Iverson is 183 cm tall, the shortest champion in NBA history, Iverson standing on the basketball court has skillful ball control and super offensive firepower, although the height is not enough, but he can always find space to break through in the gap of the crowd, no one can guard against Iverson, although Iverson also has a lot of off-court troubles, but the facts seem that he can still concentrate on standing on the basketball court and play without interference, Iverson in high school and even college, All of them are talented basketball players in the United States, and the only one who can match Iverson in honor is the talented big center Marcus Camby at the University of Massachusetts, and this time, the 76ers did not hesitate at all, and they firmly chose Allen Iverson with the top pick of the year.

In the 1996-1997 season, the team did not usher in the long-awaited glory, but exposed a lot of problems, first of all, the lack of personnel framework structure, except for Iverson, Stackhouse and Witherspoon, no one seems to be in the team's future plans, which makes other players honestly afraid, for fear that they will accidentally become the team's guilt black pot, secondly, is the problem of the style and efficiency of the two outside cores, Iverson averaged 23.5 points per game this season, and Stackhouse averaged 20.7 points per game, both of which are super firepower combinations on paper, but in fact, Iverson shot 41.6% from the field, Stackhouse shot 40.7%, and even more tragic is the three-point shot, these two people account for a total of 70% of the team's three-point shooting rate, but the shooting rate is only more than 30%, which is not counting, Coleman on the inside averaged 18.1 points per game while paying 43.5% , and with a 26.9% three-point shooting rate, he averaged 2.1 three-pointers per game, and the team looked like only Witherspoon was the only player who played a normal performance, but the key is that he only averaged 12.2 points per game, played 36 minutes per game but only took less than 10 shots, and his 27.5% shooting ratio was only higher than that of the bench Scott Williams in the team, which can almost be said to be Witherspoon's highest shooting percentage on the team, but got the fewest shots on the team......

Iverson's first season with the 76ers was an extremely sad season, to what extent? As long as the data written on the technical sheet, the 76ers are all below their opponents, including points per game, shooting percentage, three-point shooting percentage, free throw shooting percentage, shooting per game, goals per game, total rebounds per game, total assists per game, steals, blocks, and even the total number of fouls per game, yes you read that right, I didn't write it wrong, these statistics are all lower than their opponents who come to face them every night, oh yes, there is one statistic that the 76ers have more than their opponents, and that is the average number of turnovers per game......

The 76ers won just 22 games that season, so how bad was that? Now younger fans may have no concept, let's put it this way, the 2013-2014 season 76ers only achieved a pitiful 19 games of victory throughout the season, including a wave of 21 consecutive defeats that set a new team record, that is really a complete loss, the face is gone, that season as the opponent of the 76ers, its data is also a comprehensive crushing of the 76ers, but the average number of steals per game 76 people is higher than the opponent, no matter how bad, the average number of fouls per game is also for the opponent, these two data show that the team is still fighting, But this season's 76ers ......

In May 1997, veteran coach Larry Brown became the team's head coach, and soon after taking office, in the face of the 76ers' hot potato, Brown began a drastic reform, first of all, the team's rookie selection of Gise Van Horn and three role players were traded to the New Jersey Nets in exchange for Jim Jackson, Eric Montrose and two first-round rookies Tim Thomas and Anthony Parker, the deal proved to be beneficial to the 76ers, and the 1997-1998 season just began, Iverson and Stackhouse both made it clear that they wanted to increase their shots, and the battle for power became clearer, and the team learned from the pain to avoid civil unrest, and after only 22 games of the season, they quickly sent Stackhouse away to catch Eric Montrose, and traded blocking maniacs Theo Ratliff and Aaron McGee from Detroit in exchange for blocking maniacs.

Ratliffe is 206 cm tall, is a strong defensive interior lineman, not much on the offensive end but is a big gate on the defensive end, and has strong personal blocking ability, while Aaron McGee is a native of Philadelphia, he also enjoys the atmosphere of playing in his hometown team, and in the years since, McGee has become an indispensable force on the 76ers' bench, and the 76ers' players go around and around, and in the end, only McGee is the last one in this group of players to leave the 76ers, Players who left Iverson. The team's reinforcements weren't over yet, and before the trade deadline ended, the 76ers made another big move, trading Jim Jackson and Clarence Witherspoon for 1995 pick Joe Smith and guard Brian Shaw.

The 76ers have been brought back to life by continuous operation, and they have 33 wins this season, although only 9 more than last season, but their changes are obvious to all, the players are no longer lazy in the game, but fight for every ball, often fighting for the blood, the biggest change is Iverson, the old coach Larry Brown treats the young Iverson as his own, as if he is teaching his own son, he has put infinite effort into it, he taught Iverson to maintain a strong heart in the face of adversity, Teach Iverson not to give up before the game is over, teach Iverson how to transform from a super scorer to a qualified team leader, Iverson is young and frivolous, empty-eyed, even if he doesn't care about greatness like Jordan on the basketball court, but Iverson has a soft heart under the strong appearance, this is the gentle Brown who opened the long-closed window in Iverson's heart.

