However, Li Ao analyzed it, and it was not difficult for this tactic to be prevented, so he just didn't expand it.

He spread out, Iverson and Mutombo stood on the left and right sides of the three-second zone, the former can rely on the explosive bounce to hit the center-style eating cake, the latter is one of the league's tallest centers, and O'Neal Jr. can only selectively block one of them.

He didn't go out, and O'Neal Jr. had the condition of making up for the empty cut of Marrick Rose while covering Mutombo to eat the cake.

The real effect of this tactic is to contain his defence.

He's a team player and he believes in his teammates...... O'Neal Jr., who ran to the frontcourt, suddenly felt his shoulders sink a little more.

When it came to the Clippers' offense, the 76ers' defensive strategy was simple and crude, but it was straightforward and effective.

Given a rough confrontation with a pure receiver pitcher, Matt Halprin rarely has an advantage against a short power forward.

The point with the biggest advantage in the opponent's singles is the No. 0 player who thinks 'it's not difficult to score 25 points'.

Defend the strongest point on the outside, go to the opponent's second scoring point one-on-one, Raga Bell defend Jordan, and there is another excellent defensive receiver pitcher on the bench, Rodney Buford, waiting for Jordan, and the wheel battle is ready.

After Jordan hit the first iron, he understood his task tonight and started a tie duel with Iverson.

Iverson said no, but the body was still very honest.

When Jordan started to attack, Iverson played significantly more aggressively.

Spider-Man + the god of basketball, this opponent, Iverson is even more excited than seeing the OK combination.

The years are unforgiving, and in the face of top defensive teams and opponents with strong defenses, Jordan's performance has fallen behind.

It was only when the Clippers really played each other that the Clippers felt how terrible Iverson's scoring ability was.

His shooting percentage is not good, it will be more than 4 percent, but no matter how strong the opponent's defense is, no matter how slow the tempo is, he can still maintain this shooting rate!

And Iverson's physical strength is too good, Jordan can still play back and forth with Iverson at the beginning, but when Jordan is tired and needs to slow down, Iverson can continue to play.

At this time, Li Ao can only take the responsibility of the main attack, play alone, encounter supplementary defense, pinching, and choose to throw or pass to his teammates on the flanks.

As the game deepened, Li Ao understood why Garnett, Webber and others would make more than 20 shots when they played the 76ers.

Under the rough confrontation of the 76 team, the wing pitcher felt a little cooler, and it was better to pass the vacant position by himself.

Even Peja and Fisher, the two top wing catch-and-shoot players, were made 1-of-4 and 1-of-7 from three-point range, and Matt Harprin and Bibby played for a few minutes before the open shots began to "clatter".

Li Ao had to be like Jordan, and Iverson had to compare who smashed the frame with a better sound.

The ancients, the sound of the wind and rain, the sound of iron, the sound of the ear.

A new storm has emerged, and the center of Wachovia is constantly striking iron.

Halfway through the first quarter, Jordan got tired of playing iron and went down to rest, the core combination of Bibby and Odom came on, and the Clippers started a matchup between the three and Iverson who played more loudly.

With Li Ao receiving the ball in the middle line and missing the whistle shot, the first quarter was played, and the two teams worked together to compose a grand achievement of 30 iron in a single quarter.

The Clippers scored 18 points on 7-of-21 shooting, and the 76ers also scored 18 points on 7-of-23 shooting!

…

3 of 8 shots, no free throws, scored 6 points, and entered the intermission, Li Ao wanted to find a place to lie down.

But with so many people watching, it was too embarrassing to find a place to fight on the street, so he could only sit on the bench honestly and watch his teammates go up and continue to strike iron.

After the cracked mentality calmed down, Li Ao reviewed the first quarter.

Iverson's side, 4 of 10 shots, plus 2 of 3 free throws to score 10 points, just singles sudden, there were 9 times, and the second quarter continued to play, and there was no one with this physical strength.

However, playing against the club version of Iverson in person refreshed his perception of Iverson.

Iverson doesn't play all the time, with and without the ball, and he plays smartly.

When Snow launched a pick-and-roll attack, Iverson was always in a good position and could create favorable conditions for the power forward to cut in.

