From today on is the king

Chapter 686 685. I feel that IQ has taken over the high ground (ask for a monthly ticket!)

I don’t know who exposed Liu Mang’s provocation in the locker room of the 76ers. The picture revealed by an insider is like this...

Liu Mang rushed in without looking at Iverson, arrogantly expressing that he wanted to prevent Iverson from scoring 20 points, but Iverson looked confused and a little aggrieved, and was puzzled by the provocation of this junior who he had taken care of during the All-Star Weekend...

When this matter reached the Eagles, the teammates felt... so normal...

And Coach Kruger really wanted to call the coaching staff to drag Liu Mang out and beat him up!Looking at Liu Mang who gathered his teammates together to discuss how to deal with Iverson, I really don't know what to say.

Originally, it is not so easy to play consecutive away games. The whole team is at the peak of physical consumption. It is not easy to meet the 76ers, the fourth-to-last opponent in the league.
……

Liu Mang is also very helpless here!
The situation at that time was not as mysterious as the news from the staff of the 76ers that I just saw.

The picture at that time did look like that, but the real situation in the hearts of the two is this. Iverson was guilty because he scolded Liu Mang in his heart, and Liu Mang just appeared again, so Iverson looked surprised and flustered.

Liu Mang doesn't want to say that at all, even if you want to make trouble, don't aim at provoking the other party, there are many ways to make trouble!Why go to one of the best shooting guards in the league to force his death?After he finished speaking, he ran away without giving Iverson a chance to react...

Seeing is not necessarily believing. What I saw and the impressions I made of the two made Liu Mang and Iverson "broken" in the eyes of the fans...

After discussing with his teammates how to deal with Iverson, Liu Mang went to the bathroom alone, feeling sad...

"The Challenger Mission: The Real Answer."

"Because of the influence of the host, Allen Iverson reflected on his career and tried to change his career at a critical turning point when he was about to pass his peak period. He began to find his real answer and challenge his career. The challenger task: the real answer triggers."

"The real answer: The host needs to prevent Allen Iverson from changing his style of play, stimulate Allen Iverson's desire to score, and interrupt the process of trying to change his style of play. Mission objective: Go to the Allen Iverson locker room to issue a defensive challenge before the start of the game, claiming to limit the opponent's scoring to less than 20 points, and successfully complete the declaration during the game. Mission reward: Allen Iverson 2000-2001 version of the star card, failure penalty: the host needs to wear golden underwear and Dennis- Rodman danced in nightclubs together."

"Due to the growing influence of the host on the NBA, more and more stars have changed their career trajectories and playing thinking. Change is a matter of self-challenge. The host needs to be a barrier to their self-challenge. The challenger series of missions are triggered, and the host is rewarded with 5000 star points."

Liu Mang is sitting on the toilet, looking up at the sky at a 45-degree angle with his head raised... It's not that my old Liu insists on doing something!Why does everyone think that my old Liu is that kind of person!Master was forced!
……

……

It is very rare for Liu Mang to be booed in Philadelphia. Even when the 76ers were eliminated in the playoffs last season, there were still fans yelling at the side of the player tunnel to cheer the Eagles on and beat the Lakers in the finals.

Of course, in the end, the Eagles failed to make it to the finals, and the Lakers didn't make it to the finals either.

But today, Liu Mang was booed for the first time at the home court of this "friend team"!
After Ratliff played as the team's nominal second brother, Liu Mang played second, and the audience boos a lot!

In just a few hours, the whole world knows what Liu Mang did when he came to the Wachovia Center in the afternoon!
Philadelphia fans' love for Iverson does not need to be repeated in words. The title of Son of Philadelphia is the best synonym.

Philadelphia fans liked Liu Mang very much in the past, but now, they hate Liu Mang very much!
They feel that their idol has been "cheated", and that kid is a white-eyed wolf!

If Kobe went to the locker room of the home team to provoke Iverson, the fans would think it was normal. They would have liked to boo Kobe even though Kobe was a real Philadelphian.

Who would have imagined that now that Liu Mang "turned his face and refused to recognize anyone", relying on himself as the MVP and the top scorer, he would "not treat Iverson as a big brother". This made the Philadelphia fans feel hurt in their hearts, so they booed even more!

Listening to the booing, Liu Mang felt so wronged... He became more determined to target Iverson, so I told you to boo!
After all the players from the visiting team came out, Liu Mang looked at the home team.

Others are not important, even the big dog looking at the Eagles with the expression of wanting to eat people, did not let Liu Mang stay for a second longer. There is only one person in Liu Mang's eyes - Allen Iverson!
To Liu Mang's surprise, after Iverson came out, his expression was nothing special, and he waved happily to all the fans.

Ten months later, Iverson played again at the Wachovia Center. In addition, Iverson won a triple-double in the away game at the Palace of Auburn Hills and defeated the third best team in the Eastern Conference.

