Chapter 269 Three consecutive triple-doubles

At this time, another commentator expressed his opinion, "I also think so. In fact, the 76ers' lineup configuration is very good, but Allen's playing style is too strong. If it continues, it will be difficult for the 76ers to win!"

The two commentators had an indescribable feeling in their hearts, thinking that this shouldn't be the case. Judging from the lineup alone, the 76ers are undoubtedly at the forefront of the NBA, but only achieved a record of 4 wins and 6 losses. If they continue, the 76ers will probably be further and further away from the playoffs.

Although Iverson is like a fighter, he can get high scores in almost every game, if he wants to win, he needs to change his style of play. It is difficult to lead the team forward with his personal heroism. He must unite his teammates, but with Iverson's personality, this is almost impossible.

"You did a good job, but we need to make some changes in the second quarter. Darrell, I hope you can strengthen your threat on the offensive end and continue to intensify Iverson's offensive desire! I believe with your strength, you can definitely do this!"

During the short break, Coach Rivers did not announce new tactics, but looked at Armstrong with a serious look.

Rivers' idea is very simple, that is, to continue to intensify Iverson's offensive desire, he doesn't want Iverson to continue to maintain such a touch. As long as his touch cools down, it will be when the Nets widen the gap.

Darrell Armstrong is 31 years old this year, but no one expected that he would only start to reach his peak at this age.

Armstrong has never participated in the NBA draft. After graduation, he played in the CBA (Continental Basketball League), USBL (American Basketball League), and even traveled across the ocean to participate in leagues in Spain and Turkey. This is a time when he really lacks a sense of security, he has no place to live and is home to the world, but Armstrong has developed a "plug-and-play" skill in such a difficult environment, and his ability to understand the virtual and real courts has reached the pinnacle.

This 1.85-meter-long little man has a heroic posture on the court as if he is as quiet as a virgin as a rabbit. He can not only destroy and rob the opponent's position, but also like a dragon flying from the sky.

Most importantly, Armstrong's life is very regular and has the unique confidence of black people. His life is basketball first and family second.

Over the years, Armstrong has developed a lot of skills. He has strong breakthroughs, excellent assisting ability and three-pointers, and his overall strength is close to the All-Star level.

Last season, Armstrong averaged 30 minutes per game, scoring 13.8 points, 3.6 rebounds and 6.7 assists, winning the fastest-progress player award, and ranked second in the Best Sixth Man selection, beneath Chi Liang.

"Coach, I will do it!" Armstrong raised his head, his eyes full of confidence. He also had a strong desire to perform for the small player Iverson, but he was not the core of the Nets, so he could only try his best to suppress it.

Now that he has the coach's instructions, he doesn't need to continue to suppress it.

Soon, the second quarter began and the 76ers controlled the ball.

The first round of attack was still a performance by Allen Iverson alone. Iverson used his best butterfly step to get rid of Armstrong, and then scored with a throw before Chi Liang assisted in defense.

To be honest, as long as Iverson is in a hot state, it will be difficult for the Nets to limit Iverson's offense, but the 76ers can't stop the Nets' offense.

After the offense and defense transition, Armstrong broke through with the ball. His breakthrough action was not as fancy as Iverson, but it was very practical. He only changed directions in succession. After shaking away Iverson's center of gravity, he immediately took a step back and appeared outside the three-point line and shot a three-pointer.

Swish~

Basketball hollow into the net!

Last season, Armstrong averaged 3.8 three-pointers per game, hitting 1.4, and his shooting percentage reached 36.5%.

In the Iron Blood Age, this three-point shooting rate is already very good.

Under his own defense, Armstrong easily made a three-pointer, which naturally made Iverson quite annoyed. So when it was the 76ers' turn to attack, Iverson ignored his teammates again and held the ball and wanted to break through Armstrong.

This time, Armstrong was not shaken away quickly, barely following Iverson's pace and blocking Iverson's way.

In this case, Iverson still did not pass the ball, but immediately jumped up and forced a jump shot. Even though Armstrong tried his best to block the ball, Iverson felt hot and the basketball eventually fell into the basket.

In the next round, Armstrong used his running position to receive Chi Liang's pass and scored two points at the open position.

On the other hand, Iverson still chose to act alone. Taking advantage of Iverson's offensive desire, Nets players began to consciously increase their assisted defense and double-teaming against Iverson, which also made Iverson's situation even more difficult, and the difficulty of scoring undoubtedly increased by a higher level.

However, Iverson still scored 15 points in the entire second quarter, but compared with the first quarter, his shots increased, which shows that his shooting percentage has decreased.

On the other hand, Armstrong also scored 12 points in a single quarter. Because he played more reasonably, his shooting percentage exceeded that of Iverson. In addition, the Nets were more like a whole, which also gave the Nets a score advantage.

After the half, the Nets led the 76ers by 7 points with a score of 63:56. Although the lead was not big, as long as Iverson continued, the Nets were likely to win this victory.

76ers head coach Larry Brown naturally saw this, and he began to teach Iverson Dunton, hoping that Iverson could unite his teammates instead of just playing singles.

Iverson did not refuse, but nodded silently. The drop in shooting percentage in the second quarter was mainly related to the Nets' encirclement and suppression of him. At the same time, in order to cope with the Nets' encirclement, Iverson also consumed a lot of physical strength. If he continued, it would be difficult for him to play the whole game.

In the third quarter, the two teams still fought fiercely. After discovering that Iverson was "stopped", Armstrong deliberately provoked several times, but Iverson suppressed his hot desire to attack.

But in this quarter, the Nets still had the upper hand. Chi Liang and O'Neal Jr. joined forces to score 24 points and 11 rebounds. Coupled with the contribution of other players, the Nets scored 36 points in the third quarter.

As for the 76ers, Iverson, Hughes and Owens are the main offensive forces, but due to their disadvantages in rebounding, their efficiency cannot be compared with the Nets. The Nets lead the 76ers by 15 points with a score of 99:84.

In the fourth quarter, Larry Brown naturally did not give up and continued to send all the main players to the court. On the other hand, the Nets also wanted to kill the 76ers as soon as possible, and Chi Liang continued to lead the game.

Iverson did not give up. The team was behind, but instead activated his offensive desire again, but this instead made the situation of the 76ers awkward.

After the start of the fourth quarter, Iverson's offense was thrilling and did everything he could. Even so, the score difference could not be narrowed because Chi Liang exploded and his efficiency was significantly higher than Iverson.

When the game ended, the Nets still defended their home victory with a score of 129:108 and successfully won five consecutive victories.

In this game, Chi Liang scored 35 points, 11 assists and 13 rebounds, and scored triple-double data in three consecutive games.

On the other hand, Iverson scored higher, scoring 48 points in the whole game, shooting percentage barely exceeded 40%, and only had 3 assists, which is why the 76ers lost the game.

After easily winning five consecutive victories, the Nets will be tested. This test comes from the Kings, who have an amazing record and have a record of 7 wins and 1 loss. However, the biggest highlight of this game is the battle between Chi Liang and Weber.
