Chapter 198: The Preseason Begins(1/2)
Iverson is really angry!
In the previous games, Iverson led the Marvel team and basically ended the battle five or six minutes early, replacing bench players to play garbage time.
But today, not only did they not open up the score, but they allowed the Cavalry to gain momentum.
This is intolerable!
Iverson held the ball past half-court, faced a double team, and rarely called a screen.
This is the first time Iverson has called a screen today. Before, he would rather pass the ball out than cover, because in his mind, calling a screen is quite embarrassing.
So proud!
But at the critical moment, Iverson couldn't think so much anymore. He had to win the game first!
This is a knockout match that determines the outcome!
Center Sanders moved up to the high position and blocked Zhao Qiang. Iverson took the opportunity to move laterally, ducked outside the three-point line, and took a shot!
Iverson didn't take many three-pointers today. He missed the three-pointer just now, so he didn't continue shooting.
But at this moment, Iverson still dared to take action resolutely. This psychological quality is so impressive!
Zhao Qiang had a premonition that something was bad.
In his memory, Iverson had three-pointers, and his shooting percentage was not low.
It's just that in the 1990s, leading stars rarely shot three-pointers. The environment was such that coaches didn't agree to shoot more three-pointers.
But Iverson was stimulated by Zhao Qiang and Brown and became violent.
Whoosh!
Three point hit!
This three-pointer was so domineering that it immediately ignited the enthusiasm of the fans of the Marvel Team. The arena exploded again with endless screams!
Iverson was also very satisfied with the three-pointer. He once again made a classic celebration, putting his hands on his ears and listening to the cheers of the fanatical fans.
At 40:36, the Marvel team widened the point difference to 4 points.
Iverson's three-pointer was like a declaration: What's so great about three-pointers, I can make them too!
Zhao Qiang saw that his teammates were a little panicked and immediately yelled at him: "What a fright! Let's fight back!"
The Cavalry players immediately perked up.
Zhao Qiang held the ball in the backcourt and pushed forward. After halftime, facing Metz's defense, he made a gesture towards Brown.
Brown immediately came over to cover.
In fact, the screen was fake, it was mainly to bring Iverson over.
Sure enough, Iverson thought Zhao Qiang was going to hit him with a three-pointer in return, so he immediately double-teamed Zhao Qiang in an attempt to steal the ball.
But Brown suddenly opened it and ran to the right at a 45-degree angle.
Zhao Qiang threw the ball over Iverson's head in a tacit understanding.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Iverson hurriedly returned to prevent Brown from taking action, but it was already too late.
Brown's shots are like lightning, wow!
Three points!
Brown actually hit a three-pointer against Iverson?
The fans of the Marvel team fell silent for a moment, while the fans of the Cavaliers were jumping and jumping for joy!
40:39, the score difference is back to 1 point!
The game is getting more and more exciting.
But Iverson's face became more and more ugly. He felt that Brown, a cricket substitute, dared to challenge me for a three-pointer?
If Zhao Qiang and I are fighting against each other, that's it. Why are you a substitute?
He didn't know that in the cavalry, everyone's tactical status was the same.
They will decide who takes action based on the specific situation on the court. This is the ultimate in team basketball!
Even captain Zhao Qiang will help his teammates cover, block positions and do the dirty work when needed.
So at this moment, Brown is the core of the team, and everyone will help him complete his mission!
There were 1 minute and 17 seconds left in the first half, and the score difference was 1 point.
Marvel team attack.
Iverson dribbled the ball forward again.
After his teammates screened him, Iverson made another three-point shot!
It's up.
Iverson really got into it. He didn't believe in evil and shot another three-pointer.
Marvel head coach John Thompson Jr. shook his head angrily.
Although he is a great coach, in his mind, this is not how basketball is played!
But now that the first half is almost over, he won't call a timeout or make substitutions, just let Iverson play blindly.
Whoosh!
Iverson is Iverson. When he gets aggressive, it's really scary. He hits the second three-pointer again!
After being languid for a few seconds, the Marvel fans burst into cheers again.
"Iverson, you are the best!"
"Iverson I love you!"
…
This popularity is really unfounded, the whole stadium was filled with the shouts of fans.
Zhao Qiang and Brown murmured a few words in a low voice, patted his arm, and Brown nodded repeatedly.
There were 57 seconds left in the first half and the score was 43:39.
Cavalry attack.
Zhao Qiang advanced with the ball, and after halftime, Brown came to cover again.
Due to the exquisite cooperation between the two just now, Brown was given an opportunity to take action easily, so this time Iverson blocked Zhao Qiang and called Metz at the same time, asking him to change defense quickly and not give Brown a chance to take action.
Just when their attention was on Brown, Zhao Qiang suddenly accelerated and got out between Iverson and Metz.
Iverson was shocked and hurriedly chased after him.
Mays didn't dare to chase, so he followed Iverson's order to defend Brown.
After Zhao Qiang reached the penalty area, he took advantage of the opponent's unstable footing and threw a ball directly, oh!
Got two points!
Virtual reality, real reality, virtual reality!
Just when you thought you were going to score three points, I'm here to score two points!
At 43:41, the Cavalry was still 2 points behind.
There are 34 seconds left in the game.
Marvel team attack.
Iverson advanced with the ball, and faced a double team, he called another screen.
However, the Cavalry defenders were well prepared and did not give Iverson any room to take action, causing a huge delay and hitting Iverson's face.
Although Iverson had top dribbling skills and did not lose the ball, he had no chance to attack under the double-team of the Cavaliers.
In desperation, Iverson had no choice but to pass the ball out.
Metz received the ball and faced Zhao Qiang. He wanted to take a step laterally and then take action.
Unexpectedly, his dribbling skills were too poor and his intentions were too obvious.
Zhao Qiang judged it in advance and stretched out his right arm, bang!
He actually broke the ball.
There are more than 3 seconds left in the half.
Iverson was so angry that he yelled at Metz: "Hurry up!"
Metz also wanted to chase, but Zhao Qiang was too fast and rushed through half the court like a cheetah.
Just when Metz lowered his head and accelerated, trying to rush to the penalty area and pull Zhao Qiang down, Zhao Qiang suddenly stopped outside the three-point line!
Metz was shocked and tried to block it again, but Zhao Qiang had already taken action!
Chasing three points!
