Jiang Dalin received his "Best Defensive Player Award" from David Stern before the start of the second game of the playoffs.

There was a huge cheer at the scene.

In the history of the Wizards, there has never been a player who won the "Best Defensive Award", and Jiang Dalin was the first. He won this award with 40.1% of the vote.

The original "Best Defensive Player Award" Ben Wallace's support rate was only 23.4%. He won the "Best Defensive Player Award" last season because there was no qualitative change in the Pistons' record this season, which led to

His still outstanding performance is not enough to support him to win the "Best Defensive Player Award" again this season.

It was also at this moment that he once again realized that he was pulling the wool too hard!

Ben Wallace is a bit of a loner.

There is another question...

Since the Pistons have not inspired the "Four Pistons" this season, even if the "Fifth Tiger" can join the Pistons next season, they may not be able to win the championship.

So this season will be the same as before, where will Larry Brown, who resigned from the 76ers, go...

Of course, this is not something he can predict by just guessing now, he will know when the time comes!

Just like the previous game, Allen Iverson showed his hard work from the beginning. In terms of fighting spirit, Allen Iverson is definitely the best in history.

But as far as his style of play is concerned, sometimes this fighting spirit actually hurts him.

Just like tonight's game.

Allen Iverson is very motivated, but he worked too hard in the last game and obviously did not rest well in this game.

The most important point is that Scott took out the "ultimate weapon" against Allen Iverson - Tyronn Lue.

What makes "Answer" a little bit intolerable is that since knowing that he was going to beat the 76ers, Tyronn Lue had a "ditch" hair style again, and once again became the shadow of Allen Iverson.

Let's face it, he is really good at getting Allen Iverson's mentality.

Allen Iverson, who was forced to panic, glared at him. He forced a smile and said to Allen Iverson: "Sorry, it's the contract year again!"

Allen Iverson was really speechless: "How many contracts do you want me to help you get?"

Well, it's a coincidence. Tyronn Lue obviously didn't have many opportunities to perform this season. He was once worried about his next contract. He really didn't expect that during this critical period, he would encounter another problem.

Although this is not the stage of the finals, the value of the playoff semifinals is not low!

Allen Iverson, who was not in that good shape, encountered his "shadow". In the end, his performance was obviously not as good as the previous game. After the whole game, he only scored 29 points.

Compared to other scorers, this is actually not a very bad statistic.

But the 76ers' offensive end really depends on him alone...

They couldn't win the last game under the same circumstances, let alone Allen Iverson, who just scored 29 points.

122 to 107, the Wizards won their second victory in the second round of the playoffs at their home court, and then they will go to Philadelphia.

The Spurs continue to defeat the Kings easily, and currently have a big score of 2-0.

Another matchup in the Eastern Conference the next day had a different result.

Jason Kidd scored an "economical triple-double" with 10 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists. Coupled with Jason Richardson's 24 points and 3 3-pointers, they narrowly defeated 93-90 by 3 points.

If Reggie Miller hadn't missed the last three-pointer and failed to force overtime, we might have lost again. It would have been really difficult to win.

The Lakers continued to slaughter the Timberwolves, winning by almost 20 points this time.

In the first round, Kevin Garnett and Nowitzki made a huge splash, but when it came to Shaquille O'Neal, he could only be beaten passively.

He really can't beat Shaquille O'Neal.

Back then, he shrunk his shoulders to make himself look less tall, just to avoid a direct confrontation with Shaquille O'Neal. But now it seems that unless he doesn't play inside, he should face off against Shaquille O'Neal.

You can't run away.

Just like what happened in this series.

Of course, Kevin Garnett was not surprised by this. After it was confirmed that the Lakers would advance, he knew that his progress this season would stop at the Western Conference semifinals.

"Everyone, follow me tonight."

The Wizards have now arrived in Philadelphia, and Barkley, who has lived in Philadelphia for n years, can't help but want to be a tour guide for everyone.

