The Pope of Basketball Community

In another series, the 76ers and Bucks played seven games, giving the Raptors players time to rest and the coaching staff breathed a sigh of relief. ?

In the tiebreaker, Iverson was in a very sluggish state and missed all his first 9 shots. The Bucks failed to seize the opportunity to open up the score, and the players took turns to strike.

The two teams tied at 19-19. The Bucks players must regret that they wasted a great opportunity in the first quarter. After adjustments, Iverson began to dominate, scoring 16 points in the second quarter to lead the team to an advantage, 51 to 35 at halftime.

In the second half, the Bucks showed their due level and narrowed the score several times. They had to face Iverson, who had found his touch, and they were never able to recover the score.

In the end, 9o to 83, the 76ers advanced to the Eastern Conference finals.

On May 22, the Raptors vs. 76ers game started in Toronto.

Affected by a hip injury, Iverson's performance was very sluggish. He scored a game-high 36 points, but only hit 8 goals in 31 shots, with a shooting percentage of 25.7%. Iverson also affected the performance of other players. The 76ers made constant mistakes throughout the game and were defeated 8o to 1o8.

The Raptors just shrunk their formation, preventing penetrations but not shots. Boykins was entangled on the outside, and Yang Rui didn't know how to defend Iverson.

After experiencing the nightmare of the first game, all the 76ers made a vow in front of Philadelphia radio reporters that they would never repeat the mistakes of the first game.

In the second game, Iverson really regained his feeling. He made 39 shots and scored an astonishing 54 points, 5 rebounds, 4 assists and 1 steal, setting a new playoff scoring record. He led the 76 team to defeat the Raptors 1o1-93 in the away game and tied the score to 1-1.

The weakness of the Raptors point guard was revealed. Boykins pestered Iverson like he did on the court, but Iverson felt hot and the small defensive strategy did not work.

Others don't care about Crotty, Carter, Reed, Halprin;

One-on-one can't keep up with Iverson's speed.

Carter scored 33 points, which is nothing compared to Iverson.

After the game, the media called the duel between Iverson and Carter the rivalry of the century.

In the third game at the 76ers' home court, Yang Rui arranged a new tactic. While defending in a zone, Reed was substituted.

The team consists of Crotty, Curry, Carter, Jumaine, and Miller, playing small ball tactics. The four people pulled away, and Carter took the lead in a one-on-one challenge. This is using the 76ers' method to deal with the 76ers. The ball is concentrated on one person. The scores of both sides increased alternately, and the score was tied at 22 in the quarter.

In the second quarter, Yang Rui asked Halprin to hold the ball in the middle and play as a point forward. Jackson and Miller formed a twin tower to provide Boykins and Reed with no-ball cover on both sides, helping them to catch the ball, shoot or break through.

Iverson chases Boykins, Miller can organize with the ball from the outside, and Halprin cuts in the middle. Iverson doesn't chase Boykins, who can misplace Mutombo with the ball, and Miller screens and waits for opportunities to shoot from the outside.

On the other side, Jackson screened Reed, helped him run and catch the ball, and cut inside to the basket. Yang Rui did not make any reservations and increased Miller's playing time, which can better ensure the movement of the ball.

Iverson didn't rest the whole game and his physical strength was amazing, but others couldn't. In the final quarter, Mutombo and Te'lon Hill's physical strength declined. Reid, Curry, and Carter each hit three-pointers to establish their advantage.

When Matt Geiger came on the field, he was worse at off-ball coverage. Larry Brown only allowed the bald man to play for 12 minutes, but there were still loopholes.

After the game, the media unanimously believed that Yang Rui did a better job in arranging tactics and played the roles of veterans and newcomers after changing formations.

Curry scored 12 points, Reed made 7 of 15 shots, 3 of 6 three-pointers, 4 of 4 free throws, 4 points, 4 rebounds and 2 assists. There was a period of time in the third quarter when the big man lineup was used. Carter was responsible for controlling the ball. Iverson and Reid faced each other, and he directly used his body to get to the basket.

