Iverson's steal was mistaken by many people as a gambling steal. In fact, it was not the case. His steal was very accurate.

This is mainly because the 76ers implement a pressing defense, so Iverson needs to press very hard.

You know, Larry Brown is an absolute die-hard. He doesn't allow the team to shoot three-pointers, doesn't trust rookies, and likes to beat the main players to death. As long as it's something he believes in, he won't change it.

He also publicly said that he hates his players stealing the ball carrier, because stealing is the most likely to cause a loss of position.

But this old stubborn just allowed Iverson to attack and steal. In his original words: "AI's stealing talent is at another level."

It can make Larry Brown, an old stubborn man, break his own bottom line of principles, which shows how outstanding the AI's stealing ability is.

It won't work to break through the inside line, nor will it work in singles from the outside line.

Madman Fan gritted his teeth and stomped his feet. I am a selfless point guard. I should organize a tandem, right?

But among the long-armed 76ers, who all have a strong sense of stealing, it is not difficult to imagine what kind of disastrous assist-to-turnover ratio the crazy passer Fan would have.

His knife-edge passes were inherently dangerous, but under the 76ers' defense, most of these passes turned into mistakes.

Once the Lakers make a mistake, the 76ers can quickly counterattack.

The 76ers in this history are a team with particularly strong counterattack capabilities.

Not to mention AI, the remaining four starters, including Garnett and Ratliff, are both capable of running and jumping, and their counterattacks are very sharp.

Especially the hard special, his fast connection with the AI ​​has formed a beautiful scenery in Philadelphia.

Everyone can run and jump. Philadelphia has simply transplanted the Lakers' Showtime.

Frequent quick counterattacks without losing ground also further covered up the 76ers' lack of shooting ability and the shortcomings of the AI's small offensive space.

Shay was defended very hard, and when Shay came off the court to take a break, Fan Fan, who had performed well in the previous games, was also guarded like a clown.

Mistakes, counterattacks, strikes, counterattacks, the Lakers are completely trapped in a vicious cycle.

Even the on-site commentator Mark Zumov couldn't help but joke:

"Exel is still the best sixth man today, but he is the best sixth man today for the 76ers! The real 76ers don't even need to be in Philadelphia!"

So, after half the game, the Lakers trailed the 76ers, who were second in the Eastern Conference, by 9 points!

AI relied on sharp counterattacks and already scored 21 points at halftime.

Under the terrible attack of the 76ers, Shea only scored 15 points at halftime!

Of course, 15 points at halftime is a lot.

But compared with AI, it seems a bit unsatisfactory!

The Philadelphia fans were in a collective climax. AI's individual score was 6 points ahead of Shea at halftime, so he couldn't lead by more than ten points after the whole game!

Iverson will definitely beat Shay today! The title of scoring champion will definitely change hands!

No matter how much Shay tries to guard against harsh words before the game, it can't change the fact that he will be surpassed by AI!

At the end of halftime, looking at the Lakers players walking back to the locker room dejectedly, Zumov cheered:

"The change of times is today, today!"

In the locker room during halftime, everyone was really frustrated.

There were too many mistakes today and the offense was too poor.

Dell Curry especially blames himself. He only scored 2 points and made 3 turnovers in the first half of today's game.

The shot failed, and the pass failed.

Once old Curry encounters interference now, his shooting percentage is not guaranteed.

After all, he was 35 years old, and his shooting aim during interference was not as good as it was back then.

This season, Curry's scoring average is only in single digits, which is also a new low since his rookie season.

His only role seems to be to allow the Lakers to fill the court with five people.

The 76ers can completely leave him open to flank Shea and block Shea's passing and breakthrough routes.

Stephen's son was not happy when he was watching TV. He said, "useless father, please don't hold my biological father back!"

Shea also admitted that the 76ers are indeed strong in combat effectiveness.

The only teams that can defeat the 76ers twice this season are the Knicks and Spurs.

And these two teams have one thing in common: they have both super inside players and stable outside output points.

What the 76ers are most afraid of on the defensive end is strong inside players. Although Ratliff and Garnett are two jumping men with abnormal athletic abilities, they can't stand up to people. It is very difficult to defend strong inside players alone.

According to the original history, Yao's first T-shirt in the NBA was when he easily dunked Ratliff in a singles and then roared, which shocked the referee and gave him a technical foul.

In his rookie year, Yao was still weak. Ratliff couldn't even stand up to rookie Yao Ming, let alone Shaq and Duncan.

Therefore, the Spurs and Knicks can easily defeat the 76ers inside.

Once the 76ers choose to double-team a strong inside line, the outside line will have a chance.

Therefore, the Knicks and Spurs are very weak against the 76ers.

But this method of winning is obviously impossible for the Lakers to replicate.

The Lakers really can't afford this powerful big man!

Although Xiao Ou has good offensive ability, even in his peak period, he was the kind of insider who floated outside and played hard. Attacking the basket was not his specialty.

As for Ben, ESPN once joked: "You can guard Ben Wallace even if you put a chair under the basket."

The Lakers don't even have the tools to commit crimes, so how can they imitate others' strong offense?

Therefore, although the method of defeating the 76ers is open to everyone, not everyone can copy this homework.

Carlisle does not have a perfect solution now. The only way is to add a perimeter player who can shoot and pass, so that Shea will not encounter a joint defense of four people, so that Shea will not run out of space and cannot catch the ball.

Currently, the only player on the Lakers who can effectively help Shay share the pressure is Finley.

As long as there is one less person to keep an eye on Shay, Carlisle believes that Shay's firepower can be unleashed.

It's too difficult to fight against four, but there is still a chance for Shay to fight against three!

You have to be able to shoot and pass the ball.

Shay and Carlisle both looked at the guy who looked like a flounder.

Billups swallowed, a little nervous.

During the time he came to the Lakers, he didn't get much playing time.

At this moment, the team seems to really need him to step up.

This makes Billups a little less confident.

After all, he has messed up too many times in his career.

But Carlisle still issued the order:

"Chauncy, you replaced Dell Curry in the second half.

Use your three-point threat to punish the 76ers' defense whenever you have the chance, and when Shay attacks without the ball, I need you to get the ball to him in a timely and safe manner!"

Billups swallowed, and now in this difficult situation, he could only bite the bullet.

So, at the beginning of the second half of the game, when Zumov saw the Lakers' lineup adjustments for the second half, he almost laughed out loud:

"Obviously, the Lakers are already treating a dead horse as a living doctor!

They replaced Billups, hoping to improve Shea's poor offensive environment.

You might as well imagine how desperate Coach Carlisle must be to place his treasure on Billups?

Although Billups was the No. 3 overall pick in 1997, he has changed four teams in two seasons and has been unable to fulfill his potential.

I admit, the Lakers' own draft vision is very good.

But others have confirmed that it is impossible for a rookie who has been discarded to perform well in the Lakers, right?

Eager to rely on Billups to change the situation? Coach Carlisle might as well pray to God!"

The Philadelphia fans at the scene were also taunting Billups crazily:

"The most watery flower exploration in history!"

"Hey Chauncey, maybe you will be traded by the Lakers again after this game? Hahahaha!"

"I really envy you. In just two years, you almost collected all the rainbow suits."

"You will build a nomadic dynasty, I believe in you!"

Billups lowered his head in the face of these yells.

After being traded three times in two seasons, his self-confidence has been severely damaged.

Now he is still being collectively reviled by fans, and Billups is even less confident.

At this time, Billups felt someone punch him hard on the arm.

He turned around and saw Shay with a frown on his face:
