【Box-1很好，勇於拆招更好】
在最近 Nate Bjorkgren 的諸多外電報導中，很多篇提到暴龍去年和勇士對決的總冠軍賽，滾總建議對勇士最強的得分手 S.Curry 祭出「Box-1」，由 Fred VanVleet 主守 Curry，暴龍另外四人守區域聯防，這個策略得到很好的效果，但暴龍能這樣出招，也是因為當時勇士的 KD、K湯都缺陣，剩下的球員得分能力都不是很好，也因此可以用 Box-1 賭看看封神。
如果是溜馬來執行的話，去追著 Curry 跑的應該是 Oladipo，另外四人小沙、Turner、Warren、總統守區域，這很考驗溜馬兩個長人的移動力和換防判斷，雖然現在功力顯然是不夠的，但希望在滾總的要求和調教下，溜馬球員的防守功力可以好好鍛鍊升級。
然後不是因為暴龍最後有奪冠成功，所以回頭來稱讚滾總的佈陣建議真是先知，而是「針對對手弱點嚴加打擊」是季後賽要關關難過關關過的不二法則，滾總當助教時就這麼敢提建議，Nurse 和他真是好搭擋（充分的信任），希望滾總來到溜馬可以繼續發揮他的洞察力，和球員們一起解開一個又一個的難題。
#終於有一個會變陣拆招的教練了

Allen Iverson had every reason to feel good after his performance kept Philadelphia close to the division lead.
Surely the mood changed when the Sixers All-Star found out he was injured.
Iverson outperformed Kobe Bryant, scoring 36 points and leading a decisive third-quarter run in the 76ers' 108-91 win over the Los Angeles Lakers on Tuesday night.
Iverson helped pull the Sixers (31-33) to four games of Boston for first place in the Atlantic Division.
"It made me feel good," Iverson said. "Any win makes me feel good."
Iverson, though, chipped a bone in his left thumb sometime in the second half and will be fitted for a cast. He is day-to-day. The Sixers said Iverson will be re-evaluated Friday when they play again at Cleveland.
Iverson left the arena before the injury was announced.
The Sixers certainly need the league's leading scorer if they're going to make any kind of run at the Celtics.
"We would like to have that (winning) streak right now," said Iverson, before he knew the X-ray results.
Andre Iguodala scored 15 points for the Sixers, adding a few more spectacular dunks, including an alley-oop where he came crashing down on Jumaine Jones. Kyle Korver had 14.
Bryant -- who came in trailing Iverson by nearly two points in the league scoring race -- led the Lakers with 20 points, but had little help. The Lakers (32-31) fell out of the eighth and final spot in the Western Conference.
Bryant made five of nine shots in the first quarter, but went 1-for-6 the rest of the game.
"We've got to get more people involved," Bryant said. "They were doubling me and the shots weren't falling."
Iguodala had plenty to do with that. The Sixers rookie kept a hand in Bryant's face most of the game and aggressively contested his shots. Iguodala said he watched plenty of tape to prepare for one of his toughest assignments.
"I knew if I kept my hands up and kept nagging him a little bit that I could make him take a tougher shot," Iguodala said.
Bryant scored 16 points in the first quarter and Iverson had 14 as the two seemed poised for a one-on-one showdown between All-Stars. But Bryant slowed down, thanks largely to the sticky defense by Iguodala, while Iverson kept driving and crashing.
Iverson scored 14 points during a 26-9 run in the third quarter by doing what he does best -- drive the lane, look for the layup and get to the line. When he couldn't do that, Iverson would dribble around the perimeter until he found an open look.
He took six of Philadelphia's 16 shots in the third (making three) and went 7-for-7 from the line. Overall, Iverson went 14-for-15 from the line and 10-for-22 from the floor.
On one fallaway layup from the right side, Iverson was fouled by Chucky Atkins. Atkins bitterly complained and was hit with two quick technicals and ejected from the game.
Korver sank the two free throws for a 66-50 lead. Rodney Rogers hit a 3-pointer near the end of the third, giving Philadelphia a 28-point lead.
Chris Webber again was a non-factor for the Sixers. He scored Philly's first two baskets of the game, sat out 5 minutes of the second quarter and missed his last six shots for five points.
Webber remained baffled as to why he has looked little like the five-time All-Star he was in Sacramento. Of course, watching Iverson take a bulk of the shots and not having coach Jim O'Brien call plays for Webber might have something do with his struggles.
"I don't want to put my finger on it," Webber said. "It's not because it's late in the season. I didn't become this player in one day."
