(Iverson and Nash are two completely different types of guards, which can be said to be a rare strange type of player in NBA history, Iverson has a very good playmaking talent but is extremely strong in scoring, while Nash has a good offensive talent but the organization is more than everything, in the first game of the 2001 Finals between the 76ers and the Lakers, Iverson reached the Finals for the first time and scored 48 points on 18-of-41 shooting in his first game, what kind of offense is this?) This is completely murderous, that is, Kobe Bryant can be compared with him in the future, this is a legend in the NBA, it is difficult to see such a player in the current basketball world, now neither Durant nor James can play like those legendary players in the past, and now the NBA still has a player who dominates the game with a killing way? There is no one but that old Kobe, but alas, alas)

"Iverson is here again, Steve is so pathetic"

"yes, that's happened many times in this game."

"Now Steve shouldn't defend Iverson anymore, he can't defend at all"

"If we don't use him, the rest of our team is useless, Iverson is too fast"

In the stands of the target center, Timberwolves fans are watching Steve Nash, one of the team's leading players, being devastated by 76ers boss Iverson, and one of the biggest highlights of this game for these fans is the matchup between Iverson and Nash about this season's team, after the league announced a team of rosters some time ago, the 76ers leader let out Nash's talk of blowing up Nash in the Finals this year. Now that's an extremely likely thing to do, and now the 76ers are completely blind to Nash. Basically, it's either a one-step or a little bit of a feint to get rid of Nash, and then directly hit the basket and Wang Zhizhi heads-up or a mid-range pull-up jump shot, and this guard has a really good shooting rate today. Obviously, it feels very good, and seeing such a situation on the court, these Timberwolves fans are also sweating for Nash.

"Coach, do you want Paul to misplace to defend Iverson?" Timberwolves' assistant coach Stephen Green said to Zhuang Fei with a worried look on his face, one of the biggest uncertainties for the Timberwolves in today's game is Iverson, in Glenn's opinion, the Timberwolves have no problem winning the 76ers under normal circumstances, but now it seems that there is a great possibility of something extraordinary. The 76ers guard was in excellent shape today, but it was also a little frustrating for Green that the Timberwolves really didn't have a No. 1 defender.

The Timberwolves have had several 'nemesics' since Zhuang Fei became the owner, among which the supersonic led by Payton is the crime, and the reason why the Timberwolves always lose to the supersonic is because the Timberwolves are too poor in defense at the No. 1 position. And Payton's offensive ability is extremely strong, and now today's Iverson is stronger than Payton in offensive ability.

It's just that Zhuang Fei didn't agree to Green's suggestion, of course he didn't object, he just quietly watched what happened on the court and didn't say anything, Green sighed helplessly when he saw this, of course he knew that Zhuang Fei didn't have the slightest way.

"Steve, are you alright?"

Garnett looked at the back of the 76ers No. 3 in front of him and then patted his teammate's shoulder and asked worriedly, that Iverson is crazy today, and Garnett can see that evil aura from the No. 3. It was like devouring Nash, and more importantly, the strength of this player was extremely strong, and Nash at this time was obviously unable to defend against him.

"Kevin, I'm fine" Feeling the concern of his teammates behind him, Nash just sighed and said, in fact, he already has the consciousness of being blown up by Iverson in this game, in fact, for Nash, let alone being blown up by Iverson, he already has the consciousness of being blown up by any point guard in the league, in fact, he doesn't mind this kind of thing at all, just blow it up. It doesn't matter, as long as he can win, and the head coach of the team will never ask him to defend well, and his teammates will not ask him to defend well, but I don't know why he just doesn't want to be beaten by the No. 3 on the opposite side in this game. …,

This year is very important in Nash's heart, this year he became a first-class star in the league for the first time, and it was also in this year that everyone began to really get to know him, although he was selected to the NBA All-Star team last season, but at that time the fans did not regard him as an unobtainable figure of the team, and the outside media did not regard him as a player like Garnett or Pierce, in the eyes of many people, Pierce and Garnett are the top names of this team, And he is just a beautiful embellishment, but this year, with the Timberwolves' super record and his selection to the league's first team, it is also the first time that he surpassed Pierce in the MVP rankings, it can be said that all this year has changed Nash's mentality a lot.

In the past, he was just a 'small character' and he didn't care if he was beaten up, and he didn't need to care, but now, he is a 'big character', even if he is not as good as Kidd and Iverson in terms of prestige or other aspects. Big guy' but it's not far off, or it's already a player of the same level, in such a position, if this kind of casual abuse happens, Nash is really unwilling, although the Canadian point guard's gains and losses are not big, but in the face of the opponent's repeated provocations and strong hits, this also makes this point guard have some impulses to compete with the opponent.

After all, this game is also his proof to Iverson that he deserves this year's first team, but think about the style the team wants to be in. The heart of such a point guard is half cold, the Timberwolves play team basketball, even Garnett and Pierce are playing team basketball, Nash likes this atmosphere very much, he doesn't want to break such an atmosphere himself, even if it is not a game, at this point he is not as good as Iverson, Iverson has no such concerns, this can also be said to be a must-lose matchup for Nash, the defense is weak, and the offense is also impossible.

"Steve. Since he's scoring like crazy in front of you, then you're going crazy to assist in front of him. It doesn't upset the balance of the team, and you don't need to strengthen your offense," Garnett clearly saw in his good friend's mind. He can understand Nash's mood at this time, just like he brushed up his stats for the regular season MVP, and at the same time, he also felt like he ran into Duncan and had the intention of fighting it out regardless of it.

Hit back with an assist? Nash was a little moved when he heard Garnett's words, he was selected for the team this year because of the assist king, and it is also a good way to beat the opponent with assists, but what makes Nash a little embarrassed is that the assist is not so easy to get.

