175, Iverson's fighting spirit
"After the Wizards beat the Orlando Magic, they will return to their home court to face the Philadelphia 76ers, one of the few back-to-back games for the Wizards this season, and it will be another upside down."
"Considering the scoring contest between Tracy and Wu Di, Allen Iverson, one of the best defenders in the league, must also be interested in this, and maybe this will be another round of scoring battles."
……
On the way back to Washington on the Wizards' flight from Orlando, a series of media headlines sprung up, and it was clear that the Maddie and Wu Di rivalry was a thing of the past, and the next thing to come was the challenge of Iverson, who was equally good at scoring, to Wu Di.
Considering the Wizards' current record against the sky and Wu Di's eye-catching performance in the season, it is clear that the places they go and where they are must be under great attention.
Fans' speculation seemed to erupt as the game arrived, and countless news revolved around the matchup between Wu Di and Iverson, which was the only focus of the game between the 76ers and the Wizards.
It was 8 p.m. on January 10, and the players of the Philadelphia 76ers and Washington Wizards stayed on the sidelines, eager to try.
The managers of both sides are still nagging, as if they will always do this kind of work, whether the players around them are listening or not.
On the big screen, what was advertised was the scoring duel between Iverson and Wu Di, which was the theme factor of the game.
Moreover, the introduction of the trend of this game is also extremely clear, the Wizards, who have a fierce winning streak, seem to have the ability to easily beat the Philadelphia 76ers, and the key is not to have any surprises.
And the commentators sitting on the sidelines. The game has been analysed.
"Philadelphia's shortcomings this season have been very clear. First of all, they don't have good rebounding protection. And in terms of scorers, they still rely heavily on Allen Iverson, which is extremely lethal for them. And the Wizards are different, Wu Di and Arenas are like the backcourt double guns of the new generation of the league, their offensive ability is quite amazing, and on the bench, Jamal Crawford's scoring ability has improved very significantly, and he has the potential to take over Wu Di's best sixth man torch this year. ”
"Such a contrast. Philadelphia have little advantage, and I think all we can focus on in this game is what kind of performance Iverson and Wu Di, the two leading scorers, can have in this game. ”
As the commentators commented, the big screen changed and the season's record of both teams up to this game appeared.
The Philadelphia 76ers, 16-20, are ninth in the East.
Washington Wizards, 29-5, first in the East.
The match of first and ninth in the East. Obviously, there is not much difference, but the fans are still in high spirits. Therefore, today's MIC home stadium is still full.
"God above, I think I've gotten so insatiable lately, and I always want to watch them put on a show, and that's really exciting."
"Let's get started, our rookie king will definitely beat Philadelphia again with a high score, and he can be mesmerizing right now."
"Wu is our leading scorer, and he might really be able to bring a scoring title, or MVP, to Washington this season...... Such an honor has not been seen in decades. ”
In the huge stadium, the sound of discussion appears from time to time, and all the fans are talking about is the contest between Wu Di and Iverson, and some voices can of course reach the ears of Allen Iverson.
Iverson sat on a chair on the sidelines, his eyebrows looking rather stern.
Sitting beside him, Eriksno, who was like a clown jumping off a beam, shouted dissatisfiedly: "No one seems to be optimistic about you, Aaron, I think you should sue these guys, the true strength of the scoring champion...... I'll give you the ball and blow him up. ”
Iverson looked at his teammate with a blank face, and he knew that Eriksno had been jealous since he suffered a loss at Wu Di's hands last year, and then he always acted like a clown who jumped off the rails.
However, these are his teammates, and he doesn't dislike them in his heart, but he doesn't like them either.
Nodding, Iverson said, "I've been waiting for this fight for a long time, he's improved a lot and can get me excited." ”
With that, Iverson licked his lips, and a crazy battle intent suddenly erupted on his body.
Wu Di felt the difference on the sidelines, turned his head to look at Allen Iverson, and suddenly, four eyes collided like a substance, and before the game started, the arena was already filled with gunsmoke.
"Welcome ~Allen Iverson~, from the Philadelphia 76ers~"
……
"And our home hero, the great Chinese warrior, Wu Di~"
The DJ gave a rough introduction to the 10 starters, and the unique voice was able to arouse the excitement of all the fans at the scene, and suddenly, the stadium also applauded for a long time.
In this fiery atmosphere, players from both sides excitedly walked onto the field and then stood up around the center circle.
The referee was the old man who blew the game at the Wizards' home court, and he smiled at Wu Di and signaled the game to begin.
