I didn't want to fly away

Chapter 87 Dreaming Back to the Peak?

"The first player to play in this game is the No. 3 player of the Los Angeles Clippers——Allen Iverson!"

November 11, Palace of Auburn Hills, Detroit.

Before the game started, the two teams started to play.

Iverson played for the Clippers for the first time this season, and his first appearance was the first appearance among the starting five tigers.

I have to say that the Clippers have given Iverson the respect he needs.

"Let's welcome number 10 next - Eric Gordon!"

The team's second player was the first to play, and Lu Yi naturally couldn't play behind Iverson.

In order to save a place for Davis, Lu Yi mentioned the small forward position, and Gordon temporarily took the second position.

Once Davis returns from injury, Davis will continue at the No. [-] position, Iverson will play the No. [-] position, and Lu Yi will be temporarily adjusted at the No. [-] position.

Of course, playing against weak teams now, the lineup can continue to try.

Dunleavy also has to try, whether the Clippers can play the same "three guards" like the Warriors under Nelson.

It is said that after Lu Yi should play small forward, Thornton, the Clippers' original starting small forward, was not wronged.

After the debut of center Kaman, Thornton played immediately.

Thornton was referred to the fourth position, which made the Clippers look a little weak inside.

However, as long as the outside firepower is sufficient and the shooting threat is strong enough, Thornton's previous air cuts and breakthrough play can still play a certain role.

That is, the defensive end needs to invest more physical strength and energy.

After a while, both the Clippers and the Pistons came to the court.

Under the arrangement of the referee, the jump ball in the middle circle was also carried out quickly, and the game started.

As usual, Kaman helped the Clippers get the first possession with a jump ball.

Next is Iverson holding the ball, Lu Yi and Gordon walk on both sides, and Thornton and Kaman enter the inside.

The Pistons said they were prepared for the Clippers, and they directly put up a three-two defense to limit the Clippers' outside shots.

However, today the Clippers are in charge of Iverson, and Lu Yi should play small forward again.

Iverson, who took the top arc, came directly to the right, and Lu Yi subconsciously stepped forward to cover.

But Iverson was too fast, and when he approached Lu Yi, he had already started to accelerate.

Originally, Iverson could change direction and pass the defensive player without a screen. This time, he accelerated past Lu Yi, but suddenly pulled to the bottom corner, passed the ball to Lu Yi, and played a pick-and-roll with Lu Yi.

Somewhat unexpectedly, both Rodney Stuckey, who was chasing Iverson, and Jonas Jerebko, who was originally defending Lu Yi, were attracted by Iverson.

Even Big Ben under the basket has a subconscious move towards Iverson.

Since Lu Yi started playing in the NBA, there has never been such a wide shooting space.

Encountering this situation, Lu Yi even froze for a moment.

What about people?I am the leader of the Clippers and the league's leading scorer. Is there no one to guard against?

Seeing Stuckey turn around and pounce on him again, Lu Yi made an outside three-point jumper.

Originally, Lu Yi wanted to help Iverson create better shooting opportunities, but now Iverson has made Lu Yi.

Lu Yi will naturally not let Iverson down.

brush--

The basketball quickly crossed the sky and fell steadily into the net.

3 to 0, with the cooperation of Iverson and Lu Yi, the Clippers took the lead with a three-pointer and scored the first point of the game.

"Accurate! So accurate! Watching your shots on the court is more sensational than off the court." Iverson immediately rushed to Lu Yi's side, full of passion.

Snapped--

Lu Yi immediately clapped hands with Iverson, and said equally excitedly: "I have known for a long time that the two of us are invincible when we play together!
Next, our pick-and-roll will shock the league.

I've never had a defender leave me and chase a teammate before.

Today's ball is also the largest shooting space I have obtained without the ball.

Your ability can help me get more open shots, and my shooting threat will become greater.

Correspondingly, the defensive pressure you encounter when you break into the inside will be much less than before.

Both of our scoring efficiency will be effectively improved, which will bring great help to the team. "

"I believe in you, I believe that what you said is right." Iverson's eyes lit up, and the part that was lost in the past seems to have returned.

Iverson knows that Lu Yi is accurate, but his breakthrough can help Lu Yi get some open shots, which will definitely make Lu Yi's shots more accurate and more threatening.

The young Iverson has first-class speed, ball control, breakthrough skills, and a good mid-range. He doesn't even bother to play pick-and-rolls with his teammates.

But now Iverson's physical fitness has declined due to injuries, and the threat of breakthroughs and shooting threats has also declined.

