Chapter 37

Back at halftime, the game continued.

With the 76ers in possession of the ball, Snow dribbled to the frontcourt and gave the ball to Iverson on the right.

Knowing that his defense was not good, Lin Bai chose to follow Snow and leave Iverson to James.

Even if Iverson is allowed to attack tactically and block the other four players of the 76ers, but in terms of execution, Iverson is also more important, because Iverson really has the terrifying strength of one person to overthrow the entire team.

So, how to put Iverson?How to block the other four players?It is more particular, and one of the degrees must be grasped.

First of all, the Cavaliers' approach is to shrink the inside line, and James presses Iverson. Of course, this press will also put two steps away to give him space to break through and shoot.

Subsequently, the other four players of the 76ers will be treated differently. Generally speaking, it is to shrink the inside line and let them shoot three-pointers. The space for the ball, even if you pay a foul, don't give them an easy shot.

In terms of general policy guidance, other defenses are treated specifically.

For example, a player like Robinson who has inside and outside and can shoot three-pointers naturally has to keep close guards.

For example, Samuel Dalembert, who defends the blue-collar inside and is forced to defend against the air, decisively chooses to defend against the air and supplement other players.

Under the premise of this defensive strategy, shoot from the three-point line. If the 76ers shoot outside the three-point line, the Cavaliers players can only recognize it.

After all, on the basketball court, it is impossible for any defensive tactics to be perfect and flawless.

What's important is to be in the plan, take in and let go, and grasp the key points.

The current time is 2003, and the concept of the three-pointer as the main offensive weapon has not yet surfaced, it is only used as an auxiliary weapon.

Score two points to win the world, and Jordan used his two-point mid-range shot to prove that this concept is the real king.

Therefore, shooting two-pointers is now the main offensive weapon in basketball.

What's more, the previous head coach of the Philadelphia 76ers was the traditional Larry Brown. During his coaching, the 76ers players have deeply rooted the concept of two-pointers as their main offensive weapon. in the blood.

What Larry Brown calls 'the right way to play', and if it's violated, players simply don't have a chance to play.

For example, Milicic, the No. 03 pick of the [-] Platinum Generation, is a real example.

Under the guidance of a clear defensive tactic, Kapono perfectly executed this tactic, staring at Robinson tightly, using his body to entangle him, not giving him room to shoot, not even giving him a chance to catch the ball. Inseparable, tightly entangled with the opponent.

In the inside, Boozer on the right keeps an eye on Coleman, and Samuel Dalembert on the inside is directly suppressed by Ilgauskas.

At 75 degrees on the right side, Iverson holds the ball frame, one moves the basketball from the left to the right, pretends to break through to the right, and shakes James' defensive center of gravity.

Suddenly, he dribbled the ball twice in a row, left and right, non-stop, and quickly changed the offensive rhythm. In an instant, James' reaction nerves couldn't turn around, and his footsteps were directly nailed to the spot.

Freeze your steps!

Wear flowers and butterfly steps!
Iverson got rid of James' defense in an instant, took advantage of the situation and entered the inside lane, as easily as walking on a plain.

Seeing Iverson displaying his special skills, such a light and nimble success, Lin Bai couldn't help but shine on the court.

The outside line was directly penetrated by Iverson's breakthrough. While blocking Iverson's passing route, Boozer and Ilgauskas surrounded Iverson from left to right and back, and Iverson had Space for mid-range shots.

One step past the free throw line, Iverson made an emergency stop for a jumper and made a two-point shot.

Beautiful passing, wonderful pull-up jumper, unparalleled shot timing.

As far as the process is concerned, Iverson's extraordinary emergency stop jumper can almost score 100 points.

The basketball pulled away from Iverson's fingertips and drew a high arc.

There was a crisp bang!
The basketball hit the rim and the ball bounced out.

Ilgauskas, Boozer, and James rushed to the basket with a three-pointer and took off the rebound.

Seeing the changes in the Cavaliers' defensive tactics, Iverson's eyes became a little cold, and he said in his heart: This is letting me attack, I really don't know what to do!

See how I beat your defense!
When he turned around and returned to defense, Iverson had this thought in his mind. After experiencing hundreds of games, he could clearly perceive the changes in the opponent's tactical play, especially, this was still aimed at him. Defensive strategy!
In Lin Bai's previous life, Iverson won the NBA regular season scoring title four times, and his strength is not insignificant.

In the 1998-1999 season, he averaged 26.8 points per game, shot 41.2%, and took 22 shots

2000-2001年度均场31.1分，命中率42.0%，出手数25.5次

2001-2002赛季均场31.4分，命中率39.8%，出手数27.8次

2004-2005赛季均场30.7分，命中率42.4%，出手数24.2次。

That's right, Iverson's scoring ability is extremely powerful, but there are many games in exchange for high shots and low shooting percentage. Although Iverson was able to lead the 76ers to the NBA Finals stage, the limelight is the same for a while .

