On December 9, the Clippers came to the Wajovia Center to challenge the 76ers on the road.

After the players of both teams entered, the 'Basketball God Eastern Parade Fan Meeting' began.

Li Ao and Gerald Wallace came to the opposite half to practice free throws, Iverson also came to the side to practice mid-range shots, and Gerard Wallace was busy, serving to two people by one person.

After throwing 10, Li Ao asked, "Aaron, don't you participate in the basketball god fan meeting?" ”

Iverson responded: "I'm not interested, I want to play with you quickly, you were banned when I could play last season, and I was injured when I could play, I was looking forward to this day for a long time." ”

"I've been looking forward to it for a long time, but shouldn't you 'Jordan's successors' all be staring at Michael?"

Iverson tilted his head and replied: "No, I never wanted to be him, I love playing against him, but he is a player from the previous era, and I value my opponents more, like you." ”

"What an honor...... But legend has it that you never train, don't you? Why are you so interested today? ”

Iverson rolled his eyes and said, "Who said I came to train, I was competing with you in the middle of the pitch, you only scored 9 just now, I scored 10, I won." ”

"Wow, you look like a flyer now, come, let's compete to see who can jump up and touch higher."

"Hahaha......"

Iverson grinned so hard that his teeth were bared.

The three top scoring guards each have aspects that dislike, envy or envy each other.

Although he said that he didn't care who the league supported, but Carter was praised by the league, Iverson and Kobe Bryant were not happy, and the two of them were not happy with each other, the former was jealous that the latter had a championship, and the latter was jealous that the former had an MVP.

Carter likes to compare with Iverson and Kobe very much, but the honor, record, and score are not as good as these two, so he often says some sour things.

Not only love to compare with the two of them, but also love to 'duel' with all opponents, and want to crush each other in some bits and pieces.

Iverson looked down on Carter's childish appearance very much, although he judged that Li Ao's broken mouth did not mean to target Carter, and it was purely ridiculous, but it did not prevent him from listening to it.

After a small talk, the two continued to devote themselves to the pre-game warm-up.

After a while, the 'fan meeting' and Jordan's pre-game interview ended, and Li Ao returned to the bench to listen to the coaching staff make the final arrangements before the game.

There was no adjustment, Gentry kept emphasizing defense, Li Ao looked at Larry Brown opposite, the student was still very nervous and cautious when he met the teacher.

But he could hear the confidence in Gentry's words.

The most amazing dark horses and the most disappointing teams this season are among the Clippers' six-game road opponents.

The most amazing dark horse is, of course, the Nets.

And the most disappointing team is the opponent in front of Li Ao.

"Philadelphia 76ers, 10-9, 91.2 points per game, 91.4 points conceded per game, 44.1% shooting, 43.3% limited opponent shooting, 29.9% three-point shooting, 2.8...... three-point shooting per game"

The defense is still top-notch, conceding the third-lowest points in the league, with only the Heat and Magic conceding a single point below them.

However, the offensive performance has plummeted compared to last season, and the introduction of Derrick Coleman has not only failed to improve the 76ers' offense, but has also dropped the team's offensive efficiency as Iverson continues to improve, with the score far lower than last season's 94.7 points.

The tide of iron and blood is getting more and more turbulent, and it is not impossible for the 76ers to drop below 90 points per game this season.

The 76ers management is not the only one, after reaching the Finals, their IQ seems to have run out, and each operation is more outrageous than the other.

For example, when other teams give up to 3 years and 24 million US dollar contracts, they have completed a contract extension of 4 years and 65 million and the official age of 35-year-old Mutombo.

Magic head coach Doug Rivers laughed out of a pig cry in an interview and took a moment to control his expression, saying, "The 76ers made the right decision, they left a great center, a four-time Defensive Player of the Year. ”

76ers fans can only laugh at themselves: Mutombo may have blocked a bullet for our general manager.

This operation is tantamount to tying the current 26-year-old Iverson to the 35-year-old Mutombo's peak.

As for not giving Teylon Hill, who averaged 9 points and 9 rebounds per game, 13 million US dollars in 2 years, and 16.9 million US dollars in 2 years, Matt Geiger, who averaged 6+4 per game, and other operations, 76ers fans are downbeat.

