March 15th, this great day, the Eagles are about to play a home game against last year's MVP Allen Iverson's Philadelphia 76ers.

But it's a pity that Iverson can't play in today's game.

Iverson has actually been playing with injuries this season. At first, his right elbow joint was damaged, and after recovery, his left elbow joint was damaged. It is said that in order to protect his right elbow, he used his left elbow too much, just like Kobe Bryant after he ruptured his Achilles tendon.

It was the same as not being able to use my left leg too hard, which resulted in a fracture of the tibia and knee of my right leg, which ended the season for the second time. It was the same as the fact that I had been in good shape after my Achilles tendon rupture and was completely wiped out.

Rose was in a similar situation. He injured the knee of one leg. After being reimbursed for the first time, he came back in good condition. However, the other leg was also injured, and he finally perished.

Iverson suffered consecutive injuries after the All-Star Weekend. Finally, in March, he could no longer hold on. He fractured the fourth metacarpal bone in his left hand, which is the one on the ring finger. He needed conservative treatment and rest for a while. In order not to affect the playoffs, he pulled

After discussing with Lee Brown and Iverson, they decided that before the 76ers fell out of the top eight, Iverson would play as few games as possible and recuperate until the playoffs come.

The 76ers' schedule is very easy, even easier than that of the Eagles. In the last 30 days, they didn't even have a back-to-back!

This is the schedule benefit of last season's overall runner-up. Together with the Lakers and Mavericks, they are the three teams with the fewest back-to-backs this season. They only played 14 back-to-backs throughout the season, while the Hawks have already played 14 back-to-backs, and there are two more.

Second-rate.

Moreover, the opponents of the 76ers at the end of the season are average in strength, and there are few top teams. Of course, since the 76ers themselves are not very strong this season, it doesn't look that easy.

However, Iverson has been out for the past few games. Laga Bell, who replaced Iverson as the shooting guard, has performed well. The 76ers focus on defense and are playing as fast as the Heat. The winning rate is also good. The sixth place record in the Eastern Conference is still very stable.

of.

According to media reports, Iverson said in an interview that he might play in this game. Therefore, the Eagles' training in the past two days was based on the 76ers with Iverson. Iverson was injured and played in the game.

Not just once or twice, but he has always been able to show his strength as the league's most capable super scorer.

Unexpectedly, the 76ers just made a false shot. Before the game started, Iverson came out in a suit, and the Eagles realized that they had been fooled!

Looking at the awkward-looking Iverson in front of him, Liu Mang probably guessed that this guy probably had a fight with the coach in the locker room again, probably because he wanted to play but was not allowed.

Iverson rarely greets his opponents before games. In the past, he always greeted them coldly.

However, with the comradeship of fighting against Kobe Bryant during the All-Star Weekend, Iverson took a new look at Liu Mang. When he was chatting with Raheem before the game, he even found Liu Mang who was practicing shooting alone.

Iverson was also puzzled. He knew that Liu Mang had a very good relationship with Raheem and Jason Terry. Why was the news talking about the internal conflicts of the Eagles every three days?

"Boss Allen, it's boring not being able to defeat the 76ers with you." Liu Mang provoked with his strength.

"Huh, don't be too happy! We'll see you in the Eastern Conference finals!" Iverson said unhappily.

"Tch, it's such a big deal, can you make it to the Eastern Conference Finals?" Liu Mang was not so optimistic.

"...Anything can happen!" Iverson also knows that their strength is not very good this year, but who doesn't say it well? You must have a championship heart!

When the Rockets won the championship, weren't they only sixth in the Western Conference?

After chatting for a while, the American Empire song was played, the pre-game activities ended, and the Eagles' home game against the 76ers began.

Because it was uncertain whether Iverson would play, all the major TV stations were very conservative and did not broadcast this game today.

Then they were right to be conservative. This game was very boring.

The 76ers did not have Iverson, so they just played defense to grind down the position, using Eric Snow's organizational skills, Derrick Coleman, and Raja Bell's long shots to take charge of the offense. The scene was extremely ugly, coupled with the defense

Matt Halprin, a white tough guy with big moves, plays like a Pistons from a few years ago, with a slow and stinky rhythm.

