Chapter 41: The King Bombs at the Beginning! (Kneel and beg for a monthly pass, collection, and recommended ticket!) )
On the court, after the jump ball, the 76ers attacked first.
High post, a leisurely left hand for a right hand, Iverson shook off Arenas' defense.
On the sidelines, Wang Shuo, who saw this scene, couldn't help but sigh in his heart:
I can't even pull it!
This kind of one-on-one single-point blasting, it is difficult for teammates to wipe Arenas' ass in the first place.
Iverson dribbled to a sharp halt and hit a small half-volley.
0 to 2.
TNT TV, Barkley, who has been living a bad life recently, feels that he has finally found an opportunity to fight back against Wang Shuo, commenting: "I don't deny that Wang does have a certain coaching talent.
But is he a little too big tonight? He just said in an interview with the live host that Gilbert Arenas would be the key Mr. for the Wizards tonight.
But can Gilbert Arenas really be able to guard against Allen Iverson? ”
On the side, Kenny Smith chimed in: "Judging from the results of the first round of the two teams tonight, it is indeed difficult for Gilbert to effectively limit Allen in one-on-one defense. ”
As the shortest champion in NBA history, the "HC" rule can't limit Iverson, let alone Arenas?
In the future, when many people complain about Iverson's career shooting rate, they seem to have forgotten that this "183" is scored at what kind of defensive level those fairy balls.
Throughout his career, Iverson had a 56.5 percent finishing rate from the basket.
Although this statistic, it is slightly inferior to the other "183" Chris Paul in the future.
But Iverson's career average of six baskets per game is much higher than Paul's average of 2.3 per game.
From the very beginning of tonight's fight, Wang Shuo didn't think about guarding against Iverson.
Because in this era, even if you change to Lu as a guide, at most you will give Iverson another chance to step over his head.
Coming back, the Wizards attacked.
Jordan and Artey took the initiative to pull to the bottom corner to smoke, and Gasol raised to the top arc to make a wall for Arenas.
Iverson defended aggressively and tried desperately to get the ball off Arenas.
And it was at this moment that with Gasol's huge body, Arenas suddenly dribbled to the left and retreated, withdrawing from a sea and a wide sky.
Thanks to Mutombo's numbing scalp play in the first meeting between the two teams, Gasol's blocking and pick-and-roll bomb made Mutombo dare not go to Arenas.
After all, it's okay to be shown off by a rookie in the first encounter, and you can explain it to others because you are not familiar with and understand Gasol's style of play.
But if this game is shown again......
So what kind of face do you let Mutombo have to meet the Philadelphia Fathers?
On the periphery, Arenas, who noticed that Iverson had lost his position, did not hesitate, and decisively kicked his legs, stayed in the air, and shook his wrists!
Hmmm——!
What a perfect arc of answer.Ball!
After hitting the three-pointer, Arenas pointed to the Wizards' bench while hammering his chest.
On the sidelines, looking at Arenas who could think of himself after scoring a goal, Wang Shuo was very happy.
But he didn't like the way Arenas had just celebrated.
This kind of chest-beating like "Erha Demolition House" is too ordinary in Wang Shuo's opinion, and it is not domineering and gentlemen enough.
On the court, a rookie returned the Answer.Ball, and Iverson's competitive spirit was picked up by Arenas in an instant.
After holding the ball for half the court, Iverson first handed the ball to Haprin, who stepped forward to receive it, and then pulled it to the right side of the court.
Seeing this, the 76ers players very consciously ran to the left half, making room for Iverson to perform.
How fast was Iverson's first step kick-off?
On the flank, Arenas, who had been ready to pounce on Iverson's right hand early in the morning, was left behind by Iverson before he even reacted.
Jie is the NBA's version of "Flying Thor".
Black glitter in Philadelphia!
Even if you know I'm going to break to the right, you can't stop it!
Iverson, who dribbled all the way to the basket, pushed Gasol into the basket with the ball.
At the same time, the baseline referee blew the whistle.
Fouls, goals scored, and penalties added.
Almost instantly, the atmosphere in the center of Wajovia ignited Iverson's layup.
Fans chanted Iverson's name wildly and cheered "MVP, MVP" for him.
On the 76ers' bench, Larry Brown was clearly pleased with his Disciple's performance tonight.
Although he has always been moody, Larry Brown's push of his glasses with the word "proud" written on his face just after Iverson scored still betrayed him.
Oh, when Aaron comes back tonight, I don't believe I can't clean you up, little one!
On the sidelines, when Iverson was about to execute the free throw, Wang Shuo deliberately pulled Arenas aside.
TNT, Barkley, and Smith are all guessing what task Wang Shuo is giving Arenas.
But the two brothers may not believe it.
Wang Shuo didn't give Arenas any special tasks, nor did he remind him how to defend against Iverson.
"Remember the celebration I told you earlier?" Wang Shuo patted Arenas on the shoulder and said.
Arenas swallowed and said, "Isn't that crazy, Coach?" ”
Wang Shuo glanced at the 76ers fans behind him and said, "With such a good stage tonight, do you really just want to be a role player for the rest of your life?" ”
This sentence successfully hit Arenas' heart.
