Soon, the game began, with the two teams of center forwards jumping in the middle circle.

Da Yao relied on his height to successfully jump to win Geiger and flick the ball to his side.

However, 76ers small forward George Lynch suddenly rushed out and interfered with Houston's catch, and Theo Ratliffe also ran over to help Lynch scramble.

In the end, Lynch dialed the ball to Ratliff, who passed back to Eric Snow, and the 76ers organized the offense!

Iverson stood on the left side from outside the three-point line at a 45-degree angle to receive the ball, and then broke through Charlie Ward's defense with a flick!

Seeing this, Garnett hurriedly threw away Ratliff to come over to make up for the defense.

Garnett played power forward on the defensive end today, because the 76ers' power forward Ratliffe weighs 102 kilograms, not a tank, and he is not the main point of attack, so Li Wei handed him over to Garnett.

Li Wei let Garnett guard the inside line, and there is a more important purpose, that is, he wants him to give full play to the advantage of height and arm length to help defend the breakthrough of outside players in time.

As we all know, this round of the series is Iverson, as long as Iverson is choked, the 76ers will not be able to play any tricks. So defending Ratliff is not the main thing, defending Iverson is what makes this adjustment all about.

Iverson saw Garnett pounce and made a stop-and-go jump shot directly in the middle distance!

"Dang!"

It's short!

０：０！

The ball bounced directly on the edge of the basket, and as Garnett went out to make up the defense, Ratliff reached out and just caught the frontcourt rebound!

Da Yao hurried over to defend Ratliff.

Bo Outlaw is in charge of the 76ers' small forward George Lynch on the defensive end, Da Bo is only 2.03 meters tall, and like George Lynch, the speed is not slow, and Lynch can't take advantage of the two when they are facing each other.

At this time, Garnett went out, and the 76ers' interior line had Geiger and Ratliff, and Da Yao couldn't take care of it alone, so Bo Outlaw immediately shrank inward like lightning to avoid a two-on-one situation.

When Ratliff saw Da Yao pounce, he wanted to pass the ball to Geiger, but Bo Outlot was already in front of Geiger and blocked his passing route!

It was a very good defensive rotation and Ratliff could only get the ball out.

The 76ers organized guard Eric Snow to receive the ball and then pass it to George Lynch in time.

Lynch was in an empty position, and was jumping up to show off his mid-range shot, when Garnett pounced like a big spider!

He had no choice but to speed up his shot, and as a result, he hit a piece of iron!

"Dang!"

It's still 0:0!

Bo Outlaw grabbed the rebound in the backcourt, and the Knicks organized the offense.

Da Yao is still the old rule, standing at the top of the arc on the offensive end, the 76ers' big meat shield Matt Geiger looked aggrieved, but he still defended it.

The Knicks used small forward Garnett to defend the 76ers' power forward Ratliff on the defensive end, and the 76ers also used their power forward Ratliff to defend the Knicks' small forward Garnett on the defensive end, because Ratliff is taller at 2.08 meters and does not suffer when facing Garnett.

Knicks power forward Bo Outlaw is only 2.03 meters tall and generally doesn't participate in the offense, so Larry Brown handed him over to George Lynch. George Lynch, despite his short stature, is a real rebounding maniac who can protect rebounds under the basket.

In the defender position, the two teams are also misaligned with each other.

The 76ers used shooting guard Iverson to defend the Knicks' playmaker Charlie Ward, because he was too tall to defend Houston and had to be handed over to Snow.

On the Knicks' side, Charlie Ward is 1.88 meters tall, 5 centimeters taller than Iverson, and is a football giant, can run and collide, and is the most able person on the team to limit Iverson, Li Wei must use him to defend the new scoring champion!

It can be said that Ward's defense in this series directly determines the success or failure of the Knicks!

When Snow has no vacant positions, he generally does not make strong shots, and Alan Houston defends Snow, which can save physical strength to the greatest extent. After all, he is the Knicks' first firepower and needs to play on the offensive end.

