After returning from the break, the Hawks' Jason Terry was replaced. Liu Mang and Tracy McGrady went to rest. Persson, Iguodala, Josh Smith, and Mourning came on.

Iverson, with his steely physique, was not far behind in the score, so he naturally wanted to fight to the end. With his 2.01 meter tall shooting guard John Samuels, Josh Childress, Webb, and Haitian Dai

Enter Lembert.

When Iverson came on the court, he saw that the Hawks were actually five up and five down! Good guys, two rookies, two old guys, plus a bomb, Iverson was already unhappy, and now he is even more unhappy.

At the beginning of the second quarter, Iverson received the serve and advanced to the frontcourt. The 76ers were better at positional warfare, mainly with the help of senior Webber.

The 76ers' offense started from Iverson's breakthrough. Iverson looked at the rookie Iguodala who was guarding him, completely ignored him, and quickly broke through!

It doesn't matter whether he ignores it or not. Anyway, Iguodala couldn't keep up. Iverson moved sideways to the left, broke through from the right, and rushed to the right side of the free throw line in two steps. He was just about to find Webb or Chai.

Driss discovered that there were a lot of people crowded in the middle and at the basket!

Weber and Childress were blocked at the free throw line. All four Hawks players were in the three-second zone. Iguodala was also on the sideline of the three-second zone. In other words, all five Hawks players were crowded in the three-second zone!

Weber and Childress were blocked at the free throw line. Iverson took a step inside the right side of the free throw line. Only Samuels was in the left corner of the basket, but Iverson did not dare to pass! Such a wide range

It was too dangerous to have a bunch of people in the middle of the transfer. He didn't expect the Hawks to block the basket like this. Dalembert could hardly get out of the three-second zone, and it didn't matter if he couldn't get out.

Meaning, it has no effect outside the three-second zone.

Childress reacted quickly and immediately retreated to the top arc. Iverson immediately passed the ball over. When Childress received the ball, no one on the Eagles guarded him. Only Persson blocked Samuels in the bottom corner.

catch the ball.

Childress hesitated for a moment. He had not yet shot a three-pointer today, but he was already wide open. He hesitated and threw it...

"Bang..."

Iguodala used his teammates to block his opponent, leaping high to grab defensive rebounds.

When the Eagles attacked, Jason Terry started to score the ball in isolation. The 76ers team did a good job in the area. A group of players with high football intelligence did a good job in this aspect. However, in one-on-one defense, except for Deller,

Mbote, the best is Iverson...

When Jason Terry got into trouble, even the best defensive players in the All-Defensive Team, including Kobe Bryant and Artest, couldn't guard him, let alone Iverson.

Jason Terry is not like Liu Mang and Tracy McGrady who have to consider the team's offense. Except for double-teaming and passing the ball, he doesn't have to worry about anything but shooting.

There is plenty of motivation for the 18-game winning streak. Jason Terry felt good today and maintained a shooting percentage of about 40% from long-range shots.

On the defensive end, the Hawks blocked the 76ers' basket, focusing on the high post support of Iverson and Webber. Childress ran to that side, and Josh Smith and Persson, and Jason Terry blocked which side.

, Iguodala defended Iverson's mid-range shot and cut off Iverson and Samuels' direct passes from the outside. When Iverson went to the basket, Mourning was waiting there, and a bunch of people under the basket were not afraid of Ivers.

Sen passed to Dalembert.

Iverson and Childress got a lot of three-point opportunities, but they couldn't make them!

With nothing to do, Iverson began to shoot pull-up jumpers on his own.

If 76ers head coach Jim O'Brien were a black man, he would definitely have a black question mark face - is there anyone who can defend like this?

This is clearly gambling!

Just as the 76ers head coach thought, Coach Kruger and Liu Mang planned to make a bet, betting that the 76ers' three points would lead to the Rockets' tiebreaker.

