The China Power of NBA

The Philadelphia 76ers are a veteran team in the NBA. This team has survived in the NBA for 66 years. Before joining the NBA, the Syracuse National Team was already in the predecessor of the NBA—— The NBL and ABB have played for 13 years, which can be called a living fossil in the history of American basketball!
Yes, the predecessor of the Philadelphia 76ers was the great Syracuse National Team. In the first 13 NBA seasons before it was renamed, the team all made the playoffs and won a championship. Syracuse Ziz was once the only city with a population of less than one million among all the cities in the NBA. However, with its enthusiasm for basketball and extremely rich team play, it was respected by the majority of fans. Although the Syracuse National Team has become In the past, but also widely respected in the NBA world today, he is considered to be the San Antonio Spurs of "old times".

In 1949, the NBL and the BAA merged, and the Syracuse National Team was divided into the Eastern Conference. This team did not have the jerky and uneasy feeling of entering the major leagues. In the first season, the National Team played in 64 games. With 51 victories and an incredible 31 wins and 1 loss at home, the core of the team is Dolph Sheyer, who was selected as the NBA's 1972 superstar in 50. An inside behemoth, a center forward, not only good at rebounding, but also has amazing shooting skills. Most of the data of his era are now impossible to investigate, but from the remaining videos and materials in the future, Sheyer In his peak period, he definitely had the ability to average no less than 208+25 per game. In his 15-year career, he only played for the Syracuse Nationals, and he was the team's scorer in 15 seasons. Wang, who has been selected to the All-Star Game for [-] consecutive times.

There are three things you must know about the Hall of Fame superstar Dolph Sheyer. First, in 1948, the NBL and BAA had not yet combined. In that year's draft, Sheyer was selected by the BAA's New York Knick Scheer and the NBL's Tri-Cities Blackhawks (predecessor of the Atlanta Hawks) were selected at the same time, and both had high hopes from their respective teams. In the end, Schayer decided to join the Blackhawks who offered half of the Knicks' salary, but unfortunately When the Blackhawks were looking forward to being confident in the future, the Blackhawks declared bankruptcy, so the rookie signing rights fell into the hands of the Syracuse Nationals.The second thing is about the All-Star Game. In 1951, the NBA followed the example of the Baseball League and decided to select 12 players from all teams to hold the All-Star Game. In this epoch-making game, he scored 17 points and grabbed a game-high 15 rebounds.Third, Schayer is a Jew, and the No.1 Jew who has achieved such great achievements in the NBA.

The time went to the 1954-1955 season. The NBA, which had just been established for only six years, began to decline. The long wait after holding the ball, the lengthy offensive rounds, and various fouls made the game unappreciative. During this critical period, the owner of the national team, Danny Biathorn, proposed the epoch-making "24-second violation rule" to save the NBA from fire and water. This is a rule that has never been questioned and no one has ever advocated revision. Biathorn's precise selection of the trend of the game and the amount of attack time is amazing, and he was also selected into the NBA Hall of Fame for this intelligent invention.

Just this season, the goddess of luck favored this team. The Syracuse National Team entered the playoffs with the first record in the regular season, and defeated the Boston Celtics and Fort Wayne in the playoffs. The Pistons, crowned the first championship of the Syracuse era.Then the next season, due to the poor management of the NBA, there were only eight teams left in the league, and the outstanding national team once again defended this honor.But after that, the Celtics dynasty rose. In the following 13 years, they won eleven championships and created the greatest team myth in the professional arena. But behind this, it was other teams A very dark moment.

In the 1958-1959 season, the rookie Hal Greer gradually gained value in the league. Last season's scoring champion George Adry joined the National Team halfway through. For a while, the National Team formed a lineup comparable to the Celtics. Depth, in the Eastern Conference Finals that year, the national team and the Celtics fought seven games, the sky thundered and the fire fought, the fight was earth-shattering, ghosts cried and gods howled, and finally in the seventh game that decided the outcome, The Celtics took away the victory with a score of 130-125, and then began their great eight consecutive championships!
After this season, the Syracuse Nationals and the Philadelphia Warriors became rivals. This year, "the biggest killer in NBA history" Wilt Chamberlain joined the Warriors. Chamberlain averaged 37.6 points per game in his rookie season. point!And won the scoring champion, the two teams met in the playoffs, and finally the Warriors had the last laugh.

In the next season, the average of 38.4 points per game was once again the best in the league, but in this year's playoffs, the Syracuse National Team played the team basketball to the extreme and finally defeated the Warriors. The team play of the Ziz national team is deeply rooted in the people and has been respected by everyone, including opponents.