At this point, the Knicks attacked, and Garnett made an off-ball cover for Houston on the right side.

The quality of this cover was not very good, and Eric Snow caught up in time.

Houston received the ball and threw it strongly, "dang" the ground, and hit the iron!

The score is still 0:0!

The ball bounces high!

Garnett went down immediately after the cover and took this offensive rebound from Ratliff's head in his arms!

Ward slipped to the bottom corner, Garnett gave him the ball in time, but Iverson defended it like lightning!

Houston immediately came over and did a pick-and-roll for Ward.

Ward passed the ball after blocking the pick-and-roll, and Houston received the ball and hit the iron again under Snow's defense!

"Dang!"

Continue 0:0!

George Lynch grabbed the defensive rebound!

The 76ers attacked, Snow passed the ball to Iverson, and Iverson broke through.

Charlie Ward was not shaken off this time, and chased after the defense closely, and Garnett pounced in time!

Iverson saw that he was about to be trapped, and hurriedly distributed the ball to Ratliff!

Ratliff was about to shoot after receiving the ball, but found that Garnett, who had just gone to help defend Iverson, actually shrank back in an instant and appeared in front of him again!

The 76ers' power forward was in a hurry, so he could only shoot quickly, and then the ball "dang" on the ground and smashed on the basket!

Another iron!

０：０！

Da Yao received a defensive rebound, and the Knicks organized the offense.

The 76ers are also a team that has retired their commentator's jersey, and the commentator they retired the jersey is called Dave Simkov.

Philadelphia fans will never forget the voice of Simkov, who narrated the game in which Chamberlain scored 100 points at Hershey Arena on March 2, 1962.

By the way, the background that gave Chamberlain 100 points in a single game was the New York Knicks, the first background of the NBA.

The Knicks in the '50s were three Finals and in the '60s, with only 21-59 losses in the '62-63 season, and it is not surprising that they were beaten by Chamberlain.

In 1967, the red-headed Holzman became the head coach of the Knicks, and the team was reborn and reached the Finals three times, winning two championships.

When Chamberlain scored 100 points in a single game, he played for the Philadelphia Warriors. A few months later, the Philadelphia Warriors moved to San Francisco, changed their name to the San Francisco Warriors, and about another 10 years later, they became the Golden State Warriors.

Philadelphia fans weren't lonely, though, and in 1963, the Syracuse Nation moved in and changed their name to the Philadelphia 76ers, and their big star Chamberlain returned to familiar ground in 1965.

Dave Simkov, whose home is in Philadelphia, didn't go to San Francisco with the Warriors, and when the 76ers arrived, he became a commentator for the 76ers.

On March 25, 1986, at the age of 76, Dave Simkov died, and three months later, the 76ers retired their jerseys.

At this moment, Dave Sinkov's jersey with a microphone on it and the jerseys of the 76ers' legendary superstars, including Wilt Chamberlain's No. 13 jersey and Dr. J. Julius Irving's No. 6 jersey, are flying over the 76ers' home court.

Now, the 76ers' commentator is Mark Zumov, a graduate of Temple University, a native of Philadelphia, a journalist in the '70s, a live TV host in the '80s, and a live announcer in '94.

Mark Zumov's partner is Steve Meeks, who is 2.01 meters tall and plays as a small forward, played for the 76ers in the 70s and 80s, and was an All-Star once, and is a well-known figure for Philadelphia fans.

"Steve, we haven't scored from either team, it's a defensive battle!" Mark Zumov said.

"Yes, while Coach Lee has always touted himself that the Knicks are an offensive team, I think the reason they were able to beat the Heat and make the playoffs was defense," said Steve Meeks. Half of the Knicks' coaching staff is veterans of Pat Riley and Jeff Van Gundy, and Charlie Daley is the well-known builder of the Bad Boy Army. ”