An operation that is unimaginable to normal people has appeared in the 76ers.

However, although the 76ers have plummeted in strength due to the management's operation, they are still a headache for each team.

Two key words – defense and Allen Iverson.

"Allen Iverson, 26 years old, 183 cm, 77 kg, overall rating 98...... Averaged 44 minutes per game, 32 points, 4.1 boards, 6 assists and 2.8 steals per game......"

Scoring, rebounding, assisting, stealing, Iverson is even better than last season's MVP performance, entering the peak.

The reason why Gentry is confident but extra cautious is because the opponent has Iverson and defense.

Although the 76ers have nothing to do with the championship-level teams, it's still okay to stir them up, whoever encounters them has a headache, and the pace of the game is outrageously slow!

…

At 5:58 p.m., the referee called the players of both teams to play.

Li Ao came to the technical table and smeared magnesium powder, walked onto the court, and the task prompt came!

Answer:

Goal 1: Limit Aaron Iverson to less than 30 points.

Goal 2: Host score of at least 25 points.

Reward: 1 basic stat point for speed. ”

Li Ao recalled the 76ers' battle report he had read in the past two days (へ)

Iverson's scoring distribution this season is significantly different from that of other scorers.

The 76ers easily defeated the Grizzlies, Bulls, and Warriors in those games, and Iverson only played more than 30 minutes, scored more than 20 points and left work.

But the playoff teams such as the Lakers, Magic, Kings, Pistons, and Raptors all played the whole game, scoring 35 points, 37 points, 38 points, 38 points, and 58 points respectively......

Limiting Iverson's scoring is a bit difficult.

In 19 games, the 76ers only allowed two players to get 25+, Duncan and Carter, and even Kobe, O'Neal, Webb, and other players at the top of the scoring list did not do it.

The task of directly rewarding attribute points is really not easy!

Turning off the system and coming to the middle line, Li Ao looked at the opposite starting lineup, Eric Snow, Iverson, Malik Rose, Derek Coleman, and Mutombo.

Little O'Neill came to the middle circle and felt the unkind eyes of the African mountains, and he disdained it.

It is his blessing to have teammates such as Spider-Man, the god of basketball, and Big Q.

At 6 p.m., the Clippers played the 76ers away.

O'Neal Jr. bounced quickly and grabbed the ball before Mutombo, and the Clippers took the lead.

Li Ao came to the front court, and Snow was not afraid of a height difference of more than ten centimeters.

Li Ao moved his position, and Snow clung to him, as if he was glued to him.

He moved a few more steps and saw that whether the ball was in Bibby's hands or Bibby passed to Odom, Snow was between him and the ball.

This sense of position, learned and learned.

Li Ao saw that Snow's strength rating was as high as 87, and in the live broadcasts and videos he watched, the 191 cm, 93 kg stocky defender had an advantage against tall defenders such as Maddie, Ray Allen, and Houston.

But guard against him......

Li Ao moved to the right side of the free throw line and forced Snooker behind him, Snow struggled to go around, but still couldn't stop Li Ao from receiving the ball.

Snow lowered his center of gravity and pressed against Li Ao's waist.

Li Ao tried to lean in, and the other party was really stable! The top position is just right, too!

He is glad that after entering the NBA, he did not take the Nowitzki route on the offensive end, otherwise there was really no way to be resisted.

Leaning back, Li Ao turned and rushed forward, came to Snow's back, and before Snow turned around and stuck to it, he stopped and jumped, and shot a shot one step within the free throw line.

After scoring, Li Aobi blew his gun and turned to retreat.

He feels that if he scores 25 points tonight, there may be a play!

When it comes to the 76ers' offense, who says Fisher is the best push guard in the league?

Eric Snow is!

In the past, he advanced, only needed to push Iverson, Iverson was tired, and he needed to slow down in a short period of time, but he could still organize the attack with the ball.

But now, in addition to advancing for Iverson, you have to push for Coleman.

