Reborn My Name Is Kobe

After the timeout ended, the Sixers had replaced all their main players. Facts have proved that they can't do it without Iverson.

Iverson only rested for a few minutes, but it was enough for him to recover his physical fitness to 80% or 90%. When he came on the court, he started a series of incredible offensive performances.

Because our Lakers no longer have Shaq guarding the interior at this time, Iverson has become more and more free to do whatever he wants. When Van Exel defended him, he was basically given a step. In fact,

Later, the league modified some rules about zone defense in order to restrict Iverson. In this era, zone defense is actually considered illegal defense. However, in actual games, there are still many differences in the defensive strategies of each team.

Similar to the defensive strategy of zone defense, referees did not strictly follow the rules. At the same time, because there was no defensive three seconds in this era, the power of zone defense in the 1990s was often more terrifying than that of the later NBA.

At the same time, in this era, because three-point shooting has not yet become the main scoring method for each team, the space on the entire game court is very bloated, and most of the time it is crowded inside, which also creates more opportunities for breakthrough players.

Great difficulty, which is why the scores in this era are so much lower than later, and the offensive pace is slower. The fundamental reason is that everyone's offensive efficiency and shooting percentage are much lower than those in the later NBA.

Iverson's overall shooting percentage in his career has always been relatively low, but this has not affected him in the slightest from winning so many scoring titles. This is not just because he likes to shoot indiscriminately, but because teams in this era need such a key player.

Players who use their individual abilities to score points in isolation when it is difficult for everyone to open up the situation. Iverson, Kobe, Tracy McGrady, and Carter are all such players. They are called the four major points in the league, which is why their

The reason why the shooting percentage does not seem to be high but they are still called top stars is because their shooting percentage is based on extremely difficult shots, so the gold content of their scores is higher. These scores are for

The team's help is also far more valuable than those shots with a seemingly higher shooting percentage.

This is why when looking at player statistics, you cannot simply start with shooting percentage, because different types of players have different shot ratios. This involves some more complex high-level statistics, which I will explain here.

No further explanation will be given.

Iverson continues to impact the Lakers' inside line, but there is no other better way. We can't let Shaq play on the court with three fouls. If he gets a fourth foul,

Then he doesn't have to play in the second half.

I took the initiative to exchange defensive targets with Van Exel. I would defend Iverson, and he would defend Stackhouse. Although he was not very effective in defending Stackhouse, at least

Stackhouse is not as fast as Iverson. When he breaks through to the inside, we can still have time to react and double-team. However, after Iverson breaks into the inside, the power is a bit too great. Even if we

It was completely too late for other Lakers players to cover up the defense.

But what surprised me was that Van Exel didn't think so. He was unwilling to exchange defenders with me, even if he had been blown away by Iverson, and he was unwilling to admit his problem, but this

This guy's character is like this. I know that it's meaningless to say anything more, so I can only let him continue to face Iverson.

Of course Iverson wouldn't think that much. If you can't guard me, then I will keep hitting you until I beat you up. Halfway through the second quarter, Iverson had already cut

He scored as much as 21 points. You must know that Iverson's average score this season has only been 23 points per game. I didn't expect that he exploded in the first game against our Lakers. I'm afraid if it continues like this.

It's not about letting Iverson score 30 points at halftime. We can't let this happen no matter what.

Then I no longer cared about what Van Exel thought, and just went to defend Iverson. Van Exel may have lost his temper, so it was okay for me to do this.

Without saying anything more, he obediently ran to defend Stackhouse.

Iverson's touch has gradually become hot at this time. It will obviously be more difficult to suppress him to death. If I devote all my energy to defense, it may not be possible, because even if I defend with all my strength, it will only be enough.

I can only restrict him a little bit, but if I don't contribute on the offensive end, I'm afraid the Sixers will quickly overtake the score.

Now our Lakers still hold a 5-point lead, but the Sixers' overall momentum has gradually picked up. If we don't work hard to press now, we will really be unable to hold on later, not to mention that Iverson is originally

For a player who likes to play emotional games, as long as his condition improves, he really doesn't know how serious the consequences will be.

At this time, the scene of being beaten by Iverson in Hollywood reappeared in my mind. This incident told me one thing, that is, never let Iverson find the offensive feeling. His touch is always good.

There will be a series of goals coming and going.

I had a little discussion with other Lakers players on the court and decided to speed up the double-teaming and defense. Especially when Iverson was about to break through, as long as I could force him to pass the ball or take mid-to-long-distance shots,

Then our strategy will be considered successful.

