Bishop: since 1998

Chapter 243 Deadly Attack!
Lost the winning streak, or lost to the opponent the Magic didn't want to lose.

While the Magic players felt a sigh of relief, they were also filled with anger, which they would spread to the next Celtics.

On February 12th, the North Shore Garden Arena.

The Magic attacked with all their strength and beat the Celtics by 135 points with a score of 90 to 45.

From the beginning of the first quarter, the Magic accelerated their attack with all their strength.

The various fronts of the Celtics are simply unstoppable defensively.

After all, Pierce and Walker still had something to do offensively, and they scored 56 points together, which didn't make the score any worse.

Next, the Magic beat the Pacers and Hawks to end a 12-point stretch.

At the beginning of the month, a new round of official strength rankings came out. The Magic still ranked first in the league with a record of 36 wins and 1 loss.

Although the Lakers ended the Magic's winning streak, they ranked No. 34 in the league with a record of 3 wins and 2 losses.

Kings No.3, Mavericks No.4.

New Year's Day?

The league doesn't like this.

On January 2002, 1, the Magic had games.

Orlando, TD Waterhouse Center.

Iverson led the 76ers to challenge.

In other words, the injuries of Iverson and Snow made the 76ers almost lose the chance to compete for playoff tickets.

After a 7-game losing streak, Iverson came back to clean up the mess.

At this time, the 76ers ranked 17th in the East with a record of 20 wins and 10 losses, and still had a chance to hit the playoffs.

In fact, it is only 8 wins away from the 2th place in the Eastern Conference.

Simple appearance and warm-up time, on the big screen in the arena, the starting lineups of the two sides for tonight's match were displayed.

The Magic remain intact, Kidd, McGrady, Jackson, Duncan, O'Neal.

The 76ers started 5 Tigers, Snow, Iverson, Matt Harprin, Coleman, Mutombo.

On the commentary stage, broadcast live by TNT radio, Mike Breen looked at Larry Brown's starters, shook his head and said, "The Magic are young and invincible.

The insiders of the 76ers are 70 years old. Such insiders have never been beaten at all! "

Groom Albert said helplessly, "Actually, to be reasonable, the 76ers' inside combination is very competitive in the Eastern Theater.

Of course, except against the Magic.

In the entire league, the interior is not as good as the Magic. "

The Magic are strong inside.

The 76ers won the jump ball. Mutombo's talent is also terrifying.

Snow dribbled the ball to the frontcourt. Facing Kidd, the first player in the field, he gave the ball to Iverson.

Catch the ball, step down and dribble continuously, start, change direction, make a strong push to the inside...

McGrady's height is a burden in front of Iverson.

Just like walking through the streets in the early morning, get rid of Maddy.

Facing the siege of Kidd, Duncan and O'Neal, Iverson swayed at an angle, threw his body out, and drifted and made a strong shot...

Swish-!
2 to 0! !
Larry Brown's face was ugly, but his heart was very comfortable.

The 76ers are nothing without Iverson, and 'right basketball' is a joke.

With Iverson, the 76ers have a chance to touch anyone.

The Magic attack.

Kidd dribbled to the frontcourt, and Iverson and Snow had some troubles.

Kidd and Maddie.

Iverson is at a disadvantage no matter who he defends.

'Kidd does not attack' reputation, Iverson decided to deal with Kidd.

Then, Iverson was hit on the back.

Step by step, he reached the shooting sweet spot, turned over and hit a two-pointer with a jumper.

2 to 2! !
Larry Brown was expressionless.

In order to protect Iverson, he has been constantly adjusting the lineup over the past few years, recruiting one after another defensive players who are suitable for Iverson.

Then, 'hidden' until the first day of junior high school, but 'hidden' no more than fifteen.

Facing a swingman team like the Magic, whoever Iverson chooses is an 'idol'.

You chose!
Jesus couldn't stop it either.

There is nothing wrong with the body.

Fortunately, Iverson's offense is tough.

Hard there?
It's all hard there.

At this time, it was Kidd who defended him.

Useless.

Still a breakthrough.

Kidd was only able to entangle for a while, but in the end he couldn't stop Iverson's footsteps.

Breakthroughs, layups, fouls...

O'Neal paid a foul and still couldn't stop it.

Bang-dang-!
Iverson was unlucky and didn't score 2+1!

Get 2 free throw opportunities.

Swish-swish-!
2 free throws.

4 to 2! !
The Magic attack.

Iverson bullied Kidd's inaccurate shots and took the initiative to defend.

Unexpectedly, Kidd didn't talk about martial arts, and directly made a jumper three-pointer in front of Iverson...

Iverson didn't respond at all.

Bang-dang-!
really.

Base does not deserve to have a shot.

"The rebound was taken off by Duncan, and the Magic's offense is not over yet..." Mike Breen sighed.

On the field.

Duncan feels that playing Mutombo has no problem at all.

He still chose to distribute the basketball.

Jackson outside the three-point line, catches the ball and shoots a jumper...

Bang-dang-!
Still misses.

O'Neal pulled out the basketball.

The basketball was taken off by McGrady who rushed in.

Iverson is 1 meters and Snow is 83 meters.

McGrady is 2 meters 03, which is not considered a physical talent, as long as McGrady is more active.

The 76ers simply can't grab McGrady.

The same is true.

McGrady dribbled out and continued to shoot three-pointers.

Snow is a top-five point guard defense.

What's the deal with McGrady?
No matter how hard Snow tried, he still couldn't reach it.

Swish-!
Stumbling, the Magic finally, finally made a three-pointer.

4 to 5! !
The Magic team's three-point efficiency is not high, but this goal is very disappointing.

Larry Brown was livid.

That's not the same thing as his 'right basketball' version.

Tactics and non-tactics, people's physical talents are crushed.

Are you saying he hasn't had a chance yet?
Iverson's mentality fluctuated.

Just now the Magic had no solution to their 3-point offense, and continued to shoot two points. Is this still necessary?
After receiving a pass from Snow, Iverson made a three-point jump shot...

It's not his kind of offense.

Three-pointers have always been a flaw in Iverson's offense.

He can only break points tactics.

Bang-dang-!
Sure enough, Iverson's three-pointers were still so poor.

Mutombo was blocked by Duncan, and O'Neal was blocked by Coleman.

Jackson rushes in and grabs the rebound.

To be reasonable, Kidd, McGrady and Jackson averaged more than 5 rebounds per game at their peak.

This alone is very fatal to the 76ers.

Kidd received a pass from Jackson, rushed up and counterattacked.

"It's not just rebounding that's deadly, it's also deadly on the counter.

Iverson rushed back really fast, but it's a pity that there is a bird.

The 76ers' defense is still selling one get one free.

I can't stop it at all..." Mike Brin's eyes were sharp.

Everyone knows that Iverson's defense was given away for nothing.

Snow rushed back, also wanting a one-on-two.

This is very desperate, he simply 'can't keep' Iverson alone.

McGrady made an easy layup and scored two points in a counterattack.

4 to 7! !
Iverson is also pretty awesome.

If you know you can't defend yourself, then you don't want to defend at all, and focus on attacking.

Such Iverson is invincible.

The Magic's defense was rushed to pieces and couldn't stop Iverson from scoring 2 points.

Li Mu's face was very calm.

On the court, the faces of the Magic players were also very indifferent.

Iverson likes to ask for 2 points, so he just let him go.

The Magic just want a three-pointer.

Next, Kidd continued to receive three points.

strike iron?

It's ok.

All players rush for rebounds.

Keep shooting threes.
