Chapter 616: A Team That Cannot Be Supported!

Takemichi took a jumper from a defender to give the Timberwolves the lead.

At the same time, Wu Dao's excellent handling of the ball also made Philadelphia fans can't help but look at Wu Dao a few more times. With just one ball, everyone can get a glimpse of some of the strength of martial arts from the technical movements of martial arts.

In the middle of the field, the martial arts who scored the goal quickly returned to defense, and Iverson couldn't help but look at the back of martial arts as he ran towards the front court.

In a place like the NBA, the replacement of players is very fast, and a generation of new people replace the old, which can be used to describe the NBA arena.

Iverson only landed in the NBA as the No. 1 pick last year, but it was only a year before a latecomer stepped on his head.

This season, the Spurs' top pick, Tim Duncan, has performed very well on the court since the beginning of the season, and many fans have taken their eyes off his Iverson and turned to the Spurs' new champion.

And Wu Dao, who also entered the NBA this year, has already made a lot of fame in the league, and his popularity is much higher than that of Duncan, who is the champion show.

The older generation of players, such as Jordan and Big Dream, are still shining on the court, and the new generation of players, such as Wu Dao, has begun to emerge.

In such a basketball environment, Iverson will inevitably have a strong sense of crisis in his heart.

How can we dispel this sense of crisis?

It's actually very simple, just beat the opponent, score on the opponent's head, and let the team win!

The Philadelphia 76ers are all young, although the team has a big interior lineman Eric Montrose. But the 76ers are still pushing back quite fast.

When Jim Jackson quickly dribbled close to the top of the arc, 76ers center Eric Montrose had just crossed the halfway line.

But Jim Jackson didn't have the intention of waiting for his own interior line to settle down, in the face of Tom's defense, Jim Jackson quickly gave the ball to Allen Iverson on the right side, and at the same time, Jim Jackson also quickly rushed in the direction where Iverson was, intending to make a block for Iverson.

Marbury was also attracted by Jim Jackson's actions, and glanced to his side, careful to be on guard.

But it was the moment when Marbury's distraction was that Iverson quickly dropped the ball and rushed towards his right.

Iverson was so fast that in just a split second, he crossed Marbury and traveled to the middle distance. Marbury hurriedly turned around to intercept, but Iverson, who easily broke through Marbury, also made a quick stop, and the basketball in his hand was thrown out quickly.

"Huh!"

As the sound of basketball entering the net sounded in the middle of the court, the Philadelphia fans also cheered.

"What a quick rush!"

When watching a football game on TV, people's perception of speed will be greatly reduced, he has long known that Iverson's breakthrough speed is very fast, but this feeling can only be felt when he is on the field.

He defended on the other wing, although he was not a player who specifically targeted Iverson, but a considerable part of Martial Arts' attention was actually placed on Iverson.

The opponent's entire breakthrough action fell into the sight of the martial arts.

Although I don't want to admit it, one thing that can be clear from the martial arts is that Iverson's startup acceleration is faster than his own! Budo is also a talented player, but in terms of absolute speed, he is not as good as Iverson.

After the 76ers scored, Marbury also looked at Iverson, and his face was not discouraged.

It's not that he and Iverson haven't fought each other, Marbury is actually very aware of Iverson's technical characteristics, and it is normal to not be able to prevent Iverson's breakthrough, in terms of speed, Iverson has an "absolute" talent, which is not comparable to him Marbury.

Even if he knew that Iverson would rush to his right side, it would be difficult for Marbury to stop the opponent, and if he was long, he could only give some interference, so that the opponent's rhythm was not so smooth when he rushed, and destroy the overall rhythm of the opponent's breakthrough shot as much as possible.

There was nothing more to Marbury do.

"Give more confrontation."

While Marbury went to the backcourt to catch the ball, he secretly reminded himself in his heart that after the basketball started, Marbury quickly adjusted his mood and ran quickly towards the front court with the ball.

The Timberwolves attacked in the second offense, and after Marbury was close to the top of the arc with the ball, he reached out to direct the martial arts run. At Marbury's signal, Takeshi left from the horn position on the flank, followed the three-point line to the bottom corner, and after a brief stop in the bottom corner, he quickly interspersed with the inside line.

