Super Basketball Manager

Chapter 47 The situation changes suddenly
The time is 4 minutes and 24 seconds in the first quarter, the score is 17:10
Ruhr replaced Lowry, Budinger replaced Ariza, and Dorsey replaced Hayes.

The Rockets entered the normal rotation lineup.

At this time, the Nuggets used the old Miller to play point guard, Allen Iverson, JR-Smith, Nene went into battle again, and Camby.

The scene cuts to Anthony with a gloomy expression... 4 points and 2 fouls.

"Carmelo is not ready!"

"Yeah, Karl benched him."

"This game may give him a headache, and Trevor tried his best to fight him."

The 2 fouls put him on the bench to protect him, and the Nuggets are not stupid enough to have a superstar.Ron thought to himself, holding the radio to his chest.

He understands that in a game with 48 minutes in four quarters, it is impossible for you to limit the performance of an All-Star in every quarter. He will definitely explode. The key is that before that, the Rockets must seize the opportunity and try to widen the score.

Miller Sr. holds the ball and advances slowly. He is calm and calm. Ruhr is a little timid. He was still playing in the Development League the day before.

Sure enough, the Nuggets have changed. Nene came out to help the old Miller pick and roll. As a result, the Argentine panicked for a while, and two people surrounded Andre Miller who was running open. Mayo, who was playing a swingman, had to rush to make up for it...

Nene looks fierce, but he has a mid-range shot, which makes JR Smith slip to the bottom line, his favorite 90-degree three-point position, but Nene doesn't even look at him, and gives the ball to Iverson who comes from the other side...

Iverson looked at JR in the bottom corner when he received the ball, but the ball passed to Camby in the opposite direction... Dorsey was already on the way to defend Smith, Camby caught the ball and made an open jump shot, and the ball went into the net...

No-look-pass!
In the NBA, most of the nolook passes that can arouse unanimous applause from the audience and commentators off the court are passes that can be directly converted into assists.

Everyone exclaimed!The lonely hero status in Philadelphia is still there!

He is no longer the rebellious and lonely hero of the past, he is just Iverson, a starting shooting guard for the Nuggets...

Without roaring or provocation, he wiped the sweat from his forehead while making a return visit...

The hero is late, but the fighting spirit never dies!
The Nuggets suddenly played a suffocating defense, and Iverson clung to the Rockets' arrow figure Mayo like a flashback.

Facing the sudden prosperity of his predecessors, Mayo had lingering fears and slowed down the rhythm of the attack.

The ball was directed towards Scola, and the Argentine had just dribbled down a step when suddenly a black shadow sprang out and stole the ball from the ground!
It's Iverson!

The Argentine turned pale with fright. One second ago, he was clearly seen sticking to Mayo, but the moment he lowered his head, he rushed to him!

Amazing!

"Iverson stole Scola's ball! God, he's in good shape! It's a sliding interception, and he's telling everyone, let them not forget, he has entered the defensive first team 5 times, and the league's steals leader 4 times!"

The radio was boiling, and Ron was shocked. There are always unexpected things happening in the NBA, and this is its unique charm!
"He speeded up the change of direction! He felt like he was back 10 years ago! Who was so unlucky to meet the 'answer' of the state? It was Budinger!"

Budinger?This guy is inherently slow to move laterally!

"Budinger tried to stop him with his height, but Iverson made him understand the offensive style of the greatest small shooting guard in history..."

"Continuously dribbling the ball under the crotch, he seems to be enjoying the game! Horizontal breakthrough! What is Budinger doing? His reaction seems to be much slower. He turned his head and chased after him, and Ruhr had to make up for it..."

"The old Miller moved to the top of the arc, and he quickly received a pass from Iverson...Successfully hit a 3-pointer! 22:20! The Nuggets gradually chased the score back!"

...

To choose to pass the ball without an 'ankle stopper' with two first-year rookies in his background?

The sliding steal just now, if he follows the past, he will definitely choose a fancy one-stop attack to end this attack...

Some die-hard fans of the answers at the scene held their heads in disappointment, but he remained calm and backed away expressionlessly.

The Rockets quickly adjusted their tactics, allowing Budinger to defend against the slow old Miller, and the dexterous Ruhr to defend against Iverson...