He learned why the 76ers would be scolded so badly if they didn't renew Teylon-Hill.

A big forward with a sharp cut and a good sense of eating cake is too suitable for Iverson.

Iverson with or without the ball can create good opportunities for power forwards to cut into the frame.

Li Ao remembered a post that vindicated Iverson's hit rate.

He opened the player evaluation report, looked at Iverson's career stats, and saw an interesting thing - before the 76ers played iron-clad defense, Iverson was an efficient scorer.

Efficient and Iverson don't seem to be equated at all, but in the 97-98 season, the sophomore Iverson averaged 22 points and 6 assists per game, shooting 46.1% from the field, 29.8% from three-point range, 53.5% from the field and 48.6% from the field.

This scoring efficiency is very efficient for an offensive scoring guard with the ball who averages 20+ per game.

Li Ao compared Jordan in the 97-98 season.

He averaged 28.7 points and 3.5 assists per game, shooting 46.5% from the field, 23.8% from three-point range, 53.3% from the field and 47.3% from the field.

It must have been Jordan who was stronger, scored so much more, had a higher overall shooting percentage, and had a better record, but Iverson wasn't bad that year, with reasonable passing and shooting options and efficient performances.

The turning point was that before the start of the 98-99 season, the 76ers successfully cleaned up all the players that Larry Brown didn't need, created a defensive lineup, and started an iron-clad strategy.

Iverson became the league's leading scorer in the '98-'99 season, but his efficiency plummeted.

Li Ao thought about it, if Iverson hadn't met Larry Brown, continued his college and first-year and second-year play, and developed normally, there was a high probability that he would have become the enhanced version of Isaiah Thomas in the draft report.

Efficient scoring, excellent passing, and unwavering defense are the things that head coach Johnny Davis of Iverson said about him in his rookie season.

Li Ao regrets not seeing such Iverson, now Iverson is 26 years old, and his style of play has long been set, even if he changes teams and coaches, it will be difficult to change his style of play.

At best, Larry Brown has also spawned the ever-tenacious fighter in the minds of fans.

Moreover, Larry Brown's iron-blooded tactics did quickly realize Iverson's talent and translate it into a record, with a 28-22 record in the 98-99 season, which was remarkable, and continued to soar to 49-33 in the 99-00 season, and made it to the Finals in one fell swoop last season......

If the 76ers management does not operate blindly and does not destroy the iron-blooded lineup that Larry Brown needs, but honestly complements defensive players, Iverson will be at his peak in the next few years, and the 76ers will not say that they will be a championship contender every year, but there is still a high probability of consecutive Eastern Conference finals like the Pistons in the years after winning the championship in the future.

With a sigh of emotion, Li Ao retracted his attention and looked at the field.

Jordan, who reappeared, continued to compete with Iverson with Odom to see who was more handsome in his iron stance.

In terms of scores, the two teams played back and forth.

The 76ers defended well, and so did their Clippers.

Even if they continue to fight like this, even if their side doesn't soar, Li Ao feels that they still have a chance to win.

However, it felt so uncomfortable for him!

The rhythm is on the opposite side of the 76ers, although the initiative of the situation is not in the hands of the other side, but the way of playing the game is held by the opponent, and their side is quite passive.

Li Ao's eyes rolled and he sat down next to Gentry.

Gentry was now worried about the same problem, and when he saw his disciple take the initiative to sit beside him, his eyes lit up instantly.

But after listening to what his disciple said, he almost fell off the stool.

He felt that his radical wave from time to time was outrageous enough, but he didn't expect Spider-Man to be even more outrageous.

Li Ao asked: "Anyway, it's like this, it won't be worse, right?" ”

Gentry suddenly brightened, yes, it won't be worse, so why not give it a try and fuck it! Tonight, he's going to deceive the teacher!

…

With 3:55 left in the second quarter, the Clippers called a timeout.

The two teams were tied 25-26, with the Clippers trailing by one point.

The score of 7-8 in nearly 4 minutes was a loss higher than the scoring efficiency in the first quarter, O'Neal Jr. and Mutombo were replaced, and the two teams shrank more defense in order to continue the frame protection performance, and the outside opportunities were better, but the scoring performance was still not much better.