Wang Shuo likes to watch the stars perform on the field, and knows that in this business league, stories are eternal classics.
Tonight, Wang Shuo didn't just want to win, he hoped that Arenas could use this game to complete the transformation.
For a young player like Arenas, building confidence on the pitch is just as important as training a daily basis.
For example, not long ago, after eating the experience pack of Mutombo, does anyone still dare to talk about Gasol's rookie status?
For example, Xiao Yao in Wang Shuo's memory immediately established his absolute confidence that he could play in the NBA after beating Chandler violently.
For another example, after Wang Shipeng kills Slovenia in the future, you can clearly find that in the international arena, there is no three points that this thing does not dare to throw.
Of course, the ancestor of the men's basketball team was also the only Asian giant who could beat the European powerhouse, which is too sci-fi for future fans.
On the court, after Iverson made a free throw, Arenas's eyes were always fixed on the text that Wang Shuo had written on his right palm with a marker pen after communicating with him.
"The best pitcher in the NBA, Gilbert Arenas".
At this moment, I don't know why.
Anyway, Arenas just felt like he couldn't hear the cheers of the fans around him.
All he could see was four teammates on the field, five players on the other side, and the man standing on the sidelines, the man he was willing to do anything for.
Take a deep breath, catch the ball, dribble the ball, pass the half.
Lower your center of gravity to protect the basketball.
In the 76ers' half, in the face of Iverson's crazy attack, before his brain could react, Arenas' right hand had already instinctively changed hands from behind and handed the ball to his left hand.
Then, in the shocked eyes of Gasol, who had not yet risen to the top of the ranks, and under the shocked gaze of Crawford on the Wizards' bench......
I saw that Arenas actually lightningly switched the basketball that was originally in his left hand to his right hand through his back again!
Iverson, who pounced too hard, never expected that the rookie in front of him would still hide such a unique skill.
But, at this moment, he has lost his defensive position, how can he have time to think about it?
Turning his head to look at Arenas, who was already ready to kick the ground, Iverson did the last thing he could do in this defense.
Spread your arms as far as you can to interfere with Arenas' shots.
But, no matter how good Iverson's static talent is.
His interference also hardly affected Arenas, who was 10 centimeters taller than him.
Jie is the most bullying part of the sport of basketball.
Kick your legs.
Stuck in the air.
Shake your wrists.
At this moment, Arenas, who was extremely focused, only felt that the basket was as wide as the sea for him.
So much so that neither he nor Iverson, who was busy fighting to the death, noticed.
At this moment, the position of the two of them is still one meter away from the three-point line of the top arc.
On the bench of the 76ers, because Arenas' shot was very close to Larry Brown on the sidelines, when Larry Brown noticed Arenas's confident expression, he was both puzzled and puzzled, and at this moment, he really wanted to knock Arenas's brain to see what he was thinking.
On the Wizards' bench, Wang Shuo had already raised his right hand in advance and made a three-point gesture.
Wang Shuo admitted that he did have a gambling element in this ball.
But when Arenas turned to look at him and raised his arms as soon as he shot the basketball to the ground, Wang Shuo knew that even if Arenas messed up in the end, he would never regret it!
There is such a player who listens to you, trusts you, and is willing to work hard for you.
What more could you ask for?
On the court, when the basketball shot by Arenas flew towards the hoop in an almost perfect arc in the air, many fans at the scene noticed the almost crazy linkage between Arenas and Wang Shuo.
If there is no absolute trust in each other.
Just ask, how could there be such a crazy scene?
Hmmm——!
Quiescence.
There was silence.
In the incredulous eyes of nearly 20,000 fans at the Wajovia Center, at this moment, how pleasant and beautiful is the sound of basketball hollow shabu?
On the court, looking at Arenas, who had been rushing all the way to Wang Shuo, Jordan suddenly thought of the reason why he had appointed Wang Shuo to take charge of this Wizards before.
"Don't give up hope even at the last minute, basketball is never decided by the score, if you give up now, the game is really over." (Note (1))
Perhaps, the young coach really has little experience.
But even Michael Jordan has to admit it.
Recently, even he has been influenced by Wang Shuo.
If miracles have colors.
So why can't it be Wizard Blue?
After a few seconds of silence on TNT, Kenny Smith commented, "This is definitely the craziest scene I've ever seen in my career!"
Ladies and gentlemen, if you have just turned on the TV screen, then I can only say sorry to you here.
Because you missed a historic moment that is destined to be mentioned again and again in the future! ”
The opening scene is the king bomb.
Two goals of Iverson-esque individual heroism.
Two Answer.Balls from rookie Arenas.
and Wang Shuo and Arenas's extremely arrogant early celebration linkage.
Barkley, who was still questioning Wang Shuo before, was extremely clear at the moment that it was wise to choose to spread his hands and take the initiative to admit it, so he sighed: "I wouldn't say that this game is the best game so far this season, but, that's the truth!" ”
