NBA: Sharks at the peak, guard the basket!

Chapter 65 The flames of war rekindled, the basic skills VS Celestial Shark! !
Madison Square Garden, New York.

In the warm-up stage before the game, the arena was already full!
"Ladies and Gentlemen!"

"Today I will be at the Madison Square Garden in New York, and I will bring you the commentary on the game between Georgetown and Wake Forest!"

At the scene, the narrator from ESPN spoke the opening remarks proficiently while talking to the camera.

No way, the fans at the scene were too enthusiastic.

If you don't raise your voice, the commentary's voice will soon be crushed by the fans' voices.

"Alonzo, back then, we didn't have this kind of treatment. I really envy this guy Lin!!"

Next to the commentator, Mutombo, who was a special guest for the game, joked with his iconic hoarse voice.

"Oh, I don't think I'm bad looking."

Alonzo Mourning took up the words of his former teammate: "Ha, just kidding, I think Lin fully deserves this treatment!"

The ESPN commentator wanted to take over the topic and advance the process.

But I didn't expect that Mutombo and Mourning, the two live treasures, sang together and directly turned the pre-match analysis into a fancy praising meeting for Lin Hong and Iverson.

As for Wake Forest and Tim Duncan?
Excuse me.

They are so unfamiliar.

Mourning and Mutombo chatted and explained their expectations for Lin Hong and Iverson as if no one else was there.

The reporter who was in charge of the pre-match interview at the scene found Iverson in Georgetown at this time.

"Allen, are you going to hit the paint today like you always have?

Wake Forest's Tim is the strongest insider in the 96th! "

Iverson raised his eyebrows when he heard the words, his eyes looked disdainfully:
"To me, it's the same inside all teams."

"I will use my best offensive method to tear the defense and complete the finish."

"Georgetown will regain the championship this year under the leadership of Lin and me!"

The reason why Iverson dared to speak like this is because of his confidence.

After all, 96 was a recognized draft year!

Now in various NBA draft prediction lists, Iverson is firmly in the top three.

A small guard with a height of only 183 cm can enter the top three in the draft list. This is unbelievable in the NCAA where the giants are like forests!

Therefore, Iverson's speech does have his confidence.

In the past season, Iverson's sharp breakthrough did not know how many teams' inside defenses were pierced!
He pierced his opponent's heart like a sharp knife! !

The most important thing is that this year Georgetown has the inside beast Lin Hong, who has made up for Georgetown's shortcomings. This is his biggest reliance.

at the same time.

Wake Forest's bench.

"Tim, our dream is here."

Wake Forest coach Dave Odom, with a solemn face, walked up to Duncan and patted him on the shoulder heavily:

"Tim, with this victory, we can create the best record in team history."

Count this season.

Wake Forest has entered the round of 16 from eight.

[-] into the elite eight.

[-] into the final four.

However, he was always missing a move, and was repeatedly blocked by his opponents from the gate of the finals.

Even with Tim Duncan, Wake Forest's best record is just reaching the final four.

The opportunity to create the best record in team history is right in front of you!

However, the more critical this moment was, Tim Duncan's heart became calmer.

"I understand, Coach."

After a simple nod, Duncan got up to warm up before the game.

Seeing Deng's expressionless face and Gujing's calm state of mind, Dave Odom's heart suddenly became more at ease.

The more critical the game, the calmer character like Duncan can determine the trend of the game.

This is the quality that a leader player should have!

"Lin, we are getting closer and closer to the championship!"

On the other side, George Town warmed up for halftime.

Allen Iverson couldn't stop his excitement, his eyes were full of fighting spirit.

For Iverson, this is not just the last battle before reaching the final.

It is a battle of revenge for the elimination of their own team last season.

"Aaron, the champion can only be our Georgetown."

Lin Hong reached out and hooked Iverson's neck.

Perhaps many people will choose to persuade Iverson to calm down.

But Lin Hong is very clear.

Let Iverson calm down at this time?
Just kidding? !

If he is timid, then he is not worthy of being called the answer! !

"Listen up, lads, let's go and have a blast!"

Contrary to Dave Odom, Georgetown coach John Thompson, after the warm-up, directly gave his players blood.

All you need is a vigorous, indomitable momentum! !

It's done!
The warm-up is over, and the starters of both sides stand on the sidelines, ready to play!

