From today on is the king

Chapter 516 515. Counterpoint Answer
The excitement passed, and the pressure of the game immediately hit.

Looking at Iverson on the opposite side, Liu Mang should not be under too much pressure. He must face Iverson at the beginning of the game.

As far as Liu Mang remembers, Iverson was still at the peak of his personal ability until he was traded to the Nuggets in the 06-07 season. Before leaving the 76ers, Iverson still maintained the second-best scoring ability in the league, and it wasn’t that his personal scoring ability fell to second in the league. He averaged 31 points per game in the half season before being traded. He averaged 33 points per game last season, but he didn’t win the scoring title because a monster who averaged 35 points per game was released by O’Neal.

Looking at Iverson’s career trajectory, he is similar to Kobe. As long as he has good teammates, he can lead the team to achieve good results. In the first full season with Anthony, he scored 50 wins and 32 losses. With teammates and a group of powerful role players, Kobe and Iverson directly faced Kobe and defeated their opponents with a sense of déjà vu.

In fact, Iverson was quite unlucky. Iverson was almost 08 when he played in the playoffs in 33, and he had already passed his peak, while Kobe was less than 30, which was the year of his peak. Moreover, a 183 point guard like Iverson can keep his peak tail until he is 33. It is also very strong.

And as far as this season is concerned, Iverson is not playing badly!
Including this game against the Eagles, there are still 8 games left, and they have a record of 44 wins and 30 losses, and there is still the possibility of hitting 50 wins.

Averaged 27 points, 4 rebounds and 7.9 assists per game. When Liu Mang saw Iverson's data before, he couldn't recognize it as Iverson's data.

Liu Mang looked at Iverson's ability evaluation.

"Allen Iverson, ability value 95, offense 99, defense 75, three-pointer 65, mid-range shooting 86, layup 85, speed 97, strength 76, passing 80..."

It is still so strong, which confirms Liu Mang's judgment. Although Iverson's record in the last few years of the 76ers was not as good as the previous year, his personal performance has never been a problem.

Just like this year, with fewer shots and more passes, the scoring has declined, but the shooting percentage and assists have increased significantly.

……

The final warm-up time before the game is coming to an end, and the starting players of the two teams are on the stage.

Although Prince looks like that, the nickname of the little prince is still given to him. There is no way, the name has a lot of advantages, so I call myself "Prince", and he is the youngest in the starting lineup, the one with the best strength. It is not appropriate to call him a prince directly, so I added a young, young prince, translated into Chinese, and he became the little prince directly.

The little prince is now the darling of the Atlanta fans. The uncles and aunts who danced and sat near the basket, and even many young people rushed to learn moves from him, so as not to lose the wind in the dance competition for the square.

Regardless of whether it is the United States or China, the square is a battleground for grandpas and aunts!Moreover, with young people joining in, the competition in the square is quite fierce. In just a few months, there have been several dance competitions.

As the number one disciple of the patriarch of NBA court dance, the little prince has become the new darling of the square in Atlanta.

Raheem continues to smoke chalk, Muhammad strikes a pose, and Ratliff is yelling.

Liu Mang took off his training clothes and came to the technical stage, avoiding the smoke from Raheem, and put some chalk on his hands. Boozer followed behind Liu Mang. After wiping off the chalk, Liu Mang punched Boozer in the chest again, and then hugged. The opening action was so coquettish.

The preparation time before the game was over, and the two teams started their debut.

For the Eagles, Liu Mang, Prince, Rahim, Mohammed, and Ratliff's starting lineup has been officially confirmed.

For the 76ers, Iverson returned to the point guard position!

Iverson partnered in the backcourt with tall shooting guard and last-round first-round pick John Samuels, traded from the Spurs early in the season.

There have also been changes in the frontcourt. Coleman was put on the bench, and Kenny Thomas, Van Horn, and McCloch started as partners.

After playing and before the jump ball, Liu Mang and Raheem exchanged glances, and now there was a very important matter before their eyes.

Who is going to say hello to the opponent?

If it was in the past, even if Liu Mang played the starting lineup occasionally, Raheem would be the best candidate to greet his opponent as a face, not to mention that today's opponent is Iverson who is in the same class as him.

However, the team's attitude of wanting to strengthen Liu Mang and focus on training Liu Mang has been shown. Raheem has never been a person who cares about this aspect, so he wants Liu Mang to go. Of course, Liu Mang also wants to take care of the boss's face and wants Raheem to go.

Yo!
Liu Mang and Rahim looked at each other again, Liu Mang's face was solemn, this was the first time for the young master to start, and there was a disagreement!

When the Eagles encountered disagreements within the team, if it was a matter related to the game, Liu Mang often had the final say, but for other things, international practices were used.

Since it is customary to greet opponents before a game, the referee will wait for dozens of seconds. After all, the NBA is a commercial league. Fans like to watch this, so the league has to continue this practice. Moreover, it is very ritualistic.

