462. The original Iverson is back!
McCulloch won the jump ball for the 76ers, and Iverson received the ball and advanced to the frontcourt.
This is the first time the Eagles have played against the 76ers this season. This year, the Eagles cannot pay too much attention to other teams. In the early days, the team was in chaos and could not spare any energy. Recently, due to the tight schedule, they also cannot spare the energy.
.
At the beginning of the game, the Hawks discovered that the 76ers had changed a lot from last season.
The 76ers did not press the pace. Although it is not said how fast the advancement was, it was at least a normal advancement speed compared to last season's snail advancement that lasted until the 8-second violation was about to come before halftime.
Snow advanced and handed it to Iverson, and the rest of the 76ers opened up space. Coleman was at a 45-degree angle on the left, and Van Horn was in the right corner. Snow ran to the left corner first, and McClow
Kira went out to screen Snow, and then McCulloch turned around and squeezed out Jason Terry, who was guarding him, and entered the inside. Ratliff and Jason Terry flanked McCulloch, blocking him and preventing him from entering the inside.
, At the same time, Iverson used a long-stepping horizontal pull to get rid of the inexperienced Prince and break into the three-point line.
Prince played against Iverson for the first time. He felt the same as Liu Mang who played against Iverson for the first time last year. He was shaken and dizzy. Iverson jumped into the middle distance. Prince was young and fearless.
, rushed back immediately after being shaken, but when the pick-and-roll was completed, Snow bypassed Ratliff and came up to Iverson to block Prince. Iverson stepped on the free throw line and made a pull-up jumper.
Liu Mang saw Prince almost sitting on the ground being shaken by Iverson, and finally found a teammate who felt this feeling for him!
but!
Liu Mang was a little surprised by the 76ers' offense. This offense was so smooth! It took 13 seconds to score the ball, especially the choice after the pick-and-roll. It was not a common pick-and-roll without the ball, but after a pick-and-roll without the ball.
Using the threat of the tall man to cut in to attract a flanker, Jason Terry could only block McCulloch for a while. This gave Ratliff the opportunity to come back and flank McCloch, but this happened to be taken advantage of by the 76ers.
Snow took advantage of this to set up a pick-and-roll for Iverson when no one was guarding him. He played his role while avoiding his own lack of mid-range and long-range shooting ability, allowing Iverson to break into the three-point line and easily hit mid-range shots.
Stop the jump shot.
This tactic is so beautiful!
Although McCloch is not very skilled, he has good health. This Canadian white seven-foot center was able to serve as a second-round pick in 1999 when the 76ers had Mutombo in the summer of 2001.
He can also get a five-year full-income mid-level salary, relying on his aggressive style of attacking the basket and still being so tough even if he is beaten to death, so this kind of bottom line pick-and-roll without the ball is not a small threat.
However, these things have always been available to the 76ers, but they have never used them before this season! When the two teams met for the first time this season, the 76ers used this brand-new tactic to catch the Eagles off guard!
The current lineup of the 76ers has a lot of space. Although Van Horn's overall strength has declined. Liu Mang checked his ability value before the game and it dropped to 79 points. However, he achieved the highest efficiency in his career, averaging 20 per game.
He scored 7 rebounds and 2 assists, and his three-point shooting percentage reached a career high of 39%. There are definitely more open opportunities next to Iverson than next to Kidd. Van Horn is not good at counterattacks. This kind of position
Fighting is more suitable for him.
Coleman's statistics are getting worse year by year. This season, he averaged only 10 points and 6 rebounds per game, a career low. At the age of 35, his ability value of 72 is also a career low. He is about to fall below the NBA level, but his three-point shooting percentage
It has achieved a good performance of 33%. It opens up the space in regular time. When it cannot be opened, it is still possible to rely on talent and technology to hit one in the low post.
McCulloch and Snow's ability to run around in pick-and-rolls also came into play.
The key is Iverson!
At the age of 28, he is at his peak, with 95 ability, 99 offense, 75 defense, 70 three-pointers, 85 mid-range shots, 83 layups, 97 speed, and 76 strength. Except for layups, which are difficult to improve due to his height, he secretly practiced hard in the summer.
Iverson, with his already excellent mid-range shooting, has reached the top goalkeeper level. His three-pointers have reached the average level of a defender, and his 32% three-point shooting rate has set a record except for other players.
A new high since his rookie season.
Although Iverson's scoring this year has dropped significantly compared to last year, averaging "only" 25 points per game, he has the second-highest field goal percentage of his career, 44%, plus averaging 4 rebounds and 7.5 assists per game, 25.4
The data of 7.5 is Iverson's lowest score since he dominated the scoring list after Jordan retired. It is also a new high in assists since Iverson averaged more than 25 points per game!
