Wilkens does have a lot of coaching experience, but he doesn't have a good idea of how to improve his team's offense, but he doesn't have the slightest clue how to limit the opponent.

With two talented offensive players in hand, Maddy and Carter, it was enough for the 76ers to let others pull away and give them a single shot, but Iverson started to pass the ball to his teammates and it was a headache for him. There is almost no one on the Raptors bench right now who can guard Iverson one-on-one, unless he can really put his heart and soul into getting Maddy to put some of his energy into the defensive end. However, Maddie is not a god either, and it is already a lot of pressure to juggle the playmaking and shooting and scoring at the same time, plus a defense? He's not an alien.

Frustrated, Wilkens failed to come up with any effective tactics in the lounge, only telling others again and again to create offensive space for Maddie and Carter by constantly running positions. Now Wilkens can only count on the two aces in his hand, and if neither of them can turn the tide of the situation, then there is little hope for this match.

After the start of the second half, the Raptors quickly switched to superstar mode, perhaps knowing the importance of this game, Maddie and Carter instantly burst out of their own small universe, and scored consecutive points with inside and outside shots. They played very smartly with pick-and-rolls, and although the quality of the cover for the opposing team was not very high, it was enough, and Bell and Lynch were instantly blinded by their constant rotation, and Maddie took the opportunity to pass the ball to Davis on the inside, who helped him with a lot of assists with mid-range shots.

Seeing that the point difference was about to return to single digits, Iverson, who had been providing assists to his teammates, couldn't help but stand up, and his breakthrough made Davis and Oakley look extremely clumsy. Not to mention Childs on the perimeter, Iverson can often be wiped past him with just a cross-step change of direction, and such a defense is simply useless.

For a moment, the situation on the court looked like Iverson was single-handedly fighting two opponents, which made Brown a little crying and laughing, although it seemed to work well, but the previous arrangement was basically all disrupted. However, this situation is not unexpected at all, he knows very well what kind of character Iverson is, in the first half for the team to shoulder the responsibility of organizing the offense is indeed a little difficult for him, presumably he himself is not very happy, now Maddie and Carter are two people in front of him to score points, with his character is absolutely not backing down, and the same opening of scoring mode is the best response for him.

Although both sides rely on stars to score, there is still a big difference, the 76ers' role players are obviously better than the Raptors' quality, sometimes Iverson himself can't score points and can still share them with teammates, but Maddy and Carter can't score points but can only be distributed to Davis alone, which makes the 76ers players quickly choke their way out.

Seeing through the opponent's line on the basketball court is no different from directly strangling the opponent's offense, because in this way, their routine is only one person holding the ball alone, even if the ball is passed, you have to be careful, you need to be on guard at any time where to stretch out a hand, directly steal the ball and complete the fast break counterattack dunk, such a loss of points The Raptors can't afford to lose.

Wilkens watched from the sidelines as the points between the two sides were almost pulled apart, and his mind was a mess, could such a team really be able to beat by himself? For the first time, Lao Shuai had doubts about himself.

However, Brown and his players did not intend to consider the mood of the opponent, and under Iverson's leadership, the 76ers' offense was almost flawless, and even if there was a slight flaw on the defensive end, it didn't matter. In the end, the score between the two sides was 99-92, and if it weren't for the slight relaxation of the 76ers' bench lineup in garbage time in the fourth quarter, the Raptors would not be able to chase the difference between the two sides back to single digits, which also fully demonstrated the huge difference in strength between the two sides.

But for the 76ers, 2-0 is just the beginning, and the next two games will be played on the Raptors' home court, and they really don't have as much of a win percentage on the road this season as they do at home. However, this is also a common problem for most teams in the NBA, even the top teams in the league, they perform much better at home than on the road most of the time, after all, it is still difficult for some players to play at their full level in the face of constant interference on the sidelines.

The only advantage for the 76ers is that they are in the same division as the Raptors, and although they have to play in Canada, they are not too far away overall, which saves everyone the pain of travel. Of course, Brown doesn't think the Raptors can come up with anything new, in the playoffs, almost no team still has cards in their hands, at this time everyone is comparing physical fitness, heritage and control of details, if you want to have hole cards, you should have used them a long time ago, do you have to wait until now?

Sure enough, the gap in hard power was something that could not be bridged for a while, and in the two games that the 76ers played on the road, the Raptors did not make any mistakes, losing 98-102 and 101-110 respectively. After the fourth game, Maddie deliberately came to the 76ers' area, and he said to Chang Wei in a somewhat confused manner: "Chang, congratulations on advancing to the next round, but with you on this team, is there still a day for us to emerge?" ”

Chang Wei looked at his painful and tangled expression, shook his head and said, "Tracy, this is not like the you I knew before, when did you become so unconfident?" Do you not trust your teammates, or do you not believe in yourself? ”

Maddie's voice was faintly bitter, and he said, "I don't believe it, because you guys are so strong, so strong that it seems like I can't climb a mountain with all my might, should I join a Western team?" ”

"Tracy you're wrong, in this league, competition is everywhere, do you think the best team won't fail? A team as strong as the Bulls back then can't guarantee a game without losing. Football is round, basketball is also the same, strong and weak are only relative, the latter may not be able to defeat the former, of course, the difficulty still exists, which requires you to do better in what you can do, more focus on the details, so that you have a chance to win. ”

"As our head coach said, your future is very bright, don't give up, Tracy, I don't think you are a guy who chooses to run away when you encounter difficulties, if you persevere, the future is your ......"