At the same time, Garnett also quickly went out from the inside, giving Martial Arts enough space, and at the same time, he also quickly went to the high position to provide a cover for Marbury.

With Garnett's cover, Marbury took advantage of the situation to rush to the inside from the elbow area where Wudao left, and Garnett also quickly went down after the block, and for a while, three players on the Timberwolves' side ran towards the 76ers' paint area from three directions.

Clarence Witherspoon was sticking tightly, but when he saw Marbury successfully cross Iverson and rush inside, he couldn't help but be distracted.

His gaze looked in Marbury's direction, and the figure of Martial Arts had quickly shaken off Clarence Witherspoon and began to accelerate.

Marbury noticed the martial arts that slipped the bottom line, and threw the basketball in his hand directly into the air above the martial arts, the basketball was thrown very high, and Clarence Witherspoon looked up at the basketball flying out of Marbury's hand, and jumped to intercept the ball.

But the basketball flew above the fingertips of Clarence Witherspoon, who was struggling to get up, and at the same time, a big white hand quickly appeared above Clarence Witherspoon's fingertips, grabbed the basketball, and then poured it into the basket.

"Bang Bang !!"

The basketball was directly poured into the basket by Wu Dao, and a huge sound sounded in the court.

The martial arts of the smooth slam dunk, the body was attached to Clarence Witherspoon's body, and Clarence Witherspoon, who landed quickly, stumbled, and "kicked" back a few steps before barely standing firmly.

“ohhhh——”

Martial Arts' strong air connection split dunk made a burst of low shouts from the stands, and while Martial Arts and Marbury completed their cooperation, they also "incidentally" blocked Clarence Witherspoon.

With just one goal, fans watching the game will be able to clearly see the talent gap between Takedo and Clarence Witherspoon.

The 198cm, 109kg Clarence Witherspoon is far inferior to the martial arts in terms of height and arm span, and the bounce is also quite different from the martial arts.

The Timberwolves' attack only took seven seconds, and the Timberwolves who scored smoothly also quickly retreated. After high-fives with the returning martial arts, Marbury also looked at his old friend and old rival Iverson, and his eyes showed a little joy.

Although scoring is martial arts, he Marbury is the character who connects the team.

Marbury feels that he will not lose to Iverson in the role of guard, and the better the martial arts performance, in fact, it can also indirectly show that his Marbury is well organized!

Philadelphia's 76-point run came to an end with Allen Iverson's throw-and-shoot iron. The Timberwolves have Garnett guarding the paint area, his displacement speed is very fast, Iverson relies on excellent talent, a beautiful crossover past Marbury to enter the interior, but his throwing, but is interfered with by Garnett, who quickly came up to the defense.

And the rebound ball was also taken in the hands of Wu Dao, who was quickly squeezed into the basket.

Alternate offense and defense, the basketball was given to Garnett's hands after several transmissions, and the bulky Eric Montrose used his body to push Garnett, but Garnett just turned around with a fried ball, and directly turned Eric Montrose clean, and Garnett burst into the basket, grabbed the ball directly with both hands, and poured the ball into the basket.

It is true that although the Philadelphia 76ers have a supernova like Allen Iverson, the hard power gap between the Timberwolves and the 76ers is not something that Allen Iverson alone can make up.

And unfortunately, the man who defended Allen Iverson today is Marbury, who is very familiar with him.

Marbury has no intention of preventing Iverson from breaking through at all, his defense has always been based on physical confrontation, and then when Iverson is shooting, he interferes with the opponent's projection as much as possible.

If Iverson were to rush inside, Marbury wouldn't even chase after him, and he was relieved to give Garnett the task of helping the defense.

Garnett is a player with excellent defensive awareness in his own right, and Garnett is also a talented monster. Iverson's means of attacking the basket are indeed very, very rich, throwing, jumpers, pull-up layups, hand-to-hand layups, messy and all kinds of ways, but so what?

Iverson is just a small guard with a height of about 180cm after all, and in the small space on the inside, even if Iverson has 10,000 ways to pass and finish in front of Garnett, it is difficult to show it in front of Garnett.

Because Garnett is a 211cm spring monster.