Liu Mang felt a little weird, why didn't this guy look angry?
Shouldn't it be out of resentment that you want to kill Ben's favorite scorer?Liu Mang felt so strange!

Liu Mang watched as the last 76ers team player came out, the leader of the 76ers team, and the lights came on. The team staff came out and handed some balled up jerseys to Iverson.

Even the gloomy face of Glenn Robinson, who was often booed and cheered by Iverson when he came back, was ignored.

Liu Mang shook his head and didn't think so much. He picked up the ball thrown by the staff on the ground. He didn't care about the bad attitude of the visiting team staff today. While practicing shooting, he asked in his heart: "Iverson's current strength?"

"Ding... Allen Iverson's ability rating is 95, offense is 99, defense is 73, three-pointer is 75, mid-range shooting is 88, layup is 90, speed is 95, explosive speed is 98, strength is 77, passing is 87..."

"This guy who doesn't like training actually secretly trained behind my master's back!" Liu Mang was stunned when he saw Iverson's ability evaluation!

It is true that Iverson's personal ability evaluation is not as good as his 00 ability evaluation in the 01-97 season. His layup is a bit worse, his speed and explosive speed have declined, and his physical fitness has declined. This is mainly due to the impact of this major surgery. This kind of thing is irreversible and inevitable.

But I didn't expect Iverson, who could only be considered top-notch in the CIC, is now close to the top!

In the past, Iverson mainly used mid-range shooting as his main shooting method. In the first seven seasons, his mid-range shooting percentage was very stable at 30.00%.
It must have been secretly trained!
This made Liu Mang feel that Iverson wanted to play for real!It's really starting to shift!

Iverson, who has become stronger in the CIC, although his speed has dropped to 95, is still one of the top two or three players in the league, okay!The burst speed is 98, and only TJ-Ford and Wade's first step can do it!
This kind of Iverson has become more difficult to guard against!In particular, the passing evaluation has increased from 77 last season to 87. It's not that Iverson's passing ability was not good before, but because he was unwilling to pass, so the evaluation is low.

It made Liu Mang feel a little happy. Iverson really started to challenge himself. Since this is the case, Liu Mang decided to become the strongest resistance for Iverson to challenge himself!
Just kidding!
If the transformation of this little dwarf is successful, there will be another strong opponent in the future.

Moreover, if this guy can't even resist his own provocation and can't challenge himself, how can he truly succeed in self-challenge?

Liu Mang found a reason for cheating his friends that could best comfort his conscience...

……

……

The game is about to start, Liu Mang and Boozer walked onto the court after hugging.

The Eagles sent Liu Mang, Prince, Raheem, Muhammad, and Rasheed Wallace to the starting lineup.

Since it is necessary to rely on defense to deal with Iverson, Muhammad is naturally much better than Boozer. Ratliff continues to rest, Rasheed Wallace tops the center position, and Muhammad tops the starting power forward position.

As for the offensive end... Except for Eric Snow and Kenny Thomas, the 76ers' defense is looked down upon by the Eagles.

Liu Mang has provoked the matter, so the coaching staff will naturally have to wipe their ass. Mike Woodson helped Liu Mang formulate a more complete defensive tactic to defend Iverson.

Schwartz was also in pain. He was preparing to do something indescribable with a starlet who didn’t know how many lines, and then he received a call from his subordinates. Liu Mang was doing something again. After knowing the details, he had to wipe Liu Mang’s ass, put down the beauty to do public relations, and find some well-connected media to publicize this matter as much as possible. In order to stimulate Iverson’s motivation, Liu Mang wanted to fight the strongest Iverson...

The 76ers sent Eric Snow, Iverson, Glenn Robinson, Kenny Thomas, Samuel Dalembert.

For the 76ers, after the All-Star Weekend, the old No. 76 pick Derek Coleman, who had been suffering from constant injuries, said that he would retire and stop playing. The [-]ers also respected his choice. They bought out his contract, and Dalembert officially took the starting position.

Dalembert is also considered to be in the early days. His rookie season with strong physical fitness did not have a chance to perform. Mutombo was at the end of his peak at that time, and he was reimbursed for the second-year preseason game. In the third grade, he was in the case of Coleman who was often unable to play due to injuries.
Rasheed Wallace and Dalembert come to the middle circle for a jump ball.

Dalembo is particularly bad, his physical fitness is really strong!Beat Rasheed Wallace to win the jump ball.

The cheers on the scene boiled again!The Eagles have become the enemy of the 76ers!

Liu Mang saw that Dalembert jumped up and stretched out his hand beyond Rasheed Wallace's advantage, and couldn't help but yelled out, and immediately came to the top arc to defend Iverson.

Sure enough, Iverson received the ball and quickly killed it.

