930. Iverson's Metamorphosis, The Insidious Master and Apprentice (Ask for Recommendation Votes)

After two minutes of fighting, Willie Green, who had just flaunted his might, committed two fouls!

Willie Green wasn't much of a big part of the 76ers, so they stayed on the court after two fouls, and their best outside player besides Iverson was Samuels, the team's sixth man.

And after only two minutes of play, the 76ers are also a playoff-level team with a relatively complete rotation plan.

Then immediately after, three rounds were played, the Hawks relied on 3 three-pointers in 2 of 3 shots and Liu Mang made all 6 free throws in the opening game, the Hawks scored 12 points in the opening three minutes, and the 76ers relied on Iverson to break through themselves to score two points, and the ball gave Webb a 2+1 plus Willie Green's dunk to score 7 points.

The Hawks played a 12-7 start, and the Hawks attacked, Liu Mang once again switched to Willie Green by blocking and dismantling, and Willie Green committed three fouls......

Liu Mang looked for him to fight, he defended Maddie, Liu Mang and Maddie blocked and dismantled, Maddie knows Liu Mang's revenge psychology very well, this kind of thing is impossible not to retaliate, so Maddie took the initiative to let Willie Green defend whom, who will block and dismantle with Liu Mang to force the other party to change defense, if the other party does not change the defense, Liu Mang directly threw it outside the three-point line, directly wrapped him and passed it to Korver, Korver was very powerful to start throwing a three-pointer, Liu Mang also threw in a three-pointer.

After Liu Mang caused Willie Green to foul for the third time, Willie Green became angry, was rubbed by Liu Mang and took two steps back, rushed up and was about to push Liu Mang, Liu Mang blocked it with his arm, and the iron elbow Gong unloaded the force, dodged sideways, and Willie Green fell to the ground all of a sudden.

Willie Green made such a move, and the other four players on the Hawks court immediately surrounded him.

Iverson hurried over to block Willie Green, and although he didn't like this teammate with a personality that exceeded his own level of pride, he was the team's little brother.

Liu Mang wanted to tease Willie Green, it was Willie Green who found fault by himself, Iverson had nothing to say, but if he wanted to fight, he would immediately come up to help.

But Iverson has now blacklisted Willie Green, doesn't this guy, don't you know that the bastard across the street is a well-known NBA hooligan? When there was a conflict, I didn't see that bastard suffer, and if the provocation was taught a lesson, he still wanted to do it.

Liu Mang waved his hand, signaling to his teammates that he was fine.

The referee came up and separated the people on both sides and gave Willie Green a technical foul, but fortunately it didn't cause a conflict, otherwise he would have sent Willie Green out.

That's when 76ers head coach Jim O'Brien finally called a timeout.

Although it was Willie Green who provoked the conflict, the referee glanced at Liu Mang who walked to the bench after blowing the whistle for a timeout.

Blow a technical foul, and you have to write a report again!

What is this called? A sophomore homeless to provoke an MVP-caliber player, Jim O'Brien feels like he's losing a lot of money even though he gets Webb to form a two-star lineup! It took almost half of the rotation lineup to replace Webb, and although there were two stars, the team's strength was no different from the first half of the season.

Fortunately, the cooperation of the two stars is not bad, with such a core combination, they have survived this season, and they will have capital to bring in reinforcements in the offseason.

Maddie and Liu Mang returned to the bench together, and when they heard Liu Mang humming a song he didn't understand, he knew that Liu Mang had now put aside what he had just been provoked for.

Maddie's mood now is not that she is relaxed, but that she is ...... It took less than four minutes to relax, and the second-grader on the opposite side collapsed, so useless! I think about the scoring champion of my own team back then, but I fought with him several times in the second grade!

It's time to start working as a wheat hemp again, and Maddie feels like she should really work hard......

……

After the timeout, there were no substitutions on the Hawks' side, and the 76ers replaced Willie Green with Rodney Rodgers, who was signed after the All-Star weekend and was bought out by the Nets.