Before meeting Lu Yi, Iverson could only continue to go downhill.

But now that he has met Lu Yi, in the process of cooperating with Lu Yi, and in the process of Lu Yi's income, Iverson will also benefit and maintain his strength at a certain level.

Iverson believes that in the future, the pick-and-roll between him and Lu Yi will not only be the one round just now, but there will be many, many rounds.

He can help Lu Yi, and Lu Yi can help him, and both of them can contribute to the team on the offensive end.

As for the defensive end, there is nothing Iverson can do to help, and Iverson himself knows this.

In short, seeing the future, Iverson is very excited.

Not the excitement of seeing Stuckey, not at the Palace of Auburn Hills again.

Iverson is very excited to meet excellent and strong teammates who are suitable for him.

Iverson seems to have found the interest and enthusiasm for playing back then. Iverson wants to continue to play in this league and continue to leave his legend.

Iverson wants to re-prove that he is not a waste in the next game, he can still play.

Therefore, Iverson, who re-started after many days, did not appear to be unfamiliar with his skills and difficult to adapt to the team's performance as everyone expected.

On the contrary, he played very methodically, reasonably, and efficiently.

In the past, even Iverson fans had to admit that Iverson played a bit alone and a bit unreasonable.

But in the Clippers, Iverson knew that this was Lu Yi's team, and knew that Lu Yi could help him digest some difficult shots.

Even when Iverson broke through with the ball, the first thing he thought of was not to pass the defender, but to find Lu Yi's position and pass the ball to Lu Yi.

This kind of Iverson has reduced a lot of unreasonable strong shots, but got some open opportunities. Naturally, the shooting percentage is not bad, and the shot selection seems to be much more reasonable.

Coupled with Lu Yi's unique outside shooting ability in the league, Iverson, as a point guard, has no worse assist data than others.

It's just that Iverson's breakthrough speed gradually slowed down because he had someone in his heart.

It's not that Iverson himself has bad legs and feet. After a long game, he can't run anymore.

It's that Iverson will hesitate when he wants to find Lu Yi's position, and he will slow down when he hesitates.

Iverson is short, and as a point guard, he has always had problems with his shooting vision.

When Iverson broke through with the ball, there were also defensive players in front of Lu Yi. Although Lu Yi ran without the ball, he still looked for opportunities to run.

There is no woman in the heart, and the sword is drawn naturally.

Independent players often have sharp breakthroughs.

However, after Iverson had Lu Yi in his heart, his best and most threatening breakthroughs did not decline.

Iverson's breakthrough does not only rely on speed, but also relies on a large number of complex but effective techniques.

Only when Wade slows down will he find that his breakthrough skills are quite superb.The same goes for Iverson who slowed down.

Relying on breakthrough skills and game experience, Iverson's breakthrough threat is still great.

Even after the pick-and-roll did not find Lu Yi, he could stop and launch a "second attack".

After Iverson waited for the defensive player to be in position, he suddenly swayed to the left, but then made a sharp change and rushed to the right.

Iverson's unparalleled breakthrough has become a muscle reaction and an instinct to play.

As long as there is nothing wrong with Iverson's legs, it will be easy for others to learn skills that they cannot learn.

"Haha, it's too easy to win such a game, right?"

"AI, you can go back to the locker room and send a text message to Byron later!"

"Why? What text message?"

"Team safety, don't read! If you continue to play like this, Byron may be cut by the team, haha!"

"Really? Not too good, right? When he comes back, let him play as a substitute first!"

Iverson also came to his senses, and Lu Yi praised him jokingly.

In the two quarters of the first half, Iverson only played less than 7 minutes, not much playing time.

但已经打出来了7投5中，三分1投0中，罚球2投2中，12分6助攻2篮板的数据。

如果每一场30分钟计算，虽然数据不会一下子膨胀到场均30分15助攻5篮板，但也机会能让艾弗森将回到在75人巅峰时期。

Iverson is very clear that all this is not that he has become younger.It's because he found a teammate who is suitable for him and can protect him from wind and rain.

"It turns out that you don't need to be the leader of the team to get excellent statistics and win easily!" After Iverson thought about it, he still felt very incredible.

Before playing, Iverson thought that the Clippers had a good record because the Clippers' players were not bad.

After the first half was about to finish, Iverson realized that Lu Yi was not the one who added icing on the cake for the Clippers, but the master who directly helped the Clippers recycle waste and rebuild it!

Who would have thought that a ship of broken copper and rotten iron could be recast into a super battleship under Lu Yi's transformation of decay into magic!