On the other hand, I also greatly strengthened my compulsion on the defensive end. I began to follow and defend Iverson most closely whether he had the ball in his hand or was running without the ball, without giving him a breath.

Although his physical fitness is very good, my physical fitness is not bad. As long as I am willing to expend physical energy to fight with him, I will definitely cause a lot of trouble to him.

My idea was quickly confirmed. When Iverson was closely guarded by me, he suddenly lost his arrogance. The most important thing is that I used my height and wingspan to try to block him.

Interrupting the passing route given to him by his teammates, if he wants to catch the ball, he often needs to spend many times more energy than usual to run out of space. Even if he encounters a tall player to block Iverson, I

He also tried his best to get around the pick-and-roll man. Even if he couldn't keep up with Iverson's speed, because Iverson's long-range shot threat was not particularly great, there would be no such situation where the pick-and-roll was out of position and he was completely out of position.

In Law's case, after all, Iverson is not Curry. Even if he is allowed to shoot three-pointers after the pick-and-roll, he cannot kill our Lakers.

The most important point is that when my stalking defense continued for a period of time, Iverson's mood was on the verge of collapse. Originally, when Van Exel was defending him, he attacked

He looked so comfortable on the end, but now that it was me defending him, he felt extremely uncomfortable, as if every attack required many times more physical energy than usual. His style of play itself is quite energy-consuming.

Even someone as physically fit as him can't withstand such exertion.

And when Iverson comes up, he likes to take random shots, even if he is against my tight defense, he will take crazy shots. It is simply more Kobe's style of play than Kobe. I finally know who Kobe learned how to play from. Where?

He studied under Jordan, and he was obviously studying under Allen Iverson. At this time, I had the illusion that the person opposite me was not Iverson, but Kobe. He was taking crazy shots and wanted to prove it crazily.

Own.

At this time, some pictures flashed through my mind, and then I felt a dizzy feeling, and the whole world seemed to be shaking. Seeing me like this, Iverson seized the opportunity and jumped in front of me.

I swayed over, and I put my hands on the ground, and suddenly fell to my knees on the ground, and my mind went blank.

I only heard a whistle sound, which seemed to be the sound of a pause. Then someone helped me and put me on the bench. Someone was dripping some liquid into my eyes. Someone was shaking me in front of me.

It seems that I can hear everything they say clearly, but I seem to be unable to remember everything they say. What is all this going on?

When I gradually woke up from this dizziness, there was less than a minute left in the second quarter. I rubbed my eyes and looked at the scoreboard above my head in disbelief. We, the Lakers

At the end of the half, our team fell behind by 12 points, 40-52. I hit my head hard, and a feeling of dizziness continued to spread. I was really afraid that someone would take me to check my brain later.

Whether I have a concussion, you must know that a player with a concussion will not be able to play in this game no matter what.

Without the two core offensive points of me and Shaq, and Iverson was already close to going berserk, even though his touch declined under my desperate defense, his previous scores had helped him build up enough confidence, and when I

After leaving the game, Iverson went berserk again. At halftime, he scored 29 points by himself, only one point short of reaching 30 points. I don't know if he deliberately failed to cross the 30-point threshold.

I had to regain my consciousness as soon as possible. After the second half started, Shaq and I were still waiting for a huge counterattack.

During the fifteen minutes of halftime, I leaned on the stool in the locker room and closed my eyes. Although the surroundings were quite noisy, especially Shaq, who was still making noises as usual, I felt that I could resist the noise coming from me.

Affected by his voice, he worked hard to enter his own meditative state.

Methods like meditation are actually very effective ways to control and improve your mental state. When your mind is highly concentrated, you can see things that you can't usually see. The more concentrated your energy is, the more

The benefits of meditation will be greater for you.

We humans are not just physical beings. A very important thing that distinguishes us humans from ordinary animals is that we are thinking animals. We are animals with souls. Maybe other animals also have souls, but they don’t.

An animal's soul can be as rich and powerful as ours.

Meditation is an act of concentrating on exploring one's inner soul power. Such spiritual exploration can greatly strengthen the meditator's soul and mental strength, giving him a unique trait when facing more difficult situations.

That is the ability to become more courageous with every setback.

Of course, the role of meditation is far more than that. It can also broaden your spiritual width and make your spiritual realm like a sea, rather than a small pool or a stream.

The wider your mental breadth, the stronger the energy you can draw from it.