Both men play a similar role, both are offensive players with the ball, used to fill the lack of strength in the starting lineup.

Korver went up and hit a technical foul to give the Hawks a six-point lead at 13-7.

Liu Mang continued to walk to the free throw line, called a timeout and interrupted his good feeling of free throws after touching porcelain, and made 2 of 3 free throws.

After 4 minutes of play, Liu Mang has already scored 11 points!

The Hawks lead the 76ers by 8 points 15-7!

When the 76ers attacked, Iverson advanced to the frontcourt, and after coming to the three-point line, he dribbled to face Liu Mang.

Iverson is watching his teammates' movements, Rodney Rodgers is opening up space from mid-range baselines, Childis is running with Maddy, ready to cut in, Webber is blocking Childes off the ball, and Mark Jackson ...... It would be nice to be able to contain Kwame Brown under the basket.

Iverson quickly observed his teammates, and said to Liu Mang in front of him: "Enough of playing with children, now it's our turn." ”

Liu Mang stared at Iverson very cautiously, not distracted by Iverson's words, his own team led by 8 points, just 8 points from his free throws, if there was no Willie Green to do things, let him just beat Willie Green, and really beat it, it would not be so easy to open the difference.

"Ding...... Talent skill unyielding arrogance level 4 trigger, this game before the physical fitness is exhausted, will not affect the strength of the performance because of the decline in physical fitness, because of the dissatisfaction with the host, in a state of excitement, comprehensive ability evaluation +4. From Aaron Iverson. ”

"Ding...... With Allen Iverson in a state of excitement, the Philadelphia 76ers are all in a state of excitement to offset the morale suppression brought by the Hawks' home court. ”

"Oh, you 183 uncrowned man", hearing Iverson's current "determination" explained by the system's data, Liu Mang couldn't help but exclaim in his heart.

Moreover, the system's digitized Iverson's talent skills when he was angry have changed! From the past to fight more and more alone, it has become a leading teammate!

Iverson's changes are starting to show more and more obviousness after having a teammate like Webb! Liu Mang didn't dare to be careless, this 183 guy wants to do something!

Although Iverson doesn't like Willie Green, and now he doesn't like it even more, but Liu Mang taught his team's little brother in front of him, and it was Willie Green who asked for the lesson at that time, Iverson wouldn't help and caused trouble to learn the lesson, but after the lesson is over, Iverson wants to get back on the field!

Now he is in the same mood as when he saw the OK group not taking him seriously at all before the first game of the finals, and he wants to get back on the field!

Iverson saw that Liu Mang was not distracted, and let out a "whoop", if Liu Mang was not distracted, he was not distracted, Iverson began to dribble under his crotch continuously, ready to come hard.

Liu Mang stepped on small broken steps, staring at Iverson's movements, Iverson's large butterfly step could not be judged at all, or even if he judged the opponent's first breakthrough direction, Iverson could immediately change the rhythm by relying on a large dribble.

The main thing is Iverson's speed, it's just too fast!

Liu Mang was once again taken by Iverson to break through first, and Liu Mang was too late to press it up! Iverson is short, but his strength is no worse than Liu Mang!

At this time, Korver had already caught the right side of the free throw line, and Liu Mang was not worried about Iverson passing the ball to him for Rodney Rodgers, who was so old that the Nets cut him.

However, when Korver came up to pinch Iverson in advance, Rodney Rodgers had already gone to Webber to block without the ball, Iverson immediately passed the ball to the left side of the free throw line when he encountered the bag, Webber received the ball and passed it to the middle, and then turned around to jam Maddie who was chasing Childis, and Childes received the ball and threw it inside the free throw line to score two points!

With a very small space, Iverson and Webb played two passes!

9 to 15, 6 points difference!

Watching Iverson and Webb high-five and retreat, Liu Mang felt that something was not quite right!

That's right! Although Iverson is fourth in the league in points per game this season, ranking behind Liu Mang, Kobe Bryant, and James, his average assists per game are also in the top ten in the league! Only behind Nash, Maddy, Francis, Blevin Knight, Kidd, Marbury, Andre Miller, and only 0.1 assists per game with Marbury and Andre Miller!

