Chapter Seventy-Six: Killing Each Other in the Arena
The 76ers didn't get a chance to rest, and went directly to New York, in the East, New York's home court advantage is huge, and New York's sports atmosphere is ranked first even in the entire United States.
Although they were a little tired, the black-clothed assassins of the 76ers did not show the slightest fatigue, but enthusiastically wiped the weapons of the king-killing in their hands. Last season, the Black Assassins had revealed to the world their daggers under the black robes, they were assassins, not killers, just as the Assassins were not murderers who killed for money, they were black assassins who burned their lives for victory.
Iverson and Mo Xi stood on the court, the two of them passed by each other very tacitly, without saying a word, without making any gestures, just a simple look, that look, like looking at a pig and sheep to be killed, because the person in front of him was his enemy, the enemy he was going to kill in this game.
The game begins, both sides jump the ball,
The two centers from Georgetown stood on the halfway line to start their first showdown of the match.
In this game, there are two players from Georgetown on each side, not to mention anything else, this gimmick alone is enough to make Georgetown famous, but it is a pity that the coach who coached these four people at that time has retired, otherwise Georgetown will definitely harvest a large number of highly talented high school students this year.
Mutombo's height and arm span are much better than Moxi's, and even if Moxi struggles to jump, he can't grab Mutombo, and the 76ers win the right to attack first.
The 76ers' point guard, Snow, did not intend to execute the team's tactics in the first shot, but handed the ball to the team's star player, Iverson, who had just made a big splash in Orlando.
It's not too easy for a team that has a three-time scoring champion, but Iverson still struggled to do it.
Sprewell didn't stick to it, although Iverson's three-point shot is also a great deterrent, but even the deified pull-up jump shot, Iverson's shooting percentage is not very high, and his most terrifying thing is still the ability to break inside and score points.
Seeing that Sprewell's defensive position had some meaning of putting himself to shoot, Iverson couldn't help but put a little killing intent in his clear eyes, let me shoot, and prevent my breakthrough? Do you think that anyone can put down my breakthrough?
Iverson started his performance, a large cross-dribble, extremely fast, the ball hit the floor at once, but it sounded like it was smashed on his heart to Sprewell, in fact, Sprewell's defensive choice was very correct, but if Mo Xi was to choose, he would definitely stick it, because then at least there was a chance to fight, so that there was nothing.
Iverson suddenly changed direction and accelerated, choosing to break through on the right side, Sprewell's feet moved slightly, and he saw Iverson's rapid stop change of direction, Sprewell hurriedly deflected his center of gravity, and then saw Iverson pull the ball.
Left?
Rightward?
Sprewell's body and mind are disconnected, and as a result, Sprewell is shaken down and Iverson goes straight to the basket, where Moxi and Thomas have opened a huge net waiting for him.
Now that the three-second rule has been adopted, it's a natural sound for a breakout like Iverson.
Iverson threw himself into the arms of Murphy and Thomas, and rose to the challenge without fear.
For Iverson's fighting style of play, the Knicks also frowned, but the Knicks were also prepared, Thomas stepped forward, top defense, and Mo Xi made up the defense from the side, the main purpose of which is to avoid unnecessary fouls by Mo Xi, after all, the absolute core of the Knicks is Mo Xi, and Mo Xi still has the responsibility of sticking to the inside line, and the core of the 76ers Iverson is a good hand at breaking through, and the threat to Mo Xi is not much better than Mutombo.
In the face of Thomas, Iverson was not afraid, his body swayed in the air slightly, turned slightly sideways, pulled the lever, dodged Thomas, and in the face of Moxi's giant hand, Iverson added a spin to his hand, the ball hit the rebound directly, spun into the basket, and he fell directly to the ground.
The 76ers' first shot in the opening game gave the Knicks a huge deterrent, but the Knicks obviously didn't intend to leave it at that.
The Knicks naturally gave the ball as a return gift, but it was not as easy as Iverson to catch the ball, the entire 76ers focused their defense on him, Mark Jackson used his size advantage to get a certain amount of space and got a good passing opportunity, but at the moment of his pass, Iverson appeared, he clicked on the basketball, and the route of the ball changed.
Seeing this, Mo Xi hurriedly took a step forward, and under the huge pressure brought by Mutombo behind him, he pulled the ball off Iverson's hand.
Mo Xi put the ball on his chest without a pause, and stopping in this place is bound to get caught between Mutombo and Iverson, which is not good news.
Mo Xi first straightened his upper body, felt Mutombo's position with his back, and suddenly lowered his center of gravity, using his hips to directly push Mutombo, although it didn't have any effect, but it allowed Mo Xi to complete his movements smoothly, Mo Xi turned his back directly and walked the middle line to cut into the basket, this route allowed him to avoid Iverson, although he may encounter other 76ers defense, but that doesn't matter.
However, the current Mutombo is not old, and it is still a fantasy that Mo Xi wants to pass Mu Tombo so easily, and Mu Tombo took an arrow step and directly resisted Mo Xi, trying to force the other party to change the offensive line.
As Mutombo thought, he changed his offensive line, and directly turned around again, striding to the side of the basket, which was somewhat beyond Mutombo's expectations, but it was still within the latter's defensive range.
The biggest feature of Mutombo's defense is not that he has enough strength to even top O'Neal, but that he rarely shakes, even Olajuwon is difficult to shake Mutombo, because his size advantage is too great, and he doesn't need to make any predictions at all, just watch the opponent shoot, and then fan him.
Mo Xi also has a headache in the face of Mutombo, there is no absolute advantage in strength, and Mutombo can completely ignore this part with the advantage of height and arm span in terms of skills, but Mo Xi's offense is still resolute, this is like the contest between the western cowboys in the past, both sides are thinking about what the other party will do next, it is better to be faster than whom.
After Mo Xi turned around, he didn't stop his body, but took a step back, his center of gravity shifted, and he secretly changed his center of gravity and feet, floated back, and threw a backward jumper.
Mutombo had already stepped forward when he saw Mo Xi's figure floating backwards, and the two of them began the first wave of offensive and defensive duels.
"Huh~"
Mo Xi modified his shot trajectory this season to make his shot trajectory higher, and Mutombo also failed to touch the ball when defending Mo Xi's back, and was hollowed into the net by Mo Xi.
The leading big brothers of both sides each scored a wonderful goal, and everyone was full of fighting spirit.
Another big war began.
