Chapter 62: A Tooth for a Tooth?
Huang Jun sat on the field, looked at the players on the field, and silently cheered for them in his heart, in Huang Jun's heart, they are all excellent players, whether they are substitutes or starters, they are all excellent. Those who can enter the NBA are all basketball geniuses, but the NBA has never been a place of geniuses.
Geniuses are also graded, what kind of genius has what potential, just like Allen Iverson of the current Pistons, when he first entered the NBA, everyone predicted that he was ten points and five assists, because Iverson was too short, but what about the results?
Iverson eventually became a superstar, and how many people in the same draft would be higher than him? Kobe Bryant naturally needless to say, Kobe and Iverson also have one thing in common, that is, they are both very persistent, and Kobe is also very paranoid and is still a training maniac.
When the first quarter ended, the Cavaliers led the Pistons by one point at 26-25, and the Pistons put a lot of influence and pressure on the Cavaliers defensively.
In the final three minutes of the first quarter, the Cavaliers scored just six points while the Pistons scored five, and the two sides battled the defense for the final three minutes of the first quarter.
James, who came down from the court, sat next to Huang Jun and said, "The Pistons' defense is really good, I can't hit it, and I'm very tired, if it weren't for the opponent's bad hand, I'm afraid we would be behind now."
In the last three minutes of the first quarter, the Pistons missed several open shots, and most of them were three-pointers, and if they all went in or went in, then the Pistons were ahead of the Cavaliers at the end of the first quarter, not the current Cavaliers leading the Pistons.
Huang Jun listened to James's words and said, "Although they missed many open shots, I think this is also the defensive impact you brought to them, otherwise how could they not score in the general open space"
James didn't speak, because Brown was about to speak.
"The Pistons' defense must have all been experienced, their defensive system is already very difficult to deal with," Brown looked at Huang Jun and then said, "Next, Huang Jun, we need to pass the ball, I want you to use your pass to tear apart the opponent's defensive line, is there a problem?" ”
"Coach, of course it's no problem," Huang Jun said confidently.
Brown looked at the others and continued, "The opponent will definitely have a targeted defense against Huang, I need you to disrupt the opponent's defensive deployment so that the opponent can't find their defensive rhythm, so that Huang Jun has a better chance to pass the ball to your hands or his own hands."
"You guys have to strengthen the opponent's defense, don't give the opponent multiple empty shots in the last three minutes, and give me a timely rotation in the defensive position, you know?"
The players who were about to play nodded their heads and signaled that they knew, and Brown was very happy to see the players like this.
This side of the pistons.
Pistons head coach Mike Curry said to the five people who were about to play: "Iverson, we need your score, the number of shots you made in the first quarter is too small, although you are no longer in your peak state, but you are the most critical and important player on our team, so after the second quarter is on the court, you are yourself, you don't need to suppress yourself, then you are not the real Iverson"
Iverson looked at Curry and nodded heavily.
Curry then went on to say, "You guys defended the Cavaliers very well in the first quarter, and I need you to improve your shooting percentage in the second quarter so we can turn the game on our side." Defensively, you don't have any problems, but there is something wrong with the offense, and the main point of attack in the second quarter is Allen. You have to strengthen your defense against the opponent's No. 3 rookie, don't treat him as a rookie, you can choose to wrap him up or something if necessary."
After that, Curry laid out some more details. When the setup is over, it's almost time for the game to restart.
The second quarter begins.
Huang Jun controlled the ball, and Averson pressed forward* in an attempt to make a mistake by Huang Jun, but Huang Jun's dribbling skills were too stable, and it was not easy to steal Huang Jun's ball, not to mention that Iverson, who was no longer in his prime.
Iverson is really a gambling steal, as long as the steal is not successful, then it is completely out of position, and the result is the same.
Huang Jun turned around and dribbled, dodging Iverson's steal and passing Iverson, which perfectly cracked Iverson's gambling steal.
Huang Jun, who passed Iverson, went directly to the basket, and when the defenders came to make up for Huang Jun, he made a direct pass, and it was a ground-hitting pass, which was passed to Asik's hands perfectly and accurately.
Asik's front was as empty as the sea, and there was no one to defend him, and a gorilla-like clasp of his hands came directly.
Jason Marc Hill is very helpless, if he doesn't make up for Huang Jun, then Huang Jun will definitely score easily, defend him, he will pass the ball, it's really super helpless.