If your spiritual world is a vast ocean, then when you need this spiritual water, what you can show is a tsunami.

However, I have only mastered some very simple and elementary meditation methods now. More profound meditation techniques may still require me to slowly find them through constant exploration.

When the third quarter of the game started, after several rounds of meditation, I suddenly felt a refreshing breath all over my body. Some kind of warm current flowed along my chest and blood to my whole body, an unprecedented feeling.

Power seems to have been poured into my body. I know that these are the benefits of meditation. It allows your brain to completely release your motor nerves.

In fact, a person's athletic ability not only depends on the degree of muscle development or the strength of certain meridians, but also depends on whether their motor nerves are developed, and the development of motor nerves sometimes requires external help.

It's stimulating, and sometimes it requires your own inner activation. What's incredible is that meditation can sometimes help people activate part of their body's motor nerves.

The first offense at the beginning of the third quarter was initiated by the Sixers. During the halftime break, head coach Silver Fox Harris had already changed the defenders of me and Van Exel. It was clear that

Let me guard Iverson, and let Van Exel guard Stackhouse, and he also emphasized one point, that is, when the two of us encounter pick-and-rolls, try not to switch defenses, but chase after each other.

To defend yourself, don't be too stingy with your physical fitness. Don't always think about saving your physical fitness for tomorrow's game. If you can't win today's game, how can you talk about tomorrow's game?

I quite agree with the statement of head coach Silver Fox Harris. After all, if we can't win today's game, wouldn't it be ridiculous to save our physical fitness until tomorrow? Even if we save our physical fitness, we will definitely be able to

Do you want to win tomorrow's game? The Boston Celtics' home court is never easy to play, let alone the second game of back-to-back games. We should focus on winning this game first.

On the other hand, head coach Silver Fox Harris also repeatedly reminded Shaq to pay attention to the number of fouls he committed. In the first half, he played less than ten minutes, and it even felt like he had already committed three fouls in less than eight minutes.

His absence has put our entire Lakers rotation in considerable trouble, especially without his powerful deterrent on both ends of the offense and defense. As a result, we were actually lagging behind at the end of the first half and were obviously not as strong as we were.

The Sixers scored as many as 12 points.

You must know that in this era, a 12-point point difference is no longer small. It is at least equivalent to a 15-point or even 16-point difference in the later NBA. If you are not careful, the distance will be destroyed in an instant.

It's not far to fall.

Morale on the basketball court is very important. Even if you are a strong team, but the momentum on the court is not on your side, it is very difficult for you to show your strength. And if you are in a period of rising momentum, even if you

Although your opponent is actually weaker than your opponent, you can still beat your opponent who is stronger than you. Competitive sports can be so interesting sometimes.

When your blood is boiling, you even feel like you can make every ball.

I now feel like my blood is accelerating all over my body. Maybe my blood is close to the edge of boiling. My state in the second half must be very scary. This feeling of confidence is so inexplicable sometimes, just like last time.

It was the same as the two consecutive long-range three-pointers I made during the half. There was no warning. I just followed my inner feeling. It told me that I should shoot, so I shot, and then the ball came out.

Once you get in, everything just goes so naturally.

Iverson is still the main ball-handler. I originally thought that he would not be so eager to participate in the offense in the first possession of the second half, but obviously the highlight performance in the first half gave Iverson a little confidence at this time.

It felt overwhelming. He obviously relaxed a lot when facing my defense, and it seemed that he no longer paid attention to my defense at all.

I was even more attentive, carefully observing and analyzing every dribble he made and every change in his eyes. But then I realized that Iverson was quite good at making fake changes in his eyes.

As a player, he knew that I judged his offensive direction by observing his eyes, so this guy did the opposite, deliberately exposed his eyes to me, and then conveyed some wrong information.

It makes it impossible for me to correctly judge his true offensive intentions.

I hadn't figured this out in the first half. It's no wonder that I was directly passed by him so many times when I defended him head-on. Even though I was so focused, I still didn't.

method to determine his correct offensive line.

However, after meditating during the halftime break, I can now say that I have completely figured out the problem. From now on, I will no longer look into Iverson's eyes when I am defending him.

If you don't look into his eyes, there is still no way to predict the direction of his breakthrough.

Then I simply won't predict the direction of his breakthrough. In short, the troops will block the water and the earth will cover it. Whatever tricks he wants to use, just let him go. I won't let myself make fearless defensive preparations, any preparations.

