Larry Brown replaced James with a livid face. James was replaced by Lamar Odom. This was Odom's first appearance in this game. Players like Odom who often short-circuit their brains do not
It's not what Brown likes, but now the connection between the inside and outside is lost, and he has been encountering double teams, and the ball transfer is not good, so Odom, who has a strong assist ability, is put on the court.
After a few rounds, the Dream Six team fell behind Serbia and Montenegro by 7 points. Larry Brown made adjustments again, replacing Marbury with Wade and Iverson as the point guard. During the timeout, Larry
Brown said to Iverson: "Allen, I know we have had some problems before. Although I still don't think I did anything wrong, I think we should put those problems aside at this time. Now we
The goals are the same.”
"I know! I'm also trying my best to play!" Iverson, who was behind in the score, was a little anxious.
"No! Allen, what I need is not for you to tell me to try your best, but for you to treat this game as the last game in your life and fight forward like you did when we were aiming for the championship!"
This sentence seemed to take Iverson back to 2001, when there was no such irreconcilable conflict between him and Brown. He led his 76ers brothers to eliminate the Pacers led by Reggie Miller.
Killing the Raptors led by Carter, who is known as Jordan's successor, and stepping on the Bucks led by Ray Allen, they made it all the way to the finals. If the Lakers' OK combination was not too powerful, maybe he would have been that year.
It's the championship. 2001 was a pain for Iverson, but it was also a classic moment that he was proud of in his life. He single-handedly created a miracle. And now Brown wants him to carry the Dream Six Team on his shoulders.
Just like when we challenged the 76ers.
Brown also made defensive tactics, using Duncan to completely contain the inside line of Serbia and Montenegro. Brown believed that these two offensive and defensive players could lead the Dream Six team back from the edge of the cliff.
Iverson dribbled the ball and stared at the big man Bodiloga, who was almost a head taller than him, and said: "I heard that you are called 'the best player outside the NBA.' Is there such a thing?
"
Bodilloga saw another person who wanted to challenge him. He smiled and said: "I don't know if it is the best, but NBA players seem to be no more than that."
"Really? I don't know what you think of others, but I know that today you will definitely suffer humiliation that you have never experienced before on this court."
"Humiliate me? Why are you?" Although Bodiloga has watched Iverson's game, he really doesn't think highly of this little man.
"Just because I am the answer to this game!"
After saying this, Iverson made a breakthrough directly to the right. There was no fake move at all, and he passed Bodilloga directly. Bodilloga had just caught up, and Iverson made another sudden stop and changed direction.
The ball was dribbled back to his left hand. Bodilloga watched helplessly as he passed by Iverson again. Bodilloga ran over and was about to turn around to chase Iverson when Iverson broke through to the right again.
, Bodilloga didn't stand firm, his center of gravity had just turned to the left and then to the right, and he suddenly fell to the ground. Iverson glanced at Bodilloga who fell on the ground, and then made an easy shot.
.
Bodilloga looked at this little man in disbelief on the ground. What he did just now was simply a humiliating joke. He was not pretending to be realistic, because almost every movement he made was done with all his strength, but there was nothing you could do about it.
Stop him, his agility, his balance, his ability to adjust...
After all, Bodiloga has experienced many battles and will not lose his self-confidence because of this goal. He dribbled to the frontcourt and faced Iverson's defense. He shot a three-pointer as if it was nothing, and the ball went in.
Basketball. Bodiloga spread his arms and said to Iverson with a joking smile: "You hit the ball very beautifully, but it seems that I scored one more point than you."
How could Iverson bear such humiliation? If he was fighting for honor and responsibility just now, at this moment Iverson is completely fighting for dignity.
After Iverson received the ball, he moved it directly to the frontcourt. Before several players from the Serbian and Montenegrin teams and the US team were in position, he made a pull-up jumper alone and scored again!
"That's my answer!" Iverson pointed at Bodilloga and said after scoring.
Until the ball was scored, Milicic and others had not returned to the half court, and they did not come back. Bodiloga received Pavlovic's quick serve and made a long pass directly to Milicic in the frontcourt.
After Milicic received the ball, Duncan was already defending from behind. Milicic prefers to attack facing the basket when facing Duncan, because Duncan is stronger than himself and his position is very stuck, although it cannot be reflected in the data.
How good is his shot-blocking ability, but shot-blocking is not an absolutely accurate measure when measuring an interior defensive ability. What Duncan can do is make every action from catching the ball to shooting uncomfortable.
"Bang!" Sure enough, Milicic turned around and missed the shot, and Odom got a rebound.
As soon as the rebound was received, Iverson had already run out. Odom made a pass that looked at the entire court. Iverson caught the ball and looked back at Bodilloga behind him. After holding the ball, he took off and completed the ball.
A two-handed dunk.
The fans in the audience were all excited. You must know that Iverson didn't dunk very often. Although he had a vertical jump of 1.22 meters, which was enough height for dunking, firstly, he was usually flanked and guarded, and there was no chance of dunking. Secondly,
He usually doesn't enjoy dunking during counterattacks. After all, dunking is very physically demanding for a player of his height.
But this time Iverson dunked. After dunking, he grabbed the basket with one hand and pointed at Bodilloga with one hand, and said: "Are you satisfied with my answer?"
Bodiloga really couldn't laugh at this time. After getting the ball, he absentmindedly sent the ball to Pavlovic who was very close to him. Who knew that he was still some distance away from Pavlovic a moment ago?
Iverson had already rushed over the moment he sent the ball. When the ball was about to reach Pavlovich's hands, Iverson flashed like a fox, a phantom passed by, and the ball was already in Iverson's hands.
A light layup.
How could he be so fast? Bodiloga didn't know how to describe this little man. He didn't know much about the NBA. Although he knew that Iverson was a superstar, when he learned from Milicic
When Iverson never won a championship, a kind of contempt arose in his heart.
The championship is indeed the highest honor in the NBA, but many players who have not won a championship are even more dazzling than the championship MVP. They single-handedly strive for the highest honor of basketball, but fall down time and time again on the way forward.
It is more worthy of pride than winning the championship with superstars gathered together and looking up to others...
Iverson was not perfect, but he was a broken fighter, far better than a perfect insect.
