As soon as Iverson entered the league, his fame rivaled that of Grant Hill and Hardaway "Penny", not only because of his outstanding strength and handsome appearance, but because he was regarded as a hero by black Americans early on, and this matter dates back to 1993......

At the time, Iverson Jr., who was only 16 years old, and three friends got into an argument with a group of white teenagers at a bowling alley, which quickly escalated into a brawl involving more than 50 people, and more than 20 people were seriously injured in the fierce battle. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 The Info District Court quickly handed down a verdict in the case: the white man involved in the brawl was given a light sentence, while the four black culprits were sentenced to 15 years in prison, and Iverson was sentenced to five years in prison for leading the trouble.

This incident was once regarded as the most obvious case of racism and violence by the black community, and after the court verdict, protests continued, and some wealthy black people were willing to pay out of their own pockets to help these imprisoned fellow citizens, and Iverson was the target of many black athletes.

The incident was so dramatic that in December 1993, with the help of the NAACP, Iverson won the case and was released on parole after only four months in prison.

Later, this nationally famous black juvenile delinquent has now become the No. 1 guard in college basketball in the United States, and one of the best college quarterbacks in the United States.

The media was most willing to report on this kind of athlete with strong contrast, and slowly, the black community not only regarded him as an idol, but even regarded him as a racial spokesperson.

And these are the reasons why Zhang Wei has always shown favor to Iverson, don't be naïve to think that he will be so optimistic about a guy who may be less than 180cm tall, to put it bluntly, this is business blowing each other.

Of course, Iverson will not refute Zhang Qi's face, how to say that Koala Baby is also the second person after Jordan, although his qualifications are still much worse, but his face is very big, and basically no star-level player is willing to take the initiative to offend him.

After all, this handsome man has a high appearance that is common to all over the world, and there are many people who hate him, but there are as many people who like him, and there are hundreds of millions of existences on both sides.

Speaking of games, the 76ers are the Philadelphia team, which is the fifth largest city in the United States with a population base of millions, and it is inevitable that the ball market will be hot.

The 76ers are a veteran team that joined the league in the 60s, and won three NBA championships in the 50s, 60s and 80s, and have basically always been the top teams in the league.

In this way, not only because the 76ers have won 3 championships, but also because this team has many legendary stars, such as Wilt Chamberlain, Julius Irving, Moses Malone, Charles Barkley and other superstars have been on this team for a long time, this is a team that has never lacked superstars.

This season's 76ers are not weak on paper, in addition to the selection of the champion Iverson, they also have last season's Tanhua Starkerhouse, "low-profile Barkley" Clarence Weatherspoon, and 1990's ghost champion Derrick Coleman, currently only the center position, or the No. 3 position is relatively weak.

Speaking of which, the 76ers are also one of the teams competing for Mutombo in the summer, but unfortunately they are far less attractive than the Lakers, who didn't even bother to look at the 76ers in the first place.

Now, the results of both teams also prove that Mutombo was right in the first place. Although Iverson, a rookie, has good potential, he is still a lot worse than Zhang Mao. And you must know that although the koala baby entered the NBA a year before Iverson, he is only 19 years old, and the latter is already 22 years old.

"That Coleman and Weatherspoon are not easy to deal with!"

Mason is familiar with Weatherspoon and Coleman, and he has played against them many times before, the former is an all-around four or five and the latter is a short two-way forward, and Mason has no advantage in the history of opposing these two, especially against Coleman.

Speaking of the Lakers' "murderer" Mr. Zhang, after getting along for the past two months, he basically figured out his character, and he just had one word "inferiority".

That's right, this guy looks fierce and vicious, with a tough style of play, but deep down he has low self-esteem, this kind of person wants to be recognized and respected by others, so he always makes himself look more like a leader, usually likes to loudly criticize the mistakes of his teammates, and before the war, he will inadvertently mention his combat experience and express his opinions, he thinks that these gestures can improve his prestige.

In short, he needs to make himself have a high presence, but in Zhang Mao's eyes, this is definitely not a bad thing, because players with such a mentality will definitely not relax their training and will do their best in the game. Since you need the recognition and respect of others, you have to work harder to show that people respect your performance and training attitude.

Mutombo is different, his attitude towards basketball is more like a "game", except that the game must be "won" to make people happy and gain money. However, he is reluctant to interfere with his teammates' training and games, he is the kind of character who goes with the flow and is at ease with what happens, so he hopes that his teammates are all powerful and serious guys, then he can really watch the clouds roll in the sky.