It's all nonsense in front of Iverson. I can only rely on my on-the-spot nerve reaction speed to defend Iverson. Although this is extremely difficult, it is also the only way I can think of now.

And Iverson didn't seem to want to use more meaningless offensive methods to beat me at this time. Maybe he also realized that it was impossible for him to easily get scoring opportunities under my tight defense.

It's a protracted battle.

As the feeling of blood boiling all over my body appeared, my competitive state and athletic ability improved a lot. At this time, Iverson could no longer break through me through simple dribbling and changing direction, so he began to seek

Teammate's pick and roll.

However, Iverson and his teammates on the Sixers are obviously not very good at pick-and-roll tactics. Every pick-and-roll cannot be blocked very tightly, so that I can actually keep up with him every time.

As a result, Iverson couldn't get rid of my defense after several pick-and-rolls, and the 24 seconds passed quickly. In the end, he could only barely shoot. In fact, Iverson's mid-to-long-range shooting ability was very good.

Generally speaking, compared with his inside breakthrough lethality, it's like heaven and earth.

And Iverson was not very willing to give up the offensive ball. Even though I had defended him twice in a row, he still held the ball very hard and rushed in the direction I was defending the third time. In the second half, I felt

When that heat flow existed, my athletic ability increased by several percent compared to usual. When I concentrated, I was barely able to guard Iverson head-on. After all, I still have some shortcomings in terms of height and wingspan.

It's a small advantage. As Iverson's physical energy is consumed, the power of breakthrough changes will definitely be lower than in the first half.

While guarding Iverson's singles, Shaq and I finally started to break out one after another. Shaq almost attacked one person, but let me attack another one. We both played in the same style, which was to attack the inside. I would

Start a pick-and-roll with Shaq in the high post, and then decide whether he or I will attack based on the opponent's defensive reaction.

Shaq and I's high pick-and-roll has always been a big weapon for our Lakers team. However, in the first half because Shaq committed too many fouls, this move was not used very much. After the beginning of the second half, the two of us started to use this move frequently.

, and then scored four goals in a row. In addition, I also scored two extra points through free throws. In less than three minutes, I beat the 76ers to a 10-2 counterattack peak, instantly overcoming our Lakers' deficit.

After catching up with 12 points, there are only 4 points left.

The head coach of the Sixers immediately called a timeout in order to stabilize the situation on the court. After all, with the strength of our Lakers team, if we cannot withstand our crazy attack in the third quarter, then this will

The game basically ends here.

During the timeout, Shaq started dancing and singing again. Maybe it was because he was too depressed in the first half, but now he started to squeak again after just a few balls.

I could only shake my head and watch Shaq start his performance.

The head coach of the Lakers, Silver Fox Harris, didn't say much. Generally, he has nothing to say when the team is in a favorable situation. In fact, the same is true for the game itself. The role of the head coach is actually more about the team.

When encountering difficulties and problems, he helps the team and players solve problems. He can lead a dog on the coaching bench when the wind is blowing, but only when the team needs him to give correct tactical guidance and encourage and drive the players out of difficulties.

Difficulties can truly show the value of coaching.

Just like for a superstar, his value is not just for scoring crazy points when the wind is going smoothly. His greatest value is that when the team faces difficulties, he can take the initiative to shoulder the heavy responsibility of the team and support other teammates to work hard.

Keep going, stand up at critical moments, and never give up in the face of powerful opponents and difficult situations.

Of course, it is very difficult to do this. Stars are also human beings, and not everyone is good at fighting and breaking out in adversity. In fact, relatively speaking, I think Shaq is the kind of player who is more suitable for playing downwind, and Kobe

He is a player who is better at playing against the wind, so why the two of them are a perfect match together? Because their personalities are very different, and they can really complement each other on the court, allowing the Lakers to play against the wind or against the wind.

Everyone can rely on them.

It can be said that Shaq is the cornerstone of the Lakers, which determines that the lower limit of this team will not be too bad, while Kobe is the upper limit of this Lakers team, which determines how high its real ceiling is, because in the playoffs

When facing extremely powerful opponents, Shaq often hits the ball with the wind harder and harder, but when faced with the ball with the wind, his condition will decline due to depression.

This is also the reason why Shaq's career in the time and space of my previous life was swept by opponents so many times in the playoffs, because even though he was invincible, once he encountered someone who was equally or even slightly stronger than him,

Opponent, his desire to survive and his fighting spirit are so different that he would even think about it when facing headwinds.