However, it is undeniable that he is a double-edged sword.

His offense hurts others as well as himself.

An average of 25 shots per game is almost equivalent to a team's shot ratio of one-third of each game.

If Iverson is in good shape, it's okay to hit the basketball.if shot

The shooting has been hitting the iron, and the pressure will come.

Can the other four players present really be pleasing to the eye?
Are they really willing to make a wedding dress for Iverson?Then, they followed each game and ran back and forth, and the occasional shots they got were still when the hand felt cold and the shots were not good!

You must know that in the realistic league of the NBA, data is the life of every player, and good data equals a big contract.

No player can sacrifice himself for others, unless he signs a big contract, in the contract year, he can play leisurely.

far away...

Back in the game, in transition, the Cavaliers attack.

James holds the ball to the frontcourt to organize the offense, and other players move according to the tactics.

Ilgauskas and Boozer are separated on the left and right sides of the horn, and Kapono stands at the left three-point corner with his hands outstretched, ready to catch the ball and shoot at any time.

On the right side, Lin Bai made an air cut from the baseline, trying to enter the basket to attack, while Snow shrank the inside defense, he cut off the passing route of Lin Bai and James. Suddenly, Lin Bai ran back and came out.

Boozer understood, and took the initiative to pull to the side to build a wall to block Snow's pursuit.

After getting rid of Snow's defense, Lin Bai received a pass from James outside the 45-degree three-point line on the right, held the ball in front of the frame, slightly bent his knees, and jumped up lightly. His long body bloomed in the air.

12…15…13…17…16……

A series of shooting touch numbers appeared in front of his eyes. Seeing such weird values, Lin Bai’s hand that was about to shoot the ball trembled a little. Fortunately, he held the basketball firmly with both hands, and directly passed the ball to the inside with both hands vigorously over the top.

Boozer came off the pick-and-roll, rushed down, jumped up, caught Lin Bai's ball in the air, and dunked vigorously with both hands.

bang bang,
The basketball slammed into the hoop!

Alley-oop, dunking the basketball with both hands, 52 to 45! !
After Boozer dunked, he grabbed the rim with both hands and performed a pull-up celebration, which drew applause from the fans outside the court. The blood in his heart exploded with a bang.

Barkley narrowed his eyes when he saw the two-goal offensive and defensive round, and said with a smile: "The Cavaliers' tactics have changed. However, everyone knows that the 76ers are Iverson's team. It is not easy to freeze his offense, next, I will watch Iverson's performance alone!!"

Kenny Smith nodded, and continued the topic: "Let Aveline attack and block the other four players. This tactic is not new. In order to break this boring but very effective tactic, the 76ers changed Here comes Robinson, let’s see how the execution ability of the two balls is now!!”

Barkley nodded, changed the topic, and said solemnly: "Speaking of which, Lin Bai in the Cavaliers is a bit weird. He has a good three-pointer. I didn't expect him to jump up." The pass, or the overhand pass, was a surprise. At first glance, it would have been a faulty error, and it turned into a brilliant assist!"

Kenny Smith did not pick up this topic, but explained the offense on the court, "Snow dribbled the ball to the frontcourt and passed the ball to Iverson on the right. How would he choose? Will he return one? He made a breakthrough ..."

Coleman served from the bottom line to Snow, who dribbled the ball across the half court, and gave the ball to Iverson on the right.

Outside the three-point line on the right, Iverson easily passed James, like crossing the road in the early morning, reached the inside, and rushed to the basket.

At this time, Ilgauskas, Boozer and James once again blocked Iverson's passing route with a three-pointer, giving him space to shoot.

However, this time, Iverson held the ball and faced the difficulties. He did not choose to shoot, but chose to hit the basket more lethally.

Pulling the ball in two steps, he jumped up, facing the block interference of Ilgauskas and Boozer, directly threw his body into the inside line, and in the air, abruptly used his strong body to knock Boozer away At the same time, he dodged in the air, avoided Ilgauskas' block, put the basketball into the basket at close range, and then fell off the court with his whole body.

The fans and audience outside the court, seeing Iverson's brave, indomitable, and heroic playing style, couldn't help being attracted, and there were thunderous applause and rain-like cheers.

At this moment, Iverson used his fearless style of play to conquer the fans in the Quicken Loans Center arena.

At the free throw line, Iverson made a free throw with a bang. Although, because of the attack just now, the impact was a bit too big, which made the free throw unstable and failed to hit a three-pointer. However, during the free throw, Quicken Loans center shot In the hall, the voice of MVP rang out sporadically! !

54 is better than 45!

Offensive and defensive transition, James dribbled the ball forward, Iverson came up to press, James broke through with the ball in the middle, and Boozer made a pick-and-roll cooperation, got rid of Iverson's defense, and broke into the inside.

Snow let go of Lin Bai's defense and double-teamed James.

Snow has always been Iverson's guard with a knife. Seeing that Iverson is getting rid of him, he will take the initiative to defend.

