shooting guard era

Chapter 135 164. Poor Man's Little Emperor
However, the 76ers had nothing to do with the Bobcats. When Ye Han started to break through, the Bobcats' running tactics were not just moving to the top arc from the right side of the basket to pick and roll Kapono and Jamal Thompson. After pulling Webber to the outside line, Blake, who was at a 45-degree angle on the other side, ran to the left bottom corner, and Gerald Wallace ran to the pick-and-roll.

For a while, the 76ers' defense completely collapsed. Bickerstaff has been giving the Bobcats a high-pressure policy and cultivated discipline. Except for Ye Han and Okafor, this team has been more or less suppressed by him. Now He was very obedient to the arrangement and executed the tactics very well. The new tactics that he has practiced for a few days are much better than the messy running positions that have been practiced for a long time at the beginning of the season.

Iguodala saw that both sides were picking and rolling, and the two insiders on their side were pulled out one by one. At the same time, the No. 24 on the opposite side accelerated to break through to the left. He quickly recovered and moved to the right, but it was a little slower. To give himself time to return to his position, the No. 24 scored an undefended dunk by passing through his crotch and entering the inside lane.

The 76ers rely on Webber to support the ball and conduct the offense after the ball. He and Palacio, who also has the ability to support the two towers, activate the 76ers' offense. The Bobcats rely on off-ball double pick-and-roll tactics. Space, the 76ers go straight to the basket and hit the basket when they defend from the inside, and break through and score the ball if they don't defend from the inside. The purpose is very clear.

The lineups of both sides were not good on defense, and they started a confrontational battle. At the end of the three quarters, the two sides tied at 86. Finally, after the 76ers were dunked a few times by Ye Han, Webb couldn't help but defend the inside, and was beaten by Kapono and Blake. Each hit a three-pointer, and the point difference was tied.

After the start of the last quarter, Iverson, Ye Han, Webber, and Okafor did not play. The intention of the head coaches of both sides was to let the best inside and outside players of both sides rest for a while before the final decisive battle.

Without these four people on the field, the offense of the two sides can be described in one word-chicken pecking at each other.

After the start of the game, because there was no one who could attract double-teamers, the offense of both sides was like constipation, and finally turned into a blind fight. Blake became a superstar at this moment. When the second attack time is approaching, the fadeaway jumper shot is actually a hollow hit!
In fact, Papp Shaw's defense is useless. Instead, he may foul at any time. If Blake breaks through harder, he will definitely cause a foul, but he can make a three-pointer...he is amazing!
Facts soon proved that Blake’s shot just now was indeed fooled. He dared to shoot at critical moments, and he also dared to shoot at ordinary times, but it’s a matter of whether he made it or not. Then it was passed to Ye Han's substitute, Sly, and he still hit the iron...

The 76ers' offense is similar here, and Iguodala, who wears the No. 9 jersey, organizes the offense.

Just a few days ago, Iguodala was still wearing the No. 4 jersey, but after Webber came, he changed it to No. 9 very wisely.He explained to the media: "I am the No. 4 show this year. Compared with No. 9, I actually prefer No. [-]."

Iguodala has a very good physical talent, has good athletic ability and good skills, and is very comprehensive in all skills. He will take the starting position at the beginning of this year.Since becoming a starter, the data has increased a lot. During the first two months as a substitute, he averaged 7 points, 3 rebounds and 2 assists per game. After starting, he averaged 11.3 points, 5.5 rebounds and 4.1 assists per game. He is very versatile.

However, Iguodala's personal offensive ability is very average, and almost all rely on Iverson's containment to get scoring opportunities. Most of his assists are obtained by Iverson, and he himself does not have the ability to attract double teams. .

Moreover, Iguodala has no confidence in his offense, and his desire to attack is very low. No, he did not dare to shoot outside the reasonable collision zone after Sly's entanglement, and stopped the ball.He was forced to pass outside, and Walter McCarty didn't dare to shoot after receiving the ball, threw it to Papp Shaw, and then passed it like this, and the last 24 seconds were approaching, and the last Papp who caught the ball- Xiao can only force his shot, three non-stick...

Later, Bickerstaff simply replaced Blake with Jason Hart, but Hart was still able to make a breakthrough.

More than five minutes before this quarter, the second team of the two sides performed a peak performance of pecking each other.

Because the score has been "anxious", the head coaches of both sides tacitly did not replace the main players so quickly and let them rest for a while. This kind of opportunity is rare!When they usually play against other teams, neither Ye Han nor Iverson, the core players of both sides, have a chance to rest. Whenever they rest, it is the time for the opponent to overwhelm the team's second team, so neither of them have a chance to rest.

The strength of the second team of the two sides is so close today, which is really beyond the expectations of the head coaches of the two teams. It happened that the two sides tacitly let the main players take a good rest and fight at the last moment.

Finally, at 6 minutes and 37 seconds into the fourth quarter, Hart made a defensive foul and entered an official timeout, and the two sides began to change their starters.

Ye Han, who had been ready for a long time, was summoned by Bickerstaff, jumped up from the bench, and took a half-time rest. This situation is rare after Blevin Knight has no intention of playing.The departure of Brian Knight has dropped a lot for the Bobcats. In addition, the opponents of the Bobcats are much stronger than at the beginning of the season. Ye Han rarely gets the opportunity to rest for such a long time. If this continues, he feels that he will Become the fourth player to average more than 40 minutes per game this season.

On the other side, Iverson is also enjoying this rare rest. He is now in the ninth year of his career. Starting from his rookie season, except for the average playing time of "only" 39.4 minutes per game in the second season, his playing time in each season Both are more than 40 minutes, rest is very rare for him.

97 to 96, the score has been overtaken by the Bobcats.

However, the two sides scored 21 points in half the game, which is a bit embarrassing. The fans on the scene are already drowsy.

Finally, the fans can cheer again as they see both starters back on the field.

Iguodala was also excited. When he heard the coach say that Iverson played, he felt a big sigh of relief.

Speaking of it, Iguodala is a bit different from ordinary rookies. Any other rookie is eager to get the opportunity to lead the team. If he is a rookie on a team with top players, he hopes that the boss can spend less time and give himself a chance to play.There are few young people like Iguodala, who have such low offensive desire-desire, who don’t like to take responsibility, and his talent is still so good. Iguodala, who was 19 years old at the time of the draft, was called a guard version by scouts James, now it seems that the two are not alike at all. James' offensive ability is far beyond that of Iguodala.