After adding outside shooting and reducing the inefficiency of attacking the opponent's center for a layup, the efficiency has indeed improved a lot. Although he sticks to the ball, he still has to shake the opponent away every time he holds the ball.
Criticism, but if he doesn't even retain this minimum "independent characteristic", he wouldn't be Iverson.
Iverson improved his playing style and passed more passes. The 76ers' team offense was much better than before. Although the offensive routine just now was simple, Iverson's personal ability was strong and the effect was very good.
The main thing is that the current lineup is really suitable for Iverson in terms of offense. The shooters are spread out, and there are tough inside players and point guards to pick and roll him.
But on the defensive end, the 76ers' lineup couldn't withstand the bombardment of Raheem of the Hawks. Originally, the 76ers had Mutombo inside, and Rahim was very useless in low-post singles.
It's different now. The 76ers' lineup has allowed their offensive end to increase from less than 90 points in the previous two seasons to 98 points this season. On the defensive end, the 76ers have dropped from limiting others to only 89 points last season to allowing opponents to lose.
Both scored a mid-range level of 96 points.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The most painful thing is probably Larry Brown. Watching Raheem turn around and pass Van Horn, who seemed to be guarding him lively, and left elbow after entering the paint.
Pressing down on McCulloch, he raised his right hand and hit a floater and put the ball into the basket. Larry Brown was in pain.
It is true that the 76ers are in much better shape this year than last season, but Larry Brown doesn't like it no matter what.
Raheem also scored a goal, and the 76ers attacked again.
Liu Mang kept an eye on Iverson on the sidelines, wanting to see how Iverson was playing now. Although there was video editing before the game, the time was short, and there were only seven or eight 76ers games in half a season.
It's really impossible to fully demonstrate Iverson's changes. This reflects the benefits of playing the sixth man. You can study the opponent's most difficult person's play style on the spot, and because the perspectives of players and coaches are different, the coach
He is good at controlling the overall situation, but players still have to figure out the small details themselves.
Such small details are the difference between a good player and a truly outstanding player. If the player relies entirely on the coach's arrangements, even if the player performs perfectly, he will only be a role player.
Snow once again quickly advanced to the frontcourt and handed it to Iverson. Prince was so nervous when he saw Iverson. Prince wanted to guard Iverson, but at the same time he had to be wary of the pick-and-roll that might appear behind him at any time. Sincerely Alexander
.
The 76ers continued to use pick-and-rolls without the ball at the bottom line. It was still easy for Iverson to break through Prince. However, this time Prince was cautious and knew that he would definitely not be able to stop Iverson's breakthrough, so he simply was blocked like a wooden stake.
Iverson passed and then chased from behind Iverson instead of following up sideways, thus avoiding being blocked by Snow.
The effect was obvious. Prince was chasing Iverson from behind. Snow had no space to pick and roll Iverson. Iverson was afraid of Prince's long arms and was unable to make an emergency stop jumper, so he rushed directly to the right side of the three-second zone.
At this time, Jason Terry, who was blocking McCloch with Ratliff at the basket, came over and double-teamed Iverson with Prince! Iverson was in a blind spot!
Just when Jason Terry was holding up his hands to block Iverson, Prince was standing by ready to block the shot. Iverson seemed to be in dire straits and seemed about to be blocked under the basket again. Iverson grabbed the ball.
, stretched the ball out of the baseline, and threw a banana ball like a rugby ball. The ball was "flying off the court." Coleman used Snow's pick and roll to just run to the bottom corner to catch the ball and shoot a three-pointer.
Hit!
Iverson was the double champion of basketball and football and the best high school student in Virginia in high school. The reason why he chose basketball was because the average salary in basketball was much higher than that in football. As a high school student, Iverson never thought that he could become a superstar.
The superstar received 20 million per year. At that time, he just wanted to enter the NBA, make a lot of money, buy a house for his mother and no longer live next to the sewage pipe, so he chose the NBA, whose base salary is much higher than that of the NFL.
Ever since he won a scoring title, Iverson rarely practiced. He averaged 22 points and 7.5 assists per game during his rookie season. He was very good at rugby-style passing after breaking deep into the basket, but since then he has averaged 22 points and 7.5 assists per game.
After winning the scoring title after the lockout, he had almost forgotten all of this, but now Iverson has started to practice these skills again. The rookie king who seemed to be invincible in scoring and assists in his rookie year is back!
