363. A difference of one point
"Our tactics are simple, try to get the ball into Ben's hands, you know? Don't care about the damn win or lose, just let the score and let him get 100 points! Jordan said loudly as he drew a line across the tactical board.
Everyone on the Bobcats knew about Warburn and Iverson's bet, and although it seemed like a bit of a joke, everyone knew that for tough guys like Warburn and Iverson, nothing they said would be a joke. In other words, if Huaben loses today, four years later, he will have to take a pay cut to join the 76ers. Similarly, if Wajben wins, two years later, Iverson's contract expires and he has to accept a mid-level contract and join the Bobcats.
In order not to let the hard-signed Huaben fall into the arms of others, Jordan decisively lost his mind and began to fall into the frenzied expectation of a solo performance. It's worth the gamble for him to lose his mind, Iverson is the most suitable outside player for Huaben, both are the fastest people in their respective positions, and one is on the outside but can score on the inside, and the other is good at high-post step-back jumpers playing center, the combination of the two, that is, it always feels like the puzzle - Iverson's defensive shortcomings can be completely solved by Huaben.
Iverson + Huaben, not to mention what will happen to the combat effectiveness, just talking about the box office, it can simply make Charlotte fans crazy!
At the end of the third quarter, the score between the Bobcats and the 76ers was 85:75, which was not very high, and compared with the almost crazy offensive efficiency in the first quarter, the last two quarters were obviously much worse. However, if you consider the fact that Huaben and Iverson each took up a lot of shots from both teams, then this score is still not low.
After 36 minutes in the third quarter, Huaben scored 55 points and Iverson scored 54 points, and both were on the road to setting their own scoring records, which is something that everyone knows.
Huaben made 21 of his 36 shots, and his offensive efficiency was as impressive as ever. Iverson made 42 shots and hit 20.
In the fourth quarter, the 76ers had the ball, and Iverson touched his nose and said to Waben with a smile: "It seems like you're still one point ahead of me?" It sucks, and it looks like I'm going to lose. ”
Hua Ben shrugged his shoulders and said lightly: "This is meant to be a doomed thing. ”
"Doomed? You're saying it's fate? Iverson threw the ball to McGee and slowly ran to the court, saying as he ran, "But I don't fucking believe me!" I only believe in myself! What God Allah is full of gods and Buddhas, this is all fucking shit! ”
Like Wajben, Iverson played 36 minutes and, as a defender, his physical exertion was even more severe as he needed to score on the run. It may be easy to break through one person, but the Bobcats are five people against him.
McGee saved Iverson energy with the ball, and he knew that today would be a superstar scoring battle against McMang, so he gave up on the idiotic idea of persuading Iverson and gave the ball to Iverson after half court.
After 36 minutes of running, Iverson couldn't bear it, he no longer had the lightning speed of the opening game, and now he wanted to break through, relying more on skill and experience than on speed or explosiveness.
Patin has been tortured by Iverson, Allen is defending him, and the Bobcats' playmaking guard is Knight, defending McGee.
Facing the conscientious Allen, Iverson took a deep breath and raised his hand to jump up and shoot. Alun hurriedly caught up, today the AI feels hot and hot, and the Zhongtou God is accurate!
As soon as Aaron jumped, Iverson suddenly pulled down his tiptoes, and his short body bypassed Aaron as dexterously as a marmot. Iguodala was ready to step up and make a move, and Iverson passed the ball to Robinson. Cutting into the box without the ball, Robinson passed the ball back, and Iverson jumped up after receiving the ball and threw it out with shaking hands.
Despite his physical exhaustion, his wrist was as steady as ever, and Iverson scored 56 points to overtake Huaben.
Huaben didn't look stressed at all, he casually refused the braces, and smiled all over his face.
Iverson gasped and glanced at him and muttered, "Damn, I hate this kind of fucking fake smile the most, if it weren't for the court, I'd have punched him twice to see if this bastard could laugh!" ”
Wabben's ears were pointed, and when he heard Iverson's words, the smile on his face became even stronger: "Don't you know what I'm laughing at?" I'm winning, Aaron, and I welcome you on behalf of Charlotte! Knight passed the ball to Warben, who was already in the box, and in the face of Durham Potter's defence, he turned around forcefully, raised his arm with one hand, flicked his fingers, and hooked the ball out.
"Who wouldn't say big things," Iverson sneered back, and before he could finish speaking, the ball had already fallen into the hoop.
McGee pushes forward with the ball, and Knight goes up to press and wants to show a hand. However, McGee is an old ball, he made a change of direction and shook off Knight, accelerated to the frontcourt, Allen and Iguodala were attracted to Iverson, he was already empty, so he rushed inside without hesitation.
Allen is a very good team defensive player, seeing this, he went up to make up for the defense, Jordan hurriedly stood up and wanted to stop him, but it was too late, McGee hit the ball and passed the ball to the middle, Iverson received the ball and rushed into the penalty area, jumped up against West, threw a shot, and hit again.