Cross-over!Stepping down to dribble, disguise, arranging flowers, Iverson's god-like eyes made Ruhr feel no sense of existence for a while, he could only back up, back up... He was covered in cold sweat, and he glanced slightly, his back foot was already on the free throw line...

Iverson suddenly stepped back and stepped on the three-point line to make a shot!

Swish!Hollow into the basket, the score was 22:22! 26 seconds!
These 7 points all came from Iverson. He seems to have dominated the game in the past few rounds. On the Nuggets bench, they waved a towel and applauded him. Even Anthony was happy. He finally smiled, and then stared at the challenge of the rising star Mayo with a calm face...

"Mayo looked at the time, he was going to play against the time!"

There is a close-up of the camera in front of him. Mayo holds the ball with one hand, waiting for the passage of time, while Iverson calmly lowers his body and opens his hand. This is a duel between two old and new stars!

Ron was glued to the radio, he couldn't wait to run to the scene to watch...

15 seconds...

10 seconds...

8 seconds...

Mayo starts suddenly, Cross-over!The crotch changes direction!He actually resorted to the other party's unique skill of fame!Suddenly swinging from side to side, pull it up and shoot!
Iverson was dumbfounded!He could only try to stretch out his hand to interfere, but the distance between the two sides was suddenly opened so far...

One staggered and almost slipped!
It's Ankle Terminator!
Everyone was shocked!

Use his tricks in front of Iverson to shame him!
Iverson could only turn his head back in a daze, and everyone held their breath!Watching the ball draw a beautiful arc...

Hollow into the basket!

"It's incredible! The Rockets No. 23! New aid! OJ Mayo!"

"He chose to use the 'ankle terminator' to end Iverson's sudden explosion!"

"There's never been a newcomer who passed through the seniors! But he didn't mock and talk trash like most people!"

"Yes! He just gave the other person a look, as if to tell the other person: 'Remember my name!'"

Ron was overjoyed, his palms were sweating...

24:22 An unforgettable confrontation was played at the end of the first quarter!

Mayo ran to the backcourt, and before leaving, he just glanced back at Iverson.

"Interesting!" Iverson laughed, and he glanced at the time above, 6 seconds.

The old Miller dribbled and broke through, and it took 4 seconds to break through Ruhr's press. Iverson went from the bottom line to the top of the arc. Nene and Camby stood up for him at the same time. All Nuggets players understood the meaning of the soldier balloon.

When the electronic chronograph reads 2 seconds, Iverson catches the ball, faces Mayo, and raises his hand slightly...

feint?This was the thought that flashed in Mayo's mind at the time.

The knees are bent!He is going to vote!Time is running out, he can't Cross-over!

Mayo pounced before he could think about it.

Cross-over!In such a short period of time, he still deceived Mayo, and turned away from Mayo with his familiar crotch. In front of him was the hinterland of the penalty area. All the Rockets players watched him desperately rushing to the inside, and it only took 0 seconds!
"It's not over yet!" Mayo kicked the ground, using the recoil to catch up to Iverson, and covered Iverson's eyes with his hands...

"It's rare to see even OJ Mayo go all out to defend!" Drexler sighed in disbelief at the scene.

Just like lightning, Mayo's eyes widened. He staggered and fell to the ground. Sitting on the ground, he suddenly looked up and saw Iverson a few meters away from him!
what?
"This is impossible!"

Ankle Terminator!In just 2 seconds, Iverson still chose to use his most proud stunt to give a powerful counterattack to the best of the new generation!

Obviously, the inside line is fully open, but he is still that cold-blooded killer, and he still proves that he is a fighter.He even stepped back to the 3-point line, shot the ball at the buzzer...

Under those firm eyes grinned the most confident smile!
hum!The timer sounded, the ball slammed into the frame impartially, and the crisp sound made all the fans on the scene still not calm down for a while...

A 3-pointer at the buzzer!
24:25!The Nuggets overtook the score at the end of the first quarter!Iverson raised his arms and shouted wildly, his fierce eyes stared at Mayo who was sitting on the ground and his mind was still in a state of blankness...

"It's worth it! Houston fans must think again, the money spent on this game ticket must be worth it..."