The atmosphere of the team has been renewed, the attendance of the 76ers' home stadium of the Wachovia Center has also begun to increase significantly, the ball market has changed greatly, the enthusiasm of the fans has been mobilized, and the construction of the team has begun to get on the right track.

In 1998, the NBA was shut down due to collective bargaining agreements, and only played 50 games in the whole season, and the 76ers swept away 28 victories! Finished sixth in the East and made the playoffs! After six years, the win rate is finally back to 50%! Team leader Allen Iverson is naturally the leader of the team, He averaged 26.8 points, 4.9 rebounds and 4.6 assists per game, crowned the scoring champion for the first time in his career, and Matt Geiger, a big center introduced from the Hornets, played the most dazzling performance of his career, averaging 13.5 points and 7.2 rebounds per game, speaking of this Geiger, there is also a joke, Geiger is bald, fierce-looking, and plays roughly, and his entire career as a role insider, his performance can be said to be very qualified, and the most face-revealing thing in his life is in the preseason of the 1995 season, when he slapped O'Neal's thumb off when defending O'Neal, for which O'Neill had to miss the game for two whole months, after that, O'Neal faced Geiger, the performance must have been a big failure, there is a shadow in his heart, Geiger is also known as "the only player on the planet who makes O'Neill smell and change".

In addition to Iverson and Geiger, the team's other interior lineman, Theo Ratliff, is also doing very well. can average 11.2 points, 8.1 rebounds and 3.0 blocks per game, the No. 8 rookie Larry Hughes selected by the 76ers in 1998 averaged 9.1 points, 3.8 rebounds and 1.5 assists per game, which is acceptable, and Eric Snow, a point guard introduced from the SuperSonics, can take 8.6 points and 6.3 assists every night, Snow is a player with limited talent, and will not shoot three-pointers, he will only shoot a three-pointer once in three games, and scoring a three-pointer requires enough character to save ten games, but his defense is good, his passing awareness is good, and he has a certain ability to play alone with his back. In addition, there is a player named Dillon Hill on the roster, who previously played for the Cavaliers and was selected as an All-Star in 1995. But his data at the time was only 13.8 points and 10.9 rebounds, known as one of the most watery All-Stars in history, in terms of playing style, Hill and Barkley are almost the same, both pouting and arching inside, but compared to Barkley, Hill's talent is far worse, first of all, Hill's ass is not as big as Barkley, not as strong as Barkley, not as sexy as Barkley, and not as strong as Barkley, technically it is even worse, he averaged 8.5 points and 7.3 rebounds per game this season, George Lynch, is also a mediocre player, defensive ability is better than offensive ability, but he is helpless to meet superstars, The three-point shooting ability on the offensive end is exactly twice that of Snow, Lynch shoots a three-pointer every two games, and then saves five games of character, one hit, Lynch can also average 8.3 points and 6.5 rebounds per game, in addition, there is also an Aaron McGee who can average 4.8 points, 2.8 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 1.3 steals per game, these people are the important players who make up the 76ers' return to the playoffs, in the team's system, it is basically Iverson who is responsible for attacking the city, Charge at the forefront of killing, while the others are mainly on the defensive!

The 76ers faced the Orlando Magic led by Nick Anderson and Anfernee Hardaway in the playoffs, and the first game of the playoffs and the first game of Iverson's career playoffs, he scored 30 points, 5 rebounds and 7 assists on 12-of-29 shooting to lead the team to a 104-90 victory over the Magic. After successfully winning the first game, the second game was frantically suppressed by the Magic team, resolutely encapsulating Iverson, in fact, almost all teams did the same at that time, but Iverson was still able to score 20 or even 30 points under the defense of two people, but Iverson was completely out of shape in this game, he made 15 shots but only hit 4 shots, only scored 13 points in the whole game, sent 3 assists and 6 turnovers, Iverson played such an unbearable performance, Naturally, the team didn't get any better, scoring only 68 points in the whole game, while Magic Anfernee Hardaway scored 22 points alone to lead the team to the victory.

In fact, the 76ers lost this game in the entire series, and in the next two games, the 76ers won the game without danger, and the point difference was around 10 points, Iverson contributed 33 points in one game, and contributed 37 points in one game to lead the team to the second round of the playoffs.

The 76ers' second-round opponent, the Pacers, and their first-round opponent, the Magic, are completely heaven and earth, at that time the Pacers' ace guard Reggie Miller was still at his peak, and other players such as Mark Jackson, Rick Schmitz, Jalen Rose, Chris Mullin, and Antonio Davis are also powerful and ruthless characters, can the 76ers still be able to fight their way out of the encirclement this time?
