Chapter Ninety-Eight: A Lone Hero

"Ho ......"

After taking the rebound off Camby's head again, Relin gave a long throw straight to Maddie.

Maddy, who was fast to the basket, made a layup to make Iverson foul, made two free throws, and directly narrowed the score to nine points, forcing George Karl to call a timeout.

"Well done!"

Back on the sidelines, Leylin and Maddie high-five in celebration.

"Allright, guys, now is not the time to compliment each other!"

Adelman is still satisfied with the team's performance, but it is impossible to win by relying on Raelin's strong play on the inside. It is impossible for that fat man to let Lei Lin overturn the river and the sea on the inner line, so someone must contain the outside line.

"Steve......"

After a round of watching, Adelman can only target Novak, and now he can only pin his hopes on the white forward to contain the opposition defense with a three-pointer.

"Steve, as long as there's a gap, throw it out! Cast it boldly! ”

In order to stabilize the top position in the west, Adelman also gave up.

"Tracy, control the tempo, now the ball on the court is handed over to you, you have to distribute it reasonably, Ray, control the rebound ......"

Honk!

As soon as Adelman finished speaking, the timeout was over.

"Wow, the Rockets have a weird lineup. I've seen the Mad Scientist's small lineup, and I've never seen Adelman's five-forward lineup! ”

After the timeout, the Rockets made adjustments replaced Bobby Jackson and Alston with Novak and Harris, Maddy as playmaker, Harris and Novak as shooting guard and small forward respectively, Landry as power forward, and Rayling as center.

The Nuggets also made adjustments, replacing Anthony Carter and replacing Carmelo Anthony to enhance the team's offensive capabilities.

Clang!

Back in the game, the Nuggets' offense was initiated by Anthony, who made a jumper in front of Maddy and smashed directly into the basket.

After the Rockets grabbed the rebound, they didn't launch a fast break.

The lineup of three small forwards and two centers also did not allow the Rockets to launch a quick counterattack.

After falling into position, Maddie dribbled the ball back and forth at the top of the arc. Then, with the help of Landry's cover, he shot directly to the basket from the right side.

Syllable!

After meeting Nahoola, Maddie dribbled behind and gave the ball directly to Landry.

Misplacement.

However, in the face of Anthony's defense, Landry did not make a shot, but handed the ball to Harris, who was running to pick up. After Harris got the ball, he hit the basket again, attracted the defense, and threw the ball directly to Novak outside the three-point line.

Swish!

"Beautiful!"

Novak's three-pointer helped the Rockets close the score again.

However, then Iverson directly replied to one, and the score continued to climb in the back and forth attacks of the two sides.

By the end of the third quarter, the Rockets trailed the Nuggets by six points, 78-84.

……

Swish!

"Roar, Aaron Brooks' goal directly helped the Rockets equalize, and the two sides are back on the same running line again, see how George Karl adjusts!"

After the start of the fourth quarter, Brooks hit two consecutive three-pointers to directly help the Rockets tie the score.

However, it was not George Karl who took the lead in the adjustment, but Adelman. As the head coach of the Rockets, all he has to do now is solidify the top spot in the West before the end of the regular season.

So after Brooks helped the team tie the score, he directly replaced Maddie and Raylin to increase the team's attacking power.

"Looks like Rick can't wait to win the game!"

After re-entering the court, Leylin successfully defended the Nuggets' offense under the basket.

After blocking Anthony's layup, the Rockets quickly launched a counterattack, and Bobby Jackson made a layup on the fast break to add two more points to the Rockets.

"Beautiful!"

"Attack, attack!"

Adelman waved his fist excitedly, although the old man was relatively calm, but at this time he still could not suppress the excitement in his heart.

Seeing that the score was overtaken, George Karl couldn't sit still, and directly called a timeout and changed to the main lineup.

When the game restarted, the Nuggets were rejuvenated.

Iverson took advantage of Camby's cover, and after hitting the basket, he directly twisted to the basket.

Beep!

"Foul?"

Raelin looked at the referee's gesture, his eyes widened, and he was about to get angry, but when he was pulled by Maddie, Raelin immediately calmed down. When the game is scorching, and I already have a T on my back, if I collide with the referee and eat a T, it will not be good.

After Iverson hit a free throw, the Nuggets took the lead again.

The scorching game was once again staged at the Pepsi Center.

The score is also rising, and the Nuggets with the golden double guns, although they have a slight advantage in the score, but the Nuggets team, which lacks internal support, is not particularly easy to win. Especially now that Anthony is still in a scoring drought, Iverson alone is there to support him.

However, this kind of scene is not new to Iverson.

For the past ten seasons, Iverson has led the team in this way.