Even though Iverson's speed has slowed down a bit after returning from major surgery, in Liu Mang's view, that speed is still too scary!As fast as the little French sports cars that are still young!Maybe the fastest player in the league than Iverson is TJ Ford, who has not been seriously injured yet!

Liu Mang's blocker level 5 ability predicted Iverson's path, and immediately blocked him from outside the three-point line, allowing Iverson to explode and accelerate beyond the three-point line, and even the interference could not be interfered!
Iverson saw Liu Mang jumping out, and stopped suddenly, but his hands and feet did not stop. He made a fake move to the left with his right foot, which tricked Liu Mang's defensive movement, then held the ball with his left hand down in the air and slapped it vigorously to the left, and made a super-large change of direction to the right, wiped Liu Mang all at once, and rushed into the three-point line!
This year, Liu Mang has not experienced Iverson's flower-crossing butterfly walk, but only seen Kobe's copycat version. Kobe's one looks exaggerated, but Iverson's is even more exaggerated!He is faster than Kobe!Liu Mang made a mistake, and Iverson lived a clean life!

But Liu Mang had already expected this, what he wanted was for Iverson to change direction, no matter how fast Iverson was, it would take a little time to change direction, especially his iconic pull-up fake move that took the most time, Iverson rushed into the three-point line and took two steps, a two-point pull-up jump shot!

After Liu Mang was passed, there were cheers at the scene, but Liu Mang was not too anxious, his teammates had already attacked!

The reason why Iverson made an emergency stop was because Muhammad appeared close to the free throw line first, and at the moment of his shot, Prince and Raheem from the outside line had already pinched.

Liu Mang turned around and chased after Iverson, better to catch the ball and counterattack immediately!

There was no obstacle at all. Iverson was stunned by the defense of the opponent's four players. After picking up the ball, Liu Mang rushed forward and smashed the ball into the basket easily.

Although the jump ball lost, the Eagles scored first!

From the jump ball to Iverson's breakthrough to Liu Mang's dunk, it took less than 12 seconds!

After scoring a goal, Liu Mang pointed his gun at Iverson excitedly, with a "boom boom boom" mouth shape, trying to continue to stimulate Iverson's emotions.

But Iverson ran back and just took a look at Liu Mang, and then went to catch the ball, without catching the ball at all.

Hearing louder boos at the scene, Liu Mang scratched his head and ran back to his own half. What's going on?Iverson played singles when he came up. It should be a successful provocation, but why is he so calm?

……

The 76ers were still attacking. Iverson returned to the half court and received the ball to push forward. After looking at the positioning of his teammates, the dog went to the bottom corner and did not move. The coach completely ignored the tactics and just stood and waited for the ball to shoot.

After halftime, Iverson started to accelerate from the center line again.

Liu Mang looked at Iverson's desperate speed and thought of the more terrifying explosive speed of the opponent after changing directions, but he didn't feel scared, but was very excited. This is what he wanted. Looking at Iverson's movements, it was clear that he wanted to continue playing singles. Liu Mang immediately rushed to interfere with Iverson's speed.

Iverson once again passed Liu Mang by making a big change of direction through the flower-piercing butterfly step. Liu Mang defended harder, but if Iverson's breakthrough could be defended alone, he would not be the scariest little man in history and was eliminated again.

Liu Mang immediately turned around and chased after Iverson, flanking Iverson with his teammates.

Raheem and Prince rushed up again, and Iverson also jumped up within the three-point line.

Just when Liu Mang thought that the flank attack was about to succeed again, Iverson passed the ball!
He jumped up this time not to shoot at all, but threw it to the left corner!
There's only one guy there - Glenn Robinson!
Glenn Robinson didn't expect Iverson to pass him the ball!He was stunned when he received the ball, and then he was very excited. As long as he did not score 20 points, he would go all out excitedly every time he got the ball, and when he was playing against the Eagles, he could go all out excitedly throughout the game.

After receiving the ball, Glenn Robinson adjusted, and made a three-pointer with a wide gap and easily hit it!

After landing, Iverson looked at Liu Mang staring at him in astonishment, and while returning to defense, his left hand bounced to the left, and his right hand pointed his forehead like a gun, and he returned to defense with a big smile.

been played!

Liu Mang looked at Iverson's celebratory gesture, which probably meant "the brain is a good thing", and felt that he was being played against!

The fans at the scene watched Iverson's response to the celebration, and the audience cheered!
When Iverson broke through the emergency stop and took off just now, the fans couldn't help shouting "NO..." when they saw the Eagles players pinching up, but Iverson passed the ball just like him in the previous game!And also got a three-point assist!
This guy really started his own self-challenge!Liu Mang didn't expect Iverson to pass the ball, it was so scary!If you don't look at the defense, Iverson is even scarier than Paul, the most reasonable player in Liu Mang's impression in the future!Because he has much better scoring ability than Paul, he can create more passing opportunities with single play alone!
It seems... I have created one terrifying opponent after another for myself!
Thinking of this, Liu Mang's first reaction was pain, but he felt his blood was boiling!