Facing the disadvantage of falling behind 1-2, the 76ers showed their home court advantage in the fourth game and defended extremely fiercely.

Iverson's swing was not very good, and he scored points on 10 shots, but he hit a large three-pointer midway through the fourth quarter, breaking the stalemate with the Raptors.

Carter only scored 25 points under McGee's focused defense, and his shooting percentage was as low as only 8 of 27. In the end, the 76ers came together to equalize the score again.

For this victory, the 76ers also paid a heavy price. Forward George Lynch was injured and left the field in the third quarter. After the game, he was found to have a fracture in his left foot. He will no longer be able to play in the playoffs. Larry Brown can only reuse him. Rookie Maurice Peterson.

Returning to Toronto in Game 5, Carter finally surged.

His popularity is higher than that of Iverson, and he has topped the All-Star vote for two consecutive years. Many people say that he is the most likely player to surpass Jordan in active service. However, he has not scored high points throughout the season, and the playoffs have been tepid.

Yang Rui arranged unlimited shooting rights and cover tactics for Carter, encouraging him to stand up and lead the team.

Carter hit 8 three-pointers in the first half, setting a new NBA half-time record. He scored 50 points in the game and led the home team to a 1o2-78 victory, with a total score of 3-2 and a match point.

Iverson was completely overshadowed by Carter's brilliance, scoring only 23 points and 8 assists.

Before Game 6, 76ers general Te'lon Hill's father was seriously ill and hospitalized, but he still endured the pain and played the game. The situation was once favorable to the Raptors, but an accident in the fourth quarter became a turning point.

Carter injured his ankle during a layup at 9 minutes and 15 seconds and left the game. Without their top scorer, the Raptors' offense was weak and they were reversed by the 76ers 89-87 with an 11-point lead.

Hill scored 14 points. Throughout the playoffs, the 76ers have always shown an indomitable fighting spirit. They were still able to win even though many players were injured.

In the tiebreaker, the situation was particularly tragic.

Halprin and Carter have ankle injuries, and Miller has a swollen knee and insists on playing through injuries.

The 76ers were even more determined. Snow was diagnosed with a fractured ankle before the game. Although the doctor warned that continuing to play would risk worsening the injury, he decided to play.

Snow fractured his right ankle on December 5 last year, which caused him to miss 32 regular season games for the 76ers. Team doctor Baxter used a screw to fix the fracture. After the All-Star break, Snow returned to the game. Although tendinitis at the fracture site troubled him, he still averaged 9.8 points and 7.4 assists per game. ?

Snow's old injury had healed, but a new injury appeared near the screw, only that screw reduced Snow's pain and allowed him to compete. ?

It was revealed by the media that Iverson was injured all over his body. If you just look at the news, people would think that he is not playing with injuries anymore, but that this is the return of the mummy!

After the game started, both sides paid great attention to defense, and the physical confrontation was also very fierce. Carter's condition was not very good, and a minor ankle injury would also affect his movement.

Important role players Halprin and Reed were invisible. They had never experienced such a big scene and their performance was abnormal.

Brad Millaway scored a near-triple-double with 16 points, 14 rebounds and 8 assists; Jumaine Jones made 5 of 8 shots, 3 of 4 three-pointers, and 2 of 2 free throws, scoring 15 points and 5 rebounds.

If it weren't for the two outstanding performances, the Raptors would have surrendered in the third quarter.

In the last quarter, Iverson showed a very selfless performance and sent out consecutive assists. Peterson hit two three-pointers, Snow made a three-pointer and two mid-range shots, and Iverson himself also had a three-pointer. scored, leading by 10 points with 76 points in the final minute.

Afterwards, Carter and Reed missed a three-pointer and used foul tactics. Iverson made two free throws, and the Raptors lost the game 91 to 1o3.

The 76ers have passed the danger and will challenge the Lakers in the finals, who have been sweeping the promotion. 8