The key is that the 76ers only made two three-pointers in the first quarter. Although they scored one, except for Iverson who missed one and Rodney Rogers made one, the 76ers did not make any three-pointers in the first quarter.

Three points.

No matter how strong a team is in three-point shooting, it only shoots two three-pointers in the whole quarter. It will be difficult to quickly find the touch later!

Moreover, the 76ers started the game mainly on the inside and encountered a lot of defensive confrontations. It was extremely difficult to quickly find the three-point touch!

Moreover, the 76ers are third to last in the league in three-point shooting this season, and the Bobcats and Hornets are both better than them in three-point shooting...

Halfway through the first quarter, when he discovered that the 76ers could coordinate so well inside the three-point line, Coach Kruger began to have ideas. Let them play smoothly inside the three-point line until they even believed they could.

Compete with the Hawks, reduce their outside shots to freezing point, and even reduce their mid-range shots, let them attack the basket more, accept more physical confrontations...and then block the inside all of a sudden!

Now it seems that the strategy was successful!

The Eagles coaching staff spent so much time dealing with the 76ers, a team with vastly different strengths, mainly because they might encounter them in the first round of the playoffs, so they wanted to learn as much as possible about their strengths.

In order to cope with the playoffs.

Coach Kruger dared to use a "research" mentality to deal with the 76ers, showing his confidence and arrogance as a championship coach!

Even 18 consecutive victories cannot stop the Eagles' arrogance. They are just confident that they are the strongest!

Although Iverson is great and his combination with Webber is very good, the role players are so different. In fact, the 76ers rely on the offensive threat brought by the partnership of Iverson and Webber to help teammates score and help a group of players.

Teammates who are good at air-cutting score from both sides of the baseline and the middle, but there are not many three-pointers. Even at the beginning of the century when three-pointers were not paid attention to, the two major championship teams of the Spurs and Lakers had many role players who were very accurate in three-pointers. Originally,

The Pistons' top five also include Billups, a very good three-point shooter, and Rasheed Wallace and Prince, two three-pointers with a shooting percentage of 345%.

But the 76ers did not. After the 76ers' only firepower on the outside was targeted, as long as the inside was blocked, the 76ers would have a very difficult time.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! In the second half of the second quarter, Iverson and Webb figured it out and wanted to defeat the Hawks as a team, even if the opponent had two generals, Rasheed Huale.

Without Shi and Prince, the defense declined seriously and was better than their role player lineup! The two began to play singles tactics.

After Iverson and Webber played two consecutive singles, the Eagles immediately replaced Liu Mang and Tracy McGrady.

Compared with the duo, the partnership between Liu Mang and McGrady is obviously stronger! And compared to Iverson who just learned to partner with Webber, Liu Mang and McGrady have been working together for more than half a season and are now the best guard line combination in the league.

.

After Liu Mang and McGrady came up, they used McGrady's breakthrough to score the ball, Liu Mang's pick-and-roll, and Korver's excellent touch today. The 76ers used regional double teams to block Liu Mang and McGrady, making them unable to defend.

With Korver, even Mourning in the paint and Josh Smith on the air cut were given opportunities to take shots.

Unknowingly, Iverson started to fight again, and he could only start to be forced to score points. But at least he was not alone this time. Although he was 32 years old, he gained weight and fell into a low position.

Weber's lethality became stronger, and the two began a trapped beast fight.

For the Eagles, Jason Terry mainly uses isolation tactics. When Jason Terry goes down, Liu Mang and Tracy McGrady come up and mainly use running, passing and cutting.

Iverson's strong scoring ability was once again on display. At the end of the third quarter, the Eagles scored 89-73, leading by 16 points. Iverson scored 12 points in a row in the fourth quarter, his personal performance

The Eagles went on a 12-5 run and suddenly narrowed the point difference to 9 points, which shocked the Eagles.

Iverson played the first three quarters and still played like that in the fourth quarter! This physical ability is so admirable!