……

Next, Iverson started to perform actively, with many people double-teaming, especially Glenn Robinson’s defender Raheem came to double-team. Iverson passed to Glenn Robinson, and Snow’s shot was out of reach.

If Muhammad or Rasheed Wallace also came to defend, Iverson can pass inside.

I have to say that Glenn Robinson's talent is really good, the touch is too soft, and the open three-pointer is swishing. It really doesn't look like a person who is unwilling to train, forcing Raheem to mark his stance shots. In this way, only Liu Mang and Prince defend Iverson, which is really difficult to guard against!
Clamp it on, he will force the inside to attract defensive strong shots or pass the inside, iron is iron, but the two insiders of the 76ers are double-double champions on the board, Raheem was pulled out and dare not come in, Muhammad and Rasheed Wallace are at a disadvantage in rebounding!
The main reason is that Iverson is willing to pass the ball!Kenny Thomas is very conscious to open up space to receive the ball or shoot or pass when the defender is blocking Iverson. The former Rockets' powerful forward swingman has played his personal ability well and helped Iverson organize the offense.

The point is that the established defensive strategy of the Eagles was caught off guard by the 76ers!Even for Mike Woodson, the plan for the entire game was aimed at the 76ers' singles, because the 76ers are a singles team this year, relying on Kenny Thomas and Dalembert's rebound protection ability to play inside, that is, pure talent, but they don't have too much talent, so the record is poor.

But I didn't expect Iverson to connect the entire team together!
This year when Iverson was resting, he did not go to nightclubs all day long as before, but kept reflecting. He loved and hated Liu Mang. He felt that Liu Mang had affected his life. He was not as free and easy as before, but he was very grateful because of the pressure brought by Liu Mang and the influence of Liu Mang's way of dealing with people, so that he could calm down and reflect.

This year Iverson has been paying attention to every player on his team and understanding their style of play. Therefore, in the two games he came back, he played a nearly perfect offensive organization!

With 5 assists in a single quarter, Iverson revitalized the 76ers' offense!
The Eagles were obviously not prepared for this. Mike Woodson arranged the defense according to the inherent impression of the 76ers. The Eagles players were also ready to help Liu Mang defend Iverson. Unexpectedly, Iverson was organizing the offense.

After the first quarter, the 76ers scored 33 points, the highest score in a single quarter of the season!
The Eagles also scored well, scoring 27 points in the first quarter, which is a normal performance.

But the 76ers are not normal!The Eagles actually trailed the 76ers by 6 points in the first quarter!
With a guy like Iverson who is a huge offensive threat and has explosive physical fitness, the 76ers' style of play is very simple. Iverson breaks through the ball, a spot-up shooter on the weak side, and an air cut on the strong side is enough. It's all because of Iverson!

Iverson scored 9 points and 5 assists in the first quarter, revitalizing the 76ers!
……

During the break, Liu Mang watched Iverson on the other side of the bench and his old teammate Snow twisting his body to the sound of the music during the break. He also glanced at Liu Mang from time to time, mainly at his little rascal. Liu Mang felt very angry!
I am too careless!

Iverson was very calm. Three hours ago, after Liu Mang left, he sat in the corner of the locker room with a gloomy face and thought for a long time, but he was not really angry, but felt very strange.

Although Liu Mang was an asshole, Iverson knew that this guy was definitely not the kind of ungrateful person, so Iverson was not angry from the beginning, but felt that there was a conspiracy!
When he broke through for the first time after the start of the game, he saw the whole team of the Eagles pressing forward. He immediately thought of the first match between him and Liu Mang. Liu Mang deliberately provoked his subsequent defense, which made his own judgment more clear!
This guy deliberately wants to stimulate his desire to score and not let himself pass the ball!

Iverson is a little proud of this. In his opinion, the last game against the Pistons was upset by passing the ball, which must have brought pressure to this guy!That's what the scumbag came for.

Iverson now feels that he has occupied the high ground of IQ!
Iverson's guess was pretty good. After confirming the Eagles' defense with the first ball, Iverson started his assist performance and successfully led the score by 6 points. Now he is proudly fighting back against Liu Mang's provocation.

Liu Mang looked at the situation in front of him, no way!
Iverson is defending, but the game is going to lose!
One-to-one anti-locking other people?Just kidding!Single defense against Iverson who returned from injury?Who can do it!
Suddenly a proud face appeared in Liu Mang's sight, Glenn Robinson who scored 14 points in a single quarter...

Liu Mang thought about it, and immediately pulled Prince, who was covered in circles, to the sidelines, and asked Prince to dance to Iverson and Snow together.

Isn't it just a dance?Who is afraid of whom!