In the third year, Chamberlain averaged an astonishing 50.4 points and 24.7 rebounds per game!The national team's star insider Sheyer performed poorly due to a jaw injury. The national team was defeated by the Warriors in the playoffs. In 1963, two Philadelphia businessmen, Ilf Kosloff and Eklrichman, purchased the Syracuse Nationals from Danny Bea Thorne and renamed them the Philadelphia 76ers. The Syracuse Nationals became the History, and became the leader of the NBA's early professional league.

After the end of this season, 76ers star Schayer announced his retirement and welcomed back Philadelphia star Chamberlain. That year, the 76ers became the only team in the league that could compete with the Celtics. In the Eastern Conference Finals, The 76ers and the Celtics met on a narrow road, and both teams used their tactics to the extreme. In the first six games, the two sides scored 3:3. Take the victory by one point.

In the next season, Chamberlain also understood the importance of team basketball under the influence of the historical tradition of the 76ers. This year, he averaged "only" 33.5 points per game, but he was able to grab 24.6 rebounds and his shooting percentage It is 54.0%, the highest in seven years. The 76ers lived up to expectations and got No.1 in the regular season, but in the playoffs, the 76ers played against the Celtics again. In the key matchup between Chamberlain and Russell, Chamberlain did not Earn any cheap, in the end, the 76ers fell at the feet of the Celtics again.

For the 1966-67 season, former Syracuse Nationals coach Alex Hannam replaced Dolph Shays as the coach of the Philadelphia 76ers.Hannum asked Wilt Chamberlain to pass the ball more and shoot less. As a result, Chamberlain averaged only 24.1 points per game this season, missing the scoring title for the first time in eight years.However, his personal efficiency has also been greatly improved. His 8% field goal percentage ranks first in the league, his average of 68.3 rebounds per game continues to be the rebound leader, and he also ranks third in the assist list with an average of 24.1 assists per game.In the end, the team broke the NBA's historical record with a record of 7.8 wins and 68 losses in the regular season. Defeated the San Francisco Warriors 13-4 and won the championship for the second time.

In the 1967-1968 season, Chamberlain once again played the value of team basketball, averaging only 24.3 points per game, but he still had a comprehensive performance of 23.8 rebounds and 8.6 assists, becoming the rebounding and assisting king of that year, The 76ers were successful all of a sudden, and their record was outstanding all the way, but no one could have imagined that in the Eastern Conference finals, the 76ers led the Celtics by a big score of 3:1, and were defeated by the Celtics in three consecutive games. .

This was Chamberlain's last full season with the 76ers. The next season, Chamberlain was traded to the Los Angeles Lakers. From the perspective of hindsight, this deal was the biggest failure in the history of the 76ers. Although Billy Cunningham averaged 24.8 and 12.8 rebounds per game, no one can replace Chamberlain. The record of the 76ers who lost Chamberlain still inevitably declined a lot, and then continued for three years The 76ers stopped in the semifinals and couldn't even make the playoffs after three seasons.It is worth mentioning that in the 1972-1973 season, the 76ers refreshed the NBA's historical winning percentage list with an astonishing 9 wins and 73 losses, and were forever nailed to the pillar of shame.

Afterwards, the 76ers began a long reconstruction. Cunningham, who jumped to the ABA and then returned, Fred Carter who was cultivated internally, and the ABA insider superstar, George McGinnis nicknamed "Little Bull", were all in the 76ers. They have shined and left their own history, but none of them can take the team further.

1976年5月，菲茨迪克松从伊尔夫考斯洛夫手中购得费城76人队，并斥巨资用于球队的重建工程。其中最大的一笔投资就是在1976-77赛季开始前，花600万美元请来“J博士”朱利叶斯欧文加盟——300万付给ABA新泽西篮网队作为补偿，300万给J博士作为工资。

In the 1976-1977 season, under the leadership of Irving, the team not only dominated the Eastern Conference with a record of 50 wins and 32 losses, but also defeated the Boston Celtics and Houston Rockets in the playoffs one after another. On the stage of the finals, the opponent was the Trail Blazers led by Bill Walton. The 76ers fell behind 2-3 in the first five games. In the crucial sixth game, Irving missed the shot under the close defense of Walton. A key mid-range shot, and finally handed over the victory and the championship to the Blazers.