Zhang Qiu not only figured out the personalities of his two insiders, but he also knew what kind of player this Coleman was. This person got 18+10 data that surpassed many stars in the rookie season, nearly 20+10 data in the second season, and then 20+10 for three consecutive seasons, you must know that this is in the heyday of the 90s on the inside, so the gold content of this data is very high.

The Lakers' scouting report also praised his impeccable skills, top-of-the-line basket and rim skills, above-average rebounding blocks and low-post defense, which can bring the league's belly Nets to the playoffs in a row, which is a recognition of his ability to lead the team.

Tragically, Coleman, like many of his predecessors, suffered a serious injury last season that cost him the season as he was on the rise, which is why the 76ers were able to pick the top pick this year. After his comeback this season, his boss position was immediately snatched away by Iverson, and his competitive standards began to decline.

But this is not a bad thing for the 76ers, after Coleman returns this season, they are equivalent to two champions in hand, and there is a Stackhouse who played at a quasi-All-Star level in his rookie season last year, and a low-profile version of Barkley, such a lineup as long as Iverson and Stackhouse grow up, and then strengthen the center position, or get a reliable small forward to return Weatherspoon to the No. 4 position, the 76ers are a team with championship strength.

The Lakers put a lot of effort into this game before the game, who told them that they have lost two in a row, and losing another game is not only unacceptable to Lakers fans, Zhang Fu is the first to stand it! Because that means 70+ wins are just a bubble, and the Bulls didn't lose three in a row last season, and they only had one or two straight defeats, which came late in the season.

The 76ers also want to win this home court, they are a lot worse than the Lakers in terms of strength, but the Lakers, who have lost two in a row, are obviously not in good shape, and this is the best chance to beat them.

Iverson's side, although he also blows a wave of business to Zhang Zhu before the game, he has never served anyone in his heart, including Jordan is also the object of challenge in his mind, which shows that in the point that newborn calves are not afraid of tigers, Iverson is not far behind Zhang Zhu.

The "Wajovia Center" is a new arena that the 76ers just opened this year, and it is enough to accommodate 20,444 people.

When Zhang appeared on the field, he quickly saw at least thousands of Asian faces in the arena.

But it didn't surprise him, if Iverson is a black icon, then he is the pride of yellow people around the world, with thousands of Asians and Chinese Americans supporting him every game.

What really surprised Zhang Wei was that there were many white fans in the 76ers' home court who were also wearing his jerseys, and three or four percent of the home fans on both sides combined were supporting him. And what's interesting is that these yellows and whites basically sit in the middle and front rows, especially in the best positions in the front row, eighty percent of the people sitting are yellow and white, but most of the black fans sit in the middle and back rows.

This made Zhang Zhu think that he was playing at home, the fans in the middle and back rows were too far away from the stadium, and he couldn't see clearly no matter how good his eyes were, while in the front row, most of them were fans wearing his jersey, holding his portraits and banners, cheering for him.

Iverson was very unhappy in his heart, don't look at him now being regarded as an idol by Americans, but there may be more people who hate him than people who like him, who told him to represent the black camp in that brawl, and the injuries were also white, which makes how white people who have always discriminated against blacks can regard him as an idol.

Therefore, whenever Iverson does not perform well, the strength of the mainstream media is probably heavier than Zhang Zhu, after all, the latter represents the elite class, and the mixed-race identity can make some white people accept him, David Stern also values Zhang Qi more in his heart, and the league will support Hill, Hardaway and Iverson this year, nothing more than to prepare to find some opponents for Zhang Qi after Jordan retires.

If one person can't beat the koala baby, then the three-English battle koala is also a good point to watch.

Lakers starters: Van Exel, Finley, Zhang, Mason, Mutombo.

76ers starters: Iverson, Stark House, Weatherspoon, Coleman, Williams.

Zhang Qi glanced at Witherspoon, who was bloated and heavier than himself, and secretly said, "It's good to be young."

He knew that this guy was also a dunk player when he was younger, and the Lakers' scouting report listed the 1993 slam dunk contest rankings: Harold Miner in first place, Clarence Witherspoon in second place, and Sebaros in third place.

Therefore, youth is really capital, youth is really wealth, Cebaros rarely dunked last season, and he couldn't see that he won the championship of the dunk contest at all. And the 260-pound Witherspoon in front of him is the same, not an old fan must not have imagined that this thing was also a bull fork who almost won the slam dunk contest back then.

