Look at the lineup of the Philadelphia 76ers in the 2000-2001 season, the backcourt starters are Iverson and Eric Snow, the starting frontcourt is Dillon Hill and George Lynch, the center Ratliff and then count Aaron McGee in the bench, and Matt Geiger, except for Iverson, the other players are all defensive functional players, none of these people have the ability to create scoring on their own, and the 76ers gave head coach Larry Brown great authority in the process of building the team. Larry Brown is a typical academic coach, pay attention to sharing players and team cooperation, players are mediocre, which means that they will at least not play nonsense, but there is one person who is an exception, he is Iverson, in the team at that time, Iverson and Larry Brown showed two completely different styles, Brown wanted the team to play more cooperatively, but those he selected had to rely on Iverson's personal super offensive firepower to find opportunities to win, which can be described as a two-way contradiction, Iverson has a stubborn personality, and he is a superstar in the team and even the league at that time, so he will naturally not compromise, and Brown, this kind-looking, white-haired, seemingly gentle old man is actually very stubborn in his bones, he has taught basketball with this style of play for more than ten years, and he can't make compromises, the conflict between the two people intensified in the 1999-2000 season completely broke out, today Iverson called the team's general manager Pat Cross and told Brown to get out, Tomorrow Brown called Kloss to ask the team to trade Iverson, the relationship between the two was irreconcilable, and civil strife broke out when the team gradually rose, which everyone did not want to see, at this time, the then president of the team, Pat Close, came forward to resolve the contradiction slightly, he summoned Iverson and Brown to interview, the three of them were open and honest, and finally put the team on the right track, and began to attack the championship with all their might!

In the middle of the 2000-2001 season, the Philadelphia 76ers made an important trade, they traded Ratliff and Kukoc, who couldn't find the game for a long time, to the Hawks, and traded from the Hawks for a powerful center, Kendibe Mutombo!

Mutombo is a very strong defensive center, rebounding, blocks are very good, before that he was selected as a six-time All-Star, three-time Defensive Player of the Year, in fact, just this season when Mutombo was traded to the 76ers, he still won the league's best defensive player, the deal was actually very hasty, before the trade, the 76ers had a very good record, the Hawks fell, began to enter the rebuild, Mutombo, who had an annual salary of nearly $15 million, naturally became the first person to open the knife, The 76ers saw the right time, made a decisive move, and completed the upgrade of the player's hardware.

This season, the 76ers achieved the best record of 56-26 in nearly a decade and entered the playoffs as the No. 1 seed in the East, and in this year's playoffs, Philadelphia contributed many classic moments!

In the first round of the playoffs, the opponent of the Philadelphia 76ers is still the Indiana Pacers, and the Philadelphia 76ers have been sniped by the Pacers in the playoffs for three consecutive years, and the first two times were all feathers, and this time everyone in the 76ers team was holding back their strength and had to beat the Pacers, in fact, the Pacers at that time were in the stage of replacing the old and the new, and the new Jermaine O'Neal was being taught by Reggie Miller, Jalen Rose was inefficient, such a Pacer, Obviously, there is no capital to wrestle with the 76ers.

3:1, the 76ers finally broke through the Pacers' barrier for the third time, Iverson averaged 31.5 points, 4.0 rebounds, 6.5 assists and 2.0 steals per game, Mutombo played a huge role on the defensive end, he successfully limited O'Neal Jr., and became the key to the team's ability to win and advance, he averaged 10.3 points, 14.8 rebounds and 4.5 blocks per game! In addition to Iverson and Mutombo, Aaron McGee also had an excellent performance in this series, averaging 17.3 points, 4.0 rebounds and 4.5 assists per game.

In the second round, Iverson's Philadelphia 76ers faced the Toronto Raptors led by Canadian Flyer Vince Carter, at that time, the Raptors were also a very powerful team, Carter amazed the world in the new century's dunk contest, giving birth to countless jokes in the future, Charles Oakley on the inside line is also a "master" with a tough style of play, a hot temper, and a little unpleasant is the addition of punches and kicks, and there are good Alvin Williams and the father of the now popular fried chicken Steve Curry - Dale Curry.

In the first game, the 76ers lost 93-96, and Iverson scored 36 points, 8 rebounds, 4 assists and 7 steals on 11-of-34 shooting, and he almost saved the team. His three-pointer trailed by one point with 7.9 seconds left before the end, and then Carter walked to the free throw line and hit both free throws, Aaron McGee missed a three-point shot, and the game was over, Mutombo scored 17 points, 12 rebounds and 3 blocks, Aaron McGee scored 14 points and 6 rebounds, and no one else scored a double-double, while Carter of the Raptors scored 35 points, 7 assists and 2 blocks, and Dell Curry played well and shot 20 points off the bench.

The second game became Iverson's battle for the gods, and he scored a full 54 points on 21-of-39 shooting! led the team to defeat the Raptors 97-92, and the two teams fought to the last moment, at this time, Iverson came out and ended the game, a two-plus one-hit, a breakthrough, two free throws and a steal that completely killed the game, all made Iverson a "god" in this game! Carter scored 28 points in the game, and forward Antonio Davis had 19 points, 10 rebounds and three assists on 8-of-13 shooting. In this game, the 76ers had a full 15 fewer total assists than the Raptors, which also shows the team-building style of both teams.

