McCloitch won the jump ball for the 76ers, and Iverson received the ball and advanced to the frontcourt.

This is the first time the Hawks have played against the 76ers this season, and this year the Hawks can't pay much attention to other teams, early because of the team's chaos and more recently, because of the tight schedule, also can't spare energy.

At the beginning of this game, the Hawks found that the 76ers had changed a lot from last season.

The 76ers didn't press the rhythm, although not to mention how fast the advance was, but it was at least the normal pace of the snail that grinded to the point that the 8-second violation was about to arrive at halftime last season.

Snow pushed over to Iverson, the rest of the 76ers opened up space, Coleman was at a 45-degree angle on the left, Van Horn was in the bottom right corner, Snow ran to the left corner first, McCulkey pulled out for Snow to block, and then McCloche turned and squeezed away from Jason Terry, who was changing his defense, into the interior, Ratliffe and Jason Terry pinched McCulkey and blocked him from letting him inside, at the same time, Iverson used a big stride to get rid of the inexperienced Prince and break through to the three-point line.

Prince played Iverson for the first time, and it felt the same as Liu Mang, who played with Iverson for the first time last year, and was shaken dizzy, Iverson burst into the middle distance, Prince was young and fearless, and rushed back immediately after being shaken, but when Snow, who had finished blocking and dismantling, came around Ratliff to Iverson to block Prince, Iverson stepped on the free throw line and hit a pull-up jump shot.

Liu Mang saw Prince almost sit on the ground by Iverson, and finally found a teammate who felt this feeling for him!

But!

Liu Mang was a little surprised by the 76ers' offense, this offense was too smooth! It took 13 seconds to score the ball, especially the choice after this block, not the common off-ball block and dismantle, but after the off-ball block, using the threat of a big tall cut to attract the pinch, Jason Terry could only block McCulcule, which gave Ratliffe the opportunity to come back and pinch McCulculkey, but this thing happened to be used by the 76ers, Snow took advantage of it to block Iverson undefended, and played his role in avoiding his lack of mid-range shooting ability, After allowing Iverson to break to the three-point line, he can easily make a mid-range pullup jumper.

This tactic is so beautiful!

Although McCulloch's skills are not good, but his body is good, the Canadian white seven-foot big center, can be a second-round pick in 1999, and in the summer of 01, the 76ers can still get a 5-year full middle class with Mutombo, relying on his style of play that attacks the basket even if he is beaten and bleeding, so this kind of baseline no-ball blocking and dismantling is not a small threat.

But these things are what the 76ers have always had, but the 76ers have never used them before this season! The two teams met for the first time this season, and the 76ers used this new tactic to catch the Hawks off guard!

The 76ers are now in this lineup, the space is very open, although Van Horn's overall strength has declined, Liu Mang looked at his ability value before the game, and it dropped to 79 points, but he played the highest efficiency of his career, averaging 20 points, 7 boards and 2 assists per game, and the three-point shooting rate reached a career-high 39 percent.

Coleman's data is not as good as a year, only 10 points and 6 boards per game this season, a career low, 35-year-old his ability value of 72, is also a career low, and he is about to fall out of the NBA's starting level, but the three-point shooting rate has reached a good performance of 33 percent.

McCloch and Snow's ability to run around and block and pick and roll also came into play.

The key is still Iverson!

28 years old is at the peak, ability value 95, offense 99, defense 75, three-point 70, mid-range shooting 85, layup 83, speed 97, strength 76, in addition to the layup because of the height relationship is more difficult, the summer has secretly practiced hard Iverson, in the case of the excellent level of the shooting has reached the top level of the goalkeeper, the three-point has reached the average level of guard players, and the three-point shooting rate of 32 percent has hit a new high since the rookie season.

Although Iverson's scoring this year has dropped sharply compared to last year, "only" averaging 25 points per game, he has a career-high shooting percentage of 44 percent, plus an average of 4 rebounds and 7.5 assists per game, 25+4+7.5 data, which is Iverson's new low score since Jordan retired from dominating the scoring list, and it is also a new high in assists after Iverson averaged more than 25 points per game!

