Chapter 242 The Unyielding Fighter
After the game between the Rockets and the 76ers officially started, Iverson started to fast break as soon as he got the ball. After the elf-like Iverson got the ball, he came to the Rockets' basket in a few strides Now, Ray Allen is the only one who can follow the defense at this time.
Although Iverson didn't dare to ignore this defender, he felt a little lax in his heart. After all, Ray Allen didn't start out by defending.
But what he didn't know was that Ray Allen's defense was not good. That's because the Rockets have too many strong defensive players. Horry, Garnett, Ben, Olajuwon, and Saulius are not defensive. Daren, does such a strong defensive lineup still need Ray Allen to defend?Obviously not needed.
But someone who was coached by Drexler and abused by Michael Jordan, the defense will be so weak, this is an obvious problem.
Iverson, who was holding the ball, came to the basket and tried to cheat Ray Allen's center of gravity, and then completed a layup by himself, ending the battle.
However, he underestimated Ray Allen too much. Ray Allen saw through Iverson's tricks at a glance, but Ray Allen was also cunning and cunning. A person can be cunning and cunning.
Ray Allen strode forward and seemed to be thrown off his center of gravity. When Iverson saw it, he was overjoyed. He knew that his fellow student had been fooled.
Then, Iverson pulled the ball, stopped his footsteps and made an emergency jump shot, a very standard action, but at the moment of his shot, a big hand appeared accurately on the flight path of the basketball, and everyone was shocked. Hearing a 'snap', it was the sound of the palm of the hand being accurately drawn on the basketball.
All the fans of the 76ers were stunned at this moment. Ray Allen of the Rockets slapped their idol hard. God, why did this happen.
Iverson, who was standing still, just stared blankly at Ray Allen. After 5 seconds, Iverson came to his senses and said to Ray Allen, "You see through."
Ray Allen said coldly: "Yes, I see through."
Iverson asked a stupid question, and I heard him ask: "Why can you see through."
And Ray Allen's answer was also very silly, Ray Allen replied: "Because, I can see through."
While the two were having an ancient dragon-style dialogue, the other players on both sides had already reacted quickly and began to prepare for the next attack and defense.
Seeing the position of his teammates, Iverson took a deep breath, suppressed his irritability, looked at Ray Allen coldly and said, "Man, you will regret it today."
Ray Allen smiled lightly and said, "I never know what regret is."
Seeing Ray Allen and Iverson already on the line, Lao Tang said on the sidelines in a voice he could only hear: "Go, Ray, you are also a fighter. Allen's fighting spirit is ostentatious, and your fighting spirit You are indeed restrained, and it is time to let everyone know that you are a fighter."
Scott Brooks, who was sitting beside Lao Tang, shrugged his shoulders in a strange way talking to himself, and continued to hold a large notebook, remembering something.
After the start of the game, Iverson played more fiercely, often holding the ball directly into the inside line of the Rockets.
Big Ben and Garnett in the Rockets are both masters in blocking shots, but looking at the little man jumping on the floor, there is always a lot of helplessness in his heart. He obviously thinks that the ball he can touch is always far away from your fingertips. The tip flew over with only a trace, and then got into the basket accurately.
And Ray Allen also made the backcourt players of the 76ers have a headache. If Snow went to defend against Ray Allen, then Iverson would be pushed back by the big-ass Mark Jackson. If Snow went to defend against Mark Jackson If it is, then Iverson will be raped by Ray Allen, and his height has become Iverson's biggest hidden danger.
However, if Iverson gives up like this, then he is not Iverson. Watching the Rockets always break through him, Iverson still bites the top, no matter if it is Ray Allen or Mark Jackson He never backed down, because he knew that if he wanted to survive in the league, then he could only fight tenaciously. If he didn't fight, the only thing that greeted him was being eliminated.
The first quarter of the game ended with Iverson's desperate offense. Iverson, who scored 14 points in a single quarter, was panting heavily on the sidelines. After returning to the sidelines, Larry Brown looked at Iverson Sen's state, whispered to Iverson: "Allen, you have to trust your teammates, you and they will bear the pressure for you, you have to know that it is too tiring to carry the team forward alone, Jordan You still have Pippen next to you, don't you believe your teammates?"
Iverson looked at his head coach and said softly: "Larry, do you think I have Pippen by my side? I only have an enlarged version of Rodman by my side."
Larry Johnson was silent, and could only sigh and said: "Okay, Alan, I know what you think, but you have to know that these are beyond our control, understand? In addition, we are looking for a superstar , how do you get along with each other, don't you understand your character?"
After hearing this, Iverson also shook his head helplessly.
Seeing that Iverson was not talking, Larry Brown sighed and began to explain the tactics of the second quarter.
