Chapter 46: An Unexpected Change

Iverson was aggressive at the beginning of the game, even if Gong Feng defended from a meter away, he couldn't stop Iverson's crazy breakthrough, in the first three minutes of the game, Gong Feng committed two fouls, although there was a home whistle inside, there was a superstar whistle factor, but Gong Feng admitted that he still made a mistake.

After two fouls, Gong Feng was immediately replaced by Collins, and Tyrone Lue was ready to play, but Hamilton, who should have been rested at this time, still stayed on the court, and it seems that Gong Feng's performance has some away game emotions in Collins' opinion.

However, Gong Feng didn't argue about anything at this time, or ignored these things, and the facts trumped everything...... It's just that Gong Feng, who was sitting on the bench, kept moving his feet, and the monkey who wanted to play in a hurry could be seen by anyone, especially when the camera turned to Gong Feng's body in the video, some people were already very surprised...... Some people are already feeling the shock in their hearts.

It's a pity that in Collins's opinion at this time, Gong Feng's performance was too immature, a little too urgent, and some thoughts that should not have arisen at this time, "Maybe this game, let Tyrone Lu have a little more effect?" The idea of Iverson's attack today is too much, and Iverson's actions must be restricted! ”

At the same time, after Tyrone Lue came on the court, Iverson reduced his breakthrough and began to organize the team, and Iverson's approach confirmed some of Collins' thoughts at this time.

At the beginning of the game, the 76ers players seemed to forget about defense, but focused on attacking, and the 76ers who did so had a very high shooting rate, and the overall shooting rate of the 76ers in the first quarter was as high as 6%.

To put it bluntly, the current 76ers team is very different from last year's 76ers. Last year's team, it can be said that the only player who could help Iverson in the offense was McGee, and the rest of the players were Larry Brown's favorite, the kind of players who were very mobile and very tough defensively.

However, such players were sent away by the management last summer, so that Larry's defensive system that has been working hard for many years is suddenly missing two, and the two people exchanged by the management of the 76ers cannot be said to be wrong, because both of them have a certain offensive ability, in the eyes of the management, the two people sent away are veterans, the future prospects are too poor, and they can't help Iverson to share the offense.

The management of the 76ers thinks that the internal and external defense relies on Snow and Mutombo, and the other players are just worse, so there should be no big problem.

Although the two in exchange are slightly worse in single defense and co-defense, they can provide more offensive help for the current Iverson.

It can't be said that this is a mistake, but when it comes to looking at specific things, there are several factors that are not well considered, or overestimating Larry's defensive system, or saying that some things are not expected, and also overestimating these players who are traded.

The first is Derrick Coleman, who was traded, as a former champion, as the guy who was called the second Barkley, or the second Malone, or the guy who was called a combination of the two...... Now a little fat, you read that right, it's this word that is very harsh for athletes.

As a guy who doesn't know the rhythm, doesn't know the discipline, and was chosen and given up by all the teams has entered the final glorious era, although the current Coleman has some signs of cheering up, but the age is not forgiving, and what he did before will not be forgiving, although the offensive ability is still there, but to really go to the desperate defense, to take the initiative to help defend others, it is really a little too difficult for this big forward.

In the eyes of the team's management, this is a guy who is good both offensively and defensively, and he is definitely better than the previous power forward.

Yes, no one is going to deny this comparison, but there is one thing that Coleman definitely can't compare to the previous one, and that is the ability to help defend.

This is Larry Brown's biggest headache now, and it is also an important factor for the Wizards to get two games, when Gong Feng and Wang Zhizhi play blocking and dismantling, it will become very easy to break through him at the speed of Gong Feng, if you don't have a close defense, Gong Feng will get a space equivalent to an empty space in the moment of blocking and dismantling, in this case, Gong Feng will definitely not be soft.

The second point is that when Coleman and Leitner are opposed, as a member of the former dream team, Leitner's attack power is definitely not something that the current Coleman can be underestimated, as a veteran for many years, he has his own perception of Coleman's defensive habits and tonnage, and Leitner, who has always maintained a good shape, can also contribute his own strength on the offensive end.

The second point after the 76ers trade is that they didn't think about Uncle Mu's age, although this topic has been mentioned every year, Uncle Mu can perfectly respond to this sentence every year in the past, telling everyone what it means to be immortal, but Uncle Mu is always one year older, not to mention that Uncle Mu played 80 regular season games as the main force this season, averaging 12 points and 11 rebounds per game...... There is only one point in saying this, that is, Uncle Mu is tired now!

Uncle Mu, whose athleticism is very strong, is now, or in the game against the Wizards, he can only focus on one point, or defend someone alone, or help defend anyone, or protect the rebound, not to mention that if the little monster is so good to defend, it is not worthy of being called a little monster, Uncle Mu is the one who has made the biggest contribution in the current 76ers, if the attack power of Kwamei is reflected, the life of the 76ers will become even more difficult.

The rest is still considered qualified, otherwise it would not be possible for the 76ers to make the playoffs after Iverson missed more than 20 games.

Forgot to say the last point...... How can we forget this last bit of the forgotten factor of 76ers management?

So far, the NCAA's meritorious coach, Larry Brown, who is famous for his defense, not to mention that Larry's system is not suitable for the current 76ers, but Larry, who pays attention to defense, seems to have forgotten the instinct of everyone in the 76ers, that is, if everyone's offensive power bursts out, it is definitely not weaker than any team in the league.

Taken together, these factors, plus the most important weight, is that the 76ers, who are already standing on the edge of the cliff, have decided to give it a go......

Mutombo's task today was very simple, which was to protect all the rebounds, and the task of the others was much simpler, which was to attack, and defense was secondary......

Anyone who knows anything about the two teams could not have imagined that Collins did not expect the 76ers to choose this desperate offensive play, and Larry did not expect his own team to fight with the Wizards in the early stages......

The 76ers scored 30 points in the first quarter, and Iverson only took up 7 points here...... For those with relevant memories, think about what Larry's team was like, and think about what Iverson looked like when he was at his peak when he was scoring less than a third of the team......

Collins' eyes turned green when he saw such a 76ers, and the Wizards trailed the 76ers by 17-30 points after the first quarter.

This is the situation, Collins did not replace the bow peak, did not have the slightest intention of strengthening the attack, and became more Brown than Brown...... I don't know what Collins was thinking at this time, anyway, looking at Mutombo's focused appearance, he didn't think about what Kwame could do now!

Fortunately, Leitner stood up in the second quarter and singled out Coleman in the second quarter to score 16 points, but Iverson in the second quarter exerted his power at the end and stretched the Wizards team who had just chased to within the 10-point gap to 17 points again, which was a very dangerous edge for the Wizards.

At halftime, Collins' face became ugly, but at this time it was Jordan who took the lead in stepping up, "We have to limit the opponent's offense, Tyrone Lue, you continue to play in the second half, as long as Iverson is still on the court, you have to do a good job of defense and prevent his breakthrough, can you do it?" ”

"Yes!" At this time, Tyrone Lu only needs to shout loudly, and the rest does not need to be considered.
