Chapter 276

"Towards the best regular season record in history, let's set off!"

Give the players a big mouthful of chicken soup, which is what Coach Cheeks does.

The Philadelphia 76ers, who are united as one, started their devil's schedule, starting with the challenge of the Cavaliers.

LeBron James finally ushered in his best helper in the Cavaliers, Mo Williams, after many years of shouting at the management team. A lot of pressure, coupled with the fact that James started to fire early in order to prove himself, the Cavaliers currently have a very high winning percentage, and even once suppressed the Celtics, ranking second in the Eastern Conference.

James must be dissatisfied with the second in the East, so at the beginning of December, he led his Cavaliers from afar, wanting to compete with the leader in the East.

The battle for the throne between the boss and the second, and the little emperor challenging the cash cow, this game will undoubtedly become the finale of the night.

At the beginning of the game, James rushed to the inside with all his strength, but he forgot that the Philadelphia team's current inside center is Yao Ming.

After blocking Battier, James broke into the penalty area, and then he had no choice but to hit the iron under the interference of Yao Ming. The Philadelphia team protected the rebound, and Channing took the lead in a quick counterattack and performed a wonderful dunk.

After regaining his senses, James stopped his head and started to call the inside pick-and-roll. After Yao Ming was pulled out, James finally got his wish and scored a breakthrough layup.

Although Dayao is losing weight, his flexibility and mobility cannot follow James' footsteps from the outside. Coach Cheeks saw that the situation was not good, and immediately made defensive adjustments.

Cheeks let Yao Ming not have to follow out, just squat and guard the basket. As long as he is not called to defend for three seconds, he can stay in the basket as much as he wants. Protect Yao Ming.

Under such a defensive arrangement, it was very difficult for James to make a breakthrough every time. He could only choose to distribute the ball to his teammates. Gibson and Mo Buchuan seized the opportunity and frequently hit three-pointers from the outside, allowing the Cavaliers to bite the score.

When Yao Ming rested, James finally found his chance and started a tank breakthrough. With Battier on his body, James went straight to the basket, facing Ibaka's supplementary defense, and scored 2+1.

At halftime, with James' outstanding performance, the Cavaliers led by 7 points.

Entering the third quarter, Channing opened fire. With the help of Dayao's on-line pick-and-roll, Channing continuously penetrated the inside of the Cavaliers, and even staged dunks that went straight to the basket many times. Although James felt hot and couldn't defend, the Cavaliers There was also nothing he could do about the runaway Channing, and the Philadelphia team gradually equalized the score.

In the decisive stage of the final quarter, both sides intensified their defensive strength by coincidence, and their actions also increased. The referee's whistle blew frequently, and the two leading stars, Channing and James, also started to face each other directly with a tacit understanding.

As soon as the two played against each other, Channing came up with a three-pointer. Relying on his height and wingspan advantage, he hit a three-pointer directly above James' head.

After James responded with a crabbed jumper, the game entered a fever.

After a whole night of fierce fighting, both of them were a little tired. After several consecutive waves of offense and defense, neither of them succeeded in scoring.

At the critical moment, another superstar of the Philadelphia team stepped forward.

Like most of the games before, Yao Ming only played less than 30 minutes tonight. In the last 5 minutes, Yao Ming still had enough physical strength to play singles.

Crushed dunks, one-handed dunks on the frontcourt rebounds, resisting the small hooks of others, Yao Ming led the team to play a wave of small superb, the game entered the last minute, James began to shoot crazy three-pointers out of desperation, Three good irons were contributed in a very short period of time, and the game lost its suspense.

After struggling for a full 45 minutes, it was hard to escape the end of failure. James sat alone on the sidelines, his face full of loneliness. Looking at Yao Ming and Channing celebrating happily, James once again realized that two fists are no match for four hands. Lonely.

Scanning a circle of his teammates, James was once again worried about the future of the Cavaliers.

After a day off, the Philadelphia 76ers embarked on a three-game road trip.

The Denver Nuggets basically failed to pose any threat to Philadelphia. Yao Ming crushed Nene and Kenyon Martin on the inside, and Channing blocked Anthony on the outside. cast.

But this is also something that can’t be helped. The answer is that the conflict between Iverson and the Nuggets’ management is already on the surface. Sent away, the Detroit Pistons expressed interest at the time, but unfortunately, the Nuggets' team manager was a little greedy at the time, wanting to see if other teams had better bargaining chips.

As a result, after such a delay, the Pistons turned around and added Billups to the trade between Philadelphia and Houston. Yao Ming, Iguodala, and Billups changed their clubs in circles. Next, the Nuggets stood alone in the cold wind and continued to sell, but there was no buyer.

After learning that he was put on the shelf, although Iverson did not lose his temper, he could also feel that the upper echelon of the team was very dissatisfied with him, and even had a hostile attitude.

The future of the second leader is vacillating, and the mentality of the leader Anthony has also been affected. The entire Nuggets team seems to be stuck in a quagmire, unable to find the right path.

"Actually, Iverson's current strength is still very strong, a proper All-Star level."

After Channing defeated the Nuggets, he once again moved his idol Iverson to play together.

Although Iverson is old, his legs are slow, and his best trick, Crossover, is basically no longer used, but Iverson's seasoned experience, accurate mid-range shooting, and good scoring ability are definitely still at the league's first-tier level.

Coincidentally, the Philadelphia team currently lacks a tough point guard, especially Iverson, who is capable enough and has rich experience in the playoffs and even the finals. The veteran who is extremely eager for the championship ring, if he joins the team, he can make up for the shortcomings of Kyle Lowry and Dragic.

"How to trade Iverson?"

Channing began to figure out that it is a well-known fact that the Nuggets do not want to keep Iverson, but even if Dragic + draft picks and other cheap chips can be used in exchange for the answer, Iverson's $2000 million contract It's also a loss.

Although there is only one year left and the Philadelphia team has enough salary space to support it, Channing still feels a little bit distressed about money.

"Pay a high price of 2000 million US dollars, get the right to use Iverson for one year, form the Big Three in Philadelphia, and then have the championship in your hands?"
