Chapter 144: Why Can't You Prevent It?

Iverson hit a three-pointer to surprise Rivers.

It's really because in Iverson's entire career, the three-point shot is not a skill he relies on to survive, and it is not good to compare with a super three-point shooter like Ray Allen, and it is also inferior to a three-point expert like Paul Pearce.

But it went in.

Rivers doesn't believe it's his own defensive problem, and Iverson's three-point shooting rate this year is only a little more than 3 percent.

Rondo looked over, and Rivers waved his hand, signaling to attack like this.

Rondo gave the ball to Garnett in the low post, Garnett singled Gasol, turned and missed a jumper, and Durham Porter protected the rebound.

Fans felt that the Celtics had missed several offensive shots, and the 76ers had just thrown a morale-boosting three-point shot, and there was a commotion in their hearts.

The increased decibels represent the atmosphere of the entire court, and with this kind of cheering of the 76ers, the players' enthusiasm is surging and their state is improving.

At this time, what the king can rely on tomorrow is Iverson.

The super scorer is in this kind of game, when other players are being constrained by defense, he can still step up and score, in his own way, regardless of the system.

So Iverson arc top against Rondo, the pressure on the Celtics is all on this sophomore rookie.

At that time, Rondo was only 22 years old.

Sweat ran down the young man's forehead down his cheeks, and he opened his proud arms and stood on his knees, not daring to be careless.

"Smack~"

"Smack~"

The basketball was beating on the ground, and when Iverson bent over, the sound became more rapid.

One by one, it struck straight on Rondo's heart, and his eyes widened.

But at that moment, Iverson started, broke through on the right side, and the speed at peak speed tore through the Celtic defense in an instant, occupying an absolute advantage from Rondo's side.

Among the outside lines, the breakthrough is so fierce, and the strongest in today's league are Iverson and Wade.

Rondo slid sideways, and Iverson stepped out with his left foot, increasing his speed and dodging in, attracting Garnett to come and wrap up.

Split the ball, Gasol responded, Iguodala received the ball again, covered with his hand and shook off Pierce, and rushed in against Rondo, who was defending him at this time.

Although Rondo has long arms, the confrontation at this time is average, and it is pushed away by such an unreasonable and savage breakthrough as Iguodala.

Garnett didn't dare to let go of Iverson, and Iguodala went straight to the basket.

This Perkins' help defense is average, and Iguodala is successful in playing the board.

The 76ers took a five-point lead in an instant!

Rivers was furious, very dissatisfied with the Celtics' performance on the court, stood up and roared, spread his hands, and didn't know who he was yelling at.

At the suggestion of the assistant coach, Rivers called a timeout.

The arena erupted in strong cheers, cheering the 76ers' offensive and defensive waves.

"What's going on, why can't you prevent it all of a sudden?"

Rivers approached Rajon Rondo and pointed the finger directly at the young lad.

Rondo instinctively frowned, very dissatisfied with Rivers' yelling, glanced at Rivers, but did not speak.

Rivers didn't really want Rondo to explain, but he had a bad temper, and after yelling like this, he appeared more authoritative in front of the players, and he could ring the players' alarm bells.

The 76ers are notoriously tough at home, and Rivers certainly can't just make one arrangement.

On both the offensive and defensive ends, he has a new set-up.

.......

At the end of the first quarter, the 76ers temporarily led by three points at 23-20.

The Celtics sat on the Big Three, and when they led the team, they were also staggered, and Pierce played average in the first quarter, so Rivers replaced Pierce first, and when the second quarter began, Ray Allen and Garnett went down, and Pierce led the team alone.

This tactic is common when there are many stars, ensuring that there is at least one backbone on the field.

The same is true for the 76ers, but Iverson is going to rest.

Iverson scored 9 points and 3 assists in a single quarter, and after the break, Wang came up with another set of tactics tomorrow.

An offensive and defensive system with Paul Millsap at its core.

Millsap's strength rating ranks fourth among the 76ers, and Wang tomorrow is now teaching him to rebound and play the fast break, directly becoming the 76ers' on-court engine.

In the regular season, Rivers has seen how fast the 76ers' second team cuts points, and he has already had a countermeasure.

As soon as Millsap grabbed the rebound, he had to go down quickly, and there was always someone waiting to mark him and keep him from running.

After a few rounds on the court, Millsap couldn't find a quick way forward.

At this time, Wang Ming made a gesture on the sidelines.

A somewhat impetuous, Millsap saw the king's instructions tomorrow, regained his composure, took a deep breath, and his mind was spinning rapidly.

At the top of the arc, Louis Williams holds the ball.

The Celtics' backup point guard is Eddie House, also an experienced NBA veteran, and it won't be easy for Louis Williams to score points on him.

At this time, Millsap came out, and there was no original, elbow position to ask for the ball.

Lowe was ready to do it himself, but when he saw Millsap asking for the ball, he could only reluctantly pass the ball over, and he still had to follow the coach's tactical instructions.

Millsap elbowed the ball and faced James Posey.

Posey's three-point shooting in recent years has been accurate, but his stature is a little thin, and Millsap turned around and attacked with a face-to-face attack.

Percy thought to himself that this power forward should not break through with the ball, right?

"Bang!"

Just thinking about it, Millsap has already broken through directly without reason, and there are no superfluous fancy moves, just a step-by-step breakthrough after a simple triple threat.

If it is reversed to the left, the speed is slower, but the step to the right is large, and the speed is very fast.

Coupled with Millsap's tonnage here, he crushed James Posey and forced PJ Brown out of the box to make up for the defense.

Millsap was overjoyed and raised his hand to pass the ball.

"Bang!"

Iguodala catches the ball and dunks in the air.

That's the benefit of the big picture, with Millsap already having his team-mate's running line in mind when he grabbed PJ Brown, timing the pass to Iguodala in the air.

This dunk also reminded Wang Ming of some tactics.

He was replaced by Kyle Korver, and the field became an all-small lineup.

Louis Williams, Willie Green, Kyle Korver, Iguodala and Paul Millsap.

This lineup is a test for Millsap's rebounding, but fortunately, the Celtics at this time, after Garnett and Perkins went off the court, did not have too strong interior lines, and only relied on PJ Brown, who was nearly 40 years old.

The Celtics have paid too much to get the Big Three, and there are no strong soldiers other than the Big Three.

Rivers saw Millsap's pass and repeated it off the court.

"Why didn't you prevent it?"
