In the second quarter, the Lakers had five people: Guo Xu, Kobe, Ryder, Horry, and Foster.

Jackson had a new trick in the lineup, O'Neal, who was not in good shape, was replaced and rested, and he was worried that the benches would not be able to withstand it, so he let Kobe Bryant continue to play. In this way, the ball is a little difficult to divide, Guo Xu and Kobe Bryant will feel unhappy, and they can't let go of their shots.

The 76ers have five players: Iverson, Snow, McGee, Kukoc, Teyrond Hill.

Larry Brown is an unusually conservative, old-school coach who never sets a "five-up, five-down" second quarter, and at least two starters with substitutes to make him feel at ease.

As for Iverson, he doesn't usually take breaks in garbage time, and it is common to play more than 40 minutes per game, and the coach will be angry if he is replaced.

The 76ers' style of play results in the ball being concentrated on one or two people, and the rest of the game is not in good numbers.

Kukoc's average data per game this season has dropped to only 8 points, 3.4 rebounds and 2 assists, and a good playmaker is about to be used by Brown as a blue-collar player;

The 76ers attacked first, Iverson took the ball to the frontcourt, and Guo Xu defended.

Finally facing the target, Guo Xu was very excited, but he didn't say hello to Iverson, and he didn't have anything to say.

He stared at the other man intently, for fear of ignoring every movement. Defenders who are fast defensively must be focused, and any unsteady breath can be passed.

Iverson dribbled the ball to his left hand in the middle of the crotch, shook his left shoulder lightly, and then changed direction to the right. His movements at first were not fast and very gentle, but when he changed direction, he suddenly accelerated, and he passed Guo Xu in one step.

Guo Xu hurriedly turned around to chase the defense, Iverson was blocked by Horry to break through, he took advantage of the situation to share the ball to Kukoc, Kobe Bryant made up the defense, and Kukoc passed to McGee again.

The 76ers players continued to share the ball and played unselfishly, and McGee broke through to attract Foster under the basket to make up for a layup, and the ball was scored for a layup by Snow who was empty. 17 to 20.

The Lakers attacked, and Bryant asked for the ball on the right side, and it seemed like a good choice for him to single out Snow. Guo Xu glanced at Kobe Bryant in the middle, and threw it away from outside the three-point line to meet Iverson.

Iverson's center of gravity dropped very low, and the speed of the bullet was amazing, and as soon as Guo Xu jumped, he jumped up with it, seriously interfering with the shot.

The ball bounced far, and Foster accidentally picked up the rebound in the front court, turned and hooked the ball in from the left side to the middle. 19 to 20.

The 76ers attacked, Snow dribbled to the front court and passed to Iverson, Guo Xu wanted to defend closely, but Iverson took out and relied on speed to open up the distance and turn to face the frame.

Guo Xu has a little understanding, whether it is breaking the bag clamp or pressing closely, it is a good way to accelerate the ball outward, it is really a step back and the sky, although it is far away from the basket and cannot shoot immediately, but it can reduce the probability of being stolen.

Iverson dribbled the ball under his right crotch to his left hand, shook his left shoulder slightly, and quickly changed direction to the right, which was another successful step.

Guo Xu wanted to move sideways to keep up, but found that his feet were very awkward, and his center of gravity shifted unconsciously.

In the first quarter, he watched Kobe Bryant be passed by Iverson several times on the sidelines, and thought he could do better, but now he understands that Iverson's change of direction is worthy of being a trick that is fresh and eaten all over the world, and it is difficult to prevent.

Iverson's technical skills are very solid, and the most powerful in his arsenal is the crotch dribble and the change of direction. Because when he dribbles, the arc of the basketball is as graceful as a butterfly through a flower, so his signature action is named "butterfly through the flower step".

However, Iverson couldn't get an empty spot immediately after passing Guo Xu, he was hit by Kobe Bryant and Horry near the free throw line, and Guo Xu, who was chasing after the defense, was surrounded by three people.

