King of the Point Guard Era

Chapter 164 Belongs to Iguodala

The two sides in this game seemed to be testing others in the previous two games, but now they are fighting each other with real knives and guns after finding out the details of the two sides. He Yixiang and Nowitzki After two games of almost god-like performance, the two finally fell into the mortal world. The two played no differently from ordinary players. It seemed that they were waiting for them to find their own rhythm.

But now it is the home court of the Kings. The anxious Kings players who are 0:2 behind are naturally more hungry for victory. Andre Iguodala.The Mavericks double-teamed He Yixiang, but most of them blocked the route of He Yixiang's ball to Casspi.

Iguodala received the ball from He Yixiang at a 45-degree angle. He first feinted and made a fake pass to Casspi. This season, Iguodala received a pass from He Yixiang. There were not a few secondary assists. Marion, who had watched Iguodala's video before the game, had already played this song, and his center of gravity was slightly shifted to the left. At this time, on his right side, a The Kangzhuang Avenue leading directly to the inside line appeared directly in front of Iguodala.

It was this opportunity that Iguodala was waiting for, and Iguodala immediately took the ball back and quickly slammed in from the right. Marion, who had been cheated by his center of gravity, was afraid of paying a blocking foul for this, so he had to take advantage of the situation to take the left and let Igo Darla went to the basket unimpeded on the right side, and Chandler guarded the penalty area. With Marion helping him cover the left side, his task was to seal the right side. He wisely got stuck one step ahead of time. position, and at the same time keep Cousins ​​behind, which can not only interfere with Iguodala's layup, but also prevent Iguodala from passing the ball directly to Cousins.

Just when Chandler was really applauding his wit secretly, Iguodala had already taken off directly, aiming at the basket. At this time, he seemed to have returned to the time when he was in high spirits in the 76ers. It was too late for Chandler to take off and block the shot again. In his mind, he met Iguodala several times in the regular season this year. Not only did he not block the shot, but Iguodala, who dunked successfully, got another chance to free throw.The scene of riding and dunking Chandler is deeply imprinted in the minds of every Kings fan.

But today's first quarter is destined to belong to Iguodala. He tasted the sweetness after breaking through the buckle. When facing Marion, his self-confidence is obviously much higher than the previous two games. This time he used He Yixiang's signature move, a three-point retreat. Poor Marion thought he still had to break through, and was directly dizzy by this set of operations, although the coherence of this set of moves was not as good as He Yixiang's. , but the victory was used for the first time, just like the ball just now, which made Marion, who had studied Iguodala deeply before the game, unable to react at once, and tonight Iguodala's hand was obviously Like opening a scope, this somewhat difficult three-pointer went straight in.

With a 2+1 and a 3-pointer, the score was pulled away in an instant. Carlisle's calm face changed at the beginning. Iguodala's silence in the first two games made him let go of his guard against the former 76ers boss. Marion His defense is indeed at the forefront of the league, and he belongs to the person who makes him feel at ease, but this sudden wave of rhythm made him have to call a timeout. It is not a disadvantage to relieve such a fiery touch with a timeout.

"I didn't expect that! I thought it was He or Dirk who would break the deadlock first, but I couldn't bear to beat Andre! This is just like the one I saw last year," Smith saw such Iguodala seems to recall the time when he commented on the 76ers in the past. His performance is absolutely historical, and there is nothing wrong with him retiring to the second line, but sometimes, when He is tired, he should occasionally show his fangs, so that the league does not forget him."

At this time, Barkley, who was optimistic about the Kings from the beginning, couldn't help but blow up: "I have said that the Kings have a great chance of winning this game, but I really believe in the Kings' three cores. Each of them has The ability to dominate the game, just like Andre, when I was still in the 76ers, I explained a lot of his outstanding games.” God knows that when Barkley started bragging about the King, he didn’t use Iguoda at all. Taking this factor into consideration, in his mind, the king must rely on another explosive performance to win against the Mavericks.

"The game hasn't won yet. They only lead by 8 points in the first quarter. You can tell what kind of victory you have. Now, at most, the Kings have taken the lead. You know, the Mavericks still have several super firepower points on the bench. Sit down, who knows if someone like Andre will explode tonight?"

The timeout ended and the game continued. Unfortunately, this timeout did not suppress Iguodala's touch as Carlisle hoped. The Kings had two points on the outside that needed to be flanked, He Yixiang and Iguodala. The Mavericks are the top defensive team in the league, and it is extremely difficult to rotate. The ones who benefit the most are Cousins ​​​​and pitcher Casspi. He made a layup from an excellent position, and Casspi hit two three-pointers one after another.

At the end of the first quarter, the Kings led by 31 points at 21:10. Most importantly, He Yixiang only contributed 2 points and 3 assists in the first quarter, and got a rest in the 7th minute of the game This is why Yixiang saved enough physical strength to avoid the crisis of losing strength like the previous game, and the best performance in the first quarter was none other than Iguodala, who only scored 12 points in the first two games. With 9 points and 7 points, he returned to the home court and scored 5 points on 14 of 4 shots in the first quarter, and also sent [-] assists. If you don’t look at the name, you will think that this data is He Yixiang's stats can only be won by breaking out in the first quarter.

This kind of lead is also unexpected for the Kings fans, but in any case, a big lead is always a happy thing. The Kings fans celebrated wildly in the stands, as if they had already won the game Same as victory.
