The 76ers always have a problem when they enter the Iverson era, that is, they don't play well in the third quarter, many games are often very anxious in the first half, in the third quarter Iverson due to the decline in physical strength and efficiency, or in the case of a direct break, the 76ers often have no one to stand up to the game, this game is the same problem for the 76ers, Iverson only scored 9 points in 3 of 8 shots in a single quarter, and the other players only scored 12 points together, on the other hand, the Lakers, O'Neal Kobe Bryant combined to score 17 points, Rick Fox, Derrick Fisher, Hores-Grant three combined to score 14 points, the 76ers were scored by the Lakers in a single quarter 20:31**, at the end of the third quarter, the 76ers had fallen behind, although the 76ers began to fight back in the fourth quarter, the difference narrowed to 10 points at the least, but there was little time left, and finally the 76ers were defeated by the Lakers 96:108, O'Neal scored 29 points, 13 rebounds and 5 blocks in 10 of 18, Kobe Bryant scored 26 points, 12 rebounds and 6 assists in 7 of 18, Rick Fox had the best game of the series, with 20 points, six rebounds and six assists on 5-of-8 shooting, Fisher scored 18 points on 6-of-8 three-pointers, Iverson scored 37 points on 14-of-32 shooting, Dillon Hill had 18 points and 13 rebounds, Eric Snow had 13 points, six rebounds and 12 assists, and Mutombo had 13 points and 11 rebounds.

The 76ers lost 1:4 to the powerful Los Angeles Lakers, lost the game, but won the respect of the world, although the hard power is far inferior to the Lakers, but the 76ers did not give up on themselves, but tried their best to fight with the opponent until the last bullet was spent, this spirit of never retreating, is also the reason why every 76ers fan, every Iverson fan likes this 76ers.

In this round of the series, Mutombo averaged 16.8 points, 12.2 rebounds and 2.2 blocks per game, and O'Neal, who was opposite him, averaged 33.0 points per game, took 15.8 rebounds, gave 4.8 assists and 3.4 blocks, and shot 57.3% from the field.

Kobe Bryant was only the second choice point for the Lakers' offense at that time, and it makes sense to hand over this report card, and here has to come out with another set of statistics of players who are opposite Iverson and Kobe Bryant, which is a comprehensive reflection of them on the defensive end.

Normally, Iverson should be the Lakers' starting point guard Derrick Fisher, who averaged 9.8 points and 2.0 assists per game in the series, shooting 43.6% from the field and 52.6% from three-point range, and was the third most scorer after the team's "OK" combination, and Fisher's performance in the previous rounds was, He averaged 15.7 points per game in the first round against the Trail Blazers, 12.3 points per game against the Kings in this round, 17.5 points per game against the Spurs in the Western Conference finals, and Aaron McGee in the 76ers opposite Kobe, who averaged 8.0 points, 5.4 rebounds, 6.0 assists, and 1.2 steals per game in the series, shooting 31.3% from the field. In the playoffs, McGee's performance was an average of 17.3 points per game in the first round against the Pacers, 16.3 points per game against the Raptors in this round, and 16.1 points against the Raptors in the Eastern Conference finals.

After the brutal playoff test of this year, the 76ers saw their own shortcomings, but also saw the future of the team, next season, they should be upgraded again on the basis of retaining the original lineup, and once again attack the championship, but no one thought that this season would be the last glory of the 76ers!
