Chapter Seventy-Six: The Defensive War
On October 31, the Heat ushered in the first regular season game of the season.
Away game against Philadelphia 76ers.
The two sides who have already met once in the preseason are no strangers, and the 76ers still have Iverson as the offensive core.
This season, they traded for Glenn Robinson, the "big dog", to strengthen the offensive strength of the front line.
However, like Iverson, the "big dog" at the end of his career was also a person who greatly disliked training.
"Hey, boy, meet again!"
Before the game, Iverson walked up to Liu Hao and said: "I'm going to be serious this time, you have to pay attention!" β
"yes, then I'm going to be serious too." After speaking, Liu Hao also stepped on the "Liu Hao generation" of the first actual battle.
He didn't back down, and this was his first real confrontation with Iverson.
On the other hand, Wade is preparing for his debut, and I have to say that this person is definitely a big player, and he didn't panic at all in his debut, and he looked very relaxed.
In Liu Hao's previous life, the Heat lost the game 74-89, but the 21-year-old Wade played 41 minutes for the Heat, shooting 8 of 18 and 2 of 3 free throws, contributing 18 points, 4 rebounds and 4 assists, showing the demeanor of a star.
The 76ers start as usual:
Allen Iverson (point guard), Eric Snow (shooting guard), Glenn Robinson (small forward), Kenny Thomas (power forward), Samuel Delham Porter (center).
In the first regular season game, Iverson decided to open it his own way.
Facing Liu Hao, who is much taller than himself, Iverson likes it very much, and this kind of tall person is the easiest to break through!
The whole world knows that he wants to go to the right, but he just can't prevent it.
Liu Hao had also heard such rumors, so he simply let go of the left side directly to Iverson.
To be honest, Iverson was confused by Liu Hao's operation, what kind of defense is this Nima!
At this moment, his heart is probably the same as the feeling of Harden when he was defended by Rubio in the future.
Surprise you!
Not going to the left doesn't mean that the left is not good, Iverson easily passed Liu Hao, and then scored a jumper.
"Liu, what kind of defense are you doing!?"
Riley off the field is confused, how can there be a defender who is completely on the right side of others, you can also defend the left!
Liu Hao just laughed dryly at this, probably because his brain was pumped just now.
This kind of ball must have a response, and Liu Hao immediately pulled out to meet Iverson.
At that height, the "answer" could only be out of reach, watching Liu Hao score the ball.
"3-2, we're ahead!"
Iverson, who was provoked, secretly decided in his heart that he would set up a three-point cannon to do a fucking shot when he went back!
Liu Hao had already guessed that Iverson's character would definitely do this, so he kept an eye on Iverson's every move and didn't let him make a move easily.
The willful Iverson would never bow his head to Liu Hao, and after a pause, he retreated and forcibly made a move.
Bang Dangββ!
The wave has to be ready for the rejection of the basket.
However, the 76ers' rebounding champion Kenny Thomas pulled the ball out of Odom and Chandler's two big rebounders, and the ball was just picked up by "Big Dog".
How did this stylish and young Butler withstand Robinson's onslaught?
The latter forced his way inside to make a layup.
Back in the past, Liu Hao hit Iverson with his back to attract the bag, and then passed to Wade to also hit a layup.
The opening game was so hot that the passion of the fans at the scene was instantly ignited, and the shouts in the Wachovia Arena shook the sky.
Chinese fans on the other side of the ocean can't wait to turn on the TV, but today's live broadcast of the Houston game has not ended yet, and the game between the Heat and the 76ers can only be postponed.
Watching Da Yao complete a beautiful dunk on the screen, everyone applauded loudly while still thinking about the Heat's game in their hearts.
In the Wajovia Arena, unlike the screaming and shouting just now, the current arena is back to a tepid state.
After scoring those goals in the opening game, it was time for the two sides to compete for the iron.
Bang dang!
Bang Dangββ!
......
I thought that today would be a hearty offensive battle, but I didn't expect it to turn into a defensive battle in the end!
From the spectator's point of view, defense is perhaps the most boring thing.
However, the players on the court are tired of it, and fierce defense is the basis for winning and the real charm of the NBA!
