Bishop: since 1998

Chapter 66 Iverson gave his answer!
subsection.

Wachovia Center.

Iverson took a step, left everyone behind, counterattacked and scored two points on the fast break.

This ball is stealing Fisher's scoring opportunity.

That's right, Iverson averaged 3.5 turnovers per game due to the life-gamble steals, but the number of steals has been fruitful.

In the 98/99 season, Iverson averaged 2.5 steals per game, ranking No. 2 in the league, and Kendall Gill ranked first in steals with 2.7 times.

In two years, Iverson will be the steals king, averaging 2.2 steals per game in his career.

In other words, Iverson is a well-known iron man, and he can't get out of the line of fire with minor injuries. He averaged 41 minutes per game in his career and 42 minutes per game this season.

If sometimes facing a difficult team, it is commonplace to play the whole game.

Cha Cha Lakers, is such a tricky team.

Second quarter game.

The concentrated essence of Larry Brown's 'correct basketball' is all on Iverson, and he will naturally continue to stay on the court.

At the same time, Aaron McGee, the sixth player, and Teyron Hill, the "zombie man" who just joined the team, don't look at him as ugly. In the 6/94 season, he was selected as an All-Star and peaked at 95+ The 14-year-old power forward is now also a senior blue-collar.

To Li Mu's surprise, the 76ers also sent a two-year rookie in 98.

Larry Hughes at No. 8 and Jalay McConney at No. 29.

It's not a legend, doesn't Larry Brown like to use rookies?

However, soon, Li Mu got the answer.

Those two came on stage just to make up the numbers.

On the court, the offensive firepower is concentrated in the hands of the three musketeers Iverson, Aaron McGee and Tyron Hill. Basically, you swing one and I swing the other.

You know, during this period, Iverson has not fully played shooting guard.

But also to undertake the task of organization.

This is not free Iverson!

Li Mu continued to be on the all-star lineup.

The point guard position was ingeniously played by Fisher.

The current 'little fish' has not gained much weight yet, and its speed is not slow.

Of course, these are not important. The important thing is that the Lakers are the shortest of him.

Therefore, Li Mu assigned him a heavy task and asked him to defend Iverson.

Like Tyronn Lue, staying in front of Iverson at all times, interfering, and reducing Iverson's offensive efficiency is considered a success.

Curry, Rice and Horry, three three-pointers are on the side.

Then, the 76ers blasted the Lakers' perimeter.

Iverson is not limited by Fisher. His speed of 185 cannot compete with the speed of 183 at the ceiling level.

In Li Mu's previous life, Tyronn Lue, who was 00 in the 01/183 season, had never defended against Iverson.

In fact, with the strength of the Lakers at the time, even if O'Neal defended, the Lakers would still win in the end.

Iverson's offensive efficiency was not high. The 76ers at the time couldn't withstand the impact of O'Neal on the inside. This was the main reason for the loss.

At this time, Iverson's speed was too fast, and the change of direction was astonishingly large, so there was nothing wrong with the defender.

Aaron McGee also showed his personal chaotic ability, and Curry's defense has nothing to do with it.

Coupled with Larry Hughes' physical talent and the same impact style of play as Iverson, the Lakers' defense was blown to pieces.

Fortunately, with the 76ers Tyron Hill and rookie Jalay McConey, the two formed the inside line, and they were also beaten by O'Neal.In the future, when the 76ers bought Mutombo, O'Neal knocked him into doubts about his life, and other people came here just to give away points.

At the end of the second quarter, the score was 54 to 46. The Lakers held a luxurious bench. In the duel of the rotation lineup, facing a group of blue-collar workers from the 76ers, they only achieved a 1-point advantage.

I have to say that Larry Brown's 'correct basketball' style of play is really something.

……

In the second half of the game, Li Mu thought, since the defense couldn't stop Iverson from scoring, then he should strengthen the defense against the rest of the 76ers.

Then, let Kobe go one-on-one with Iverson.

To strengthen the defense, the blacksmith team is naturally indispensable.

It's still a lineup of Billups, Kobe, Bowen, Big Ben, and O'Neal.

The lineup coached by Larry Brown is relatively fixed, and he also sent the starting 5 Tigers.

The third quarter started, Iverson attacked with the ball, and Kobe's defense stood in front of him.

"This is a duel between the Philadelphia Twins. The two entered the league at the same time. They are both developing well and fulfilling their talents.

However, isn't it a bit of a joke to use Kobe to face Iverson?
Kobe is too tall, where Iverson's breakthrough can be prevented..."

