The Philadelphia 76ers are not a weak team. After all, they have players like Iverson in the team. Their overall strength is pretty good and they can rank sixth or seventh in the Eastern Conference.

If it were the Grizzlies in the past, facing the Philadelphia 76ers, they would definitely be beaten.

But now the Grizzlies are no longer what they used to be, and Jiang Dongbing really doesn't think highly of the Philadelphia 76ers' strength.

The main reason is that after removing Allen Iverson from the 76ers, there are really no players that can be used. To be precise, there are some players who can catch the eye of Jiang Dongbing, but Larry Brown does not give these players a chance.

…

This game was completely used by Jiang Dongbing for training. Now that Xiao O and Lewis are back, he needs this game to build the confidence of the two players.

"Jermaine, Rashad, you must seize the opportunity in tonight's game. Your opponent is very weak, so you must get some decent data!" Jiang Dongbing said to the two of them.

The two of them were speechless. Are the 76ers weak inside? At least in their minds Theo Ratliff is definitely a strong player.

This player is 208 centimeters tall and mainly plays the center position, but in Larry Brown's system he plays power forward.

His offense isn't great, nor is his rebounding, but his shot-blocking ability is definitely at a historical level.

Speaking of which, Ratliff is also an unlucky guy. In his entire career, he has blocked nine shots in a single game seven times, but he has not blocked double figures in any game.

If you want to know how strong Ratliff's shot-blocking ability is, it's most appropriate to compare two players. Ben is undoubtedly a player with strong shot-blocking ability in people's minds, but he only blocked four shots in a single game.

Reached nine times.

In terms of shot-blocking ability alone, Ratliff may be among the top 20 players in history.

This is such a player, at least the one Xiao Ao needs to look up to now, but in the end Jiang Dongbing said he is very weak?

…

"Dudududu!" The game officially begins.

Jiang Dongbing sat quietly on the sidelines. He was more like a spectator tonight, paying attention to Iverson's performance on the court.

This is Jiang Dongbing's first time watching Iverson play live. As an Iverson fan, this is an extremely rare opportunity.

However, although Jiang Dongbing is considered a fan of Iverson, he is different from some fans. He is not the kind of fan who brags without thinking.

Iverson is not flawless in Jiang Dongbing's mind. Take defense as an example. Although Iverson has a lot of steals, his real defensive performance is almost at the level of a colander.

What really makes Jiang Dongbing like Iverson is the unruly and heroic temperament of this little player. In addition, Iverson is also a grateful player. At his retirement ceremony, he personally thanked the Chinese fans.

.

Making money from Chinese fans while scolding Chinese fans behind their backs is something many NBA players are doing.

…

In the first offensive round, Miller got the ball for the Grizzlies.

Both Billups and Jackson were specifically instructed by Jiang Dongbing before the game to try to give up some of the ball to O'Neill or Lewis tonight.

After Billups controlled the ball in the frontcourt, he passed the ball directly to O'Brien, and then several other players opened up the space to create singles opportunities for O'Brien.

Xiao Ou's face tightened, and he asked himself to fight the shot-blocking monster Ratliff alone? Are you sure this is not embarrassing yourself?

However, the ball was already in hand, and Xiao Ao could only work hard to prepare for this singles match.

Outside the three-second zone, Xiao Ou lowered his focus and pushed back, and surprisingly found that he had easily pushed Ratliff away. Then, as if on a conditioned reflex, he turned around, took a step, and directly put the ball into the basket.

After scoring this goal, Xiao Ou himself was shocked. How easy it was to score a goal? Is the effect of the special training a few days ago really so terrifying?

You must know that you are not facing some stinky tomato or rotten bird's egg, but the league's top shot blocker. You didn't expect that you would be scored so easily.

This goal directly gave Xiao O's confidence, and he was no longer frightened by the subsequent passes from his teammates. They all looked for Ratliff for singles.

Although Ratliff also blocked a shot during this process, Xiao Ou, who has been successful in singles many times, no longer cares about this.

In just ten minutes of the first quarter, O'Brien had already scored ten points from Ratliff, and he also had four rebounds!

The 76ers' interior combination has a very poor rebounding level and is definitely at the bottom of the league. O'Neill and Miller played too comfortably tonight.

Jiang Dongbing immediately called a timeout, took Ou off to take a rest, and at the same time replaced Lewis, who was eager to try.

"How was it? How do you feel?" Jiang Dongbing asked Xiao Ao at the end with a smile.

Xiao Ao looked excited, "Coach, I feel great. My data in this game will definitely not disappoint you!"

"Okay, just don't disappoint me. If you disappoint me, you may not be able to start in the future." Jiang Dongbing joked with a smile.

Lewis came on the scene, and just the first offensive round was eye-catching.

Lewis's style is completely opposite to that of O'Brien. If O'Brien is Duncan, then Lewis is Nowitzki.

Lewis, who just came on the field, scored three points directly from outside the three-point line, helping the team successfully establish a double-digit advantage.

There are actually no fourth positions with Lewis's style in the league at present, but fourth positions like Lewis who are completely outside in terms of offensive end are extremely rare.

The main reason is that Lewis' offensive potential under the basket is too poor, with only 62 points. Even if he practices to the end, he will not be able to play any role on the court. Jiang Dongbing simply asked Lewis strictly before the game not to forget to drill under the basket.

In the second quarter of the game, the inside combination formed by Ou and Lewis showed their power to the delight of Grizzlies fans. They actually beat the 76ers inside and were unable to parry.

Jiang Dongbing completely relaxed, and now he can watch Iverson's performance with peace of mind.

Iverson actually played extremely hard tonight. Facing double-teams from Billups and Christie, the young Iverson was in so much pain that he could only use shooting as much as possible to end the offense.

Unfortunately, shooting is not Iverson's strong point, so his offensive efficiency on the court is not very good.

A smile gradually appeared on Jiang Dongbing's mouth. It was so easy to win this game. When there were a dozen super players in the lineup, the only thing he, the head coach, had to do was sit on the sidelines and wait for the game to end.

Larry Brown, who was sitting across the court, had a livid face at the moment, which was in sharp contrast to Jiang Dongbing's delighted smile.
Chapter completed!
