Card Bishop of Basketball

Chapter 64 The Hornets Won? (two-in-one 4500-word chapter)
The Hornets did not call a timeout, Delk advanced with the ball, handed it to the frontcourt, and returned it to Glenn Rice!
Glenn Rice dribbles the ball slowly, and Ma Jian opens his arms and takes small nervous steps with his feet, which allows him to quickly adjust his position. The effect of preventing breakthroughs may not be ideal, but it is still very good when it comes to preventing shots.

Dribble the ball calmly, the time on the timer passed by second by second, Ma Jian’s psychological pressure is also increasing, he still dare not step forward to press, if this situation fails, the fans will criticize him for a lifetime black material.

Ma Jian may not know that in the future NBA, there will be a man named George...

Whether he knows it or not, it is estimated that he will play very happily during this time. The Hornets have Glenn Rice. After the game, the Heat have the monster Mashburn, who is lucky enough to break into the Eastern Conference finals. The Bulls also have Pippen. This background Board, I, Ma, will be sure!

Well, Ma Jian is praying every day now that the Jazz can enter the finals. Why? The Rockets have Glider Drexler, and the Lakers have Eddie Jones. After looking around, the Jazz’s Brian Russell Well, it looks a bit easy to bully.

Divac moved forward quickly, the first pick-and-roll, Ma Jian was close to Rice, the ball was not blocked, but Ma Jian also missed a little position because of squeezing the pick-and-roll, and Rice pulled out!
Ma Jian's interference from this ball was very strong. Rice hit the inner edge of the backboard, bounced high, and then spun and hollowed into the net again!The goal light was on, and Rice scored again at the buzzer! 81 to 89, with such a score, entered the last quarter of the game amidst the cheers of the audience on the sidelines.

Les, who went berserk, played Ma Jian very efficiently. He made Ma Jian cry every time he hit one. It is easier for teammates to score.

Ma Jian on the sidelines has been drooping his head, and his mentality has really collapsed after being hit. Every ball is made with special efforts, and every ball is scored with various difficulties. These balls are played very emotionally.

"Coach Meng, what do you think of Ma Jian's performance on the field?" Just as Meng Yifan was staring at Glenn Rice in silence, a microphone suddenly appeared in front of Meng Yifan.

Meng Yifan looked up, it was a reporter from Huaxia TV station, and next to him was an old man carrying a black cannon, pointing the black cannon barrel at him.

To be honest, this attitude is more or less awkward. Shouldn’t you report your family name before interviewing people? Meng Yifan frowned, but seeing that he was in a foreign country, it was not easy to meet a Chinese. With a short break, Meng Yifan didn't worry about these problems.

"Ma Jian played very well in this game. His offensive performance was remarkable. He also contributed to the team many times by catching three-pointers. He performed quite well." Meng Yifan thought about his words and tried his best to Pick something to say.

As for the defensive end... What can I say about being blown up by Glenn Rice.

"Then Coach Meng, why do you think Ma Jian's defensive end is constantly being overwhelmed by unknown players on the opposite side?"

Hey, which pot is not opened and which pot is lifted, isn't this just looking for trouble, how is Ma Jian's defensive end, needless to say?
"First of all, Ma Jian is playing against a top star in the NBA, not a so-called nobody. Secondly, all of Ma Jian's defensive choices are the best choices, but his opponent feels too good, so there is no way." Meng Yi Van replied.

Meng Yifan's answer didn't have anything to dig out. The reporter turned around disappointedly and took the photographer away. I left gently, just as I came gently, I waved lightly without taking a cloud.

Looking at their leaving backs, Meng Yifan shook his head. With this posture, those who didn't know would think they were still filming in China. With this interview attitude, they would be rejected sooner or later.

The game started in the fourth quarter. Because Big Z jumped to the ball in the first quarter, the ball belonged to Philadelphia in the fourth quarter.

(Note: Jumping to the ball, 1, 4 quarters, not jumping, 2, 3 quarters.)
Philadelphia's lineup at this time, Iverson, Jeff Malone, McCarty, Malik Rose, and the bus

And the Hornets lineup, Boggs, Delk, Dell Curry, Divac and Matt Geiger
The Hornets have three small men in the lineup, all of whom can shoot. Visually, it is Divac who is organizing from the high post, and then the little man cuts to the basket or shoots from outside to score. Matt Geiger is a blue-collar insider with good rebounding ability and is good at grabbing boards. After the second attack, but facing the bus, he is also a younger brother.

Iverson dribbled the ball to the front court and gave the ball to the bus who was stuck in the low position. The bus got the ball and squeezed hard. Divac stepped forward to double-team, but the bus turned around flexibly and scored the ball.

Meng Yifan watched it for a long time, but still couldn't understand. If Iverson is only used as a dribbling tool, then what's the point of having Iverson? In the process of transitioning from the bench, it is enough to have a single strong point, there is no need for two people Put them all on top.