After increasing the outside projection and reducing the inefficient play of scaring the opponent's center to the basket and being taken down, the efficiency has indeed improved a lot, although the sticky ball, every time you hold the ball, you have to shake off the opponent in person, which is still criticized, but if you don't even save this minimum "unique characteristic", he is not Iverson.

Iverson improved his style of play and increased passing, and the 76ers' team offense played much better than before.

The main thing is the current lineup, the offensive side is really suitable for Iverson, the pitcher pulls away, and there is a tough interior and point guard to block and dismantle him.

But on the defensive end, the 76ers lineup can't withstand the bombardment of the Hawks Rahim, originally the 76ers had Mutombo on the inside, Raheem was very sloppy in the low post, and it was very likely to be shaken when he turned in, but now it's different, the 76ers' lineup has improved their offensive end from less than 90 points in the first two seasons to 98 points this season, and the defensive end of the 76ers has slipped from restricting others to only 89 points last season to the midstream level of letting opponents average 96 points per game.

The most painful thing is probably Larry Brown, watching Rahim turn around and pass Van Horn, who looks like he is playing well, and after entering the interior line, his left elbow presses McCloche's right hand and throws the ball into the basket, Larry Brown is very painful.

It's true that the 76ers are in much better shape this year than last season, but Larry Brown doesn't like it.

Raheem also scored a goal and it was time for the 76ers to attack.

Liu Mang stared at Iverson on the sidelines, wanting to see how Iverson is playing now, although there are video clips before the game, but the time is in a hurry, and just like half a season, the 76ers have seven or eight game video clips, and it is really impossible to fully present Iverson's changes, which reflects the benefits of playing the sixth man, you can study the opponent's most difficult person to play on the spot, and because the perspective of the player and the coach is different, the coach is good at controlling the overall situation, and the players themselves are responsible for the small details.

It's the little details that make the difference between a good player and a really good player, and if you rely on the coach's arrangement, the player is only a role player, even if he executes it perfectly.

Snow quickly advanced to the front court again and handed it to Iverson, Prince looked at Iverson so nervous, Prince wanted to guard against Iverson, and at the same time be wary of the possible blocking and dismantling behind him, really Alexander.

The 76ers continued to block and dismantle without the ball on the baseline, and it was still easy for Iverson to break through Prince, but this time Prince kept an eye on it, knowing that he would definitely not be able to block Iverson's breakthrough, so he simply passed by Iverson like a stake, and then chased from behind Iverson, instead of following up sideways, avoiding being blocked by Snow.

The effect was obvious, Prince chased Iverson from behind, Snow had no space to block Iverson, Iverson was afraid of Prince's long arm and couldn't make a quick stop jump shot, and rushed directly to the right side of the three-second zone.

At this time, Jason Terry, who blocked McLoche with Ratliff under the basket, came over and wrapped up Iverson with Prince! Iverson is in a dead end!

Just when Jason Terry raised his hand to block Iverson, Prince was ready to block at any time, Iverson looked like he was in a desperate situation and seemed to be covering under the basket again, Iverson grabbed the ball, stretched the ball out of the bottom line, and threw out the banana ball like a rugby, the ball was "flying off the court", Coleman just ran to the bottom corner to receive the ball with Snow's block, and hit the three-point shot!

Iverson was a double champion and best high school student in Virginia basketball and football in high school, and the reason why he chose basketball was because the average salary in basketball was much higher than that of football, and Iverson, who was still a high school student, never thought that he could become a superstar and get 20 million a year, at that time he just wanted to enter the NBA, make a lot of money, buy a house for his mother and no longer live next to the sewage pipe, so he chose the NBA, which has a base salary much higher than that of the NFL.

Iverson has rarely practiced since winning a scoring title, and he averaged 7.5 assists per game in his rookie season before, and he was very good at this kind of football-style passing after breaking through to the depths of the basket, but since winning the scoring title after the suspension, he has almost forgotten all this, but now Iverson has started practicing these techniques again, and the rookie king who seems to be invincible in scoring and assists in his rookie year is back!

There is always such a person in an era who will promote the progress of the opponent, I don't know if it is Liu Mang's glory or misfortune, because of his existence, his rookie year is so strong, so that others will also improve!
