Chapter 250: [Never give up, be humble]

In the first half, Iverson made 7 of 18 shots, 2 of 3 threes, 0 of 6 free throws, and 19 points and 2 assists.
On the side of the Raptors, Carter made 6 of 8 shots, 2 of 3 three-pointers, and 4 of 4 free throws. He quietly scored 17 points, 3 rebounds and 3 assists. The data was not inferior to Iverson.
Miller played in the second half and made another three-pointer. He scored 10 points, 8 rebounds and 7 assists in the half and went for a triple-double.
O'Neal Jr., McGrady and Billups also played well, leading the Raptors 57-33.
The 76ers only scored 15 points in a single quarter.
In the second half, Iverson began to find a cover to get rid of. He found that Boykins was fast and close to others. It was difficult to break through directly.
After only two minutes of playing, Yang Rui replaced Cato, who was slow in defense, and made McGrady a power forward. The other four were Boykins, Christie, Carter, O'Neal, and the big four.
O'Neal can move faster than many outsiders. The Raptors have only one goal, limiting Iverson.
McGrady will not be a defensive loophole, because at this time Kukoch came to the No. 4 position, and the 208CM tall Ratliff is only 102 kg, not good at attacking.
In order to open the formation, the 76ers must keep an inside line that can shoot. McGrady's anti-Kukocchi just happened to play his own strengths.
The Raptors sandwiched Iverson near the penalty area. Those who can shoot three-pointers on the outside line will be watched. Others will be short. Ratliff and Snow shot casually at 17 feet and beyond and were inefficient.
Iverson's perimeter was tightly entangled, and the breakthrough would be trapped. He could only shoot away from the basket.
Towards the end of the third quarter, he was also stolen by Boykins once. The Raptors counterattacked 2 of 1 in the frontcourt. Tracy McGrady threw the ball to the rebound and Carter followed up with an empty catch. The big head windmill dunk scored.
In this quarter, the Raptors broke down the 76ers, leading 91 to 52, and the game entered garbage time.
Iverson had 28 points, 2 rebounds and 3 assists, and took more than half of the team's scoring, but helpless teammates failed to give enough support.
The team was 39 points behind and Iverson continued to play. He still has physical strength, averaging 41 minutes per game this season.
Ever since entering the league, Iverson has had a strong desire to win and a spirit of never giving up. Even if the 76 teams were weak in the first two seasons, the record was at the bottom of the league, and often fell behind by half a score, he would fight tenaciously until the last few minutes to fight for a reversal.
In Yang Rui's previous life, Iverson's career playing time was extremely high, reaching 41.1 minutes, and even 45 minutes per game in the playoffs, which is quite terrible!
Among them, he played 40 minutes per game in his rookie season. He has played more than 40 minutes per game in 13 consecutive seasons. He is an absolute iron man. Throughout the history of the NBA, only 5 players have averaged more than 40 minutes per game, and the rest are players from ancient times!
The Raptors replaced all substitutes, Boykins, Hornacek, Kristi, Jumaine Jones, Cato.
However, in the final quarter Iverson still failed to play a gorgeous offense, could not easily get rid of Boykins, shooting touch average, relying on teammates to cover the breakthrough near the penalty area will be strangled by the Raptors team.
Brin sighed: "This Raptors not only has a good offense, but also has a high defensive intensity. Their defense against Iverson was very successful. The small guard Earl Boykins made all fans remember his name today. ."
Frazier laughed: "Dare to send the marginal man to defend the superstar, Yang Rui can't describe the tactics as "bold", he is more like a crazy scientist than old Nelson. And he is right, Boykin Spy is better than other Iverson defenses."
Yang Rui let Boykins defend Iverson. The highly mobile man assisted defense was targeted and copied the 76ers VS Lakers 2001 finals tactics. In the regular season against the 76ers, Yang Rui did not give Boykins too many opportunities to use it as a secret weapon.
The Raptors did a good job on the defensive end. The 76ers couldn't prevent the Raptors' offense. How could they not fail?
The Raptors won 115 to 72. The six scored in double figures. Miller scored 14 points, 11 rebounds and 9 assists. He only played 28 minutes. Unfortunately, he missed a triple-double. Carter, McGrady and O'Neal scored 20+.
Iverson was replaced 4 minutes in advance, playing 41 minutes, making 13 of 35 shots, 2 of 7 3-pointers, and 7 of 8 free throws. His shooting percentage was only 37.1%. He scored 35 points, 3 rebounds, 4 assists and 2 steals.
At the press conference, Larry Brown went black all the way, and the gap between the two teams was so big that he had nothing to say and could not think of any way to defeat the Raptors.
At this time, what he thought was how to lose a little in the next game, not how to win. In the next game, Iverson will reduce his shots and increase the number of passes.
Iverson has not given up, he said: "The Raptors are a terrible team, their offense will make the opponent feel desperate, our offense and defense have problems, but will not admit defeat, the series has just begun, we Will find a way to win."
Boykins has average data, only 7 points and 3 assists, and also participated in the press conference. He played 28 minutes and was in charge of Iverson. The reporters were very interested in him.
Boykins smiled and said: "I didn't expect to prove myself in such a way. The coach announced the tactics before the game and said that I would play time and let me match up with the idol. I was surprised."
The reporter asked: "You said, Iverson is your idol?"
"Yes, he is the shortest scoring leader in NBA history, and it is my role model. But my previous goal was just to get a foothold in the NBA, and Jerry has helped me do it." Boykins laughed.
He is not a compliment to Iverson. Any guard who has no height advantage and plays in the NBA will use Iverson as a role model. Who doesn't want to be the core of a team and become the scoring leader?
The reporter asked: "Do you think you can prevent him?"
"I just tried my best to prevent him from making comfortable shots. I personally can't prevent it. His low shooting rate today is the result of the team's joint efforts. He is probably the most player in NBA history who is less than 6 feet tall. Strong~EbookFREE.me~ There is a big gap between me and him." Boykins replied.
Yang Rui asked Boykins to attend the press conference, which would make him more famous, but he must be careful in answering questions and be humble.
If Boykins does not say these words, online fans are probably going to start a scolding battle. Iverson’s fans will do their best to protect idols. Those who hate Iverson will use Boykins’s words today as evidence to suppress Iver. Mori.
If Iverson’s fans were angry with Boykins, then he would be in great trouble, and he would definitely be scolded badly, and no fan would speak for him.
In an interview, Yang Rui commented on the game and said: "I'm glad we made another start. The players have played very well. Both the offense and defense have done everything the coaching staff requested. I hope they can perform like this every game. We will definitely win the championship."
The reporter asked: "Will you reuse Boykins in the future?"
Yang Rui thought for a while and smiled: "It depends on who the opponent is. A team like the 76ers who plays offense in a low position. I will reuse him because it will not become a defensive loophole. If the opponent is a ball like the Jazz or the Lakers. Team, I will definitely not let him be abused. The Raptors have no fixed tactics, only the most suitable tactics!"