Although it did not win the championship, this team is already a championship-level team, but it is far from meeting the expectations of the outside world. In the following four seasons, the 76ers broke into the playoffs, but Lost to the Washington Bullets with Evan Hayes and Wes Unseld, the San Antonio Spurs with George Gervin, the Lakers with Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, and the Celtics with Russell. It was the last year against the Celtics, as if going back to that year, the 76ers were frantically pursued by the Celtics with a 3-1 lead, and they pulled three games in a row to eliminate the 76ers.

In July 1981, Harold Katz purchased the Philadelphia 7ers from Fitzdixon. In the 76-1981 season, the 82ers achieved a record of 76 wins and 58 losses in the regular season. Then ranked second in the East.In the playoffs, they eliminated the Atlanta Hawks and Milwaukee Bucks one after another, and met the Celtics in the Eastern Conference Finals for the third consecutive year.This time the Philadelphia 24ers were tied 63-76 by the Celtics with a 3-1 lead, but won the crucial seventh game 3-3 and reached the finals.But in the finals, they lost to the Lakers with a big score of 120-106 and missed the championship again.

1982-1983年是属于76人的一年，这一年76人签下了前火箭巨星摩西-马龙，他在76人的第一个赛季就取得了25+15的数据，另外还有欧文的21+7，分位安德鲁-托尼的20+5，球队战绩是联盟最高的65胜17负，马龙拿下了常规赛MVP，季后赛中，实力明显超群的76人以12胜1负的傲人战绩捧得了球队历史上的第三冠。

In 1984, the 76ers took Charles Barkley, known as the "flying pig" with the fifth overall pick in the first round. Duke Charles was a power forward or center forward. Although he was not tall enough, his offensive ability was extremely strong. Few players in China can withstand Barkley's big butt. His biggest killer move is to take the ball on the left rib or right rib and dribble with his back, arch, arch, arch, and a player pinches, passes the ball, and gains an assist. Without a player attacking, he continued to arch, arch, arch, arch to the basket, poked his ass away from the opponent, and scored easily. Although the process was not good-looking, but its lethality was huge. The league had to formulate a "offensive five" specially for Barkley. seconds" violation. (Five Seconds Offensive - An offensive player may not dribble with his back or side to the basket for more than 5 seconds when he is in his frontcourt, below the free throw line extended.)
Although Barkley has excellent bones, different talents, and is invincible on the basketball court, everyone knows that Duke Charles has never won a championship in his life. After he came to the 76ers, the team in front of him was still a championship-level team. Belly, the main shooting guard Andrew Tony was reimbursed for the season due to injury, and Moses Malone also fell when the playoffs started. Without the 40 points contributed by these two players per game, the team finally stopped in the second round.The next season, Malone was traded for two embarrassingly useful players. Tony returned from injury, but his state was greatly reduced. Barkley averaged 23.0 points, 14.6 rebounds, and 4.9 assists per game. A new personal career high.In the first round of the playoffs, the 3ers were eliminated early by the Milwaukee Bucks 76-2.

Before the start of the 1987-88 season, Julius Owen announced his retirement. Although Barkley once again played admirable performance, the team still missed the playoffs for the first time in 14 years. The introduction of ace players, including Mike Geminsky who averaged 17.2 points and 9.4 rebounds per game, Johnny Dawkins who averaged 14.3 points and 7.3 assists per game, He West Hawkins, and Manute Ball, who averaged 18.2 blocks per game, have an unprecedentedly strong team lineup. In the past three seasons, the team has all reached the playoffs, but they were defeated by Patrick Ewing The Knicks led by Michael Jordan and the Bulls led by Michael Jordan were eliminated one by one. Among them, Jordan eliminated the 3ers twice.

In the 1991-1992 season, the 76ers, who had never made a breakthrough, decided to push for reconstruction. They sent Barkley to the Phoenix Suns in exchange for All-Star guard Jeff Hornacek, forwards Tim Perry and Andrew Long.This transaction completely destroyed the 76ers' championship dream. Facts have proved that among the young players who seemed to have good potential at the time, only Hornacek played, but this young man who looked exactly like Sloan was only in the The 76ers played for only one year. In 1995, the team only achieved 82 victories in 18 long games, the bottom of the league, and became the first team in NBA history whose winning percentage has declined for 6 consecutive years. After the end of the season, the Philadelphia 76ers made a major adjustment: the original owner Harold Katz sold the team to Concas for $1250 million. past darkness.

At this time, Philadelphia is in urgent need of a new leader, a leader who can lead the team out of the darkness and see the light of day. In their hearts, they already have the best candidate, and that person is——

Allen Iverson!
