Bishop: since 1998

Chapter 115 Is Iverson Proud?
Bang-dang-!
In the arena, the sound of O'Neal raging at the basket sounded.

Catch, chip, turn, dunk... so what?
With the 76ers inside, there is still no way to take O'Neal.

Center Matt Geiger is just a high-level blue-collar player, and power forward Theo Ratliff is lucky to be there. On the surface, the statistics are a bit better, but he is still a blue-collar player in his bones.

You know, this is still in the East, and you can't get an All-Star ticket.

If it is placed in the West, Theo Ratliff will be beaten. The Eastern star team would rather choose the outside line than the inside line. It is not without reason.

On the outside, the 76ers have the strength to compete with the Lakers.

Iverson made consecutive Crossovers, unable to stop Billups' speed and center of gravity.

After passing Billups, Iverson bit the bullet and rushed into the penalty area.

No way, the Lakers blocked the inside and let the 76ers shoot three-pointers from the outside. Didn't this kill Larry Brown?
In other words, Larry Brown's "correct basketball" does not have a term for shooting three-pointers.

beep~~
The referee's whistle sounded.

The basketball, with a swish, fell into the basket at the same time.

Iverson was tough enough to fight his way out and score 2+1!

At the free throw line, Iverson was not relentless and made free throws steadily.

2 to 3! !
Offensive and defensive transition, or look for O'Neal.

Larry Brown is not good at offense, but his defense is master level. Matt Geiger defends against it alone, Theo Ratliff comes to help defend and block, the two wings shrink and intercept the ball, Iverson interferes with the pass, pinches to death O'Neill on this.

As for the others, whether it can be prevented or not depends on fighting spirit.

It's a pity that the fighting spirit couldn't prevent the Lakers' offense. Kobe ran without the ball, and hit two points after receiving the ball from the weak side.

4 to 3! !
Iverson broke through, pierced through flowers and butterflies, threw his body into the penalty area, hit the board and hit two points.

4 to 5! !
It is said that Iverson's scoring champion relies on a large number of shots.

This statement... is not wrong!

Is Iverson proud?
We have the strength to single out the entire defense of the Lakers, can't we?

No!

Assist teammates?

That's not his job.

Don't you know, has he switched to shooting guard?

To be reasonable, the 'four shooting guards' should be Kobe, Carter, Tracy McGrady and Ray Allen.

It can only be said that Ray Allen is too hip, and Iverson became a monk halfway, he can't compare.

The Lakers attacked, Billups gave the ball to Kobe, received the ball, Kobe jumped up, flicked in the air, and with a bang, O'Neal made an alley-oop and scored two points.

6 to 5! !
The OK combination connection is already unstoppable.

Now there is Billups' organization pass and the tactics of flanking O'Neal, which is simply courting death.

Six minutes before the first quarter of the game, Iverson singled out O'Neal, and the offensive firepower composed of Kobe and Billups actually played back and forth without losing the wind.

Except for Iverson's scoring, the 76ers rely on picking up misses and occasionally making up points. This kind of Iverson is too strong.

The situation of the game was a bit anxious, but Billups stood up to break the game, still in a way that Larry Brown didn't like.

In the 7th minute, Billups made a sudden three-pointer in the frontcourt.

Iverson was careless and was caught off guard.

Immediately afterwards, Iverson was not careless, and the defense was in place, but Billups still hit a three-pointer head-on.

Don't ask, asking is a defensive failure.

Iverson is 1 meters, which is still a false report. Billups is 83 meters, and his height is naturally misplaced.

Larry Brown could only call a timeout, interrupting the Lakers' shooting touch while allowing Iverson and Snow to switch defenses.

Iverson is a small guard with a point guard body and a shooting guard offense.

Snow is a guard who has the body of a shooting guard but no offense.

The backcourt combination of the two just complemented each other.

The game came back, Kobe broke out again, broke through, pulled up, stayed in the air, and shot a two-point fadeaway...

Iverson's snake tactics are useless in front of Kobe.

Kobe was not fooled, and made a strong shot directly, and Iverson couldn't reach it at all.

Whoever Iverson defends, the offense will explode. Is it necessary to defend Bowen.

Not to mention, the 76ers tried to let Iverson defend Bowen.

Then, Lynch, George and Snow, man-mark Kobe and Billups.

As a result, the Lakers hit the inside, and the outside opened up space. O'Neal received the ball, slammed the defense, jumped up, and slammed the basket with both hands.

The defense that the 76ers are proud of has been peeled off layer by layer and stretched.

After the first quarter, the score was 28 to 21, and the Lakers led the 7ers by 76 points.

Iverson scored 15 points and 2 assists in a single quarter.

Reluctantly, O'Neal and Kobe, as well as Billups' 'team' basketball, are hard to guard against.

In the second quarter, Li Mu continued to let Kobe play, replacing Fisher, Rice, Lewis and AC Green.

The 76ers' bench lineup is also quite good. Iverson is an iron man, and Theo Ratliff continues to stay on the court.

Replaced with the 95 All-Star Tyron Hill, this season has returned to the peak, averaging 12 points and 9 rebounds per game.

Also Aaron McGee and Tony Kukchi, both of whom won the personal honor of the best 6 players, and their offensive strength is quite good.

Larry Hughes has been put on the bench by Larry Brown, no problem, he is not good at cultivating rookies.

The game started in the second quarter. Iverson dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, changed direction, broke into the penalty area, pulled the ball and made a two-point jump shot...

Bang-dang-!
Basketball strikes iron, on the sidelines, Larry Brown yelled at him.

Lewis grabbed the rebound, Fisher dribbled the ball upcourt and passed it to Bryant.

Facing McGee, a strong offensive and defensive substitute, Kobe made a strong breakthrough and made a two-point fadeaway jumper...

Bang-dang-!
The two sons of Philadelphia suddenly soared, and what's more, the soaring was still hitting the iron again and again.

The second quarter lasted 3 minutes before Iverson took the lead in breaking the game, broke through and made a foul, and scored 2 points at the free throw line.

However, inexplicably confronting Biao and letting teammates just watch, they are completely useless teammates.

Looking back, Lewis hit a three-pointer to help the Lakers stop the bleeding.

Next, Iverson felt the touch and made frequent shots.

Kobe became more and more courageous in the battle. After hitting the basket and scoring two points, he used his poor three-pointer to show his offensive ability.

The 76ers' offense, a good offensive lineup, slowly played out. Tony Kukchi broke through and hit two points in the mid-range shot.

Tyron Hill grabbed the offensive rebound and made a two-pointer with a tip-up.

McGee also singled out Kobe and scored two points.

Fortunately, compared with the Lakers, that team's rotation is much paler.

Rice also showed the ability of an All-Star shooter, frequently hitting jump shots for the Lakers.

The 76ers didn't get a chance to narrow the gap.

With O'Neal and Billups back on the court.

At this time, the lineup became Billups, Rice, Lewis, AC Green and O'Neal.

Relying on the inside advantage, the score was gradually pulled to double digits.

After the second quarter, the score was 57 to 45. The Lakers took a 12-point lead and entered the locker room to recuperate.