The third game - the two teams tied 23:23 in the first quarter, but in the second quarter, Carter suddenly entered the rampage mode, Carter shot 6 of 8 three-pointers in the first quarter, shot 5 of 6, piggybacked on two free throws, and scored 19 points, 2 rebounds, 2 assists and 3 blocks in a single quarter! You must know that the 76ers only scored 18 points in the second quarter! The Raptors beat the opponent 35:18 in the second quarter, and the 76ers were powerless to fight back throughout the game, and finally the 76ers swallowed a heavy defeat with 78:102, Iverson entered the gas accumulation stage after the last big outburst, scoring 23 points and 8 assists on 7-of-22 shooting, Aaron McGee played a good performance again, 17 points and 5 rebounds in the game, Raptors Carter shot 19-of-29 and scored 50 points, 6 rebounds, 7 assists and 4 blocks, and Antonio Davis also scored 20 points and 14 rebounds.

In the fifth battle of Tianwang Mountain, Iverson completely destroyed the Raptors with a 52-point high-score battle, 121:88, the 76ers ushered in a big victory, McGee scored 19 points and 9 assists, and the Raptors' Carter scored 16 points in the whole game, which is already the highest on the team.

In the sixth game, Iverson started the gas mode after a high-scoring performance, scoring 20 points, 4 rebounds and 4 assists on 6-of-24 shooting, McGee scored 19 points, 6 rebounds and 6 assists, Mutombo scored 9 points, 4 rebounds and 6 blocks, and the Raptors Carter finished his breath and released a big move in this game, scoring 39 points, 5 rebounds, 5 assists and 4 steals, leading the team to a 101-89 victory over the 76ers.

Finally came to the final tie-break, the previous six games, the two sides played a 3:3 draw, the two teams were equal, and the skills and tactics also played a relatively high level, Iverson and Carter's score battle also made this round of the series one of the most ornamental series of the year, the last game, Iverson VS Carter, who will laugh at the end!

The biggest surprise in this game was Iverson, Iverson didn't feel good on the offensive end in this game, scoring 21 points on only 8-of-27 shooting, but he frequently used sudden points to kill opponents, and finally he sent as many as 16 assists in the whole game! Aaron McGee continued the whole series with a very good performance, scoring 22 points and 7 rebounds on 8-of-16 shooting, Mutombo scored 10 points and 17 rebounds, and in the last 55 seconds of the game, the 76ers led 88-84, who knew that at this time, the Raptors' Dell Curry three-point shot the 76ers' advantage was only one point, and in the subsequent offense, Iverson missed the shot, but Aaron McGee grabbed this key frontcourt rebound, and came back Eric Snow also failed to hit, Leaving the Raptors 8.8 seconds, in the end, Carter executed the Raptors' last shot, but unfortunately, the basketball did not enter the net bag, and the 76ers narrowly defeated the Raptors 4:3 to reach the Eastern Conference finals!

In the last game, Torontonian people could scold Carter miserably, not because he didn't score the final goal, but because before the tie-break, Carter flew to his college North Carolina to receive his degree certificate, ended the graduation ceremony at 10 o'clock in the morning, and was going to fly to Philadelphia at 1 pm to play the tie-break, and finally the rush of time led to Carter's lack of rest, so that he was almost inactive in the second half of the tie-break. For such behavior, there are some people in the team who support and some who oppose it, such as the evil man Oakley, he clearly supports Carter to go to North Carolina, he said that there are not many opportunities like this in life, and he should experience and cherish it. But like Raptors coach Wilkins, he objected, and he warned Carter that if Carter played mediocre in the tiebreaker, then you would incur huge criticism or abuse from fans, Carter didn't listen to Wilkins, but was eventually taken by Wilkins.

Iverson averaged 33.7 points, 4.4 rebounds, 6.9 assists, 3.1 steals, 3.0 turnovers per game in the whole series, shooting 40.4% from the field and 43.2% from three-point range, while Raptors star Vince Carter averaged 30.4 points, 6.0 rebounds, 5.6 assists, 1.9 steals, 2.0 blocks, 2.1 turnovers per game, shooting 47.4% from the field and 42.2% from three-point range. Alvin Johnson averaged more than 10 points per game, and the two teams were basically at the same time, probably just because the 76ers were a little more lucky, so they had the last laugh.

The Philadelphia 76ers defeated the Raptors 4:3, and the opponent in the next round is the same as the 76ers, the Milwaukee Bucks, who are also on the way to rise, at that time, the Bucks have a strong twin star combination, the inside line is Glenn Robinson, nicknamed "Big Dog", and the outside line is Ray Allen, nicknamed "Gentleman's Sword", these two players can score 22 points per game, the point guard is Sam Cassell, nicknamed "Alien" for the ugly but really extraordinary, the rookie season showed solid point guard potential, Now he has grown into a top five PG in the league. can average 18.2 points and 7.6 assists per game, in addition to these three, other players Tim Thomas, Hunter Lynch, Jason Caffey, Elvin Johnson (he is not a Magician, he is a blue-collar inside, averaging 3.2 points and 7.5 rebounds per game this season) and other strong players, in fact, at that time, later the Bucks boss Michael Reed was also on the team, this season was his rookie season, he did not get the team's heavy use, complete water cooler caretaker role, and even worse, he did not show his basketball talent, just after the sixth game because of the left knee tendon on the wall, at that time, The future "street ball king" Ralph Alston is also in the Bucks, he was selected by the Bucks last year for the second round pick, but there is no chance to perform, he only played 27 games throughout the season, with an average playing time of only 13 minutes per game, this season Alston has completely become a trick, only playing 37 games throughout the season, averaging less than eight minutes per game, and the playoffs are one or two minutes, and Alston is the same as Joel Purzbilla, He also didn't get any serious game time, and he only played 1 game in the playoffs, and the opportunity to perform was only 2 minutes.