But he didn't want to give the ball to Coleman, and he didn't even give Coleman a chance to ask for the ball when he got to the frontcourt, and passed it directly to Iverson.

If Iverson was the main attacker, Coleman would be convinced.

In fact, he was not convinced at first, everyone was the top pick, they were all the best rookies, he was still a senior, and he had an argument with Iverson in the locker room after the opening game.

After a fight, he served, and he admitted that he was old, and the first main point of attack should be Iverson's.

Definitely not because he arrived in the parking lot that night and was about to start the engine, but the car was picked up by a group of people, and he was grateful to Iverson's fan brother Spedy Claxton for calling Iverson's friends over and letting him know him, he liked to make friends.

Iverson attacked with the ball and met Li Ao's defense.

In fact, Snow is the point guard, Iverson is the scoring guard, and the two should have been opposed.

No one has ever said that Li Ao defends like a stupid tall man, but tonight, the commentator said so.

Li Ao was shaken and dazed, he knew that Iverson would go from the right, but he couldn't stop him at all.

It's not the same as the All-Star Weekend, where he had Kidd, O'Neal, Garnett behind him, and he was more confident and unrestrained in defense, and he had to be more careful and cautious in the club, and the more things he needed to do, the cleaner he was.

At this moment, he deeply felt that Tianzun's sentence was correct - playing the All-Star Game will make you fall behind.

With a great sense of disparity, he turned around...... Iverson was seen smashing the rim hard.

It's so hard that it's not surprising at all.

O'Neal Jr. jammed Mutombo, Odom was about to collect the defensive rebound, Coleman pushed Odom, the referee whistle blew, Coleman grabbed the rebound and fouled.

Odom is not a good temper, his good temper is only in front of Spider-Man.

He turned around to return Coleman, when Iverson yelled, "Boy, calm down!" ”

Odom instantly reined in his movements, glanced at Iverson, and went up to stop the boss who was walking towards Coleman.

The managers of both teams got up at the same time and made substitutions while the dead ball was dead.

At this moment, Larry Brown and Gentry were not worried about the conflict on the court, they were both confident that it would not be his side that would suffer from the conflict.

Gentry replaces Odom with Matt Harprin and Larry Brown replaces Coleman with Raga Bell.

Li Ao followed Iverson to the front court, and asked as he ran: "Are you deliberately creating a conflict and trying to make us not calm down?" ”

Iverson pursed the corners of his mouth and asked, "I said yes, do you believe it?" ”

"That's probably not, you know, Coleman's kind of guy, and if I put him in the hospital, everybody would applaud me."

"Haha, Spider-Man, you can't scare me, you're calmer than anyone else, why don't I tell you his license plate number? Or will I just take you there after the game? ”

Li Ao was posted by Snow again on the three-point line, and Iverson ran to the top arc to wait for Bibby to come over.

Li Ao landed directly on the right side of the free throw line, looking at his teammates and opponents who had bigger body movements...... Who said that black people are all full of muscles in their heads? The answer that looks like thick eyebrows and big eyes, claiming to be 183 tall, has grown to 381 hearts!

No matter which side is causing the conflict, a group of NBA players whose bodies are mostly made up of muscles will come to the fore.

If the conflict really breaks out, both sides push and shove to vent, and the referee comes to separate them, that momentum is vented, and after it is over, and in most cases both sides will calm down because of this.

But the conflict did not arise, it was just a close conflict, but it made both sides hold back the fire.

Who is it better for? Of course, it is more beneficial to the 76ers, the leading team of iron-blooded defense!

Li Ao received the ball in a high position and hit Snow with his back, and continued to turn around and break through.

In the last round, he felt that he was 25 points and grabbed the handle, and now he is called a.

As soon as he turned around, Marik Rose was sticking to his face!

Li Ao calmly grabbed the ball sideways to find Odom, Snow was turned around and moved between Li Ao and Odom, the sense of position and decisiveness of the movement are breathtaking!

Li Ao failed to play the ball for the first time, and stopped the ball, turning around and throwing directly is not a rational choice, and Marrick Ross is more than 110 kilograms attached to him.

