Chapter 69: Against Iverson
In a rare move, Nelson called the team's first timeout with less than five minutes to go. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
"You, or you, what are you worried about? Do you have 'melons' (World War II grenades) in your hands? Throw the ball out of your hand and throw it at the basket, don't worry that the ball will explode, and even if it does, it won't kill anyone. And you, Dirk, to let you play inside isn't about keeping you in there, not going to fight that alcoholic guy (Glenn?). Robinson has been a long-term alcoholic) to fight for strength, even if he is asleep, he is stronger than you, give full play to your advantages, be able to catch the ball and shoot, don't have extra movements, he can't cover you, he is more than ten centimeters shorter than you. ”
In this game, it was not the center of the 76ers who defended Nowitzki, Haitian Dalem Porter, but Glenn? Robinson came to defend and Durham Porter was tall enough but couldn't follow Nowitzki to the perimeter defense, which was a measure taken by the 76ers against the Mavericks' more outside shots, after all, Nowitzki's three-point shooting was more threatening than Jamison.
Nielsen was unceremoniously critical of some of the underperforming players.
"Liu, next you take over the attack, don't hesitate, shoot when you should, don't care about anything else, what we have to do now is first to get back the score, and then overtake them, falling behind will make them mess up."
Nelson is also a little dissatisfied with Liu Hangang's overly selfless performance at the beginning, other teams often have conflicts because of the problem of ball possession, but there is no such problem in the Mavericks, but sometimes Liu Han will be a little too selfless.
After the timeout, the Mavericks sent the ball in the frontcourt, and Liu Han received the ball from Odom on the sideline and dribbled to ignore Iverson's pressing and shoot a three-point shot, the ball brushed into the frame, and the Mavericks recovered the three points.
The 76ers adopted a reverse thinking approach to Liu Han's defense in this game, and they guarded against others and let Iverson follow Liu Han, similar to the Pistons' tactics against Jordan back then.
The next 76ers' offense met the Mavericks' tight defense, and Iverson struggled to get the ball under Liu Han's close pressing, but fortunately Anthony? Walker changed his mind and began to pass, but this time Robinson's low-post single was interfered with by Jamison and deflected off the basket, and Dyrem Porter also tried to grab the rebound in the front court to launch a second attack, but Odom rushed to grab the rebound and scored, and the Mavericks immediately launched a counterattack.
Liu Han quickly went down to the 76ers halfcourt and received a long throw from Odom, and Iverson also tried to take advantage of Liu Han's unstable foothold to regain the ball, but was squeezed aside by Liu Han's shoulder.
Liu Han, who accelerated and rushed up, faced the empty basket of seven or six people and scored a direct windmill dunk, and the Mavericks recovered five points in less than 30 seconds.
The Mavericks began to gain momentum, and at the same time, they became more and more courageous with the cheers of the home fans.
At this point, Iverson could no longer resist the impulse in his heart, and he began to take the ball from the back to the front court to attack himself.
Liu Han was blocked by the cover of the Haitians, and Iverson also hit three-point shots without hesitation, although Iverson's way of playing has been criticized by the outside world, but in fact, his three-point shooting is still of a certain level.
The core of the two sides began to really match each other, this time it was different from the last game of the Mavericks and the Knicks, the last game of the Knicks Marbury was a rookie, not a pure core, but this game of Liu Han and Iverson is a matchup between the real core.
Liu Han's single defense ability is very powerful, but this can't stop the 76ers from almost the whole team from playing for Iverson, Iverson's private and heroic way of doing things makes most of the 76ers actually quite recognize him, which has nothing to do with on the court.
However, in comparison, after all, Liu Han is more efficient, the offensive and defensive speed of the 76ers is still not comparable to that of the Mavericks, and Liu Han is more likely to shoot three-pointers, Iverson is worse, the three-point is not stable enough, and the efficiency will definitely decrease if he breaks into the basket.
Toward the end of the first quarter, the Mavericks took the lead by five points.
After that, the two teams began to gradually replace the substitutes, and Liu Han and Iverson also came off the field one after another.
The first half of the second quarter was a stalemate, with the 76ers trading for rookie John Brown last season. Salmons has been outstanding, showing good potential on both ends of the floor, especially in the breakaway.
The Mavericks bench also has a brilliant performance, Xue Yuyang has changed a lot after half a season of training, although he can't be compared with other players in the confrontation, but his stable mid-range shooting still reflects his value, he has Josh Howard next to him to break through to attract defense, and Korver three-point space to open up, which gives him enough space for mid-range shooting.
Five minutes into the second quarter, the score was 47-41, with the Mavericks leading by six points.
Iverson and Durham Porter immediately returned to the court, and the Mavericks also made-for-tat substitutions.
Compared with the first quarter, Iverson played more strongly in the next game, although after several years of games, his body has been full of scars, but he is still like a fighter like a fighter again and again rushed into the Mavericks' basket, even if this impact is like "Don Quixote" at some times, this is probably the reason why Iverson can have so many fans, in the NBA's muscle jungle, this small man is like no one, fans will naturally love this player whose height is not much different from himself.
Liu Han tried his best to defend Iverson in defense, but after all, the opponent was covered by teammates, and he couldn't keep up with the whole process, and the rest of the Mavericks really couldn't compare with Iverson in terms of speed, so Iverson seemed omnipotent on the court, but in fact, the gap between the score of the 76ers and the Mavericks was gradually widening.
Liu Han was known for his three-point accuracy when he first entered the NBA, and he still holds the record for the most points scored in an All-Star Game three-point contest, although this record may not be broken until the three-point contest is restructured or the league adds a four-point line.
In this game with the 76ers, the opponent used the "Jordan Rule" to defend Liu Han, which gave Liu Han enough space to shoot three-pointers, and Iverson couldn't do anything to defend it, because Liu Han almost shot farther and farther.
Glenn who still wants to steal the show in the first quarter? Robinson and Anthony? Walker has become a supporting role at this time, and the Mavericks players try to open up space for Liu Han, which is probably an unconventional game, because there are few such core players in the league now, team basketball is easy to win, but the matchup of individual heroism is more attractive to enthusiastic fans.
