Healing Basketball

Chapter 368 368. The key ball that broke out!

Iguodala didn't expect Iverson to pass the ball at all. He had already reacted quickly after receiving the ball, and he ran out of time, so he could only make a hasty shot.

However, the ball hit hard on the inner edge of the other side of the basket facing Iguodala, and bounced back. To be able to watch this second-year big shot steal the ball.

The Blazers' defense made the 76ers players not know what to say but not very surprised, after all, their boss is Iverson.

Just now, the Trail Blazers can be said to be all 5 defenses and 1 against Iverson!
Offensive and defensive transition, Payton received the ball and advanced to the frontcourt, passed the ball to Liu Xiu and went to the high position on the right side of the free throw line with his back against Iverson.

Instead of facing Liu Xiu, Iverson went to guard Payton.

The Trail Blazers are very honest, and Iverson will play singles against anyone they agreed to defend, and they will never break their word.

However, Payton ignored the superstar whistle, forgetting that he himself is no longer the leading star in the league. Iverson roughed up Payton's defense on the extension line of the free throw line. According to the new rules, there is a foul Suspicion, but this requires the referee's subjective judgment, the referee did not blow!
Payton was old and weak, unable to play a threat to attract flanking attacks, was almost intercepted and even failed to break through. The rest of the 76ers did a good job in rotation defense. Rahim came out to respond and was caught by Iguod Pulling fierce defense around the front, in the end Liu Xiu took Dalem Potella out to catch the ball and played singles. There was not much time left. Liu Xiuqiang rushed to the basket and returned Iguodala and Mark Jackson Porter's three-man pinch missed a throw!

This time the rebound was taken by Iverson, and Liu Xiu rushed forward to grab it, but Iverson dribbled the ball under his crotch to avoid it.

The sneak attack failed, Liu Xiu retreated immediately.

The 76ers stepped up their defense!
This is completely trust in Iverson's strength!The whole team defends, Iverson attacks alone, the standard 76ers play style.

And Iverson came back from the halftime break and was no longer obsessed with defending the opponent's best perimeter. The 76ers' defense has improved to a certain extent.

Don't do what you can't do, which is actually a great help to the team.

When the 76ers attacked, the Blazers' defensive rotation began.

In the face of absolute strength, conspiracies and tricks are paper tigers.

If the coach's tactics can deal with superstars, then why do you need top defensive players?Larry Brown in the Knicks era can only watch his opponent score more than 100 points every night and have nothing to do.

To deal with a superstar with 22 points and 7 assists in half, the best way is also the easiest way-flank attack!
Iverson scored + his teammates scored together, Iverson scored + his teammates were restricted, restricted Iverson + his teammates scored, the Trail Blazers chose the third.

This is the most common situation that the 76ers have encountered this season. They can easily judge the defensive strategy of the Trail Blazers-outlaw lunatics interfere with shooting one-on-one, and the Trail Blazers players who are close to Iverson can cooperate When the defense is in place, we will assist in the defense as soon as possible.

They also have a lot of experience in playing games under such conditions. In this situation, Iverson is more active in breakthroughs, and works harder to attract defenses. The breakthrough style of play starts, and others work hard to find opportunities to catch the ball and shoot decisively. I am afraid, I will be scolded by Iverson if I receive a pass and have a chance not to shoot, and if I have a chance to pass the ball without decisiveness.

Defense is more important than offense!

The 76ers stretched out their defense and showed their excellent defense that restricted their opponents to the 8th lowest scoring average per game. They pressed the rhythm, rotated the defense, pinched... and defended against the Trail Blazers.

The two teams once again started the tug-of-war mode, but this time they were playing defense!

……

Iverson is definitely the strongest scoring opponent that Liu Xiu has encountered since entering the NBA. Kobe, who played against him many times last season, and McGrady, who has played against him twice, are not as good as Iverson in terms of offensive performance. The sense of oppression is so strong.

But facing such an opponent, Liu Xiu was extremely excited!
His eyes, which are usually half-closed, are now full of energy. He runs tirelessly on the court, looking for every scoring opportunity and doing a good job of defending every round.

The scores of the two teams in the third quarter were not high, and the Trail Blazers were lower. At 11 minutes and 16 seconds, the Trail Blazers only scored 17 points, while the 76ers scored 21 points!
艾弗森单节5分4助攻，三节还未打完已经27分11助攻，帮助76人队以77比76反超开拓者队1分！
When it came time for the Trail Blazers to attack, Raheem caught the ball from the bottom corner and made a three-point shot... There was a big gap, but due to the impact of the confrontation, it was crooked!

The Outlaws and Kwame Brown were stuck, they didn't have a chance to grab the opportunity, they were anxious and had no choice, they were a bit hit, they were about to fall behind and enter the final quarter...no!Their hunch was wrong!
Mark Jackson and Dalembert were stuck in position. When Iverson was about to receive the rebound, Liu Xiu rushed into the inside and took off. Taking advantage of Iverson's unpreparedness, he grabbed the ball first, took off, and made a tip-up!

