Sun Hao played this section all over.

After scoring 6 points in a row, the Mavericks recovered their scoring momentum under his guidance.

This is a basketball game.

Excluding Kobe's feat like 81 points in a single game, most of the time, the game is driven by points and surfaces.

The 76ers are the most realistic examples.

Iverson has a strong scoring ability, averaging 30+ per game, but he is only 30+, and it is impossible to have 40+ or ​​50+.

Because of physical strength it does not allow.

Most of the time, like in the first quarter, he relies on him to open up the situation, restrain the defense, and then lead the team.

The same thing Sun Hao did.

After he scored 6 points in a row, Brown signaled that the defense center of gravity would tilt towards him.

Nowitzki, Finley and the others have an offensive opportunity.

Although his strength and team status are different from Iverson, his performance on the field in the first quarter is not worse than Iverson!

Because he played the first quarter, Old Nelson adjusted Sun Hao's rotation time and only replaced him in the second half of the second quarter.

He also continued his outstanding form in the first quarter, making another three-pointer and a fast break layup.

After halftime, the score on the court was 42 to 40, and the Mavericks led the 76ers by 2 points in the first half.

They performed very well against the first match in the Eastern Conference.

Of course, Sun Hao is the best one.

He scored a team-high 14 points in the half, made 3 of 6 three-pointers, and also made 3 assists and did not make a mistake.

When he returned to the locker room during the intermission, Nowitzki put his hand on Sun Hao's shoulder, his face full of joy.

When he played against the Bulls before, he thought Sun Hao was the kind of player who could become a leader.

At that time, he felt that he was thinking a little confused.

But tonight, the facts proved again that his little brother is really different!

After returning from the intermission, the situation on the court changed again.

And the person who made that change happen was Larry Brown.

This NBA's coach is best at defense and has obviously adjusted the defensive arrangement in the midfield.

Sun Hao was defended by a key defense.

A well-known law of the NBA, few people can score high scores on Larry Brown's team.

There are a hundred ways for him to take care of you.

Unless you are a god like Jordan, it will be difficult for you to crack all these methods.

Sun Hao may have a chance to become a god in the future, but at least he is not yet.

He was substituted after playing for 10 minutes in this quarter, and scored 2 points with only free throws.

However, the Mavericks' offense was unexpectedly good in this quarter.

Nowitzki showed his talent after the defensive pressure dropped.

He scored 13 points in a single quarter.

Under his leadership, the Mavericks are still on par with the 76ers.

After the third quarter, the score on the field was 61 to 58, and the Mavericks led by 3 points and entered the final quarter.

If they continue to fight according to this momentum, they have a good chance to win tonight's game.

However, the change happened during this period.

"Larry, I'm going to play."

While three or four were pausing one after another, Iverson walked up to Brown and said something like this to him.

At this time, it was only two minutes before he was substituted in the third quarter.

Even the best player is, he will need to rest during the game.

According to the general practice of NBA, the last two to three minutes of the first and third quarters and the first three to five minutes of the first and fourth quarters are their rest time.

Because of this rotation, a player's playing time is basically between 33 and 38 minutes, which is also the normal playing time for a core player.

However, there are exceptions, and Iverson is the exception among the exceptions.

His career averaged 41.1 minutes per game, and he also counted the seasons he had been wandering in the final stage.

Other times, the playing time is less than 40 minutes, and you are not wrong, it is Brown who is protecting him.

Iverson was able to beat a number of geniuses and his other talent and physical fitness.

Brown nodded.

The situation is in a stalemate and he also needs to make some changes.

Iverson's early appearance changed the situation on the field between the two teams.

Don't ask why Old Nelson didn't get into the main force in advance, because not everyone is Iverson!

Nowitzki just played the third quarter, and Nash and Sun Hao were replaced for only 2 minutes.

As for Leitner and Finley, they didn't play well in this game, and it would be difficult to play any role in the game.

Moreover, the purpose of Iverson's playing field is not clear anymore, it is to grab points.

The iconic butterfly step through the butterfly, broke through to the pull-rod layup in the crowd, and suddenly stopped and drifted and pulled out, making a layup that was the best in the fast break...

Whether it is Hubert Davis, Esley, or even Alexander or Buckner, there is nothing we can do about Iverson!

Iverson's personal abilities this season have reached the peak of his career. Coupled with Brown's system, his level is not on the same dimension as others.

In just less than four minutes, he scored 13 points from inside and outside, helping the 76ers overtake in an instant, and widened the gap to double digits!

Sun Hao was quite shocked to watch it off the scene.

Unlike Carter's violent aesthetic shock, this shock is simply about personal ability.

Iverson this season in history is also the peak season of his personal honor.

With a group of players who are not named, the single core came out of the East in blood and was elected as the regular season MVP.

In the finals, he even staged one of the greatest games of the 20th century, with 48 points in a single game, and with his own strength, the invincible Ok combination swallowed the only playoff loss in the season.

In front of him was actually the best Iverson.

Old Nelson was forced to call for a pause.

After the timeout came back, he replaced the main player in advance.

Generally speaking, the main players will go on the team after 5 minutes, and the Mavericks are running and fighting teams, and the intensity of the game tonight is very high, so it is best to go further back at this time.

But now he has replaced the main force in advance, and he is forced to do so.

Because if he doesn't change, the game may not have the decisive moment he wants!

Brown responded very promptly on the 76ers, and replaced the main players.

Both sides entered the decisive battle early!

In the first leg of the timeout, Nowitzki received a pass from Nash to hit two points in the high position.

But then he turned around and Iverson walked on the left through the butterfly, breaking through Sun Hao's layup.

He has a 90% chance of going to the right, but it means he won't go to the left.

After adapting to Sun Hao's defensive style, he also began to seek change by himself.

The two sides were in a stalemate again. When the game reached only 5 minutes left, the score on the field was 81 to 71, and the 76ers still had a double-digit lead!

There is not much time left, and the situation is extremely unfavorable to the Mavericks.

The biggest problem left to Old Nelson is that as an offensive team, he cannot limit Iverson's scoring momentum, who still lost 37 points in this game, which is 6 points more than he averages in the season;

Moreover, in the face of the defensive strength of the Sixers, it is difficult for them to achieve an offensive climax.

This is an unsolvable question, and there is no answer at all.

Yes, opposite.

The current failure seems inevitable.

But old Nelson... is unwilling to give up!

The old man is always stubborn and unyielding.

Especially in such a game, he is a spear and Brown is a shield.

Every game between them will be talked about by fans after the game.

Is it the spear that penetrates the shield or blocks the spear?
