Chapter 121 Facing the Philadelphia 76ers
With 4 minutes left in the first quarter, Nelson replaced Young and Battier, and Philadelphia replaced Iguodala and Korver.

At the end of the first quarter, the Grizzlies led Philadelphia by 24 points 19-5.

After the intermission, Nelson once again sent Yang Zhan + Atkins + Posey + Battier + White's running and bombing lineup.

The Philadelphia team is on the outside iron man Iverson, Kevin. Ollie.Striker Iguodala, Korver, center Steven Hunter's one big four small lineup.

The Grizzlies started to attack first and the whole team began to speed up. Yang Zhan held the ball halfway and gave it to Shane Battier who used his speed to run out of position. The latter shot a three-pointer, which was short.

It's the Philadelphia team's turn to attack. Without Chris Webber, this lineup is completely up to Iverson's discretion, and they can play as they want.

After making a big forward change to pass Atkins, facing Kevin Ollie, who made a false pass to the outside line from White, the latter even threw an air ball because he didn't feel good when he first played.

Posey picked up the rebound and passed it to Yang Zhan, who then transferred it to Atkins who had already passed the frontcourt. Unfortunately, facing Iverson, he was cut off by the opponent during a layup, wasting a good counterattack opportunity.

Iverson, who dribbled the ball in the frontcourt, didn't pass the ball this time, went straight to the backcourt, turned around and made a layup.

At this time, Yang Zhan also used White's pick-and-roll to break into the inside line and then distributed it to James Posey on the outside line. After the latter received the ball, he directly shot a three-pointer.hit.

Posey is really accurate this season. Although he doesn't shoot many shots, you really can't let go of 50% shooting.

Returning to the Philadelphia team's offense again, Iverson made the same breakthrough and scored the ball to Iguodala on the outside.

At this time, Yang Zhan's defensive method against Iguodala is to throw shots and not let go, which is also a helpless move. If Yang Zhan defends against the gap in strength and is bumped, he will lose his position.

At this time, Iguodala hesitated a little after receiving the ball, and then shot again, but the rhythm of this hesitation was disrupted by himself.

boom!There was a loud iron strike, and the basketball bounced high and went out of bounds. As expected of a brother, he didn't even give anyone a chance to grab a rebound.

White served the backcourt ball with a depressed face. After receiving the ball, Yang Zhan directly passed the ball to Battier who ran out of the open corner.

The latter adjusted slightly after receiving the ball, and before the Philadelphia team made up defense, he made a second shot and hit!
Here, Iverson broke through and gave it to the outside Korver again. The latter was stuck tightly by Battier. After receiving the ball, he made a very difficult three-pointer from the top of the arc and missed!
Yang Zhan, who grabbed the rebound, immediately launched a fast break, broke through to the basket and passed a back pass to White, who followed behind, and the latter dunked heavily with both hands.

Three shooters from the outside line made Iverson not pass the ball this time. Iverson returned to the singles mode again and made a mid-range shot after dribbling the ball within the three-point line of Atkins. The ball stumbled and entered the basket.

But unless a person has an excellent hand feeling, he can't kill a team. In the second quarter, Iverson broke through the basket and caused White's thug foul.

Philadelphia coach Cheeks immediately replaced Chris Webber, and Don Nelson also replaced Gasol and Eddie Jones seeing the situation.

After the starting lineups of both sides played again, even if the Philadelphia team replaced Chris Webber, it would not help.

Because Gasol's offensive role in the Grizzlies is the same as he is now, but the difference is that Gasol's inside defensive ability has thrown off the current Webber.

Putting on Webber's offense did make the Philadelphia team more fluid, but it also added another defensive colander.

At the end of the second quarter, the score was 54-45 in the first half, with the Grizzlies leading by 9 points.

The referee's whistle sounded, and the players from both sides played again at the end of the intermission. Nelson sent the Grizzlies' second team to prepare for the run-and-gun tactics at the beginning of the third quarter.

And Cheeks sent the starting lineup of the Philadelphia team, the second half of the game officially started, and the Philadelphia team got the first chance to attack.

Iguodala calls a pick-and-roll and throws back to Chris Webber at the free throw line, and it's James Posey standing in his way.

Now Webb was happy, turned around against Posey and made a forced layup. At first, the Philadelphia team used this style of play to tie the score.

But 3 minutes later, because of his age, Chris Webber couldn't keep up with the Grizzlies' running and bombing offense, which opened up the score that was just about to recover.

Six minutes later, Nelson on the sidelines watched Webber slowly adapt to running and bombing, and decisively sent Pau Gasol and a 6-meter center forward during Atkins' free throw.

The Grizzlies, who switched to offensive positions, directly made Chris Webber vomit blood. With about 4 minutes left in the third quarter, Nelson replaced Yang Zhan. At this time, the score was 78 to 65, and the Grizzlies led the Philadelphia team by 13 points.

Returning to the bench, Yang Zhan watched Webber's sluggish state on the field, using his signature dribble to break through again and again, using his thin body to continuously hit the basket and carry the team in his own way. This scene made Yang Zhan sigh.

Because when it comes to Philadelphia and Iverson, they are really tragic figures, let alone what happened in the past, just talk about the past two years.

On February 2 last season, they ushered in the most gorgeous power forward in basketball history, Chris Webber.

As a power forward who can shoot and pass well, although Webber was at the end of his career at the time, he was still recognized by many netizens in the outside media as the best partner of Iverson since his career.

The arrival of Webber also made Philadelphia fans ecstatic at that time. At that time, everyone felt that Iverson, the original lonely hero of the Philadelphia 76ers, was no longer lonely.

Last season, the Philadelphia team did return to the playoffs under the leadership of the two.

But in fact, due to many reasons such as age and injuries, Weber no longer has the demeanor of being a star in the Kings.

So in the playoffs, the Philadelphia 76ers were eliminated by the original Eastern Conference champion Pistons 4-1.

So far this season, the Philadelphia team has a record of 32 wins and 37 losses, ranking tenth in the Eastern Conference. Whether it can make the playoffs is a question.

Not only that, this year's Philadelphia is really eventful, not only the conflict between Iverson and the head coach, the disagreement with the management, but also the dislike of playing with Iverson from Chris Webber.

Just as Yang Zhan sighed, the third quarter was over, the score was 85 to 75, and under Iverson's constant impact, the Philadelphia team struggled to recover 5 points.
