On May 6, 2001, US time, the 76ers played against the Raptors, who flew from Toronto, Canada.

Philadelphia, the First Alliance Center was packed with people again!

Nearly 20,000 seats were filled, and the fans were packed.

Due to Allen's outstanding performance, the ticket price of the stadium has been rising again and again.

But even so, it is still hard to get a ticket.

Stephen Curry's family sat in the first row of the sidelines, excited.

In the middle of the court, players from both sides were doing warm-up shooting exercises.

On the sidelines commentary stand, Charles Barkley and Kenny Smith were talking nonstop.

Smith:"Charles, this is your first time to watch Allen's game on the sidelines. Are you excited?"

Barkley:"Excited! The main reason is that today I can see Allen's three-point performance and appreciate Carter's violent aesthetics. How can I not be excited?"

Under the anticipation of countless fans.

The game officially began.

76ers starting lineup:

Point guard (PG) Allen Iverson, shooting guard (SG) Aaron McGee, small forward (SF) Allen, power forward (PF) Tyronn Hill, center (C) Dikembe Mutombo.

Raptors starting lineup:

Point guard (PG) Alvin Williams, shooting guard (SG) Dell Curry, small forward (SF) Vince Carter, power forward (PF) Charles Oakley, center(C)Antonio Davis.

Beep!

The players from both teams took their positions.

Mutombo and Davis were in the middle circle preparing for a jump ball.

The referee threw the ball high up.

""Pah!"

Davis, who was nearly a centimeter shorter, failed to jump over Mutombo.

Mutombo easily hit the ball back to the backcourt.

After receiving the basketball, Iverson immediately took a step and attacked the frontcourt, hoping to catch the opponent off guard with his quick start and his own speed.

Carter's keen sense of smell stopped him at the first time, delaying the opportunity for this fast break.

Williams, the point guard of the Raptors, also followed Iverson. He was in a double-team situation.

At this time, Allen left a space at the top of the arc.

Iverson saw the opportunity and passed it to Allen.

Allen took the ball and shot.

Swish!

A simple three-pointer went into the net.

3 to 0.

Looking back, the Raptors attacked.

Vince Carter directly asked for the ball and dribbled at the top of the arc.

Williams and Curry stood in the bottom corners on each side, pulling the 76ers' outside defense.

Opening up for a singles game!

Carter continued to dribble between his legs to test, while spraying trash talk to Allen:

"Are you the human-shaped Barrett that they hype up?"

"A bit accurate"

"I just don't know if your gun is jamming or not."

Alan replied unyieldingly:

"I don't know if it's stuck or not."

"I just want to know that after tonight, the fans will redefine me!"

Taking advantage of the trash talk to distract attention, Carter rushed to Allen's right.

At this time, after Allen had a super-large-scale defense, his defense had undergone a qualitative change.

He was no longer someone who could be easily shaken off.

Unable to shake off Allen, Carter had to force a breakthrough.

The two bodies collided violently.

Bang!

Allen found the right opportunity and slammed the basketball.

Iverson, who was waiting for the opportunity, exerted force on his calf, ran quickly, and stole the basketball.

Allen also ran quickly towards the basket, saying as he ran:

"Iverson! Alley-oop!"

Carter came back to his senses instantly, accelerated as fast as he could, and followed behind Allen.

Iverson was a little confused. He wanted to slow down and pass the ball to Allen for a three-pointer.

Aerial relay?

No three-pointer?

Without thinking too much, Iverson, who ran into the three-point line first, threw the ball lightly into the air.

This move shocked the commentator on the sidelines.

Barkley:"Such a casual layup?"

No!

With this angle and this strength, it's not aimed at the basket at all.

Could it be?

The next moment.

Allen's figure appeared in front of him.

Allen ran quickly, jumped high two steps inside the free throw line, and took the basketball.

Duang!

Tomahawk dunk!

Barkley stood up in shock and said incoherently:

"Wow! One-handed slam dunk after an aerial relay!!"

"Is this still Alan?!"

"He didn't shoot a three-pointer?!"

The fans on the sidelines also jumped up from the bench and cheered!

This is a brand new Allen!

Allen fell heavily, and due to inertia, his body happened to collide with Carter slowly.

Taking the opportunity, he whispered in Carter's ear:

"Don't think you're great at dunking."

""I can do what you can do, and I can do what you can't do!"

Carter stood there holding the ball, thinking about the meaning of Allen's words.

Didn't he say that he didn't have a three-pointer?

Allen could both shoot and dunk? He was immediately furious.

The ball was transferred again, and the Raptors served.

Carter asked for the ball again and dribbled across half court.

While dribbling, he was brewing a plan in his mind.

At this time, Kenny Smith pulled Barkley, who had stood up, to sit down, and while recalling, he calmly explained:

"An alley-oop slam dunk! Is there a possibility?"

"Allen is proving to the fans that"

"Dunking is also easy!"

"I just don’t think about it normally!"
