in the first half, which was Liu Mang's trick!

"Ace, your strategy in the first half was great, but Iverson seemed to react in the second half and caught you off guard again. You were almost overturned. Ace, do you think your strategy in the first half is necessary? ?”

This question smells like gunpowder! It seems to be saying that Liu Mang is doing useless work!

Liu Mang looked at it, this reporter... came from Philadelphia, no wonder.

In fact, this problem is already considered very harmonious. Liu Mang and Iverson have a good relationship. It was obvious at the All-Star Weekend last year. Iverson gave up the MVP to Liu Mang. The relationship between the Eagles and the 76ers is also good. When Iverson was so stimulated that he almost went back to the "old way", the Philadelphia reporter was still very upset. Fortunately, Iverson came to his senses in the second half.

The tone is harmonious and harmonious, but when he heard the reporter's question, Liu Mang was very angry! It seems that this reporter used a, which refers to a specific person, that is, "you", instead of referring to the entire Eagles team, specifically referring to Liu Mang.

This is not my strategy! This kind of stupid strategy that will definitely be discovered by the opponent, how could it be possible for the young master to think of it!

Good and evil will be rewarded in the end... Who is the heaven bypassing!

It's not that they didn't report, it's just that the time hasn't come yet, finally, it's Liu Mang's turn to take the blame!

However, it was quite interesting, Liu Mang got angry and couldn't help laughing, under the puzzled eyes of the media, Liu Mang said: "You are very reasonable, but won't it be right if you can win? My words are finished, do you agree or disagree?"

The next chapter is estimated to be eight or nine o'clock in the evening, and I feel very weak. I have to have a meeting in the morning, and I may feel sleepy in the afternoon.