Iverson controlled the ball, looked firmly at Huang Jun in front of him, Huang Jun looked at such Iverson and couldn't help but be stunned, but it was a stunned, Iverson is an old fritter naturally will not miss this opportunity to break through Huang Jun very well, this is where the experience lies. As long as there is a chance, the veteran will not give up and will not let him slip in front of his eyes.
Although Iverson is no longer at his peak, his speed is also very fast, although it is not as fast as Huang Jun's speed now, but the speed of ordinary players is not the current Iverson opponent.
Iverson first changed direction, and then accelerated to break through Huang Jun, when Huang Jun came back to his senses, Iverson's foot had already stepped past his defense, and Huang Jun was very helpless and annoyed about this.
Although Iverson is old, he can still be said to be invincible within three steps, as long as the opponent can defend his three steps, then Iverson does not have any speed advantage, he is invincible within three steps, and his speed has greatly decreased beyond three steps, and now he can only maintain his three steps is the peak of the quasi-level.
Although Huang Jun's three steps are also fast, he is now one step behind Iverson, so if you want to catch up with Iverson, you can only be three steps away, but when you catch up, Iverson may have already attacked.
Huang Jun didn't hesitate to catch up directly, but Iverson's three steps were too fast, Huang Jun was always a small step behind Iverson, close at hand but like the end of the world.
Just when Huang Jun thought he was going to catch up with Iverson, Iverson shot directly without any hesitation, and Huang Jun pounced directly from behind and pounced towards the ball in Iverson's hand.
Iverson naturally saw Huang Jun's movements from the corner of his eye, and a smile curled up at the corner of his mouth. Iverson deliberately slowed down the speed of his shot, and as a result, Huang Jun's hand also came to Iverson's hand from the side, and it hit without any accidents.
Iverson felt it, and then threw the ball in his hand, and the referee's whistle sounded without any accidents, and Iverson looked at the result of the ball in the air after landing. Is it two plus one or two free throws?
Brush, although Huang Jun fouled the beater, but the goal was still scored, and it was a two-plus-one opportunity, there is no doubt that Iverson's 'conspiracy' succeeded. Seeing this, Iverson smiled again.
Iverson, who was standing at the free throw line, did not adjust his breathing, received the ball and dribbled a few times and shot directly, brushed, and hit the penalty without any accidents. Iverson's free throws were fantastic.
Huang Jun was very annoyed by this foul, and he knew that he wouldn't pounce on it and wouldn't do it, but he himself knew that he would still do it even if he encountered the same situation next time, because he was Huang Jun, and letting any player shoot in front of him was not his character, nor was it something he could do, so he would not be Huang Jun.
With Iverson's two-plus-one, the Pistons successfully tied the score, and there is no doubt that the real core of the next lineup on both sides is Iverson and Huang Jun.
Next, Huang Jun controlled the ball, used Asik's cover, and directly passed Iverson who was defending him in one step, and Iverson chased after him to prevent Huang Jun's ball, but will it be as he wishes?
Huang Jun directly accelerated to get rid of the elderly Iverson, seeing this, Iverson did not stop, but tried his best to chase Huang Jun as fast as possible.
Huang Jun saw all this in his eyes but remembered it in his heart, and at the same time admired Iverson very much in his heart, it was this spirit that he had been learning, and this spirit had penetrated into Iverson's bones and become an indispensable part of his life. Although he admired him, Huang Jun increased his speed in order to give Iverson the greatest respect, and the distance between the two widened again in an instant.
However, a figure also appeared in front of Huang Jun, Mark Hill. His pace slowed down as a result, and Iverson caught up and formed a wrap-and-roll defense with Mark Hill.
In this regard, Huang Jun did not have the slightest flustered look on his face, but was very calm, which made the previous Mark Hill very incredible, is this still a rookie who has just entered the league? couldn't help but doubt Huang Jun in his heart.
Of course, Huang Jun didn't care what they thought about him, and when he saw Iverson following, he stopped directly, and the gesture was a shooting action, Iverson was really shaken up by Huang Jun, because this action was really true, and completely deceived the experienced Iverson.
Seeing that Iverson was deceived by himself, the corners of Huang Jun's mouth hooked up a smug smile, Iverson saw this smile and secretly said that it was not good, and knew that he had fallen for him, but at this time, he was in the air, and it was too late, so Iverson in the air could only try to control his body not to touch Huang Jun's body.
Huang Jun, who was just determined to pay attention to Iverson's foul, how could he give up this great opportunity? This is obviously impossible.
