Chapter 081 - 76 People Attack (3)

Iverson and Houston were one by one, and the opening scene seemed to smell of gunpowder, and the bosses on both sides moved, and it was impossible for the others not to act.

Liang Xiao watched the fight between them off the field, and it is estimated that it will be difficult to stop, and his playing time is not known if it can be guaranteed.

The 76ers' Snow is really not in a hurry at all, his passing skills are deep, and his organizational skills are so strong that it is impossible to say, if he does not get a good opportunity, he will not mess around, interspersed with leads, so that the ball can always find the best time to shoot in the hands of the 76ers.

There is a saying that insiders win the world, and the Knicks' former Ewing is a good proof of this, otherwise how can Houston and Sprewell be willing to be green leaves, and the Knicks have not set the Poseidon needle since Ewing left. The 76ers feel the same way, otherwise the Nets wouldn't have poached Mutombo. Against the Lakers' O'Neal and the Spurs' Duncan, an interior line like can't do without two brushes.

Now the 76ers have three big men on the court, Van Horn, Kenny Thomas, and Coleman, and the interior is a big killer when attacking.

"I think if the Knicks don't want to make a contribution on the outside today, the Knicks are likely to lose this game, the 76ers' three interior lines are not fun, although they don't have the tough defense of Uncle Africa, but they will not be ambiguous at all on the offensive end, and the 76ers still have a few interior lines sitting on the bench." Commentator Zhang instructed.

"I think the Knicks must be on the outside, Houston, Sprewell and Harrington are all players who can score from the outside, and I think they won't let go of such an opportunity!" The host continued Zhang Weiping's words.

Snow assists Van Horn on the inside, Van Horn, a promising white power forward, was selected by the 76ers as the star pick in the 97 draft only behind Tim Duncan, and people call him "the second Larry Bird", which shows that the strength is not weak, cool-headed, long-range, and many angles, which can be said to be the type that can be used inside and outside like Harrington.

"Van Horn didn't play the inside with the ball, I said Thomas has no problem defending him, Thomas is a well-known big player, Van Horn's style of play is a little soft, there is no advantage on the inside. Oh, you see, right, come out and throw in two steps. Coach Zhang watched Van Horn take out a two-step shot and hit the ball. 2-4, Van Gundy saw his lack of inside line at the beginning.

Easy side offense, Knicks' Easley holds the ball, for the 30-year-old Easley and the same 30-year-old Snow, on par with each other, although Snow is an authentic playmaker, the offensive ability is not outstanding, but his defense is not ambiguous at all. Immediately followed Easley, blocking his view, the ball was distributed to Sprewell on the outside, and the 76ers did not have a real small forward, so Coleman was much slower in catching up with Sprewell.

"It's obviously slow, Coleman is a 35-year-old veteran, although Sprewell is also 32 years old, but people can run and jump at the age of 32, and there is no such advantage on the inside!" Director Zhang is giving full play to his expertise again. "Coleman used to be a very good player and was selected as an All-Star, but he was late, lazy, and fighting, and he did a lot of such things, and his talent was wasted."

Coleman saw that he couldn't catch up with Sprewell, and when Sprewell got up, he stretched out his left hand and tugged, and the ball was projected, which could be outrageously crooked. Coleman was fouled and Sprewell hit two free throws.

In the first quarter of the game, both sides gradually found their state and figured out the weakness of the other party, the Knicks mainly played on the outside, and Harrington on the inside repeatedly took out the mid-range shots, and the two guns carried out mid-to-long-distance projection, leaving Thomas alone on the inside, facing Van Horn, who had a weak style of ball, and could repeatedly succeed in the low post. Easley and Snow can only fight to the core.

The 76ers mainly attack with the ball on Iverson's side, and the rest will be solved by the inside, the inside line has to be said to be tough, the Knicks can't be compared with the inside line at all, and Sprewell can't compare with Coleman's body and suffer more.