81 to 91, Philadelphia opened the point difference to 10 points.

Divac held the ball in a high position, and the Hornets had three small cross-runners outside. With the help of Geiger, Curry, who was running without the ball, ran out of an open space. After a while, the three-pointer fired and entered the net steadily.

The low position was given to the bus again. The position of the ball inside was not very good. He forced a hard squeeze and rushed to the basket. Facing the double-teaming of two people, the bus who lost his vision half-turned and tried to hook...

The ball failed to score, Gate stuck the bus, Divac took the rebound, and made a direct long pass. Boggs, who took the lead, made a fast break layup. Iverson has not rested for a minute since the beginning of the game. At this time, it was more or less unable to keep up with the speed.

In less than 1 minute, the point difference came to a dangerous 5 points in an instant, and Iverson started singles with the ball.

If you want to talk about the Hornets lineup, you are afraid of forwards and guards with strong singles ability. Although Philadelphia does not have a small forward with outstanding singles ability, Philadelphia's guards are capable of singles, and there are a lot of them.

Dribble, change direction, left, no, it’s the breakthrough from the right that he is famous for, it’s not right, the ball turned around, it’s going to the left...

"Boom", Boggs, who was dazed by Iverson, stumbled and fell to the ground directly, while Iverson hit a jumper from the middle distance on the right.

There was an uproar on the sidelines, it was Xiao Chong Boggs who used his skillful ball-handling skills to knock down all the outside sluggers, but Xiao Chong, who had received countless ankles today, was shaken to the ground!

"Oh, Iverson, this ball really has a good sense of rhythm. Don't look at him on the other side. He is small and stable, but he is still swayed by Iverson." Slapping the thigh, when will there be a point guard like Iverson in China, it would be great.

However, Iverson's mood is not very good. When the regular season is weak, he has no objection to large-scale training. Even if he sacrifices a little personal data, as long as the bench is trained, it is not unacceptable.

As a result, in the playoffs, Philadelphia’s bench bandits in the regular season were all abandoned. Only coolie insider Malik Rose could still get the favor of some old coaches. Iverson’s playing time was as high as 43 minutes per game. There is no time to rest.

Good guy, when the confrontation is weak, I practice the substitute on a large scale, and then I don’t shoot the substitute, and I don’t need the substitute in the playoffs. Iverson doesn’t understand. What’s the point of doing this...

If you don't understand it, don't think about it. After all, the old coach Thompson was kind to himself back then. Iverson still respects the old coach, so he can only use the Hornets to vent his anger.

Divac once again held the ball in a high position to organize, and Watts dealt the cards online. Delk had a three-point chance in the corner...

Delk missed a three-pointer, but the ball bounced far away and the outside line was in chaos. In the end, Boggs, with his size advantage, controlled the ball in the chaotic army and gave it to Divac in the high position.

Divac catches the ball and shoots directly. The trajectory of the ball is very positive. After two bounces, it falls into the net. The point difference comes to 5 points again. "defence"

This is the scarcity of the old American language. If it is used in China, there will be all kinds of strange things off the court, such as "pretending to be him", "covering him", and "fucking him"... Anyway, there are all kinds of mess, and then If you look at foreigners, you can do nothing with just one defense.

Iverson broke through to the inside, and the opponent's three small men all surrounded him. If you want to say that the Hornets lineup, the outside line is really short, Xiao Chong 161, Delk 185, and Curry 193.

Being small means that he is light and nimble, and quickly double-teamed Iverson. Iverson didn't hit hard with the head, but gave the ball to McCarty who was open outside.

McCarty made a three-pointer, but he didn't have many shots in the entire series. If you say that he can play and score goals, he is not a role player, but a leading star.

Bus grabbed the offensive rebound, chased and intercepted under the basket, Bus gave the ball to Malik Rose, and Rose made a short-range mid-range shot, but Divac turned around in time to interfere, and Rose missed the shot.

Gate pointed out the rebound, the old Curry flew to catch the ball, and the Hornets moved again to organize the offense.

"Hey, these role players in Philadelphia, all of them performed well in the regular season, and they all pulled their hips in the playoffs. There is no defensive player within three meters of McCarty. It's a pity that he couldn't make a shot. gone."

"Bu, a key rebound. This ball opportunity is not very good. The ball is given to Rose. At this position, Rose is not disturbed for the time being. This ball..."

"Oh my god, this didn't go in. The Hornets advanced so fast that the bus didn't have time to return to the defense... Dell Curry!!! Direct three points."

Not only the Chinese fans in front of the TV, but even the Hornets fans were taken aback. The inside line didn't fall, so they directly shot a three-pointer. They really dared to throw it, and they really dared to make it!The old Curry has been completely hilarious.

91 to 93, the Hornets frantically chased points in the fourth quarter, and almost didn't fill in all the holes in front.

