In the first half, Iverson shot 7-of-18, 0-of-2 from three-point range and 5-of-6 from the free-throw line to finish with 19 points and two assists. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

On the Raptors' side, Carter shot 6 of 8, 1 of 2 three-pointers, and 4 of 4 free throws, and quietly scored 17 points, 3 rebounds and 3 assists, which was not inferior to Iverson.

Miller played in the second half and hit another three-pointer, with 10 points, 8 rebounds and 7 assists in the half, heading for a triple-double.

O'Neal Jr., Maddy, and Billups also played well, and the Raptors led 57-33.

The 76ers scored only 15 points in a single quarter, and the whole team was dumbfounded.

In the second half, Iverson began to look for cover to get rid of, and he found that Boykins was fast and tight, and it was difficult to break through directly.

After only two minutes of play, Yang Rui replaced Cato, who was slow to change defense, and let Maddy play a cameo role as a power forward, and the other four were Boykins, Christie, Carter, O'Neal Jr., one big and four small.

O'Neal Jr. can move faster than many outside lines, and the Raptors have only one goal, limiting Iverson.

Maddie will not be a defensive hole, because this is Kukoc's cameo in the No. 4 position, and the 208CM tall Ratliff is only 102kg and is not good at attacking.

In order to stretch the formation apart, the 76ers must have an interior player on the court who can shoot. Maddie defended Kukochi and played to his strengths.

The Raptors wrapped up Iverson near the restricted area, focusing on those who could shoot threes from the outside, and letting others go. Latliff and Snow shot casually at 17 feet and outside, which was inefficient.

Iverson was entangled on the outside, and he was caught on the breakaway, so he could only shoot away from the basket.

Near the end of the third quarter, he was also stealed by Boykins once, the Raptors counterattacked the front court 2 to 1, Maddy threw the ball to the rebound and rebounded, Carter followed up with an empty catch, and the big windmill with a flat head dunk scored.

The Raptors crushed the 76ers in this quarter, leading 91-52, and the game went into garbage time.

Iverson had 28 points, 2 rebounds and 3 assists, accounting for more than half of the team's scores, but his teammates failed to give enough support.

With the team trailing by 39 points, Iverson continued to play. He still has the stamina and has averaged 41 minutes per game this season.

Since entering the league, Iverson has had a strong desire to win and a never-say-die spirit. Even if the 76 team was weak in the first two seasons, with the lowest record in the league, and often fell behind by a large score at halftime, he would fight tenaciously until the last few minutes to lead the team to a reversal.

In Yang Rui's previous life, Iverson's career average playing time per game was super high, reaching 41.1 minutes, and the playoffs were even as high as 45 minutes per game, which is quite terrifying!

Among them, he played an average of 40 minutes per game in his rookie season, and has played more than 40 minutes per game in 13 consecutive seasons in his career, and is an absolute iron man. Throughout the history of the NBA, only 5 players have averaged more than 40 minutes per game, and the rest are players from ancient times!

The Raptors came off the bench with Boykins, Hornacek, Christie, Jumaine Jones, Cato.

However, Iverson still failed to play a gorgeous offense in the final quarter, unable to get rid of Boykins easily, and his shooting touch was average, and he was strangled by the whole Raptors team when he broke through near the restricted area with his teammates.

"The Raptors were not only good offensively, but also had a lot of defensive intensity, they were very successful in defending Iverson, and the small guard Earl Boykins made all the fans remember his name today," Brin lamented. ”

Fraser smiled: "Dare to send a fringe man to defend the superstar, Yang Rui's tactics can no longer be described as 'bold', he is more like a crazy scientist than old Nelson." And he's right, Boykins is better at defending Iverson than anyone else. ”

Yang Rui let Boykins defend Iverson, and the mobile man assisted in the defense, copying the tactics of the 2001 Finals of the 76ers vs Lakers. When facing the 76ers in the regular season, Yang Rui did not give Boikins much opportunity to perform, using it as a secret weapon.

The Raptors did a good job on the defensive end, and the 76ers couldn't prevent the Raptors' offense, how could they not fail miserably?

The Raptors won 115-72, with six players scoring in double figures, and Miller chipped in 14 points, 11 rebounds and nine assists, and he only played 28 minutes, unfortunately missing a triple-double. Carter, Maddy, and O'Neal Jr. scored 20+.

Iverson was replaced four minutes early and played 41 minutes, shooting 13-of-35, 2-of-7 from three-point range and 7-of-8 from the free-throw line, shooting just 37.1 percent from the field and finishing with 35 points, three rebounds, four assists and two steals.

At the press conference, Larry Brown blackfaced the whole time, and the gap between the two teams was so big that he couldn't say anything, couldn't think of any way to beat the Raptors, and casually said a few perfunctory words.

At this time, he was thinking about how to lose less in the next game, not how to win. In the next game, Iverson will have to shoot less and pass more.

Iverson hasn't given up yet, saying: "The Raptors are a terrible team, their offense will make the opponent despair, we have problems both offensively and defensively, but we won't throw in the towel, the series has just begun, and we will look for ways to win." ”

Boykins had average stats, with only 7 points and 3 assists, and also attended the press conference. He played 28 minutes and was in charge of defending Iverson, and reporters were interested in him.

"I didn't expect to prove myself in such a way, and I was surprised when the coach announced the tactics before the game and said to give me playing time and put me in the same position as my idol," Boykins said with a smile. ”

The reporter asked: "You say, Iverson is your idol?" ”

"Yes, he's the shortest scoring champion in NBA history and a role model for me. But my goal was to get a foothold in the NBA, and Jerry had already done that for me. Boykins laughed.

He is not complimenting Iverson, any guard who does not have a height advantage and plays in the NBA will use Iverson as a role model. Who doesn't want to be the heart of a team and be the scoring champion?

The reporter asked: "Have you ever thought that you can prevent him?" ”

"I just tried to dwell on it and not let him shoot comfortably. I can't defend myself alone, but his low shooting percentage today is the result of the team's collective efforts, and he's probably the strongest player in NBA history who is less than 6 feet tall, so there's a big gap between me and him. Boikins replied.

Yang Rui asked Boigins to come to the press conference to make him more famous, but he had to be careful and humble in answering questions.

If Boykins doesn't say these things, Iverson fans will probably start a scolding war, Iverson's fans will do their best to defend their idols, and those who hate Iverson will use Boykins' words today as evidence to suppress Iverson.

If Iverson's fans were to anger Boigins, he would be in big trouble, he would be scolded badly, and there would be no fans to speak for him.

Yang Rui was interviewed and commented on the game: "I'm very happy that we got off to a good start again, the players played very well, and did everything the coaching staff asked of at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends, and I hope they can perform like this every game, so that we will definitely win the championship." ”

The reporter asked: "Will you reuse Boykins in the future?" ”

Yang Rui thought for a while and smiled: "It depends on who the opponent is, a team like the 76ers with a low post offense, I will reuse him, because it will not become a defensive hole." If the opponent is a team like the Jazz and the Lakers, I definitely won't let him play and be abused. The Raptors don't have a fixed tactic, only the most suitable tactic! ”