Moreover, these people's ability to control the rhythm was not strong, and they were quickly fooled by the Eagles' rapid impact. The rhythm of the game was completely at the high speed that the Eagles wanted. Except for the two teams grinding for a while at the beginning, the 76ers started with a

After a 7-6 half-quarter score that killed the fans' viewing experience, Liu Mang came up and, together with Jason Terry and Raheem, turned the score into 14-9 with a wave of impact. Liu Mang came up and Jia

Sen-Terry led the cavalry charge and achieved a small climax of 8 to 2.

The situation was quickly controlled by the Eagles.

Although the cavalry charge was very entertaining to watch, the one-sided game was not exciting at all. Moreover, the 76ers' defense was very good, very good. Adjustments from time to time made it difficult for the Eagles to counterattack, and the point difference could not be widened.

So it became a grinding rhythm between the two teams. The Eagles occasionally counterattacked, but most of the time they still had to grind with the 76ers.

After the first quarter, the Eagles led 23-16 by 7 points and led 46-35 by 11 points at halftime.

After the Eagles lost to the Heat, they were very focused and did not give the 76ers, who lacked Iverson's offensive capabilities, a chance. They maintained the lead after taking the lead.

Larry Brown had long expected to play against the current No. 1 team in the Eastern Conference. Without Iverson, he could only rely on the opponent to relax, but the opponent did not relax and did not have a particularly bad touch. He also did not have an explosive touch.

It's impossible for them to win, so they don't get angry if they fall behind. Otherwise, what else can they do?

Most of the people on the Eagles team were playing attentively and not in a hurry, and the score was leading, very stable!

Only Liu Mang felt a little injured. He scored 5 points in the first quarter, 5 points in the second quarter, and 7 points in the third quarter. After playing for a while in the fourth quarter, Liu Mang still didn't score. The 76ers gave up and the Eagles also replaced him.

The main force, the two teams put on the water-cooler lineup and started pecking at each other...

17 points…

Liu Mang expressed that he felt very uncomfortable. Seeing that he was already averaging 19.5 points per game, it would be great if he could get 20 points for a while...

…

In the end, the game between the first place in the Eastern Conference last season and the first place in the Eastern Conference this season without Iverson ended with the Hawks defeating the 76ers 91-80. The Hawks won two consecutive victories after an upset loss to the Heat!

Liu Mang's performance of scoring 17 points in three quarters has become a normal performance in people's eyes. This guy has scored so many points in a single quarter, and people have long been used to it.

After the loss, Iverson didn't come to say hello to the Hawks players and left the arena directly. Liu Mang didn't care or hold a grudge. He knew that this was a characteristic of Iverson's character, and he couldn't help but come to say hello after losing.

If his character had become smoother, he wouldn't be the answer.

…

After beating the 76ers, the Eagles have eight games starting from the 17th to the 31st.

The first is the back-to-back of No. 17 and No. 18!

They lost to the Heat last time. They lost so miserably. The Eagles are so angry!

This time the Eagles are out for revenge!

And full of confidence!

Because, on the day of the game against the 76ers, Ratliff was certified to be fully healthy, but the opponent did not play Iverson. Coach Kruger asked Ratliff to rest for one more day and play against the 76ers without Iverson.

, if you rush up and hit the opponent, you will definitely not be your opponent.

When playing against the Heat, the Eagles officially announced at the daily press conference of each game that Ratliff will return!

Not only players can hold grudges, coaches also hold grudges!

However, Pat Riley was very happy to hear that Ratliff was coming back. He looked forward to the Eagles not capsizing again more than the Eagles...

…

…

It is not polite to come back without reciprocating. This sentence was not a derogatory term at first, but was really used when entertaining guests.

The last time the Hawks went to Miami to play a game, Mourning was very friendly and took his teammates to entertain the Hawks players for a party. This time, the boss of the Hawks, Raheem, also held a party and invited the Heat players.

them.

However, Rahim did not go as extreme as Mourning and find a gay restaurant. He treated guests at his own home and invited the most famous restaurant in Atlanta, the Dolce-Italian restaurant, which is the chef of the Italian Dolce restaurant. He used to work in May.

Alan Ingel, the chef of a Michelin-starred restaurant, invited Atlanta's most famous Italian cuisine master to be the chef.

Of course, out of respect for Mourning, there was no wine at the party this time, and Liu Mang also went.

Liu Mang is gradually getting used to this kind of parties that players had before. They are mainly friends from the same league whom he doesn't see a few times a year, and opponents get together. Some of them may be close friends, but some may not be.