Lin Hong subconsciously took a look at the starting five at Wake Forest.

Well, apart from Duncan, Lin Hong also has a little impression of the small guard Rusty Lalu.

As for why?
Because this man caught the last train of the Bulls dynasty and won a championship trophy.

As for the rest of Wake Forest's players?
Sorry, they are all proper tool people, so I have no impression.

The two teams started on the pitch, with Duncan and Lin Hong standing on the halfway line one after another.

Wake Forest's great basic skills VS Georgetown Celestial Sharks!

The duel between Duncan and Lin Hong begins now!
"Whoosh!"

In anticipation, the referee threw the ball high.

Lin Hong stomped on the spot and jumped up swiftly.

But Duncan's take-off reaction speed is also very fast.

The two sides were almost neck and neck in the air.

Although Duncan lost a few centimeters in height and wingspan, he made up for this gap with his impressive bounce speed and bounce.

After all, the basic skills are not yet a stone Buddha, but they are not in vain! !

However, Lin Hong gradually took the lead!

In the end, Lin Hong won!

After defeating Duncan with the jump ball, Lin Hong hit the frontcourt with strides.

This is the classic Georgetown fast break tactic.

Iverson, who was holding the ball, decisively prepared for the quarterback to make a long pass to the frontcourt, but was abruptly interrupted by Rusty LaRue's fierce close-up.

Georgetown's opening classic tactics failed to succeed, but the problem is not big.

Iverson was at the top of the arc, using Lin Hong's pick-and-roll to get rid of Rusty LaRue.

Facing Duncan's supplementary defense, Iverson will go to Tiger Mountain this time!

Continuously changed to fake moves, and finally shook Duncan away.

Then the strength under his feet suddenly rose, and he strode straight to the inside line.

Facing the defense of the opponent's small forward, Iverson is still very calm.

After a beautiful pull, he successfully escaped the opponent's defense.

Immediately after a slight twitch between his right fingers, the basketball was moving towards the basket at an extremely fast speed!

Art!

This ball is simply the art of offense!

The fans at the scene stood up one after another, held their breath, and waited for the basketball to hit the net!

"Snapped!"

But what everyone didn't expect was that when the basketball was about to reach the highest point, a figure galloped past!

Immediately afterwards, the basketball was mercilessly slapped on the backboard by a big hand, and the trajectory was forcibly changed at this moment!

"It's Tim!"

The narrator's eyes widened in surprise, the veins on his face popped out, and he stared blankly at the scene in front of him!
"Tim completed an incredible chase shot, before the basketball reached the highest point, a slap changed its direction of travel!"

This scene really made him look stupid...

In Duncan's first round with Iverson, the big cap rejected Iverson's pull-up layup.

The basketball was snatched by Peggy, who had quick eyesight and quick hands, and then quickly passed to the hands of Lin Hong who was on the inside!
"boom!"

Faced with Duncan's strict defense, Lin Hong first chiseled with his body, then turned around abruptly, and pulled the onion from the dry land, and when he pulled it up, it was a one-armed buckle!
Duncan actually withstood Lin Hong's strong attack in the first hit and did not lose his position.

The key is that the speed and timing of Lin Hong's instant jump are too fast.

Before Duncan could keep up with the jump, he could only raise his hands, eagerly being dunked by the opponent!
"Wow, a wonderful shot at the basket, Lin used his strength and speed to bully Tim!"

"To be honest, I think Lin is looking for a place for Allen!"

"Aaron was blocked by Tim Duncan just now, and Lin Hong responded with practical actions!"

The brother was deflated, and he personally found him back.

In this regard, Mourning and Mutombo, who used to be teammates, don't be too skilled!
In the eyes of the two of them, this ball was for Lin Hong to get his brother back!
Offensive and defensive transition, Wake Forest attack.

Duncan is not a vegetarian either.

Holding the ball in the mid-range on the wing, Duncan tried to make a false and real shot.

Lin Hong retreated half a step vigilantly, Duncan seized the opportunity decisively, shot in front of Lin Hong's face, and made a quick shot from the CIC.

The basketball skillfully hit the board and was caught.

Duncan responded to Lin Hong's violent buckle with a head-on hit!
……

Ps: It's over, Barbie's q is over, and she has grown a few white hairs! !
