May 11, 2001, US time.

Canada Airline Center, Toronto, Canada.

Tonight, the 76ers will host the third game of the playoffs against the Raptors.

Less than an hour before the game, Iverson led the team to the arena for pre-game training to find the feel.

Of course, head coach Larry Brown and Allen were still on the way.

A group of Raptors had already arrived at the arena in advance to train.

Curry kept shooting three-pointers under the feed of the assistant coach.

Carter was doing confrontation training with Williams, swipe! swipe!.

Fans wearing Raptors jerseys also walked into the stadium one after another.

The audience seats, which were originally scattered with spectators, were suddenly crowded!

Among them were many fans of Allen.

The whole audience shouted the name of the Raptors, full of momentum!

Allen Iverson couldn't help but sigh when he saw this.

The home atmosphere is so strong!

Allen and head coach Larry Brown walked out of the player tunnel and started training.

Gradually, other staff members followed in.

Barkley and Smith sat in the commentary seat, and the referees came on stage to check the equipment.

After a while

"beep~!"

The opening whistle sounded.

The DJ introduced the 76ers players, and the sidelines booed!

This is the first problem that the players have to face when playing away.

After introducing the 76ers players, the Raptors players were introduced passionately.

"Vince Carter~!"

Finally, as the name of the Raptors' star player sounded, all the fans on the sidelines stood up and cheered.

They all hoped that Carter could bring them their first victory tonight!

The game began.

Raptors starting lineup: PG Chris Charles, SG Alvin Williams, SF Vince Carter, PF Charles Oakley, C Antonio Davis. 76ers starting lineup: PG Allen Iverson, SG Allen, SF George Lynch, PF Tyron Hill, C Dikembe Mutombo.

The two teams jumped in the center circle.

The referee threw the ball high, Davis jumped up with all his strength, and touched the ball with his middle finger before Mutombo, and pointed the ball to his teammate.

The Raptors grabbed the ball.

Compared with the previous game, the Raptors' tactical changes did not change much.

Carter dribbled at the top of the arc, waiting for his teammates to pick and roll, and observing the situation on the court.

Oakley went forward to pick and roll, bringing Hill out from the inside.

Davis moved to the other side of the free throw line to ask for the ball.

This time, Mutombo didn't dare to act rashly. Once he left the restricted area, Carter might break in and dunk.

When Uncle Mu hesitated, Carter passed the ball to Davis, who turned around and made a jump shot from the high post.

Swish!

Two points, the ball goes in!

The score is 0 to 2!

The Raptors got off to a good start!

This is a good sign!

Wilkens watched the ball with a smile on his face, and did not blame Davis for not playing according to the tactics.

The ball was changed, and the 76ers served.

Iverson was on the right 45-degree three-point line, holding the ball to organize the offense, and Allen was in the left bottom corner.

Williams stared at Allen from a distance of one meter.

On this side, there were only Williams and Allen!

Iverson threw the ball to Allen for a singles shot

"One meter away, you can't defend me!"

Allen saw that Williams had no intention of moving forward, as if he was going to let him shoot, so he taunted him.

"Really? Then give it a try!"

Williams responded to Allen expressionlessly.

The next moment.

Allen pulled up and shot.

In the air, the basketball flew out of Allen's hands and flew towards the net.

This time, Williams did not jump up to block the shot for the first time. Instead, he stretched out his arms and stepped forward like a player who came to help defend, interfering with Allen's shot.

Swish!

Three-pointer, the ball went in!

The score was 3 to 2!

Allen landed steadily.

Williams' sneakers brushed past Allen's sneakers.

"What a pity, I didn't find the right place"

"You won't be so lucky next time."

Williams pursed his lips, turned around and ran to the front court, muttering as he ran.

"Allen For-three!! Enter!"

"Did Williams give up on defense? Or was he forced to do so by public pressure?"

"Why are you defending Allen like this?"

"Or did Williams, who was defending him, fall asleep?"......

Allen felt strange when he saw this.

Could it be that Williams restrained himself after hearing the media's abuse?

Williams' defense is not so flawed.

And judging from his expression, he doesn't look like he didn't sleep well.

The offense and defense changed, and the Raptors kicked off.

The Raptors saw that the previous attack was quite effective.

Oakley and Davis were in position again.

This time Mutombo raised the defense to the free throw line.

Carter had an idea and broke through with the ball.

Allen passed Oakley's pick-and-roll and chased him.

Suddenly, Carter stopped and stepped back, leaning on Allen for a jump shot.

The basketball was off the mark and fell directly outside the line.

Allen didn't slow down and bumped into it.

Foul!

Beep~!

76ers No. 4, Allen fouled!

Two free throws!

Carter walked to the free throw line and grinned at Allen:

"Alan, you are still so careless."