76ers shooting guard Snow shook off Wade and got to the basket to make a layup.
Syllable!
A figure suddenly appeared behind him and fanned the ball away.
Looking back, it turned out to be Wade!
Liu Hao was stunned on the side, this cap ability is worthy of being a person who can generate skills!
"Hot pot!"
Haslem jumped up excitedly off the field, speaking Chinese that only Liu Hao and Wade could understand.
Wade, who won the ball, rushed quickly across the field, passing the defenders at lightning speed and passing the ball to Liu Hao, who followed up.
The latter chased down a three-point shot!
It was at this time that CCTV-5 was transferred to the Heat's game.
"Good ball, it seems that Xiao Liu played very well today!"
Director Zhang's familiar voice sounded, and Sun Zhengping on the side immediately analyzed the data, "Well, the shooting rate of both sides is not high today, Liu Hao shot 2 of 6, 2 of 3 three-pointers, and scored 4 points, no, it's 6 points!" β
Fans directly ignored Sun Zhengping's mistakes, and then looked at the score, 12:13, the Heat temporarily lead, and Nima was about to finish the first quarter and only scored so many goals!
"Hey, why do you feel that Liu Hao seems to have become a little bigger, is it an illusion?"
"It seems to be alas!"
β......β
At the same time, the fans in front of the TV all asked the same question, after all, the Internet is not as developed as it will be in the future, so they have no idea what Liu Hao has experienced in the offseason.
was scored by Liu Hao, and Iverson naturally wanted to return it.
With little time left until the end of the first quarter, Iverson intends to settle the gap first.
"Look, Liu Hao is going to be one-on-one with Iverson, that's Iverson!"
"Liu Hao has a height advantage, so it shouldn't be so easy to be ......"
Before that's all he says, Iverson has a c
ossove
Just get rid of Liu Hao.
Odom had been waiting for Iverson early, but even if he jumped with all his might, he couldn't touch Iverson's super throw.
There were still two minutes left before the end of the first quarter.
Odom came to the low post to ask for the ball, which was intended to use him to free Liu Hao and Wade at the same time.
Two people are running at the same time to score, so whoever defends will have a hard time.
Iverson's defensive fighting spirit is still quite high, but it is still a little difficult to chase after this kind of blocking.
In particular, the person he defended was Liu Hao, who relied on his height advantage to resist Iverson and hit inside.
Thomas, who was on the side, saw the moment and decided to give the yellow-skinned defender a big hat.
Liu Hao, who would throw the pot at this time, didn't even look behind him, he just needed to throw the ball to the back of his head, and Odom took off and dunked it!
"What a ball, it's worthy of Brother Hao!"
"This ball is so handsome, I want to learn it too!"
β......β
"Xiao Liu's ball is very reasonable, at this time...... Alas, show him one in the back of the head! Zhang Weiping imitated Liu Hao's movements while explaining.
Don't ask, it's reasonable to ask.
The 76ers also began to steal points, and no matter what, everyone wanted to go into the second quarter with an advantage.
Iverson broke through and faced Liu Hao and Butler's sandwich, and this time he chose to pass.
"Big Dog" Robinson got the ball and swept towards the basket with his explosive body, menacing.
Seeing that the Heat's interior line was about to be wreaked havoc, at this time, Chandler's giant hand stretched out.
Smackββ!
"Hot Pot ββ!"
On the bench, Haslem simply burst into laughter.
Blocking the 76ers' ball, the Heat passed the ball to Wade to launch a fast break.
With less than six seconds left, it would be a good opportunity for the Heat to open up the gap if they scored again.
Wade pushed forward, with Liu Hao, Butler, and Odom close behind.
The Flash smashed the Yellow Dragons, disrupted the 76ers' formation and passed the ball to Butler, who jumped to end the game with a dunk.
However, snap ββ!
Thomas on the inside of the 76ers pressed Butler down with a dunk.
"What a defense!"
"This cap is simply cool!"
β......β
The fans on the other side of the ocean were amazed, it seems that it is not for nothing that there are so few goals today, this defense is really strong!
