The glory of the basketball gods

Chapter 23 The real test
Yuan Man shook his numb right hand vigorously, and looked at Iguodala who was standing beside him. He hadn't noticed that the other party had come to him in an instant just now, and he was very decisive and precise. Goal destroyed.Yuan Man couldn't help but carefully looked at his opponent in this match, but the opponent showed a friendly smile to Yuan Man.

Andre Iguodala, the player who entered the NBA with the ninth overall pick in the first round in 2004, completed a real personal transformation last season.

In the first round of the first round of the 2009-10 playoffs, with 2.2 seconds left in the game, Iguodala hit a quasi-lore, showing his big heart and helping the 76ers win Defeated the Orlando Magic 100-98 and regained the home court advantage. Although the 76ers lost in the end, Iguodala's performance in that round was very exciting. The quasi-lore built Iguodala's confidence.

I remember when the reporter interviewed Iguodala after that game and asked: "Andre, if you still encounter such an opportunity, will you still make the last attack?"

"Why not? I began to believe that I was the best choice." Facing the reporter's camera, Iguodala replied confidently and firmly.

In the summer of 2010, Iguodala was selected for the U.S. Men’s Basketball Team and helped the U.S. team win the Men’s Basketball World Championships. Iguodala, who trained for the game, won honor for the country and promoted himself to the national team As a member of the team, Iguodala has more confidence and experience.

Many people know that Iguodala's physical fitness is very good, but what they don't know is that Iguodala's physical fitness is far beyond what these people originally thought.

Iguodala was born in 1984. In addition to practicing basketball in the early days, he also practiced baseball, swimming, high jump, long jump and even karate together.His high jump score in high school was 2.10 meters, and he could become a high jump track and field student. In addition, Iguodala's long jump score also ranked second in the entire Illinois state!
It can be said that Iguodala is simply a martial arts wizard, ah no, a sports wizard!Excellent physical talent!
After honing in the NBA for several years, after last season's playoffs and the summer World Championships, the 26-year-old Iguodala is now at his best.

"This game is a test for Yuan Man. According to Yuan Man's current performance, he is very similar to Andre Iguodala who just entered the league back then. He has amazing physical fitness and great potential." Byron Si Kurt saw Yuan Man who had his shot destroyed just now, and thought, "It is not only a test for Yuan Man to be able to play against Andre in this game, but also an opportunity to accurately position him. Let me take a look, What's the difference between you and Andre?"

Anthony Parker served the ball, Mo Williams stepped forward to catch the ball, and used Varejao’s pick-and-roll to pass the ball to Yuan Man, who was also open without the ball. !

But Yuan Man hesitated. In Yuan Man's mind, dunks were more certain than mid-range shots, especially after the first shot was destroyed. Yuan Man hoped that this attack could hit 100%.

Seeing Iguodala rushing over, Yuan Man made a fake shot, and then rushed towards the basket. However, what Yuan Man didn't expect was that Iguodala didn't take his fake move at all. Instead, he followed himself closely in a very oppressive way.

Yuan Man, who didn't get rid of Iguodala, barely made a three-step layup, but this kind of shot is not Yuan Man's strong point. The ball bounced off the backboard and fell out of the front of the basket, making a layup. The excellent defensive Iguodala took advantage of the opportunity to block Yuan Man behind him, and then jumped high to grab the backcourt rebound in his arms.

Being able to see through Yuan Man's fake moves, the speed of defense can completely keep up, and after a successful defense, he immediately switches to protect the backcourt rebounds. This kind of performance can only be achieved by an almost perfect combination of physical fitness and experience. !
"I think Yuan played something in this game." Larry Drew, who was sitting next to Scott, couldn't help but muttered.

Scott rubbed his nose, but didn't respond.

In the first few games, Yuan Man did not encounter this level of defense, even Stephen Jackson did not feel such defensive pressure in the first game against the Bobcats.

"Don't worry, go back to defense." Jamison patted Yuan Man's back and immediately ran to his backcourt.

Iguodala handed the ball to Jrue Holiday and ran to the Cavaliers' backcourt to prepare to attack. Yuan Man immediately followed.

Iguodala's current status in the 76ers has improved a lot compared to last season. The 76ers' first attack, the ball was handed over to Iguodala.

"I will absolutely defend this shot!" Yuan Man stared firmly into Iguodala's eyes, making up his mind to prevent the opponent's attack no matter what.

Seeing Iguodala's eyes glanced to the left, Yuan Man immediately focused and focused on the opponent's left side, but he did not expect that Iguodala would break through and start from his right side, which was almost a step away. Just throw away half of Yuan Man's body!
Yuan Man couldn't help being startled by this amazing athletic ability. Facing Jamison who was defending, Iguodala smiled slightly and passed the ball to Brand at the basket.

With a loud "boom", Varejao didn't even dare to step forward to block it. Brand received a pass and dunked with both hands under the basket. After Rand dunked, it felt like the entire rim was going to be ripped off by Brand.

Seeing Iguodala who was high-fiving Brand and returning to the defense, Yuan Man's mood was a bit complicated. This was the first time in the game that he was completely passed by his opponent.

The Cavaliers' Jamison turned his back to Brand after receiving the ball in the paint.

"Come on, Antoine, I'll be waiting for you." Brand approached Jamison and whispered.

After hesitating for two seconds, Jamison did not choose to attack inside, but passed the ball out. Parker caught the ball and made a jumper, but missed, and Brand grabbed the rebound.

Jamison is not the type of inside melee player, not to mention that he is facing Brand.

The 76ers Brand stormed the basket, Jamison retreated again and again, Varejao hurried over to double-team, Brand passed the ball to Iguodala on the outside.

Iguodala's catch and breakthrough did not get rid of Yuan Man's defense and failed to get a good shot, but Iguodala still threw the ball to the basket.

"Rebound!" Yuan Man shouted back immediately.

Just when Yuan Man turned his head, a 76ers player jumped high, received a pass from Iguodala with one hand, grabbed it in the air and pressed it into the basket!
This person is none other than this year's No. [-] pick-Evan Turner!