It's time for the Hawks to attack again, Maddie advances with the ball, Liu Mang begins to run without the ball, running around with Iverson, consuming Iverson's physical strength, although the characteristic of this guy is that as long as he still has strength, he looks the same as if he didn't consume it, but there is always a limit, after all, it will be 30 in June.

Liu Mang took Iverson interspersed with running, and he had already scored 11 points in a single quarter, and he began to take the initiative to block and dismantle his teammates.

Maddie broke through from the top arc when Liu Mang went to Korver's no-ball block, and did not blindly break into the pinch circle, but broke through to the right side of the free throw line, and the space on the weak side of Maddy's pass to the left was blocked by the chasing Childres, so Maddie passed the ball to Liu Mang after Liu Mang blocked and dismantled Rodney Roders and Iverson, and Liu Mang passed to Korver, who pulled to the left 45-degree angle, and Korver made a three-point shot......

The opportunity was good, but the shot was missed, Kwame Brown was blocked by Mark Jackson and immediately chose to retreat, Webb judged the landing point, and forced Muhammad to win the rebound.

The Hawks actually played well this offense, and Maddie encouraged Korver not to be cowardly when he returned to the defense and had a chance to continue shooting.

If you don't make a shot, you should throw it.

When it came to the 76ers' offense, Iverson used the beautiful pass just now and Webber's exquisite second pass after the pass to contain the Hawks' defense, Iverson broke through Liu Mang, and after Korver blocked Webb because of Webb and Rodney Rodgers' off-ball blocking, Iverson hit a two-point jumper from the free throw line.

11-15, the difference narrowed to 4 points!

The Hawks ran no problem, but they couldn't shoot, and it was the Hawks offense, the Hawks concocted the same way, Maddie remembered the timing of the 76ers' change of defense and Liu Mang's rhythm of blocking and demolition in Korver, and after breaking through to free up the outside space, he distributed the ball to Korver who ran to the bottom left corner, and Korver received the ball and shot three points...... This time it hit!

Korver opened the game with 2 of 3 three-pointers, plus a technical foul free throw, and scored 7 points!

18-11, the difference is 7 points again!

The situation on the field began to get scorched.

The 76ers' defense is very targeted, taking advantage of the fact that the Hawks' current lineup of big forwards can't open up space, mainly blocking Liu Mang and Maddy, and giving Korver a chance to shoot, this kind of defense is the best defense that the 76ers can do.

Originally, it was necessary to defend like this from the beginning, but who knew that Willie Green did something and made Liu Mang make three fouls alive, and the score difference was widened.

And the 76ers' offense is also at the level of 100 points per game, especially after Iverson and Webb are getting better and better, after the All-Star weekend, the 76ers have averaged 103 points per game, and they are about to increase their average points per game to more than 100.

The Eagles' offense mainly relied on two points, Liu Mang pinned down the defense and Maddie's pass, and played well under the opponent's extremely targeted defense.

The main thing is that the 76ers used Iverson and Webb's offense to play surprisingly well! The most important thing is that Iverson is now using a scoring threat to drive his teammates to score, which is quite powerful!

The margin has been hovering before 3-8 points, and although the 76ers couldn't catch up with the score, they didn't let the Hawks pull away either!

At the end of the first quarter, the Hawks scored 15 points in the first four minutes of the game, 37-30, leading by 7 points in a single quarter and entering the intermission.

……

Coach Kruger did not make any substitutions in the first quarter, mainly because he was surprised by Iverson, which was very different from the last time they met!

This is also where Liu Mang was surprised.

When the combination of Iverson and Webb was first formed, although Iverson also passed the ball, it felt very different from now, at that time, Iverson's style of play was similar to selecting some opportunities from shooting to pass to teammates, and although the assist reached a career high, it was not a organized offense, and Webber did not form a combination at all.

