Chapter 193: A New Knight

The 76ers' win over the Lakers, who are the first in the West, is undoubtedly a shot in the arm for the entire Philadelphia.

Fans are delighted to see that Philadelphia, the team that won the championship last season, is back.

The 76ers were in high spirits, and in early December, they beat Western teams such as the Grizzlies, Spurs, and Hornets, and then started a wave of road trips, with the main venues concentrated in the central and southwestern United States.

On Christmas Eve, the 76ers had the third-highest record in the East, behind the Cleveland Cavaliers and Boston Celtics.

In this year's Christmas War, the league has arranged five games, which is the most Christmas War in the past years.

The 76ers vs. the Cavaliers, the Celtics vs. the Lakers, the Hornets vs. the Magic, the Spurs vs. the Suns, and the Mavericks vs. the Trail Blazers.

It's full of highlights.

The 76ers are playing away from home, and in the playoffs last year, the 76ers did not meet the Cavaliers, but the year before last, the two teams fought many games, and they were red-eyed in the playoffs.

James has not won the championship so far, and it has something to do with the strong rise of the 76ers in the East.

I thought that the Pistons would be followed by the Cavaliers, Bulls and other teams, but in one or two seasons, the 76ers rose strongly, and Wang Tomorrow led the 76ers to win the championship in the second season of coaching, and with the Celtics hugging the team, James felt exhausted.

This year, he was still very young, 24 years old.

This year, he ushered in his important helper - Mo Williams.

After the Bucks disbanded the team, Mo Williams was traded to the Cavaliers, don't look at Mo Williams playing a little alone, but he is the only player other than James who can stand up and score.

And Mo Williams' scoring ability is outstanding.

In the summer, the Cavaliers actually pursued the 76ers' Louis Williams, and the Cavaliers found that they had the right strategy.

James needs such a player, who can attack with the ball, can score on his own, shoot when he catches the ball at critical moments, and can also carry a small pot of teammates.

This season, the Cavaliers have a good record, and prior to this game, the Cavaliers had a 24-4 record and were in first place in the league.

James was named the Eastern Conference Player of the Year for November and possibly the Player of the Month of December.

At this time, the division of James in the East and Kobe Bryant in the West has been formed, and the league is also shaping a beautiful picture of No. 23 vs. No. 24 intentionally or unintentionally.

The 76ers are 19-11, five wins behind the Cavaliers.

At this time, the league has opened the all-star voting channel for this season, and James is second in the first round of voting, behind Dwight Howard of the Magic.

Iverson tops the list of Eastern Conference guards, and becoming an All-Star starting guard this season is almost a foregone conclusion.

It's the 76ers who occupy an impressive number of people on the front line, with Pau Gasol and Millsap in third and fourth, and Andre Iguodala in sixth.

Wang Tomorrow is a little dissatisfied with the league's allocation of all these players to the front line, because the front line is almost locked by James and Garnett, and the rest of the players are all running along.

After the opening ceremony, the starters of both sides took the stage.

Cavaliers starters: Mo Williams, Delonte West, James, Ben Wallace and Ilgoskas.

76ers starters: Allen Iverson, Kyle Korver, Andre Iguodala, Paul Millsap and Dyrem Porter.

King will make another change tomorrow for this game, with Hellham Porter being put in the starting line-up and replacing Safrosa with Kyle Korver, who has a more accurate shot.

Ben Wallace was traded to the Cavaliers last season, and a period with the Bulls turned out to be a career failure.

Today's Ben Wallace is 34 years old, and like Iverson, the height disadvantage is magnified with age, especially on the inside.

It wasn't a good idea to play center again, and Mike Brown simply went the other way and put Ben Wallace as the team's power forward.

In Wang Mingming's view, this is an extremely clever move, Ben Wallace defends the big forward on the defensive end, and on the offensive end, the big Z, who can attack in the low post and shoot in the middle distance, can be used as the No. 4 position.

Although the knight lineup is strange, it has good combat effectiveness.

It was Big Z and Daim Porter who jumped the ball.

Dyreham Porter was particularly excited to return to the starting lineup, jumping high as he jumped the ball and jumped to win the big Z, which was nearly 10 centimeters taller than him, and turned the ball back into the 76ers' half.

The fans at the scene shouted loudly and shouted the slogan "Defense, Defense, ......", obviously also seeing the 76ers as a life-and-death enemy.

The two teams did not have any big grudges, but because of the playoffs, they had a tendency to become mortal enemies.

Iverson dribbled to the frontcourt, and Dareham Porter did a block for Iverson at the top of the arc, and after blocking, he directly used his speed to go down.

Iverson understood, but at this moment, he saw a figure, faintly in the middle of him and Daimpoter.

Frightened, he immediately retracted, dribbled under a beautiful crotch, and stood up sharply.

It's Ben Wallace, Big Ben's defense is unparalleled in the world, although he is old, his consciousness is extremely outstanding.

Iverson didn't dare to take any chances, so he stopped.

Unexpectedly, Mo Williams, who was defending him, flew out suddenly.

"What's the situation?"

Iverson was stunned.

There was a burst of exclamation from the fans at the scene.

Iverson immediately recognized that it was a good opportunity, took aim at the basket on the spot, and made a long two-point jumper.

Hit!

"Awesome, Iverson deserves to be the league's No. 1 ankle finisher!"

The Christmas game was broadcast live across the United States, and TNT invited Reggie Miller to be a guest commentator, and Reggie Miller was amazed and very sympathetic to Mo Williams' defense.

Mo Williams' face was slightly red, and it was so embarrassing to have such a foreign appearance as soon as he came up.

So he pushed forward with the ball and thought about how to get back on the field.

At this time, Ben Wallace actively came out to block and dismantle, and Mo Williams faced Iverson, boldly completed a fake breakthrough on the left side, turned on the right side, and walked to the line.

Single-block cover, facing Pau Gasol who didn't save, jump shot directly!

"Huh!"

Three-point hit!

The fans at the scene cheered, this is Mo Williams, who has shot more than 4-for-3 from three-point range this season, the Cavaliers' No. 1 firepower point on the outside, and James' trusted teammate.

"Good shot!"

Mo Williams drops back and Ben Wallace high-fives.

The two new signings of the Cavaliers have rubbed sparks this season and have a certain chemistry.

The pace of the attack on both sides was not fast, the positional battle, Iverson waited for everyone to come, and then it was still a high block, and Mo Williams went around the defense.

Gasol receives the ball in the low post with his back to the big Z.

Half to the left, to the right, with a wrong step, raise his arms high, and raise the fire to the sky.

With a slight hook, the big Z can't interfere.

"Huh!"

I also hit, and it turned out to be one with footwork and outstanding low-level technology.

This season, Gasol still maintains the efficient level of last season, averaging 17.1 points, 8.9 rebounds and 3.8 assists per game, and his performance is very comprehensive, and he is a consistent scoring point among the 76ers.
