NBA Absolute Flood Dam

Chapter 198 Thank you

At this time, the basketball was slapped to the front court of the Suns, and Marbury chased after him. The 76ers had only Snow to return to the defense in time, but he was two steps behind and fell farther and farther. It is impossible to return to defense in time.

"Shh!"

Marbury made a layup.

2:7, the Suns lead by 5 points.

Next, Iverson took over the offensive power of the 76ers due to his teammates' unfavorable offense.

His career three-point shooting rate is 31%, which is not high, so he only takes 3.7 three-point shots per game. The main scoring method is mid-range shots or layups after breakthroughs.

Among the three distances of the mid-range shot, the shooting percentage is the highest at 39.7%, 38.3% at mid-range, and the lowest at 37.7%.

Why is the closer to the basket, the lower the hit rate?Of course, the closer to the paint area, the tighter the defense.

But his shooting percentage at the basket after the breakthrough is as high as 56.5%. This does not include the points after the breakthrough, and does not include being fouled.

Taking over the offense means holding the ball, the ball is no longer controlled by Snow, and Iverson personally distributes the ball.

In the next few rounds, he turned Joe Johnson into a scumbag. In order to prevent him from entering the paint area, Marion sent a second foul within 6 minutes in the case of supplementary defense and assist defense. Accompanied by two fouls, full of lethality.

In the 10th minute of the first quarter, Iverson took the initiative to ask to end, and his walking posture was a bit wrong.

In a single quarter, he made 10 of 4 shots and 7 of 5 free throws. He scored 13 points and sent out two assists.

Under his leadership, in the first 10 minutes, 20:25, the 76ers were only 5 points behind away.

His 10-minute breakthrough was not close to the basket. It was a mid-range shot with a normal shooting percentage. Although it was far lower than his basket shooting percentage, it also prevented him from encountering Li Ba's defense.

Because most of them are close to the basket and nearly two points, there are also many rebounds under the basket. Li Ba got 10 backcourt rebounds in 6 minutes, 4 of which were fast breaks, and 2 were transferred to positional battles. .

加上2个进攻篮板，他前10分钟高效地抓下了8个篮板球，还送出了3次助攻，3次封盖和1次抢断。

When Iverson left the field, the Suns also replaced with two substitutes. Li Ba and Marion both came down.

Soon the first quarter ended, 26:28, the 76ers were only 2 points behind.

In the second quarter, the bench lineup came on, and Joe Johnson stayed on the court.

In the 5th minute, Barbosa sprained his foot in a fast break. He had made 2 of 1 shots before going off.

But Joe Johnson played well in this section, making 7 of 3 shots and scoring 7 points.Substituted in the 9th minute of the second quarter.

However, other substitutes played mediocre, while the 76ers played very well. At 29:20, the Suns lost 9 points in this quarter.

At the end of the first half, 55:48, the Suns lost at home by 7 points.

"How many games do you rest?" Li Ba returned to the locker room and asked Barbosa who was soaking in an ice bucket.

"Just one game, boss, it's not serious." Barbosa said quickly.

He felt that he was really lucky to come to the Suns. He met the boss of the Hammers, and this is a boss who doesn’t need the ball. He is confident that he can play this year, and he can replace Joe Johnson’s third scoring point next year. The sixth man cannot escape.

In this way, once the rookie contract is over, he will definitely be able to sign a big contract, so now he is obedient to the Hammer boss.

At the scene, in the CCTV live broadcast seat, Zhang Lili said: "Today, Iverson's breakthrough never reached the basket, and he used shots to solve the battle. This is obviously to avoid the hammer, which shows that the hammer has established a top-level defense on the defensive end. Even a super giant like Iverson is deliberately avoiding his strongest defensive area under the basket."

"Mr. Zhang is reasonable, so do you think Iverson will continue to be like this in the next game?" Yu Jia asked.

"I heard that he played with an injury. He should play like this today. If he rushes to the hammer and takes a few shots, it is not impossible to end with an injury." Zhang Lili said.

"I think so. His foot movements today did not change direction. He used absolute speed to break through. He should be injured. Just now he asked to leave the field. Could it be an injury?" Yu Jia said.

"It's possible. But it's normal for him to play with an injury. I think he will definitely play in the second half." Zhang Reasonable said.

Back at halftime, the two teams changed their starters, and the 76ers kicked off from the baseline.

Iverson didn't take over the ball, he didn't even break through, and stayed in the mid-range area on the right wing, attracting the Suns' defensive strength and allowing his teammates to attack.

Li Ba, who is in the low position on the right wing, took a look at Iverson and found that he didn't move too much.

"The injury broke out? What are you doing? It doesn't end like this. Do you really think you are an iron man?" He complained in his heart.

Iverson reduced the number of breakthroughs, and the 76ers began to focus on the offensive point of the big dog at the third position and Coleman at the fifth position.

At this time, Iverson on the right wing suddenly reached out for the ball. After he got the ball, he faced Joe Johnson and made a three-threat posture.

Li Ba immediately faced Iverson, ready to defend at any time.

At the same time, his right hand was resting on Coleman's waist behind him, and he could detect the other party's actions through feeling.

Of course, his feet are constantly moving, so as not to lose Coleman.

At this time, Iverson made a shooting action very suddenly, shaking the defensive black hole Joe Johnson, and then calmly threw the ball in his hand after it fell.

This ball has a high arc, which can ensure that it will not be intercepted by anyone on the way up.

When Li Ba saw the goal, he knew that the goal would not be scored, and it was far away. With Iverson's strength, and facing the defensive black hole Joe Johnson, it is impossible to deviate so much, so the only possibility is this. One pass, straight to the basket.

And at this moment, he lost Coleman's right hand.

There is no other possibility. Iverson gave Coleman the ball.

He turned around immediately, and when the basketball triggered the locking skill and climbed to the top of the parabola, he launched the fastest frontal first step, and rushed into the paint like a bloodthirsty beast.

With one step on the ground, he saw the basketball fall into Coleman's hands. He immediately jumped up without hesitation, and stretched out his left arm behind Coleman's back, as if the fangs of a ferocious beast were opened. Same.

At the same time, Coleman also jumped up, holding the ball with both arms, and smashed it to the basket.

"Snapped!"

When Coleman raised his hands and was about to smash down, Li Ba's left palm stopped everything from behind.

While the basketball jumped high, the two fell.

Coleman lost his balance, and Li Ba gave him a hand after landing, then jumped up, grabbed the basketball with one hand, and threw it to Marbury.

"Thank you, Hammer."

Coleman was relieved that he didn't fall down. He had an ankle injury. If he fell down just now, who knows if he would be hurt, so he quickly thanked Li Ba.

Li Ba shook his head, the number one pick back then, unfortunately, his injuries were as severe as a tiger.

He thought of Dayao. With such a height and weight, his knees and feet can bear a lot. How long can he last?

He thought about giving Dayao some lubricating oil, but he might not have much of that in the future, and he even wanted to keep some for his parents, so he hasn't made a decision yet.
