<H1>Cheeks seeks to balance the game</H1><BR><FONT class=tsArticleByline>By TOM MOORE</FONT><BR><FONT class=tsAffiliation>phillyBurbs.com</FONT><BR><FONT class=tsBody>
<P>For the 76ers, it's all about finding the right balance.</P>
<P>While Allen Iverson, the league's leading scorer at 33.7 points per game, and Chris Webber (19.0) are the Sixers' primary offensive weapons, statistics suggest that the Sixers have better results when they share the wealth.</P>
<P>For example, the Sixers are:</P>
<P>*6-10 when Allen Iverson and Webber combine for 47 or more points, making them 5-1 when it doesn't happen;</P>
<P>*5-1 when Webber has at least five assists. </P>
<P>*6-0 when Kyle Korver has at least 14 points;</P>
<P>*4-1 when John Salmons scores a minimum of 14 points;</P>
<P>*3-0 when Andre Iguodala has at least 20;</P>
<P>*2-1 when Samuel Dalembert reaches double figures.</P>
<P>“When you have balance, everybody feels like they're in the game,” said Korver after yesterday's practice. “Whether you're scoring or not, you can always play defense and rebound, but it's easier when you feel involved on both ends. It's a lot more fun.”</P>
<P>The key is to keep Iverson and Webber productive, but not so much that the other Sixers are little more than afterthoughts.</P>
<P>“We have to make more of an effort to put the ball in other guys' hands,” said Sixers coach Maurice Cheeks. “We're a more dangerous team that way.”</P>
<P>Of course, if the 11-11 Sixers don't play at the other end of the court, they're going to struggle to beat anybody. And that includes tonight's opponent, the lowly Hawks, who were 3-16 prior to Tuesday's game in Cleveland.</P>
<P>“I don't worry about whether we get this guy 10 shots or that guy 10 shots,” Cheeks said. “If we defend the way we did (Monday against the Timberwolves) and rebound the way we did, we'll win some games.”</P>
<P>*</P>
<P>The league officially announced that the Sixers will be one of four NBA teams spending their training camp in Europe next fall.</P>
<P>The Sixers will hold camp in Barcelona, Spain. They are scheduled to face Winterthur FC Barcelona in an Oct. 6 exhibition game, then take on the Suns Oct. 10 in Cologne, Germany. </P>

<P>The winner of the Sixers-Suns game will face the winner of the Euroleague champion and the Euroleague runner-up on Oct. 11 in Cologne.</P>
<P>The Spurs and Clippers are the other NBA teams headed to Europe.</P>
<P>*</P>
<P>Cheeks gave Iverson and Webber the day off yesterday, and limited what Korver and Iguodala did. </P>
<P>Michael Bradley sat out again with a sore back. He apparently underwent an MRI, the results of which were not made available. Cheeks said he understood Bradley “may be out a week or 10 days.”</P>
<P>Kevin Ollie (bruised right knee) also didn't practice. X-rays on Ollie's knee and left fourth toe were negative.</P>
<P>Samuel Dalembert was bothered somewhat by his strained right quad, but participated in portions of the workout.</P>
<P>*</P>
<P>The question was posed to Cheeks: Which dunk was more impressive, Korver's in the fourth quarter of Monday's 90-89 overtime win over the Wolves or Cheeks' slam to put the exclamation point on the Sixers' 1983 title-clinching Game 4 victory over the Lakers?</P>
<P>Cheeks barely dunked during a 15-year NBA career, while Korver's, which came on a pretty bounce pass from Webber and resulted in a three-point play after he was fouled by Minnesota's Marko Jaric, was the second of his three pro seasons.</P>
<P>“Oh, mine was better than that,” said a smiling Cheeks. “It wasn't even close. His dunk and my dunk? Come on. </P>
<P>“He did dunk it, though — that's what was impressive about it. Kyle is 6-7 and I'm 6-feet, so he should have a better dunk.” </P>
<P> </P>
<P> </P>
<P> </P>
<P>정확한 해석을 부탁드리고 싶고요...</P>
<P> </P>
<P>음...</P>

<P>대충 승리 공식이 나오긴 하네요.</P></FONT>

첫댓글 그냥 수치일뿐.... 그런게 다 된다면 그선수만 훈련시키면 이긴다는식은 안되는건데;;; 그날 분위기가 나와야 이기는것을
원래 그런게 나옵니다. 선수들이 자신감 가지도록 말이죠. 그리고 칙감독이 바보도 아닌데 그걸 맹신할까요??? 대충 승리 공식이란 것은 모든 스포츠에 적용되는 것입니다.
그냥 이런식으로 경기를 풀어야 된다 뭐 그런거지, 그런거 안다고 실제로 되는것도 아니고, 그렇게 한다고 꼭 이기는 것도 아니고.. 그냥 현재 상황을 파악하는데 도움이 되는거죠. 앤써 평균득점을 보며 앤써가 날라다니고 있군, 평가하는 것 처럼 말이죠-
역시 젊은 피들이 잘해줘야 필라는 사는군요!
이궈달라랑 코버가 조낸 득점하면 이겼다는 소리; 오, 미네소타전은 못봤지만, 코버의 바스켓카운트 덩크로 역전시켜 이겼었나보죠?; 칙스가 센스있네요 ㅋㅋㅋ 코버가 미네소타전에서 보여줬던 덩크랑 자신이 1983 4차전에 보여줬던 덩크중에 어느덩크가 더 멋있었냐구 묻자;
당연히 내덩크가 멋지삼, 그것도 훨씬- 왜냐면 코버는 6-7이고, 난 6피트잖어, 그녀석은 그보다 훨씬 멋진 덩크를 했었어야했어; (-_-; 맞나요? 틀리면 뻘줌;)
미네소타랑은 코버덩크는 4쿼터쯤 나왔고..웨버때문에 연장갔었죠.ㅋㅋ앤써,웨버가 득점많을때 승률이 안좋은건 다른 선수들이 부진해서 그런거겠죠. 슛자체를 못쏘니 둘이 고생할 수 밖에..
