Ace, this damn little hooligan!

No matter who he loses to, Iverson doesn’t want to lose to Liu Mang!

However, this kind of dissatisfaction is different from the rivalry between Iverson and Kobe. Iverson and Liu Mang still have a very good relationship, but because of this, Iverson is even more unwilling to admit defeat.

He didn't want to become friends with Liu Mang as a weakling!

Back in the locker room, Larry Brown really started to complain directly, but this time Iverson didn't refute, he was only thinking about how to chase points!

It was the first time Larry Brown saw Iverson like this. Since no one was scolding him, Larry Brown actually felt a little weird. He was just a bit mean... He kept cursing, Larry

-Brown stopped and looked at Iverson who was weird today. Although the changes in Iverson's playing style this year have already made him feel weird, today is even weirder!

Speaking of which, although Larry Brown recognized the changes in Iverson's style of play, he did not like coaching such a team. He wanted to defend more, and defense was everything in his mind.

After Larry Brown finished spraying, Iverson only said one sentence: "Coach, I want to win! Today, I want to win!"

Larry Brown was surprised and fell silent.

Larry Brown suddenly felt that he was no longer suitable for Iverson. Unlike before, no matter how bad the relationship between the two was, they were the most suitable mentor and apprentice, and they achieved glory.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! But with Iverson’s current style of play, although Larry Brown can coach, he cannot perform at his best because he is not good at it.

But...it's natural for a top coach to know all kinds of tactics, but he's just not proficient in them. If Larry Brown wants to play offense, that's fine. When he coached the Spurs, he averaged nearly 110 points per game, but he's just not used to it.

Falling behind by 15 points? Larry Brown was about to give up. His team had to chase 15 points. It was not that difficult, but with a different style of play... who knows! Larry Brown was infected by Iverson.

, I want to have a wave!

…

…

Iverson understood that his belligerent mentality was being exploited!

Unlike Tracy McGrady and Carter who lacked the desire to win, Iverson's desire to win was so strong that it affected everything. From winning games to personal statistics, Iverson was too strong. This was his strength and weakness.

Perhaps in life, Iverson was still so careless about making friends, but while maintaining his enthusiasm for the game, he also began to use his head to plan his future.

Should it be changed? Not necessarily, but a better balance needs to be found.

Return from the intermission.

The Eagles sent out Liu Mang, Jason Terry, Prince, Raheem, and Muhammad, ready to rush! Open the score in one fell swoop!

For the 76ers, Iverson, Aaron McGee, John Samuels, Van Horn, Coleman.

In the third quarter, the Eagles attacked first. Liu Mang advanced and handed the ball to Rahim, who scored first.

Starting from the second quarter, Liu Mang's personal offense became less frequent. Most of them were singles for Raheem or his own breakthrough points. He only shot during counterattacks. At that time, Iverson was so angry that he didn't notice this.

, so it seems that Liu Mang played normally except for playing Iverson three times at the beginning, and scored 13 points and 3 assists in the half.

Van Horn is so tired. How can he play power forward and still encounter this guy?

Shouldn't it be that cool guy named Newbell who is facing off against him?

Raheem crushed Van Horn again. Coleman saw Raheem turning to dunk and backed away. On the offensive end, Coleman could work hard and defend... If he knew how to defend, he wouldn't do it.

Karl Malone enters the NBA as the successor, but he may retire before Malone.

Rahim saw Coleman dodge and chose to lay up and score two points.

Easily, 57 to 40, the Eagles led by 17 points.

Offense and defense transition, the 76ers attack, Iverson continues to break through with the ball, Rahim, Liu Mang, Jason Terry double-team again! Just like the first time the three of them cooperated, Iverson was double-teamed in advance

!

At this time, Iverson passed the ball before the double team was formed! Van Horn received the ball at a 45-degree angle and hit a three-pointer!

It was actually passed on!

However, Liu Mang didn't pay too much attention to it, maybe it was too early to double-team.

When the Eagles attack again, the 76ers began to shrink their defense. Although the defense of this lineup is indeed very poor, they can't always let people attack the basket so easily, so they simply shrunk. Liu Mang and Raheem picked and rolled.

, the two of them both cut inside, compressing the 76ers' defense inside and outside the three-second zone, and then passed to Jason Terry. Jason Terry did not make a shot this time, and Samuels protected the rebound.

The Eagles quickly returned to defense, Iverson pushed forward, and Liu Mang came up to guard. He glanced behind him and saw the 76ers players running. Liu Mang was hesitant to double-team, but Iverson had already begun to break through.

Liu Mang quickly pressed forward. Since it was a double-team tactic, he did not care whether Iverson would change direction and pass him by, so he pressed forward directly.

What made Liu Mang a little uneasy was that Iverson actually followed his body contact and walked down the line. Rahim on the left side of the three-second zone came around from the basket to double-team, and Jason Terry also came from behind.

He came up and tried to steal the ball from Iverson, but Iverson immediately sent the ball out. When Raheem went to flank Iverson, Van Horn ran to the top arc!

After receiving a pass from Iverson, Van Horn shot a three-pointer from the top of the arc!

Hit again!

Van Horn made two consecutive three-pointers!

11 points!

