At this time, another commentator expressed his opinion, "I think so too, in fact, the 76ers' lineup configuration is very good, but Allen's style of play is too dominant, if it continues, it will be difficult for the 76ers to win!" ”

Both commentators had an indescribable feeling in their hearts that they shouldn't be like this. Judging from the lineup alone, the 76ers are undoubtedly at the forefront of the NBA, but they only have a 4-6 record, and if they continue, the 76ers are only getting farther and farther away from the playoffs.

Although Iverson is like a fighter who can score high points in almost every game, in order to win, he needs to change his style of play, and it is difficult to lead the team forward with individual heroism alone, and he must unite his teammates, but with Iverson's personality, it is almost impossible.

"You're doing a great job, but we're going to change something in the second quarter. Darrell, I hope you can step up your threat on the offensive end and continue to intensify Iverson's desire to attack! I believe that with your strength, you will definitely be able to do this! ”

During the short break, Coach Rivers did not announce a new tactic, but looked at Armstrong with a serious gaze.

Rivers' idea is simple, that is, to continue to intensify Iverson's offensive desire, and he does not want Iverson to continue to maintain this feeling. As long as he feels cool, it's time for the Nets to open the gap.

Darrell Armstrong is 31 years old this year, but no one expected that he would only start to reach his peak at this age.

Armstrong did not participate in the NBA draft, but after graduating, he played in the CBA (Continental Basketball League), the USBL (American Basketball League), and the GBA (Basketball Globe), and even traveled across the ocean to play in the leagues in Spain and Turkey. It was a time of real insecurity, with no place to live and a home from all over the world, but Armstrong had developed a 'plug-and-play' skill in such a difficult environment, and his insight into the real and the real on the pitch was also at its peak.

This 1.85-meter-small man has a heroic posture on the court, he can not only destroy the withering and decay to loot the opponent's position, but also like a dragon flying in the sky.

On top of that, Armstrong has a very regular life and the self-confidence that is characteristic of black people, and his life is basketball first and family second.

Over the years, Armstrong has developed a skill, his breakthrough is strong, and he has excellent assist ability and three-point shooting, and his overall strength is close to the All-Star level.

Last season, Armstrong averaged 13.8 points, 3.6 rebounds and 6.7 assists in 30 minutes per game, winning the Most Improved Player award and finishing second in the Sixth Man of the Year selection, below Chi Liang.

"Coach, I'll do it!" Armstrong raised his head, his eyes were full of confidence, and he also had a strong desire to show for Iverson, the representative of the small player, but he was not the core of the Nets, so he could only try his best to suppress it.

Now that he has the coach's instructions, he doesn't need to continue to suppress.

Soon, the second quarter began, with the 76ers in possession.

The first-round offense was still a one-man performance by Allen Iverson, who used his best butterfly step to break through Armstrong, and then used the toss to score before Ji Liang helped defend.

To be honest, as long as Iverson is in hot form, it will be difficult for the Nets to limit Iverson's offense, but the Nets' offense, the 76ers can't stop it either.

After the transition between offense and defense, Armstrong broke through with the ball, his breakthrough moves were not as fancy as Iverson's, but they were very practical, just two consecutive changes of direction, and after shaking off Iverson's center of gravity, he immediately took a step back, appeared outside the three-point line, and shot a three-pointer.

Swish~

Basketball hollow into the net!

Last season, Armstrong averaged 1.4 of 3.8 three-pointers per game for a 36.5 percent shooting percentage.

In the era of Iron Blood, such a three-point shooting percentage is already very good.

Under his own defense, Armstrong easily shot a three-pointer, which naturally annoyed Iverson, so when it was the 76ers' turn to attack, Iverson once again ignored his teammates and held the ball to break through Armstrong.

This time, Armstrong was not quickly shaken away, barely keeping up with Iverson's pace and blocking Iverson's path.

In this case, Iverson still did not pass the ball, but immediately jumped up and forced a jumper, even though Armstrong tried his best to block, but Iverson felt hot, and finally the basketball fell into the basket.

In the next round, Armstrong took advantage of his running position and scored a two-point goal in the open space while receiving a pass from Ji Liang.

On the other hand, Iverson still chose to go his own way, using Iverson's offensive desire, the Nets players began to consciously increase Iverson's assistance defense and packing, which also made Iverson's situation more difficult, and the difficulty of scoring undoubtedly increased by a notch.

However, Iverson still scored 15 points in the entire second quarter, but his shots increased compared to the first quarter, indicating that his shooting percentage decreased.

On the other side, Armstrong also scored 12 points in a single quarter, and because he played more reasonably, his shooting percentage exceeded Iverson's, and the Nets were more like a whole, which also gave the Nets an advantage in the score.

At halftime, the Nets led the 76ers by seven points with a score of 63:56, and although the lead was not large, the Nets were likely to win the victory as long as Iverson continued.

76ers head coach Larry Brown naturally saw this, and he began to teach Iverson in the hope that Iverson would unite his teammates instead of blindly playing alone.

Iverson did not refuse, but nodded silently, the second quarter shooting rate declined, mainly related to the Nets' encirclement of him, and at the same time, in order to cope with the Nets' encirclement, Iverson also consumed a lot of physical strength, if he continued, it would be difficult for him to play the whole game.

In the third quarter of the game, the two teams still had a fierce battle, and after finding that Iverson was 'dead', Armstrong deliberately provoked several times, but Iverson suppressed the fiery desire to attack.

But in this quarter, it was still the Nets who had the upper hand, with Chi Liang and O'Neal Jr. teaming up for 24 points and 11 rebounds, plus the contributions of other players, the Nets scored 36 points in the third quarter.

As for the 76ers, Iverson, Hughes and Owens are the main offensive players, but due to the disadvantage in rebounding, the efficiency cannot be compared with the Nets, and the Nets lead the 76ers by 15 points with a score of 99:84.

In the fourth quarter of the game, Larry Brown naturally did not give up and continued to play the main game, on the other hand, the Nets also wanted to kill the 76ers as soon as possible, and Chi Liang continued to lead the game.

Iverson didn't give up, and the team fell behind, but his offensive desire was activated again, but it made the 76ers in an awkward position.

After the start of the fourth quarter of the game, Iverson attacked like a flood and did everything he could, even so, he still couldn't narrow the point difference, because Ji Liang broke out and significantly surpassed Iverson in efficiency.

When the game was over, the Nets still defended their home win with a score of 129-108, successfully winning five in a row.

In this game, Ji Liang got 35 points, 11 assists and 13 rebounds, and got a triple-double in three consecutive games.

On the other side, Iverson scored more points, scoring 48 points from the field, shooting just over 40% from the field and only 3 assists, which is why the 76ers lost the game.

After an easy five-game winning streak, the Nets will be put to the test by the Kings, who have an impressive 7-1 record, but the biggest attraction of this game is the forward battle between Ji Liang and Webb.
