Chapter 42: Interesting All-American Live (3)

The new Allen Iverson put his coach's words behind him when he came on the pitch, and rushed with the ball after receiving the baseline ball.

Coming to the top of the arc, Iverson, who held the ball in his right hand, did not call for blocking, dribbled under his crotch, switched to his left hand after an emergency stop, and then changed direction sharply in front of his body, and accelerated his breakthrough with the ball in his right hand.

Li You, who was in the opposite position, was too familiar with this move, predicted the opponent's offensive line, and followed a quick slide.

Iverson defended it, quickly broke through to the right elbow area of the free throw line, then quickly dribbled the ball under his hips, stopped again, slightly shook out a shot space, immediately closed the ball, and threw a backward jumper!

"Huh!" Solid mid-range hits.

At 32:37, the margin returned to 5 points.

This kind of completely relying on physical fitness, quick emergency stop and quick start, Li You has no way, the small man's center of gravity is too low, he can only give physical confrontation, and expect Iverson to shoot and hit the iron.

The exclamations that erupted from the Madison Square Garden Arena made Iverson, who had just come on the court, cheer himself up, and kept clapping his hands to cheer himself up, and immediately led the defense after Li You received the baseline ball.

Iverson's ferocious up-and-go didn't bother Lee Woo too much, with a large amount of back-to-back balls and right-handed balls against the defense to keep accelerating.

Approaching the halfway line, Li You quickly dribbled behind his back, and after the emergency stop, he took advantage of Iverson to grab the ball, suddenly changed direction under his crotch, lowered his center of gravity, and accelerated the ball with his right hand again, dribbling steadily across the half.

Iverson, who lost his defensive position, desperately pursued the defense, stuck to Li You's side again, and after a quick sliding step, he completed the defense as soon as possible.

The two were facing each other at the top of the arc, and the New York fans, who liked to watch the excitement, immediately stood up and followed the loud heckling.

All the players on the field also opened in turn, leaving room for the two to go head-to-head.

The cheers of the fans deepened Iverson's self-congratulatory state, and he quickly pounced on Li You, trying to complete the defense by pressing...

Li You, who was holding the ball in his right hand, was speechless for such a defensive move, and immediately sideways to protect the ball while Iverson pounced.

While protecting the ball steadily, Li You's right hand suddenly exploded the ball vigorously on the spot, his shoulders shook back, pretended to turn around, and then suddenly lowered his center of gravity, quickly pushed the ball with his right hand, twisted his body forward, and accelerated the breakthrough with all his strength.

Iverson, who made the wrong defensive choice, was first stunned by the feint, and then followed his body's reaction and slid desperately to the left back.

Lee found himself unable to get rid of Iverson's close defense, broke through to the right elbow of the free throw line, and dribbled quickly behind his back.

Under the emergency stop, Li You scooped the ball with his left hand and blew it up slightly, and once again quickly exploded the ball on the spot, taking advantage of Iverson's fierce pounce, and immediately pushed the ball to change direction.

The sparing effort to save and steal made Iverson unable to quickly return to the anti-slip step, completely lost the defensive position, and finally could only be stunned in place, watching Li You make an easy jump shot in a mid-range emergency stop!

"Huh!" Steady progress from mid-range.

At 32:39, Li You quickly responded.

The audience first exclaimed, and then began to cheer loudly, especially when they saw Li Youchong Iverson shaking his head again, the noise was even louder...

Taking advantage of the bottom line Iverson to catch the ball, Li You also suddenly grabbed it, and then quickly pulled away from it, and by the way, he stimulated the opponent:

"You're going to lose tonight, how many times have you ever lost?"

As soon as he saw Li You's smiling face, Iverson was angry, and after putting the ball with his right hand, he rushed violently, quickly pushed the ball and changed direction during the march, and rushed through the half court in the blink of an eye...

Unlike Lee's breakthrough with feints and dribbling rhythm, Iverson came to the top of the arc to make another emergency stop, then quickly dribbled under his hips, and accelerated again after switching to his right hand.

There was no fancy shaking, Iverson completely relied on speed to grab most of the position, and Li You lost his defensive position, and he cursed in his heart.

The two came to the paint area, Iverson leaned out to complete the pick-and-roll, and after the basketball hit the high board, it fell into the basket accurately...

"God! It's so fast! What an amazing talent! ”

Commentator Mav-Albert could only sigh along, and Iverson, who had completed the attack, watched Li Youbang beat his chest, and was completely excited...

Still maintaining a very aggressive defense, Iverson is not dead yet, and seems to want to use ferocious pressing to break Li You once.

Li You accelerated his dribbling rhythm at this time, and at the same time increased the intensity of the ball, whether it was dribbling behind his back or changing direction under his crotch, the speed suddenly accelerated.