Iverson opted to split the ball to Snow, who simply missed the basket in the open space and the rebound was grabbed by Bryant.

Snow is known for his defense, and he always does his job well on the defensive end, and his lower game is more powerful, which he trained under Payton when he was in the supersonics. Although he grasped the defensive organization, his shortcomings were obvious, he didn't shoot well and didn't score three points, he basically relied on layups to score, and he wasn't too sure about shooting in the open space.

Guo Xu took the ball to the frontcourt, gave Foster a code to find cover, and prepared to break through and return one.

After blocking and dismantling, 76ers big forward Kukoc did not defend very far away, two steps away from Guo Xu waiting for him to break through, and he could also step forward at any time to interfere with the shot. KUKOC IS A 211CM TALL FORWARD AND CAN BE A DISTRACTION WHEN HE STANDS IN FRONT OF THE DEFENDER.

Guo Xu was about to move sideways and take a step-back jumper for three points, but before he could retreat, Iverson bypassed the cover and caught up and reached out from behind him to stab the basketball. Kukoc hurried two steps to the ground to save the ball back to the court with one hand, the defense was hard enough, Iverson picked up the basketball, and Guo Xu added a mistake.

When he returned to defense, Guo Xu felt that he had been deceived by those posts on the NBA forum in his previous life. Damn, what about the good defensive black hole? Shouldn't I be able to hit casually?

Iverson's comprehensive defensive ability is indeed average, because his height and weight are there, and it is impossible to switch to a big man when he encounters a pick-and-roll, so he can only chase the guard. This is a common problem of point guards, unless it is Payton and Kidd who are more than 1.9 meters tall and are not afraid of misalignment.

Thanks to his arm length and speed, Iverson is a good defensive effect against small point guards, and he is said to be a defensive black hole after joining the Nuggets. At that time, there was no Snow by his side, and he started with Anthony Carter, who is 185CM tall, who can be prevented by such a combination?

There are also many people who like to count Iverson as a point guard, and he is definitely a black hole at the No. 2 position, although no coach will put him at the main point guard.

In short, no one currently says that Iverson has a poor defense, but there are many people who praise him, because he has averaged more than two steals per game for five consecutive seasons since he entered the league, and he has a chance to win the steal king this season.

In Guo Xu's previous life, in the 2000-01 season of the best defensive player vote, Iverson got the same vote as Kobe and Kidd, ranking 12th. In the 2002-03 Defensive Player of the Season vote, Iverson came in sixth place, ahead of Bowen and Kobe, and at his peak, Iverson was at the top of the Defensive Player of the Year poll several times. The vote was cast by the reporter, and the reporter couldn't help him steal the game.

The 76ers attacked, Guo Xu and Iverson faced up for the third time, maintaining a one-and-a-half-step main defensive breakthrough. This defense worked against Iverson, who rarely used step-back jumpers for three-pointers.

Sure enough, Iverson chose to force a breakthrough, dribbling under his crotch changed direction, Guo Xu judged the right direction and stuck the breakthrough route, but Horry was not too relieved, and let go of Kukoc to form a bag, which was a wrong decision.

Iverson immediately passed the ball, and Kukoc burst into the basket with the ball to attract Foster's defense, and passed to Teyron on the left from close range, who received the ball in the open space, jumped up and scored with an easy two-handed dunk. 19 to 22.

In the Lakers positional battle, Kobe Bryant's eyes were already on fire, so Guo Xu passed the ball out after half the court.

Kobe Bryant received the ball and singled out Snow, failed to break through in a change of direction, brought it to the low post to protect the ball with his back, took advantage of his height to turn around and shoot a jumper, and Foster grabbed the frontcourt rebound and touched the ball out of the bottom line.

After the dead ball, Jackson made adjustments, O'Neal replaced Foster, who had only played less than one and a half minutes, and in order to ensure the victory, "Zen Master" had to the star to death.
