Chapter 110: Answers
After a slight adjustment, Iverson still chose to break through.
No one in this world could make him stop, and Ye Feng naturally couldn't do it.
As long as he is on the court for one minute, Iverson will fight for one minute.
Right side, still right side.
The continuous big change of direction did not shake off Ye Feng, and Iverson simply made a step-back jumper.
Ye Feng immediately pounced and tried to seal it.
Iverson's shooting stance is not standard, but it is a perfect fit for his own, and he shoots very quickly.
Before Ye Feng sealed it, the basketball had already flown out.
It's a pity that I didn't get in.
Iverson's long-range shooting ability is still relatively poor, averaging 31.3% per game in his career, and even less than 30% in many seasons, which is also a major weakness of him.
In the next round, Iverson still chose to shoot a jumper and still didn't score.
Soon, the first quarter ended.
In the final four minutes, Iverson made 1 of 4 shots, and his shooting percentage dropped significantly.
On the contrary, it was James's side, who felt a little revived, and led the Cavaliers to play a wave of counterattacks and chase the score to a 25-25 draw.
During the break, Paul patted Ye Feng's shoulder with satisfaction, he was very satisfied with Ye Feng's active defense.
Although it was impossible to completely prevent Iverson, it still caused a lot of trouble for Iverson. Coupled with Iverson's mid-to-long-range shooting percentage today, Ye Feng's defensive effect looks good.
Honk~
The second quarter begins.
The two sides changed their players and sent substitutes to continue the battle.
But Iverson of the 76ers and James of the Cavaliers are still on the court, after all, these two are physical monsters and iron men, and playing 40 minutes is like playing.
On the Cavaliers' side, Meme, Darius, James, Capono, and Ye Feng.
On the 76ers' side, McCaskill, Jackson, Korver, Willie Green, Iverson.
With injuries to both small forwards and off the bench, the 76ers head coach had to send some fringe players.
For example, the team's third small forward, Kyle Korver, is the No. 51 rookie in the second round this year.
Willie Green, the No. 41 rookie.
In this way, there are as many as 5 rookie players on the field, which is also a bad team game, and it is impossible for a strong team matchup to happen.
Korver and Capono, both second-round picks, were also the two best pitchers in the class of 2003.
Korver has averaged more than 43% three-pointers per game in his career, and Capono has set a single-season three-point shooting rate of 51.4%, both of which are terrifying.
Of course, in addition to his three-point shooting, Korver also has a good defense, and is a strong 3-and-D player.
This is also where Corver is stronger than Cappano.
The game continued, and Iverson advanced to the frontcourt.
Before he could make a choice, center McCaskill pulled out and played a pick-and-roll strategy.
Obviously, this is the arrangement of the 76ers coach.
If Iverson is allowed to play ball by ball, the Iron Man will be exhausted.
The head coach also chose this way to conserve Iverson's strength.
With the pick-and-roll, Iverson's offense became much easier, and with his speed, only Ye Feng could barely keep up with the Cavaliers.
With the pick-and-roll, Iverson was able to easily get small and big opportunities.
And without a big man who could guard against Iverson, the Cavaliers could only be forced to wrap up.
Once packed, Iverson passed the ball.
And Mark Jackson and Korver had a good hand and turned Iverson's passes into assists.
Knight's side.
Or James hit the breakaway shot.
Korver and Green want to defend James, but it's still a little harder.
Both sides played back and forth, and the score alternately rose.
In the second half of the second quarter, the two teams began to slowly switch to the main forces in an attempt to create a lead in the first half.
However, the 76ers, who lack the "big dog" Robinson, are still a lot worse in strength.
On the contrary, Da Z, who has an absolute height advantage, made a big show in this quarter, and led the Cavaliers to open the score.
At the end of the first half, at 47:40, the Cavaliers led by seven points into the second half.
At halftime, in the locker room, Paul continued to arrange tactics.
The main force gathered in a circle and listened carefully.
Only Ricky Davis drank the water silently, not taking Paul seriously at all.
Paul glanced at Davis hatefully, and simply stopped looking at him, out of sight and out of mind.
But the players are still somewhat uncomfortable watching this scene, the head coach and the original team boss have such a big contradiction, who can do it and not care at all?
The only person on the team who is qualified to take care of this is Ilgoskas, but Big Z's gentle personality does not mean that he will not do it.