After the timeout, the Clippers just replaced Big Q with Li Ao, and Greg Anthony, Jordan, Odom, and Campbell continued to play.

The 76ers fielded a combination of Iverson, Raja Bale, Rodney Buford, Coleman, and Durham Porter.

The Clippers attacked, and Jordan and Odom continued to play a triangle offense.

Li Ao leaned on Rodney Buford on the left baseline to stop running, Jordan hit Laga Bell with his back and turned and rushed, Odom came out around the baseline and received Jordan's pass on the right side of the three-second zone.

Li Ao suddenly started to lift the ball high when Jordan was dividing the ball, and Odom turned around and passed again after receiving the ball to divide Li Ao.

Rodney Buford was full of enthusiasm in defense, making up for Li Ao as soon as possible, and interfering when Li Ao received the ball and lifted it up.

But Li Ao didn't stop moving, jumped, and shot against the defense ...... "bang"...... 3 out of 9.

If you don't score, it doesn't matter, he will still play like this in the next round, and when the ball comes, he will shoot it, and if he doesn't come, he will watch his teammates shoot.

Jordan is the main attacker, loves to pitch, loves to pass the word, and can play how he wants.

This tactic, Jordan played happily, he felt that Gentry was still very sensible sometimes, not always against him like usual, so he would say a few words to Gentry tonight.

Odom plays more easily, doesn't have to take on the pressure, doesn't overload the CPU, and has better timing of his passes.

Li Ao doesn't have to bother with strenuous singles on the offensive end, and he doesn't even need to spend effort on running, he only needs to think about what posture to use to hit the iron after receiving the ball, and the consumption is reduced by half.

When Jordan was tired and wanted to rest, Bibby and O'Neal Jr. came up to take over and play the pick-and-roll attack.

Odom changed his position to respond, and Li Ao moved the position of the post from the baseline to the outside of the three-point line at a 45-degree angle on the left, and moved from lifting up to pressing down, shooting in the baseline area or cutting into the frame.

This style of play failed to improve the offensive efficiency of the Clippers, but! For more than a quarter in the first quarter, they tried their best to adapt independently, and their offensive efficiency did not improve, so it was really better to just play like this.

Yes, Li Ao's suggestion is to lie flat on the offensive end, how simple it is, how to come with little pressure.

Concentrate on defending Iverson!

After that timeout, Iverson suddenly felt like it was getting harder to attack.

However, his ability to resist pressure is strong enough, his passing is also good, he is clamped tightly, he passes when he should pass, and he is not afraid of mistakes, they retreat quickly, have strong delay ability, and have the first fast attack ability in the league.

At the end of the first half, the two teams were tied at 39-40, and the Clippers and 76ers played a single quarter score of 21-22.

The score was still scorching and the game was still tough, but the Clippers coaching staff and players felt more relaxed than they were at the end of the first quarter.

They have also fought iron battles before, but there are still some gaps between those opponents and the 76ers' defense, and the start is quite a headache, and the brain is spinning quickly and can't open the situation for a while.

Now, although the defensive end still has to find a way, the offensive end doesn't have to use its brains, the coaching staff is a lot easier, and the players are less pressed.

But Larry Brown is struggling right now.

The Clippers play like this, what about his defensive strain? I don't need it!

Using endless defensive strains to strangle the opponent's offensive strains is the greatest joy of his coaching.

Now there's no need for strain, the fun is gone!

And now he's losing more than just fun.

Jordan + Odom's core combination with Li Ao, Bibby + Odom + O'Neal Jr.'s core combination with Li Ao, the Clippers' two lineups, the 76ers can limit it well, but they can't lock it, the Clippers' scoring efficiency is very low, but they can always complete the offense through tactics, which is a great guarantee for continuity, leaving a chance to break out at the contact point.

Even Larry Brown can't make the Clippers unable to play tactical coordination, they can only limit, so he needs the Clippers to adapt, and he can disrupt the Clippers' offense through defensive adjustments and weaken the Clippers' tactical completion.

Originally, he did not occupy the initiative of the situation, but was in a state of mutual attrition, and now the initiative of the rhythm of the game is not in his hands!

Larry Brown is feeling uneasy at the moment, it's not a question of losing or winning, they've lost more games this season, but they don't know how to react at all, and this is the first time this year.

