Bishop: since 1998

Chapter 250 The upper limit is not high, give up treatment!
The first round ended quickly.

The Magic rested for nearly a week before the Eastern Conference semifinals started.

The opponent is the winner between the 76ers and the Pistons, the 76ers.

The two teams battled to 5. In the end, Iverson took advantage of the home court and scored 44 points and 7 assists. He led the 76ers to the Eastern Conference semifinals with a score of 3 to 2.

On the other side, the Knicks played against the Celtics, both of which scored 3 to 2.

In the eastern theater, a scene of chickens pecking at each other was performed.

Except for the Magic who made it through cleanly, the other teams have all gone through life-and-death battles.

On June 5th, Orlando, TD Waterhouse Center Arena.

In the Eastern Conference semifinals, the game between the Magic and the 76ers is about to start.

During the simple appearance and warm-up, the big screen in the arena showed the starting lineups of the two teams tonight.

Magic 5 people, McGrady, Kidd, Jackson, Duncan, O'Neal.

The 76ers started, Snow, Iverson, Matt Harprin, Coleman, Mutombo.

At the start of the jump ball, Duncan beat Mutombo and grabbed the first down for the Magic.

In the frontcourt, Kidd crushed Iverson with his back, step by step, advancing towards the sweet spot of shooting.

Iverson, who defended the sky, knew that he had no power to parry, so he could only rush out and gamble.

Bring out his aggression, pounce on the basketball, trying to grab Kidd's basketball.

At the moment of Iverson's attack, Kidd, as if predicting Iverson's action in advance, pulled the ball and turned around, took two steps, and made a pick in the air.

Swish-!
0 to 2! !
"Iverson has won the steals king twice, relying on this kind of gambling, fighting to be KO by his opponent.

If you grab it, it will be an opportunity to counter fast break.

If you can't grab it, it's a mistake.

However, defensive stats don't count.

Iverson can make thousands of mistakes, as long as he succeeds two or three times per game, he can become the steal king.

Defensive strength is underestimated.

Unfortunately, Kidd did not give Iverson a chance. " Barkley shook his head and said.

To be reasonable, with Iverson on the court, he is too disadvantaged on the defensive end.

The 76ers attack.

At this time, Iverson turned into an offensive giant. CS passed Kidd, went inside, drifted his body, and threw the basketball to the basket.

Swish-!
Iverson broke through for a layup and made a two-pointer.

2 to 2! !
Still beat Iverson back.

Kidd decided to consume a wave of Iverson's physical energy first, so as not to allow Iverson to easily play his own offensive rhythm.

Engaging in heartbreak like this, Iverson still has nothing to do.

The young Harprin could only run more and come over to be defended by Iverson.

Snapped--!
Halpring just moved, and Kidd immediately sent a scalpel pass.

Jackson, who came in with an air cut, caught the ball, made a layup, and sent the basketball into the basket with a bang.

2 is better than 4!

Iverson broke through, passed Kidd, passed the Magic's defense with a butterfly step, and scored two points with a layup at the basket.

4 to 4! !
Next, Kidd continued to target Iverson's flaw.

One-on-one, or one-on-one.

Grab a flaw, that is, keep hitting.

On the stage of the playoffs, if you want to go far, the comparison is who has fewer shortcomings.

Although this truth is upside down, it is still unbreakable.

At this time, Kidd is still at his peak, and he can beat Iverson one by one.

The 76ers fell into a passive state from the beginning.

For this reason, Iverson has prepared a 'four guarantees and one tactic' from the very beginning.

But the problem is, if the 76ers protect Iverson, Kidd will use his assists to punish the 76ers.

If left alone, Iverson will get the shit out of him.

Larry Brown was totally out of the loop on the sidelines.

Kidd is not such an easy opponent, no matter how he chooses.

The 76ers are going to lose a layer of skin.

The Magic's offense is more than that.

After playing more than half of the first quarter, Kidd found that although the advantage was large, the point difference expanded too slowly.

He chose to shoot a three-pointer.

As a 'basically not attacking', as the league's number one controller, if you use your biggest weakness as the main offense, that means nothing.

A Magic need to grab points.

Or, the Magic can play blindly, and the victory of the game cannot be lost.

The answer is obviously the latter.

Kidd's three-point shot.

Clang.

Is this for blacksmithing?
Nothing.

The Magic grabbed the rebound.

Duncan took off the rebound. After all, he studied psychology. After spending a few years with Popovich, he immediately knew what Kidd's tactical intentions were.

The basket in front of him did not attack, but handed over the basketball instead.

"The 76ers have played Larry Brown's 'correct basketball' for a few years. Facing the Magic's unethical offense, they will probably be dumbfounded." Barkley grinned.

"It's still three points!
Not in.

It's nothing more than rebounding.

And then a three-point shot..."

Swish-!
McGrady made a three-point shot, but Snow couldn't reach it at all, so he could only watch helplessly as the three-pointer blasted into the basket.

Shoot three points + rebound, shoot three points...

This is not the most painful thing for the 76 team.

The most painful thing is that the Magic also retracted, forcing the 76ers to shoot three-pointers.

he or something.

The worst thing about Iverson is three-pointers.

Ask questions like this.

How can Iverson give the answer?

Can't give a three-pointer answer.

Iverson can only break through inside, break through, break through...

The problem is, Duncan and O'Neal guard the basket.

Kidd's top defense, McGrady and Jackson's help defense.

They are all swingers with outstanding bodies, and they can expand the defensive space by opening their hands.

Iverson rushed to the basket, as if caught in a big net to catch prey.

Even if Iverson's offense is really terrible, the efficiency will never be high.

The gap between the two sides will only increase.

Not to mention, the Magic still have a counterattack card, waiting for the 76ers to attack.

If the impact scores, the Magic will recognize it.

If you can't get in, rush up and fight back.

With Iverson and Snow, how can these short heights be able to block the Magic's counterattack.

face this dilemma.

Iverson has the nickname of 'the answer', but he can't give any solution.

Don't ask, it means that he has problems all over his body.

The Magic just magnified him. When testing Iverson's upper limit, his shortcoming in height was exposed to the sun.

Dikembe Mutombo 37, Coleman 35.

Harprin's physical talent is average, and Snow's strength is just passable.

They couldn't protect Iverson and plug his loopholes.

The wind direction of the game began to be one-sided.

In the first quarter of the game, the Magic had a 10-point advantage.

In the second quarter, Li Mu let the main force continue to fight again.

Larry Brown had nothing but despair in his eyes.

I usually don't study hard, and when the exam is about to come, it's too late to cram.

Don't ask, the question is that Larry Brown never liked developing rookies.

What to use for rotation?

All he could do was fuck Iverson.

The problem is that Mutombo and Coleman are both old, which is impatient!
In the second quarter of the game, the 76 team continued to be unable to stand up.

The only one who can fight is Aaron McGee.

However, this person's defense is not in the eyes of Larry Brown.

Playing with Iverson is the legendary double-drain backcourt combination.

The 76ers are used to chase points. Now that the defense has given up treatment, there is no way to play this game.