After passing the half court with the ball, Iverson glanced at Camby, who pulled directly to the high post to make a block, and then Camby's cover, Iverson got rid of the defense, moved a step laterally, and made a jump shot.

Swish!

99-100。

“AI……”

Although the cheers at the Pepsi Center were enthusiastic, the cheers revealed anxiety.

Although the Nuggets are now in eighth place in the West, the Warriors, who are ninth in the West, are only two wins away from them. If the Nuggets lose this game, they are likely to be squeezed out of the top eight and lose their qualification for the playoffs.

"Defend!"

After listening to the cheers of the fans, Iverson was there to direct his teammates to quickly return to the defense.

"Defend, defend, defend!"

Listening to Iverson's shouting, the fans in the stadium shouted loudly.

Bang, bang, bang......

The sound of the basketball hitting the ground was like a mallet on their heads.

Coming to the outside of the three-point line, Maddie continued to dribble under his crotch, and after a pause, he dodged a gap and rushed directly sideways past Kreza.

At this critical moment, the Nuggets can't be vague on defense, so after Maddy broke through Creza, Anthony and Nahura directly assisted in the defense and formed a trap on Maddy. At the same time, Iverson was also waiting for an opportunity to break the ball and counterattack nearby.

"Pass!"

Maddie looked at the stance and knew that he had to pass the ball before he was packed.

After a glance, a judgment was quickly made. Before getting encircled, the ball was sent out.

Swish!

"Well done!"

After a shout, the Rockets players quickly returned to defense.

But it still couldn't stop Iverson's speed.

After shaking Alstom, facing Maddie, Iverson dribbled under his crotch in a row, and suddenly changed hands behind his back, and then rushed past Maddie's side with a lunge and went directly to the basket towards Leylin.

Swish!

Beep!

“AI……”

"Uncle's!"

Listening to the cheers of the audience, Lei Lin raised his hand unwillingly.

After hitting the penalty and waving his fist to the fans, Iverson quickly returned to the defense.

After the Rockets hit a two-pointer, Iverson immediately responded with one.

……

BOOM!

Raylin's dunk once again helped the Rockets overtake the score.

At 109-107, the Nuggets trailed by two points with 17 seconds left.

The Nuggets called a timeout.

"Well done Ray! With seventeen seconds left, they'll definitely drag it out until the end to complete the lore. ”

The Rockets players were convinced, after all, with seventeen seconds left, the old man of George Karl must be laying out the final shot.

"Iverson, give it to Mike, you have to keep an eye on him all the time, it's better to make him unable to catch the ball! Bobby, you're staring at JR, this guy's three-point shot is good today, Tracy, you're staring at Anthony, although this guy's hand isn't good, but it can't be ruled out that the old man will give him the last shot! Ray, your job is to control the rebounds. Alright, guys, the West Leader, come on! ”

"Come on, number one in the west!"

The Nuggets serve in the frontcourt, and several people huddle together.

Beep.

After a whistle sounded, it spread out like a goddess scattering flowers.

Harris, Bobby Jackson, and Maddy ran away with the man they were guarding the moment the Nuggets players dispersed.

Only Camby was left standing outside the three-point line.

Seeing that five seconds were about to pass, Nahura threw the ball directly to Camby.

As a center, although Camby's scoring ability is not strong, it does not mean that he does not have the ability to score, even outside the three-point line, Camby can also score. Although Leylin didn't know, he still cautiously followed Camby's side.

At this time, Iverson walked around Nahura's side and directly evaded Harris's marking with the help of Nahula.

"Here!"

If it weren't for everyone being marking and defending, it is estimated that the ball in Camby's hand would have been cut off by the Rockets players long ago.

After Iverson shouted, Camby made a gesture with both hands to pass the ball.

There was no doubt that there was a fake Leylin made a lateral move and blocked the passing route.

"Uncle's!"

Watching Camby attack with the ball, Raelin was dumbfounded.

However, after being stunned for a moment, Lei Lin immediately followed.

Then Iverson shouted for cover, and Camby hit the basket.

"Find the hat!"

Seeing that Camby was about to make a move, Leylin yelled and jumped up directly.

Sou!

The basketball flew directly from Camby's hand to the outside of the three-point line, and when he turned his head, he saw that Iverson received the basketball outside the three-point line, and as for how Iverson got rid of Harris, Leylin didn't know.

In the silent arena, everyone looked at the orange basketball.

Swish!

Rumble!

The Pepsi Center boiled over the moment the basketball entered the frame.

Iverson, with his arms held high, was like a king, and he was there to receive the worship of his people. More like a lone hero, standing up at the last moment!
