Chapter 366 366. How to limit Iverson?
刘秀首节出手8次，这还不算那些造成犯规的出手，8投3中，其中三分球3中1，加上4中3的罚球，单节拿到10分2板1盖帽。

Relying on having three frontcourts, he can make shots.

Iverson looked at the data comparison between him and Liu Xiu on the big screen. He had 4 assists, while Liu Xiu had no assists in the first quarter.

This feels very subtle, and the opponent's game performance is also very different from what he perceives.

However, seeing the score, Iverson had to admit that this guy is really good at seizing opportunities.

In his place, if he had such an inside teammate, he would have only one goal - averaging 37.2 points per game.

……

Entering the intermission, the Trail Blazers coaching staff feels a lot of pressure.

It has nothing to do with the offense. Liu Xiu's 15 shots are still a great threat. Even if the shooting percentage is not high, they can still restrain the opponent's defense. They can use this to play a team offense.

This has to talk about the benefits of a "shooting guard" who is only responsible for scoring in the traditional sense. Liu Xiu's shooting guard is just a puzzle in the team's offense, and his teammates have great room for adjustment and play.

This has relatively high requirements for teammates and requires multiple teammates who can pass the ball, and this is not a problem for the Trail Blazers at all.

The problem is defense.

They couldn't guard Iverson.

Liu Xiu first, Payton, Derek Anderson, and Lynch Hunter have all tried it. Not to mention restraint, it is difficult to create a good defensive environment for teammates. Only the flanking attack of early movement, so 76 The rest of the team has more opportunities, and the 76ers can pass the ball from the 1st to the 4th position.

It's not just the Trail Blazers that have this situation. Most teams in the West can't do anything about Iverson. Iverson has played wildly against Western teams this year. Playing the Western Conference team averaged 27 six points per game.

This has to be said about the distribution of players in the east and west. The inside line is strong in the west and weak in the east. O'Neal can't change this situation if he goes to the east; but for guards, the east as a whole is better than the west.

Just looking at the defense, the defenders whose defensive performance has reached the best defensive team level this season, there are Kidd, McGrady, Billups, Wade, Larry Hughes, Hinrich in the East...there is only Kobe in the West.

The characteristic of Iverson is that the better he plays, the stronger the team he leads. The classic battle: On June 2001, 6, Iverson led the team with 6 points and destroyed the Lakers' unbeaten championship. .

So although the general situation is that the west is strong and the east is weak, the western team has an overall advantage over the eastern team. Even the Pistons and the Heat, the top four in the Eastern Conference, have mixed results against the western team at best...but the 76ers The team is different. They beat the Western Conference team with 5 wins and 3 losses, and they have an overall advantage.

According to the research of the 76ers' games, the 76ers will always play better and better under the leadership of Iverson in the anxious start of the game, with a high winning rate.

Those teams that can beat the 76ers relatively easily are basically playing against the 76ers from the beginning, and the way to play against the 76ers is that the defensive end can limit Iverson.

But they have tried the back line of the Trail Blazers, but they can't defend. The first line of defense of the players is almost useless, and the defensive coaching ability is as strong as Jeff Bzdelik.

Oh, no, there is another player who has never tried to let him guard Iverson, he would probably be very happy - Little Flying Squirrel is moving his body excitedly, he hasn't played against Iverson for more than a year, so happy.

Forget it, Maurice Cheeks doesn't think so much anymore, just play normally, they are still leading now, just afraid of Iverson, it doesn't mean that if this continues, he will definitely lose, he still has confidence in his team Very sufficient.

Just when Maurice Cheeks was about to arrange the normal rotation and look at the tactics first, he saw a handsome guy eating candied haws coming to his side, his eyes lit up, and several assistant coaches also surrounded him come up.

Candied haws, the most popular Chinese snack in Portland at the moment.

Sure enough, as the coach thought, the jailer said: "Coach, I have an immature suggestion..."

The outlaw who got a candied haws from the warden is happily tasting the warden’s handiwork. He almost tried all the candied haws sold on the streets of Portland, but none of them were as good as the ones brought by the warden. The candied haws were delicious, and he concluded that it was made by the warden himself. After all, the warden is so versatile...Suddenly, he felt cold sweat on his back.

Why do you feel that something terrible is coming?

……

Back from the intermission, the two teams played in rotation.

The 76ers sent a combination of Iverson, Korver, Collis Williams, Kenny Thomas, and Mark Jackson.

Iverson continues to play, and he has averaged 44 minutes per game so far this season, ranking first in the league.

The Trail Blazers sent a combination of Payton, Liu Xiu, outlaws, Raheem, and Kwame Brown.

The lineup rotation of the Trail Blazers surprised the 76ers. Flying Squirrel didn't play?

In the lineup of the 76ers, the 2nd to 5th positions are all players who help defend more than single defense. They believe that the Trail Blazers will focus on Iverson after the little flying mouse is on, so they send out such a lineup .

