Chapter 194 The Dust Settled
The fans of the Georgetown University Shock Team cheered again. In their view, the Cavaliers were simply vulnerable!
What a dream start!
A superstar is a superstar. Iverson scored 4 points in less than 1 minute of the opening game!
And he still broke the ball from Zhao Qiang's hand. This is a face-saving output!
Cavalry fans were silent.
Although some of their fans also like Iverson very much, they feel very uncomfortable when the home team is beaten like this.
Zhao Qiang was cut off too suddenly and was very upset, but he was not discouraged.
This is the importance of mentality and tolerance.
This is competitive sports, who has never failed? Who has never had the ball stolen?
So Zhao Qiang made a gesture to his teammates and made a self-examination first: "Brothers, it's my fault! Come on, everyone!"
Da Ben and Da Heilong came over and high-fived Zhao Qiang, encouraging him: "It doesn't matter, that guy was a sneak attack!"
Zhao Qiang smiled. He knew very well that a sneak attack was also a tactic. The reason why the sneak attack was successful was because Iverson grasped the timing so accurately, and his speed ensured the success rate of the sneak attack.
Iverson has always been in the top two in the NCAA in steals, almost the same as Marbury.
That's why he was named the best defensive player.
The team's coach, John Thompson Jr., was not complacent because of the smooth start.
He is a very capable coach. When he took over the Georgetown University team in 1983, the previous year's record was a bad team with 3 wins and 23 losses.
However, after he took over, he dramatically improved the team's record.
After coaching for 3 seasons, he led the team to the top 64 of the NCAA tournament!
At the end of the next 27 years, the team led by Thompson had a record of 596 wins and 239 losses, with a winning rate of 71.4%!
He is simply the Popovich of the NCAA.
Of course, in a sense, he is much greater than Popovich, because Popovich's record and Duncan's record complement each other and are indispensable. After Duncan retired, Popovich's record also plummeted.
Thompson has cultivated many superstar figures during his coaching career.
Trick Ewing, Eric Floyd, Alonzo Mourning, Dikembe Mutombo, Allen Iverson, etc.
…
He attaches great importance to the Cavalry. Before the game, he stayed up late studying the video of the Cavalry for several days.
Zhao Qiang, in particular, is regarded by him as Iverson's strongest opponent.
So Thompson was not as excited as the fans on the sidelines. Instead, he frowned and didn't know what he was thinking.
The Cavalry attacked, and Xiaode passed the ball to Zhao Qiang again.
This means that the team still trusts the captain!
After Zhao Qiang received the ball, he was more cautious when facing Metz.
bass!
Zhao Qiang rushed over again.
At the moment when Metz was chasing after him, Zhao Qiang simplified his attack method. He immediately stopped suddenly, jumped high at the same time, and pulled out!
Iverson originally wanted to come over to help defend, but Zhao Qiang had already jumped up and he was too late.
Whoosh!
Hollow hit!
This goal demonstrated Zhao Qiang's top shooting ability.
4:2, the Cavalry is still 2 points behind!
Iverson looked at Zhao Qiang and nodded slightly. He also secretly admired Zhao Qiang's attack.
The game continues with the WOW team attacking.
Iverson held the ball past half-court, and Djokovic defended.
Because it was too easy to get past Druid just now, Druid's movements became larger, and he kept interfering with Iverson's dribbling.
But Iverson was not afraid of interference at all, and easily used his invincible speed and crossover to leave Djokovic behind.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he defeated Xiao De, he found that Zhao Qiang was already fighting in front of him.
Zhao Qiang made a gesture to Xiaode, asking him to guard Metz and leave Iverson to him.
Iverson nodded slightly, he was also looking forward to facing off against Zhao Qiang.
However, one of them plays point guard and the other plays shooting guard, so they must be out of position at the beginning.
Now that Zhao Qiang has taken the initiative to change over, Iverson can use his unique skills.
The sneak attack just now was indeed not a head-on confrontation. Now one-on-one is a real challenge to the strength of the two!
bass!
Iverson changed direction drastically and wanted to use his cross over to get past Zhao Qiang.
Although his move was indeed very large, Zhao Qiang was also well prepared. He moved his feet quickly and started walking with slight steps!
Miso!
Zhao Qiang actually blocked Iverson again.
Iverson was shocked and hurriedly took the ball back, staring at Zhao Qiang.
Zhao Qiang clapped his hands vigorously and shouted loudly: "Come on! Keep going! Aren't you fast? Let's see who is faster, you or me?"
Iverson's competitive spirit also increased greatly. He nodded and rushed to the right again.
Zhao Qiang did his job and blocked it again.
Unexpectedly, at the moment when Zhao Qiang blocked the ball, Iverson suddenly stopped and made a change of direction.
Zhao Qiang's ankle was supported by a system that was completely inhuman. He kicked off his left foot and followed immediately.
Want to change direction? No way!
Unexpectedly, at the moment Iverson changed direction, he suddenly lurched to the right again.
And at the moment when he changed direction, he dribbled the ball quickly with his left hand, almost flying close to the ground!
This is another of Iverson's unique tricks, which once knocked countless defenders to the ground and made them miserable.
Zhao Qiang really couldn't keep up. He could only watch helplessly as Iverson ran past him from his left side.
If it had been anyone else, he would have been knocked down.
But Zhao Qiang's ankle was too hard and he couldn't stop, but he was passed by Iverson, which was still a bit embarrassing.
However, anyone familiar with Iverson knows that being able to defend Zhao Qiang is already very good.
Normally, Iverson would have been knocked away as soon as he made his first move.
Iverson rushed to the paint area, made another fake move, shook Ben away, then went to the basket and hit the rebound!
6:2!
The team was so impressive that Iverson scored 6 points in a row!
What does it mean to be unstoppable, what does it mean to be unstoppable, and that is Iverson.
The fans at the scene once again let out bursts of exclamations and cheered for Iverson's amazing performance.
Zhao Qiang sighed, he finally understood that he could not guard against Iverson by himself.
In fact, it is impossible to guard against historical superstars in one-on-one situations.
So Zhao Qiang and his teammates made a self-examination again: "I didn't guard well, I'll double-team next time!"
Teammates came over to high-five Zhao Qiang again and comfort him with a few words.
Neutral fans are lamenting that this game is simply one-sided. Now they can only guess how many points the Marvel team can beat the Cavaliers.
Iverson played easily and comfortably, but the Cavaliers seemed to have exerted their strength!
Such a gap cannot be made up!
Coach Anzuo applauded vigorously on the sidelines, motivating the players and asking everyone not to be discouraged.
Chapter completed!
