Iguodala advanced to the frontcourt and glanced at his big brother, his eyes conveying a desire to make a play. Iverson drew Felton away, creating space.
With a record of 37 wins and 42 losses, the 76ers had lost hope of making the playoffs earlier in the month, and Iverson had already started letting Iguodala handle the ball more in attack, hoping that Iguodala would grow rapidly.
In the competition for scoring champion with Kobe, Iverson had given up last month, finding Kobe's scoring ability a bit too exaggerated.
Iguodala, excited, broke through!
Zhang Yang didn't choose to block but rather covered the middle lane, allowing Iguodala to take the right lane, keeping close behind.
Iguodala drove in close... and encountered a double-team by Okafor and Zhang Yang. He forced a layup to avoid Zhang Yang's interference and threw the ball... it missed!