At 58:57, Iverson took the lead, and he smiled with satisfaction: "Ben, Philadelphia is also welcoming you." ”
Wajben again asked for the ball in the penalty area, Dareham Potter was behind, Arauyo was on the right and Wajben passed the ball directly to West. Seeing this, Arauyo gave up the bag and returned to the defense, and Huaben slipped the baseline and ran out, all the way to the corner outside the three-point line.
West leaned on Arauyo in a decent back-hitting position, and as soon as Wajburn ran to the bottom corner, he immediately passed the ball.
With no one in front of him, he stared at the hoop and jumped, his wrist shaking slightly, his fingers plucking the basketball, spinning it and throwing it out.
"Huh!"
The crisp sound upset Iverson, who had both of his attacks thrown in the box, which he does best, so it was not unusual to hit back-to-back shots. But what about Huaben? He first played alone in the restricted area, then shot from outside the three-point line, and hit them all, and this seemingly unbeatable impression made Iverson have a breakdown.
McGee whistled, Iverson shook his head to clear the negative emotions from his head, and said to himself secretly: "Aaron, the test is coming, don't think about these childish things, what, do you want to surrender?" Think of the damn ghetto of the nineties, think of my sister who was sick and couldn't afford medicine, do you want to go back to that life? You have to be clear, God can't beat you but fucking yourself! ”
Secretly puffing himself up, Iverson licked his lips and pulled his feet and rushed inside the three-point line. Aaron shook for a moment and was almost thrown away, but fortunately, his physical fitness was amazing, and he turned around to catch up. At this moment, Iverson suddenly turned around and ran back, and at this moment Allen was completely thrown away.
McGee passed the ball to Iverson outside the three-point line, looked at the basket in the distance and Allen who was closing the distance with him, Iverson secretly gritted his teeth, and jumped firmly on the floor with both feet: "Ben, you can shoot three points, I can too!" You can't be defeated, and so am I! ”
With a shake of the wrist, the ball left a beautiful arc in the air and flew towards the hoop.
Wajben looked at Iverson from the inside, and he clearly saw that at the moment of the basketball shot, Iverson's wrist softened for a moment, so he gave up the stuck position and quickly pulled two steps outward.
"Bang!" The sound broke the hearts of the 76ers players and the hearts of every fan
Waben threw his hands behind him and jumped up, stretched out his arm to pluck the ball: he predicted correctly, Iverson's ball, the shot was short, smashed outside the hoop and bounced off.
Iverson shook his head hatefully, it was this simple action, but a piece of sweat was thrown up, as if it was a light rain in the sky. A reporter captured this moment, and later he did a simple processing of the photo to make the sweat clearer, and then gave the photo a name called "God cried at this moment", and subsequently, this photo became one of the top ten best shots of the year in the NBA.
Wabben passed the ball to Iguodala and roared, "Zebra, come quickly!" ”
Iguodala roared excitedly, pulled out his leg and raced to the frontcourt, his physical strength was also very exerted, and it was no good job to help defend Iverson. However, when Wabben made a request, as a good little brother, he did his best to carry out these orders.
The 76ers also defended quickly, but the people who could block Huaben's charge were not able to come back to the defense, and those who caught up were all outsiders.
Iguodala passed the ball back on the flank, Waben got the ball, rushed into the three-second zone two steps at high speed, soared into the air, flew in the air like a falcon, waved his arms like an eagle striking the sky, and smashed the ball down with both hands between lightning and thunder, smashing the basketball into the hoop.
With 62 points, Hua Ben officially set his scoring record, but the game was not over yet. Huaben, who has been restrained and low-key in this game, suddenly raised his head and roared after landing on the ground: "Hey, everyone, the time to witness the miracle has arrived!" Do you think I'm exhausted? Sorry, I just woke up! ”
Iverson broke through Allen with the ball, only for Iguodala to come up and wrap up, and he rushed left and right between the two like a trapped beast, leaving sweat and snow white along the way. But both Allen and Iguodala are genius defensive experts, and Iverson's physical exertion is too serious to run into open positions.
Watching the prince of Philadelphia struggle under the siege of the enemy, the 76ers fans were sad and wept, and many people shouted: "AI, pass the ball, don't care about the scoring record, we are satisfied as long as we can see you play, and we never care how many points you can get!" ”
Both Aaron and Iguodala see Iverson as their idols, and they are heartbroken to wrap their idols like this. However, they must do so, because Huaben is their faith, and anyone who challenges their faith will be punished with the severest punishment.
Reluctantly, Iverson took advantage of the moment Iguodala retreated to find a gap to break through the bag and jump up to throw the ball.
A long arm chased the ball and lifted it, and the 76ers fans saw in despair that Hua Ben rose into the air like a giant god and slapped the ball down
“no!” How many fans let out the same unwilling rant as Iverson did at this time?
This time there was no time to launch a fast attack, Huaben was outside the three-point line to get the ball, with his back against Robinson to go inside, and when he reached near the free throw line, he suddenly took a step across the figure to pull the figure out, and at the same time turned and jumped, his body leaned back gracefully, his arms steadily lifted the ball, and his eyes stared at the hoop.
Step-back jumper, hit!