Although Iverson listened to Larry Brown's tactics very seriously off the court, Iverson returned to the court and was used to controlling the offense by himself.
However, in the distribution of the ball, Iverson still made some concessions. In some cases, Iverson can pass the ball, but at the most critical time, Iverson still habitually chooses to believe in himself.
The Rockets opposite him are another scene. The Rockets' possession of the ball is constantly changing. Although they also have a core, their Rockets players are used to sharing the possession of the ball in normal times. Basketball will only appear in the hands of Garnett or Ray Allen, and even Bodi Loga only has the right to participate but not to decide at the most critical time.
The overall offense of the Rockets suppressed the offense of the 76ers. Although Iverson still attacked the inside of the Rockets again and again, the Rockets really had too many spare tires inside, and his killing tactics were not very effective. During the impact again and again, Iverson's physical strength was rapidly disappearing.
Larry Brown can only look helplessly at this kind of attack. In fact, Larry Brown doesn't like strongmen like Iverson the least, but besides relying on Iverson, who else can the current 76ers rely on? Mutom Bo’s defense is excellent, but let’s not mention the offense. Why the Eagles always get out in the second round of the playoffs is because their offense can’t pose a threat to strong teams, and the defense of strong teams is no better than The Eagles are poor. This is the deep-seated reason why the Eagles are always kicked home in the second round.
Looking at the strong overall strength of the Rockets, such a team is Larry Brown's favorite team.However, Rudy Tomjanovich has almost become a symbol of the Rockets, and he has no chance.
However, the 76ers are not bad either. They have background and history. It depends on how they operate. Isn't the Rockets the same.Moreover, history has not been as long as Philadelphia.
The second quarter of the game between the two sides ended like this. The Rockets relied on their overall strength to firmly suppress the 76ers. Only relying on Snow, George Lynch and Mutombo could not be against the current team. Rockets pose too much of a threat.
And Iverson, who is used to controlling the ball by himself, can't reach that level of invincibility. Under the opponent's special tactics and the defense of specific personnel, Iverson played quite hard.
At the end of the second quarter, Iverson's physical strength had already been consumed a lot. If he continued to play like this, he could only last one quarter.
Just when the Rockets players thought Iverson would take a break in the third quarter, Iverson dragged his tired body and played the whole quarter at once.
Looking at Iverson who was about to fall at any time, Larry Brown couldn't sit still anymore, and Larry Brown said loudly on the sidelines: "Allen, you just played in the second quarter and took a 5-minute break. You have to rest in the fourth quarter, or I won't let you play."
Already drenched in sweat, Iverson just looked at Larry Brown indifferently, without saying anything, just watched indifferently.
Larry Brown looked at Iverson uncompromisingly, and the two looked at each other for a full minute before Iverson said leisurely: "Coach, my teammates need me, and I'm off at this time, that is Conceded defeat to the opponent."
Larry Brown also said loudly: "That's not okay, you will be easily injured if you play like this."
When Iverson heard this, he laughed and said: "Thank you for your concern, coach. What I think about now is not the problem of injury. What I think about now is how to win this game. The difference between us and the Rockets is only 5 points. Although we We are suppressed, but we still have a chance, I believe that the Rockets can never make mistakes, their players will not be mentally stressed after maintaining a high-intensity game for 3 quarters, I absolutely do not believe it."
Looking at the extremely stubborn Iverson, Larry Brown rubbed his temples in pain and thought bitterly: Why is there such a strong man in my team.
After stabilizing his mood, Larry Brown said, "Alan, you can play, but you can only play for 3 minutes. After that, you will be off the court. You will play in the last 5 minutes. We will have a decisive battle with the Rockets in the last 5 minutes. "
Iverson agreed after a little thought. He likes to fight, but he is not a fool, and what he wants is the final victory.
However, the arrangement of fate is obviously not what people can stop. In the second minute of the opening of the fourth quarter, Iverson was severely knocked out of the baseline. Iverson broke into the inside line again and was shot. Da Ben, who stepped forward to seal the cover, directly bumped out.
Iverson, who was knocked out, was rolling on the floor holding his right hand in pain. Iverson's face was already distorted by the pain, but Iverson still tried his best to hold back the pain and not let himself make a sound.
Seeing this situation, Larry Brown could only replace Iverson and let the team doctor take him to the locker room for examination.
And watching Iverson's injured appearance, the morale of the 76ers was severely hit, because they had lost hope.The Rockets took advantage of this opportunity to quickly increase the score between the two sides to more than 15 points. At this time, everyone thought that the game would end like this, and many fans had already left early.
And these fans who left have missed a legend that will be remembered forever, and that is a legend that belongs to only one person.
