At the end of the quarter, Iverson was sent on to play for a while, while Stackhouse and Coleman rested.
In a parallel world, Iverson often enters garbage time when leading a team in games, but he averaged more than 40 minutes per game for 12 seasons. It is common for him to continue playing during garbage time, which represents his never-give-up spirit.
Larry Brown was once scolded by him for replacing Allen Iverson. Many years later, he said in an interview that his desire to win was too strong. Brown believed that Iverson played too hard and should rest for a few days. When Iverson didn't
He will actually be happy during training.
Brown must have been in a very good mood when coaching the 76ers. After all, Iverson made the news when he didn't like training.
Giving up after falling behind by 2 or 30 points? Maybe the opponent won't get a single point next, and wouldn't that be a reversal? Of course, this kind of thing is rare.
From this point alone, we can see that the 76ers want to make Iverson the core and help him win the Rookie of the Year award. It doesn't matter if the 76ers can't make the playoffs this season. Iverson has unlimited shooting rights.
Data can be refreshed.
However, Iverson is not so easy to rack up statistics. Snow was still playing serious defense in the last quarter. Insiders Ben Wallace and Bo Otello were also playing serious defense. These two are only good at defense, and Bo Otello is also good at defense.
Pick and roll, double guard.
Iverson played 5 minutes and was replaced. He played 36 minutes and made 4 of 17 shots, 1 of 9 three-pointers, 3 of 6 free throws, 12 points, 2 rebounds, 11 assists, 1 steal, and 7 turnovers.
The 76ers' top scorer was Stackhouse, who only played 26 minutes. He made 8 of 12 shots, 4 of 5 three-pointers, 4 of 5 free throws, and scored 24 points, 3 rebounds and 6 assists.
Many Sonics players performed bravely. Payton only played 28 minutes, making 10 of 15 shots, 1 of 2 three-pointers, 2 of 2 free throws, and scored 23 points, 5 rebounds, 4 assists and 2 steals.
Kemp played 30 minutes, making 8 of 12 shots, 4 of 6 free throws, and scored 20 points, 13 rebounds, 2 assists, and 2 blocks.
The most efficient scorer was Sam Perkins, who made 9 of 10 shots, 4 of 5 three-pointers, and scored 22 points, 5 rebounds and 2 assists.
The Sonics still scored 25 points in the final quarter, while the defensive 76ers only scored 15 points in a single quarter, winning 132 to 86.
When the starters were away, Snow was leading the team. He played 26 minutes, made 5 of 6 shots, 2 of 3 three-pointers, and scored 12 points and 6 assists.
Zhang Lili sighed: "The SuperSonics' offense was too strong. In the second half, Yang Jian quickly opened up the score with his strength, and the 76ers couldn't withstand it."
Sun Zhengping said: "If Yang Jian really kept shooting, he would have scored more than 20 points in the third quarter. Except for the third quarter, he didn't exert much effort."
Zhang Lili said: "Seeing that his teammates have good touch and have an advantage, he will pass the ball more. Although his statistics are good, he is actually very selfless. His style of play makes it easier to lead the team to win, and he has the ability to average more than 35 points per game.
, but then the teammates will have to watch the fun."
The advantage of the big core style of play is that the players provide more assists. Even if the ball possession rate is extremely high, it is still selfless in the eyes of many people.
Live broadcast across the United States, ESPN commentators also lamented that there is a huge gap in strength between Iverson and Yang Jian.
The two are not facing each other. If they were facing each other, Iverson would probably be badly beaten. Before the game, many people were concerned about who was faster between the two. After this game, there was an answer. It was definitely Yang Jian who was faster.
Yang Jian had many fast breaks, scoring by himself or assisting his teammates. His impact was visibly stronger than that of Iverson. Iverson relied on flexibility to play, which made people feel light and airy, and was far less terrifying than Yang Jian.
When Iverson rushes, his opponent can block him with his body, so he has to hide and hit. When Yang Jian rushes, he feels unstoppable. If he hits him head-on, he may be injured.
The 76ers have very few fast breaks, and Iverson is not very good at advancing quickly. He is the one who is hit on fast breaks. Both Payton and Snow have successfully made layups against his single defense many times.
.
Iverson only committed one foul. He couldn't prevent the opponent from forcing a layup, and he also lost position due to gambling steals many times. The commentator knew that he was a rising star in the league and did not say that he was a defensive sloth, but after watching the game
Everybody will feel this way.
