The speed is so fast that many people can't react, which is an important reason why Iverson can become the scoring leader.

Yang Rui knows that in the future, several super guards will run in 11.69 seconds, Wall 10.84 seconds, and Iverson 10.05 seconds.

Even Rose's agility is a notch behind Iverson's. In terms of straight-line speed, lateral speed, and shifting ability, no one in the league is more perfect than Iverson.

Back on the defensive end, Iverson was not so perfect. He looked at McGrady who brought the ball over, and he was muttering in his heart. "Are you kidding me? I'm mainly guarding against this guy?"

Any point guard will feel pressure when he sees a two-meter tall man dribbling the ball towards him, just like those guards faced "Magic" Johnson back then.

McGrady relied on his size and the width of the court to avoid Iverson's steals and bring them to the front frame, and jumped up and made a jumper from the middle. There is no fake action, and you don't even look at your teammates, just shoot!

Iverson only stretched out his hand, gave up the jump, the arc of the ball was very flat, and hit the basket and then went into the frame! 3 to 2.

In just one round, Larry Brown's expression became more serious than at the beginning. It was a bold attempt for him to let Iverson play the shooting guard at 183cm. Yang Rui let McGrady play the point guard, which was even more slanted.

The number one star of the Raptors is Carter, and it is a misplacement for Snow to be in charge. If Snow focuses on McGrady, Iverson has to guard Carter. Let Owens defend McGrady, does Iverson defend De Treve and Jumaine?

Those two are both forwards. Even if they are not too heavy, Iverson will definitely not be able to defend against a small guard.

In addition, the Raptors players and Jermaine O'Neal are misplaced in a pick-and-roll, and Jermaine O'Neal cuts to the basket. Could it be Iverson's weak side to defend the basket?

Brown was thinking, Iverson broke through again, made an emergency stop for a jumper, and missed it under the interference of Jumaine, Jermaine O'Neal grabbed the rebound and passed it to McGrady.

McGrady quickly led across the half court, attracting Ratliff's defense, and Carter quickly reached out for the ball.

McGrady had already figured out who to give it to, took the ball in front of the three-point line in the middle and shook his hands, and gave it to Zhumaine who followed up from the left.

Iverson and Jumaine faced each other. He retreated quickly, but he didn't know who to defend. When he saw McGrady passing the ball, he rushed to Jumaine.

Zhu Meiyin is also 203cm tall, and he is still a master jumper with one hand. He uses his arm strength to launch it and has a non-standard shooting posture. The standard shooting posture is to point the wrist out, and most basketball players use this,

Hit rate is higher than non-standard shooting posture.

Zhu Meiyin is a different kind. His posture was not standard when he was in school, and he got used to it. He takes off very high, has a strong sense of rhythm in his shots, and his height is difficult to block. Iverson hardly caused any interference, and he hit! 6 to 2.

"Three-pointers, bang!" Mike Brin shouted passionately: "Two goals in a row, the Raptors always have a way to seize the opponent's weaknesses."

If Carter and McGrady just dunk beautifully, that's nothing special. Their strength lies in their ability to adjust their play style according to the opponent's defense, which is a test of the head coach's ability.

The 76ers attacked, and the ball was still handed over to Iverson.

The teammates pulled away, and Iverson singled out McGrady, making continuous crossovers to the right and changing to an emergency stop jumper. The emergency stop jump shot after changing direction is one of his nirvana. McGrady was swayed and lost half of his body, turned around and jumped up and couldn't cover it, and the ball scored. 6 to 4.

The opponent scored again, but McGrady was not in a hurry. Anyway, the coach said that no matter how many points Iverson scored, he would not blame him for his poor defense. What he had to do was to fight back on the offensive end and prove that he had better scoring ability.

This is too much to McGrady's appetite. The stars compete with each other, which is the biggest attraction on the court and the most showy style of play.

Brown didn't dare to let Iverson defend McGrady all the time, and called for a switch on the sidelines, and asked Iverson to defend Jumaine in the corner.

