On November 13, the first stop of the 76ers' western road trip.

Philadelphia 76ers vs Dallas Mavericks.

The Mavericks should be regarded as the first top team in the league that the 76ers have encountered since the season.

Last season, the Mavericks recorded a historic 67 wins, setting a new record for the best in franchise history, and the season record can also be called the highest in the entire long history of the NBA.

In the playoffs, they were beaten by the Warriors' crazy black eight, which affected the team's reputation to some extent.

But there's no denying that the Mavericks are still synonymous with the Texas Big Three, one of the strongest teams in the West.

The 76ers are making great progress in the new season, and the Mavericks have become a touchstone to measure the true strength of the 76ers in the eyes of the outside world.

.......

Dallas.

American Airlines Center Arena.

The silent night falls, the hustle and bustle of the city is enveloped, the lights are shining, the time is burning with passion, and as far as the eye can see, it is full of western fanatical "cowboy" fans.

The Mavericks have had a season of starting low and going high and then going low, and everyone's evaluation has changed again and again.

The only thing that remains unchanged is the fans, who are consistent and convinced.

The visit of 76 people can be regarded as a strong team conversation between the East and the West, and the ratings are extremely high.

Before the game, some media interviewed Wang Mingming.

This includes the well-established ESPN.

Beautiful reporter Erin Andrews interviews live.

"Now that the 76ers have one of the best records in the league, and some people have compared you to a contender for a championship in the NBA, what do you think? Or what's on your mind right now? ”

Wang Mingming looked at this beautiful reporter in surprise, except for Boda, the questions asked were still rare open-ended questions.

After thinking about it, he replied politely:

'We've always been in contention for the championship and now that the season has just begun, we're on the right path, we've won some games, but if we want to win it, it's something you have to go through. Some of the youngsters on the team, even though they are young, have been in the league for three or four years, and they are really battle-hardened, and they will learn the culture of the team and they will burst out with the energy they deserve for it. ”

Wang Mingming's polite words came to the back, and he was a little incorrect, conflicting with the front and back, the logic was confused, and his tongue was rarely knotted.

But Erin Andrews listened to it very reasonably, and Wang Tomorrow replied unhurriedly, neither deep nor shallow, and his beautiful eyes were full of brilliance.

After a brief opening ceremony, both sides took to the field.

The 76ers are still in the same lineup as Iverson, Korver, Iguodala, Gasol and Hellam Porter.

The Mavericks lined up Devin Harris, Eddie Jones, Josh Howard, Dirk Nowitzki and Desaguena Diop at the No. 1 to No. 5 positions.

Terry was tactically put on the bench, but Dampier, the "No. 1 center in the West", was belittled by "Little General" Johnson.

Avery Johnson was beaten by Nelson's brilliant run-and-gun tactics in the playoffs last season, and he must have rejected Dampier's traditional meat shield center with a slow offense and poor attack.

Diop is also heavy, but he is much better than Dampier in terms of speed, especially in terms of defensive positivity, which is not comparable to Dampier.

In the 05-06 season, Diop averaged 1.8 blocks per game and ranked 14th overall, and he appeared as a substitute player, and his enthusiasm and defensive awareness were not comparable to the chaotic Dampier.

Johnson moved Diop into the starting line-up, and at 127 kilograms, standing on the sidelines, he was noticeably thicker than Bowler Daleam.

.......

The race started in a hustle and bustle.

The 76ers attacked the ball in the first wave, and Iverson held the ball at the top of the arc.

Iverson has changed too much, it turns out that in the 76ers' system, he plays the No. 2 position through and through, and the area of receiving the ball is mainly in the elbow area on both sides.

But now, Iverson is organizing at the top of the arc.

Not in a hurry to break through, the cross pass was distributed to Iguodala who came out of his pocket.

When Wang Tomorrow said that Iguodala should be organized, Iverson was in favor with both hands, and he also knew that the era of all-encompassing offense had passed, and if he wanted to win the championship, he must obey Wang Tomorrow's command and arrangement, and he should be conscious of his tactical changes.

Iguodala organizes the attack and breaks through with the ball on the side.

But Josh Howard's defense was so good that Iguodala couldn't break through him, and then shifted to Pau Gasol in the low post.

Gasol's monstrously long arms hold the basketball high and his back to Noviski.

In an instant, the 76ers' wings began to cut inward, and on the weak side, around the defender's backdoor, everyone's attention was on Gasol.

Gasol turned around, changed to his left hand at the side of his body, and with a light hook, he shifted widely.

It's Iverson who catches the ball!

Iverson received the ball and went inside, and the Mavericks' formation was already out of order, and he broke through the air to score the ball.

45 degree position.

Korver, catch-and-shoot jumper!

"Huh!"

Hit!

It started with a team-based three-point shot, but most of the credit for this shot should go to Pau Gasol, and the combination between him and Iverson is the most important.

Then it was Iverson who gave Korver a 45-degree vacancy.

But the assist was counted on Iverson's head, and Gasol contributed nothing in this round of offense.

3-0, Mavericks attack.

Nowitzki turned around and was interfered with by Gasol, who was also much more interfered than Harrington, and in this way, Nowitzki's shot was missed.

Last season, the 76ers were already crazy about the fast break if they grabbed the rebounds in the frontcourt.

But this season, the temperament of the 76ers is obviously different.

Unhurriedly pushed to the frontcourt, Iverson and Gasol blocked high.

The Mavericks kept the ball in hand, and Iverson was caught in the trap.

Iverson wanted to pass the ball to Gasol on the wing or disjointed, but the Mavericks pressed too hard, he could only protect the ball first, and then look up to prepare to pass, but the timing was not good.

The lob ball is passed to Pau Gasol.

Gasol then blocks and covers with a hand-to-hand pass.

This time the cover was extremely high-quality, blocking Josh Howard who was defending Iguodala.

"Make it up!"

Howard yelled.

But at this time, Iguodala had already rushed up, his posture was quite a kind of James's spirit, and Diop was the only defender in the penalty area, looking at the trapeze and opening his mouth.

"Bang dang!"

Iguodala slammed the ball into the basket with one hand.

"What a blow to split Huashan!"

The broadcast court station explained with emotion, "This mountain is about to be destroyed by them!" ”

The Mavericks attacked, Devin Harris broke through to the interior and missed the shot in the face of Dyrem Porter, who turned around and grabbed the rebound.

In an instant, the 76ers players ran wildly.

It was like a sudden signal, and everyone suddenly launched a fast attack.

Bowler crossed the half with a pass and found Iguodala.

Iguodala slammed forward, more than two meters like a beast, and the advantage was reflected.

During the dribble, he suddenly stopped and stopped.

To the left, there was just Aaron Iverson who was about to cut in, and Josh Howard, who was defending him, subconsciously glanced at Iverson.

To pass it to Iverson?

All eyes were on Iverson, but at this time, Iguodala looked at Iverson and quietly threw the ball into the air.

Gasol jumped more than thirty centimeters and raised his arms high.

In the air, gliding, the air seemed to be torn apart.

"Smack!"

His figure in the air is graceful, with his hands clasped on the basketball.

"Bang!"

Press down on your wrist and dunk the ball in!

In an instant, the American Airlines Center Arena was silent.

Avery Johnson stood up from the dugout, raised his hand in the air, and motioned to the referee on duty, and the Mavericks asked for a timeout......