He couldn't imagine an opponent who had been with him for 20 years, and who was a student of 20 years.

Could it be that he is now going to run over and teach the former students on the spot? Tell the student how to adjust on the offensive end to deal with him?

Even if he really loves education so much, he has to know how to deal with his defense!

…

It's cool to lie flat for a while, and it's cool to lie flat all the time.

Tonight, Li Ao learned something again.

When there is a core combination like Bibby, Jordan, and Odom as teammates, he doesn't need to work so defense, just turn on Goat mode.

But Iverson's side is uncomfortable, he has been fighting on the offensive end, trying to make sure the team scores, for what?

It was Larry Brown's dead old man who could score on the defensive end and they had a chance to win.

But their defense hasn't improved for a long time!

This made Iverson feel very uncomfortable, you must know that when they played the OK combination, they could toss each other so that they only scored 88 points, which made the explosive head blow up.

Look at the Clippers again, the basketball god is playing more and more hilarious, all kinds of fancy iron, Spider-Man is shooting more and more freehand, yo, here it is again, lying back to play iron, this angle of iron, let Iverson hear the sound of the basket that he has never heard before.

The main thing is that the Clippers' scoring efficiency has been maintained and has not declined!

The 76ers' defense has not changed much, and the details have been adjusted, but they are not very effective.

The Clippers are firmly lying flat, Larry Brown does not dare to make big changes, and he has already used the targeted method, which makes the Clippers players more and more familiar with the opponent's defense, although the confrontation is getting stronger and the physical exertion is increasing, but the shooting percentage is maintained.

On the side of the 76ers, it gradually became unbearable.

In the second half of the third quarter, the 76ers hit 4 irons in a row, and the Clippers played a 5-0 score during this time, overtaking the score 56-53!

Seeing that Li Ao even scored three points, Iverson couldn't sit still.

Pass the yarn! He's going to write the answer himself!

One person, one team, no, one person, one city model starts!

This is the moment the Clippers are waiting for! Gentry was ready to defend!

A defensive package of Li Ao's single defense, Jordan or Matt Harprin wing assistance, O'Neal Jr. or Campbell frame protection is for Iverson!

This is the highest defensive courtesy of the Clippers!

This defense, not to mention Iverson, Jordan thought about it, even if he is 3 years younger, no, 5 years old, he will have to peel off his skin when he encounters this defense.

Iverson wants to pass, they don't stop, their Clippers' wing pitchers are now useless, and the 76ers flank the three melons and two dates, blocking the cutting route, and not giving the other party an easy chance to eat cake.

Iverson scored 10 points in the first quarter, 7 points in the second quarter, and 4 points in the first half of the third quarter, shooting 8-of-19, including 1-of-3 three-pointers, plus 4-of-6 free throws, and a 42.1% shooting percentage, which was okay tonight...... I can't say yes, he's the one with the most efficient scoring in the whole game tonight.

Li Ao was 6 of 16 and Jordan was 5 of 13, and both of them were not as efficient as Iverson.

But at the end of the third quarter, Iverson bravely surpassed the two, scoring only one goal in six shots.

And at this time in the game, the referee is blowing the penalty scale more and more relaxed, and the inconspicuous fouls are no longer blown!

The star whistle? I'm sorry, the god of basketball and Spider-Man opposite, which is not a big name, Spider-Man or the one that Stern is touting in order to open the Chinese market, have you ever seen a pitcher who averages 6+ free throws per game?

Reggie Miller is averaging 4 free throws per game this year, Peja 4.4 and Alan Houston 4.5 per game, a direct drop of one notch.

The 76ers scored just four points in the four minutes at the end of the third quarter, Iverson made a big throw from close range, and Mutombo, who came on in the rotation, scored a layup and didn't score anything else.

On the Clippers' side, the offense is still solid and inefficient, but at least they can score, scoring 8 points in 4 minutes.

With this wave of 8-4, the Clippers tied the score to 64-57 and extended their lead to 7 points!

Li Ao shot 8 of 21 in the third quarter, including 2 of 6 three-pointers, plus 4 of 4 free throws, and the score increased to 22 points, only 1 point away from Iverson's 23 points!