"Steve. You don't have to worry too much, you just pass the ball as you normally would, and we'll help you with the rest of the matter, don't you say?"

That's when other Timberwolves players arrived. Then they all nodded in support of Garnett's words. It also warmed Nash's heart.

"Coach, what are they doing up there, are they still playing, what are they doing there" Timberwolves assistant coach Green asked with some confusion, the Timberwolves played very easily in this game, and the score has been suppressing the 76ers, although Iverson opened his personal mode in the second half of the first quarter, although he caught up with a lot of points, the Timberwolves were still able to suppress the 76ers through team performance, which also made the Timberwolves still lead by 7 points in the second quarter of the game. A mid-range stop-and-go goal after Iverson broke through Nash just now brought the difference between the two sides to 5 points, and that point was also Iverson's 19th point in the game. There are six minutes left before the end of the first half, which can also be seen in Iverson's hand today, Nash has completely become an ATM.

Zhuang Fei didn't answer after hearing Green's question, he just frowned and took a deep look before relaxing, obviously these Timberwolves players are ready to avenge their point guard, although Nash is not the boss of the team, but this point guard is very popular in the Timberwolves, this is a player who completely sacrifices his data for his teammates, such a player can be welcomed by his teammates anywhere, and these people are naturally clear about the grievances between Iverson and Nash before this game. So seeing Iverson frantically attacking Nash in this game, these people naturally can't sit idly by. In the face of the behavior of the Timberwolves players on the court, Zhuang Fei didn't want to interfere. …,

He's a coach who wants to take everything into his own hands, but there are things that need to be let go, like this.

"It looks like this is going to be a bit different," Zhuang Fei said with emotion after looking at Iverson and Nash on the court.

The Timberwolves players want to avenge Nash, and Zhuang Fei is not ready to care now, and soon this game has undergone a little subtle change, when Nash quickly dribbled past half court Garnett stepped forward as usual and Nash blocked at the free throw line, at this time Nash also distributed the ball to Garnett as usual and then moved to the right side 45 degrees outside the three-point line, if it is usual, Garnett's ball is estimated to be distributed to Pierce in the bottom left corner or to hand the ball to Xiao Ao who came out from the inside to catch the ball, But this time, Garnett chose to shoot directly from mid-range in front of Aaron McGee.

Seeing Garnett's choice this time, Zhuang Fei shook his head with a wry smile on the sidelines, this is the way to avenge Nash, but it is also quite chic.

"Larry, it seems that Garnett is ready to strengthen his offense in this game, and the 76ers' Iverson crazy scoring has stimulated him" Michaels on the commentary bench said excitedly, since the second round of the Western Conference and Duncan staged a crazy scoring drama The new MVP of the Timberwolves immediately fell silent, it would be great if this game could stage another point battle with Iverson, but unlike Michaels's excitement, Larry Bird frowned on the side, He didn't think Garnett would soar like that.

"Maybe this and that Canadian have something to do with it," Larry Bird said, glancing at the Timberwolves point guard on the court.

Just now, Garnett's immediate shot after a block was considered by Michaels to be Garnett's reinforcement of his attack, but soon the commentator found that his idea was wrong, because in addition to Garnett, other Timberwolves players are also seeking to cooperate with Nash, and an obvious change is that the Timberwolves' ball possession is constantly concentrated in Nash's hands, only the ball is passed out of Nash's hands, and these Timberwolves will definitely shoot, and if there is no chance, they will immediately answer Nash's hands, The kind of ball sharing that the Timberwolves did at the beginning of the game has completely changed now, and now the tactics of the Timberwolves players on the court have clearly become completely Nash-centric tactics, and most of them are pick-and-rolls.

The Timberwolves' tactics changed without warning, which also surprised 76ers head coach Larry Brown on the sidelines, but even the Timberwolves did not give up their advantage on the court although they seemed to play more concentrated, and the Timberwolves pulled the score away again at the end of the first half.

After the second half, the Timberwolves continued to play like this, and to Bird's surprise, Zhuang Fei did not change in the slightest at halftime. However, when I saw the Timberwolves' current cooperation, this legendary forward was also relieved.

Although the current Timberwolves' tactics are extremely simple, that is, the blocking and dismantling tactics with Nash as the core, these Timberwolves players and Nash continue to block and dismantle, but even so, the 76ers have no way to take this Timberwolves.

"This is the best pick-and-roll point guard I've ever seen," Larry Bird sighed after one last look at Nash, and when he looked at Larry Brown again, the 76ers head coach was already a little ugly.

Obviously, the coach is also a little anxious, this game was originally a Timberwolves team vs. Iverson game, but in the end it turned into a duel between Iverson and Nash, this is an alternative matchup, Iverson wants to score and Nash uses assists, and when the game reaches the fourth quarter, Iverson's scoring pace still does not weaken in the slightest. And Nash's assists have not diminished at all, and at this time Nash also clearly felt the change in Iverson's eyes looking at him.

It can be said that Nash and Iverson are completely two different types of guards, one is completely to score to drive the team, the other is to lead the team with passing assists, and the two can play the biggest role in different teams now, the Timberwolves need Nash and the 76ers need Iverson, both of whom are currently one of the most talented guards in the league, and this completely different confrontation is also evenly matched from the current point of view.

"It's been an interesting game, it's been rare to see a playmaker dominate the finals lately, the last time it was only Erwin who could do that, but I didn't expect two to pop up this time" Bird sighed as the referee blew the game for the end of the game, and Michaels next to him was stunned when he saw the statistics for the game.

That's 50 points and 30 assists?! (Your support is my biggest motivation.) )
