Zhang Hao easily defeated the unmotivated Derrick Coleman in the jump ball and immediately sprinted forward after landing.
The 76ers still had some players who were very active on defense, like Clarence Weatherspoon, the player who had received the most trade inquiries from other teams since the season started. He aggressively blocked Barkley's fast break, but others... Zhang Hao cut into the paint, Iverson already retreated, but could only watch Zhang Hao use his height to easily receive the ball, jump, and dunk to score two points.
It was easy, even though the 76ers had secured 9 wins, better than the last-place Celtics' record, their actual strength might be about the same as the Celtics, and they didn't have the same level of energy when facing the Lakers.
Instead, players like Starkhouse and Coleman lacked any fighting spirit.
But Iverson was very active!