In order to escape or even end the pain by losing the ball early, it is precisely because of this that Shaq is not a qualified boss, because his character is not suitable for being a boss. The boss needs to pay and sacrifice a lot for the team.

Especially when it comes to carrying the team forward in adversity. From this point of view, Iverson is more suitable to be the boss than Shaq.

Of course, this may also be the fundamental reason why Kobe had such a big conflict with Shaq after he grew up, because although Shaq is not suitable to be the boss, he has indeed been the boss for so many years. He can't

Tolerating a newcomer like Kobe to surpass him and ride on his head to pull SI, so he would rather leave the Lakers.

So in the time and space of my previous life, was it really Kobe who forced Shaq away?

It can be said that it is both yes and no, because it was not Kobe who really forced Shaq away, but Shaq's own character. In fact, the most similar thing between Shaq's character and Kobe's was that kind of arrogance, that kind of self-centered arrogance.

And how can it be possible for two guys with such opposite yet unified personalities to exist in the same team as the boss at the same time?

Just like how could an ancient country allow two kings to exist at the same time, so from this perspective, the parting of ways between Shaq and Kobe is almost inevitable, unless one of them learns to sacrifice, just like LeBron James and LeBron James

It's the same with Wade. If Wade doesn't know how to sacrifice for LeBron, then they won't be able to make a comeback immediately after experiencing the failure in 2011. Someone in a team always has to make sacrifices.

Now that I am reborn as Kobe, I must also face such a difficult choice. When my strength and status have not reached the point where I can threaten Shaq, the two of us may be able to coexist peacefully for a long time, but as I

With the rapid increase in our strength and influence in the league, the conflict between Shaq and I will one day break out.

I still have time to think about this matter, but I don’t want to think about it more deeply. As the saying goes, when a boat reaches the bridge, it will be straight, and when a car reaches the mountain, there will be a road. No matter what the future holds, I will

You have to take each step step by step.

After returning from the timeout, the Sixers seemed to have finally changed their game rhythm and wanted to rely more on the overall performance of the team instead of just relying on Iverson's individual singles.

Their idea is correct, but it is quite difficult to implement it. The reason is actually very simple. A team that has been accustomed to individual stars must suddenly change to using tactics to cooperate with the whole team.

For an offensive team, this is very difficult. Even with so many stars like our Lakers team and a head coach who knows very well about tactical arrangements, it is difficult to achieve good tactical coordination.

Because relying on star players to play in isolation is addictive. This is a very simple way to solve problems. Just like LeBron in the Cavaliers 2.0 period, Tyronn Lue's move to hand the ball to LeBron is almost the core of the entire tactic.

, and the triangle offense of the Chicago Bulls actually has a very simple logic. It only took Rodman a few minutes to understand it, that is, just give the ball to Michael.

But here LeBron James is a powerful presence with his own system, and Michael Jordan is the starting point of the player who is most suitable for the triangle offense, so they can succeed. However, the Sixers are built around Iverson's singles.

It is a tactical system, so once Iverson's singles is left out, this Sixers team actually has no more tactics to support it.

I shook my head slightly, and I almost knew in my mind what the next course of this game would be like. This is a kind of intuition, an intuition that you can get by observing and analyzing the form on the field.

It's not difficult, but it's not easy either.

Sure enough, the Sixers did not get the results they wanted after changing their tactics, and the entire team's offensive efficiency did not improve further. However, if they did not change, they would continue to let Iverson alone.

In singles, the result won't be much better. Even if Iverson is exhausted, there is no way he can beat our Lakers.

After all, this is the gap in the overall strength of the two teams. It cannot be changed simply by tactical changes or someone's tenacious personal willpower. There are very few heroes in this world. The reason why heroes are so valuable is because

It is very difficult to become a hero. If heroes appear every day, then heroes will be worthless.

Our Lakers team stepped up their overall defensive intensity after entering the second half. On the contrary, the Sixers' offense was not going well, so they became a little distracted and unfocused on defense. They had no way to pass.

What a threat the defense poses to our Lakers team. Now that the offense has stopped again, the entire team is in a huge dilemma.

Before the timeout, our Lakers had a small climax of 10 to 2, and after the timeout, our Lakers had a bigger offensive climax of 13 to 3, which suddenly allowed our Lakers to overtake the score.

The lead was extended to 6 points, and all the Sixers players on the field suddenly seemed a little depressed.

