NBA: Best point guard

Chapter 208 The real test

Although they didn't feel very happy after winning the game, coach Brown found that under the leadership of Zhao Qiang, the players gradually integrated into the team's system. Now they mainly revolve around Zhao Qiang and Ivor Sen is playing.

At the beginning, Coach Brown was very worried about him. He worried that such a dazzling member as Iverson would make other members become ordinary under his influence. This does not just refer to the statistics on the court. , and their enthusiasm and performance.

And Zhao Qiang was not suppressed by Iverson, but became the same existence as Iverson. The 15th pick in the draft at that time was indeed a bit lower.

It's just that the 76ers can be regarded as discerning, and traded some unimportant chips to Zhao Qiang.

After the game, I returned to the locker room. Iverson was not in a high mood. Zhao Qiang, as the captain appointed by Brown's head coach, naturally needed to take care of Iverson's emotions.

"What's wrong, brother? Why are you so depressed, this is not like the Allen Iverson I know."

Iverson pouted, "Zhao, don't you think today's game was too boring? Jordan didn't play, and the Bulls didn't have any decent resistance. It was just some substitute players and rookies fighting us on the court. Even if I win, I don’t think it’s interesting.”

Zhao Qiang comforted with a smile: "Brother, this is just a preseason game. It's normal for the star players on the opposite side to not play. Originally, the preseason game is used to train us rookies and those substitutes."

"The head coach said it. Play at a low level in the preseason. Don't get injured. Our goal is the regular season. During the regular season, these star players will play. Then we will join hands to beat them. Let them know how good our Philadelphia Twins are."

Yes, Zhao Qiang and Iverson are now called the Philadelphia Twins by the Philadelphia local media.

It is also that the Philadelphia media has special expectations for the two of them. Both of them have performed very well in these preseason games. One is a super scorer, while the other does not score particularly much, but he The ability to connect teams and control the rhythm is indeed very good.

And these two Philadelphia twin stars also gave Philadelphia fans hope and hope that the team can compete for the championship in the future.

Now many fans watch the preseason games, and they will shout the Philadelphia Twins at the scene.

At first, the two of them were a little embarrassed to hear it, but gradually they listened more, and the two of them accepted it.

Iverson also found that when Zhao Qiang was on the court, he would play very smoothly and comfortably, which was much smoother than playing alone on the court.

So when Zhao Qiang was on the wall, Iverson was especially willing to cooperate with him.

Because Zhao Qiang can always pass the ball to him at the most suitable opportunity, and when he passes the ball to the open space, Zhao Qiang will always appear in that position just right.

Two people are running in both directions, generally each understands their own psychology, each understands their own style of play, and both of them are willing to cooperate with each other.

There are still a few games in the preseason, and everyone is not as excited as when they first played for the first time.

Because everyone knows that most of these teams participating in the preseason will not show their true strength. Everyone is doing regular tactical drills and player training, so the players of the Philadelphia team have also entered such a fixed schedule. model.

At the beginning of their game, when they were very excited, Coach Brown didn't stop them.

When new talents enter the NBA, they have to go through such a stage. The more you tell them not to do certain things, but the rebellious hearts of young people, the more they want to do it.

So some things might as well let them experience them well.

Now that they have experienced it, they finally know the attitude of other teams in the preseason, so they also died down.

Being able to practice the tactics he stipulated well is what Brown's head coach needs most. Although these young people are full of blood and energy, their execution ability is also very good.

The preseason also ended very smoothly. The entire 76ers got along pretty well. The players got along very well, especially the three rookies. Their performance was not like the three rookies at all. A player who has played for many years.

On October 10th, the first regular season game of the Philadelphia 30ers. In this game, the 76ers sit at home and face the Indiana Pacers.

This game can be said to be a game that fans of both sides are very concerned about.

For fans of the Philadelphia 76ers, the regular season is the key to testing whether the team can win the game.

Whether the Philadelphia Twins are the real Twins still needs to be confirmed by their performance in the game.

The Pacers' lineup is very strong, and the head star Reggie Miller is a super scorer.

The Pacers' starting lineup includes point guard Mark Jackson, shooting guard Reggie Miller, small forward Derrick, power forward Dell Davis, and center Rick Schmitz.

The Pacers are not a weak team at this time, even Jordan leading the Bulls may not be able to win them.

The Philadelphia 76ers' starting lineup includes point guard Zhao Qiang, shooting guard Iverson, small forward McGee, power forward Ben, and center Mutombo.

It was obvious throughout the game that both Zhao Qiang and Iverson were equally excited.

Iverson is excited because he can finally face a superstar, and because he can finally face a legendary shooter.

The game started quickly, and Uncle Mu and Schmitz jumped the ball.

As the whistle sounded, the basketball flew into the air, Schmitz played the ball to Jackson, and Jackson organized the Pacers to attack.

As soon as Jackson dribbled the ball for half court, Zhao Qiang defended him.

Zhao Qiang knew that this was the regular season, so he strengthened his defensive ability.

As soon as Jackson came over, Zhao Qiang pressed towards him, and he chose to defend closely.

Close defense consumes a lot of stamina, but fortunately, Zhao Qiang's physical strength is very strong, even if he uses close defense for the whole game, it will be no problem at all.

Jackson was a little surprised. He didn't expect that this rookie who just entered the NBA would have a strong defensive pressure.

Jackson tried to make a breakthrough from the right, and whenever he wanted to make a breakthrough, Zhao Qiang's figure would always appear at the right place and firmly block him.

Jackson dribbled the ball back, his face was a little ugly, Miller saw Jackson's predicament, and immediately asked for the ball.

Jackson also immediately passed the basketball. .
