In the basketball world, starting from the 99 World Youth Championship

Chapter 252 Taking down Philadelphia
Bibby doesn't like to face two types of guards, one is Kidd, who is worse than him in defense and organization, and then there are Iverson, Kevin Johnson, and the Beatles, whose defense is not as good as him, but the speed In terms of scoring, he is completely overwhelmed. No matter how strong his physical fitness is, it is useless to keep up with the rhythm, especially Tim Hardaway and Iverson. Their crossover is Bibby's most hated move. Damn it, control it well What are Wei Zheng doing all those bells and whistles? Isn't it good to serve the team wholeheartedly?

The starters on the Philadelphia side are Iverson, Vernon Maxwell, Derek Strong, Theo Ratliff, and last year's second-round pick, Canadian Todd McCloch.

The following Canadians played against Yao Ming during the Olympic warm-up match, and he just won the best rookie of the month, which is when his morale is high. The best of the month in the East belongs to Mike Miller, although the magic has changed a lot , but Miller still won the best of the month in the Eastern Conference. Kenyon Martin's ability to eat cakes is good, but Marbury's ability to feed cakes is obviously not as good as that of Kidd and Nash. In addition to being able to reflect value on the defensive end, the constant shrinkage is really a piece of wood on the offensive end.

Because of Eddie Jones' cold, Sidney Rowe put him on the bench. Doug Christie came up. He will face Iverson on the defensive end, although he is treated like a dog by his wife off the court However, on the court, Christie was still the dreaded scalpel.

Against Iverson today, the Grizzlies played two people. Philadelphia and the Grizzlies are one of the teams with the best defense this season. Iverson played Bibby and used his signature killer in the first round He dribbled the ball and passed Bibby smoothly. Doug Christie made up for it. Christie had played a lot in the Eastern Conference before, so Iverson still had a good understanding of him. The answer was quick and he patted the ball to another With one hand and one crotch, he turned around, passed a Grizzlies defender again, and came towards the Grizzlies penalty area. Raheem, the third pick of the same session, came over. Iverson scored so easily, but his center of gravity was too high. Iverson didn't adjust his posture, and passed the ball into the basket under the opponent's armpit.

This is so embarrassing, Zhang Tian takes the ball to attack, Derek Strong is not used to it, and directly fights with his body, Larry Brown shows a fatherly smile, this is right, this is defense Well, what is defense without a confrontation? Zhang Tian and Derek Strong are not much different in size, and Zhang Tian still has the advantage in terms of strength. So after this confrontation, it is Derek Strong who retreats. Seeing this gap , Zhang Tian directly chose to shoot from the outside. Vernon Maxwell, as a member who can help defend, did not come over, but looked at Doug Christie.

This made Larry Brown very angry, but thinking of the other party's salary, Larry Brown's heart became angry. It really is cheap and good goods are not cheap. A player with a basic salary, you can't ask him to be a middle-class player. What happened is just like the future Kuzma. The salary is only a little over 1000 million dollars, but the fans ask him to bear tens of millions of dollars. Isn’t this nonsense, and Vernon Maxwell can Not as easy to bully as Kuzma, this guy is an out-and-out cancer.

For example, in a game against Portland in 95, he suddenly rushed into the stands and knocked a 35-year-old fan to the ground. He paid a price of [-] US dollars for this. Get a vacation to pretend to be injured, and the result is that the mosaic is cut directly.Later, after signing with Philadelphia, marijuana was found in the car, and Payton fought in the locker room. This guy is an out-and-out lunatic, worthy of his nickname "Mad Max" (Mad Max) Max), you can think of him as a Terry, JR kind of player who is more defensive but has a bad brain.

So Larry Brown didn't dare to yell at Maxwell. The Philadelphia head coach was thinking about how to find a reliable guard to cut this guy, but Billy King said that it would be difficult for the team to continue signing. , but with Philadelphia's current lineup, it's too difficult to break out of the East.

Maxwell's defense is good, but he depends entirely on his mood. When he is in a good mood, his defense can enter the second team of the defensive lineup in the NBA. But when he is in a bad mood, like just now, he just watches. with.

This guy, like Iverson, is a guy who played football. Iverson played quarterback, and this guy is capable of playing any position in the football defense team, but his temper and personality are too weird, and football is very important to the team. His cooperation is higher than that of basketball, so he chose to continue to specialize in basketball instead of football. Of course, the most important thing is that 90.00% of football superstars are quarterbacks, and 90.00% of the outstanding representatives of quarterbacks are white. Although in the era of Zhang Tiantravel, black quarterbacks such as Cam Newton emerged in the NFL, but these people want to reach the level of Redskins star Doug Williams who won the Super Bowl MVP. It's hard.Because when Zhang Tian was reborn, the old goblin Brady won another Super Bowl MVP in Campa Bay, and his total number of Super Bowls was more than some teams.It's really scary.

Iverson has a slightly better personality than Vernon Maxwell, but the two of them basically look at each other and hate each other in the team. Iverson doesn't understand why the team wants to sign This is stupid, and because of the trade of Tony Kukoc, Billy King and the Eagles talked about Uncle Mu's deal again. The other bargaining chip is Iverson, but it is obviously impossible for Philadelphia to trade Iverson.

So Larry Brown can only try his best to stimulate the potential of Todd McCloch and Theo Ratliff. If their potentials are both stimulated, the two together will definitely be better than Uncle Mu alone, although The latter is at the level of the best defensive player, but now which defensive insider does not have this award, and those who do not have it are ashamed to say hello to others when they go out.Except for Payton, Erwin Robertson, and Moncrief who can snatch the four best defensive players from the hands of Muscle. Stick, the other best defensive players are obtained from the inside.

In fact, the game was very average. Both sides were defending like a meat grinder. Iverson didn't have the touch he had when he played Portland. He handed in 20 of 6 answers in the game. Points, if not for 18 free throws.And Zhang Tian also took 5 shots, but he scored 20 points, 30 of 20.This made Rick Barry have something to say after the game.