However, Witherspoon's form has been declining rapidly this year, mainly due to the team's ability to switch to the No. 3 position, which he is not good at, and secondly, to clash with Iverson's style. He is a player who needs to enter the position to use strength and low-post skills to play hard, but the team's new core Iverson is a ball bully who needs to control the ball for a long time, and the No. 2 man Stackhouse also needs to take the ball to play, in addition to the interior core Coleman, how can there be a chance for Witherspoon to perform.

Mutombo won the jump ball again, and the Lakers' winning percentage in the jump ball stage has improved dramatically this season, and Mutombo's long arms are too strong.

Van Exel still touched the basketball in the opening stanza and then immediately handed it to Zhang.

"This guy is 260 pounds?"

After Zhang Yu dribbled to the frontcourt, he stopped a few steps away from the three-point line, and his eyes began to spin on the opponent's bloated figure, a guy who was at least 3cm shorter than himself actually weighed 20 pounds more than himself, can such a body type play the No. 3 position?

The head coach of the 76ers, Davis, also knows that it is helpless to use the fat Witherspoon to play small forward, who called them another No. 3 Mark Davis Although he is in good shape, he is in a hurry to defend himself, and in short, he has no brains, and this kind of player will be beaten out of against any star-level opponent.

But isn't Witherspoon going to be beaten out of the?

The answer, of course, is "yes"!

Witherspoon's figure really has no future to play the No. 3 position, "Barkley Jr" is not the original version after all, Zhang Zhu's first offense was like breaking through the air, and he instantly hit the inside line, and he rushed to Williams, the center who was not yet Witherspoon's heavy, and played a 2+1 under the basket.

"It's so easy!"

Zhang Zhu is not pretending to be pressing, due to the defensive rules, the 76ers' defenders can only be caught after he has the ball, but considering his outstanding passing vision, most teams dare not easily wrap Zhang Zhu, especially on the outside, otherwise the long shots of Fan Maniac and Finley are enough to kill any team.

But the problem is that it is too difficult for interior players to make up for defense, especially a guy like Witherspoon, he can't cause a slight delay to Zhang Mao's breakthrough, if Zhang Zhu didn't want to make a foul just now, Williams wouldn't have had time to make up for the defensive position.

Lakers players will deploy at least three players on the weak side when attacking today, which is clearly to let Zhang Fu go to the strong side to eat Witherspoon, and the other players of the 76ers will not have time to make up for the defense, Zhang Qi can score almost whenever he wants to score, and do whatever he wants.

Interestingly, the 76ers also played this way on the offensive end, they also moved all the outside lines to the far end of the weak side, and then watched Iverson use the league's top speed + ball handling ability to force Van Exel.

In another time and space, many people were surprised that Iverson was able to lead the team to the finals alone! Of course, this cannot be denied that he is indeed strong and terrible, but it is also related to the rules of the time. After 1994, the restrictions on illegal defending remained, but the anti-isolation rule was removed, making star singles a staple of all teams almost instantly.

In fact, if it weren't for the huge change in the rules of the NBA after 02, the Pistons' civilian legion would not have appeared, otherwise the restrictions of the two rules of "illegal defense" and "no joint defense" alone would have doomed a team without a superstar to win the championship.

As a result, fans saw a picture of their long aesthetic fatigue -

The Lakers players pulled away, Zhang Qi singled, and scored.

The 76ers pulled away, and Iverson singled and scored.

The Lakers players pulled away, Zhang Qi singled, and made fouls.

The 76ers players pulled away, and Iverson singled and made a foul.

The Lakers players pulled away, Zhang Qi singled, and burst into assists.

The 76ers players pulled away, Iverson singled, and burst into assists.

…………

Well, it looks like the process is pretty much the same, but the success rate of the two is different, and there are many reasons for this, mainly the difference in physical fitness, and the difference in the team's defensive ability, which are the two factors that affect the efficiency of singles the most.

Unfortunately, Zhang Zhu has a big advantage in these two important factors, Iverson originally had a home advantage, but when I saw a large number of fans supporting Zhang Zhu in the front seats, I should be able to guess how unwilling Iverson was at this time.

This kind of situation of not being supported by the home fans at home will not be able to calm down if no one is replaced.

Iverson didn't feel the atmosphere of the home stadium at all today, although the black fans in the middle and back rows were more numerous, but they were too far away, and the cheers were stopped when they reached the front row, and there were more voices cheering for Zhang Fu on the court.