Liu Mang thought about it for a while, and changed the adjective, it should be Iverson's previous "organization" offense, in order to get assists, not to organize the team's offense.

Iverson is a superstar who has never actually shown the ability of a superstar to make his teammates better.

Bryant, like Kobe, is a huge bonus to the interior, and almost all teammates will be around him to bring out their potential and play the best performance of their careers...... It was an accident to wear the number 12 shirt.

Although James is not very friendly to his all-round teammates, the pitcher can play better and better by his side, and Maddie is also said by Mike Miller to be the best passer he has ever encountered.

O'Neal can always make the big forward next to him look okay, and no matter how weak the big forward is, when he partners with him, he will play statistics beyond his strength.

Nash is the most typical superstar who can make his teammates better, and Kidd is a little worse in his own scoring ability, and his role is also a superstar.

And Iverson, even in his peak 00-01 season, has not shown the ability to make his teammates better.

This is a very unreasonable thing, the reason why a superstar is a superstar, at the very least, the other party can't prevent him alone, and he can always attract the bag, which Iverson has been encountering, he has been the object of the bag since his rookie season, but he is still shot by himself, and the opposing center is still shooting by himself when he suddenly goes inside, Iverson's assist rate cannot enter the top 50 point guards who have appeared more than 100 times in NBA history, which is completely incredible for a superstar point guard.

But now, the combination of Iverson and Webb has run in very well! In the case of Iverson's anger, the 76ers' offensive and defensive tactics were played, bringing out the role of a superstar point guard and a first-class power forward who played a strategic type, and although they couldn't defend against the Hawks, they scored their own points to keep up!

In the first quarter, Liu Mang had 16 points and two assists, Maddie had 3 points and five assists, Korver scored 10 points, and Kwame Brown and Muhammad scored four points each.

Although Iverson only had 8 points and 3 assists, and Webber only had 4 points and 2 assists, the 76ers' offense completely took advantage of Iverson's threat.

Liu Mang thought for a while, had an idea, and came to Coach Kruger's side, the two glanced at each other, and they could see that the other party had an idea.

The main thing is that Coach Kruger grabbed the tactical board stubbornly, and Liu Mang didn't take the tactical board away even when he stretched out his hand.

Coach Krueger and Mike Woodson didn't make much tactical adjustments in the first quarter, and it was the same when the official timeout, but they have been studying the 76ers' style of play, mainly because their own side has always maintained the lead, so they want the 76ers to beat the tactics to death, let the 76ers get used to such tactics, and then target the use!

The 76ers played very well from the inside, scoring 27 of their 30 points in the three-second zone, and only Rodney Rodgers made a three-pointer.

But the 76ers didn't make any substitutions because they played well and are now very confident in this tactic, which gave Coach Krueger a tactical idea after getting Mike Woodson's defensive analysis of the opponent's offense.

When he saw Liu Mang coming next to him, Coach Kruger grabbed the tactics board and didn't let go.

The eyes of the master and apprentice met, and the tacit understanding of the master and apprentice made the two speak at the same time:

"Plug them!"

"Shrink the inner line!"

This is how the cultural differences between university professors and college graduates are revealed, the words are completely different, but the meaning is the same!

The 76ers are one of the worst three-point teams in the league, with Iverson averaging 1.6 three-pointers per game, the most by the 76ers, followed by Samuels' 1.1 per game, and the 76ers are averaging 4.9 three-pointers per game, one of only three teams in the league to average less than five three-pointers per game.

Coach Kruger was ready to take advantage of this after observing the whole quarter, and Liu Mang also thought of this when he sat on the sidelines to rest, turning from a man in the game to an outsider.

At the same time, Liu Mang also thought of Coach Kruger's intention not to make substitutions in the first quarter, obviously to let the opponent shoot less outside and be more accustomed to the inside line of play, which is really ...... It's despicable......

The apprentice, who was already insidious, and the teacher who had been nurtured by his ears and eyes, looked at each other again.

"This is my teacher!"

"This is my disciple!"
