Chapter Thirty-Eight: Fierce Ai

Wang Tomorrow looked at it, and 5% of the state of the "Stadium Commander" skill was just added to Iverson's body.

The probability of 1 in 22 happened to be encountered, so Iverson dispelled the negative impact in the opening game, with an ability rating of 93 (+2) and an offensive overall rating of 97 (+2).

Iverson's brilliant pass spanned the entire half, and it had the air of Steve Nash.

But Iguodala missed a three-point shot after receiving the ball and smashed the frame wide.

Josh Smith grabbed the rebound as if he was going to heaven.

The Eagles are simply a track and field team, especially the players who don't have to be too different.

In addition to Josh Smith, Harrington, the former player who is now the 76ers, and Sheldon Williams, who was selected in this year's draft, are all this style, can run and jump, are physically strong, and have excellent mobility, as if they are going to race against people.

But with so many super athletic players, the head coach chose the conservative Mike Woodson.

Woodson asked the hot-headed players to slow down and stay grounded.

So the 76ers easily retreated.

The Hawks' leading scorer, Joe Johnson, known as the "King of the Eagles", is particularly fond of positional offense, a series of dazzling runs down, low elbows, he receives the ball, and then faces the defending Kevin Ollie, and shakes off a jumper from the middle range.

Deviation.

"The Eagles' attack is a bit watery!" Wang Tomorrow turned to Randy Ayes and discussed.

Ayas pricked up his ears and listened attentively, "What do you say?" ”

"This series of baseline cover tactics is a bit similar to our 76ers in the 00-01 season, but we don't play like this now, but after the pocket is out, Josh Johnson is on the strong side, there is still Josh Smith standing there, and he is not ready to open up the space at all, and he can attack the basket and shoot from the middle range, but in the end he can only choose the middle range, and there are many fewer changes."

"Maybe Josh wants to go, the young man hasn't understood this tactic yet, and he hasn't found a position, right?"

Randy Ayes doesn't believe Woodson is at this level, because Woodson used to be a colleague of Randy, and both were assistant coaches to the Pistons Larry Brown during the 03-04 season, and won the NBA championship with Larry Brown.

Of course, because of this championship, the two have risen in value, and Woodson has been given the opportunity to coach the Hawks in Atlanta.

"It's possible!"

Wang Tomorrow slapped his thigh, thinking that what Ayes said made sense.

Cheeks did not adopt Wang's tactical philosophy of "let Iguodala organize the attack" and still followed last season's style of play, even relying more on Allen Iverson due to the departure of Chris Webber.

Iverson was in great shape and lived up to Cheeks' responsibility, scoring 13 points on 5-of-7 shooting in the first quarter, including four mid-range shots, and two of them were layups after the interior.

The speed of the defense is fast, Iverson enters the penalty area, there are at least 4 big hands waiting for him, and the space is too small.

Chris Webber faced his old master, and he really held his breath, using various steps on the inside, misplaced and attacking, and Dalem Porter received 2 fouls in less than 5 minutes.

When Dyham Porter came off the court, Chris Webb glanced arrogantly at the 76ers bench and looked directly at Wang tomorrow.

Then he made a gesture of spreading his hands, arrogant.

This immediately ignited the media's news capture sensitivity and became one of the important tidbits of this game.

As a substitute, Cheeks arranged an eight-man rotation.

In addition to Steven Hunter, who came on early as a big center, Kyle Korver was also replaced, as well as Willie Green, Andre Iguodala was moved to the position of power forward, with 1 big and 4 small on the court.

Harrington's performance in the first quarter of his 76ers debut was average, mainly because he didn't touch the ball much, and he didn't make one shot yet.

Iverson and Iguodala continued on the field.

The 76ers slowly gained some advantage, opening up the deficit in the second quarter to 49-36 and leading the Hawks into the second half.

Seeing that Iverson was in such a good state, Cheeks arranged a mid-range cover for a high school forward, allowing Iverson to attack around the pile, as for whether it was a mid-range shot or a breakthrough layup, it all depended on Iverson's own mood.

The audience was chanting "Son of Philadelphia", and the atmosphere was even more enthusiastic than at the beginning.

Iverson used his unsolvable mid-range jumper to keep piercing the Hawks' nets.

The Hawks launched a counterattack in the third quarter, and Webb also opened from mid-range, hitting two consecutive shots on a familiar court to force the score to only 4 points.

"Chris Webb doesn't score many points, and locking up Joe Johnson is the top priority." Wang reminded Cheeks of this timeout tomorrow.

Cheeks was originally going to strengthen the interior defense, but was suddenly woken up by Wang Mingming, interior scoring is not the Eagles' strong point, you know, Chris Webb occupies the position, it turned out to be Zaza Pachulia - a young blue-collar Georgian interior lineman, I heard that boxing is better than basketball.

"Saab, it's your job for the next half of the game, come on, show the fans what you're capable of." Remembering this year's lotto show, Cheeks patted Safrosa on the shoulder as a sign of encouragement.

In the second half of the third quarter, Saflosa made his NBA debut.

With no offensive assignments scheduled, Safrosa just needs to use his kraft candy defense to keep an eye on Joe Johnson.

Joe Johnson would have been happy that the 76ers actually brought on a rookie, didn't that send him to score?

But after a few rounds, he couldn't laugh.

This rookie defense is more mature than the veteran, never makes a steal, and never makes extra moves, just desperately sticks to him with his chest, extremely tenacious, nothing else can interfere with him, disrupt Joe Johnson's catch, force Joe Johnson to dribble with his non-dominant hand, and the rhythm is just right.

Saflosa didn't do anything else on the offensive end, ambushed outside the three-point line, and was ready to catch the ball and shoot a three-pointer.

He didn't score a single point after he came on the court, and he only had one rebound on the front, but the plus/minus was as high as +12, and the 76ers quickly pulled away again.

As Wang tomorrow said, Chris Webb's score can't explode, and he can't beat the 76ers.

But Iverson could, with an explosive output of 40 points in the third quarter.

In the final quarter of the game, with the decline in physical strength, Iverson's scoring momentum also declined, but the 76ers basically controlled the overall situation, the Hawks were unable to fight back, and they could not retract the score several times, and in 5 minutes, Woodson had to change to the third-line lineup and announced his surrender.

In garbage time, Paul Millsap and Louis Williams, the two kings of the summer league, will play tomorrow.

Louis Williams, who held back the whole game, came out with a long-range dry three-pointer from the outside, completely devoid of tactics, forgetting that this was the regular season and not the summer league.

Cheeks shook his head, displeased.

Paul Millsap's performance lit up Cheeks' eyes, and the opposing player in garbage time shot 0-of-3 and relied on a beautiful mid-range jumper himself to score the first point in the NBA.

At the end of the game, the 76ers defeated the Hawks by 15 points 94-79, changing the decline of the preseason and raising their eyebrows.

Chris Webb failed to make his pre-match victory declaration, and as soon as the game was over, he hurried out of the arena, didn't even attend the press conference, and forgot to shake hands with Iverson.

Iverson, who scored 42 points, became the focus of attention and was surrounded by media reporters.

Iverson was in a good mood and expressed his intention not to leave the team.

'In the off-season we had a few changes to our roster but we were still very competitive, we brought in a lot of quality players, Al Harrington, Tyronn Lue and so on, and today's win speaks for itself and I'm looking forward to the next games.'