78 to 77, the Trail Blazers lead by 1 point!
Immediately after that, Flying Squirrel made a meritorious deed by stealing Iverson's pass and counterattacking. Iverson and Iguodala, two players with outstanding physical fitness, chased back and blocked Flying Squirrel's attack frame and emergency stop jumper. But Little Flying Squirrel has a support point... to split the ball to the flanks!
Liu Xiu reacted quickly. She followed up immediately and walked on the flank. Without attracting the attention of Iverson and Iguodala, Mimi quietly came to the right outside the three-point line at a 30-degree angle, caught the ball and made a three-point shot... up!
Liu Xiu's ball showed his golf quotient very well, showing his counterattack awareness and offensive selection awareness!

With Iverson missing a three-pointer in singles at the buzzer, the third quarter ended.

81 to 77, the Trail Blazers regained a 4-point lead!
……

After three quarters, Liu Xiu scored 33 points, 7 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 steals!

第三节最后40多秒钟的那5分，让刘秀再一次单节得分上双，首节10分、第二节13分、第三节10分！
It was also with these 5 points that the Trail Blazers players, who were shocked by Iverson's 27 points and 11 assists in three quarters, became excited again.

Iverson is fierce and the best scorer in the world, but the Trail Blazers don't care, they have a warden!
With this momentum, and Liu Xiu's threat of scoring in double figures in each of the first three quarters, the Trail Blazers played a wave of 12 to 6 at the beginning of the final quarter!

The 76ers were indeed affected on the defensive end because of Liu Xiu's two personal shows that can be included in his career summary this season and his performance of scoring 5 points in a row at the end of the third quarter, and the Trail Blazers seized the opportunity.

93 to 83, the Trail Blazers took the opportunity to extend their lead to double digits!

The 76ers called a timeout to make adjustments. After the game restarted, the 76ers stabilized their defense, and Iverson once again led the team to launch a fierce attack!
从第四节3分44秒到10分39秒，不到7分钟时间里，艾弗森拿到了5分4助攻，带队打出了一波16比10的疯狂反扑，将比分追到了99比103，把之前被打的那波高潮还给了开拓者队！

Liu Xiu only scored 3 points during this period. The entire Trail Blazers team did not play well offensively, and the gap in personal ability was fully exposed.

In this kind of defensive battle, Liu Xiu scores more to seize opportunities, and Iverson holds the ball, which is the best offensive opportunity!

And... The 76ers players had another surprise. After chasing the point difference to only 4 points, Iverson also intercepted Payton's pass!
Gambling-style defense, there are times when the bet wins!
The 76ers players were excited to attack, and the teammates moved actively to create conditions for Iverson to pass the ball.

At least half of the games won by the 76ers this season are like this. Iverson's tenacity and resilience affect every player in the team and give his teammates endless courage.

At the critical moment, the 76ers moved very well. Korver's high-post Iverson responded with a pass and Iguodala cut to catch the ball. The ball takes off, he wants to dunk!

Compared to Iguodala's excitement, Liu Xiu was extremely calm at the moment, seized the opportunity to reach out, and slapped him precisely... "Pa"...

On the way Iguodala grabbed the ball and raised it upwards, Liu Xiu slapped the ball cleanly and kindly cut it off!

Iguodala, who made a jumping movement, lost his balance and staggered to his feet. Liu Xiu easily grabbed the ball and counterattacked!
Iverson's defensive enthusiasm is really good, and he kept up with the counterattack again. However, this time, Iverson just kept up with the pace and failed to return to the basket in advance. He could only stick to Liu Xiu tightly.

Liu Xiu's speed was hardly affected by Iverson's defense, and he went straight to the opposite basket and scored two points for a layup. Iverson could only watch helplessly.

It's not that Liu Xiu has become faster, but that even Iverson's physical strength has been seriously affected without resting for a second. The speed displayed at this moment is no faster than Liu Xiu in the counterattack!

'Butterfly Step' gave Liu Xiu a fixed speed +1 bonus, and 'Flying Squirrel' gave Liu Xiu a +3 speed bonus on the way to counterattack. The current speed is 94, the top limit!And Liu Xiu ate a strawberry-flavored candied haws during the long pause 2 minutes ago...

105 to 99, Liu Xiu once again helped the team extend the lead to 6 points!
Liu Xiu scored 3 points and 2 assists in the opening climax of the last quarter, and scored 3 points in the climax stage of being beaten. In addition to this counterattack layup, he scored 8 points in a single quarter, and his personal score increased to 41 points!
The opportunity came unexpectedly and went suddenly. Just when the mentality of the 76ers players was about to collapse, the surprise came again!
At the critical moment, Iverson had a teammate he trusted, and this teammate gave him positive feedback!
Korver caught the ball at a critical moment and made a decisive shot against Raheem's defense. Without the slightest hesitation, the ball flew over the finger of Raheem's defense and plunged into the basket!
102 to 105, the 76ers have the possibility of tying the score or even overtaking it!
Iguodala, who was still frustrated with the last goal, rushed up excitedly to hit Korver's chest, and then quickly retreated.

Seeing Liu Xiu running over, Iguodala concentrated his attention. He wanted to guard Liu Xiu and create a chance for the team to win!