But no one from the Eagles came out to say hello to the opponent today. The referee thought that they had encountered a situation where the two teams were sworn enemies again, because the Eagles were likely to play against the 76ers in the second round, so it was possible not to say hello.

But at this time, Liu Mang and Rahim suddenly walked in with fierce expressions, and walked faster and faster.

The referee who was looking at the Eagles suddenly felt a sudden, isn't it, these two are teammates, are they going to fight?Judging by the expressions of the two of them, it is very possible!

Not only the referee felt that something was wrong, but the 76ers players were also a little at a loss. When the game is about to start, is there any internal strife in the Eagles?Should I be happy or should I be happy?

The fans at the scene were also scared, what is this?Sudden internal strife in your own team?please do not!
At this time, it was too late for the referee to rush up to fight, so he could only watch helplessly as the two rushed together. Just when the referee felt that something was going to happen again, the two suddenly stopped suddenly and stretched out their right hands at the same time.

"rock-paper-scissors!"

"Crack..." Liu Mang produced stones, and Rahim produced cloth!

Liu Mang felt that the so-called punching strategy was a lie!He never won a punch!
But since this is the case, it is better to greet the opponent as the face of the team.

While everyone was dumbfounded, Liu Mang ran over to give the 76ers starters a high-five. The 76ers players were stunned. What the hell is this?

Co-authoring such a big movement is just a punch?

This is the new opening ceremony?
The referee couldn't help covering his head. Sure enough, the ominous premonition when he was drawn to whistle the Eagles' game was confirmed before the game even started. The Eagles are poisonous!
Only the Eagles' own team members are not worried about the scene just now, it's just a routine operation...

After Iverson and Liu Mang finished high-fiving, they found that their originally focused mind became a little slack because of Liu Mang and Raheem's operation!Iverson immediately became vigilant, glanced at Liu Mang who had returned to the backcourt, and cursed secretly that this little bastard is still so despicable!How to distract them in this way!

Iverson clapped his hands: "Cheer up, don't be fooled by that kid! He's distracting us!"

Reminded by Iverson, the 76ers starters immediately realized that the opponent was deliberately distracting them!How despicable!

The referee regained his attention, blew his whistle, and the ball jumped!
Ratliff overwhelmed McCloch to win the jump ball, and the Eagles went first.

Liu Mang stared at Ratliff's jump ball. The moment Ratliff touched the ball first, Liu Mang jumped out and intercepted the ball in the air. After landing, he rushed forward, trying to catch the 76ers by surprise.

Unfortunately, the 76ers reacted very quickly. After losing the jump ball, the four quickly returned to defense, guarding against Liu Mang's speed.

The lightning attack was unsuccessful, Liu Mang did not slow down his speed, and rushed towards the three-point line.

Iverson immediately defended, Liu Mang sprinted towards the right side of Iverson, Iverson took small steps, and when Liu Mang rushed to the three-point line, Iverson immediately stepped up.

Iverson's oppressive top defense ability at the peak of his physical fitness is very good, and his prediction is very good. If it was Liu Mang before the All-Star Weekend, the ball was really blocked by Iverson and forced to fall into a positional battle.

but!

This time Liu Mang slapped the ball hard with his right hand before Iverson's prediction was in place and was about to hit him. The ball bounced high and hit Liu Mang's chest!Liu Mang raised both hands to his chest!
Iverson saw Liu Mang hitting the ball hard and knew that Liu Mang was going to change direction, but because of Iverson's early prediction, even if Liu Mang changed direction, Iverson was not afraid, his speed and ability to change direction were stronger!
However, Iverson saw that Liu Mang's shots all bounced to his chest!
There is no such thing as dribbling over the shoulder in basketball, and there has never been a rule for dribbling over the shoulder, but the ball bounces too high, and it is likely to turn the wrist when dribbling.

When Iverson saw that Liu Mang’s shot bounced to his chest, Iverson suddenly lost his judgment on Liu Mang’s change of direction, especially when Liu Mang raised both hands to his chest. Iverson completely lost his judgment, but he had to make a prediction first. Subconsciously, Iverson rushed to the right side. He knew that Liu Mang’s attack was mainly on the right side, but he was so suspicious. Iverson felt that Liu Mang would definitely make a change at this time.

but!

Liu Mang still chose to break through on the right this time!When Iverson suspiciously bet that Liu Mang would break through from an unused direction, Liu Mang also predicted Iverson's prediction, pressed the ball with his left hand on his chest, and went straight to the inside!
At this time, McCloch had just stepped into the three-point line from the top arc, and there was only one Van Horn under the basket. Seeing Liu Mang rushing in, Van Horn stepped aside decisively.

Liu Mang started the game with a beautiful breakthrough dunk for the Eagles to take the lead!