Scott didn't say anything. The veterans in the playoffs are all very controlled. They know how far they can play. There is no need to worry at all.

This is a night that Barkley keeps reminiscing about, and when he enters the Philadelphia 76ers Arena, he has even more memories. To be honest, when he was with the 76ers, although he was also a star and became a big boss,

It is true that his ability to lead the team is not as good as when he was with the Suns later, but his rookie career started with this team, and he can think of many things that would not happen with the Suns...

"When Moses Malone asked me to lose weight, it still makes me feel worse than death!"

Jiang Dalin couldn't help laughing when he heard his nostalgia. He later read this story on the Internet. When Barkley persuaded Zion to lose weight, he used this incident as an example.

That day, Barkley wanted to be a guest at Malone's apartment. During the meal, he found that Malone had not prepared a plate for him. He asked Malone. As a result, Malone told him that he thought Barkley was "fat and lazy" and had no restraint in his diet.

, has been gaining weight, and his weight has soared to 136 kilograms, so he must lose weight before he can eat at his house.

Malone's words directly made the young Barkley feel extremely wronged and burst into tears on the spot. However, he realized the kindness in Malone's words and began to work hard to lose weight. After a difficult period of hard training, he lost all the way to 113.5 kilograms.

Of course, compared to later saying that this incident was mainly to persuade Zion to lose weight, this time his fault was mainly focused on Moses Malone: ​​"Later, when I lost weight to almost 110 kilograms, this bitch told me

Too thin, you have to gain some weight..."

This story made other people in the "senior group" laugh. At that time, the information was limited, and they had no idea that such a thing had happened to Barkley.

The audience cheered for Barkley before the home players entered the arena.

From a performance perspective, Barkley was not successful during his years with the 76ers. Well, in terms of performance, he was unsuccessful not just during his years with the 76ers, but throughout his entire career.

But evaluating a player is not always based on performance. This can be seen from the 76ers retiring Barkley's jersey.

In fact, being a player and reaching this level is pretty good.

When the lights were turned off, the cheers from the Philadelphia 76ers fans at the scene belonged only to the 76ers.

When Allen Iverson came on the court, the cheers were like blowing up the entire arena! This shows Allen Iverson’s current influence in this city!

The game started quickly, and the 76ers did not make any adjustments to their tactics. Well... it was also difficult to adjust. On the offensive end, they had to rely on Allen Iverson, and after Mutombo left this team, they had to rely on Allen Iverson on the defensive end.

All that's left is hard work!

Later, when many fans evaluated Allen Iverson's performance in 2001 when he led the team to the Finals with a single core, there were many doubts that Allen Iverson was not a true single-core leader. This is because in this team

The team's lineup includes the "Best Defensive Player" Mutombo.

Although the impact of his departure was not reflected in the regular season record or the first round of the playoffs, the impact was completely exposed in the game against the Wizards.

It is worth mentioning that the Nets' ability to complete the comeback in the second game of the series also had a lot to do with Mutombo limiting O'Neal's second offense in the paint.

The cheers from the audience gave Allen Iverson more momentum. At the end of the first half, he scored 25 points, which was only 4 points behind the total score in the previous game.

It's just that the 76ers are not leading, but are still trailing by 4 points.

Kenny Smith couldn't help but shake his head: "Seriously, when a team's core players have achieved this step and the team is still lagging behind, they should really think about how to help the core players share the pressure!"

He was not talking about this series. In Kenny Smith's view, the 76ers have reached the end of the road this year. They will be eliminated in the second round. There is no doubt about it. What he is talking about is that the 76ers should play in the summer.

What supplements to make.

"Whoosh!"

At 7 minutes and 14 seconds of the fourth quarter, as Barkley used his signature turn-over jumper to complete the goal, the 76ers fell into silence, 78 to 94. Fans of any team would be disappointed under such a team.

