Bishop: since 1998

Chapter 244 The essence, condensed in 183!
Three points, rebounds, counterattacks...

This 76ers team can't hold back.

And this is not the most deadly.

The most deadly thing is that the 76ers' "four guarantees and one tactic" are on the verge of collapse.

In order to clean up Iverson's defensive end.

Larry Brown tinkered and overdrawn the potential accumulated by the 76ers over the years, in exchange for a lot of functional players.

From Theo Latev to Dikembe Mutombo.

From Turon Hill, to Coleman.

From Tonic to Corey Blunt.

……

They all have one characteristic, that is, motorcycles are exchanged for bicycles.

That's right, with Iverson in the lineup, what kind of motorcycle is needed, as long as a bicycle is enough.

They can only defend, not attack, and the value of players will drop one after another.

Plus Larry Brown's 'right basketball' style of play also requires mature old boys to execute.

Unfortunately, Larry Brown never trusted rookies, and he didn't know how to train them. After a few years, the 76ers' family property was wiped out, leaving only a group of veterans.

All the essence are concentrated in the body of '183'.

If the 76ers want to win, Iverson needs to be transformed into a superhero.

Without the "four guarantees and one" defense, only Iverson's offensive firepower will naturally not be able to stop the multi-point blooming of the Magic's star team.

The wind direction of the game quickly turned towards the Magic.

After the first quarter, the score was 31 to 22, and the Magic had a 9-point advantage.

In the second quarter, Larry Brown replaced Aaron McGee and Corey Blunt.

Iverson, Harprin and Coleman continued to stay on the court, playing an 8-man rotation.

Li Mu let Kidd and O'Neal continue to play, and replaced Reed, Maggette and Magloire.

The game started, Iverson continued to rush forward, Kidd couldn't stop him, went to the basket, forced a layup and scored.

Looking back, the Magic continued to play three-point tactics.

The 76ers chose to expand their defense. Kidd passed the ball, assisted Maggette, and scored two points for a slam dunk.

Maggette and Jefferson are similar in style.

With a strong height, a white small forward like Harprin can't stop the impact at all.

Coupled with Kidd's scalpel-like pass, Maggette's performance is very steals.

Fans like his style very much, it's so brutal.

If the 76 team expands their defense, the basket will be smashed. If it is not defended, Reid and Kidd will try to make three-pointers.

The 76ers still rely on Iverson to score alone, and Aaron McGee can only be regarded as half a helper. Under the impact of the Magic, there is nothing left.

At the end of the first half, the 76ers had fallen behind by 20 points.

In the second half, Iverson continued to play without a minute of rest. The offense was still unstoppable, and the breakthrough was also very unsolvable.

But defensively, the 76ers couldn't hold it.

Mutombo was 37 years old and was easily beaten by Duncan.

Coleman is 35 years old, and Jermaine O'Neal beat him very easily.

Harpring couldn't stop Jackson's impact.

The rest of Snow can only defend, regardless of McGrady or Kidd, does the rest of Iverson still have a chance?
The answer is no.

Iverson is the 76ers' answer, but also the 76ers' problem.

When the question cannot be explained, the so-called answer is just that.

Fortunately, the 76ers can't stop the Magic, and they don't need to feel sad when they lose to an opponent like the Magic.

Don't ask, even other teams can't stop it.

After a 47-point victory over the 76ers, the Magic entered a wave of winning streaks, and none of the Eastern Conference teams they encountered could play.

Of course, with the exception of the Western Conference teams, the only tricky team the Magic faced during the entire January schedule was the Kings.

The Kings Princeton's tactics are gradually maturing, and the lineup has gathered suitable players, and the offensive firepower displayed is very strong.

Webber continued to perform at his peak.

Divac isn't too old to impress, either.

Plus outside Bibby, Christie and Stojakovic.

The Magic and the Kings fought hard to attack, and they lost all their underwear.

The starting lineup can still support the past, the rotation lineup, and the bench gangsters who are in excellent condition. The Magic only rely on physical talent, which is not enough.

7 minutes! !!

In the end, the Magic lost by 7 points, and the winning streak was ended again.

Then, throughout January, the Magic had almost no opponents, save for injuries.

Maddie got hurt again.

Li Mu suspected that he might have a vitreous constitution.

Not possible, but sure.

In Li Mu's previous life, McGrady never had a full season in his entire career.

The only year he played the most games was the third year he officially entered the league. McGrady was a contract year and he was just a substitute.

Sign a big contract and play the main force. There are more than 20 games a year, and the least is about 10 games. McGrady will always be absent for a period of time.

Moreover, what caused Li Mu the most headache was that Reed was also injured.

He just replaced McGrady in two starts, but he couldn't play again due to injury.

In fact, Reed was not lucky in his rookie season. He just played a good performance and was injured again.

After adapting to the intensity of the NBA for two years, it took a few years to become hard, and it was not until he encountered a real serious injury that Shen Lun went down.

Fortunately, the Magic has no shortage of forwards and guards.

Maggette and Mike Miller can fill this gap.

Moreover, what delighted Li Mu was O'Neal's outburst.

As January draws to a close, Jermaine O'Neal exploded into a superstar performance, hitting super stats in several consecutive games.

The mid-range shot is accurate, hitting the basket, unstoppable.

It seems that defensively, he also got the hang of it.

Relying on O'Neal's explosion and the thickness of the bench, the Magic ended the January schedule with a record of 13 wins and 1 loss.

The official strength rankings were released in February, and the Magic continued to maintain the number one position in the league with a record of 2 wins and 44 losses.

The Lakers ranked No. 41 with a record of 5 wins and 2 losses.

The Kings ranked No. 40 with a record of 6 wins and 3 losses.

Next, is the Mavericks, ranked No.4.

No one cares, the leaderboard, and everyone's eyes, are focused on the All-Star votes.

On top of the top votes, Carter continued to stand out.

O'Neill chased after him.

In third place is Kobe.

Big cities are powerful.

Jordan only ranked fourth.

No way, his record of leading the Wizards is too bad.

Duncan has the highest number of votes for the Magic, which is half the difference with Carter.

It can only be said that Duncan's playing is really not attractive.

McGrady can't do it either, and he's only half of Carter. Ganba looks fascinated, but he still can't compare with the gorgeous dunk.

Fortunately, the quality of the Magic team is not enough, so they use quantity to make up for it.

In addition to Duncan and McGrady, there is also Kidd, who is also sure to be selected for the All-Star team.

Moreover, Jermaine O'Neal's voice is also very high.

To be reasonable, Mourning was injured, and his data was mediocre. In the Eastern Theater, O'Neal's limelight was only [-] million points worse than Duncan.

In addition, not surprisingly, Li Mu is the head coach of the East Star team, and the Magic may have 2002 players selected for the All-Star team in the 4 All-Star Game.