Sure enough, there was nothing wrong with the commentator's vision.

Iverson's continuous and large changes of direction seemed to freeze Kobe's ankle.

Then, start and accelerate, like a sharp knife, break through for a layup, piercing the heart of the Lakers.

Big Ben rushed over to sweep, and Iverson used his jumping ability to punish Big Ben, scoring 2+1!

Outside the arena, Li Mu shook his head. Da Ben might be meddling in his own business.

This is a superstar's heads-up, is he a 'role player' who can participate?
The offensive and defensive transition, the Lakers attacked, Kobe received the basketball, Iverson wanted to come over automatically, and try the depth of Kobe's offense.

Kobe made a three-threat offense, feinted in the air, stepped on his long legs, and accelerated to take a step inside.

Immediately ignored Iverson's defense, twisted his waist, jumped up, stayed in the air, raised his hand for two points and shot a fallback jumper...

"Iverson automatically finds Kobe to defend, too sloppy!

With Iverson's body, he just needs to be in charge of the offense.

For defense, just leave it to Snow. "

Swish-!
Kobe directly regarded Iverson as an air defense, drew his gun and fired angrily, scoring two points.

Next, Kobe continued to defend Iverson alone, and the other players did not intervene, each defending his own people.

Then, the formation shrinks.

No way, the 76ers have no concept of shooting three-pointers at all.

Except for the "free" Iverson, other players not only can't shoot well by themselves, but also get scolded by the head coach when they shoot three-pointers.

In this way, Li Mu saw the picture of Iverson single-handedly driving the ball to the inside.

Shaking his head, it's no wonder that people say that Iverson's scoring leader is too weak, and his shooting rights account for half of the team. If Grandma O'Neal goes up, it is estimated that Iverson can also win the scoring leader.

The weird thing is that Iverson magically scored many incredible goals.

The Lakers blocked the inside line, but Iverson was able to pass through people like a butterfly and throw the damn basketball into the basket.

Not to mention, as the opponent's head coach, Li Mu was also attracted by Iverson's personal hero basketball.

"Iverson gave his answer, he did everything he could on offense.

It's a pity that his teammates' help on offense is too limited. "

"Iverson tried to break through the pass, but as a result, the offensive firepower of his teammates was only sporadic.

For the offensive firepower of the "OK combination" Lakers, it is still too little, a drop in the bucket. "

On the field, the Lakers' strong individual defense and strong mobility made Iverson fall into a solo fight.

Snow was originally here to defend, and he didn't have precise shots. His main attack method was to hit the basket.

At this time, Billups' defense has already made him uncomfortable, and it is too difficult for him to attack the inside line with no space.

George Lynch is also just a defensive small forward, and it can be regarded as a match against Bowen, and the offense is redundant.

The 76ers can't hit the outside line, so don't even think about being able to shake the inside line guarded by Big Ben and O'Neal.

Even Theo Ratliff and Matt Geiger are high-end blue-collar workers.

In front of superstar O'Neal and Big Ben, wanting to hit the basket is simply looking for death.

After the third quarter, the score between the two sides has been stretched to 13 points.

Just looking at the score difference, it seems that there is still suspense in the game, but, in the face of the Lakers' strong physical talent, a group of blue-collar workers on the 76ers team are restricted to death.

Iverson has no space to attack the inside, and his offensive efficiency cannot be improved, so he can only bet on three-pointers.

Then, Iverson's sporadic three-point firepower was directly submerged in the Lakers' three-point shooters, without a trace of splash.

hum~~
On the scoreboard, a buzzer sounded, and the game time was over.

With a score of 108 to 92, the Lakers have a 15-point advantage, defeating the 76ers and expanding the number of victories in the new season to 27 games.

In the competition with O'Neal for the scoring title, Iverson won the victory in personal data. The team made 81 shots. Iverson made 36 of 17 shots, 8 of 3 three-pointers, 6 of 4 free throws, 41 points, 10 assists and 5 rebounds, his personal data is amazing.

It's just a pity that there was too little offensive support from teammates. Only 3 of the others scored in double figures. The highest was George Lynch who made 7 of 6 shots and scored 13 points and 8 rebounds.

湖人队那边，奥尼尔24投14中，罚球11中5，轰下33分14篮板4助攻3盖帽，个人得分数据比不上艾弗森。

His teammates were very competitive, Kobe had 24 points, 7 assists and 5 rebounds.

Rice had 19 points and 4 rebounds, and Billups had 13 points and 6 assists.

On the lineup card, the 76ers are simply not allowed to live!