However, Liu Mang and Jason Terry fired continuously and returned a score of 13 to 6, once again widening the point difference to 16 points.

Iverson scored 26 points, 3 rebounds and 7 assists in the first three quarters, and 16 points and 3 assists in the fourth quarter. Webber also scored 28 points, 7 rebounds and 6 assists. The two scored 70 points together, which was a very good performance.

But for the Hawks, Liu Mang not only scored 16 points in the first quarter, but also steadily scored 89 points in each quarter in the following three quarters. He scored 41 points, 8 rebounds and 5 assists. Tracy McGrady scored 17 points, 4 rebounds and 14 assists. Jason

- Terry scored 11 points and 3 assists, Kwame Brown scored 13 points and 15 rebounds. Korver was the most critical outside connection point today. He made 6 three-pointers in a single game and set a new career high. He scored all the points in the game.

To 23 minutes!

With five players scoring in double figures, the Eagles maintained their lead until the end, defeating the 76ers 118-104 with a 14-point margin, winning their 18th consecutive victory!

"Ding... The second stage of King's Landing triggers the mission: The Lord has met the mission completion requirements. The mission reward will be calculated based on the final winning streak. The reward is the winning streak multiplied by 1,000 superstar values. Winning the championship is proof of a superstar, and two consecutive championships is a dynasty.

At the beginning, the second phase of King’s Landing mission: The Prelude to the Dynasty has begun.”

"Dynasty Prologue: The second stage of King's Landing mission, the host needs to lead the team to win two consecutive championships and win the finals MVP twice in a row. Mission reward: 1 Advanced Power Fruit."

After beating the 76ers and winning 18 consecutive games, Liu Mang finally heard the prompt to start the second phase of the King's Landing mission.

The Eagles won 18 consecutive victories, causing a sensation, but this is not an important thing to Liu Mang. People now may think that 18 consecutive victories is a "championship winning streak", but it will not be the case in the future. Fans are relatively superstitious.

"Authoritative data" is only relative. When authority is broken, it will be discarded immediately.

An 18-game winning streak or even a longer winning streak is considered an honor, but for Liu Mang, one more consecutive victory is just an extra 1,000 superstar points.

What is important is the mission "Prologue to the Dynasty".

It happens to be the power that he urgently needs to improve again now!

His current strength is enough for him to maintain enough confrontation at the point guard, as well as some aerial operations and footwork changes after reaching the basket, but it is time for him to improve his strength again.

Whether it is Kobe or Jordan, their strength is among the best at the same position. The two are better than Ray Allen in their singles. Ray Allen has good core strength and is excellent in fadeaways. He can shoot fadeaway jumpers in isolation.

Compared to Kobe, Jordan is much worse.

Nash is similar to Ray Allen. He has good core strength, but poor overall strength. It's not that he doesn't like to score. He has good shooting ability, but his singles effect is not as good as that of Kobe or Jordan. He can only supplement it with passing and keep passing.

Only with threats can you score better. As for the assist king... Nash said: Who doesn't like scoring? It's just that I can help the team win more if I get 15 assists than if I get 30 or even 40 points.

Liu Mang needs to improve his core strength, and of course he also wants to improve his overall strength. His strength evaluation of 81 is still too low, and he didn't have the upper hand against Iverson.

Abdominal strength plays a role in pulling up and leaning back, but it has little to do with confrontation. Liu Mang is limited by his height and weight, and his overall strength cannot be increased too much by adding muscle, otherwise it will lead to a decrease in speed and flexibility. Kobe is

The best example is that Kobe didn't even perform well on the secondary defense this season, even though he played harder than before.

The advanced power fruit couldn’t have come at a better time!

Liu Mang read the mission description of Prologue to Dynasty.

"We need to lead the team to win two consecutive championships... System boss, does this mean we must win two consecutive championships this season?"

"Ding... Mission: Prelude to the dynasty. You only need to complete two consecutive championships. There are no other restrictions, including not limited to the two consecutive championships after this defense."
