Chapter 25 Vicious sugar-coated bullets
The 76ers' pure substitute lineup only lasted less than a minute.
Kongbu has already made it clear that he wants to kill everyone. If he adds a pure substitute lineup, it will only further widen the point difference.
No matter how the lineup is changed, nothing will change.
Kongbu looked proud. He felt that the reason why he was able to win so easily tonight was that his defensive tactics against Iverson were the key.
Just imagine if you follow Iverson's normal style of play, holding the ball and rushing to the basket.
Tonight is the home game of the 76ers, and there will definitely be a home whistle. If Ben or Camby gets four or five fouls early, the Raptors' interior defense will immediately drop.
Although relying on the advantage of the lineup, the Raptors still had a great chance of winning in the end.
But there is definitely no way to crush it as happily as now.
Iverson scored quite a lot tonight. He had already scored 19 points after halftime. It would not be a problem to score 30 points in the whole game.
And the shooting rate is not low, with a shooting rate of about 45%, which is almost Iverson's normal level.
Under normal circumstances, Iverson averages only 22 points per game this season, and tonight he will probably exceed his average points per game, so there is no fault in his performance.
But Iverson is so smart. The more he played, the more he realized that something was wrong.
Consistently making mid-range shots like this is an irresistible comfort for any outside player.
But Iverson realized that this was probably a trap dug by Kong Bu, and deliberately let him shoot to protect his inside line.
He's shooting more comfortably, and the Raptors' inside game is more comfortable.
For a moment, Iverson looked at Kongbu in horror. It was hard for him to believe that Kongbu, who looked so immature, could come up with such vicious sugar-coated bullets.
Originally, he didn't take Kong Bu seriously, but now the more he thought about it, the more terrifying he became.
After seeing through Kongbu's plan, Iverson began to change his playing style. Even if he had a comfortable mid-range shooting space, he would never shoot, and began to rush towards the penalty area with the ball.
Kongbu noticed this and laughed carelessly.
The game is already halfway through the third quarter, and only the last quarter and a half is left. At this time, the Raptors still have a lot of fouls available for the three towers.
Even if Iverson changes his style of play, there's nothing he can do about it.
At the end of the third quarter, the Raptors led the Philadelphia 76ers by a terrifying 49 points with a score of 93:44.
The defense is extremely poor, and the offense cannot open up. Facing a super new force like the Raptors that is both offensive and defensive, the Philadelphia 76ers are simply unable to resist.
ESPN broadcast tonight's game live, and the chief commentator, Mike Breen, had a look of disbelief on his face.
"God, if this game is the Bulls versus the 76ers, with such a point difference, I can still accept it."
"But the 76ers' opponent is the Raptors. Last season they were the last team in the Eastern Conference."
"It's really shocking. I have a feeling that tonight will definitely go down in NBA history."
Breen has been the chief commentator on ESPN for more than ten years. He has never seen a team show such a huge difference in strength two seasons apart without large-scale signings.
.
The special TV commentator sitting next to him was none other than the red giant Bill Walton.
"A few months ago, I heard that the Raptors had appointed a 28-year-old as their head coach. I felt extremely ridiculous at the time."
"Now it seems that I am the one who is ridiculous."
"The Raptors, who were originally no one's favorites, have turned into a powerful team in just a few months under the hands of Kong Bu."
"In addition, if you think about it carefully, except for Camby, all the current main players of the Raptors were brought by Kongbu."
"Bringing one can be said to be luck. Bringing two can also be said to be luck."
"How many players has Kongbu brought? Every player has a very high cost performance."
Bill Walton, a member of the Hall of Fame and a top 50 star, directly gave Combu an extremely high evaluation.
While the two were chatting, the fourth quarter of the game began.
"Guys, cheer up."
"Hold on for one more quarter and give me a 60-point score difference."
After the players came on the field, Kongbu stood on the sidelines and shouted at the players.
The voice was very loud, and it seemed that his words were not meant for the Raptors players at all, but more like they were meant for Larry Brown.
Larry Brown clenched his fists, swearing that he had never encountered such a hateful boy in his life.
The score difference is close to 50 points. Except for Iverson, the 76ers players basically have no fighting spirit.
Now Stackhouse and Coleman's biggest wish is to score double figures in this game.
The game has gone on for three quarters. Coleman has taken 14 shots, and has only made two so far. In addition, he has made 1 of 2 free throws, and has only scored 5 points in total.
Stackhouse wasn't much better. He took 17 shots, even more than Iverson.
In 17 shots, he missed all 6 three-pointers, made 4 of 11 field goals, and didn't make any free throws. He only scored 8 points at the moment.
Looking at the performance of these two young men, it is not difficult to imagine why the 76ers lost so miserably.
If the offense is not good but the defense can play a role, that is not unacceptable.
However, the defense of these two guys is not much better than their offense.
Time passed by, and Larry Brown was pacing back and forth on the sidelines, anxious.
The score difference has already passed fifty, and it is heading towards the sixty mark.
The current single-game point difference record in NBA history is 68 points, which was set by the Cavaliers and Heat in 1991. In that game, the Cavaliers defeated by 68 points with a score of 148:80.
If this point difference can be broken tonight, Larry Brown will definitely be disgraced.
Unfortunately, it is not that easy to break this record.
The Raptors had too few rotation players. By the fourth quarter, the players were lacking in physical fitness and their offensive efficiency had begun to decrease.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Fortunately, when the referee blew the whistle to end the game, the score difference was fixed at 61 points.
At 119:58, the Philadelphia 76ers' total score was not even as high as the point difference.
Stackhouse finally scored in double figures. He took 22 shots and scored a terrifying 11 points.
Coleman was miserable. By the end of the game, he had only scored 7 points.
There was nothing wrong with Iverson's statistics. He took 21 shots and scored 29 points.
However, Iverson was very dissatisfied with his performance. He knew very well that he had been tricked by Kong Bu in this game and was deceived by Kong Bu's sugar-coated bullets.
If I could realize this earlier, even if I still lose in the end, I won't lose so miserably.
All the Raptors players performed very well.
As the big brother of the team, Big Ben spared no effort to help O'Brien improve his statistics tonight, and he was able to score 3 points, 12 rebounds, 2 assists and 3 blocks.
Now that the season has been played for five games, Ben has averaged 14.5 rebounds and 3.6 blocks per game. He is second only to Rodman in rebounding and ranks first in blocks.
Blue-collar interior ceiling, well deserved!
Camby scored 8 points, 8 rebounds, 4 assists, 3 blocks and 1 steal. Although the statistics are not impressive, there is no doubt about his role on the court.
Wu Sheng, who played forward and guard, scored 26 points tonight, while Mashburn scored 24 points.
The two brothers scored 50 points together, beating the 76ers on both offense and defense, and stole the show.
But to talk about the limelight, the protagonist of this game should be Ou. He played for 32 minutes and scored 36 points, 10 rebounds, 2 blocks and 2 steals as a super power forward.
Six days ago, he was a water fountain keeper.