"The new Rockets played a refreshing combination, but they were unlucky to meet a team with two All-Stars..."

"Even if Anthony doesn't feel good, and Iverson...he is a fighter, he will never accept defeat and sit still!"

"Iverson responded the way he did, the Rockets are in trouble..."

Indeed, Iverson's outbreak was not terrible. Ron knew that as a veteran, he could not maintain this fiery state all the time, but the Nuggets in front of him were a childish army. Once someone set an example, the consequences would be disastrous.

Maybe the game is over...

The rest is just a matter of time...

Sure enough, at the beginning of the second quarter, Karl let Iverson take a break, but the most terrifying person in the game in Aerocity came back, Carmelo Anthony!
Even Trevor Ariza's presence won't change anything.

The situation on the field has begun to change!
Anthony alone was enough to make people desperate, but everyone was surprised to find that they were facing an Anthony who was willing to pass the ball. At this moment, in Mayo, just after Scola came off the field, Nene and Kenyon Martin blew a whirlwind of dunks in the Rockets penalty area.

Anthony was negligent on the court, shooting left and right, and Adelman called 2 short timeouts in a row with various dazzling offensive methods. His defender changed from the agile Ariza to the strong Hayes, but the effect still did not improve.

Ron stayed in the car in the underground parking lot, frustrated by the score gradually unfolding on the radio...

This is due to the limit of the civilian team. When someone needs to score, no one can stand up. The score was stretched from 25:28 to 35:46. After the main lineups of both sides returned, the scene did not change.

Mayo held the ball, held it up high, and used his height to hit Iverson, but the effect was not good, the ball frequently swished out of the frame, and he seemed to have not come out of the shadow at the end of the first quarter.

Anthony made a one-stop fast break. He forcibly leaned on Ariza for a layup.

Scola also has nothing to do, maybe there is only Nene in front of him, but he must always beware of Iverson who slashed out from the diagonal stab and Camby who flew behind him...

Everyone knows that Haiye's attack power is almost zero, and many times Camby dropped Hayes, who dropped the pick-and-roll, and chased Lowry.

The point difference will only get bigger and bigger, and many fans at the scene showed frustrated expressions, and many fans began to boo... Several commentators on the TNT scene have already started talking about it after the fact.

"I miss Battier so much right now..."

"Yeah! Carmelo is a good player, but he's more than enough to be as neglected as he is now."

"Yes, the Rockets must get out of this deadlock, but without Brooks's nerve knife, no one is enough to turn things around..."

"It turns out that Kyle Lowry..."

With a "click", Ron cut off the battery of the radio. He adjusted his appearance in the rearview mirror, opened the car door, and went to the locker room...

Budinger made a desperate shot and missed the frame. At the end of the first half, seeing Anthony's childlike smile and Yao Ming's frown, you knew the situation on the field.

47:64, if it weren't for the expensive tickets, many fans would have been ready to leave the stadium long ago.

In fact, Karl is really a very good coach.Only a few people on the court saw the clues on the court.

With his hands in his pockets, Ron glanced at the old man who was walking towards the dressing room from the VIP room. He knew in his heart that everything before the sudden change began with that change...

The Rockets couldn't do damage to the Nuggets' inside line at all. Scola alone could not do it alone. In the first half, he made 5 of 1, 2 points and 5 rebounds.

While the Nuggets can wantonly rely on their personal talents to kill the Rockets in the hinterland of the penalty area, Adelman's Princeton would have relied on big centers to support and rebound.Neither Dorsey nor Hayes, Jordan Hill can do this.

ESPN and TNT and even the Rockets' own commentators have turned their backs, unanimously declaring that the Rockets have no hope in the second half.

It looks so right...

But only Ron knew in his heart that there was still a chance.

And thanks to that last snarky afterthought before he cut off the radio.

"It turns out that Kyle Lowry doesn't have the strength to start at all..."

In almost every position, the Rockets are suppressed by the Nuggets...

But there is a position where the Rockets have been criticized for many years, but this time it has not become a burden.

It is also this critical position that will soon become the only winning point for the Rockets.

Kyle Lowry…

Unleash all your past anger!Let everyone surprise!
You are a super hot cannon!