The court was relatively quiet, and at the moment when the basketball flew into the air, there were two low roars, which was a contest between the centers of the two sides.
Kwame Brown's progress is evident to all, especially his maturity and self-confidence, which makes everyone in this arena feel happy and loved.
When Brown slapped the basketball at Arenas' location, the audience burst into applause, with some fans whistling excitedly to express their unique feelings for the Wizards-born top pick.
The jump ball was decided, and players from both sides poured into the opposite field like a tidal wave.
Wu Di and Iverson ran together, he couldn't help but look at this little man who was much lower than himself, Wu Di felt in his heart, he really couldn't think of what kind of energy was hidden in this small body, which could allow him to play such an achievement on the basketball court where he was so long.
seemed to feel that Wu Di was looking at him, Iverson's eyes flashed with brilliance, he did not hide his heart, and under the two sides looked at each other again, the battle spirit suddenly erupted like a volcano.
There were no words, but just such a gaze aroused the fighting spirit in Wu Di's heart.
Falling to the left three-point line, Josh Howard has begun to shuttle to the baseline, and the two interior lines, Christian stepped forward to block for Arenas, and Kwame Brown is like a bull on the inside.
With the help of the pick-and-roll, Arenas accelerated to the inside, and in the face of the reinforcement, he quickly passed the ball to Wu Di.
And Wu Di's attention was on Brown, and he saw a smile on the corner of his mouth, raised his big hand, and passed the basketball to Brown's hand.
Brown held the ball and singled with his back to his back immediately attracted a burst of attention.
And at this moment, Wu Di suddenly moved, and Brown also raised his hand at this time, and the basketball flew to Wu Di again.
The moment the basketball started, Wu Di toed a little, and the moment the whole person stopped, his body was already in the air.
Allen Iverson chased after him, but it had no effect.
Wu Di shot cleanly, and the moment the three points were in the bag, the scene was crazy again.
"Wu Di's three-point shot, he is afraid that he will make up his mind today to Allen Iverson, and today should be another high-scoring collision."
The basketball hit the ground, the players rushed back to the backcourt, and Allen Iverson rushed like lightning after receiving the ball.
It was so fast that in the blink of an eye he had passed the others who were running and made an easy layup.
Seeing this, Wu Di was speechless in his heart, he was also paying attention to Allen Iverson, but he didn't expect this guy to engage in such a sneak attack, the problem is that he is so dexterous, he will always deliberately use other players to avoid Wu Di when sneak attacking, therefore, Wu Di has no chance to defend in this round.
The score jumped, 2:3.
Regarding Iverson's choice of speed battles and offensives, Wu Di also made up his mind to deal with them carefully.
Of course, the Wizards' offense still needs to be carried out, and considering that Wu Di is the focus and protagonist in this game, Arenas has also made up his mind to hand over the ball to Wu Di in the first few attacks.
After half the court, Allen Iverson's small body was attached to Wu Di's body, and his posture seemed to tell everyone that as long as Wu Di dared to dribble, then he would definitely grab the ball without hesitation.
Wu Di is jealous of Allen Iverson's flexible tackling ability, but he also knows how to use it to his advantage.
Iverson is nearly twenty centimeters lower than him, and Wu Di is physically stronger than him, in this case, the two people are in opposition, and Wu Di has an absolute advantage.
Holding the ball above his head with his big hand, Wu Di's height and arm length completely made Iverson unable to start.
Suddenly, I saw Wu Di's arm thrown back, and his body moved, as if he was going to squeeze Iverson away.
However, at the moment when Iverson pulled back, Wu Di suddenly got up and threw the ball when the opponent did not react.
"Hmm~ Dry pull out three points~ The hit is too crisp. Wu Di is clearly bullying people with his height. ”
All around, a discussion arose.
Alan Iverson's eyes flickered, and he himself seemed helpless about it. After all, this has always been his shortcoming, a player like Wu Di who is athletic, has good physical condition, and always has a good shooting selection, he can't defend at all.
"You only have to shoot, otherwise I'm going to have an easy chance of copying your dribble." Iverson shouted.
Wu Di smiled and said lightly: "I'm not that stupid, you want me to break through?" Obviously, I don't want to do that right now, my basket is so accurate, so naturally I choose to shoot. Besides, the feeling of scoring a goal on your head is so fucking cool. ”
When the words fell, a look of helplessness flashed on Iverson's face. (To be continued......)
