Any head coach who looks at Davis' 18.1 points, 4.3 rebounds and 8.5 assists per game this season will not consider him the main point of attack for the Hornets, after all, averaging close to 9 assists per game is not something that can be brushed casually, and Marshburn's stats seem to prove it, and he is undoubtedly the Hornets' leading scorer with an average of 21.5 points per game.

But Silas looks like he should have made a plan in advance, and during the time that the starting lineup was on the floor, Davis had a lot of shots, while Marshburn, who was originally the team's leading scorer, was more of a diversion point. Of course, if he needs to play alone, he will never be intimidated, after all, this is a good player with the ball, and he is still good at playing tough battles.

Thanks to Davis' strong play, the Hornets still had a slight lead of 27-24 when the main lineups of the two sides left the game, but then they tasted the bitter fruit of the bench lineup. Magloyle did build a barrier on the inside, but Arenas is no longer the stubborn bull who hit the south wall and didn't look back when he first joined, and when he found that there was no opportunity to take advantage of it, he would pass the ball to Snow in time and let him shoot a three-pointer. And Magloyle's defense is not particularly strong, at least not as good as Mutombo, or even as good as Daimpoter, Arenas can occasionally break through the defense of these two during training, and Magloyl can only watch Arenas score a layup, or take another foul.

For the remainder of the first quarter, Arenas' breakaway became a nightmare for the Hornets, and Magloyle had already committed two personal fouls at the end of the first quarter, both of which were committed on Arenas, considering that Magloyer has averaged only 2.5 fouls per game this season, so you can imagine how lethal Arenas is.

The firepower of the 76ers' bench lineup is indeed far from the main lineup, but that doesn't mean they can't score, and the backcourt duo of Snow and Arenas made a quick draw to help the team quickly tie the score and overtake the score. When they opened up, Teylon Hill and Mutombo also got their chances under the basket, and they still did a very good job of eating cakes, especially Hill, which is what he does best in scoring, and he is quite sharp in blocking and picking.

So at the end of the first quarter, the 76ers took a five-point lead at 37-32 and limited the Hornets' shooting percentage to 37.3 percent, with Lynch, Hill and Mutombo making a big contribution. It was because they battled the Hornets' bench players on the defensive end that Snow and Arenas were able to score points on the offensive end without any scruples.

This gave Silas a full glimpse of the power of the 76ers bench in playoff mode, and he had to further reduce the rest of his main lineup, allowing Mashburn and Davis to get back into the roster at the start of the second quarter. Brown continued to play on the bench with grace, and although Davis was a great threat to defenders, Arenas was not a vegetarian either, and the points Davis got on Snow basically allowed Arenas to get back on Wesley's head.

Looking at the situation on the court, Silas's face was so dark that it seemed like it was about to drip water, although he didn't have much confidence in the team to reach the second round of the playoffs at the beginning, but after all, he still had a little luxury, but the 76ers used their absolute advantage to tell him, don't think too much, go back to wash and sleep early! Silas did count on Davis to cause problems for the 76ers, and he did, but Davis' advantage over the 76ers' guard base was largely wasted on the defensive end, so what good was that?

Campbell and Brown are also good interior players, two guys over 2.10 meters tall have built a no-fly zone under the basket, but people don't play with you on the inside, what's the use of you having a no-fly zone? The routine of the 76ers' main lineup is actually very simple and crude, Dale Porter grabs two on the inside, and by the way, there is a second offense, and the other four people continue to play breakthrough tactics, and then desperately fire on the outside, when the Hornets put on a double tower, it means that they can only maintain a three-on-four situation in the middle distance and outside the three-point line, which makes them constantly leak people who are not very good defensively.

And in this game, the 76ers' outside shooters feel so good that as long as they are given space to shoot, the shooting percentage is still very high. Especially Lewis, who is 2.08 meters tall, is simply a behemoth in front of the Hornets' outside players, basically no one can make effective interference when he shoots, and the 76ers opened the difference to double digits before the second quarter is halfway through, such a performance naturally relieved the home fans, and it seems that the strength of the visiting team in the first quarter is just an illusion.

Silas is also helpless, Davis is still trying to hit Iverson with his back, but the 76ers are obviously on guard, Dyrem Porter is ready to come over under the basket at any time to make up for the defense, whether Davis is turning and breaking through or shooting, he can make the right response, which makes Davis's offensive efficiency drop a lot, at least the shooting percentage is not as perverted as in the first quarter.

This made Brown breathe a sigh of relief, and with the help of Bowler in Dareham, Iverson should not be as sad as before. In fact, everyone sweated for this small point guard in the first quarter, Iverson is good at speed, and he is a scum in terms of strength, and in the face of a strange point guard with a power-based style of play like Davis, it will not be him if he is not sad.

After solving Davis's problem, the Hornets are basically no threat. Bell has grown into a reliable wing gate, and Mashburn's offensive kaleidoscope can't make any waves in front of him, after all, even Kobe Bryant has to be deflated, and Mashburn, a small forward who is still in his prime but has become a little outdated, doesn't have such a big ability to kill Bale.

The 76ers have been in control of the situation on the court since the second quarter, and the strong play of the Hornets in the opening game was like a drop of water in the ocean, without even a ripple. They even turned the entire fourth quarter into garbage time, eventually beating the Hornets 112-90 to get the first round of the playoffs off to a good start. To be honest, in this game, except for a few point guards, the 76ers played very easily, and it can be regarded as sacrificing a few people to be happy, as long as they can win.

Chang Wei also secretly breathed a sigh of relief, although Davis did not find out in time in the face of Iverson's advantage that it was not his pot, but in his opinion, Davis is also a player he is more familiar with, and it is his fault that he did not find out in time. Fortunately, the 76ers still won a big victory, and if they lost to Davis, he really didn't know how to face the identity of the reborn.