Game notes
Bryant, who went to nearby Lower Merion High School, needed about 30 tickets. Among those invited were players on this year's Merion team and his former coach, Gregg Downer. Lower Merion plays in the Class AAAA state semifinals Wednesday night. Bryant said he loved playing in Philadelphia, even though he's always booed. "If I played here, they'd love it with the Philly attitude I have," he said. "But I enjoy coming here because of that." ... The Sixers are 17-10 when Iverson scores 30 or more points
The last time the Philadelphia 76ers won 11 straight road games, Allen Iverson was 5 years old.
Iverson scored 30 points and pushed a frenetic pace as the 76ers tied a 21-year-old franchise record for consecutive road wins with a 114-98 victory over the Dallas Mavericks.
Philadelphia has not lost on the road since a 96-85 setback to the defending NBA champion Los Angeles Lakers on December 5. Its 18-4 road mark is the league's best and represents more wins than nine teams' totals for the entire season.
"It's hard on the road," Iverson said. "You've got to concentrate a lot more on the road. It's the toughest environment to play in. So you have to be focused and I think we've been real focused on the road. We understand everything is not going to go our way. We understand that we've got to keep playing for 48 minutes."
The 76ers tied a club record set from October 15-November 26, 1980, when the stars were Julius Erving, Andrew Toney and Maurice Cheeks, now an assistant coach with the club. They can break the mark Wednesday in Houston, which has a losing record at home.
"Coming into here, you know they beat us in Philly, and we were kind of shorthanded, not having (Rodney) Buford and Tyrone (Hill) to go with our other injuries," Sixers coach Larry Brown said. "It's been that way all year. We just find ways to win games and have guys step up and make valuable contributions."
"It's pretty good," forward Toni Kukoc said. "I think when you can win 11 games in a row on the road it tells you how good of a team we are. If we can keep our home court a little safer than what we've been doing, it would be nice."
Toni Kukoc scored a season-high 25 points for Philadelphia as he repeatedly knocked down open perimeter jumpers. He started for the flu-ridden Tyrone Hill and made 4-of-6 3-pointers.
"I was looking to pass the ball more than I was looking for my shot, then later on, I felt pretty comfortable shooting the ball," Kukoc said. "I had to find the good places and get open, especially when they started doubling. I spaced the court and my teammates found me and I hit the shots."
George Lynch added 16 points and 13 rebounds for the Sixers, who had six players in double figures and shot 54 percent from the field as they avenged a 112-94 home loss to Dallas on December 15.
In that game, Mavericks forward Dirk Nowitzki scored 36 points on 13-of-19 shooting. But the German sensation was held to 15 on 4-of-12 this time as Dallas had a three-game winning streak snapped.
"We just defended much better than we did in Philly but it didn't matter, I mean they were on fire in Philly," Brown said. "It wasn't just Dirk. I thought everybody on their team had a terrific game and made open shots. Today we stayed at home a little bit more. We didn't gamble quite as much or look to double-team as much."
"I didn't really get any open looks today," Nowitzki said. "Somebody was always standing by me. They did a great job defensively and you've got to give them credit."
Michael Finley had 27 points and a franchise-record 10 steals for the Mavs, who have lost five of the last six meetings with the Sixers.
"Gary (Mavs forward Gary Trent) talked to a couple of the Sixers yesterday that he's good friends with," Finley said. "That's all they kept saying was how we embarrassed them in Philadelphia. That was on their minds and it showed. They didn't give up. They came out and defended us."
Coming off a 51-point game against Toronto on Sunday, Iverson came out flying and never slowed down. He made 12-of-16 free throws and five steals as he cheated the passing lanes on defense and went hard to the basket on offense, forcing the tempo.
"He's one of the best players in the league," Finley said. "The way he handles the ball and as many times as he has the ball, he's always a threat. He's been playing well. He's been carrying this team."
Iverson scored 17 points in the first half, when Philadelphia led by as many as 13 before settling for a 51-48 halftime edge. Dallas tied it, 57-57, on a jumper by Steve Nash with 9:10 to go in the third quarter before the Sixers took control.
Iverson fed Lynch for a layup and made a pair of buckets. A 3-pointer by Kukoc and a jumper by Aaron McKie completed the 11-0 surge and gave Philadelphia a 68-57 lead with 6:32 left.
The Mavs got no closer than six points thereafter. They got within 77-71 late in the period but Kukoc made a 3-pointer. They closed to 71-75 early in the fourth quarter but a layup by Ratliff and a jumper by Kukoc rebuilt the lead to 10 points.
