Gay took the initiative to defend against Iverson, either him or Conley. In turn, Gay was very interested in facing off against Iverson.

Sun Ce was next to Iguodala, and they were about the same height, but the opponent's muscles really made him feel a lot of pressure.

Sun Ce can barely be regarded as the "two guardians", one on the left and one on the right. Both Conley and Gay are very good defensively, no worse than the current Iguodala + Holiday, but Sun Ce prefers Conley to guard Iverson.

Even if I guard Iverson, I'm better than guarding Iguodala.

But the defensive tactics are arranged like this. When Iverson reaches outside the three-point line and Gay defends, they both move toward the two top corners of the free throw line. There is no good three-pointer to defend the opponent.

In Princeton's style of play, it is very important to block these two lines, and the defense on the upper line must have a tall forward who can switch to the wings. Basically, with these two points, the 76ers' lame Princeton is locked up, just like

The lineup held the 76ers to 5 points in a single quarter.

Facing Gay, Iverson controlled the ball very freely, not paying attention to Gay's defense at all. He felt like he could break through at any time if he wanted to.

Iverson's ability to read defenses is undoubtedly top-notch, especially after watching half a quarter from the bench, he knew how successful the opponent's defensive position was in defending his team's poor tactics.

But, Princeton...he is Iverson! Princeton is a piece of shit!

Iverson began to dribble the ball rapidly, and suddenly, he suddenly took a big step to the left. Gay had some defensive experience with the breakthrough of this opponent who had been his teammate for a while. After all, he was a childhood idol-level opponent.

He also needs to guard against Iguodala on his left rear to take over at the free throw line.

Immobile as a mountain! Standing towering!

Guy waited for Iverson to change direction. The opponent's large change of direction in the butterfly step was so famous that he had learned it when he was a child.

"Fake Squid!"

Guy hurriedly chased to the right, but he didn't move immediately. Iverson broke through from the left!

When Guy turned around to chase after him, he saw Iverson glance at him, and his eyes seemed to read: Are you stupid?

Gay's speed is A+, and he may be one of the fastest in A+, but facing Iverson who has gotten rid of his outside defense, he can't catch up at all!

Fortunately, Conley on the left side of the free throw line was withdrawn at this time. Firstly, he was flanking Iverson, and secondly, he was blocking the passing space between Iverson and Holiday on the left wing. Carroll on the baseline

He also moved in, blocking the baseline passing space and flanking Iverson.

Although Iverson didn't hit Princeton like he was throwing away garbage, the Grizzlies' overall defensive awareness was strong! They completed the defense very well!

However, when Iverson burst deep, he passed the ball back to the left side of the free throw line!

Thaddeus Young pulled up to the high post when Iverson burst in. Conley reacted and wanted to chase, but was blocked by his defender Holiday!

Thaddeus Young's half-volume jump shot...

Hit!

Sun Ce was already inside the three-second zone and was ready to grab the rebound. It felt a little different!

Iverson has some differences compared to the preseason game almost a month ago!

Randolph's big elbow hit Dalembert's neck, and the opponent made the shot.

During the transition between offense and defense, the Grizzlies attacked. Sun Ce received Randolph's serve, passed it to Conley, and suppressed his own speed to run forward.

Sun Ce wanted to adapt to Conley's rhythm. He felt that he made this teammate very uncomfortable when he played against the Clippers in the last game. As a substitute, he could only adapt to this teammate.

But after Conley received the ball, he started to accelerate and run forward!

Sun Ce was stunned for a moment and hurried forward.

This lineup of the 76ers retreats quickly and everyone is willing to defend. Even Iverson is very willing to defend, but the defensive ability is not good.

The Grizzlies also advanced very quickly, but they were still a little behind. If Sun Ce directly counterattacked with the ball, he might be able to disrupt the opponent's defensive positioning.

When Sun Ce reached the frontcourt, Iverson retreated to the free throw line to defend, completely ignoring Sun Ce's outside line.

At this time, Sun Ce did not ask for the ball from Conley, but ran towards the left baseline and took Iverson away.

Conley feels very awkward now. The head coach wants him to speed up his pace as a pitcher. He is already ready. Although he doesn't know if he can do it well, he is ready to do so.

But Sun Ce handed the ball back to him. Conley was very smart and easily knew what Sun Ce was thinking. Sun Ce wanted to cooperate with him...

After adjusting his mentality, Conley was ready to pass the ball to Gay. Conley played steadily. He knew that he would definitely not be able to play alone against Holiday's defense.

Randolph entered the right low post at this time, and Carroll went to the right corner. The 76ers' defensive attention was focused on Gay and Randolph, and they were basically certain that these two would end the offense.

.

At this time, Sun Ce moved from the baseline to the block. Iverson began to pay attention to Sun Ce after Sun Ce joined the Grizzlies and wore his jersey. He knew that Sun Ce was good at using his height and the restraint of his teammates to grab rebounds, and he always stayed between Sun Ce and Sun Ce.

between the baskets.

