Chapter 256: Barrel

On April 23, the first round of the NBA playoffs, the opening game, the Eagles vs. the 76ers.
It's the 76ers again!
NBC TV narrator Matt Gokas also spoke out righteously.
"Why Philadelphia again? I have some doubts about this. Is the league taking care of them, or is it targeting them?"
It's an opener every time. Is this pressure or do you want to give more performance opportunities? Many viewers in front of the TV are also a little confused.
Groom-Albert came forward to explain.
"Hehehe, Matt, don’t you understand? The 76ers game is the most popular with the audience. Didn’t you see? Every time there is a 76ers game, the TV station staff are all smiles and positive It's very."
Matt Gokas also thought of something, "Hey, when you said that, I remembered it. Yesterday I saw who was holding a report. I just took a look, wow."
Gokas made an exaggerated backward movement.
"What's the matter?" The groom looked surprised, really cooperative.
"The statistics on the report are the ratings of the last two months of NBA games. Did you know? The 76ers' ratings are ranked in the same position as the Bulls Lakers." Gokas's expression was always that wide-eyed. , Very exaggerated.
"Wow! Amazing!" The old groom also sighed. Although he knew it was fake, the old groom was still very cooperative.
However, at this moment, Bill Walton, who had not spoken, suddenly interrupted and asked: "Then this time we are explaining the 76ers game again. Other commentators won't have any opinions, right?"
Hearing this, Matt Gokas raised his voice at once, "Who dares? We are three people. Who dare?"
Bill Walton said weakly, "Matt, this is not a fight. What's the use of more people?"
"Hey, there is no such line?" Gokas took out a line book and looked at it carefully.
The groom-Albert beside him smiled and bent over, "Hahahaha~"
Bad acting skills, bad lines, this is the guy Gokas.
When the three old men joked and acted, the fans at the home stadium were also agitated, and the players on both sides appeared.
The three old men quickly returned to normal.
Groom Albert introduced the players of both sides: "Let’s look at the starting players of both sides,
76ers starting: Snow, Iverson, Li Nan, Coleman, Ben Wallace,
Hawks starters: Blaylock, Smith, Corbin, Henderson, Mutombo. "
Matt Gokas, who can't miss any chance to answer the call, also spoke up: "During the regular season, the 76ers are 3-1, which is an absolute advantage over the Eagles. In this game, I think ~ um um um ~~"
Both Groom Albert and Bill Walton were a step slower.
Next, everyone saw the 76ers on the offensive end.
"Allen rushed in and challenged Dikembe. He shook Dikembe, a small tosser. Drift~ Oh, no, Dikembe, Dikembe's finger touched the ball. Shake your finger, Die Kember's finger shaking appeared."
"Coleman's reverse run, Snow passed a high ball. Okay~ Uh~ Dikembe, Dikembe slapped the ball directly. Here comes Dikembe's finger shaking again."
"Lee is like a long-distance runner. It's really boring. Corbyn seems to be breathing a little. He can't catch up. Oh, Lee's chance has appeared. A mid-range shot. Oh, there is a big shot. The arm appeared. The ball was not scored! Dikembe interfered with Lee's shot."
At the beginning, Mutombo supported the Eagles' extensive defense, and the 76ers' several offensives were defeated.
Both the old groom and Walton glanced at Gokas at the same time.
"What do you guys think of me? This is clearly that Alan and Li are in bad condition, what does it have to do with me?" Gokas's tone became weaker and weaker under the eyes of the two...
...
After playing for 4 minutes, the score of both sides was 9-6. Both sides scored very low. The Philadelphia 76ers only scored 6 points.
This is all because of Mutombo's defense.
Congolese Mutombo, height 218, weight 120, defensive center, tall and long arm, has super card position technology and precise block timing.
He is the best defensive player in the league for the two-time 94-95 and 96-97.
Not surprisingly, he is still the best defensive player this year!
Larry Brown has been staring at him off the court, his eyes are full of appreciation, envy, longing...
Mutombo's defense blocked the 76ers' offense, but Larry Brown did not call a timeout.
He turned to look at the two boys who were whispering on the court, showing a faint smile.
...
On the field, between the opponent's free throws, Li Nan talked to Iverson.
"Alan, you are a bit good senior."
Iverson and Mutombo are both from Georgetown University, and both were once proud disciples of coach John Thompson.
"Senior? Don't know! It's a little bit powerful." Even the proud Iverson admitted Mutombo's strength.
Bo Tong's defense is indeed a bit strong. The defensive area is amazing, the rebounding control is excellent, and the judgment of the shots is even stronger.
"Allen, the coach's fouling strategy is not working. We speed up and stop inking with them."
The 76ers' opening plan was to commit a foul and get Mutombo down.
In the previous regular season, the 76ers used fouls to beat the Hawks three times.
However, this time, Mutombo became smarter. Of course, it's also because the referee's standards are looser.
So far, the 76ers' plans are going to fail.
Therefore, the 76ers must make changes.
Hearing Li Nan's words, Iverson agreed without thinking about it, "Okay!"
Iverson seemed a little impatient.
...
哐!
Hawks player Smith missed a free throw.
Rebound!
Ben Wallace is squeezing Mutombo, but Mutombo is tall and arm long, and this rebound seems to be lost.
When Ben Wallace was wondering whether to commit a foul, someone flashed out.
Ben Wallace and Mutombo were entangled with each other, and they could only watch, watching White No. 9 steal the ball from their heads in broad daylight.
"Fight back!"
Outside the three-point line, Iverson received the ball and killed it directly, like a white lightning.
The Eagles guard Blaylock could not stop Iverson's advancement.
A low layup is very easy!
Some dull scenes came back to life.
"Wow!"
"Lee! Allen! Go!"
"This is our 76ers!"
"ALi! ALi! ALi!"
At this moment, Mutombo looked at the younger brother who "returned triumphantly" and shook his head helplessly.
After that, under Li Nan and Iverson's quick pursuit, the 76ers quickly covered the past.
The rhythm was slowly brought up by the 76ers.
In such a quick offensive and defensive transition, Mutombo seems a bit useless.
However, without Mutombo, the inside of the Hawks will be sifted by the 76ers.
The main force is not good, the Eagles want to use the bench to win back a city.
However, the Hawks abandoned Wilkins on the 76ers bench has let the Hawks deflated.
Shooting from the inside out ~EbookFREE.me~ a world-renowned dunk, Wilkins let the mother team face disgrace.
...
Beep beep!
The game is over!