This kind of thinking has formed an obsession in the past few years and has taken root in his soul.

In the double-teaming of Snow and Iverson, James jumped up directly and gave the ball to the corner of the three-pointer.

Lin Bai easily caught the ball and aimed at the three-point line at his feet, which was a big open space.

On the basketball court, sometimes it will be very small, and it will be difficult to get the shot space after the defense, but sometimes it will be very large, and it is obviously impossible to penetrate the entire defense, even with the defensive mobility of the 76ers Very flexible.

That's right, Snow's individual defense is very strong, his anticipatory defense, his defensive awareness, and his defensive skills are all very good. However, it is still impossible to completely seal the offensive shooting space.

Lin Bai slightly bent his knees, jumped up lightly, and shot a jumper before Snow desperately pounced on it.

80…82…85…81…86……

A series of hand-feeling numbers appeared in front of him. Seeing such numbers, Lin Bai was a little stunned. However, when he jumped out of 85, he still pulled the basketball out of his fingertips, and the basketball drew a beautiful arc in midair.

swish
The basketball pierced through the heart and into the net, the pure white netting sounded, and there was a clear sound of wiping the net, and the netting splashed.

Lin Bai hit a three-pointer steadily, 54 to 48!

Landing, Lin Bai stretched out the 'OK' gesture to interact with the audience outside the venue. Lin Bai was greeted by thunderous applause and blazing cheers.

Looking back, the 76ers attacked, and Iverson broke through the middle with the ball. He was still very good at passing. A cross dribble from the left hand to the right hand, with a slight change in rhythm, easily passed James and went inside again. .

A tactic also played non-stop. Ilgauskas, Boozer and James still surrounded Iverson and cut off his passing route.

Of course, this time, Ilgauskas and Boozer didn't dare to pursue the so-called block anymore, they just reached out to interfere. After all, Iverson's impact was too strong, and his style of play was very tough. He rushed forward to block the shot. It is very likely that a foul will be sent.

Iverson jumped up from the basket, dodged the block, and hit the basketball into the basket.

Two points scored, 56 to 48! !
After landing and turning back to the defense, Iverson once again made a celebration of listening. With such a provocation, the fans at home naturally expressed their dissatisfaction and directly booed everywhere.

Although Iverson's iron-blooded playing style is very popular among the fans, but if he provokes the home fans at every turn, he will naturally not give him any good looks.

Offensive and defensive transition, the Cavaliers attack.

James held the ball in the middle and played a pick-and-roll with Ilgauskas. After getting rid of Iverson's defense, he rushed into the inside line. With a feint, he directly deceived Coleman who was defending the inside line, drove straight in, and jumped up in one step. , with his head almost flat, he dunked with one hand, and smashed the basketball into the basket heavily.

James directly staged the gods descending to earth, smashing dunks with one hand, scoring the goal, 56 to 50! !
Landing on the ground, James aggressively punched his chest with his fists, showing off his unparalleled imperial arrogance.

The 76ers attacked, and Iverson played endlessly by himself. He dribbled the ball with his back, went to the inside, took a step to the free throw line, made a jump shot with a sudden stop, and with a bang, the basketball bounced out of the frame.

Ilgauskas easily took off the rebound and passed the ball to James. In a quick counterattack, the frontcourt formed a 3-on-2,

James broke through Iverson in the middle, and instead of dunking the basket, he smashed the basketball on the backboard. Boozer, who followed him, understood it, jumped high, grabbed the basketball with both hands, and smashed it into the basket heavily.

During the counterattack, he dunked the basketball and scored, 56 to 52!

Next, the tempo of the two sides was very fast, with you coming and going, and the scene of Sanying fighting Lu Bu faintly played out.

For the 76ers, Iverson singled out, facing the Cavaliers' James, Boozer and Lin Bai's three-point offensive line, the Cavaliers slowly approached the score.

When the third quarter lasted more than 7 minutes, the Cavaliers had the ball, James held the ball in the middle, and organized support.

Lin Bai ran back from the bottom line on the right and pulled to a high position. At this time, Boozer pulled to the side and made a pick-and-roll for Lin Bai to get rid of Snow's defense.

From outside the 45-degree three-point line on the right, Lin Bai caught the ball and made a direct jumper.

Coleman has been shrinking the inside defense. His movement speed is not as good as before due to a knee injury. He is about to retire, and he can still fight for his life on offense. On defense, he only looks at defense and has no plans to pounce. .

75…80…65…82…85……

A series of numbers appeared in the eyelids, and Lin Bai was very familiar with them. When the number 82 jumped out, he pulled out the basketball in his hand from his fingertips,
swish
With the knife in hand, the basketball fell into the basket with precision, and the three-pointer was hit, 65 to 66! !
The third quarter was not over yet, and the Cavaliers caught up head-on, playing a combination of inside and outside, and overtook the scores of the two teams.
