After winning four straight games, the Nets are rushing back to New Jersey for a home game against the 76ers.

This 76ers team, although it has not yet stepped into its peak, is not far from the peak, not to mention that Iverson is still at his peak.

There's no doubt that the 76ers aren't a team to mess with.

Looking at the 76ers' lineup, it is actually not weak, in addition to Iverson, there are Theo Latrife, Tony Kukoc, Larry Hughes and Billy Owens.

These guys all have good quality and are considered to be famous players in the league, especially Ratliff, who is at the top of the league in defense and is about to reach his prime, winning three blocks and two times of the All-Defensive Second Team in the future.

Needless to say, Kukoc is a Croatian professional basketball player and the main bench player for the Chicago Bulls during their dynasty. In the last shrinking season, Kukoc became the leader of the Bulls, leading the team in points, rebounds and assists, averaging 18.8 points, 7 rebounds and 5.3 assists per game, ranking 19th in the NBA in points per game, giving people the feeling of being an all-around small forward, but unfortunately last season's Bulls record was outrageously bad, and then drew the top pick, and after selecting Brand, Kukoc was sent to the 76ers.

Larry Hughes and Chi Liang are the same rookies, and were once known as "Big Iverson", but his biggest feature is defense, and now he has some skills.

By the way, there's also Bruce Bowen, who is still playing soy sauce with the 76ers, and his position is more awkward, between the fringe and the main bench.

Compared to the 6-3 Nets, the 76ers have a slightly worse record at 4-6, but they also have an advantage because of the Nets' back-to-back games in this game.

Against Ji Liang this time, Iverson hopes to take a win away in New Jersey.

On the evening of November 20th, Rutgers Athletic Center!

At seven o'clock, the Rutgers Athletic Center arena was already full of Nets fans, and the Nets had won four consecutive victories, especially in these four games, Chi Liang exploded, pushing the data to an average triple-double per game, and ranking first in the scoring list and assist list.

Such a result naturally made Nets fans ecstatic, and they hoped that the Nets could win one game at home and win five in a row.

After the warm-up of the two sides, under the instructions of the referee, the two teams sent their starters and started playing.

Nets

Center: O'Neill Jr

Power forward: Chi Liang

Small forward: Newman

Quarterback: Billups

Point Guard: Armstrong

76ers

Center: Ratliff

Power forward: George Lynch

Small forward: Aaron McGee

Shooting guard: Eric Snow

Point guard: Iverson

Among them, Kukoc was affected by injuries and did not play, and Owens and Larry Hughes were on the bench, and they became bench bandits for the 76ers.

Judging from the starting lineup, although the 76ers are not bad, they are still a step worse than the Nets, mainly depending on Iverson's performance.

At the beginning of the first quarter of the game, O'Neal Jr. relied on his height and arm span advantage to beat Ratliff to grab the ball, Armstrong broke through with the ball, but Iverson followed very closely, and he was also a small player, but Iverson's explosiveness was even more than Armstrong.

Outside the three-point line, seeing that there was no chance, Armstrong handed over the basketball to Chi Liang to deal with, and his opposing player was George Lynch, who was only 203 cm and 99 kg, how could he limit Chi Liang.

Without any fancy moves, Ji Liang took advantage of his strength and easily left Lynch and burst into the restricted area to score a slam dunk.

It's his home stadium and he's got to play with momentum.

Rushing~

After Ji Liang scored, the basketball fans were elated, and the arena was filled with applause and cheers for a while.

Seeing Lynch being scored by Chi Liang so easily, Iverson had the urge to scold the street, but he still endured it and began to lead the team's offense.

After serving, Iverson controls the basketball, his ball control and speed combined, known as the 'butterfly through the flower step', he does a good job of catching and grasping the timing of the breakthrough, coupled with the extremely fast speed, which makes his breakthrough extremely difficult to defend, watching Iverson's steps and flower arrangements before the breakthrough, always gives people an artistic enjoyment.

Without hesitation, Iverson broke through Armstrong's defense and entered the penalty area in three or two steps, even if Chi Liang tried his best to help defend, but Iverson was too flexible to limit him, and finally Iverson used the throw to easily score two points.

Chi Liang was a little helpless, after all, Iverson scored easily under his assistance, but Chi Liang also knew that the height gap between the two was too big, and they could be easily beaten by Iverson, what they could do now was to work hard to score while reducing Iverson's scoring efficiency.

In the first quarter of the game, the Nets strengthened their offense, and Ji Liang still controlled the ball, and under his organization, the Nets blossomed in many places, but did not gain the upper hand.

However, the 76ers are also good, especially Iverson, even if Armstrong tries his best to defend, Chi Liang also helps defend from time to time, but it is still difficult to limit Iverson's play.

However, Iverson's hand is still very good, and under his personal ability, the two teams played inextricably, and they saw that the scores were constantly staggered, and no one had the upper hand.

After the official timeout, the two sides sent a replacement lineup, and the Nets had a strong replacement lineup, but the 76ers did not show weakness either, and they sent a backcourt combination of Larry Hughes, Owens and Bowen that was no worse than the Nets' backcourt.

Since there is not much difference in efficiency between the two sides, by the end of the first quarter, the scoring gap between the two teams is very small, and it will be difficult for the Nets to beat the 76ers back-to-back.

In the first quarter of the game, judging from the scores of both sides, it seems that they performed very well, but compared to the Nets that have blossomed for many years, the performance of the 76ers is relatively average, because Iverson dominates a lot of shots, resulting in other players basically not playing much.

Among the 76ers players, only Iverson is comfortable playing, and the other players are naturally very uncomfortable, and they also feel a little uncomfortable.

In the first quarter of the game, Iverson's presence was explosive, it can be said that he was omnipresent, Armstrong was completely blown up, scoring 18 points in a single quarter, and even so, he could only tie with the Nets.

On the other hand, unlike Iverson, Chi Liang reduced his individual scores, but his performance can be described as omnipotent, playing 9 minutes in the first quarter, he got 11 points, 5 assists and 3 rebounds, while Iverson, he only had 1 assist, and he was completely destroyed in the organization.

Statistically, Iverson is more of a scorer, he is often hot-headed and has a strong desire to attack, so he often forgets to organize the team's offense.

Seeing Iverson's performance, the on-site commentator could only sigh and say: "If it weren't for Iverson's play, the Nets would have already gained the upper hand!" However, I'm still more optimistic about the Nets because they work better together, thanks to Ji Liang, who has a really good organization and a bit of a Princeton feel. ”
