76ers era·peak (00-01)

Before the start of the 2000-01 season, Iverson changed his habit of being late for training in order to encourage morale and determined to lead the 76ers to a higher level. Coach Brown also made a bold attempt to bring the 76ers to the next level.

The 76ers started the season with ten consecutive victories and entered the end of the season as the top seed in the Eastern Conference.

He won the Western Conference All-Star Game, and Iverson was also selected as the All-Star Game mvp. A classic scene occurred in this All-Star Game: When Iverson took the stage to accept the award, he kept asking people around him where Coach Brown was.

He also gave a speech, saying that this MVP award was dedicated to Coach Brown, and referred to him as his family, friends and teammates. The scene was warm. In this year's playoffs, the 76ers faced the Indiana Pacers for the third time in the first round.

But this time the 76ers finally succeeded in defeating the opponent. Entering the second round, the 76ers had to face the Toronto Raptors with Vince Carter, so this series became a duel between two superstars. Iverson in this series

He performed extremely well in the game, scoring 54 and 52 points in the second and fifth games respectively, becoming the second player after Michael Jordan to score more than 50 points in two games in the playoffs. And in the decisive game

It is one of the classic scenes in the Finals. Iverson scored 48 points in this game and scored 7 points in the last minute of overtime, allowing the 76ers to win the first game. However, due to the inability to stop the Lakers' Shaquille

O'Neal wreaked havoc in the penalty area, and the 76ers subsequently ended the finals with four consecutive losses, failing to bring a perfect end to the season.

76ers period·late period (02-06)

In the later period of Iverson's tenure with the 76ers, the team failed to continue its strength. Although Iverson's personal data was still impressive, the team's performance regressed year after year. In the 2001-02 season, Iverson once again won the scoring title and won the championship.

He was selected to the second team of the year, but the 76ers were eliminated in the first round of the playoffs. At the same time, Iverson's absence from team training once again aroused strong dissatisfaction from Larry Brown, and the relationship between the two deteriorated again, leading to Larry Brown's death in 2003

After the season ended, he was transferred to the head coach of the Detroit Pistons. In the 2002-03 season, he broke through the first round of the playoffs. Iverson scored 55 points in the first game of this series, setting a personal playoff high of 76 players.

Meeting the Detroit Pistons in the second round, the 76ers finally lost to the Pistons. The following season, Iverson missed half the season due to injury, and the 76ers, who lacked Iverson, also failed to enter the playoffs.

For the first time in the year. In the 2004-05 season, the 76ers team management saw dismal results and introduced Chris Webber to assist Iverson. Unfortunately, this famous power forward was already in the late stages of his career and could not

It gave Iverson too much help. But Iverson's statistics this season are very outstanding, averaging 30.7 points, 4.0 baskets, 7.9 assists, 2.4 steals and 0.1 blocks per game. In addition to picking up his fourth

In addition to winning the scoring title and being selected to the first team of the year for the third time, he also became the first player in NBA history to rank among the top five in scoring, assists and steals. Iverson also won the All-Star Game for the second time.

mvp. But unfortunately, the 76ers once again lost to the Detroit Pistons, led by Larry Brown, in the playoffs. In the following year, Iverson's personal scoring average reached a new high of 33 points per game, but the 76ers were unable to enter the season.

After the game, the 76ers team management saw that the team had not achieved a breakthrough for a long time, and Iverson also had conflicts with the team management, so on December 20, 2006, he was sent to the Denver Nuggets in exchange for

Andre Miller, Joe Smith and two first-round draft picks ended Iverson's ten-year career with the 76ers.

Nuggets Era (2006-2008)

Iverson and Anthony

Since the Nuggets had another good scorer in Carmelo Anthony, when Iverson was traded to the Nuggets, he originally thought he could end his many years of singles career. However, there were many main players in the team at the time (including

(including Carmelo Anthony) was suspended due to a violent incident on the court, so Iverson's singles career had to continue for more than ten games. In these more than ten games, Iverson led a group of reserve lineups to help the Nuggets.

In the game, they achieved a winning rate of about 50%. This result is quite good for a team mainly composed of reserves. Iverson also scored more than 40 points in several games, helping the Nuggets win the game.

Later, many main players returned, but the Nuggets' results did not see a big breakthrough. This was mainly because the chemistry between Iverson and Anthony was not well presented. In order to accommodate each other, they also deliberately reduced the number of players.

The number of shots they took caused the average points per game of both players to drop. However, at the end of the season, the Nuggets ended the regular season with eight consecutive victories and entered the playoffs. However, they encountered a defeat in the first round.

The champion San Antonio Spurs were eliminated by the opponent. Although they were eliminated in the playoffs, Iverson has successfully integrated into the team. He and Anthony can also step forward when the opponent is inaccurate and shoulder the heavy responsibility of scoring.

In the 2007-08 season, although the Nuggets' winning rate has remained above 60%, such results have been questioned by the outside world. Looking at the Nuggets' lineup, there are two leading scorers in Iverson and Anthony on the outside, as well as on the inside.

The best defensive player Marcus Camby and the No. 1 pick in the draft Kenyon Martin. And a number of role players such as J.R. Smith and Linas Kresa, who is currently improving, are also of a certain level, which can really be said.

It is a luxurious lineup, so the outside world thinks that this result is inconsistent with the Nuggets' lineup. Many fans attribute the responsibility to head coach George Karl, believing that his coaching style that advocates offense and does not focus on defense is the reason for the Nuggets' unsatisfactory record.

The main reason is that Iverson was ranked fifth in the selection of the best shooting guards in history conducted by ESPN this season, and was the only active player in the top ten besides Kobe Bryant (ranked second).

Pistons era (2008-2009)

His performance was still eye-catching, and he defeated the Lakers, who were undefeated for 11 consecutive games at the start of the season. However, because his playing style was completely at odds with the Pistons, who emphasized teamwork, the team's record gradually dropped from fourth to fifth in the Eastern Conference.

Went to 7th and 8th. Then in February, there was the first 8-game losing streak since the 1994-1995 season. In the 8th defeat, Iverson also left the field early due to a back injury, but the magic was that he

After not playing, the Pistons defeated the Magic, which ranked third in the Eastern Conference, ending their 8-game losing streak, and defeated the Celtics, who ranked second in the Eastern Conference, and the Nuggets, who ranked third in the Western Conference, in the following games.

Iverson became the sixth man, which also made him very unhappy. In the last month of the regular season, Iverson took an early summer vacation due to a recurrence of his back injury. The Pistons entered the playoffs as the eighth seed in the Eastern Conference.

In the first round, they were swept home by the Cavaliers 4-0. On the other hand, Billups' Nuggets broke through the first round curse and went all the way to the Western Conference Championship before being defeated by the Lakers.

They are ready to go and be victors."

But the Memphis Grizzlies were only willing to let him be a substitute player, which went against Iverson's wish to be a starter, so the Grizzlies released him. Afterwards, it was reported that he would join the Knicks, but later the Knicks