The same way of attacking, only this time Li You suddenly turned around quickly after blowing up the ball again, while catching the ball with his left hand, he lowered his center of gravity, grabbed half of his body, and against Iverson's close defense, the left flank accelerated to break through.

Iverson also scolded secretly, Li You was a head taller than him, and his body was larger than him, and under passive defense, he was stuck behind him by Li You's fast gyroscope while traveling.

The extraordinary speed of the bullet allowed Iverson to make an effective block, and Li You, who turned to the paint area, grabbed the ball with one hand with his right hand, dodged in the air, and then twisted his wrist to raise the arc and threw the ball to the rebound!

After hitting the board, the basketball spun around the hoop and finally fell into the hoop.

At 34:41, the difference is still 7 points.

"Oh!!"

The wonderful offense made the New York fans on the scene shout happily.

In the following minutes, the two no longer fought alone, but the two sides fought faster and faster.

Defender-driven games have more switching offenses and breakaways are frequent.

Iverson still punched hard, relying on his personal speed, constantly attacking the basket, and Li You played more blocking and pick-and-roll, trying to get everyone involved in the offense.

After repeated off-ball running, Alan Houston once again shook off the defense, came to the left wing outside the three-point line, and threw the ball after receiving a pass from Li You!

"Huh!" Three-point shot hollow into the net!

Alan Houston let out a sigh of relief, and with the number of shots taken in the first quarter, 1 of 6, it was finally scored...

At 40:48, the Knicks widened the margin by another drop.

After the 76ers acquired Stackhouse, Iverson also gave up some shots and put more energy on the defensive end.

The stubborn kraft candy defense also affected Li You's offense.

In this offense, outside the three-point line on the left wing, Li You hit the iron again, and Iverson just wanted to taunt him, but Larry Johnson, who was rotated on the court, grabbed the rebound and caused Coleman's foul again.

Jeff Van Gundy took the opportunity to replace Lee Woo and Charlie Ward re-introduced.

“Good job!”

Patting Li You on the shoulder, Van Gundy, who was out of control, smiled and sent encouragement.

Looking at the young marshal who was a little bald, Li You also smiled and nodded in response, and high-fived the atmosphere masters on the bench in celebration, and then sat down in his seat.

The commentator in the commentary seat, John Andaris, saw that Li You had put on his coat and said with some regret:

"With 8 minutes and 53 seconds played, Lee almost dominated the team's second quarter scores, and Coach Van Gundy should have given him more playing time."

6 of 8, 2 of 4 from beyond the three-point line, 3 of 3 free throws, 17 points, 1 rebound, 2 assists and 1 steal, the picky New York fans were also very satisfied at this time, cheering and applauding for Li You, who was off the court.

Commentator Marv-Albert jokingly added:

"Maybe it's the All-American live broadcast that made Alan Houston too nervous, and tonight he played more like a rookie, otherwise Lee would have had two more assists."

In the final four minutes of the second quarter, the main lineup returned, and Patrick Ewing and Larry Johnson began to take turns attacking in the low post.

Coupled with the constant struggle for frontcourt rebounds, Iverson's transition offense completely disappeared, and the two frames were also hit.

At the critical moment, Stackhouse's two three-pointers helped the 76ers bite the score, but the New York fans at the scene could see that the other party couldn't stand it!

At halftime, the score was fixed at 49:57, and the Knicks went into the second half with an eight-point lead.

There is no need for Van Gundy's chicken soup to stimulate, Ewing, who was 4 of 11 in the half and only scored 8 points, didn't want to be robbed of the limelight by a rookie, and in the third quarter of the game, he worked hard and kept asking for the ball.

The 76ers' defense did not withstand the impact of the gorillas, 6 of 9 in the single quarter, and Ewing angrily slashed 12 points and 7 rebounds...

The main lineup, except for Alan Houston, played the whole 3rd quarter...

At 73:83, at the end of the third quarter, the Knicks had taken a double-digit lead.

Although the game was going to be won, the fans at the scene didn't feel like it was enjoyable, and Iverson also completely exploded in the third quarter, 5 of 7, 3 of 4 from beyond the three-point line, and scored 15 points efficiently.

“ We want Lee! ...”

There were only scattered shouts at first, and seeing that Charlie Ward was still on the court in the fourth quarter, the voices grew louder.

Alan Houston, who was also sitting on the bench, whispered to Li You, who was next to him, and quipped:

"Listen to these shouts, you've become a big star!"

Li You shrugged his shoulders, smiled and didn't speak, who the audience likes to watch, that's everyone's freedom, all he has to do is wait for the opportunity:

"The old guys will always pull across, time is on my side!"
