The Hornets aren't a strong team, and Chang Wei knows they'll be moving to New Orleans and changing their name to the New Orleans Hornets after the season. However, in 2004, Charlotte will have a new team, the Charlotte Bobcats, and ten years later it will be successfully changed to the Charlotte Hornets, and then carry on the history of the current team.

However, they are not a very competitive team either in the future or now, although their squad this season is not bad. The backcourt combination of Byron Davis and David Wesley, neither of whom is unknown, Davis is still a member of the Golden State gang in the future, and the only drawback may be that they are not particularly tall; The main small forward Mashburn, who formed the "Dallas 3J" with Kidd and Jimmy Jackson that year, set off a youth storm in the league; The inside duo of Eldon Campbell and PJ Brown, both of whom are 2.11m tall, is a typical twin-tower combination.

Of course, their substitution is a weakness, and in Chang Wei's opinion, only Magloyl can fight, and the others are basically small characters that they haven't heard much of. The team's weak bench lineup also saw the team have two players who played more than 40 minutes per game during the regular season this season, and Wesley also played 37.1 minutes, which is undoubtedly the typical example of a ruthless main player who does not care about the bench.

It doesn't seem like you need to be too careful against such a team, otherwise the huge gap between the two would be a complete joke. But the 76ers don't know what will happen to them, even Chang Wei, he just feels that the Hornets lineup is not bad, that's all, and he doesn't see any threat at all.

However, in the first offensive round of the Hornets in the first game, the eyes of the whole 76ers team almost fell out, and Chang Wei even scolded his mother fiercely in his heart, why did the gap between these two people be ignored directly?

In terms of overall strength, Iverson is much better than Byron Davis, he was the top pick of the golden generation in 1996, and he is also a regular on the All-Star team, winning scoring and steals, and led the 76ers to the top last season, but what about Davis? Although he was also a 1999 scout, he has only had one All-Star bench experience so far, and Iverson has a greater advantage in this regard, and the two are not at the same level at all, at least not now.

But everyone ignored one problem, Iverson is 1.83 meters tall and weighs 75 kilograms, and Davis is 1.91 meters and weighs 95 kilograms. Height advantage aside, the huge difference of 20 kilograms is enough for Davis to form a direct crush on Iverson, and now everyone intuitively sees the difference in strength between the two: Davis directly beats Iverson in the low back!

It's not a defender's skill, at least not a common one, but Davis is using it just right at this time, and his size advantage is just too great. Despite the fact that Wesley looks thinner, Hornets head coach Silas uses Wesley as a point guard, and the taller and stronger Davis is placed at point guard. If it weren't for the Hornets playing like this all season, Brown would have really thought it was a change of formation that Silas had deliberately made to deal with Iverson.

Iverson's good tackle has no room for Davis's big ass at all, and the only thing he can do is blushing and pushing against Davis's steps, but he is still pushed back again and again by the opponent. Perhaps it was almost the same feeling, Davis finally pushed hard behind him, and he turned around and made a jumper, and the basketball went into the basket, leaving Iverson in the same place with a sad and angry face.

Are you still a point guard? Does a point guard have such a style of play? Iverson couldn't wait to ask the sky speechlessly, he has been in the league for almost six seasons, and it is not that he has not played against Davis before, but Davis has not become the team's main point guard before, and the two sides have not played each other much, and Davis does not have so many shots, so he is stunned now.

The Hornets are not a team with a very slow pace of play, but Davis's slow offensive pace has undoubtedly been tacitly approved by Silas, and indeed, against a team like the 76ers who are among the top in the league, it is very good to be able to ensure scoring efficiency, who cares if the scoring is fast or slow? In fact, before the game began, Silas instructed Davis to try to get the ball in the low post, and he knew that Brown would definitely not have thought of such a tactic, and the academy coach was definitely not mentally prepared for the low post single of the guard.

Brown wasn't mentally prepared, he couldn't bear to look at it now. It's not like he didn't think about replacing Iverson, but who else can he rely on? Not to mention the 76ers, the whole league basically can't get this tonnage of point guards, even if they are replaced by Snow or McGee, they can't please it, Iverson can still contribute on the offensive end to offset his vulnerabilities on the defensive end, and if you make substitutions, you may not be able to make up for the lost points on the offensive end.

By the time the two sides switched to the rotation lineup, Iverson, who had finally left the game, was almost crying, and he found out for the first time that the game was so difficult. Although he has a decent 8 points and 3 assists in that time, Davis has 12 points and 4 assists across from him, and those 12 points are basically on him. As a player in the top five odds for MVP this season, it is an absolute shame to be beaten up in such a miserable appearance.

But there's nothing Brown can do, and so is Chang Wei, and Davis is a bug on the defensive end, unless the 76ers have a good defensive guard to stand up to him, and preferably a big guard who can swing to the small forward position at any time. Bale is a good choice, but unfortunately he has to compete with Marshburn, this guy is the Hornets' scoring leader this season, if Bale is asked to defend Davis, then what about Marshburn? Let him go crazy and cut points?

This is obviously impossible, so at least in this series, the 76ers' point guards will be ravaged by Davis, after all, no one wants to be beaten by a guy who weighs a lot more than themselves in a row, and the most important thing is that the guards have always been accustomed to the opposing players holding the ball with their backs, that's because they just want not to be stealed, and being singled is a very novel experience, but the feeling of this experience is not very good, the only good news is, Davis can't score forty or fifty points a game and help the team win the game, no matter how good he is, he is still the assist king of the Hornets, and tandem is his main business.