At this time, he saw that Sun Ce had stepped on the line of the three-second zone, and when he was about to pass the ball to Guy, he withdrew his hand and quickly passed the ball to Sun Ce!

Sun Ce just turned his head and saw the ball flying over! He was leaning against Iverson with his left shoulder!

After receiving the ball with his right hand, Sun Ce subconsciously turned left and completely entered the three-second zone...

"Zach Randolph's low post skill is triggered at level 1, and the host's layup within two seconds is upgraded to A..."

Dalembert reacted quickly and turned around to block the shot. Sun Ce turned around and jumped up hard, pulled the ball to the right side of the basket, and threw the lever...

Hit!

The layup evaluation was temporarily upgraded to level A. Sun Ce was able to perform the layup lever action he learned from Ellis that was difficult to perform before!

Sun Ce's heart was pounding! He quickly retreated amidst the boos of the fans at the scene.

He was afraid of scoring this time and almost got blocked!

Conley quickly returned to defense. He didn't expect that Sun Ce actually had this skill. He originally planned to use Sun Ce's height to pass inside and outside to other people, such as Randolph who was vacated outside the three-second zone on the right.

Yesterday afternoon, when he was resting in the hotel, he studied Sun Ce's positional warfare attack. Sun Ce has certain positional warfare ability, and is particularly good at using the vision brought by his height to connect inside and outside when cooperating with Curry at the top of the arc.

But if you score a goal, it's a good goal. The Grizzlies are mainly defensive, and their offensive tactics are like that. As long as they can score goals, no matter how ugly or unscientific they are, as long as they can score, they will be fine if they don't advance and retreat to defense.

This does not mean that a strong defensive team must attack strictly. On the contrary, a strong defensive team needs players who can create unexpected opportunities on the offensive end, such as Manu Ginobili of the Spurs and Allen Iverson of the 76ers in 2001.

, Billups of the Pistons in 2004.

That's why the Grizzlies brought Sun Ce back.

Anyway, their offense is just like that. Just make a few adjustments according to Sun Ce's style of play. If the adjustment fails... it won't be any worse than the original offense.

It's the 76ers' turn to attack.

Iverson was still teasing Guy. Looking at Iverson's joking expression, Guy thought to himself that he didn't mess with this senior!

Iverson was top-notch in singles in the three games he played with the Grizzlies, and his performance was actually not bad. It was just that the Grizzlies were worried about Iverson's style of play and character, and did not keep their original promise to give Iverson a position.

The Clippers also provided a contract, and it was a full mid-level contract for Iverson to play, so the two parties negotiated a buyout. At that time, Iverson was still very respected by his teammates, and he was able to play as a substitute for three games because Iverson was promoted from his teammates.

Respect was felt there.

Seeing his teammates in position, Iverson started to move.

Conley's side was ready to defend this time. Iverson saw Conley's movement on the left and prepared to attack from the right.

This time Guy judged Iverson's actions and knew that Iverson was going to pass from his left, but... he just couldn't prevent it!

Even the 34-year-old Iverson is among the top in the league when it comes to breakthroughs!

Iverson continuously changed directions, easily shook off Guy, and broke into the three-point line. Sun Ce followed the defensive position to block the passing space of Iverson and Iguodala, but because Thaddeus -

Yang came out from the baseline. Sun Ce did not stick to Iverson, but paid attention to Thaddeus Young's actions.

Iverson shook Gay away and made a mid-range pull-up jumper one step outside the free throw line...

Hollow hit!

"It's so accurate! Is it such an accurate mid-range shot? Damn! I forgot, it's an A-level mid-range shot! This is a guy who hit over 40% of his mid-range shots during his peak period!"

Sun Ce finally knew why Conley's first reaction was to stick so close to him when he was defending just now. Iverson's mid-range shot was really amazing!

In his rookie season, he was able to beat Jordan at his peak and hit a mid-range shot. It doesn't matter if he beats the opponent. The key is to be able to hit a mid-range shot in front of opponents who are so taller than him!

Since the current lineups of both teams were very quick to defend and retreat, Conley discovered that Sun Ce could play positional warfare and that there was a threat, so he ignored the head coach's instructions and began to lead the team to steadily play positional warfare.

Coach Hollins on the sidelines felt so heartbroken!

Why is it different from what you imagined?

Why did Sun Ce start integrating into the team as soon as he disagreed?

And what’s going on with Sun Ce’s low-post scoring? Is it important to be tall?

"It seems quite remarkable. If I were that tall, I might have been able to make a few more All-Stars back then..." Coach Hollins was depressed... It didn't matter how the offense was played on the field, as long as he could score goals,

Good offense.

The game began to get tense, not because of the score, as the Grizzlies had always maintained the lead, but because of the situation!

After Iverson came on the court, the 76ers were led by Iverson, and the whole feeling was different!

As he continued to fight, Sun Ce, who was shocked by his opponent's performance, began to have an impression on his unclear memory. He remembered it!

When Iverson returned to the 76ers in the 2009-10 season, the 76ers couldn't do it even if they wanted to!
Chapter completed!