"Now 5 minutes and 23 seconds have passed in the first quarter of the game, the 76ers began to rotate, first replaced Coleman, after all, they are 35 years old, there are muscles, but not only muscles, it is Mark Lodge, from Canada, the score is still relatively stale, 17-18, the Knicks are one point behind, it seems that Liang Xiao has not much time to play today, Van Gundy is scratching his head on the sidelines, and it seems difficult to come off the bench!" Director Zhang saw the 76ers substitution, and the camera gave the benches on both sides, and Liang Xiao also happened to appear in the camera.

"It's only been more than 5 minutes now, there is still time in the first quarter, I think Liang Xiao still has a chance, the first few games, Liang Xiao played in the remaining three or four minutes of the first quarter, I think this one should not be an exception, right?" The host said to Director Zhang, thinking in his heart, the fans in front of the TV are mainly Ben Liang Xiaoxiao watching this ball game, Director Zhang, Director Zhang, you don't come to conclusions so early.

"It depends on the score on both sides, if it keeps being so stalemate, the rotation on both sides is fine, and if they are more energetic, it will be a disaster for the substitutes." Director Zhang said with certainty, as if he was a roundworm in the stomach of the head coaches on both sides, and knew all his thoughts. "Okay, let's see how the Knicks defend this ball!"

After Iverson held the ball, the Knicks immediately wrapped up two more people, and Sprewell stepped forward to watch Iverson with Houston. Iverson dribbled the ball twice, and basically had no chance to succeed in this pair of gunners, even if he wore flowers and butterflies, it was impossible to pass through the two stars. I had to distribute the ball to Mark Loch, who had just come on the field. Makloche is nearly two meters and ten meters tall, and he turned around immediately after winning the ball, but found that there was one more person next to him, Thomas went around the front to defend, blocking Van Horn who wanted the ball, and at the same time reached out to interfere with Makloch's shot.

This small period of time puts all the defenders in place. I had to divide the ball into the hands of others. Harrington ate Kenny Thomas, a 25-year-old with no Harrington experience. The ball went to Kenny Thomas and hit Harrington, and when he squeezed into the low post, Harrington stepped back, and Kenny Thomas lost his center of gravity, and the ball stopped, but the man retreated to the low post, and Sprewell reached out to intercept the ball.

With a quick counterattack, Sprewell ran quickly and scored with a direct layup. 19-18, one point ahead.

Then the 76ers started to attack again, this time Iverson didn't divide the ball after receiving the ball, and an inside mistake just now made him want to go it alone, which is also Iverson's problem, seeing other people's small mistakes, he began to take the ball and fight alone.

However, it really did not disappoint, despite being caught by the double, but Sprewell did not dare to go too forward, but only consciously blocked Iverson's route, and Iverson still put the ball firmly in front of Houston and projected the ball into the net bag.

After the ball was scored, Iverson stretched out his hand to the sky above the arena with some excitement, as if to say, Madison, my world, 19-20, Iverson scored 8 points alone, this is his capital, proud capital.

"Iverson is unstoppable today! Looks like he's going to go berserk! Whether the Knicks can contain it is still a question! Coach Zhang saw Iverson's domineering shot, as if he was on the side of the 76ers.

The fans in front of the TV also loved and hated Iverson, loved his brilliant dance steps, and hated that he was not in the same trench.

The Knicks are powerless in the face of the 76ers' interior line, and the current veterans seem to have forgotten their responsibility to change the breakthrough, and now they are completely relying on mid-range shooting to score. Sprewell tried to break through a few times, but in the face of Coleman at the beginning, and now Makloch, his huge body always blocked in front, so he had to choose a mid-to-long shot. Houston was originally a shooter-like player, with few breakthroughs and little interest in hitting the inside.

The score was so close, Van Gundy stood on the sidelines and grabbed Xie Ding's scalp, now it's up to who breaks the deadlock.

With 5:06 left on the clock, Van Gundy gestured to the referee on the sidelines and called a timeout.