The old coach Thompson called a timeout and put all the main players on the court in advance. The old Malone couldn't keep up with the old Curry.

Returning from the timeout, Richmond faced Delk, caught the ball near the free throw line, dribbled a few times to find the touch, made a shot after a direct confrontation, and scored a stable mid-range shot. The referee indicated that two points are valid, and an additional penalty was added.

This ball is a bit interesting. To be honest, Delk has touched the ball, but it is in the category of blowing or not blowing. After all, it does not cause much interference to Richmond, and it is at the home of the Hornets. The whistle …

The referee didn't think much about it. What kind of thing is Delk? This year's young rookie is facing Richmond, a veteran star who has dominated the league for many years. There are still.

Although it is the Hornets' home court right now, which one is more worthy of praise, a Charlotte fan or a Chinese fan, Stern has already emphasized.

The Hornets also took Delk, and replaced Glenn Rice, who loves Ma Jian the most, and Anthony Mason Jr., who fought passionately with the bus. Boggs is still on the court, and Iverson is exhausted. Many people Everyone has seen the problem. Putting the vengeful bug on the field at this time, maybe there will be unexpected gains.

As for the issue of defensive weakness... Delk's defense is not good, and he is like a big colander against Iverson. In this case, it is better to find someone who looks more reliable offensively.

Richmond made a steady free throw and got back to 5 points. Rice took the ball and was still singles Ma Jian!

"Glenn Rice! Still looking for Ma Jian, I really treat Ma Jian like a persimmon."

"Rice swayed, this ball horse was very sticky, and he almost kissed him. Rice broke through on the right side, made an emergency stop, and there are still more difficult shots!"

Not only Ma Jian's mentality has collapsed, but the mentality of domestic fans is also estimated to have collapsed. Doesn't this mean that Ma Jian went to Laomei's side to exercise so hard, why did he turn on the TV and was blown away by military training?

Facing Boggs' defense, Iverson directly cast a cold arrow and shot a three-pointer. In Georgetown, Meng Yifan deliberately asked them to practice three-pointers. Not bad, the ball hits the board and goes into the basket. At the critical moment, it depends on the star. After all, the role players are watching from the sidelines, and they can't touch the ball.

Of course, the critical moment is handed over to the star because the star's skills and physical condition are better than the role players, and because the star has been in the league for many years, whether it is the induction of defensive players, psychological control, or Calling the referee, They all know it well.Therefore, it is relatively better to give the ball to the star at the critical moment.

However, among the people in Philadelphia, the leader is Iverson, the No. [-] pick, and the second leader is Richmond, who has a gentle temper and does not fight. The bus is basically dominated by young people, and it needs to be tempered to have the determination to dare to shoot at critical moments.

With the help of the pick-and-roll, Boggs quickly shot a three-pointer. The ball met Ma Jian's fingertips who were defending, and scored!It's really whoever hits Ma Jian. Ma Jian probably won't be able to clean up today.

In the fourth quarter, the game was very tense, and the point difference was not big. The Hornets, who were all on the line, did not lose the wind against Philadelphia. The two sides went back and forth many times. I was out of breath.

The Hornets trailed by 17 points with 2 seconds left in the game, held the ball, and had a chance for a lore.

The audience opened up, and Lesti didn't know how many times he singled Ma Jian. The fans were also desperate. They agreed with the coaching staff. Ma Jian was already the most reliable defender on the Philadelphia front line. Even Ma Jian If you can't guard against it, who else can guard against Rice?Count on that Bowen who can't jump high or run?is it possible?
With five seconds left, Rice started, but what he never expected was that Ma Jian, who had always been his background board, actually took the initiative to steal the ball forward. When Rice started, he liked to hit the ball from the right side first. He is not very skilled at dribbling with his left hand, but Ma Jian observed his habitual movements and directly poked the ball away!
In an instant, all the players on the outside rushed to the ball rolling towards the backcourt, bug Boggs, Iverson, Richmond, old Curry, Glenn Rice, Ma Jian, one by one They all rushed up like hungry wolves looking at their prey.

Iverson was the first to touch the basketball, but as soon as Iverson, who was running around the whole game, got the ball, Xiao Chong Boggs grabbed the ball into his arms, threw him to the ground, and there was chaos , Dial the ball to the old Curry beside him.

"Buzz~" The buzzer sounded, and the old Curry threw out his own three-point line in the backcourt. The ball bounced directly on the backboard and the basket several times, and then stumbled into the ball frame...

This is very metaphysical. You know, when old Curry made a move, it was Ma Jian who interfered in front of him...

The sidelines cheered, the Hornets fans finally won a victory in their own stadium, bouncing around, as happy as celebrating the new year.

Meng Yifan looked at Ma Jian, who was resting on his knees with his hands on the sidelines, with a look of resignation on his face, and wondered in his heart, did the Hornets really win?