, I’m afraid it will be difficult to cheer for the home team so enthusiastically anymore, oh, by the way, except for the fans in Salt Lake City. The team’s loss will not affect their enthusiasm for scolding the visiting team players, because they are originally just to vent their emotions and carry on.

Came to cheer for the team.

"ball!"

But even under such circumstances, Allen Iverson was still asking for the ball to attack, and his eyes were full of energy. That kind of light is not something a team like this can have.

But even though he worked hard until the last moment, the 76ers still lost the third game of the series by 15 points.

Until this moment, Allen Iverson finally looked a little discouraged...

Before the start of this series, all the media were saying that they would not defeat the Wizards, and they would not be able to drag the series to the fifth or sixth game.

Originally, his idea was to prove that he could do this no matter what, but now, he had to admit... they were right!

It is indeed difficult for the 76ers to compete with this team.

Allen Iverson was discouraged, but on a night like this when he once again scored 45 points, but the team still lost the game by a big score, he had no way not to be discouraged...

Even he has no fighting spirit, let alone others.

Without any surprise, the Philadelphia 76ers lost the fourth game of the series. Allen Iverson averaged 38.5 points, 4 rebounds, 4.5 assists and 2.5 steals per game, but he still could not bring a victory to the 76ers.

No need to say what this means!

This team needs a change!

Allen Iverson hugged Larry Brown after the game.

Feel sorry!

He said this in his heart, he wanted to give Larry Brown a victory or two against the Wizards, and he didn't want to be swept out of the second round of the playoffs.

Because he knew that this would be their last season together.

But unfortunately, he failed. He failed to complete what he wanted to give to Larry Brown...

When Larry Brown hugged Allen Iverson, he smiled for the first time in this series or this season: "Good job, man!"

He is talking about Allen Iverson this season, or maybe the Allen Iverson he has worked with for so many years...

After the hug, Allen Iverson came to say hello to Michael Jordan.

Jordan averaged 18.5 points, 5 rebounds and 4.5 assists per game in this series. His average points per game were nearly 4 points more than in the previous game. This was completely the fighting spirit that Allen Iverson forced out.

"Man, you're really good!"

Michael Jordan comforted him with a hug.

Allen Iverson smiled, looked at Jiang Dalin, and walked towards him: "You are really incredible!" There was a helpless sigh in his eyes.

Jiang Dalin averaged 30 points, 15 rebounds, 3 assists and 3 blocks in this series. This is what Allen Iverson once again lamented in his heart since Shaquille O'Neal's series.

:This is indeed a giant game!

Jiang Dalin hugged him and expressed his admiration for him.

How can I put it, there is no chance that the next Allen Iverson will emerge in the NBA...

It’s hard to believe that a guy who is 183cm tall has such infinite power in his body!

At the press conference after the game, a reporter asked Larry Brown what he thought of Jiang Dalin. He was full of praise for Jiang Dalin: "This guy is definitely a very good insider. He has unlimited possibilities. I think he is a great player."

His defensive dominance has not yet been fully demonstrated, he can become a better guy!"

Hearing these words, Jiang Dalin felt vaguely that something was wrong.

Then the reporter asked again: "Will you continue to coach the 76ers next season?"

Larry Brown gave an ambiguous answer after smiling: "I also want to know the answer to this question. It may or may not depend on the conversation we had in the summer. No one knows what will happen in the future.

matter……"

The Wizards advance to the Eastern Conference Finals.

On the other side, the "ok" team of the Lakers showed their ability in the excitement. After falling behind by 10 points in the fourth game of the series, they unexpectedly overtook the score.

The Timberwolves lost a great game.

At the same time, the Lakers also showed their formidable scoring explosiveness in this game.

Bill Walton said bluntly: "The scoring points this team has are not just the ok combination, but the existence of these people also makes the ok combination more powerful!"

4-0, the Lakers also advance to the Western Conference Finals!