Fortunately, his arms were long enough to avoid Marik Rose's hand for the ball, and Marik Rose didn't go around to grab it, and the rest of the 76ers didn't defend impulsively, no one went to steal, and he patiently waited for Jordan to come and answer.

Defending Jordan is Raja Bell.

Jordan received a false shot from the ball, and the opponent was not shaken at all, he took a step forward, and suddenly pulled up a step-back jumper...... Ragha-Bell judged accurately and pressed on the interference at the first time.

Jordan's iron sound is even more crisp than Iverson's, with the exclusive resonance of the basketball god.

Brother Lock Throat can be prevented!

Li Ao glanced at Laga Bale's player evaluation report, the overall rating was only 69, but the defensive evaluation was as high as 84!

Unlike the original time and space where Raga Bell was not taken seriously under Larry Brown, the 76ers here failed to bring in Matt Hardlin, and also lost George Lynch in the trade to Coleman, Larry Brown was forced to use Laga Bell as a sophomore like Prince, a sophomore who averaged 3 points and 1 rebound per game in his rookie season with the Pistons.

Don't know, once used, Raga Bell became Larry Brown's favorite general.

Raja Bale is 196 cm tall, 97 kg in weight, strong, rough in defense, 25 years old, his physical condition is at his peak, he studied vegetarian nutrition for 5 years, played in college for 5 years, and played in Europe for another year, his defensive skills are mature, and he has become a rising new defensive force.

Li Ao, who retreated, thought about whether to tell the basketball god to be careful of his neck, but thinking about an old cannon like Jordan, he didn't need to be reminded.

Pushing guard Snow to the frontcourt, Li Ao was ready to defend the singles.

Unexpectedly, Iverson didn't ask for the ball, but ran along the middle into the inside.

Don't want the status of the music world? The symphony has just started the first chapter, not the style of the answer.

With confusion, Li Ao followed, but did not go deeper, Iverson liked to go around whichever way, he just waited for the other party to come out.

There is no white chocolate on the other side, so you don't have to worry about a ball flying under your armpit.

Iverson ran out of the three-second zone, and Li Ao moved to the left elbow area to intercept Iverson's pass and catch space from the baseline.

When Iverson came out, Snow attacked with a pick-and-roll with Marik Rose on the top arc.

Very simple pick-and-roll attack, Snow broke through on the right, Marik Rose cut in on the left, and Mutombo went around the baseline to get ready to respond.

Snow relied on his speed to smoothly shake off Matt Harprin, who was switching defenses, and burst inside.

Li Ao didn't care about that side, there was O'Neill Jr., and he took a few steps up to block the cutting Marik Rose.

Snow, who burst into the depths, divided the ball on the left side of the bottom line, Li Ao was prepared, turned around and made up for Iverson, no matter whether Iverson received the ball in the middle distance or cut into the frame to catch the ball, he was confident in this distance......

Iverson received the ball outside the left sideline in the three-second zone with one step, stepped into the three-second zone while receiving the ball, bounced up quickly, as if he had a thruster on his leg, jumped up and leveled his head with the rebound, and smashed the ball into the basket with one hand.

After landing on the ground, Iverson raised his head and said to Li Ao, whose eyes were wide open: "We can compete to see who can jump higher!" ”

Li Ao came back to his senses and responded: "I don't, you better go and compare with Fisher." ”

Iverson turned and ran to the backcourt, not to mention the brainless crowd in New York, his fists were tight.

This big spider is not as smelly as the mouth of the high school student in the City of Ten Thousand Lakes, but it is even more infuriating.

The 76ers retreated very quickly, Snow and Raja Bell still had a delay in advancing, Li Ao did not force a fast attack, and he consumed physical strength in vain, he ran slowly to the frontcourt.

He didn't expect the 76ers to play tactics as well...... Can this thing be called tactical? It's barely a tactic.

It's a pity that this tactic can't be copied, other conditions are easy to say, just find a few people can get together, a small player who can be ignored by the opponent when he is on the bottom line is also easy to find, they have smaller, less than one meter seven.

But if you can stand still and catch the ball and take a step and jump up more than one meter tall without running, it may be the only one for the 76ers!