At the beginning of the second quarter, the 76ers took the lead.

Iverson received the serve and advanced to the front court, and another situation that surprised him appeared!

It's not Liu Xiu, or even Payton, who is guarding the top arc, but a second-year high school student!
The extrajudicial fanatic is now sweating in his palms, his premonition has become a reality, and a terrible thing has happened-the coach boldly asked him to defend Iverson!
Iverson became so angry that he started playing singles!
breakthrough!

The extrajudicial lunatic moved quickly, he didn't dare to think too much now, only one thing repeatedly emphasized by the coach and the warden was 'no jumping'.

Iverson didn't give the outlaws a chance to use their bodies to fight against the suppression, and the super-top speed went straight to the inside.

But when approaching the three-second zone, Iverson suddenly stopped and turned around to pull back, and the outlaws quickly pressed up.

Although the outlaw fanatic didn't take off when he pressed down this time, he was dead with all his strength. Iverson pulled horizontally again, accelerated, and successfully passed the outlaw fanatic.

But at this time, Liu Xiu had already defended in place, and Iverson went straight to the basket against the defense, took off in the confrontation, and pulled the bar for a layup... The ball spun and hit the neck of the basket and bumped into the frame!

The extrajudicial lunatic who chased in was very frustrated. Although he thought the team's arrangement was unreasonable, it was a fact that he did not do well what the team arranged.

When the extrajudicial fanatic picked up the ball and sent it to Payton, an angelic voice came to his ears: "If you can make Iverson do more moves and change directions in singles, let him be forced If you make a technical move that is not prepared, it is considered a very good job, and you did a great job just now."

The voice is like an angel, and so is the look!

The extrajudicial lunatic saw the warden who seemed to be shining with light on his body, and responded excitedly: "I know! I will continue to work hard!"

"Come on, after all, I can't expect you to do more." After finishing speaking, Liu Xiu ran forward after healed.

The holy light in the eyes of outlaw lunatics is shattered...

"Did you guard Iverson?" The extrajudicial lunatic roared and followed Liu Xiu to the frontcourt.

However, although he was terribly angry, the extrajudicial fanatic felt that after he had a few chats with the warden, his depression and overexcitement were all controlled...but the anger is real!
The outlaw lunatic has a dream-to beat the warden one day... I saw the warden run to the front court and confronted the opponent's two-meter-tall, 110-kilogram Collis Williams Take a look at the picture of not losing money, and then think back to the picture of the warden venting wildly on the sandbag before the game every day...Defend well!
Raheem played against Kenny Thomas in singles, and Little Momonga was not replaced. At this stage, the main point of singles became Raheem. He played the Christmas game for the first time in his career. Jim was very excited.

Raheem made a breakthrough with a tentative step, turned around and made a layup, 33 to 29, and the Trail Blazers continued to maintain a 4-point lead.

Offensive and defensive transitions, the 76ers attacked, and Iverson continued to single out the outlaws.

Iverson felt the pressure!The pressure of being hooded in the air!

Just now when he was about to rush to the close range, he suddenly withdrew outwards because he found that even if he could directly rush to the basket, he still couldn't get rid of the shadow of the outsider. Grade high school distractions.

So high school students are so annoying, always so difficult to deal with!
Fortunately, there is already a way to deal with it. Iverson followed the same pattern to attack just now, but!His strategy of diving deep and withdrawing to attract the outlaws to pounce on him failed, and the high school student just continued to block the threat!

Iverson made all the moves to retreat. The opponent didn't press up, so he decisively chose to take advantage of the situation and take a shot. He was defensive and leaned back when the outlaws pressed up...but the shot missed!

Kwame Brown stuck in the position, and Liu Xiu, who contracted to defend Iverson and changed his direction to break through, grabbed the defensive rebound and counterattacked... Failed, Iverson rushed in to block, full of enthusiasm, Liu Xiu protected the ball and passed Payton, lost the opportunity to counterattack, without Little Momonga, the defensive counterattack at the beginning of the second quarter was greatly affected.

But this negative impact is nothing compared to the positive impact of the extrajudicial fanatics on Iverson's defense!
Although the ordinary supplementary defense talent is a waste of his mobility, height, wingspan, jumping... But his talent in single defense is excellent!In the second round, there will be self-adjustment.

Obviously, the extrajudicial fanatics did not defend Iverson with a single defense, but from a certain angle, it can be seen that the extrajudicial fanatics made Iverson need to do more on the offensive end to get rid of the defense and hit shots!
And this is enough for the Trail Blazers players!The more time Iverson spends dealing with outlaws, the better opportunities the Trail Blazers players will have to make up defenses to limit Iverson's scoring and increase the difficulty of Iverson's offense!
With genius defensive adjustments, the Trail Blazers players admire the new defensive assistant even more.

Liu Xiu hides his achievements and fame, and only wants to score!
