Chapter 577: Chance of Victory

"Aaron, are you alright?"

On April 19, 2003, Boston's North Shore Garden, the bench of the Philadelphia 76ers, 76ers head coach Doug Collins looked at the boss of his team with a worried face, just after coming out of the locker room, the 76ers' big man has been sitting on the bench, covering his head with any hands, and at this time, the 76ers' leading player seems to be shielding the crazy shouts from all sides of the field, but for Collins, He doesn't think that his most proud player will be afraid of such a scene, although they have not been together for a long time with Iverson, but he is very clear about the character of this small player, this is a player who can never be afraid on the court, no matter at any time this player is full of fighting spirit, so Iverson's somewhat abnormal behavior also makes the 76ers head coach a little worried. ,!

"No, I'm fine" Iverson just raised his head slowly after hearing the coach next to him, and then took a deep look at the still empty court, and finally muttered: "It's just that I'm so excited now, I now find myself unable to control my hands, these hands are shaking now, only in this way can I calm my mood, I know when I should let myself be excited and excited, I'm full of hunger for this game"

Looking at Iverson, who looked a little more and more excited, Doug Collins also nodded slowly, and also breathed a sigh of relief, this is the boss of the 76ers he knows, and he is also the team leader he trusts the most.

"Maybe you can really create a miracle in this series" In the end, Collins thought with some anticipation in his heart, and at this time, the 76ers head coach couldn't help but look at the bench of the home team Boston Celtics in this game, at this time, the Chinese who recently stirred up the NBA this year and shocked the American basketball world are making the final arrangements to the Celtics players at this time, and seeing the Chinese who still looks extremely young, Collins is a little lost.

Before this game started, no one would believe that they could beat the Celtics, or even that they could cause even the slightest trouble for the Boston Celtics and the Chinese, Collins knew very well what his team's situation was, for him, the 76ers this season were tough, there is no doubt about it, if it wasn't for the last regular season game to beat the Bulls, this team would have missed this year's playoffs, for such a team, It's basically impossible for them to pose a threat to a team that can finish 70 wins in a single season.

What others think of the 76ers Collins doesn't care at all, the current 76ers have achieved such a result in this situation, which is not something to be proud of or something to brag about, but this does not mean that Collins has not thought about his team in this series to win the final victory, and even he has thought more than once about what his team should do to beat the Celtics.

For any NBA head coach, the game is always about winning, and Collins believes in this point, but in the end, the 76ers head coach still hasn't figured out a way to beat the Celtics.

He has no way to beat the Celtics, because he finally found that he is not the opponent of the Chinese at all, in terms of the coach's tactical system and on-the-spot command he does not consider himself to be the opponent of the Chinese, in this regard he is very clear, he is not as good as the Chinese, but this does not mean that the 76ers also have no hope of beating the Celtics, because this team is not his, but the small man, the contrast of strength between him and Zhuang Fei does not represent much of something, Because the real comparison of this competition is Iverson and the Chinese, and Iverson is Collins' last confidence.

Similarly, Collins is confident that Iverson will repay his expectations and pull off a miracle in this series. Of course, for Iverson, he is very clear about the expectations of the team's coach, and personally, beating Carter and beating Zhuang Fei is his biggest goal in this life, and in this case, he and Collins are completely in line with their thoughts in this series.

Now the two generals of the 76ers are planning to defeat Zhuang Fei and the Celtics, and at this time, Zhuang Fei is at the end of the Boston Celtics players to arrange some targeted tactics for this game, when Zhuang Fei is arranged, the Boston Celtics starters and 76ers starters are all on the court for a short warm-up before the game, and after the warm-up, the game has officially begun.

"Judging from the starters of the two teams, it is clear that the news released by the 76ers before the game is a smoke bomb, this game Van Horn can not only play, but also start, as far as he is looking at the current warm-up situation, this player is in good shape now, there is no so-called sprained ankle at all" In the media commentary seat of North Shore Garden, TNT commentator Kenny Smith looked at the players of the two teams on the court who were warming up and said helplessly, the 76ers are putting smoke bombs, Obviously, this is not a clever trick, and I am afraid that only a fool would believe that the 76ers players will really have such a sudden injury, and for the Chinese who is called cunning as a fox, Kenny Smith does not think that the Chinese will believe it. In this case, it is extremely naïve to look at the 76ers' approach.

"Haha, maybe Collins never thought about who he would deceive, maybe this is just a hint, as for what Collins is hinting at, then we don't know" As a legendary player of the former 76ers, Barkley doesn't care about the cynicism and code words of his partner Kenny Smith, but he is still suspected of clearing the 76ers.

In this game, TNT's national live broadcast game, TNT also sent its two aces in this game.

"Maybe you're right, but in my opinion, no matter how much Collins plays, no matter how much he hints, I don't think this team is the opponent of the Celtics, especially since this game is still the home of the Celtics."

For a commentator, the most important thing in the commentary is to maintain a fair and impartial attitude towards the teams on both sides, but in this game, the Celtics faced Barkley's old club 76ers, and Kenny Smith seemed to be ready to completely fall to the side of the Celtics.

"Maybe it will, but I guess it's not absolute, you know, anything can happen for a team with a player of my calibre, and now Iverson is doing a great job with the 76ers, he's the scoring champion this year, he's averaging points per game in four regular season games against the Celtics this year, and he's able to make the Celtics' guard line crazy" Barkley said with some jokes at the end, and the former NBA legend didn't forget to squeeze his eyes after saying that, Seeing this scene, Kenny Smith also smiled secretly in his heart, and the tacit understanding between the two is getting better and better now.

"Not necessarily, I've never seen a team beat Coach Z with a single performance, not even the Spurs beat Coach Z in 1999, Duncan was weak in the final moments in Game 7, is Iverson better than Duncan at that time? You know, the Celtics are better than the Timberwolves back then."

"Haha, if the 76ers can play the seventh game with the Celtics, I think it will be a very exciting story no matter who wins or loses," in the end, Barkley still didn't care about his partner's rebuttal and said with a smile, but at this time, Kenny Smith on the side smiled a little bitterly, because he suddenly found himself trapped by this stupid big guy next to him.

Zhuang Fei has never believed in the smoke bomb released by the 76ers not long ago, and it is obvious that I am afraid that the purpose of Collins to release this smoke bomb is more to warn or imply that Zhuang Fei is extremely wary of the Boston Celtics, and it is also a provocation to the proud Celtics scouting system of Danny Angie.

So in this case, Zhuang Fei's lineup in this game has not changed much, the center is still Yao Ming, and the big forward is Xiao Ao, the small forward is Maddie, and the two backcourts are Jackson and James Posey, and the 76ers are sent a small lineup like Derek Coleman and Van Horn inside, both of whom are only 2.08 meters tall, although the current NBA interior line has slowly degenerated, but the height of these two people is still insufficient in the current NBA, This is also the biggest shortcoming of the team after Mutombo left the team, and in the small forward position, the 76ers sent Ragabel, the favorite of Larry Brown, the former Wake Forest player is still not refrigerated after Larry Brown left, the outside defender can contribute points per game this season, it can be said that he is the third scorer of the 76ers after Iverson and Van Horne, of course, he scores more fixed-point threes. As for the 76ers' outside line, it's a combination of Iverson and Snow. The 76ers' roster is also the strongest lineup of this team.

And when Zhuang Fei glanced at the players on the 76ers, the referee of the game, Bavita, threw the ball into the air, and the game officially began. (To be continued.)