We, the Lakers, have no intention of showing mercy at all. After all, our plan from the beginning of this game is to defeat the Sixers as quickly as possible, and then enter garbage time early, so as to win more for our main players.

rest time to prepare for tomorrow's back-to-back away game against the Boston Celtics at the North Shore Garden Arena.

By the time more than half of the third quarter passed, our Lakers' lead had expanded to 12 points, which meant that during most of the quarter, our Lakers had scored 24 points more than the Sixers.

Much, this is a very scary thing, but such crazy pursuit of points and very surprising counterattacks are not uncommon in our Lakers games this season. We have done this in many previous games.

This situation happened, which fully illustrates how terrifying the scoring explosion of our Lakers team is.

It's a pity that this kind of explosive power can only last for a period of time. If we play like this for the whole game, I'm afraid our players will be exhausted. At least I feel that I have a little bit of power after I exploded with all my strength for most of the quarter.

Tired, after all, I scored 12 points by myself in most of the quarter. Including the score in the first half, the total score has exceeded 20 points, even close to 25 points.

The head coach of the Sixers called a timeout again at this time. After this timeout, both sides should put on substitute players to play for a while. I believe that with the depth of our Lakers' current substitute players, it is unlikely that this team will be able to play.

The Sixers' substitute players caught up with the score.

After the timeout, Eddie Jones and Byron Scott led three other substitutes. The Sixers also replaced three substitutes, but they did not replace Iverson and Stackhouse.

Si went off the court, and it seemed that the opponent really didn't intend to give up on this game. Sure enough, if the point difference is not big enough, there is no way to enter garbage time early.

I shook my head, thinking that if we had not been so stretched in the first half and were still 12 points behind at halftime, and if we had already beaten the Sixers by nearly 30 points, then the situation might be completely different.

Yes, but there are no ifs in the game.

Iverson was immediately activated when facing Byron Scott's defense. In the previous quarter, he only made 1 of 5 shots and scored 2 points. He scored consecutively in just three rounds.

Scored 8 points, including three layups and two 2-plus-1 free throws, which suddenly broke out our Lakers inside line. Although Eddie Jones made a timely 3-pointer to suppress the 76

The Lakers' counterattack momentum is strong, but our Lakers' lead is only 7 points at this time. Judging from Iverson's scoring speed, I'm afraid it won't be possible to regain it in just two or three rounds.

Seeing that the momentum on the court was not right, with less than 3 minutes left in the third quarter, head coach Silver Fox Harris had no choice but to call a timeout. His eyes looked a little unkind, but maybe it was to take care of Scott.

Out of dignity as a veteran, I resisted saying anything like FK, but Scott's expression was already quite ugly. I didn't want to say anything. Shaq and Scott had a good relationship, and of course they didn't.

What will he say to him?

This pause ended in a rather strange atmosphere. I don't know what Silver Fox Harris said during this short pause. My energy has been completely taken away by other things.

But soon I allowed myself to turn my attention back to the game. I knew that I couldn’t let things off the field interfere with my concentration in the game. No matter how important things were, they had to be in the game.

You should think about it after it’s over.

The timeout ended quickly, because there was not much time left before the end of the third quarter, so head coach Silver Fox Harris did not make additional adjustments to the lineup on the field, and the Sixers also made no personnel adjustments.

.

In the next three minutes, our Lakers players maintained a strong fighting spirit and worked very hard both on the offensive and defensive ends. However, it was a pity that they failed to grasp several very good open three-point shots.

Instead, the Sixers players grabbed long-distance rebounds and quickly launched a fast break. Under the leadership of Iverson, their fast break rhythm was extremely fast, even though they only had Iverson in the lineup.

and Stackhouse have good scoring ability, but their two substitute players have good athletic ability and can quickly run to the frontcourt. When our Lakers players on the court want to double-team in advance,

When blocking Iverson, these guys were very smart and rushed directly into our Lakers penalty area.

Iverson's passing level is not to mention how top-notch, but as long as he wants to pass the ball well, he is definitely better than most players in the league. Iverson has been quite timely in these fast breaks.

When faced with a double team, he distributed the ball to his teammate who was cutting inside, thereby easily scoring.

Under this ebb and flow, the point difference between our Lakers and the Sixers was only 2 points at the end of the third quarter. I don’t know what to say about this. From the attitude of the game on the court,

There are no problems with the Lakers players at all. The main reason is that their personal abilities and luck are a little bit worse.

No matter what, Iverson works hard early, so his physical fitness will not be as good in the fourth quarter. That's when Shaq and I work hard to finish the game.
