Chapter 203

In the opening game, after the Phoenix Suns defeated the Atlanta Hawks at home, they immediately started their trip to the Eastern Conference.

Iverson led the Philadelphia 76ers for the Phoenix Suns.

The Philadelphia 76ers were not easy to play. In the opening game, the 76ers beat the Bucks with a 3-pointer and got off to a good start.

In particular, Iverson is in a hot state. He scored 31 points in the last game, and he scored against Reed and directly cut down his opponent.

Before the game, media reporters were also optimistic about the 76ers' victory. The winning percentage was [-]-[-]. Of course, the Suns' hot offensive line is still impressive. Therefore, the Suns are not without opportunities to turn away.

At 2004:11 pm on November 5, 8, the Phoenix Suns played against the Philadelphia 76ers at the Wakovia Center Arena, and the official start began.

After warming up with a simple layup shot, the starting lineups of both sides lined up and came to the middle circle of the basketball court, ready to start a scrimmage.

The Suns starting five are relatively fixed, lined up, followed by point guard Steve Nash, shooting guard Joe Johnson, small forward Quentin Richardson, power forward Sean Marion, center Amar Ray Stoudemire.

The 76ers are more afraid of the speed of the Suns, and the starting lineup is point guard Allen Iverson, shooting guard Aaron McGee, small forward Andre Iguodala, power forward Kenny - Thomas, center Mark Jackson.

A beep whistle sounded.

The referee threw the basketball into the sky, and Stoudemire and Mark Jackson jumped almost at the same time.

As soon as Stoudemire started the game, he was eye-catching. His physical fitness is unparalleled, not to mention his outstanding jumping. He is 208cm taller than Mark Jackson, who is 3cm.

Stoudemire hopped the basketball into Nash's hands.

With long feet, Nash dribbled the ball forward quickly. Just after halftime, there was a snap and a hit was made. After the basketball hit the floor, it fell precisely into the hands of Joe Shuxun on the right. Go up, open your hand to make a three-point shot, and after cheating McGee's jump defense, pull the ball down, accelerate suddenly, dribble the ball into the inside line, take a step in the horn area, pull up the basketball and shake it again, and then fly Ken Nithomas' supplementary defense, with his back on his shoulders against Thomas who was jumping back, with a hook with his right hand, the basketball spun and flew to the basket, wiped the backboard, and got into the net as if it had eyes.

2 to 0! !
Relying on Nash's wonderful pass and Joe Johnson's powerful singles ability, the Suns scored first and gave the 76ers a blow.

Iverson quickly dribbled the ball to the frontcourt. Facing Nash's main defense, he was not polite. He turned a corner, passed pedestrians, and went inside.

Stoudemire's speed is not inferior to the guard's footsteps. He quickly flew over to defend. Iverson was not afraid, accelerated the basket and jumped up, stretching and stretching in the air, dodging Stoudemire's block. With one hook, the basketball returned to the net like an old horse knowing the way, and scored a two-pointer.

The leader of the 76ers, Iverson, retaliated with a reciprocating ball, and retaliated more brilliantly.

Outside the arena, the fans and spectators were the best, and they all fell down one after another. The applause like rain hitting plantains, and the thunderous cheers and cheers were also heard, and came with a bang.

2 to 2! !
The offense of the Suns was very fast. After the baseline ball was quickly served, Nash rushed forward. Fortunately, the 76ers had already responded, and Iverson rushed past the press at an extremely fast speed.

Nash's dribbling was superb, and Iverson's steal was not succeeded, and the Suns' running and bombing were also interrupted.

Nash organized the ball in the middle, and when Stoudemire played a pick-and-roll in the middle.

The 76ers' center Mark Jackson is only 208cm tall, but his speed and strength are not bad, and he double-teamed Nash with Iverson.

Nash made a back pass to the perimeter of the three-pointer. Joe Johnson caught the ball without greed and sent it directly to the inside.

Marion made an empty cut to the basket from the left, and Stoudemire ran from the middle to cut to the basket, forming a double ghost shot.

Marion jumped up, caught the ball in the air, and made a back dunk directly, sending the basketball into the basket.

4 to 2! !
Everyone in the Suns has offensive ability, and it is easy to defend against.

Iverson turned his head, immediately broke through to attract the defense, passed the ball to McGee who was cutting the basket, and attacked the basket from close range, which was also successful.

Next, the situation on the field changed suddenly, and the offense of the 76ers suddenly misfired. First, Iverson missed consecutive breakthrough shots, and then the offenses of McGee, Thomas, and Mark Jackson also hit the iron one after another. It's quite high, and he hit all two shots.

However, Iguodala is just a rookie who has played one NBA game. He doesn't have many shots, and almost all of them are missed offensive shots.

The offensive firepower of the Suns is very fierce, especially the Suns have an absolute advantage inside.

After Nash and Stoudemire made a pick-and-roll, it was a chance to attack the frame and dunk at close range. Although Stoudemire's mid-range shots have not yet been practiced to the point of perfection, he missed many opportunities. However, the Suns also have a great advantage in rebounding.

The 76 team defended against the speed of the Suns. The height of the center is only 208cm, and the height of the power forward is even worse, only 201cm. Both Stoudemire and Marion are tall. The body of the insider can be called abnormal.

Stoudemire's nickname is "Little Overlord". Just by hearing the name, you can tell the horror of his physical talent. Marion's nickname is "Hacker", which has the taste of a robot in the movie, but his physical talent is also top-notch.

With rebounds as a guarantee, the Suns' running and bombing battle became more violent. Richardson frequently shot three-pointers from the outside. Even if he didn't feel the best tonight, he still shot very firmly. The two-point shot is very good, but tonight he let go of the three-pointer and hit two consecutive three-pointers. The outside firepower is also excellent.

After the first quarter, under the lead of Nash's target, the Suns played a multi-point improvement situation, especially when the inside line took the initiative, the Suns' diamond tactics played smoothly and smoothly. With 31 to 18, it was mainly against the guest, leading the 76ers by 13 points.

In the second quarter, the Suns had a lot of leads, and the substitutes were rotated one after another. The range was not large, and three or four starters were almost kept on the court. After all, the Suns are a young team, and physical strength is not the first consideration. They need results, they need to prove themselves, whether it is the players or the coaching staff.

The 76ers trailed by more than 10 points, and they didn't dare to play too much. Instead, they replaced Korver with better and better shooting skills, and Willie Green, the new season of this year's second round.

The second quarter kicked off, neither side was conservative, and both were fighting to win the game on offense. The high center forward didn't play, and both were speeding up and running.

As soon as Korver came on the court, against Richardson's defense, he accurately hit a catch-and-shoot three-pointer.

Subsequently, the 76ers' outside firepower was fully fired, especially the two rookies selected this year, Iguodala and Willie Green, one offense and one defense, allowing the 76ers to see the hope of rising.

Iguodala's physical fitness is very strong, that is, his shooting is unstable, but he can run, jump and fight, and shows good potential talent on the defensive end.

Although Willie Green's defense is not reliable, he is sharp and sharp in offense. In his first show, he gave the impression of daring to fight. More surprises for a super scorer, the violent offensive firepower almost hit the opponent's Barbosa completely unable to lift his head, and he had no power to parry at all...
