The Fifth Point Guard

"Richard, are we going to Philadelphia and Phoenix for the next two games?"

"Yes, two consecutive away games."

"Ok."

When Shentong planned to go to Phoenix, he showed his contract to his elder sister.

Is after all his own, and he has read the law anyway.

And Phoenix is ​​in Arizona, not far from the Shentong family.

......

On the 25th, the Nets boarded the plane and headed to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

In the next game, the New Jersey Nets will challenge the Philadelphia 76ers with the "answer" away.

The Philadelphia 76ers, as an NBA veteran team, have played in the NBA for more than half a century.

In the distant 54-55, 66-67 and 82-83 seasons, the 76ers have won three league championships, in addition to 9 half-region titles.

The history of the team has also emerged such strong players as Wilt Chamberlain, Julius Owen, Moses Malone.

Now the team also has a phenomenal superstar: Allen Iverson.

In the 2000-01 season, from the first 101-72 victory over the New York Knicks, the 76ers achieved a 10-game winning streak, setting a new record for the team's opening season.

This set the tone for the 76ers throughout the season.

Since the 1989-90 season, the 76ers re-locked the top position in the Atlantic Division, and ranked first in the East with an impressive record of 56 wins and 26 losses.

After being eliminated by the Pacers for two consecutive playoffs, the 76ers defeated the Pacers 3-1 in the first round of the playoffs last season, ushering in Nirvana as the Bulls broke the piston.

4-3 to cut the Raptors, 4-3 to capture the Bucks, all the way to the finals.

That season about the 76ers in the playoffs, every round of play is heartbreaking.

Reached the finals of the 76ers is also the first time since 1983, although the final 1-4 lost to the invincible battleship Los Angeles Lakers that year, but in the hearts of fans, Iverson did not lose.

After creating countless records and new history, the 76ers also gained a lot during that season.

Iverson was elected MVP of the regular season, Brown won the best coach, Mutombo is the defensive player of the year, and McGee won the award for the best sixth person.

This season, all fans who support Iverson and 76ers are looking forward to the team's comeback.

But the start of the new season, the 76ers did not play well, and even lost the aura of last season.

So far, the 76ers have played 10 games, 5 wins and 5 losses tied for eighth in the east.

But the Nets team up and down, no one dared to care.

After all, it was the team that owned Allen Iverson, a man who would never give up and stand on the court and would go all out.

......

This season, Iverson feels very struggling, shooting less than 40% from the field and less than 30% from three-pointers. Although the data has been further improved, the average is 31.1 points, 3.8 rebounds, 4.6 assists and 2.5 steals Raised to 31.4 points, 4.5 rebounds, 5.5 assists and 2.8 steals, but the team's record did not rise but fell.

But under Brown, Iverson's shooting guard position is very solid.

In addition to Iverson, the 76ers also have several good players.

Center Dikembe Mutombo, who traded from the Hawks last season, immediately became the man standing behind Iverson.

Averaged 10 + 10 per game, which is the standard output of Uncle Tu barrel. What is more reassuring is that he averaged 2.7 blocks per game.

The Patron Saint of the 76ers' penalty zone is worthy of the name.

In addition to Mutombo, this season, the 76ers selected the center of Haiti Samuel Dalempot in the first round 26th pick.

Like Uncle Tu barrel, Durham Potter is also an inside player who defends strongly and weakly.

In the power forward position, the 76ers also have a 90-year top pick, veteran Derek Coleman.

The power forward drafted by the Nets and known as the "ghost" was once regarded as a striker, and his talent shocked everyone at the time.

People describe him as the next Karl Malone or Charles Barkley.

"Sports Illustrated" even made such a prediction for him: Derek will become the league's best power forward!

Rookie season, Coleman can average 18.4 points, 10.3 rebounds, 2.2 assists, 1.0 steals and 1.3 blocks, almost omnipotent on the court.

Coleman, who shoots well, can even make points outside the three-point line. His rookie season's three-point shooting percentage was 34.2%.

In the third season of the New Jersey Nets, Coleman contributed 20 + 10 superstar data steadily, and continued until the fifth season of the Nets.

It is a pity that young Coleman did not cherish his talent, training laziness, alcoholism, fights, and repeated troubles, gradually making the team lose patience and trust in him.

In 1999, Derek Coleman was drunk and drunk at a hotel in Detroit, and had conflicts with others. He even had a small solution and accidentally wet his pants. After being arrested by the police, he repeatedly denied that he had no small public opinion, and Coleman argued that he accidentally spilled wine on his pants.

Another time, Coleman was stopped by a policeman while driving in downtown Detroit. He was driving at a speed of 160 kilometers per hour. The police conducted an alcohol test on him and found that the alcohol content in his exhaled breath was excessively high, so he was arrested and Coleman was released after paying a fine, but the incident did not awaken him and he was still greedy. Sex.

In October 1999, a traffic accident occurred in Coleman ’s car, and the Hornets shooting guard Rekasner of the same car almost died. Recasner suffered multiple injuries, including the most serious shoulder, but fortunately, he was out of danger after timely treatment. The reason for this accident was Coleman's drunk driving.

Such a genius is also a thorn, no one dares to ask.

After the Hornets experienced a failed season, only the 76ers dare to accept Coleman.

Because there is a coach who can subdue the piercing head: Rally Brown.

Coleman, who only averaged 8.1 points and 5.4 rebounds per game last season, was reborn here. Under Brown ’s training, Coleman first quit the problem of alcoholism and strictly adhered to the team ’s training time and guaranteed No more trouble outside the court.

The Coleman prodigal turned back and the data immediately picked up. Since the start of the game, he has played 15 + 9 data ~ www.NovelMTL.com ~ Coleman proved to the world that he is still an excellent insider at the All-Star level.

The other two starters are practical forward Matt Haprin and solid point guard Eric Snow.

Haplin, who is 2.01 meters tall, is a small forward in the team. He has a good empty basket. He has a strong sense of frame protection and can average 7.1 rebounds per game. This is really rare in the small forward position.

Snow is Yao Ming's most appreciated point guard. He has a high basketball IQ and was once voted by the league as one of the "most suitable coaches after retirement".

Snow did not exceed the talents of ordinary people, but the so-called diligence can make up for it, relying on the efforts of the day after tomorrow, Snow, with his dedicated organization ability, also gradually established a foothold on the NBA stage.

The unruly Iverson can only exert his full energy when he is partnering with Snow.

Averaged 12 points and 6.6 assists per game. Snow, who was unobtrusive, was an integral part of the 76ers.

In addition to the starting five, the 76ers also have a super sixth man: Aron McGee.

After winning the sixth man's award, McGee's self-confidence broke out, and the outside shot was more decisive. Since the start of the game, he has shot more than 40% of his three-pointers.

......

Under the leadership of the best coach Larry Brown, although the 76ers are only ranked eighth in the east, they believe that after Iverson finds his hand, the 76ers will still be one of the best teams in the league. .

In this game, Shentong will directly match Iverson, which is a highlight of this game.

CCTV obtained the live broadcast permission for this game.

"Padded table, padded table ..."

The familiar voice came from the TV.