Others want to do it, but they don't have the qualifications.
James is a rookie after all, and he doesn't have that much authority yet. Moreover, anyone with a discerning eye knows that the contradiction between Davis and Paul is about the ball control between Davis and James.
Paul first affirmed Ye Feng's defense and hoped that he could continue to play in the second half.
Then, it was James and Ilgoskas who took turns playing singles, asking others to open up space and shoot resolutely when there was an open space.
Soon, the second half began.
Paul continued to play Ye Feng, of course, to defend Iverson.
Iverson pushes forward with the ball.
Ye Feng observed carefully, and he found that Iverson's eyes were a little sluggish, and he seemed to be a little tired.
"Are you tired?"
Ye Feng couldn't help but think.
Dalem Potter came up to block the demolition, Ye Feng had already prepared and was preparing to bypass the demolition.
only to find Iverson shaking his head at Dareham Potter: "I'm going to play this ball myself!" ”
Dareham Potter was stunned, but honestly walked away.
It's not a strange thing, the stars who came over in the 90s were very fond of heads-up.
Jordan, Kobe, Iverson, Maddy...... All of them are true!
Without the slightest warning, Iverson suddenly activated.
Or the right side!
Ye Feng had already prepared and stuck the line that Iverson had broken through.
Iverson also seemed to have expected it, knowing that this first step would not pass Ye Feng, so he immediately pulled his right hand and changed direction to the left.
The eyes, upper body, and hands are in place, and those who don't know will definitely believe it.
Ye Feng, who had suffered a loss, took a gamble, and his center of gravity was slightly raised, which was convenient for rapid lateral movement, but he did not immediately pounce to the left.
Fortunately, Ye Feng made the right bet.
Iverson's change of direction just now was another feint, a reverse pull of his right hand, or a breakthrough to the right.
Right! Then to the right!
Iverson's penchant for breakouts on the right is hard to understand.
Fortunately, Ye Feng boldly gambled once, and blocked Iverson's way for the second time.
Iverson saw Ye Feng in front of him, and his face showed a slight surprise, but it was just that. For a superstar like him, I haven't seen any scenes.
The two breakthroughs were blocked, and the bodies of the two were also attached together, almost zero contact.
Ye Feng firmly stuck Iverson's right side, completely blocking the route on the right side.
"Beautiful!"
"Perfect!"
"Well prepared!"
Cleveland fans couldn't help but applaud Ye Feng.
Not everyone can fight Iverson to this extent.
But as soon as their voices came out, they swallowed into their throats.
Because, without the slightest pause, Iverson turned his back sharply, and suddenly opened up space to the left.
"God!"
This ball control skill is truly impeccable.
Two blocks, interrupting his rhythm, but still not affecting the rhythm of his dribble in the slightest.
Basketball is like growing on his body, it is a part of his body, and he can control it as he wants.
"You can stop him, but you can never stop him."
Jordan's evaluation of Iverson suddenly appeared in Ye Feng's mind.
However, Ye Feng did not have the leisure to marvel at Jordan's evaluation, but desperately pounced to stop Iverson.
At this moment, Iverson has raised his hands and made a shooting pose.
His shooting stance is not standard, but he shoots very quickly.
So Ye Feng didn't dare to pause in the slightest, and jumped up directly, trying to block Iverson's shot in the air.
But at that moment, Iverson smiled, and then silently withdrew his hands from shooting.
It was a feint, and he didn't jump at all.
After retracting the basketball, Iverson didn't move his pivot foot, and the auxiliary foot poked a step to the right, and then the whole person jumped out to the right.
Right! Right again! Third right side!
Iverson's paranoia is simply outrageous.
"Everyone knew Iverson was going to break through from the right, but still no one could stop him!"
Ye Feng, who was flying in the air, looked at the ball and sighed.
Iverson flicked his wrist and threw the basketball out.
Swish!
Ball in, 47:42.
The Quicken Loan Arena was silent.
Iverson made a circle with his right hand, pressed it to his ear, and made a listening gesture towards the audience.
It's Iverson's signature move!
Three seconds later.
“You are zhe answer!”
"You are the answer, the only answer in basketball!"
"Oh, we love you, answer!"
......
Although there were still boos, Ye Feng's ears heard more praise for Iverson.