If it weren't for the superb performance of the 76ers' substitute swingman Mark Davis, the 76ers would have lost by more than 60 points today. Davis made 8 of 12 shots, 3 of 5 three-pointers, and 1 of 1 free throws, scoring 20 points, 4 rebounds and 5 rebounds.
assists.
When leaving the court, Iverson was extremely depressed and saw the gap between himself and the top stars. He was confident that he could surpass Payton, but he didn't feel good today, but Yang Jian's depth made him unable to see through it.
Yang Jian scored luxurious statistics without much effort. What's even more frightening is that this kind of statistics is routine for him. As soon as Yang Jian got the ball, Iverson felt that the Sonics were going to score, whether it was his own shot or a shot.
Assisting his teammates. This gave Iverson a strong sense of powerlessness and he didn't know how to defend.
Iverson is a confident star, but he started to doubt himself in the first game with Yang Jian, which was unfounded.
He suspected that he would never be Yang Jian's opponent, unless Yang Jian didn't have strong teammates around him. He was only good at offense, defense was his weakness. Yang Jian's style of play was too difficult to defend, and there was nothing he could do.
What Iverson didn't know was that Yang Jian hadn't used his big weapon yet, which was to switch to the defensive point guard position with Payton. Once the Sonics came down to defend and counterattack, Yang Jian would doubt his life by picking the capable Iverson.
At the press conference, Yang Jian was the focus of the audience again. He has led the team to 25 consecutive victories.
The reporter asked Yang Jian to evaluate Iverson. Yang Jian's double-double was not big news, and he had no thoughts. He could only make a fuss about the competition with the newcomers.
Yang Jian said: "He has great talent, fast speed and good skills. If he can practice shooting well, he should become an All-Star in the future."
The reporter asked: "How do you evaluate Stackhouse?"
"He is also very promising and has good scoring ability. Like Iverson, he lacks stability in shooting and needs to practice shooting." Yang Jianyu gave a spoiler about the future.
In a parallel world, these two competed for the season scoring title. However, both of their shooting percentages were horribly low, and they relied on the number of shots they took in exchange for data. Yang Jian would not go into details. Destroying the league's star-making plan would arouse the resentment of the president.
of.
When reporters asked Yang Jian to evaluate players, he basically praised them. This is an unspoken rule of the NBA. No matter who is strong or weak, whether they are really strong or not, as long as they are selected for the All-Star Game, they will basically "sympathize with each other."
Yang Jian is happy to follow this rule, and other stars also praise him in this way. The difference is that if others don't praise him, there is nothing they can do against him this season.
The reporter asked: "Your shooting this season has been incredibly accurate. How do you train?"
"I actually didn't spend much time practicing shooting. I just practiced hard before losing the draft and in the summer after joining the SuperSonics. My shooting accuracy is more due to talent. I was born to eat this kind of rice." Yang Jian
Start explaining the facts again.
The reporter asked: "You rank first in the league with 3.7 three-pointers per game this season, nearly 1 goal more than second place Reggie Miller. Why do you love shooting three-pointers so much?"
"Because there are no four-pointers." Yang Jian answered without thinking.
Many reporters were amused, and this joke can be talked about by fans for a long time.
Yang Jian's big jump shot is already top-notch, but he prefers to shoot three-pointers. A three-pointer rating from a super shooter is enough. His accuracy is not inferior to that of Reggie Miller. He takes more and more decisive shots, and his shooting percentage is lower than that of a mid-range shooter.
The efficiency is higher.
Reggie Miller is destined not to be able to throw as many three-pointers as Yang Jian in a game, because Miller is not that quick to get rid of the defense, and his offensive ability with the ball is not strong enough. If the opponent does not often double-team on the outside, Yang Jian can shoot more
Three more points.
George Karl told an interesting story about Yang Jian in an interview. "When he first entered the league, he liked to practice long-range three-pointers. I asked him why he did this. He said that he wanted to attract double-teams from outside the three-point line. In the future, his nickname will be Gravity.
.I thought he was joking at the time, but now someone double-teams him on the outside every game."
The reporter asked: "The SuperSonics' offensive tactics are almost impossible to guard this season. Can you talk about your thoughts on formation?"
"Everyone actively moves, shares the ball, and speeds up the transition between offense and defense. The most important thing is to let Yang receive the ball comfortably. His personal ability is the biggest guarantee for us to win."