The point difference is only 11 points!

The Hawks missed the next two outside shots. When Iverson attacked, the Hawks were a little hesitant to double-team and did not dare to come up. Iverson hit Liu Mang twice in a row and made both of them, one mid-range shot.

A step-up layup.

After the start of the third quarter, Iverson scored 4 points and 2 assists, narrowing the point difference to 7 points!

The Eagles took advantage of Iverson's mentality. Iverson is now beginning to take advantage of the Eagles' mentality, changing from passive to active and starting to chase points fiercely!

Of course, this kind of opportunity only lasts for a minute or two. Iverson worked hard for these two minutes, using the impression he made on his opponents in the first half and the Eagles' thinking inertia to catch him by surprise, and he and his teammates joined forces.

Score 10 points!

Sure enough, in just three minutes, the opponent was chased from the maximum 17 points to 7 points. Liu Mang reacted. After the point difference was narrowed to 7 points by Iverson's breakthrough ball, Liu Mang remembered something big!

Iverson came up in the third quarter, but Liu Mang didn't hear the system prompt about Iverson's talent, unyielding pride and lone wolf characteristics!

Too careless!

Liu Mang came up in the third quarter ready to finish the game, but he was too careless!

Liu Mang called a timeout to let his teammates concentrate. The game was about to enter a fierce battle.

Sure enough, after the timeout, the two teams turned into an anxious battle. Iverson was really crazy. When he won the MVP two years ago, he was actually only 26 years old. At the age of 28 this year, he should be stronger.

Peak, just like Kobe who averaged 35 points per game, 81 points in a single game, and 62 points in three quarters at the age of 28, and James who hit a career-high 56% shooting percentage and hit a career-best 27 8 7 at the age of 28.

, this year should have been Iverson’s strongest year.

Maybe it's the 1996 generation. It's just so unfortunate. Whether it's Kobe, Nash or Iverson, when the team is at its peak, either he hasn't reached his peak, or he's already passed his peak.

The peak of the team is staggered.

In the third quarter, Iverson once again demonstrated the ability to lead the team in team offense as he did at the beginning of the game. The most special thing about Iverson is that he is very good at scoring. The Eagles' defense hesitated a little.

It's the best scoring opportunity for him.

After returning from the timeout, the Eagles paid attention to the game, but were unable to open the score again.

After three quarters, the 76ers were only 5 points behind the Eagles!

…

Just three minutes into the third quarter, coach Kruger on the sidelines began to smile bitterly.

I didn't expect this! Taking advantage of other people's weaknesses will be used by others in the end. In the end, you still have to rely on your strength to fight.

Coach Kruger felt that it would not work if he tried to take shortcuts by doing tricks... Wait, how could that lazy disciple always succeed?

Sure enough, shamelessness is the last word! Coach Kruger feels that he is not suitable to be a shameless person. From now on, he should arrange normal tactics honestly. Things like sudden inspiration should be left to those who are good at it.

I have no choice but to fight! The 76ers feel good from the outside today. Van Horn hit 6 three-pointers in three quarters, which is so fierce! He is worthy of Liu Mang's previous record holder for three-pointers in his rookie season!

In the first half of the fourth quarter, the two teams started a tug-of-war around a 5-point gap.

Iverson is Iverson, and his physical fitness is strong. Especially after he started to pay attention to passing, he played more easily. The main thing is the lineup. Compared with last season, the 76ers' lineup this year will indeed play more smoothly on the offensive end.

, there are more three-pointers, the lineup is younger, except for poor defense, everything is good.

This kind of tug-of-war is not enough for most players until their physical fitness reaches the back.

That's why players like Kobe, James, and Iverson stood out during their peak years, posting all kinds of incredible statistics every day.

In the second half of the fourth quarter, the game turned into a scoring battle between Iverson and Liu Mang. Everyone else was too tired to help defend, and the movement was not effective, so it simply became a two-person singles game.

Sometimes when watching the game, I see that the fourth quarter has become a one-on-one game, and the core does not pass the ball. In fact, it is not that they don’t want to pass, but that their teammates really can’t shoot. It’s like averaging 25 shots per game, not just 25 shots.

Basketball is so simple. Many superstars who are very strong in scoring will never average 25 shots per game in a season in their entire lives, even when the team is bad. It's not that they don't want to shoot, but they don't have the physical strength!

Liu Mang and Iverson started playing well in the second half of the fourth quarter. Iverson made a breakthrough layup, Liu Mang also made a three-pointer, and Iverson made a mid-range jumper 2-1.

Liu Mang used the essence of human crawling to dodge the big man inside and suddenly stepped for a layup and scored two points. Iverson hit the iron. Liu Mang breathed a sigh of relief because he was ahead and followed suit...

With less than two minutes left, the Eagles relied on the advantage accumulated in the first half to lead the 76ers 102-98 by 4 points. The Eagles had the ball and called a timeout.

It’s the final stage. I saw that today I played 21 times in isolation, made 15 successful shots, and scored 28 points, 15 rebounds and 3 assists on 11 of 15 shots. Raheem was very tired. Jason Terry

The defensive movement in order to get rid of Snow was almost exhausted, leaving only Liu Mang who was still so passionate.