In the summer, the 76ers wanted to trade Jumein to the 76ers, but they were rejected. Because Jumein can swing between the 3 and 4 positions, he is suitable for defending pick-and-rolls. Brown believes that he can help the team on the defensive end, and he does not need to do much on the offensive end.

Now Brown discovered that Zhu Meiyin was also in charge of offense in the Raptors, and Yang Rui focused on developing his offensive attributes.

Not being well-known or being skilled generally doesn't mean you can't score, as long as Zhu Meiyin doesn't stand in the corner stupidly.

Carter and Jermaine O'Neal ran without the ball on the side, and McGrady passed the ball. Carter took the ball into the three-point line, suddenly jumped a little away from Ratliff, and passed the ball to the baseline.

Zhu Meiyin made an empty cut to the inside, catching the ball and hitting the basket, Zhu Meiyin beat Iverson and scored a layup. 8 to 4.

Owens, a 91-year veteran, used to be an excellent forward, but after three serious injuries, his jumping ability and speed have long since declined, and he failed to make up defenses in time.

Yang Rui showed a confident smile on the sidelines. The reason why he played five big men was to stare at Iverson and fight endlessly.

Let's bully you as a kid, what's the matter?

The offense goes to the weak side, and Iverson's ability to dislocate and block shots is almost zero. Realizing his predicament, he could only fight back with offense.

He didn't rely on cover, and chose to single out McGrady with the ball again. This time McGrady gained experience and deliberately stuck on the right side to break through the route, forcing Iverson to the left.

As soon as Iverson walked to the left, Carter let go of Snow and rushed forward. When McGrady chased him, the two swingmen formed a double team.

Snow was left empty on the outside and couldn't shoot. Iverson knew this well and chose a jumper with an emergency stop. Under Carter's interference, he missed the rebound. O'Neal grabbed the rebound and passed it to Tracy McGrady.

McGrady caught the ball on the right side and quickly dribbled the ball behind Iverson's steal to reach the three-point line, attracting Snow's defense, threw the ball up, and bounced off the board.

Snow shifted his center of gravity towards McGrady, and Carter pointed to the sky on the left side. The two had a tacit understanding. Carter caught the ball with both hands and made a windmill in the air. His movements were stretched and elegant, his head was almost flat, and he dunked with his right hand to score. 10 to 4.

The Raptors were all excited, and the fans felt that it was worth the fare when they saw a goal like this.

"Carter deserves 50 for that shot!" Brin yelled.

Fraser said with a smile: "This ball really scored a perfect score in the slam dunk contest. I think there is no suspense about who will win the slam dunk championship at Star Weekend."

Brown was also stunned on the sidelines. These two guys are not human. They are tall, they can jump high, and they can run so fast? !

Snow dribbled the ball to the front court, Iverson ran for a cover, caught the ball and shot a three-pointer, which missed under the interference of O'Neal, Ratliff grabbed the offensive rebound, and scored under the basket. 10 to 6.

McGrady and O'Neal picked and rolled again, and the jump shot missed the basket with an emergency stop, and finally missed.

In the 76ers' positional battle, Iverson was double-teamed again, forced a layup and flew out of the baseline, but missed the ball under the interference of Jermaine O'Neal.

Detref got the rebound and made a pass, the Raptors counterattacked, 3-on-2 in the frontcourt, Carter scored the ball, McGrady didn't wait for Iverson to come back, and made a 70-degree three-pointer from the right side, and hit it again without interference. 13 to 6.

Brown hurriedly asked for a timeout, the 76ers obviously couldn't defend, and Iverson also encountered trouble on the offensive end, and his teammates didn't give enough support after double-teaming.

Snow is a double-edged sword. He defends well, but his poor shooting can't open up space. Opponents can let him open to double-team Iverson.

What's even more tragic is that Ratliff didn't have a mid-range shot inside, and the two players on the field shot poorly. When will the Raptors not double-team the core?