And when a free throw by former Sixer Shawn Bradley made it 85-79 with 8:41 remaining, Philadelphia sealed it with a 17-5 surge. Kukoc had another 3-pointer and capped it with a jumper for a 102-84 lead with 3:13 to go.
"Kukoc played well tonight," Finley said. "Toni was definitely the X factor that put them over the hump. If he plays like that, that team will easily be in the Eastern Conference finals."
The Philadelphia 76ers enjoyed a great March, and it got them in the playoffs.
Allen Iverson scored 14 of his 42 points in the fourth quarter and overtime as the 76ers clinched their fifth straight playoff berth by beating the Orlando Magic 118-113 Monday night.
"It's such a huge win for us,'' Philadelphia coach Larry Brown said. "It caps off a big month for us where we had 12 road games and four home games and ended up going 11-5, which is pretty special.''
Added Iverson: "It's good to know we're in (the playoffs) because the East is so crazy. You lose a couple of games here or there, and you go from in to out.''
The 76ers won for the fourth time in five games, and for the fourth straight time on the road, to move a game ahead of idle Indiana for third place in the East. Philadelphia also kept pace 1{ games behind New Jersey for the Atlantic Division lead. The Nets beat Houston 110-86 Monday.
Kenny Thomas had 24 points and 20 rebounds for his fifth double-double in the last six games, while Derrick Coleman added 18 points and 13 rebounds. Philadelphia had a 61-38 advantage on the boards, including a 24-12 margin in the final quarter and overtime.
"The Magic spread out and have a lot of people on the perimeter, so if they miss you should have a good chance to get the rebound,'' Brown said.
That's exactly what happened, as Orlando shot 29 percent (8-for-28) on 3-pointers.
"You look at the numbers and they're staggering,'' Orlando coach Doc Rivers said. "We held a team to 43 percent shooting with 26 offensive rebounds, so what it tells you is that you played great defense initially but you kept giving them the ball back and they kept scoring.''
For Orlando, Tracy McGrady had 39 points, 10 rebounds and nine assists, and Steven Hunter came off the bench for a season-high 15 points, plus seven rebounds and five blocks -- both career bests.
Gordan Giricek scored 12 of his 15 points in the first half for Orlando, while reserves Darrell Armstrong and Pat Garrity both added 13 points. The Magic bench had a 44-8 edge over Philadelphia's.
Orlando's primary centers, Shawn Kemp and Andrew DeClercq, combined for two points and one rebound in 19 minutes.
"I love our big men to death, but we've got to do something,'' McGrady said. "We can't allow a team to outrebound us by 23.''
Eric Snow had a putback dunk to open overtime, but McGrady countered with a free throw and turnaround jumper to give Orlando a 113-112 lead with 3:22 to go.
Iverson then hit two jumpers and Snow had two free throws as Philadelphia scored the last six points of the game. Orlando shot 1-for-6 in overtime, and 10-for-30 after the third quarter.
"I told our guys in the locker room that we just played playoff basketball -- and we didn't pass the first test,'' Rivers said.
The Magic have lost all four of their overtime games this season.
Philadelphia trailed 107-97 with 3:31 remaining following McGrady's three-point play -- Orlando's fifth of the final period.
But Coleman hit a jumper and 3-pointer on consecutive possessions, kicking off a game-tying 13-3 run. Snow's jumper with 32.9 seconds to go tied the game at 110. Snow had 16 points despite shooting 3-for-11.
Both teams missed opportunities to win in the closing seconds of regulation. On the final three possessions, McGrady missed a short runner, Thomas had Iverson's pass squirt through his hands and Jeryl Sasser missed a floater as time expired.
Sasser, a 32-percent shooter, wasn't supposed to have the ball but Philadelphia's defense did an excellent job of denial on McGrady. And with 1:12 left to play, the 76ers forced Orlando into a backcourt violation on another inbounds play.
"It's a dilemma and something we have to solve,'' Rivers said.
Game notes
Philadelphia center Samuel Dalembert has had consecutive practices with contact but there's no indication when he'll return, coach Larry Brown said. Dalembert has missed the entire season following left knee surgery in October. ... The last season the 76ers did not make the playoffs was 1997-98, Brown's first year in Philadelphia and Iverson's second. ... The 76ers lead the NBA in steals, with 10.18 per game. Against Orlando, they had nine. ... The game was a sellout, Orlando's fifth of the season.