The Timberwolves have a strong mobile spring monster on the inside, which makes the Philadelphia 76ers' offense very uncomfortable, and their offense is basically pressed on Iverson and Jim Jackson on the outside.

The interior offense is easy to be interfered with, and the 76ers can only be forced to increase their outside shots.

However, the Timberwolves' outside martial arts and Tom are not good characters, and the players who are opposed to the martial arts are completely blocked.

The 76ers can only rely on Allen Iverson's individual ability to score points.

But under Marbury's influence, Allen Iverson feels very crotch-pulling today.

Kobe Bryant is known to be a famous blacksmith.

But you may not know that Kobe, the blacksmith, was the least iron-clad of the "Big Four" back then.

The 76ers' offense stumbled, while the Timberwolves were full blooming, Tom was able to easily crush the young Jerry Stackhouse with his body, while the "veteran" of the defensive martial arts, Clarence Witherspoon, was about to be overwhelmed by the martial arts.

Clarence Witherspoon is a big-tonnage player who is less than two metres tall and has no easy task to drag his 109kg body around frequently.

What's even worse is that the martial arts are not only fast enough, but also strong enough, and the pursuit of the defensive martial arts really made Clarence Witherspoon suffer.

Although the 76ers are led by young superstars, they lost very quickly in the game against the Timberwolves.

In the first quarter, the two teams went back and forth, playing a 26-21, and the Timberwolves "only" led the opponent by 5 points.

But in the second quarter, Philip wanted to crush the 76ers in one go, and only one center was replaced in the starting team, leaving Ben Wallace off the bench to play the No. 4 position, moving Garnett to the No. 5 position.

As soon as the personnel changed, the offensive firepower of the Timberwolves was still the same, and Marbury played very focused in today's game, often the first time a player appeared vacant, Marbury would send the ball to his teammates.

In the second quarter, the Timberwolves directly gave the 76ers a 30-19, making the game lose suspense early.

In the third quarter, the Timberwolves began to rotate, and the 76ers only replaced Eric Montrose at the No. 5 position and the heavy Clarence Witherspoon, and several others were still fighting with the Timberwolves on the court.

Iverson picked up in the third quarter, but after scoring three goals in a row, he began to continue to play iron, which made the martial arts off the court look big for a while.

Like many "superstars", Iverson is also the kind of person who invests more and more iron. Martial arts can't count how many goals Iverson threw in today's game, watching Iverson's game, martial arts is like watching "iron highlights".

Martial Arts played only two and a half quarters today, nearly thirty minutes, and his personal score was "only" 24 points.

Tom and Marbury both played more than 40 minutes, and after two quarters, they only took a short break and continued the game with a group of Timberwolves benches.

The Timberwolves' bench strength is a little weak, Mitchell and others have played less games this year, and their court sensitivity has also decreased.

As the final whistle blew, the Timberwolves won the game 98-90.

Today, the biggest contributor to the Timberwolves was Tom, who played 42 minutes, and he scored 30 points, 7 rebounds and 3 assists. Of course, if a player's contribution is judged only by the score, then Tom is undoubtedly the one who takes the most credit.

But in fact, in today's game, the most dazzling person on the Timberwolves' side is not Tom, nor is it the martial arts that staged a dunk not long after the opening, but Marbury, who has been silently supporting the team.

Marbury played 41 minutes and scored 14 points on his own, but grabbed six rebounds while also adding 14 assists. In today's NBA, the method of calculating assists is a little different from that of later generations, only when a player gets the ball and shoots immediately, it can be counted as an assist, but if you are lucky, it cannot be counted as an assist.

The calculation is very strict.

It is under such a rigorous calculation that Marbury still has such an assist, which is enough to explain a lot of problems.

On the other hand, Allen Iverson, the star of the 76ers, played 38 minutes, shooting 7-of-17 from the field, 3-of-5 from three-point range, and 5-of-8 from the free-throw line, scoring 22 points, 1 rebound, 6 assists and 3 steals in a single game.

Looking at the data alone, it is actually quite good, but compared with Marbury of the Timberwolves, his statistical performance is not as dazzling as imagined.

What's more, today's game was won by the Timberwolves.
